Kaoru, a Water fae, is a child bride to Kenshin, a Fire fae. Their clans have been at war for generations. Now they gather together to fight a common enemy. Can these two get along? After years apart they meet again, Kenshin, battle harden Lord, Kaoru now a lovely Lady. They struggle with their different natures. But it's obvious that when Water and Fire meet, there will be steam.

Kaoru is a geisha in a war torn city. She is taken by a red-headed samurai and is forced to become his slave. Does this pretty geisha have what it takes to stand up to the demon she loves? Will Kenshin be able to keep his distance? AU KK
