Chapter 1 A Day at the Mall:
The wind blew gently on a warm after noon. It was a slow day today and so not much has happened. So Kaoru took this time to lay lazily on the grass looking up at the sky. As the clouds made shadows on her soft creamy skin, she lied their thinking of nothing particular. Just about how nice the breeze was feeling on her smooth skin. She had decided to cut English today, and all though this wasn't her first time cutting class, she almost felt bad. Although that was only because of she had left her best friend Misao there.
Knowing Misao like she did she probably wouldn't mind Kaoru skipping class because she would be to busy drooling over the boy on the other side of the classroom. The guys name is Aoshi "Ice burg" Shinomori. The only thing that Kaoru could think of as a reason why she Misao might be mad is because sense she had left her now the teacher—Mr. Saito—would probable make her take down today's notes and give them to Kaoru when she saw her next. His classroom notes were always three to four pages long front and back and if Misao had to copy an extra amount then she would not be able to drool over ice burgh during class and in result would most definitely be pissed when she next saw her. In fact she should probably show up right about...now.
"Kaoru!" Misao yelled in her normally high pitch voice. "Cutting class again, and leaving me to do all your notes and then make up some phony story about you going to the dentist for only part of the day! You know what? The least that you could have done was bring me along that way that jerk for a teacher would have just made us copies of the darn notes! But nooo you had to leave me to do all the work!" Misao finished by sticking her tongue out at Kaoru childishly. Then she sat down next to Kaoru and Kaoru sat up so that she was near eye level with Misao.
Kaoru just rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry I left you to do all the work Misao next time I'll bring you with me."
"Thank you." Misao said please with the apology.
"So how have things been with ice burg?"
Misao giggled. "I caught him looking at me in class then I caught sight of the faintest of colors of red on his cheeks! Its wasn't a lot but it was still there I saw it! After class one of his friends—Sano, you know the one that looks like a big chicken head—came up to me saying that Aoshi like me! Aoshi is so strong, athletic, quiet, smart..." Misao was now cupping her cheeks with her eyes clothed and was complete lost to the world around her.
Kaoru sweet dropped. "Well that's great Misao I'm really happy for you!" Kaoru really was very happy for her best friend but couldn't help but feel a bit envois of her sense she had someone that liked—maybe even loved—her and here Kaoru was in her third year of high school and signal. She Kaoru's had many guys ask her out and some even said that they loved her, but none of it sounded censer. It was all guy love—you know when a guy says that he loves a girl but he really doesn't he's just saying it to get in her good graces and the girl knows that he's lying but all she want to do is her it over and over again—well that's what it all seemed like to Kaoru. Just another trick to get her to go out with him. :sigh:
"Thanks!" Misao turned to her gave her a big hug. "Hey I know! How about after kendo practice we go to the mall and celebrate!" Kaoru never missed kendo. It was her favorite class! Misao, Aoshi, Sano, and Kaoru were the best in the class out of thirty. Sano had been Kaoru's best friend sense first grade. He would help her when the mean boys would pick on her(AN: You know how boys pick on the girls that they like for seemingly no reason what so ever grr). Sano was like an older brother even if it was only by a couple of months.
"Sure. Why not? Sounds like fun. I got paid at my job yesterday and I hear that the new comic party is out so lets go by the book store first ok?"
"Yeah sure thing I need to see if the new hot gimmick is out let anyway!" Misao said still very perky.
"All right then it's settled. We'll go to the mall after kendo!" Kaoru was now a little perkier no doubt that it was Misao's perkiness rubbing off on her. Misao had a tendency to do just that at times. They both got up off of the comfortable grass and started walking to were the gym was located.
Kendo was over before they knew it. It was always like that. Right as you got real warmed up and into it, it was over. So off Misao and Kaoru went to the mall. The trip was a good thirty minutes by car and the whole ride there was spent be Misao describing how cute Aoshi was.
Once there, they headed to the book store just as promised and bought the two books that they were looking for. They were having a really good time because well the mall is always fun when you go with a friend, but like every good mall there's always some weird guy there to watch and sometimes follow a girl around. This one though was extra creepy. He obviously didn't know who Kaoru was other wise he wouldn't have been following her around. It just happened to be his bad luck. He had long red hair and a cross shaped scare on his left cheek. He followed Misao and Kaoru the whole time and took pictures of Kaoru in different out fits. Kaoru would have been flattered seeing as such a cute men was taking a picture of her. Probable just because he thought that she was very pretty. However this has just gone to far. Kaoru had just turned eighteen two months ago and this guy had to be at least twenty-four. What he was doing was after taking a picture he also would look at us—as if we were a paper that had a bunch of information that he would need on a test—and then write things down in his note pad. He would do this if he saw us make a pose in a trendy out fit.
'All right this is getting pretty wired!' Kaoru thought to her self as they had walked out of the out-lit store Misao and her had entered earlier and were now headed to get something quick to drink.
Misao and Kaoru were about to leave when that guy had pulled the last straw by following them into a coffee shop. Kaoru had turned around so fast to look at the men that it caused the shocked men to not realize where it was that he was backing up and tripped over some ladies purse--that had been sat on the ground--and fell head first into Kaoru's chest! The red head pulled his head back and slowly tried to back away with obvious embarrassment.
Handing Misao my purse and setting down my bags. I turned and started walking toured this man, my face beat red from embarrassment and from anger. His face was also really red as his hair. With his long red hair put in a low ponytail at the base of his neck, that manly cross-shaped scare on his left cheek, deep blue-ish purple eyes and lean figure, if you ask Kaoru he looked down right yummy. Except Kaoru didn't care at the moment, he was still going to get it from her. What did he expect after following her around taking pictures writing god knows what about her down, and then landing face first into Kaoru's breast? Did he think that she would say 'Oh my! Are you all right sir' and after helping him start giggling and leave?!
"OK pretty boy, now you've done it." Kaoru said through clenched teeth and popping her knuckles. Kaoru pulled her fist back gathering her strength and gave him a good punch in the face. He fell over from the force of it.
The red head was sitting up on the ground groaning and cupping his sore cheek. "Ouch! Let me explain! I know you probably think that I'm just a sick per—"He was cut short when a security guard came and asked
"Excuse me ladies but is this man bothering you two?"
"Yes. He's been following us around for three hours and he just practically groped me!" Kaoru complained.
"Thank you ma'am. Sir please come with me." The security guard finished
"OK but take this and give me a call if you want some answers. My name is Kenshin Himura." He handed me a business card that had a magazine company name on it. I looked up to ask a question but they were gone. I went to ask Misao were they went but she was to busy buying two cappuccinos.
