Laws of the Wolf
Chapter: 4
Another dang Council Meeting
Warning: A little hint of lime to come
Disclaimer: I don’t own Rurouni Kenshin
Kenshin sat in his usual spot waiting for the other alphas and elders to come. His hand
automatically went inside his jacket pocket to massage the delicate fabric of Kaoru’s
favorite hair ribbon. This had become a habit of Kenshin’s over the past three years, his
heart sank everyday the search for Kaoru would come up empty. He missed her so much,
he missed her hair, her eyes, but most importantly he missed her smile. Kenshin closed
his eyes as he attempted to remember every detail he could about his beloved Kaoru. The
idea of her alone, trying to survive without a pack to protect her, with Enishi still on the
loose. Kenshin was reminded of the woman he had found eight months ago while on the
search for Kaoru, she was once human but Enishi or one of his companions had bitten her
she was left to die in the middle of the forest and Kenshin had thought at first that he had
finally found Kaoru but one good whiff of air told him different this woman smelled of
plum blossoms while Kaoru smelled of jasmines and wild flowers. Her name was Tomoe
and she was beautiful, almost as beautiful as Kaoru but she lacked Kaoru’s eyes and
spirit. Tomoe attached herself to him, had tried to mate with him but Kenshin wasn’t even
tempted by her beauty he longed for Kaoru. In his mind and in his heart Kenshin felt that
he was already mated with Kaoru, he didn’t know when he had started to feel this way
maybe it had always been there but he never realized it was there until after Kaoru was
forced to leave.
Kenshin looked around almost everyone was in the clearing except for one or two elders
and Hiko. Kenshin growled inwardly, he knew that this meeting was important but he
wanted to be out searching for Kaoru not sitting here discussing treaties. That’s right the
treaty, soon Kenshin along with all the other alphas would have to go and meet with the
vampire lords to discuss the peace treaties that were made six years ago. That was how
Kenshin had gotten his title as beta, in his pack, in the first place. He had gotten his title
through battle and unfortunately the alpha before him had died shortly after from vampire
poisoning. Now lycan and vampires are on peaceful terms, so long as we keep with the
treaty. This was to be the first time the lycan and vampires leaders are to meet and discuss
the issues of keeping with the old treaty or creating a new one. This meeting that he was
waiting to start was to discuss the treaty we have now and what improvements should we
create if there was a knew treaty. Yet as important as this meeting was Kenshin’s mind
was still to focused on finding Kaoru.
Kenshin was so raped up in his thoughts that he did not feel the presence behind him until
a large comforting hand was placed on his shoulder. Hiko had grown soft towards
Kenshin, he no longer called him an idiot or any other name for that matter since Kaoru
had been gone. Hiko probably knew all along how Kenshin felt about Kaoru, and how
much her disappearance would affect him. “Kenshin, I want you to come with me before
this meeting starts I have something to show you.” The larger wolf whispered with a
smug smile on his face as he took a swig from his flask, Kenshin couldn’t help but
wonder what had the man in such high spirits.

Kenshin followed the older alpha in anticipation he didn’t know why he was so jittery all
he knew was that Hiko was smiling and that could be a very good thing or an extremely
bad thing. Hiko lead Kenshin to the encampment where Hiko and his pack stayed during
council meetings and the yearly gatherings. Hiko stopped at a rather large tent Kenshin
could only assume that it was Hiko’s, the older alpha pulled back the opening. The scent
of jasmine and wild flowers filled his nostrils as air escaped the tent, Kenshin looked at
Hiko in shock as he registered the smell, Hiko only nodded his head in the direction of
the opening a clear invitation to step inside. Kenshin took one more breath the exquisite
sent of Kaoru filled his nose once again but there was another sent, a male scent, it
smelled like sandalwood and oak trees. ‘Who is that?’ He thought as stood in front of the
opening. ‘Has Kaoru mated with another?’ Kenshin felt a lump in his throat at the
thought that he had lost his chance with his sweet loving Kaoru. He swallowed his pride
as he walked into through the opening.
