Amber Enchantment
A/N- Presto, update-o!
Last chapter…
"Oooh no…" she whispered softly.
"Why, if it isn't Kaoru? Not trying to escape were you? Heh. I suppose you'll need punishing" Battousai smirked dauntingly.
Chapter 5: Drunk on something.
A look of pure terror shimmered in Kaoru's eyes as he advanced at her. The words 'she will be punished' echoing through her mind.
In the blink of an eye Kaoru was pinned to a near by wall, the Battousai grinning lasciviously.
"What's wrong little kitten? I did warn you that there would be punishment if you tried to escape again." He said, a glint of danger flashing through his amber gaze.
"Please, don't hurt me…" Kaoru winced closing her eyes tightly.
"Who said your punishment would hurt?" he whispered softly, his warm breath tickling her sensitive ear as he began to nibble on it lightly.
Kaoru gasped and made to pull away, but found she couldn't as the word 'don't move' pushed it's way into her mind.
"Damn it" she cursed bellow her breath as she was forced to obey the command.
Battousai chuckled as he continued his ministrations; placing feather light kisses along the length of her neck.
"Don't tell me that you forgot my power over you so soon, my kitten." He said lustfully as cupped her cheek, and let his other hand pull the tie from her hair, causing it to fall from it's high pony tail, and cascade around her.
Kaoru was breathless as his lips inched toward her own. He said for her not to move, but he never said she couldn't scream bloody murder.
Battousai smirked. 'And still she does not realize, that her mind belongs to me.' He thought to himself as he picked up on her little idea to scream, and quickly closed the distance between her lips and his own.
Kaoru's scream never had a chance as the Battousai kissed her deeply.
"Mmmm" Kaoru murmured enjoying the kiss.
'Wait! No' Kaoru scolded herself. She was absolutely NOT enjoying this kiss.
Battousai smirked inwardly at her thoughts, and then proceeded to wrap his arms around her lithe waist, pulling her closer, and deepening the kiss further more.
Kaoru felt drunk. She couldn't make sense of even one coherent thought that tried to squeeze it's way into her mind. And soon she found herself responding to the kiss, as her eyes took on a glossy appearance.
And then… there was a knock on the door, which jolted Kaoru enough to bring her back to her sense.
"God damn.." Battousai muttered as he released her from his grasp and went to answer the door.
Kaoru blushed and touched two fingers to her lips. 'Wait…' Kaoru thought as she looked at her fingers.
She could move again! But, how long had she been able to? Kaoru pondered this.
"Since right around the part where you went 'Mmmm'" Battousai answered her question, smiling at her.
Kaoru's face turned red as a strawberry. "I only did that because I couldn't breathe. I was trying to signal to you to stop!" she huffed, crossing her arms and looking the floor.
Battousai licked his lips, savoring her taste. "Sure you were… Now come on." He said as he began to walk to the door.
"Come on where?" She asked, not moving from her spot.
Battousai turned back to her and sighed in irritation. 'She's not going to make anything easy for me, is she?' he asked himself, shaking his head.
"To the dining hall." He replied, and offered her his hand.
Kaoru huffed and shook her head. "I'm not really all that hungry." She replied defiantly.
"And that persisting grumbling sound protruding from your stomach is what…?" he asked, smirking at how she blushed in embarrassment.
"Now, I'm trying to be nice, and let you come of your own free will, but if persist on refusing, I will simply have no choice but to carry you there." Battousai stated in a 'matter of fact' tone.
"The Prince of demon's, resorting to such measures as low as carrying a human. Haha, what a bluff." Kaoru laughed.
"Put me the hell down!" Kaoru yelled as she beat as hard as she could on Battousai's back.
"You know, for a princess, you really do have a foul mouth." He commented as he walked on, completely un-phased by her pounding fists on his back.
"And for a prince, you're a real jerk off!" she retorted angrily as she began trying to pull his shirt up, and over his head so he couldn't see.
"Eep!" Kaoru gasped as Battousai abruptly stopped, and set her on her feet.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace, leaning close to her ear. "If you wanted my cloths off, all you had to do was tell me…" he chuckled, enjoying how she froze, and her face turned several brilliant shades of red.
"That's what I thought." He said as he intertwined his finger with hers', and began leading them down the hall again.
'Of all the nerve!' Kaoru fumed to herself, following him. 'Seriously, who does he think he is? I mean, my god, he's so immodest. A complete hentai!' she thought angrily.
