Stellar
Chapter 1: Subway
My life is brilliant
My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled me at the subway
She was with another man
The early morning rush was getting to his nerves. Darn it because his car was borrowed by his father ... and it puzzles his why, of all people, he wanted to use his son's car. The people were noisy, careless and sometimes, impolite. He was waiting for the subway train to arrive when he caught up with his friend, Sanosuke Sagara. His friend's hair was unmistakable in a crowd of ordinary people; the ribbon that was tied around his forehead was flowing like a tail and that ridiculous outfit he always wore. "Kenshin! What a surprise to see you! Where's your car?" Sano greeted him. "The person who I call father borrowed it." He said.
"The new one?"
"Yes."
"Kao, stop fidgeting like hell! This isn't the first time you're going to the office!" Sano said to a girl standing beside him. She had long ebony hair that hang loose on her shoulder, blue sparkling eyes and a tall slender body. She was beautiful and she caught Kenshin's eye. The sound of the train jolted him and the three of them went in. Inside, Sano introduced him to her. "Kenshin, this is Kaoru." Sano said. The girl, Kaoru, stretched a hand to him, "Hi. I'm Kaoru Kamiya.", she said with a smile. "And Kaoru, this is Kenshin." Sano said. Kenshin himself stretching a hand to her. "Kenshin Himura. Nice to meet you, Miss Kaoru." He said with a smile. "Nice to meet you too." Kaoru answered smiling also. Their handshake was unhurried and purposeful, like feeling each other's hand that was gentle yet firm. His was a bit calloused and rough and her felt almost like Kenshin's but not quite, there is still that womanly softness in hers that captivated Kenshin to know her more. The three of them fell silent for a while and allowed him to concentrate on this new woman. He was already thinking of ways to know her better and eventually, make her fall for him. But there is a catch; he THINKS that she is Sanosuke's girlfriend.
But I won't lose hope
No sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan
He doesn't actually have a plan. All he thinks about is how to get that girl to be his. 'But she's Sano's girlfriend!' His conscience said to him. He jerked out of his ponderings when the train jerked to a stop. When they got out of the train, he heard Sano say, "I'll see you later Kaoru." "Okay, later." came the reply and a swift peck on the cheek as he watched them say their goodbyes. "Nice meeting you again, Kenshin!" She said to him. He nodded, saying, "I hope to see you around, then." As they separated to go to their destinations. The smell of jasmine was lingering on him and it made him wonder where it came from. It definitely is not his kind of musk. He glanced at his hand and brought it up to his nose and took smelled a whiff of jasmine. Yes, it was from her and how he liked her scent.
You're beautiful, you're beautiful,
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'cause I'll never be with you
Or so he thought. Sano, on the other hand, was amused to see Kenshin in a daze. His friend was never like that, he was always alert and sensitive to his surroundings. 'Could it be that he… aww man… no way, no way…' he thought. 'Kaoru…Kaoru Kamiya…" Kenshin kept repeating in his head. If only she wasn't taken. Well, honestly, it wouldn't matter I she was taken or not. What Kenshin wants, Kenshin gets. After all, he was one of the most powerful men in the nation because of the business they, he and his father, run. They work with the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon and the White House to stop attacks aimed to destroy the country. But thankfully, his work is not as hectic as it seems just a bit of hell. Scratch that, work was always hell. At least, he got something to take his mind off things. The only problem was that, Kaoru was Sano's girlfriend. He wishes to the stars that what he thinks is not what it is.
