Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ Turning Point ❯ New Kenshin ( Chapter 6 )

Hey all! Thanks for the reviews . Also, it looks like I spelt the fighting style Kenshin uses wrong, so if you know how to spell it could you tell me. Thank you!!

I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.

Without further ado… the next chapter:

New Kenshin

Two weeks have passed, and Kenshin has healed at a rapid rate. I watched his color return over the days, but now something entirely different was worrying me.

He spent about 98% of those two weeks asleep, but when was awake he was not himself. His eyes were golden, and when he was drinking the tea I brewed he would peer over the rim at me. Once he finished drinking he would lick his lips clean causing me to unconsciously lick mine. He would smirk and then lay back down to sleep.

It was unnerving. Could it be his injury that caused this sudden change? Could it be something else?

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Today Megumi came by to remove Kenshin's stitches, "Kaoru, I'm finished. He has made a full recovery, but still brew the remainder of the tea for him. He'll be in a little pain for the next few days, but after that he should be fine," She began to walk away, but stopped, "He's awake… Kaoru, what happened to him?" She turned around to look at me.

I froze. I'm not even sure what happened to him. His eyes changed that day. When I was in danger. Did I cause this?

"Kaoru?" Megumi sounded a little worried.

"He… he saved me," I turned away from her. I don't want to talk about this. I just want to forget.

"I see… well just do what I told you and you won't have to worry anymore," Megumi left.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

I stood in the doorway of Kenshin's room for a while just looking at his back.

Finally one of us spoke, "Kaoru I know you're there,"

I stepped forward, "What's wrong Kenshin? Why are your eyes still gold?" The questions slipped for my lips before I could stop myself.

He turned to look at me with those amber eyes, "I killed a man. I broke my vow," His eyes flashed.

I looked down, "It's my fault isn't it?"

"No, I made a choice. I could have just knocked him out, but I killed him instead," Kenshin stood and walked to me.

I couldn't contain myself any longer. I ran into his arms, "You suffered so much though. You have repented for your sins Kenshin," Tears fell from my eyes.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Repented for my sins? No, a man killer is a man killer until the day he dies. I can no longer stay here. I can't harm them. Once my Battousai half takes over my train of thought then I won't be able to stop myself. I've tasted the rush of killing again. How long will I be able to hold it back? How long until I kill again?

Soon, soon. Kill soon.

No! No! I won't let you take over! I cannot leave Miss Kaoru in your company!

You are too weak. You need to train. Train and I'll let you alone.

Alright. I'll train. I'll become as strong as I once was. I'll become the man I once was. The Battousai.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

I watched the internal struggle Kenshin was having in his eyes. They would deepen in color, then fade, but in the end they were still amber.

Without warning he pushed me away. I stumbled backwards, and fell onto his futon, "Kenshin!"

He was walking out the door, "Do not bother me. I need to train,"

His voice was flat. He has given in to the Battousai in him. I watched him walk out the door. I curled into his bed. His scent filled my thoughts. Why? Kenshin why are you doing this to yourself? My tears dampened his pillow as I slowly cried to myself.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

"Sano, hey Sano!" Yahiko ran up to me.

"What kid?"

"Don't call me kid!"

"Well, what do you want?"

"It's Kenshin,"

"What, what's wrong?" I dropped the chop sticks I was holding.

"It's just that I was training outside, and he came outside. He walked right by me, and didn't say anything. I asked him where he was going, and he told me he was going to train. Kenshin never trains. Why is he training?" Yahiko asked with a worried expression on his face.

"He is probably just tired of laying down," I answered.

"But Sano, there's something else too. His eyes were gold,"

This information reminded me of when I saw Kenshin slicing that tree in half, "Look if you want I can go talk to him,"

"Yeah, but can I come?"

"Sure. Just stay out of the way,"

We walked outside and looked around. In the distance I saw Kenshin training on a green hill with a solitary tree on it. We approached him.

"Kenshin, what are you doing? You just healed you should be careful," I asked once I was in hearing range.

"I'm fine," He sliced through the air with precision. His sword was no longer a reversed blade.

"Yahiko is worried about you,"

"Don't be," Kenshin tossed his sword into the air and as it fell he sheathed it. He turned to us, "Could you leave me alone. I need to train in peace,"

"Why do you need to train?" I saw that his eyes were indeed gold.

"I have to become stronger,"

"But why Kenshin?" Yahiko couldn't hold his tongue.

Kenshin looked at Yahiko, but didn't answer his question, "Leave, or you may see some things you are not prepared to see,"

"I'm not leaving without you!" Yahiko yelled.

