Chapter 60
That was exactly how Kasumi felt at that moment. She literally froze, and stared at the young man who had come to her aid with eyes as black as shadow.
Kenshin approached her confidently, and asked: - How are you feeling? Here, drink this..." he said, and took out a flask of water.
The girl was weak, and in trying to pick up the flask with her hand, almost dropped it, so Kenshin held the flask with his hand and brought it to the girl's lips, helping her to quench her thirst.
In the dim, barely lit cave from the street, he could barely see the girl's face, but even that was enough for him to come to the conclusion of the young kunoichi's incredible beauty.
Kasumi took a few sips and tried to stand up, but the feeling of safety made her muscles, which had been tense for a long time, refuse to obey and relax. Kenshin reacted in time to stop her from falling, putting his arm around her waist.
Kasumi just looked at his handsome, strong-willed face, and said nothing, letting him wrap his arms around her, keeping her from falling. At any other time, she would have instantly torn the throat out of another man who dared to spread his filthy paws, but not now, and not him.
For some reason, she felt an incredible peace emanating from this seemingly weak young man. She didn't understand why, but she trusted him as if they had known each other for a long time.
As soon as they stepped into the light, the girl squinted sweetly, and squinted against the bright sunlight. As soon as her eyes were a little more accustomed to the light, she took a good look at her saviour, and was pleasantly surprised.
She found him even more beautiful in the light of day than she had in the dim light of the cave. Kenshin kept his hand on the black-haired kunoichi's slender waist and admired her beauty.
When their gazes met, Kasumi blushed and averted her eyes, only now noticing the other unknown guys standing a little to the side, watching her every move warily.
In another situation, she would have been wary, and feared a set-up, but not now. She felt absolutely no threat at the moment, as if the handsome guy holding her around the waist could solve any problem.
- Don't worry about them, they're my mates. They helped me save you, and we're not going to hurt you. - As if sensing her thoughts, Kenshin said. She didn't notice when he switched to "you" with her, but it happened so smoothly that she didn't see anything wrong with it.
Kenshin noticed how friendly this beauty was towards him, so he showed a little more persistence, and after a few steps, said:
- You're very tired. You need some rest, and I'll take care of everything. - Kenshin whispered, and picked her up gently in his arms.
The girl wanted to be indignant, but for some reason she kept silent, deciding that after she had rested she would not allow herself to be treated as defenseless. For now she decided to rest a little. The strong, muscular chest of the young man, against which she pressed her face, felt so pleasant. His scent put her in a state of peace, and the kunoichi, who had not slept in three days, fell into a dream.
Noticing that the girl had fallen asleep, Kenshin breathed a sigh of relief. He absolutely hated to take her away by force. Not only because she could hurt his sons, but also because his sons could hurt her.
Once again catching a glimpse of her incredible beauty, Kenshin couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful she was. She had a cute little nose, sensual lips, black irises, and an unbelievable mane of black hair woven into a long ponytail.
He also noticed her slim, hourglass figure. She had firm, toned thighs, a prominent ass, and incredible, firm breasts, at least a size two.
The beauty of this kunoichi was beyond his wildest expectations. He was going to accept Kasumi into the family anyway, but a beauty queen as a third wife was still preferable, and Kenshin was incredibly pleased.
But it was too early to rejoice, and Kenshin instantly calmed down, concentrating on the road. Thanks to the exosuit, he could hardly feel the girl's weight, and he could travel at a relatively high speed. His sons accompanied him both front and back.
The Third and Fourth moved forward, scouting the area, while the Fifth and Sixth closed the procession. Ichiro moved close to his father, ready to repel an attack at any second.
As the number of children increased, Kenshin finally decided to introduce some semblance of army discipline, and during a mission, all sons were forbidden to be distracted by anything but total obedience and focus on the mission. Especially if they were tasked with keeping the weaker father safe.
After about twenty minutes Kenshin was already standing at the door to the shelter, and as soon as he stepped forward he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. To his great joy, there was no tail behind them, but every thirty seconds since entering the reinforced formations area, Kenshin had checked the perimeter for signs of possible intrusion, but had found nothing.
Kenshin carried the girl to one of the far vacant bedrooms, and laid her on the bed. And then he immediately put a small, strong cuff on her, which instantly blocked 95% of her chakra, leaving only the necessary amount for accelerated regeneration of her body.
It wasn't that he was panicking and afraid that this fragile girl would suddenly jump up and launch an attack, but he decided to hedge his bets. The last thing he'd want was a Chunin-ranked kunoichi rampage that could turn into casualties.
As soon as the cuffs on the black-haired kunoichi's arms snapped shut, she immediately opened her eyes, and looked around.
Finding herself in a strange-looking room, it was only in the far corner of her mind that she noted the richness of the room, but she didn't care at the moment. She was startled to notice that she could barely feel the chakra that was so familiar to her, and tried to run the flow through her body, but nothing worked.
- W-what did you do?! - She asked the nearby Kenshin in shock.
- I'm sorry Kasumi, but it's for your own safety. I hate to tell you this, but this room is now part of your new home..." Kenshin said, barely able to withstand her shocked look.
- N-but... How could you? I thought you were a friend... - Kasumi said shocked, and cried. At that moment, she felt a huge resentment, as if she had been betrayed by her best friend.
Kenshin couldn't stand the beautiful girl's tears, so he sat down next to her and made an attempt to hug her, but Kasumi started to pull away.
- Don't touch me! You bastard! - Kasumi said through her tears, and made another unsuccessful attempt to break free.
