Part 2
Kenshin stood just inside Kaoru's room, shifting his weight from foot to foot nervously. The others had departed nearly ten minutes before, but it had taken him this long to work up the courage to enter her room. Kaoru was oblivious to his presence, writhing about on her futon, now totally nude. Her moans had changed to sharp cries, which continued to build as she fought with the chemical reactions happening within her body. Each noise she made seemed to stab right through Kenshin. He felt totally helpless before her pain. He would willingly fight any kind of monster to protect her, but what she needed of him now was almost too much for him. I can't do this! his mind cried, panicked. His body disagreed with him heartily, his manhood almost painful in its eagerness to do its duty. He stood, shaking visibly, trying to calm himself. Kaoru seemed to suddenly become aware of him. "Kenshin?" She turned a blurry gaze towards him, and reached out one hand, pathetically. "Kenshin, it hurts!" Kenshin found his feet moving towards her with a will of their own. He knelt by her side, taking her hand gently. "I know, Kaoru-dono. I'm here to make it better." He knew he was going to have to release some of the pressure she was feeling quickly. Blushing as red as his hair, he moved to touch her body, trailing down from her chest towards her legs. The desperate cry she gave in reaction to his touch told him that he didn't have time for even the most basic of preliminaries. His hand slid to cup the apex of her thighs, feeling the warm moisture emanating from within her body. She squirmed, rubbing herself against his hand, silently asking him to press harder. He obliged, feeling her sweet fluids coat his fingertips as he moved them deeper within her. He slid the tip of one finger inside her, and she screamed, thrusting her hips upward to impale herself on his hand. Now certain that he was doing the right thing, he began to move his finger within her. Sobbing, she rocked back and forth, setting up a rhythmic motion against his hand. "More," she begged him, her hands clutching at his kimono. "Please!" He inserted another finger, feeling her tight passage stretch to accommodate him. Impossibly, his own body hardened further at the sensation, and he bit his lip to keep control. Slowly, he sped up the pace of his fingers, eventually adding a third and even a fourth. At that point, Kaoru screamed and arched her back, convulsing. Kenshin was afraid she'd break something, so tightly wound was her body. Finally, she collapsed back onto the futon, panting furiously. Kenshin withdrew his hand from within her, and simply sat there, blushing. Kaoru caught her breath, and turned to look at him, wonder in her eyes. "Kenshin," she whispered. He turned his face away from her, unable to meet her eyes. "Gomen nasai, Kaoru-dono!" He cried, his figure a perfect picture of misery. "I have to do this, for your sake!" She reached out a hand to touch his flaming cheek, turning him back to her. "Iie, Kenshin. Don't apologize. I don't understand what's happening to me, but that..." she trailed off, stars in her eyes. Smiling at him, she continued. "That was the most incredible thing I've ever felt in my life!" "It's not over yet, Kaoru-dono," he stated gravely, staring down at her beautiful face. "That was only the beginning. And I likely won't be able to help you with such simple things..." She nodded, her own face uncommonly serious. "Hai. I can already feel it coming back. But, Kenshin," she gazed up at him, her face utterly trusting, her love for him shining through like a bright beacon. "I trust you, Kenshin. Whatever happens, I trust you to take care of me." Tears welled up in the rurouni's eyes at this statement. Kenshin, ever bewildered by Kaoru's feelings for an ex-assassin like himself, felt as if his heart would stop beating with the love he felt for her. Leaning over her, his face less than an inch from hers, he closed his eyes. "Kaoru-dono... I... I..." Opening his violet eyes to meet her steady gaze, he blurted out, "I love you!" She smiled at him. "I know, Kenshin. I love you too." She raised her face to meet his, their lips brushing gently. For a few moments they teased each other and themselves, not allowing the full pressure that both wanted. Finally, Kenshin pressed his lips firmly against hers, giving them what they had both dreamed of for so long. Acting on instinct, Kaoru opened her mouth, inviting him in. Kenshin didn't hesitate, his tongue pursuing hers with all the force of the months of pent-up frustration within him. Kaoru responded by fiercely battling his tongue with her own, no less eager than he to take advantage of this excuse fate had handed them. As their tongues dueled, Kenshin allowed his hands to trail down to her chest, brushing lightly over her breasts. She moaned, and arched her back, inviting him to further explorations. He circled her breasts without actually touching them for several moments, causing her to moan in frustration and anticipation. Her own hands were busy at his obi, untying the sash and allowing his top to hang loose. Kenshin shrugged his shoulders, causing the material to slide down his arms. Kaoru let her hands roam over his warm skin, feeling out every inch of the silky flesh and the iron hard muscles beneath. Her fingers found his tiny, flat male nipples, and he gasped as she brushed them. Grinning at this discovery, she began to play with them, teasing him until he began to writhe above her. In retaliation, Kenshin slid his lips down to cover one of her breasts, his hand toying with the other. She moaned and arched her back, pleasure seeming to flow directly from her breasts to the junction of her thighs. She could feel the pressure building within her again, quickly this time, spurred on by the pleasure she felt from Kenshin's touch. He sucked at her nipple, running his tongue around the rigid bud. She cried out, her hands dipping lower on his body, reaching for the pulsing warmth she could feel between his thighs. This