Chapter 72
Kenshin walked around the table, and found himself standing in front of the startled girl, who took a defensive posture.
- So you're my girl now, Nara Kasumi..." he said affectionately, and enclosed her in his arms, nestling against her plump lips.
- Mppfh! - Kasumi moaned, and after a few seconds of kissing, gasped and said irritably: - Ты… Уууф, ты подлец, Кеншин! I'm not your girl, don't even dream about it!" Kasumi snapped, and then her sweet lips were once again engaged in a searing kiss.
Kenshin didn't hold back his caresses, and gently ran both hands down the girl's smooth back, down to her firm, bulging arse, and squeezed her buns properly.
Kasumi groaned affectionately, and placing her palms against Kenshin's broad chest, ostensibly trying to push him away, involuntarily began to grope his strong muscles, shifting the position of her palms each time.
Without much shyness, Kenshin slipped his restless tongue into her sweet mouth. Kasumi didn't know what to do, but her tongue responded on its own, answering the attack of Kenshin's tongue.
They kissed passionately for several minutes, until Kasumi, panting with heat, felt something large and incredibly hard against her stomach. And as soon as she realised what it was, she instantly bounced away from Kenshin like a frightened doe.
- YOU! You pervert! What is that?! - In a choked voice, Kasumi shouted, pointing at the large bulge in his trousers.
- This is proof of how beautiful and extraordinary a girl you are, Nara Kasumi. - Kenshin replied with a smile.
Kasumi was shocked at the brazenness of this cheeky young man, but she couldn't help it. As she caught her breath, she was horrified to find an incredible heat in her lower abdomen, and she couldn't make sense of these new and unfamiliar feelings.
- Come on, honey, the girls have probably already started dinner. They could use some help. - Kenshin said, and after the girl nodded in agreement, he turned and walked out the door.
Kasumi followed after him, immersed in her own thoughts. The two personalities inside her were struggling furiously, and though the second personality was still very weak and only awakened by caresses, Kasumi realised that with every hour she spent with this young man, she wanted to return to the clan less and less.
The black-haired kunoichi had cursed herself a hundred times and called herself a fool. She couldn't understand what had suddenly come over her, that instead of the most obvious winning move, she had deliberately walked into a trap, and lost. At that very moment, under the heightened focus, and extreme concentration, she clearly saw her victory. And also saw the fact that after her victory, she would never see Kenshin again. She would be questioned on her return to the clan, and if she didn't come up with a convincing lie, Shikaku wouldn't hesitate to invite someone from the Yamanaka clan to check her niece for the effects of the control technique. He would also check the memories of the last two days, and then Kenshin would be guaranteed to die.
Kasumi was angry at Kenshin's lasciviousness, but she could see the tenderness he had for her. She felt surprisingly happy around this shameless young man. She had experienced more emotions this day than she had in the past year, and she really didn't want Kenshin to be killed, especially after the many times he had kissed and touched her. To tolerate such a thing, the clan head simply couldn't, so the girl subconsciously made the decision to lose.
- You're an idiot, Kenshin..." she muttered, looking at his back.
- М? - He turned round in surprise, and looked into her black eyes.
- Why did you kidnap me?! Do you realise that my uncle will level your house to the ground?! - Kasumi exclaimed, looking into his eyes with resentment. She didn't want him dead, and she certainly didn't want Aya and Natsumi, with two unborn children in their bellies, to be crushed.
- I understand. But that won't happen if you stay with me. Shikaku just won't know about us, and you can be something you couldn't be in the clan. - Kenshin said, stepping so close to her that their faces were ten centimetres apart.
- Don't you realise I can't betray you and leave the clan! Not willingly! - Kasumi exclaimed, tears streaming from her beautiful black eyes.
Kenshin pulled her close to him and stroked her head, whispering soothing words in her ear. Kasumi stopped crying a moment later, and found that she had been cuddled against Kenshin's broad chest the whole time. Raising her pretty face, and looking into his beautiful eyes with her crying eyes, she once again snuggled into his broad chest.
Kenshin said nothing, and only continued to stroke her head. This went on for a few minutes, and all the while Kasumi was getting her thoughts in order. After all, she had rethought a lot of things and partially admitted to herself that she didn't mind being friends with this guy. It was out of the question to become his girlfriend, much less his wife, but his company was extremely pleasant and desirable to her.
- Well, we have a week to figure out how to avoid my uncle's wrath. You may be a scoundrel and a shameless pervert, but you don't deserve to die. A good slap to keep your hands to yourself, yes, but you don't deserve total annihilation. - Kasumi said imperiously, pulling out of his embrace and crossing her arms over her chest.
Kenshin couldn't help but admire the black-haired kunoichi's incredible beauty. As fast as she was falling in love with him, he was falling in love with her just as fast, and he didn't want her to leave at all. He leaned forward, and once again kissed her sweet lips lightly.
- You're incredible, Kasumi. I seem to be falling for you more and more..." he said, and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
- Fool..." she whispered, and turned away, making Kenshin cringe.
