Comments: Hi everyone! Here's Chapter Six! I apologise for the lateness, but as you know, I had blood poisoning and Salmonella, which I am still suffering from. I actually got fired over it. *Sigh* And then a few weeks ago, my father suffered a suspected stroke and is bed-bound. I have been looking after him, so I've had no time to come onto a computer and post the next Chapter.

Chapter Seven is completely new, and I'm just waiting for my editor to return it to me so that I can post it. I really hope that you enjoy the final two Chapters of this Fanfic. I have absolutely loved writing it! Sexy Battousai is just yummy and I'm infamous for dragging out the UST scenes in my Fanfics.

Chapter Six

_________________________________________________________________ ____

 

Kaoru breezed into the kitchen after a rapid bath in the furo. She had, of course half-expected Battousai to show up and slip into the water with her. And god how that had brought visions into her head. She had exited the water, face and body flushed-but not from the heat, but from passion. His touch was just hypnotic, irresistible...burning. Realizing where her mind was taking her, she'd bound her chest and thrown on her training gi, making sure to double-knot the belt...just in case.

"Good morning, Miss Kaoru!" Kenshin sang out cheerfully from the kitchen bench, his hands moving rapidly over vegetables with a sharp knife. She was mesmerized by his movements for a moment, knowing that those hands could be equally deadly or delightful. Blushing, she turned her eyes from his form, feeling irate that he was acting as if he hadn't slept in her room all night!

"Morning Kenshin," she said tartly, looking swiftly about the room for Sanosuke and Yahiko.

"They're out in the yard. I told them they could not eat until they swept up." The red-haired man murmured to her, still not turning around.

Her blue eyes narrowed on him balefully for a long moment. So, he'd gotten rid of them?! That could only mean one thing-before she could even finish her thought, a blur in red and dark pink appeared right before her and wickedly amused purple-gold eyes stared into her own. "I said-good morning, Kaoru," Rurouni purred softly, a hand reaching up to stroke along the underside of her jaw.

"I-I already said good morning back," Kaoru stammered, eyes going wide. Her lips parted in unconscious anticipation.

The Rurouni smiled slowly, leaning in closer so that his lips were almost brushing his. "Ah-but it's the way you said it,” he said teasingly, a hand sliding over her hip. Before she could gasp, he yanked her closer to him so that she was flush against his form. Huge blue eyes stared into his own and he was satisfied at the instant desire that had sprung into her expressive face. She was his; yes she was...

"Kenshin, we shouldn't be doing this," Kaoru said urgently, turning her head to look at the kitchen doorway. What if Sano or Yahiko came in? He shouldn't be doing this to her in such an open place. She blushed as she realized what she had thought. What was she thinking of? He shouldn't be doing this at all!

Gold spread rapidly into the red-haired man's eyes as he realized that he had lost her attention. "Kaoru," he said roughly, his hand moving from her hip to her chin and forcing her face back to his. "Please try to pay attention when you're with me," he chided more gently.

"But Sano-" she began, feeling her heart began to thunder in her chest. She felt as Battousai shifted, bringing her in closer to him, one of his legs between hers so that she could feel the hardness of his desire in the apex of her thighs. She flushed brighter, eyes darkening with longing. Oh god, that felt so good. She wiggled experimentally against him and was rewarded when a jolt of something wonderful spread from her going up to her stomach. She groaned helplessly, head falling back.

Battousai couldn't believe it when she'd actually rubbed up against his manhood, her expressive eyes filling with lust. She was becoming so bold. Eyes narrowing, they zeroed in on the smooth skin of her neck, as it lay exposed to him. Her head was still thrown back in abandon as she moved against him again. He moved his arm behind her shoulders to support her, turning them both with his godlike speed so that she was pressed back against the counter and therefore giving him more leverage. "You like that?" he said silkily, mouth swooping down to her bared skin. His lips swept over the silky warmth of her neck and he felt his desire peak higher as her lower body also arched into his.

It felt so good. Oh, so good. All Kaoru could do was feel as Battousai's mouth opened over her skin and she felt his tongue burning a path down to her collar. "Oh, Kenshin," she moaned, thrusting helplessly against the hardness she felt against her most private part. He obligingly thrust back, grinding himself into her and bringing back the sensations she had felt in the bathroom.