"Alright then," Kenshin turned away.

"No Yahiko we should leave him be," I spoke up.

"Why Sano?"

"Kenshin wants to be alone," I watched as he unsheathed his sword with the Hitin Mitsurougi style. Then he disappeared.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

They are not leaving. I'll show them why they should listen to my warnings.

I unsheathed my sword, and sliced the tree down. It fell in the direction of Sano and Yahiko.

They will have to be scared away.

Sano grabbed Yahiko and jumped to safety as the tree felt to the ground and landed were they were once standing.

"What are you thinking Kenshin!!" Sano yelled.

That's right get angry, "training,"

"No, you almost killed us!" Sano set Yahiko down.

"You got in the way. I told you to leave,"

"What are you playing at Kenshin?" Sano's face was red with anger.

- - - - - - - - - - -

I can't believe Kenshin would do something like that. Why on earth? It doesn't make sense. Ever since that day he has been acting strange, but that day he tried to hold it back a little, and now he is accepting it; he is becoming it. The Battousai.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Get angry. Fight me, fight me. I need to train more, "What are you going to do about it?"

"Pound your face in!" He started running at me. I know I'm strong enough to beat him.

He swung at me, but I dogged him easily.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

I punched at him, trying to knock some sense into his head, but he disappeared again. Suddenly, I'm kicked to the ground.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

"You are no match for me. You will get killed," No I won't kill him yet. He can still be useful to me.

"That's what you think. I've been training," He swung at me again, but like I knew he missed.

Now is the perfect time to hone my skills. He will try to kick me. I ducked, and knocked him on the ground, "and a lot it has done," I smiled down at him.

He will try to knock me down. He swung his leg out, but I was already gone.

He will get up, and then try to punch me. When it doesn't work he will try to hit me with a branch from the tree. That's when I'll end this fight.

Just as I knew, all that I predicted came to pass. I unsheathed my sword and sliced the branch in half, just grazing his fingertips.

Sano dropped the useless twig, and looked at me. His hands were shaking.

I raised my head a notch, then sheathed my sword, "You will never be able to beat me when I'm in this form,"

"You're not Kenshin are you? You use the Hitin Mitsurougi style, but it is different. You use it without fear of killing. You are the Battousai,"

I smiled at him, "The legendary manslayer, yes, I am he,"

"Why have you changed back to this form?"

"I killed a man. I broke the vow made by the wanderer,"

"You what? When did you kill someone?"

"Kaoru was kidnapped by a man who wanted me to return to this state. I fought, and killed this man before he could defile Kaoru's body,"

- - - - - - - - - - - -

I took in the information. The man who kidnapped Kaoru wanted to taint her. He wanted to bring out the Battousai. It looks like he won the battle in the end.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

He is absorbing the information. I know what he will say next. Yahiko he will make a move.

"That man, he won in the end, Kenshin. Why are you letting him win?"

Yahiko threw his boken at me. I drew the sword at my side and sliced it before it could hit its mark. I placed the sword back at my hip.

Yahiko looked at me with astonishment in his eyes, "You can't be!"

"Yahiko!" Sano yelled at him.

"You, I look up to you! Don't become what you worked so hard to put behind you!"

"It's to late Yahiko. The man you once knew is no more," I walked past him, back down to the dojo.

I entered my room and shrugged out of my haori. Kaoru is here. She fell asleep on my bed. She cried herself to sleep.

I set my sword down by my bedside. Once word gets around that the Battousai is back then men will be coming to try their hand to see if the rumors are true.

I lowered myself next to Kaoru's sleeping form. I ran my fingers through her hair. The wanderer never touched her. He felt he was not worthy of a woman as pure as she, but if she is not taken by me, then a worse creature will.

I lowered my lips to hers in a chaste kiss. She began to wake. I lifted my head. Her eyes fluttered open, "Kenshin? Why?"

I didn't let her speak. I covered her with my mouth. She pulled back in surprise, but I didn't let her go. I tilted my head to deepen the kiss, and she gave in to the feelings. I ran my tongue over her lower lip, asking to enter. She complied. Our tongue battled with each other while our hands wandered. Her hands undid my hair, and her fingers entwined in the tresses. I placed a hand behind her head while the other ran over her body.

She pulled away to breath, "Kenshin why are you doing this?"

"So it won't be done by another man," I started to undo her kimono, but she pushed my hands away.

"Wait," I looked her in the eyes.

"What?"

