Subject: [KFFDisc] [Hentai] Story? Date: 17 Oct 1998 07:18:21 -0000 From: "Marine thug!" Reply-To: kenshinfanfics@egroups.com To: kenshinfanfics@egroups.com Hmmm... I think there is this problem with RK. The roamance scenes are too scarce, and too short! But this sort of adds to the character of Kenshin and Kaoru, as most fics respect that. I like to think of the relationship between Kaoru and Kenshin being blocked by this huge wall. In most fics, Kaoru and kenshin get this fork, and try to break the wall to get to each other on the other side. Other fics skip past five years, to when Kenshin and Kaoru are married. For this story, instead of handing both of them a dinky fork, i give Kaoru a Tank for a while, and she plows right through. I tried my best to make the characters act in their normal self, but i think i sort of failed with Sano... I'm also not that sure about Kaoru, but hey, it's just a fic, and no one's gonna get screwd over if i screw up on this fic, but i might ruin some impressions of RK. But that is the risk of reading fanfiction. Also their if lots of Sexual descriptions here, so don't read unless your like, of legal age... which is in most places, 18-21. Ok, i'm done blabbering. Here it is!(it's had not title yet, send suggestions) Kenshin let out a big sigh. It had been nearly a month since he had taken a bath in Tokyo, and right now seemed like a good time to do so. He picked up his change of clothes, and walked towards the bath house. On his way he curiously looked into Kaoru's room and saw her fast asleep, with no emotion on her face. In fact, she looked sad, or concerned. Kenshin smiled a small faint smile and wondered what she was thinking when he bumped into Megumi. "Oh sorry!" they both said at the same time, and then she asked qizzedly. "Where are you going? You should be walking around that much you know. Your body still needs more time to rest after that ordeal, and¡K" Megumi's worried so much for Kenshin, and Kenshin knew that too. But then, Megumi turned silent . Kenshin had put his hand on her cheek. His expression was happy, yet sad in a way. His blue eyes revealed nothing to her, and his face held a slight smile. He said to her "Thank you, really, you've been of so much help and I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you¡K" Kenshin paused, as if he had said something wrong. "I must go take a bath now, thanks for your concern." He walked away in his slippers, making no sound at all. Megumi didn't turn to look at him go away. She didn't need to. Megumi closed her eyes, and she took a deep breath. She took a step forward, but tears welled up in her eyes. She blinked them away, and took a slow step forward, then increased her pace as she began to come back to real life. Kenshin loved Kaoru, not her. She already knew that, and now she would have to learn to live with that. It was her own fault. She had already ruined the lives of so many people, who had taken her opium. Now she would have to pay for her sins. And one of the ways was to go check up on Sano's hands. Checking back to reality, Megumi walked away. Inside her bedroom, Kaoru was also crying. She wanted Kenshin so bad. She loved his expression, his face, his hands, and his body. His innocent and peaceful side. She loved him. Or did she? Somehow, Kenshin seemed to shrug off her affection. Or maybe it wasn't his fault. She had never showed him properly. Kenshin was always afraid for those close to her, for maybe one day Battosai would appear again and slaughter them, or maybe one day he would be forced to leave. But Kaoru had no fear of this, Deep in his heart he would always be Kenshin. Himura Battosai was dead. As Sano had pointed out, Kenshin had begun to practice swords manship with Yahiko, and he was here to stay. Here to stay, but when would her be hers? Her silvery tears fell off her cheek, and fell onto her blankets. It was then, that she knew that she had to tell him. And tell him now. She slowly lifted her legs out of the mattress, and took off her sleeping robes. She then put on a long bath robe over her undergarments she closed her window, which Kenshin had peered through, and stealthily slid open the door, her gentle feet touching the cold wood outside. *** Kenshin put his sakabatou by the bathtub, and slowly slid into the hot