"Kaoru," Battousai growled at her, eyes like liquid gold. She was driving him insane and they were doing this where they should not be. Their first time together should be in her bedroom...or his. He smiled against her skin, then bit her lightly on the shoulder, where he could get past her training gi. But it wasn't enough! He was so close to taking her right then and she was writhing against him in her innocence, trying to reach something she didn't understand. If she didn't stop right now, he wouldn't be responsible for his actions!

As Battousai removed his lips from her neck, she moved her head down so that she could stare into his amber eyes with frantic plea. She needed-something. Wanted...something. Oh god! She rubbed against him once again and again, thrusting her breasts into his chest. She saw his eyes grow dangerous and heated a moment before his lips were crushing hers. He kissed her long and deeply, tongue moving into her mouth and dancing with hers in the same rhythm as she was thrusting against him. Her stomach became tight-and then something cold briefly touched her neck, just where it met the shoulder and there was a sharp pain. Gasping into his mouth, she jerked away, her eyes getting caught into Battousai's golden gaze. What she saw in his eyes was as frightening as it was thrilling. An uncontrollable lust...and then his face was moving down towards her neck. She remembered the pain there a moment before Battousai's mouth closed over her skin. She felt a sting and then was lost in sensation as his tongue laved over her wound. Wound? Vaguely, she realized she'd been hurt...but how?

Red hair obscuring his face, Battousai's tongue laved over the cut on Kaoru's shoulder that he had made with his cutting knife. It was only a shallow wound, but the taste of her blood almost sent him wild with hunger and lust.

"Kenshin! Can we stop now and eat?!" Yahiko yelled from somewhere close.

Battousai jerked away from Kaoru as if he had been shot, his eyes still blazing gold and his body demanding release. When he saw Kaoru sprawled back against the bench, her gi gaping slightly and her eyes glazed with passion, he almost went back to her. "Compose yourself!" he hissed at her, as angered by the interruption as he had been by being taken over by his lusts. He should have more control!

Kaoru licked her lips, coming slowly to herself. She blinked, ran a hand over her face and then stared at Battousai, who was panting as much as she and seemed to be having trouble calming his golden gaze.

"Kenshin! Yo!" Sanosuke bellowed.

The two locked eyes for a long moment, all their emotions showing in their eyes and then Battousai was at her side by the bench, the knife in his hand once more. "You can eat soon!" he shouted back to Sano, whom he could not hear coming along the hall. Battousai looked sideways at Kaoru and saw that she was still shell-shocked from their passion. She also looked thoroughly kissed!

Kaoru moaned a little, feeling lost and bereft. She'd been so close to...something and now it was fading, but leaving her with a feeling of dissatisfaction. Her stomach ached too. She suddenly heard footsteps and gasped, spinning to face the bench. Sanosuke and Yahiko couldn't see her like this! She swiftly reached up and straightened her hair, then her gi. And then she remembered her neck and she frowned, her fingers going to her skin curiously. When she felt a shallow cut there, her eyes went huge and she gasped, head jerking about to stare at Kenshin. His eyes, now violet again flashed briefly with gold, a strange satisfaction within the depths. "Kenshin?" she whispered, somehow shocked that he had cut her. She remembered his lips there and...he had been tasting her blood?

"You know what I am," Kenshin murmured to her, a brief sadness flashing through his eyes. He was too dark for her. She was shocked. Damn.

"I-" Kaoru's words were cut off as Sano and Yahiko stomped into the room, obviously overdoing how tired they were from the sweeping.

"What? Breakfast is still being cooked?" Sano said with disbelief, walking up behind Kaoru and peering over her shoulder. He heard a slight growl from Kenshin and started, realizing his chest was pressing against Kaoru's back. He jerked back hurriedly as flashing amber eyes stared at him, before Kenshin's head once more turned back to his cooking. Woah! Something had happened between those two just then, obviously why breakfast had been delayed and Sano had stepped on Battousai's toes. "Don't touch, Missy. Gotcha," he muttered under his breath, backing off. He knew Kenshin would have heard his low words, even if Kaoru hadn't.