"Why now? Why are you doing this now? You never even looked at me before, and now you are all over me,"

"Oh I looked; I wouldn't have been able to call myself a man if I didn't. I just fought the hunger that rose from it,"

I saw the shock in her eyes, "You hungered for me?"

"Of course Kaoru, and now, I want to drink you up," I lowered my hand to the heart of my desires, and spread her legs.

She moaned at the contact, "But Kenshin?"

I looked back at her, "Yes?"

"Do you love me?"

My movement stopped, "I always have," With that she surrendered to me. She reached up and took her kimono off, and stood in front of me to see all of her glory, "You are beautiful," I pulled her back down onto the bed then rose above her. We kissed again, both of us melting into it. Take her like you want to.

I pushed her legs apart and drove my finger into her. She yelled into my mouth, and arched her back. I pumped in and out of her, and added another finger. My thumb played with her pearl, and she called my name into my mouth. Her hands pulled at the remainder of my clothing. I pulled my fingers out of her, and took my mouth away. She whimpered in frustration, but her eyes widened as I licked my fingers clean from her juices.

I pulled my clothes off and returned to her naked like she was. I brought my head down to her breasts and suckled at one. Kaoru ran her hands down my stomach, and up my sides sending a shiver through me. She felt the shiver and delighted in it. Don't let her have power over you. Before she could do it again I slid down to her petals, and sank into them. She bucked up to meet my mouth as my tongue lapped up her juices. She called my name out to the heavens, and I drank her up.

I crawled back up to her face licking my lips, "You taste so good,"

"Kenshin," She wrapped her arms around my neck, and brought me down to her lips. I caressed them with my own. Then moved to her neck, and up to her ear where I bit her earlobe then sucked on it. During this I massaged her breast, and flicked over her nipples.

She slid her hands down to hold me in the palm of her hands. I moaned into her ear as she ran her fingers over my length. My control broke. I shoved her hands out of the way and sank into her slowly until I met her barrier.

Kaoru looked up into my eyes, "It's alright. I've always wanted you to be the one,"

I spread my lips over hers, and then broke her. She screamed into my mouth, and tears splashed over her lashes. I raised my head to look at her, "Are you ok?"

"Yes; you're so big," a blush bloomed across her features.

I smiled down at her and moaned, "Yes, and you're so tight," I moved inside of her, and she gasped, "If you think that feels good just wait," I kissed away her tears then pulled out of her.

Kaoru looked up at me with confusion. I smirked down at her then pushed back into her. She gasped, and I started a steady rhythm moving in and out of her. She moaned and gasped and whispered my name. Her legs found there way around my hips.

Gods she is so tight. I felt her walls close around my shaft as her legs pulled me deep inside her. She arched her back and yelled my name. She sent me over the edge, and my seed spilled into her.

We both came down from our high, panting. I sagged against her chest, and she ran her fingers through my hair lazily, "I love you Kenshin,"

I moved slightly to look at her, and she moaned. I was still inside her. I smiled, but slid out of her, "I don't want to hurt you. Just once will be enough for now. There will be many more chances after this. You should get some sleep for now," I pulled the blanket up to cover us as Kaoru fit her back to my chest, "Kaoru, I love you too," With that we both drifted to sleep.

"Sano what are we going to do about Kenshin?"

"I'm going to talk to the police chief and see if there have been any deaths by a sword in the past month, and if so what the circumstanced were,"

"Oh, can I come?"

"No Yahiko. You stay out of this. I don't know what the Battousai is capable of, and you could get hurt. Stay out of Kenshin's way,"

"But Sano!"

"No, no buts. Go to bed and stay out of this!"

Yahiko looked at me with an angry expression, but he complied.

I was left with my thoughts, but Kaoru's scream for Kenshin alarmed me. I jumped up. What if someone else came to finish the job the other man couldn't finish. What if she's in danger. I ran to her room, but stopped outside her door. Moans and gasps were emitting from the room. Then Kaoru screamed out in pain, and I almost opened the door, but Kenshin's voice echoed in my head, "Are you ok?"

I listened, "Yes; you're so big," Came Kaoru's response.

Kenshin answered with a moan and, "Yes and you're so tight," At that moment it hit me. Kenshin and Kaoru were…were. Oh gods, "If you think that feels good just wait," I stepped back away from the door my eyes wide with shock. The Battousai is taking Kaoru's innocence. Kenshin could never because he felt unworthy, but the Battousai is without regret. What else will he take from her?

The End!!! Of the chapter. Did I give you a little shocker there? Tee-hee. Well, what did you think? The next chapter is right around the corner. Well, more like a week away, but I'm sure you all can hold out till then.