water. He let out a sigh of extreme comfort as the hot water eased his muscles. He let a small "aah" escape his lips, then he closed his eyes. Kaoru's father had gotten a large bathhouse for the many disciples that were there at the time. Eve though Yahoki was now the only one here, Kenshin didn't mind that he was the only one sitting in the pool of hot water. He raised an eyebrow when he heard the door slide open, and his eyes popped open when he felt the warm presence of¡K Kaoru. The young and attractive woman wearing only a bathrobe entered the bathhouse. She closed the door and looked at him. Kenshin's eyes were open with shock. Her smooth skin wasn't behind the hiding kimono, but only her bathrobe. She walked in, and quietly shut the door behind her, her gentle hands handling the polished wood. "Kenshin" she said softly, as she left her bathrobe fall down to the ground. She took a step forward, and took off her undergarment, and hung it on the hooks provided. She slowly slid into the water across from Kenshin, while all this time, he still looked at her mouth open and eyes in a serious gaze. She was more beautiful than he thought, but¡K what was she doing? This was not the Kaoru he knew. The Kaoru that Kenshin normally saw was a shy, and innocent girl. Still, she seemed to know some things better than him¡K Kaoru understood true love better than him. She opened her mouth to speak, and hopefully to answer Kenshin's silent question. "I've always looked at you¡K as a very beautiful person¡K" She slid forward in the water. "And during your battles, I've always worried about you" She leaned in close to Kenshin, her eyes trying to tell him something. Something that was very hard for her to say. But her hands didn't mind as she put them across his shoulders and kept him in front of her. Kaoru could tell how Kenshin felt, his shoulders very tense. She then glided her hands across Kenshin's face, and touched his cheek. One which held the scar in the shape of a cross, and one, which was gentle and smooth. She then, in her final breath, said "I love you Kenshin" She slowly moved her lips forward, and pressed them gently against his, in a caress and embrace. Her tongue slid effortlessly into Kenshin's mouth, and he made no effort to push back. He sat there, not sure as to how he felt. Kenshin's expression of shock began to wear away. He loved her. He liked her, her smiles, her presence, her kindness, and her face. Her breath and her lips¡K (Notice how cooking is not here) Yet all this time, an automatic defense had been telling him that he didn't. But he knew now. He was here to stay. He loved Kaoru with all his heart. And only minutes before, Kenshin hadn't realized it. He thought that when he came to the Dojo, he would stay for a day, maybe two. A week at max. But he had been wrong. Here, he made friends, good friends, and female friends¡K and ¡K maybe a lover? He had denied himself, for many reasons. Ever since "she" had died¡K he could not let anyone get close to him anymore. But somehow Kaoru had breached that defense. During all this thinking, Kenshin breathed in her tender essence. When Kaoru finally let go, her gentle, sweet lips departing his. He raised his hand from the water, and touched Kaoru's face. He guided his thumb across her cheek and closed his eyes. He then lifted his face to make contact with hers¡K He put his arm around her smooth back, and tried to pull her close to him. But then suddenly what was happening flooded into Kaoru's mind. No it wasn't another one of her beautiful dreams, it was reality! Kaoru instinctively backed off. She blushed furiously, and tried to cover her body the best she could, as if it would do any difference. She sat down across from Kenshin in the large tub. She had a towel across her body. Kenshin's eyes opened again, and looked at Kaoru who was blushing terribly. She began to talk to the wall, almost stuttering. "I'm sorry Kenshin, I just¡K I don't know what I just did okay?" Kaoru's face began to get angry. Somehow, failing to get to her crush had affected her sense of reality. Tears welled up in her eyes. This time it was she who had ruined everything. Not knowing what to do, and her mind in turmoil, she began to tremble, and scream. "Maybe I'm just not good enough for you, I'm just a worthless little girl