Kaoru had heard Kenshin growl and she suspected she knew exactly why. He was so damn possessive! He didn't own her, damn it! Glaring sideways, she grabbed a knife and began to furiously cut up a carrot. A warm hand covered hers briefly, as Kenshin removed the knife from her, gently replacing it with a ladle.

"Please stir the soup, Miss Kaoru," Kenshin said gently, not wanting to upset her further. Not only was she shocked over his cutting her and tasting her blood in the height of passion, but she had also divined that Sanosuke had been warned off touching her in any way-and she was very angry about it! He could almost read her thoughts as she stomped over to the pot on his other side, kicking him with her bare foot on the way. She stirred furiously, almost spilling the soup everywhere, but Kenshin smiled, moving behind her. He innocently tipped the contents of the board into the pot, pressing against her back. She stiffened and he sighed, caressing her briefly on the cheek with his left hand, hidden from Sanosuke and Yahiko's eyes.

Kaoru moved sideways, sliding her body away from Kenshin's. She needed to think. Their heated exchange only minutes before had gone way past what they had previously done and the cut...it was much more than she had expected. Battousai had cut her, during their passion to taste her blood. "I need to think,” she said under her breath, going over to the low table where Sanosuke and Yahiko were sitting. She sat down carefully, staring down at the hands in her lap. Yes, she needed to think. Battousai had done something dark. Very dark...but somehow passionate. She had reached his darkest recesses, unleashing his true nature. But was she ready for it?

It was now early afternoon and Kaoru had been avoiding him like the plague, working hard with Yahiko in the training hall. He'd gone too far! much too far. Kenshin growled furiously under his breath, eyes going from gold to violet and back again rapidly. He'd cut her and tasted her blood and she had looked so shocked. He would never forget the look in her eyes. "I can't do this to her," he murmured, hands tightening about the broom till the handle almost snapped. She was just a young innocent girl and though she had escalated their desire by rubbing against him till he almost lost his mind, she had not known what she was doing. "I will hurt her. I did hurt her," Kenshin paused, his eyes settling into a dark purple, filled with grief and longing. What if she was scared of him now and would not let him touch her? He had used a knife-a knife on her!

"Oi, Kenshin," Sanosuke said, coming along the deck with a small bottle of sake in his hand. His brown eyes took in Kenshin's tortured expression and he sighed. Something bad had happened between Kenshin and Kaoru. Maybe he could help. "Come and sit down for a minute," he urged, sitting down and dangling his feet from the edge of the deck.

Kenshin hesitated, and then he slowly walked over to Sano and sat down beside the man. He was offered a drink of sake, but shook his head. "No thank you," he finally looked at his friend, who was staring back at him with a pensive expression. "Isn't it a little early for sake?" he admonished gently, slipping back into his usual role easily. He had been Kenshin, the Rurouni for ten years now, acting gently, speaking in a higher tone than his normal cadence and refusing to kill. Of course, Sano saw right past his act.

"Don't give me that look!" Sano said, frowning darkly. He was referring both to Kenshin's studied look of calm, as much as his friend's reference to the sake. "Want to talk?" he asked abruptly. He was no good at this man to man talk, but he would give it a shot.

"Not really," Kenshin said, gazing up at the blue sky. He felt depression and self-loathing crushing him and knew he had brought this upon himself. He was not good enough for her and now he knew it. He would hurt her if she unleashed Battousai's full darkness-and she would never be the same.

"How is it going with Kaoru?" Sanosuke tried again. Kenshin had to talk! It wasn't good bottling all those emotions up. He didn't have the luxury of going to find some bad guy to beat up. Kenshin didn't do that sort of thing. He hurt no one unless provoked to protect someone he cared for, or something he believed in.

"What do you mean?" Kenshin said warily. Sanosuke wasn't actually asking that, was he? He had better not be asking that! A hint of gold flashed in his eyes.

"You know," Sanosuke nudged Kenshin. "The seduction!" he whispered theatrically.

The reaction was instantaneous. "That's none of your business, Sagara Sanosuke!" Battousai blazed, eyes changing into a violent gold.

"Right! Right," the other man said, breaking into a light sweat. Well, so much for a man to man talk! "Are you going to marry her?" he asked after a long moment.