________________________________________________________________________
Kaoru sat in the middle of the small cot Hiko had bought for her, she was surprised when
he had found her at the diner, and she was grateful that he had allowed Yahiko to come as
well. Yahiko laid on his cot across from hers a book in his hand as Hiko had taken little
Yahiko as his apprentice and would one day become a beta and then hopefully if the pack
allows Yahiko would become an alpha. Kaoru smiled at the small male wolf who was
eagerly reading the book Hiko had given him, she was glad Hiko had taken Yahiko under
his paw, the kid deserved a break after what he had been through.
Kaoru heard the flap of the tent open and thought that maybe Hiko had forgotten
something so she waited to here him ask the question her father usually asked when he
forgot something he was suppose to take to the council meeting. She could just imagine
the big wolf stomping around the tent throwing things here and there. Then he would
finally ask the question ‘Kaoru have you seen…?’ And as usual it would be something
right under his nose, men are so typical, she silently laughed at her imaginary Hiko.
“Kaoru?” Kaoru almost broke her neck as she snapped it around to see the face that came
with that voice. Her heart almost stopped beating as she saw him.
“Kenshin!” She jumped off her cot and hurled herself toward him but stopped a foot away
from him. She knew that if she hugged him the way she use to that it might cause
complications, specially if he had a mate. During her three years of running she had given
up hope, she knew that Kenshin cared for her but it had been three years and there was no
way a male could wait that long. She didn’t want to cause trouble for him or his pack.
“It is good to see that you are alive, Kaoru, that it is.” Kenshin’s heart stopped beating the
moment Kaoru had said his name. Then it broke when she stopped in front of him instead
of giving him the normal hug in greeting. Truth be told he wanted more than a hug, he
wanted a kiss, he wanted to touch, and he wanted to make her his.
“Thank you it is good to see you to, Kenshin.” Kaoru said heart broken by the way he was
not opening his arms or his heart to her. She needed a distraction anything to take away
the pain that the man she had once loved did not love her anymore. She looked around
and saw the perfect wolf for the job. “Kenshin, I would like you to meet Yahiko.” She
said with the fake smile and cheerful mask she had learned to wear while working at the
diner. “Yahiko, get over here and meet Kenshin. I found Yahiko in the woods near a place I was hiding. He was half starved when I took him in, but he won’t have to worry
about that now.” As Kaoru spoke Kenshin focus was drawn the shadow moving behind
her, now he would meet the man who stool Kaoru’s heart from him. Kenshin’s eyes
widened as the shadow materialized into a small male wolf who had just barely reached
adolescence. Kaoru put her arm around the boys neck and smiled. “I have somewhat
adopted him as my little-brother.” Kaoru put an enfaces on the word little.
“How many times have I told you not to call me little, ugly?” The small wolf growled out
his question, along with the insult that made Kenshin take a step back, clearly this pup
was blind.
“About as many times as I have told you not to call me ugly.” Kaoru retorted with a little
smug smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. It was at that time that Kenshin realized
Kaoru had not mated with anyone but had adopted a stray pup, and with her lips smirking
as the banter between her and the pup continued Kenshin wanted to nothing more than to
throw the pup out and throw her on the cot, hopefully with him on top of her. A predatory
smile spread across his lips at the direction his thoughts had traveled. Now all he had to
do was get the pup out of the tent.
“It is nice to meet you, Yahiko, thank you for taking care of Kaoru for me.” Kenshin said
effectively ending the banter between the two adopted siblings. Yahiko finally looked at
the man named Kenshin, Kaoru had mentioned him once or twice, but for some reason
Yahiko was not impressed with the red head alpha. After all wasn’t he suppose to be an
alpha and yet he wasn’t as muscled or as tall as Hiko was.
“I don’t get it aren’t you suppose to be an alpha? Aren’t you suppose to be well, more?”
Yahiko voiced his thoughts.