waving a bamboo stick" She said at Kenshin with tears down her cheeks. Reality twisted and turned. Her mind went berserk. The once shy and quiet gentle girl went beserk, her once gentle self shattered by her own anger. Her anger at nothing, but herself. "I'm worthless compared to you. You can, well!" She was breaking down, and her hysterical voice said "You can save Japan and act cocky while all of your shitty friends come fuck up everything and screw all this shit up" She cursed. Kaoru didn't know what she was trying to say. Kaoru was going hysterical. Her face now red with tears coming down her face. She knew she was bullshitting to herself. But she couldn't stop it. She shook her head, her wet hair flying all over the place, and she swung her fist into the water. "God!" She sobbed, burying her face into her hands. Tears were flowing out freely. Her head was spinning around in circles. She couldn't stop sobbing. "I love you Kenshin, I love you" She sobbed again and again. Much to her surprise when she opened her eyes, Kenshin was in front of her. His hands were on her shoulders, trying to calm her down. He had a small smirk on his face. Angrily Kaoru said "What the hell do you think is so funny you piece of shit" Her swung her hand at him with speed only attained from endless sword training. Her hand flew at him in a slap, but in a almost frightening move, Kenshin's hand came up and caught her hand gently. Kaoru looked down and began to cry. Kenshin used his other hand to lift her head and looked at her blurry eyes. Kenshin spoke. Kaoru looked into his calm and serene eyes , and the tears stopped. At first she thought it was her imagination, but no. Finally, Kenshin had said it. "I love you"¡K Soon Kenshin put his lips against hers and kissed her. His kiss was long and meaningful, passionate and beautiful. His kiss ended and he said as he held Kaoru's hand "I've always felt like this towards you too Kaoru¡K thank you" He gave her a hug, his arms coming across her shoulders, and onto her back. A hug of love and desire. He loved her. He let go, and backed away, and began to walk out of the bathtub when he felt a soft and gentle hand go to his. He looked down to the red faced Kaoru, who still had tears going down her cheeks. "Don't leave me" She said, almost begging him. Kaoru's words escaped her lips. She couldn't let him escape, especially now. He slid back into the hot water again, and hugged Kaoru tightly, letting her put her hands on his chest. Kaoru felt his strong heart beating, and her heart beating against him. She loosened her hands, and hugged Kenshin back. Tears fell down again. This time, however, Kenshin cried them. He was finally with Kaoru. Through the warm embrace, their tears flowed. He was hers, and she was his. He settled his nose on top of her head, and cried tears of joy. "I love you" Kenshin said gently, the words caressing Kaoru. She said them back, and she rested her head against him. Then, Kaoru looked up, and her face was also streaked with tears. Except now, her face held a bright smile... Unknown to them however, Sano was walking around looking for Kenshin, Kaoru, and Megumi, who was supposed to be re bandaging his hand. But what really made him come out, was when he thought he heard the sound of a woman sobbing. He looked around, when he saw Megumi peeking into the bathhouse through a small imperfection in one of the boards. She had seen them kiss, see them hold each other tight.¡K Kenshin would never be hers. A single tear rolled down her cheek. "I'll happy if he is" she had said. Now she wondered if that was true. She stood up when Sano said "What are you peeking at!?" For a moment, Sano thought he saw Megumi's hair stand up, but then she calmed down. Her hand instinctively going to her heart. "One of these day's I'm going to have an heart attack!" "Well answer my question, what are you-" He paused and heard Kaoru and Kenshin's moaning and groaning. Heavy breathing and the occasional "I love you" explained everything to him. "Ok¡K" Sano said. He was sorta of surprised that Kenshin and Kaoru were already become so intimate, but he had no time to celebrate for his two friends. Megumi looked at him, with a face that showed no emotions, but when she closed her eyes. Tears fell down her cheek. Even though she decided