time, he allowed her to undo the tie of his hakama, and he quickly shed the last of his clothing. Moving to cover her body with his own, Kenshin allowed himself a moment to revel in the sensations he was experiencing. The feel of her soft warm flesh against his own was driving him crazy with the need to possess her completely, but he held himself back with an act of sheer will. She arched beneath him, sliding her body along the length of his. Her moans began to take on a desperate quality. "Kenshin... oh, gods... it's happening again..." He kissed her gently as he positioned himself to enter her. "Kaoru-dono, this will hurt a little at first." She smiled up at him. "I know, Kenshin. I'm not afraid." He probed at the entrance to her wet heat, sliding in slowly. She was tight and warm around him, her passage stretching to admit him. He moved forward until he encountered her barrier, then halted. Taking a deep breath, he gazed deeply into her eyes with his own. "Kaoru-dono, I love you!" He cried as he thrust forward. Her sharp gasp and the tears in the corner of her eyes told him that she had felt the pain of that moment, but her smile and the tender love in her gaze never wavered. Finally she sighed, and relaxed around him, adjusting to his length within her. "Kenshin," she sighed, her eyes dreamy. Her arms encircled him, pulling him tighter to her. He flashed her a brilliant smile, then began to move slowly within her. He kept the pace gruelingly slow, despite her instinctive attempts to speed things up. Sliding out of her to the very tip, he would pause, then slide back in until he was fully buried in her depths. The friction created by these movements drove them both crazy, until finally, Kenshin's iron will snapped and he began to plunge in and out of her at a frantic speed. Kaoru's moans and cries rose in intensity as Kenshin drove her towards a peak, the heat within her coiling and tightening until she feared her whole body would snap. Kenshin felt her tensing beneath him, and forced himself to slow down, drawing out the moment as long as possible. The sensations within him were building up as well, and he knew he wouldn't be able to hold himself back much longer. Just when he thought he would surely explode and leave her unsatisfied, she cried out sharply and shuddered beneath him. Her internal muscles convulsed around his length, and the feeling shoved him over the edge with her. His body spasmed, his hot seed shooting deep into her body. When the convulsions had passed, Kenshin collapsed limply on top of her, his shaking arms unable to support his weight. She held him tightly to her, her ragged breathing matching his own. "Kenshin," she whispered softly. "Hai, Kaoru-dono?" He managed, almost too tired to speak. "That was incredible. Arigatou. I couldn't have asked for a better first lover." She smiled brightly at him, tears of pure joy shining in her beautiful eyes. Kenshin was almost moved to tears himself. "Kaoru-dono, I love you. I'm so glad I was able to make you happy." She swatted him playfully. "Baka. Could you at LEAST stop calling me 'dono' NOW?" Hesitantly, he nodded. "Hai... Kaoru." Kaoru felt that his tender smile made up for every moment of pain she had ever suffered over him. Kenshin summoned the strength to roll over, bringing Kaoru with him so that she was cushioned against his chest. For long moments, they lay quietly, enjoying the afterglow of their trip to the stars. Kaoru could feel the tingling pressure beginning to build within her once again, but she determinedly ignored it, wanting to spend time simply loving Kenshin. Though she tried her best to suppress her rising needs, it wasn't long before Kaoru couldn't hold back any longer, and she squirmed against him, moaning. Kenshin glanced down at her in concern, a frown creasing his features when he realized how quickly the pressure built up within her. Kenshin knew he wasn't up to another round just yet. He shifted to face her, wondering what he could do to keep her from hurting until his own body recovered. He thought back to all the dirty stories he had ever overheard, dismissing most as absolutely unsuitable, and finally settled on a course of action. Kissing and caressing her, Kenshin let the passion build slowly within her body, gently discouraging her attempts to return his affections. "Iie, Kaoru, this is just for you. I need to draw this out, so that I can keep taking care of you until this powder wears off." She acquiesced, and lay quietly beneath him, letting the pleasure he created within her flow all through her body. Her nerves were still throbbing from the last two orgasms he had created within her, and she felt as if she were flying through the stars with the pleasure he was giving her now. Kenshin let his lips trail over the path his fingers had taken previously. He kissed every inch of her available skin, drinking in the sweet taste of her. His mouth drifted down until it reached the apex of her thighs, and the sweet honey waiting for him there. His tongue gently lapped at her entrance, and she squirmed from the sensations he created. His lips brushed lightly over her clit, and her sharp gasp told him he should focus his attentions there. He began to lick and nip at her, letting the sensations build within her, then transferring his attentions to a less sensitive spot until she had calmed down a bit. Then he would return to her clit, slowly driving her insane with his teasing caress. Finally, she couldn't stand it any more, and begged him to release her. Unable to keep from feeling a bit of male pride at the ragged note in her voice, he thrust three fingers deep inside her while licking hard at her clit. The sudden pressure within sent her soaring over the edge, and she cried out, shuddering, internal muscles clenching at his fingers. Exhausted, she fell limply to the futon, and Kenshin moved up to cradle her once more. As she drifted off to sleep in his arms, he prayed that he would be able to keep up this frantic pace in order to satisfy her.