Battousai turned his head and gave Sanosuke a flat unfriendly stare. "That, is none of your business either," he said icily.

"Well, yeah...sort of," Sanosuke said, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. "It's just that I care about Missy and I...you know," he finished, not wanting to bring up the seduction thing again because Kenshin was still all Battousai.

"I know that you care about her,” Battousai said quietly, calming. Sanosuke meant well-he just wasn't very good at being subtle. His eyes returned to calm violet as he considered whether Sanosuke should know before Kaoru. Perhaps he-

"Because, you know, if you aren't planning on marrying her, then I'll have to beat the hell out of you," the taller man said calmly, cracking his knuckles. If Kenshin wasn't going to do the right thing by his little 'sister', then as much as getting the hell beat out of him by Battousai would hurt, he'd have to at least try and teach the man a lesson! Right? He winced.

"You would?" Kenshin's eyes became an amused violet and he smiled.

"Yeah, she's like a sister to me and you can't just go around seducing anyone without commitment," Sanosuke winced again. "Did I really just say that?" he groaned. "Let me rephrase that for ya, Kenshin. Any guy can go around seducing any woman he likes, 'cause we know what they're all good for! But Kaoru isn't just anyone."

"No she isn't," Kenshin murmured, still smiling. A brow rose then, as he recalled the rest of Sano's words. "And what is a woman only good for exactly?"

"Women are only good for two things,” Sanosuke said positively. "Food and fu-"

"Sanosuke!" Kenshin's eyes hardened, violet showing a hint of gold. "This is Miss Kaoru you are speaking of. You should be more respectful, that you should," he went on, tone milder. He gazed out over the yard, ignoring Sanosuke's raised brows.

"Right," Sanosuke said, grabbing the sake and pouring himself some more. "Well, I did say women in general. Kaoru's special."

"Yes, she is," Kenshin sighed. "I have thought about it and I believed that I had decided...but Kaoru is too good for me," he went on sadly.

Sanosuke slapped Kenshin over the back of the head. "You idiot!" he exploded.

"Sanosuke," Kenshin began, feeling annoyed.

"No! I'm sick of this holier than thou crap! You're not the same person you were."

"Are you so certain? I've been pursuing Kaoru with a single-minded determination that only comes from Battousai."

"You think you might hurt her?" Sanosuke asked seriously.

"Maybe," he sighed. "I have lost control so often lately and I could end up hurting her mentally and physically."

"Idiot," Sanosuke said fondly. "You could never hurt her."

"Are you so certain?" Kenshin murmured again, staring into space.

"The real question is, Kenshin-do you want to see Kaoru with another man? She's not going to wait for you forever," Sano responded, frowning at his friend. Was the man that dense? He went all-out to seduce a girl and then he backed down? Well, it was his duty to lay it out for Kenshin.

"Another man?" Kenshin's eyes blazed a wrathful gold at the thought of another touching what was his.

"That's right," The taller man inched away from Battousai nervously. With that sort of reaction, he was pretty damn sure what Kenshin's answer was!

"I will kill anyone who so much as lays a finger on Kaoru in an inappropriate manner!" he snarled, hand curling around the broom handle. It abruptly cracked under the pressure and he tossed it to the side.

"Yes, but what if she wanted to get married to another guy? You can't kill someone she wants to spend her life with," Sanosuke said slyly, staring down at the broken halves of the broom. Kaoru wasn't going to be happy to have to fork out the money for another, but Sano was pleased at it wasn't him that Battousai had turned his fury on for suggesting such a thing as Missy married to another guy! "Make up your mind, Kenshin-before she does," Sano went on gently, laying a comradely hand on the man's shoulder.

Battousai glanced sideways and then sighed. Sano was right. He would have to make up his mind and soon-but how to decide on such a thing when he wasn't in control of his own passions, was near-impossible! He might hurt her. Unknowingly, but still...he could not control himself. "Are you so sure?" he repeated softly.

It had taken hours of hard training, until she was covered in sweat and her mind was dulling. Poor Yahiko hadn't been able to keep up with her, utterly bewildered by whatever was driving her. She had sent him away a half hour before and he had gladly escaped into the bath.