on the day Kenshin left for Kyoto, that he would never be hers, this was too much for her. She couldn't help herself from crying, as tears slid down her cheek. "Aww come on, I thought you said it yourself, you'll be happy if he is, well anyway, come on, my hand is itching" He gave a friendly pat to her back with his left hand¡K but he kept it there. Megumi didn't bother with the energy to comment about it. Sano really pushed the line when the friendly pat turned into a hug. Megumi leaned into whatever refuge was there, and Sano was it. Her head rested slightly against his strong shoulders¡K When they got to the living room, Sano gentlemanly opened the door, and let Megumi enter. Sano was hardly ever like this. But today was a special day, and he couldn't bring up a friendly insult to her. Megumi's heart was a gentle thing. In fact, she wasn't all that bad. Sano remember the time when they had rescued her from an evil opium dealer. She herself had said if he ever became stronger, she would think about him as a boyfriend. Sano chuckled at the memory. I wonder if I qualify now. When she entered, Megumi collapsed, her tears flowing freely. Sano began to feel bad for the poor girl. He sat down next to her, and eased her body close to him, and hugged her close to him, trying to stop her unhappiness. "Come on, stop crying" Megumi only cried harder. Unknowingly, Sano brushed her hair and tried to sooth her. "Come on, it's not that bad, you've still got me¡K" Megumi's eyes were now closed and tears still flowed down her cheek. Unknowingly, Sano bent down to kiss her cheek. Megumi felt it. But she didn't care right now. "Kenshin¡K" She whispered. Sano could only sigh, and continue brushing her hair. * * * Kenshin didn't know how it started. Neither did Kaoru. Who made the first move? Did she spread her legs? Did Kenshin let her body drop onto it? Now it didn't matter. As long it had started, with someone she loved dearly, she decided she would end it with Kenshin too. She only knew about sex, and never had experienced it before. She had heard from her father, when she was like, 14 or so. The reason she had never had sex before, for she had promised she would save it for he person she loved the most. And that seemed to be obvious who it was now. She let a groan escape her lips, and bent down to kiss Kenshin. Picture (Kaoru who is atop Kenshin, leaning down to kiss him. He has big twirly eyes, and is weakly saying "Oro¡K", but instantly turns back to serious.) Kenshin pulled Kaoru down towards him. It seemed like every centimeter that he moved, she groaned or moaned. Kaoru put her hands against Kenshin's chest, and made it no secret he loved him. Her wide hips lay on top of him, and her smells surrounded him, as did her sounds. He gasped as Kaoru's foot slipped, and his entire length went into her. A flood of pain and pleasure went over Kaoru and Kenshin's body. Kenshin still kissed her neck, breasts and face successively. His kisses were small and gentle but full of passion. Kaoru closed her eyes and flung her head in ecstasy. The pleasure of sex was unbelievable. Trying out something new, Kaoru moved her shaking hands and held the edge of the bathtub which Kenshin leaned against. Kenshin lifted his head so he could kiss her passionately again once more. Kaoru's lips were deeply red, and soft and tender as Kenshin's lips touched them. Kaoru's breath mixed with her lover's, and both of them breathed in each other's essence. Kaoru tried to elongate this kiss, pushing his head against the wood, her lips pressed firmly onto his. And when she finally broke away, Kaoru smiled at Kenshin, and Kenshin did the same. They looked at each other's eyes, nearly getting lost in each other. A warrior Kenshin had once known told him that the eyes were the windows to the soul. Kenshin believed him now¡K Kaoru's soul was beautiful¡K Kenshin remembered a time when they had been like this. At the river. Kaoru had lent him her blue ribbon, for what every reason, he didn't know. It seemed that Kaoru had made a more emotional action, than a physical one¡K Maybe she was trying to show him that she had feelings for him. Until today, Kenshin didn't know why she had given him her ribbon¡K It had been romantic. And he enjoyed every moment of that, until they were interrupted¡KBut now