They continued this way for the rest of the afternoon, through the long night, and well into the morning before the effects of the powder finally diminished. Kenshin alternated his methods of satisfying her in order to give his own body a rest now and then. After those first few exhilarating experiences, Kaoru was hardly aware of what was happening to her. Though her body was utterly exhausted and she quickly dropped off to sleep between bouts, she was unable to resist the driving needs created by the medicine for long. By the time the effects finally abated enough to allow her to rest, she could only collapse into a deep sleep. Kenshin made no attempt to resist his body's desire to follow her into oblivion, and they drifted off, wrapped in each other's arms.
Kaoru awoke slowly, opening her eyes to see the late afternoon sun streaming in through the window to her room. For a moment, she was confused, believing she had overslept. Then memory returned, and her eyes widened as she recalled the events of the previous day and night. Her cheeks flaming, she curled up in a ball, unable to believe her own actions. Suddenly, she sat bolt upright, frantically looking about the room. "Kenshin!" she cried, but there was no answer. He awakened before her and crept quietly out of the room, leaving her to her own peaceful sleep. Terrified that he had left her forever, knowing that he would be unreasonably ashamed of his actions, she bolted out the door of her room, barely keeping the presence of mind to through on a robe to cover her nakedness. She burst into the main room to find Sano, Megumi, Genzai-sensei, Yahiko, and the two little girls gathered together, talking anxiously. "Jo-chan!" Sano exclaimed, rising to give her a crushing hug. "Are you okay? We've all been so worried!" Kaoru was hardly aware of his presence, her only concern finding Kenshin. Seeing that he was nowhere around, she gripped Sano's gi tightly, turning her attention to him. "Where's Kenshin?" she demanded, frantic to find him before he disappeared forever. "I'm here, Kaoru," came the calm answer, and she whirled about to see him standing in the doorway. She flew into his welcoming arms, her still unstable emotions causing her to sob into his shoulder. "Kenshin! I thought you'd gone away again..." He cradled her to him, and gently reassured her. "Iie, Kaoru. Never again. I'll never leave you again, I swear it." The others could only gape as he lifted her chin with a tender finger and dropped a light kiss on her waiting lips. The action was so very unlike the shy, demure rurouni they knew, that they knew something incredible had taken place the night before. Kenshin pulled away slightly, gazing deep into her eyes. "Kaoru. Please, will you do me the honour of becoming this unworthy one's wife?" Kaoru gasped, unable to believe her ears. She had dreamed of this moment for over a year, since first meeting and falling in love with the gentle swordsman. "H-hai," she stammered, the tears streaming down her face now ones of pure joy. As the two lovers embraced, oblivious to the presence of the others, Megumi got a calculating look in her eyes. "Hmm, wonder if a little of that powder might improve my love life..." Fox ears appeared on her head as she shot a sly gaze at Sanosuke. Luckily, he missed the comment, gazing happily at the couple in the doorway. Genzai-sensei shook his finger at the lady doctor. "How can you even think such a thing? That powder is dangerous. I've disposed of it properly, so that no one will ever again have to go through such an ordeal." Megumi nodded, fox ears gone. "Of course, sensei. I wasn't serious. It's lucky for Kaoru that we were able to figure out what happened in time." Kenshin glanced at them over Kaoru's head. "Genzai-sensei, I suggest you tell your doctor friend to dispose of any other powder he has, and to destroy the recipe." Genzai nodded. "I've already sent a letter to him." Kaoru sighed in contentment. "Personally, I'm grateful to it." She grinned at Kenshin wickedly. "Though, I do hope you'll be able to live up to your first performance." As Kenshin turned deep red and began to sputter, and the others laughed in amazement, Kaoru simply smiled. Maybe she'd have to get sick more often.