"I was too hard on him," she mourned, placing the bokken back on the rack and heading out the door. She spotted Kenshin and Sanosuke talking across the yard and hesitated, her blue eyes going to the red-haired man's face.

He looked calm, but she could tell that he was hiding his feelings.

It had taken her hours to calm down and think rationally about what he had done. Only a small cut. A little blood.

She sighed and headed inside, deciding to take the back way into the house so as to avoid them. She entered the kitchen and stared into space for a long moment. Battousai was dark inside and dangerous and she had always known that. It was he rather than Kenshin she was beginning to think of and long for lately. But was she doing right by releasing the part of him he had tried so hard to suppress for ten years?

The lust between them was like a wildfire and he no doubt would show her many things when they at last became one.

She wasn't entirely sure what that meant, but Tae had refused to become more explicit when she talked about being with a man.

Megumi! She needed to see her, and soon.

"I'm not a coward,” Kaoru said fiercely, deciding to get Sano and Kenshin a cold drink. She would face him, not avoid him like a mouse. Kenshin was still Kenshin and he would never hurt her. He just...scared her a little with his intensity.

Grabbing the jug of lemon water she had made and a few cups, she headed outside, coming up behind where the two men were sitting. To her shock, she overheard something she had been fearing Kenshin had been thinking. She paused just inside, frozen.

"Of course I'm certain, you bone-head! You'd never hurt Kaoru in a million years!" Sanosuke's voice came to her clearly, as well as Battousai's soft, pensive response.

"She is too good for me and we both know it," Battousai replied, an eternal sadness in his voice.

Kaoru's hand tightened on the jug of water. Luckily, neither Kenshin nor Sanosuke had sensed her presence behind them.

Not good enough for her? He still thought that, after all they'd done?

Kaoru's blue eyes narrowed.

Kenshin obviously cared for her deeply, which was more than apparent from his recent seduction of her...but he had also, just as obviously been scared by himself after their encounter in the bathroom and then the kitchen.

He needed a little prompting, that was all. And she knew just the thing to prove that he would never hurt her.

"Prepare to meet your match, Kenshin," she whispered, retreating the way she had come.

Kenshin's head turned sharply as he abruptly sensed Kaoru's retreating ki, his purple eyes widening in startlement. How long had she been there? "Damn!" he swore softly, realizing.

"What?" Sano said, seeing how tense Kenshin was.

"Miss Kaoru was listening," Rurouni replied, eyes a strange mixture of gold and purple. He knew his Kaoru well enough, to know that she would have taken anything she overheard as a challenge.

"And you didn't sense her?" The larger man said in astonishment.

"I was occupied, as you very well know, Sanosuke," Kenshin said acidly, eyes narrowing. "I wonder how much of our conversation she heard."

"Does it matter?" Sano said diplomatically. There was no use crying over spilt sake, was there? What was done, was done. He grinned. "Hey, that was really poetic," he congratulated himself, forgetting his companion for the moment. Maybe he could try that line out of Megumi, all casual-like?

"Of course it does!" Amber flashed briefly in Kenshin's eyes, his fists clenched as he recalled what they had been saying. Kaoru would now know that he thought she was too good for him. Would that make things even worse or better for them?

He loved her and deeply, but he knew his hands were much too bloodstained to marry her.

Weren't they?

He had thought to ask her soon, but after the incident in the bathroom where he had fairly ravished her and then in the kitchen when he had cut her in the height of passion, he wasn't so sure.

Battousai wanted her.

Kenshin wanted her.

Even Rurouni wanted her.

But would they ever be able to have anything more than physical pleasure? Could they even have that?

"Whoa! Calm down, Kenshin!" Sanosuke said, holding his hands out. The red-haired man was cracking with energy, his eyes suddenly turning a blazing golden. Whatever he was thinking, it wasn't good!

Battousai's nails dug into the flesh of his hands, drawing blood. He could not have her! No! "Damn it!" he snarled, leaning forward, hair obscuring his face from Sanosuke. He had stopped when she had asked...but to say if she were a man, she would be dead? He had not meant it, but did she know that? After all, he had picked up a knife and cut her to taste her blood.

Could he ever be sure of himself?