he felt out with his arms and untied the ribbon on Kaoru's head, which she had forgotten to take off. He felt it in his hands. It was a made of smooth expensive, but, ordinary cloth, but it held so much meaning for both of them. To Kenshin and Kaoru, it seemed to be made of their love¡K It used to have bloodstains on it, but Kenshin had long ago washed it away. Kenshin held it for both of them to see. Kaoru looked at it, and she smiled at the memory. She looked at Kenshin, who also thought of the memory as a fine moment. But then, Kaoru tried out her new position, swaying her hips back and forth. Her hips met lots of friction from Kenshin's sexual organ, but it only made intercourse more pleasurable. The pleasure was indescribable. Kenshin actually groaned, as his cock was hungrily swallowed up by Kaoru's vagina, and released again. Kaoru did this again and again. Immense waves of pleasure washed over both of them. "Oh Kenshin, oh¡K" Kaoru cried, pain and pleasure filling her words. Kenshin hugged her body as close to him as he could. Kenshin moaned wordless cries, and he kissed Kaoru, and said between his panting and gasps, "Kaoru, I love you" Kaoru only moaned back in response. The young sword sensei loved this vagabond. He was once a merciless killer, the legendary Battosai¡K And she was the daughter of a great swordsman and father. Fate had decided that these two would come together. Kaoru's sweet and kind and caring self, always hidden the Shinai which fed out a plethora of bruises and , Kenshin's brutal entity, always hidden behind a kind and caring person. They were black and white. But they did not repel, instead, they mended each other's weaknesses. Fate had been extremely kind in finding such wonderful counterparts for them. But it wasn't all fate. Kenshin and Kaoru loved each other, and now that the barrier was finally broken, nothing restrained their feelings for each other¡K Kenshin glided his hands across Kaoru's body, across her chest, breasts, and stomach. His hands felt every inch of her, as if they confirmed reality for him. Kenshin brought his hands up to her shoulders, finally, Kaoru's climax appeared, and she lifted the lower half of her body out of the water as an massive orgasm took place. Kenshin's climax did not come, but he didn't mind. This had to be one of the most beautiful moments in his life. Making love to an almost unapproachable crush¡KThere had only been one other time before¡K nearly ten years ago¡K But this was beautiful. When Kaoru's ragged gasps turned to soft, almost musical breaths, Kenshin hugged her close. Kaoru never felt so happy. She lifted her self-higher above the water, and hugged Kenshin, and played with his long red hair. She sighed contentedly and sleepily. Her arms going around Kenshin's head. Her perfectly shaped breasts brushed against Kenshin's shoulders. Kaoru gently moved her hands across Kenshin's hair¡KOf course, she noticed a plethora of small bumps on his head¡K "ouch!" Kenshin said when she touched a recent one. Kaoru said "Hey! Was this one from Kyoto?" She asked playfully "Yup" Kenshin said. Kaoru touched another on the side of his head "ouch!" Kenshin exclaimed "I'm sorry!" She quickly said. She thought about it and said "Bamboo sword?". Kenshin just laughed. "Haha, you'll have to apologize a hundred times for each time you gave me a good whack or punch.!" "Hee hee, sorry Kenshin!" Kaoru said. Kenshin still had a small smile on his face, as did Kaoru. They smiled contently, when Kaoru put her hand to his cheek, and moved her head forward to kiss him. Kaoru let her instincts take over as she moved her body closer to Kenshin. Kenshin's expression changed quite fast. His eyes closed as he kissed Kaoru, her lips so full of life¡K and soon the two lovers began to kiss passionately, their bodies sinking slowly into the hot water¡K * * * Megumi had cried herself to sleep on Sano. Her long black hair tickled his neck and her soft body lay against his hard, masculine body. He couldn't help from sighing. A beautiful maiden leaning against him. Though he never admitted it, Megumi looked pretty, well, pretty to him. Though he would have rather lied to people, saying he was gay, than admit he liked her, but he still liked to think about her in his mind. He wondered what she felt for him¡K