“I suppose you are expecting me to be more like Hiko?” Kenshin watched with
amusement as the pup nodded. “Well you will find out sooner or later that all alphas have
different assets, that are essential to the survival of lycan kind. Hiko may be a large man
and he may be fast, but he is not as fast as me.” Kenshin lectured the pup as he conspired
to get him out of his hair.
“Or as deadly with a sword.” Kaoru put in with a shy smile.
“Now that could be debatable, Kaoru.” Hiko had made his way into the tent, a smug smile
on his face, he knew the thoughts that were running through Kenshin’s mind and decided
to make it easier for him. “Yahiko I need you to help me carry some things to the council
meeting. Do you think you can help?”
“Sure, I can do that.” The young pup walked out of the tent none the wiser of what he was
holding up just by his presence.
________________________________________________________________________
Kenshin smiled his thanks to the older alpha. As Hiko and Yahiko left without another
word. He looked at Kaoru, who was smiling encouragingly at the young pup as he
followed Hiko out, she was completely unaware of Kenshin’s intentions to make her his.
Kenshin’s eyes changed to gold as he slowly approached her, his desire and passion that
had been pent up for the last three years was enough to make him any man explode. He
came up behind her and raped his arms around her waist, pulling her to him until her
body fit every curve of his.
“Kaoru, I have missed you, I have been searching for you, and I love you. Please, will you
please be my mate?” Kenshin closed his eyes and waited for the rejection to come from
Kaoru’s voice, to here the words he knew were true ‘You’re not good enough.’ Except he
didn’t hear those words but felt Kaoru twist in his arms till her the front of her body was
pressed to his, he felt her arms come up and rape around the knap of his neck. He finally
opened his eyes to see Kaoru’s smiling face and streaming tears.
She answered “Yes.” Kenshin’s heart began beating fast as closed the space between his
and Kaoru’s lips, he kissed her fiercely with the same strong urges he had felt before, he
felt Kaoru respond with just as much passion. He felt his body react as his hands slid
down to grasp her bottom forcing her to press her lower half against his. Still kissing he
lead them to the back of the tent were the cots sat and lowered her to the one she had been
sitting on when he first walked in. “Oh Kenshin, are you going to do what I think you are
going to do?” She questioned.
“If you mean make passionate none stop love to you, then yes, I am going to do that, that
I am.” Kenshin answered as placed himself above her.
“Kenshin as much as I love you, I do not want my first time to be on a cot in a tent, with
other wolves all around. They will hear us.” Kaoru complained.
“Then they will know that I have claimed you as mine, that they will.” Kenshin explained
as he started rubbing himself against her through their cloths.
“Oh, oh Kenshin.” Kaoru was over whelmed by the feeling swirling around in her
stomach. “Oh, oh, but don’t you have to attend to the council meeting.” She retorted half
heartedly.
“Yes, we will have to make it quick.” Kenshin answered as started undoing the buttons of
her shirt but unfortunately for him that was when Kaoru came to her senses.
“Now you listen hear, my first time is not going to be on a cot and it is not going to be a
quick. I want your full attention the first time we make love and I want it to last long and
hard and possibly rough. I want to do it in a comfortable bed and I don’t want you
thinking about anything else but me and if you can’t handle that then I am going to have
to say no to earlier question.” Kenshin stared at her with wide eyes, she was right he
should not force her to have her first time on a cot in a tent that didn’t belong to either
one of them and also make her first time a quickie. How selfish could he be?
“I am sorry Kaoru, you are right if only I didn’t have to go to that dang meeting. I love
you and I want our first time together to be special, that is if you will still have me?” As
Kenshin spoke he had lifted himself off of Kaoru and was in the middle of helping her up
as well. She smiled and nodded her head before curling up in his arms. He kissed her
forehead, her eyes, and her nose before he gave he a gentle kiss on the lips. “But I want
you to know one thing is certain my love…” Kenshin smiled as he lifted Kaoru’s head to
make sure he had her full attention. “Your days as a virgin are numbered.” Kaoru’s eyes
went wide as that thought sunk in.
“D..Don’t you have another dang council meeting to get to?” Kaoru asked hesitantly.
