The Plan



Kaoru awoke with a smile on her face that morning. For today she was
going to become a woman in the truest sense of the word. Her plan
couldn't fail, it was foolproof. If only she felt more sure of herself
and her abilities. This was to important. She needed to get rid of all
doubts. "I can do this, I can make this happen" she kept saying over and
over. Hoping that by repeating the words, they would give her the
courage and will power she needed.



Kenshin was dragging his feet where their relationship was concerned and
her body was telling her that she was ready, In fact she was more than
ready. "Kenshin, no baka!!" She mumbled, as she started dressing for the
day.

'/Now to put the first part of my plan into action/' she thought. She
had purchased a new kimono the week before that was a soft teal blue
with small dusty rose flowers accenting the corners. The one thing that
it had going for it was that the front was cut back farther than a
regular kimono. Allowing her, if she was positioned just right, to
flaunt what she had to anyone she wished. At that thought she tingled
all over. '/What will Kenshin do when he/ /sees this?/' she mused, more
tingles and her face flushed. '/Oh the face/ /flushing has to go/' she
thought ' /I must be able to act like I know nothing is happening. I
have to think of something. Think, think. That's it, I can think about
teaching my students/.'



She had spent many hours in the past evenings working with her hair. She
had mastered the pins and combs that was required for the stylish hair
that she needed to impress Kenshin. After arranging her hair and
smoothing her kimono, a last glance in the hand mirror and she was ready
to set her plan in motion.



Practicing the walk that Sano had taught her, she walked down the hall
to the kitchen. Everyone was gone for the day and wouldn't be back until
tomorrow morning. So she had until morning to become a woman. Standing
in the doorway she half whispered in the sexiest voice that she could
"Ohayou, Kenshin" . It came out more like a mouse being stepped on but
that didn't stop her in the least. "Ohayou, Kaoru-dono" came back the
familiar response from Kenshin.



Kenshin had his back to her when she entered the kitchen. As he turned
around, his eyes lit up when they gazed on her beauty. She started to
blush and then remembered to think about teaching. '/Yes/' she though
'/Kenshin you are going to learn everything about me. You will be my
only student today/.' He stood there just staring at her. Finely she
asked "Kenshin, daijobu" "Daijobu" he replied in a whisper. "Kirei"
escapes from his lips involuntarily. Slowly he sat down, his eyes
focusing on her body as if he is seeing her for the first time. Kaoru
slowly walks over to sit beside him, testing her new kimono, making it
open just slightly to tease him. She couldn't help but have a slight
smile on her face. Inside she was roaring with laughter at the look on
his face, '/I need to control myself or I will mess up my plans But it
is starting to work'/ she says to herself. She chants silently ' /I can
do this, I can make this happen/'



They both eat in silence. Kaoru was so excited that each bite was harder
to chew and so she finely gave up and decided to continue with her plan.



"Do you like my new kimono! I am not sure..." she sighed. "I...I..."
stutters Kenshin unable to say anything else. His eyes never leaving
her. She gracefully stood up revealing the twin mounds nestled in the
folds of the peek-a-boo kimono. "Oh, I guess I will change my cloths"
she says as she glides out of the room. Once out of sight she gives a
heavy sigh, glad that she had pulled it off without tripping over
herself. That practice walking sure payed off. Only then did she release
a perfectly mischievous smile.



Kenshin swallowed the lump of rice that he had been holding in his mouth
while he was watching her exit the room. '/Boy was it suddenly hot in
here/' he thought. He felt like his whole body was on fire. '/I must
control myself, if she had stayed longer I don't know what I would have
done/' mused Kenshin.



Kaoru quickly changed into her practice clothes and put her hair into
her usual pony tail. The day was just starting and she had a good
feeling that things were going to go her way.



Kenshin was finishing the kitchen chores and couldn't keep the nagging
feeling of doom from settling over him. '/Kaoru was acting very strange
this morning/' he thought '/Luckily no one else was here but still she
was very beautiful. How I would love to taste those..../' his thoughts
wandered as he left to collect the clothes for the daily laundry.



