“Kenshin?”

Adjusting the drape of the last sheet on the clothesline, the former rurouni turned to find his young wife standing, hands behind her back, one holding a shinai while the other was loosely wrapped around the opposite wrist. Her smile was mischievous as she rocked back and forth on her heels.

“Would you help me? I want to practice a move I’m planning to teach Yahiko.”

Her husband blinked at her a moment, baffled surprise gradually relaxing into knowing anticipation. For all that she was wearing her normal practice clothes, her gi was only partially closed, and her breast bindings were loose. She might want his attention, but she didn’t really plan to work on her kendo at all. I wonder how long it took her to think up that excuse? Not that she needed an excuse to touch him, but Kaoru was still shy about the intimate side of their relationship. It made her hesitant, sometimes clumsy advances all the more endearing.

Even so, he wasn’t going to agree too easily, much as the idea appealed. She already had him wrapped firmly around her finger, and didn’t need any further proof of that fact. Playing the oblivious rurouni to the hilt, he answered. “I’m sorry, Kaoru, but you know I’m not comfortable with those...“ Letting his words trail off he waved at the shinai.

In response, she adopted her most persuasive expression. “Pleeeease? I really can’t do it by myself.” He shook his head, even as he moved to join her at the open door to the dojo. Wrapping her arms around him she continued to wheedle and beg, tugging teasingly at his kimono. When he still didn’t budge, she pouted a bit, and then made the offer he’d been expecting from the moment he’d seen her artfully innocent pose. “Winner can have his way with the loser...?"

He tilted his head consideringly, watching as she nervously nibbled her bottom lip. “Really?” She flushed a bit but nodded, eyes hopeful. “Where’s Yahiko?”

“At the Akabeko. He’s planning to take Tsubame-chan to watch the fireflies tonight.” Dark head bent, Kaoru watched him sidelong through her bangs as she added, “He won’t be back until late.”

He smiled, reaching out to take the shinai from her hand. “All right,” he agreed, ushering her into the dojo and sliding the door closed behind them, “let’s spar.”

Kaoru watched, wondering if Kenshin was thinking of sparring in the same sense she was, as he took up a position in the middle of the room. Biting her lip, she took another shinai from the rack – forgoing her usual bokken -- and joined him. She watched as he inspected his practice blade carefully, running his hand down the length to check for splinters or cracks. Satisfied, he nodded.

“Signal the start,” he told her.

“On three,” she agreed, taking a deep breath. “One, two, three–“

And abruptly she was falling backwards from a gentle shove, his foot catching around her ankle to better position her landing, his fist catching in the front of her gi to insure she hit the floor lightly, albeit in an ungainly sprawl. A second later he moved to stand over her, straddling her feet, the tip of his shinai resting on the floor between her legs.

“I win.” His husky voice was calm and rather smug.

“That... that... that’s not fair!” Kaoru spluttered. “You didn’t use your shinai!”

Kenshin arched an eyebrow, and suddenly Kaoru realized exactly where the blade of his shinai was resting. As her face turned red his smile turned wicked. Lazily, he began to rock the weapon in his hand back and forth. “This shinai?” he teased, brushing her with light but definite pressure as the grip angled toward her, then tapping the tip against the floor and sending vibrations through the springy wood straight to her core.

Caught between shock, pleasure, and embarrassment, Kaoru only tucked her chin, watching both him and the shinai with wide eyes. Back–forward–tap. Back–forward–tap. Surely, they shouldn’t be doing this. Back–forward–tap. Surely, it shouldn’t feel so good. It did explain the glint in his eye and the thorough way he examined his wooden sword before they began – he’d been planning this from the beginning. The weapon in Kenshin’s hand was well cared for, hard and smooth as it rubbed against her through her clothes. Stimulating without satisfying, thrilling her and making her hunger for more. When he gently rotated the blade as it rested against her the sensations spiked higher, better, everything intensifying.

Moaning, Kaoru collapsed flat on her back, arching her hips, pressing herself tighter against the polished bamboo. When the heady wave subsided she gasped for breath, meeting his amber tinged gaze with passion-dark indigo.

“You win,” she agreed.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh don't stop there! Talk about teasing!

It's great, though. You had me sucked in from the first sentence. I hope you write more RK!

I thought about continuing -- even whent so far as to write this:

Discarding the shinai he dropped to his heels, prowled forward to stretch his lean frame over her softer form. Catching her hands in his, he stretched her arms over her head, holding her effectively pinned as he began to ravish her mouth with slow, heated kisses. The enforced submission incited her further, and it wasn’t long before one slender leg found it’s way around his hip, slipping over his thigh to stroke her foot along the inside of his shin.

Releasing her hands, his nimble fingers made quick work of hakama ties and breast bindings, while hers similarly divested him of pants and kimono; discarded clothing making a thin, barely adequate pallet beneath them. Playfulness banished, urgency taking it’s place, they came together.

but my beta and I thought ending it with "you win" was too much fun to pass up. ^^; Sorry! But thanks bunches for the feedback!

Well don't I get to have my cake and eat it too! The cleverness of "I win" AND the extra steamy details! Woo hoo! I love how in the matter of a few paragraphs Kenshin goes from being a complete rurouni to stretching her out on the floor under him. Thanks for sharing ^_^

He's mercurial, what can I say. (^.~)

[niiicko.livejournal.com]

Ah! Loved it! XD

Great job! I wasn't expecting it at all. It was such a fun, giggly, teasing read. Just leaves me wondering what happens next.. ^.^ hee hee

Thank you for sharing!!

[sekiharatae.livejournal.com]

tyvm!

And they scromp like bunnies on the dojo floor of course! (^.~)

[quoth-the-ravyn.livejournal.com]

and WHEE! Yay for RK!!!!!

Also, that was really fun. (Of course, I saw the little comment above on what happens next and you know, I was totally thinking "... and he proceeded to strip her with his teeth." Because my brain is on complete crack.)

*Sighs* Oh, how my RK muses love you. Finding good K/K interaction is so damn hard and you write them so beautifully.

[sekiharatae.livejournal.com]

And that right there is a good reason for me not to write any further: stripping her with his teeth is more fun than anything I would have actually dared write. (^_^)

So glad you liked it, and I hope it made your horrible Monday a bit better. Thanks for the comments!