"Only towards the beautiful girls" Battousai said as they turned a corner.
Kaoru slapped her forehead in agitation. Him being able to read her mind was really getting annoying.
"And here we are."
A soft knock sounded on the beautiful oaks doors as King Kamiya sat quietly in his chair, rubbing his temple.
"Who is it?" he asked idly.
"Misao, your majesty." Was the response he got.
"The door's open Misao, come on in." He said in a tired voice.
Opening the door, and then quietly shutting it, Misao walked over to the broken looking man, and kneeled before him.
"Misao, Misao, how many times do I have to tell you? You're Okina's grand daughter, and Okina's like family, so you are too; there is no need for such mannerisms.
Misao stood, and then sat down next to him. "How are things going?" she asked in an anxious tones.
"Not so well I'm afraid…" the king said tiredly. "I just don't know why this has to be! Kaoru, my daughter, my only living blood, my precious little girl… Where could she be?" he asked pounding his fist on the table that lay in front of him.
"Don't worry sire, we'll find her eventually. I'm sure she's ok." She said, laying a hand reassuringly on his shoulder.
"I hope so Misao, I truly hope so…" he replied sadly.
Misao turned her head and gazed through the window, she could see nearly the whole kingdom form this spot.
'Let's hope she's alright…'
Kaoru giggled as she fell in Sanosuke's lap. "Swo then I's tell 'er, whatchoo doin', swimming in that marsh? Hahahahahaahaha!" She laughed hard, her face turning red.
"Hey, that's a good one!" Sanosuke replied merrily as he took another swig from the sake bottle.
Battousai had to leave dinner early to take care of some important matters, and while he was gone, Sanosuke had the great idea to get Kaoru stone drunk.
"Heehee!" Kaoru chortled as she pulled her self out of Sanosuke's lap and crawled up onto the table.
"Dis wun time, I's met this bwelly dancer. And, she did shwow me how to dance, like dis!" Kaoru slurred as she clasped her hands above her head, and began to swing her hips in a spherical motion.
"Now I think that has been quite enough for one night." Aoshi said, glaring daggers at Sanosuke as he grabbed hold of Kaoru and lifted her off of the table.
"Oooh! Aoshi-sama!" Kaoru giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Please Ms.Kamiya, desist in the actions, and un-latch yourself from me." He said calmly.
"Um… Nope!" She giggle and clung to him tighter.
Aoshi sighed. Damn Sanosuke to hell for getting her drunk.
"You know what I'ma thinkn' you need?" Koaru asked joyfully. "What would that be?" Aoshi asked with a tinge if curiousity.
"This!" Kaoru replied, kissing him deeply on the lips just as Battousai walked back in the room.
"What is going on here…?" he asked coldly, bits of red flickering dangerously in his eyes.
"Ooooh! Battou Koishi!" she giggled in delight, as she let go of Aoshi and threw herself at the Kenshin.
"Heehee, I bet you wanna kiss too, don't cha?" she laugh mirthfully hugging him tight. Kenshin looked up, raising an eye-brow at the occupants of the dinner table.
Aoshi sighed in annoyance, and pointed to Sanosuke. "He got her drunk while you were gone."
Sanosuke, also being drunk, was sitting at the end of the table, busy pouring sake all over himself.
Kenshin shook his head, and looked down at Koaru, who by now, was fast asleep, still clinging to his Gi.
"Aoshi, please make sure some one cleans up this mess." He said, eyeing the disaster that was once his dining hall. Then turning, to pulled Kaoru into his arms bridal style, and left.
Laying Kaoru gently down in her bed, he pulled the covers up, over her and smiled. Today had truly turned out to be quite intriguing.
Kenshin wasn't jealous of Kaoru kissing Aoshi or anything. It was like that kiss was even close to the degree that he'd had with Kaoru already.
Running his hand through her soft hair, Kenshin smirked and stood up to leave.
"Soon little Kaoru, you will be mine…"
A/N- Hee 3. Good news! You see, one of the reasons I didn't update for so long, is that I completely had no idea what I was gonna do with the story from that point on x..X. But as I was writing this chapter today, I figured out what I'm going to do with the rest of the story, kinda… Hope you liked this chappy! (btw – Don't worry about Misao showing up in the Demon's area, and the kingdom Kaoru's from. It's part of the story)
CCCC is appreciated! .