Kaoru made her way back to the kitchen knowing that Kenshin would be out
doing the laundry. After taking a few deep breaths and reciting her
chant a couple more times, she was ready.



With the small thread in her hand. She approached Kenshin. Kneeling down
unusually close to him, she said "Kenshin, I have been practicing a new
move. Could you watch me and tell me if I am doing it right?"



"Alright Kaoru-dono as soon as I finish the laundry" he replied, feeling
slightly nervous at how close she was sitting. "Oh Kenshin, you have a
thread in your hair" she said as she reached for the thread. Brushing
her fingertips in his hair. She moved her head closer to his and with a
flick of her fingers exposed his ear. As she said "Here I will get it
for you", she gently blew the words into his ear. She felt him shutter
at her touch then quickly pulled away to show him the thread.



But he did not look at the thread, he was looking into her beautiful
eyes. She was beginning to see a flaw in her plan for the more she did
to Kenshin, the feelings were bouncing back to her. She had to look at
her fingers to make sure they were still attached to her hand, breaking
her contact with Kenshin. She smiled when she heard him release a big
sigh. She lowered her hand down rubbing against his arm, shooting
electric shocks into both of them.



Her plan was working better than she had hoped.



'/Kenshin /' she thought '/ are you learning anything yet?/'



Kaoru could feel his eyes on her until she was out of his sight. Only
then did she breathe. She ran the rest of the way into the practice
hall. Glad to have a few moments to collect herself before the next
phase. She decided to meditate before she began the next "attack" on
Kenshin.



Kenshin just sat there with his hands in the soapy water enjoying the
feelings he had just received. Her warm fingers in his hair and the
breath in his ear were like a gift she had bestowed on him. '/I am not
worthy to receive such gifts/' Kenshin thought. But his body was glad
that she had given then to him. His feelings of doom from earlier fading
in the glow of her touch.



After she finished meditating her breathing was back to normal and her
balance was back to center. Kaoru decided to start off with her regular
routine. She had just finished when Kenshin walked into the practice
hall and sat down.



What good luck she had on this wonderful day.



'/Oh Kaoru, don't mess this up/' she thought.



"Kaoru-dono, are you ready?" said Kenshin. " Hai" was her response. She
took the beginning stance thinking '/I hope I can do this so that he
doesn't suspect anything/". With her back to him she glances over her
shoulder and says " I only saw this done once at the dojo where I taught
last week"



She started the move knowing that her hands were curved the wrong way on
the handle and her elbows were out to far. She started into the move,
her bokken slicing the air in quick motion and her feet dancing the tune
of the ryu. She ended with her back to Kenshin just as she had planned.
Catching her breath she looked over her shoulder and asked him " What
did I do wrong? It didn't feel right."



Kenshin walked over to her and put his arms around her, taking her arms
in his strong hands. When his hands connected with her arms, she almost
melted into a puddle of jelly. But her mind took control and made her
stick with the plan. '/Oh its getting harder but I must do this/' she
kept reminding herself.



"Your elbows..... were out to.... far and... your hands..." he studdered
trying to control the emotion that was building inside him. As he was
trying to show her what she was doing wrong, she was slowly backing up
to him and gently moving up and down against his chest. At the same time
his breath was coming out in small bursts on the back of her neck making
her body burn with a desire that she had never felt before.



He had to get away before he did something he didn't feel worthy of
doing. With the will power of the Gods, Kenshin broke away and walked
around to face her. " Kaoru" was all he was able to say as he melted
into her beautiful eyes for the second time today. "Yes, Kenshin " she
replied slowly lowering her eyelashes, mentally reveling in the fact
that he had dropped the dono. He swallowed hard and continued "If you
twist your hands like so" and preceded to move her hands to the proper
position.



With her eyes closed she could feel his hands touching hers as they were
being positioned to perform the move correctly. She couldn't remember
the practice hall ever being this hot before.



"Arigato, Kenshin" she said in a slow sweet voice. Opening her eyes, she
slowly took the beginning stance to try the move again. Knowing that she
was doing it right this time, she performed the move beautifully.



With a smile on her face she turned to face Kenshin. "How was that ?"
she asked. "Kirei" he whispered.