He was answered by her¡K "Sano,.. umph¡KYou're turning into a man¡K hee hee" She said, talking to herself in her dreams. Sano resisted as smile, and let this angel who had fallen out of heaven sleep against him. * * * In the bathhouse, Kaoru also rested against Kenshin's warm body. Kaoru still had the warm glow in her from making love, and she let her body cool itself down next to Kenshin. Her smooth face had a slight tinge of pink. She smiled and Kenshin brushed at her cheeks with his thumb. Kenshin kept his hands on Kaoru, his hands touching her sweetly. Then he noticed how his hands were a bright pink, and all wrinkled. Kaoru was nearly asleep on Kenshin, when he gently got water in his cupped hands, and rubbed it against Kaoru's cheek, washing away any dirt or residue from tears.. Not long ago they were soaked with tears, now they were wet from love. "Hmph?" Kaoru asked gently. "Come on" Kenshin urged. "Back to bed" Kaoru smiled, and lifted her lips to kiss Kenshin once again, and stood up. She got to the side of the wooden tub, and lifted her long legs out of the water. She stood up and got a small tower and dried off. Kenshin had already put his clothes back on, and he put Kaoru's robe on her shoulders, and didn't drop his hands. Kaoru put on her simple robe, and held the hand on her shoulder. Then, she opened the door and walked out, a small grin on her face. "So much has happened, but so little has changed" Kenshin only stood in the bathhouse door, his sword his only companion now. He let off a hearty sigh, and walked towards his room * * * Five hours later. Kaoru just couldn't go to sleep. It was already so late, but she couldn't. Whenever she closed her eyes, dreams of Kenshin happily running around always awakened her. She wanted someone. So she got out of bed in her nightclothes, and stood outside. She looked up at the stars and gazed in wonder. The small dots of light in the dark velvet sky amazed her. She almost tried to reach out and touch one. But instead of bring down a magical jewel of light, she felt Kenshin's warm presence around her. Then Kenshin's arms went around her, and held her close to him. Kenshin smelled her sweet hair, as he did earlier in the bathhouse. Her hair was still a bit moist, but Kenshin didn't mind. The longs black strands only added to Kaoru's beauty. His hands went around her shoulders, and let his hands drop. God, how he loved her. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" Kaoru said excitedly. Kenshin nodded, and Kaoru felt it on her back. Her eyes were bright and beautiful now, and she looked higher and higher into the sky. She held Kenshin's hand, and hoped that he would understand. His hand felt warm, and she couldn't stop from crying, it was beautiful. Kenshin held her close, and they gazed at the stars together. Soon that sat in front of the front garden on the wooden floor, and Kenshin caressed the back of Kaoru's neck with his lips. Then, with the fingers of sleep slowly grasping both of them, Kaoru began to close her eyes. "No, not now, not yet¡KLet me be with you for a little longer" Kenshin whispered. She let out a silent but clear voice of protest, but she didn't mind. As long as Kenshin was with her¡KShe smiled faintly as she sat on his lap, his arms around her. Her head lay against his shoulder gently, and Kenshin took in every single scent of her in a deep breath. Then finally, the two closed their eyes. Deep sleep soon surrounded them both, and they dreamt of each other, their smell playing with each other's minds¡K * * * Suddenly Megumi was awake. She sat up, but found her cushion to be too squishy. She put her hands on the floor and got up. But then¡K That sure wasn't a cushion¡K Sano lay against the wall, where she just was. She almost fainted. "Shit!" she exclaimed. But then she shut up, not wanting to wake up Sano. He actually looked cute now, with his poky hair and white clothes. Megumi turned herself away, at least she thought she did. There seemed to be some sort of attraction to him. She tried to fight it back, but suddenly, she found her lips on his. She kissed his sleeping face, and when she withdrew her lips, and with a sad look on her face, she realized it. She loved Sano. She turned and ran out the door, and out the front door. Not noticing the two lovers sleeping there. If she saw it, it would only fill her mind with more turmoil. She ran home, back to her small drugstore. She ran until her feet hurt from being slammed onto the hard ground, but she didn't care. She couldn't think clearly anymore. Her mind ablaze with thought, love, and passion¡K * * * Morning came silently. Kenshin didn't even rise up and early as usual, Kaoru's warm body cradling him asleep. But then again, the small bird that had landed on Kaoru's head was enough to wake both of them. Kaoru's eyes opened sleepily at first, but when there was a small animal on her head, she jumped up and screamed. Her shriek echoed across the dojo. In his room, Sano awoke. Yahiko still lay sleeping like a pig in his room though¡KKenshin woke up with a jolt. He quickly addressed the problem. "Argh! Better than a cup of coffee" he said playfully as he hugged Kaoru playfully. But she shrugged him off, blushing. Apparently, her shyness went away last night, and came back today in full force. She smiled bashfully and said to Kenshin, "Come on, I'll make you breakfast!" Kenshin smiled, looking down to the ground, to the dojo, to the sky, to the dojo. Kenshin then followed that young energetic woman to his friends, who were awaken by Kaoru's cry¡K (A little section in the corner: Yahiko: When did Sano start wearing lipstick, (Megumi's kiss¡K)WA HAHAHAHA) End of chapter one Chap 2 "Peach As I walk peacefully through the forest, Fate guides a peach, And it lands in front of me. It's smell is sweet and fragrant, And it tastes like happiness. I take another bite, And I realize, It's like you, But then, I wouldn't dare to bite you, Or else you'd smack me with a bamboo sword" "Argh!" Kenshin cried out frustratedly. He smacked his forehead, and continued. In his hand, he held a small delicate brush, and on the grass next to him was a thick black ink in a expensive ink holder and grinder which Kaoru's father has used before his passing away. He crumpled up the piece of rice paper, and tossed it into the river. As soon as the delicate paper touched the water, it became structurally weak, basically turning it to goo, and was dissolved by the river currents. It was still morning, and after Kenshin had survived breakfast, which was served by Kaoru, he decided to write a poem for her. Before he knew it, he had a new idea¡K "Sword The sword lay on it's side, Untouched, and unused, It's blade still gleaming. Kaoru the great, Never used that sword, For sword must protect, And must not kill. So she uses a bamboo sword, Because if she used a true blade, I'd be missing a headAKFDGGFHFDG~!###%#$^T$%" Kenshin scribbled with the brush, making insane strokes in rapid succession. "Argh!!!" Kenshin cried again, not bothering to crumple the paper, just dropping it by his side. Soon Kenshin had made a stack of poems. All of them failed miserably. Then Kenshin started again, this time determined to make a poem that would please Kaoru. He sat down and concentrated. Hard. He had to get this to work. Before he knew it, lunch had passed, but Kenshin was already under a tree, and worked harder. All through the day, passerbys and neighbors kept on hearing Kenshin's annoyed cries. Soon the sun was a crimson red, and about to set. Kenshin sighed, and lifted his brush * * * After placing another piece of paper on a pile nearly a meter high, he wrote again¡K "Robe Your long white robe drifts behind you, And your slim beautiful body slides forward, Your robe drops, and I walk to you and drop mine too. The you beg for me too ¡K" "ARGH!!!" Kenshin cried again, and decided to toss this one into the river. It was especially bad. Then he noticed the setting sun's reflection being distorted on the river surface. "oh well" he muttered, and continued writing¡K "The Ribbon¡K" Kenshin wrote Kenshin had faith in the one¡K "The Ribbon¡K The blue ribbon, Which I had received, Held so much meaning for me. Love and pain, Agony and pleasure, Sage and fool¡K Me and you. I love you" ----- Free e-mail group hosting at http://www.eGroups.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the absolute lowest price on Video/PC Games visit: http://ads.egroups.com/click/58/1/bottomdollar Subscribe, unsubscribe, opt for a daily digest, or start a new e-group at http://www.eGroups.com -- Free Web-based e-mail groups.
