Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin.

Summary: AU fic. What happens when Kenshin breaks up with our dear Tanuki- chan? Who will fill up the hole in Kaoru's heart? Seta/Kaoru.

Warnings: OOC!
I looked into his violet eyes. I loved him with all my heart. Nothing could ever come between. I looked at Kenshin. He was busy drinking his cappuccino. I sipped mine slowly-my mind busy with the thought of how much I loved Kenshin with all my heart.

We finished our cappuccinos quickly. I set down my cup.

"Now what do you want to do?" I asked cheerfully. Kenshin smiled that adorable smile of his.

"Whatever you want to do, Kaoru-dono." He said. I smiled while trying to hide my glare. I was sick and tire of that -dono part! I hated it! HATED IT!

"Why don't we just walk around the park for a while?" I suggested. It was fall and soon winter would come. I loved winter. Magic seemed to happen when snow fell.]

Kenshin smiled his gentle smile once more and got up. I got up as well. We walked around Blair Park, cheerfully talking and laughing. He gave no sign on what he was about to say later on.

I got up, showered, got dressed, made breakfast, and listened to Yahiko's (my brother) rants about how disgusting my food was. Oh well.

I started my way to school. Then, who should come along but Misao- chan. Misao was my best friend and occasionally, she could give me a ride to school. I wasn't exactly poor but I wasn't rich either and neither of us had driver's licenses. However, she was rich so she had a chauffeur as well as a limo. She signaled for the driver to pull of and he got out and opened the back door for me. I said my thanks to him and got into the car.

"Hi Misao-chan. Arigatou for giving me a ride!" I said gratefully. She smiled.

"Don't mention it! Guess what?" She said in a secretive whisper. I had to lean closer so I could hear her.

"Aoshi-sama asked me out to the winter dance!" She squealed. I smiled- happy for my friend. It was about time they got together!

"That's great!" I said.

"Did Kenshin ask you yet?" Misao asked. I shook my head.

"No but I'm sure he will." I said. Misao nodded and we talked about unimportant things on the way to school. We got out of the limo. And that's when I saw him. I saw my Kenshin (MY KENSHIN) KISSING another girl. I felt my heart shatter when I saw that.

"Kenshin." I whimpered. Misao heard me and looked around. That's when she saw him. They were FRENCH kissing!

Misao stomped over there. She tapped on Kenshin's shoulder. He broke off the kiss and I saw the girl he had been kissing. It was the new girl- Tomoe Yukishiro. Misao looked at him disgustedly and punched him in the face. She yelled at him.

"JUST WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING! ISN'T KAO-CHAN ENOUGH FOR YOU!" She hollered. Kenshin's eyes widened and he looked around frantically. He then caught sight of me. I felt hot tears running down my cheeks and I ran away. I couldn't face him. Not now.

I was so distraught that I rammed into something. I landed on my bottom. I looked around-too horrified by the sight witnessed by me just a few minutes ago-to apologize.

I found myself looking into blue eyes that matched my own. It was a boy. He was short but still taller than me (because, well, I am practically a midget). He had black hair and a huge smile.

He picked himself up and reached out-gesturing for me to take his hand and get up. I didn't take his hand. I just picked myself up and wiped my dirty hands on my tear-streaked face. I probably looked like a monster!

He held out his hand anyway for me to shake. I didn't shake it and I kept my head low so he couldn't see my face.

"I'm Seta Soujiro. And you are?" He asked while smiling still.

"I'm Kamiya Kaoru." I sniffled. His smile faltered for a minute and he took out a tissue from his pocket. Did I mention he was actually wearing clothes that were normal? The high school I went to was full of snotty rich people. I thought I was the only student that was just middle-class. That Seta boy had just proved me wrong. He handed me the tissue and I took it gratefully. I blew my nose and wiped my face.

"Arigatou." I said. Seta laughed. His laugh reminded me of Kenshin's. Kenshin. Was I not enough for you, Kenshin? Was I just a tanuki like Megumi said I was? I didn't realize I was crying again until Seta asked me a question.

"Is something troubling you?" He asked sweetly. Why was I starting to like this boy already? As a friend, only, of course but nevertheless I had just met the guy!

"Iie." I lied. It just wouldn't do to have rumors flying all over the place. He looked slightly hurt but I paid no mind to that. Just then the bell rang. My head snapped to the wristwatch I was wearing. Oh darn! I was going to be late!

"It was nice meeting you!" I said. Just then, he stopped me.

"Ano," He said uncomfortably. I looked at him.

"I'm new." He said and started to talk some more but I interrupted him.

"Iie, it's alright! I'll help you find your way." I said cheerfully, well, as cheerfully as one could be when you saw your boyfriend kissing another girl. I was going to be late anyways, so why not help a fellow peer in need?

"Who's your homeroom teacher?" I asked.

"Um, Saitoh-sensai." He said. I nodded.

"He's my homeroom teacher too." I said.

"Be careful, he's really the devil in disguise." I warned Seta. He laughed again. That laugh was just like Kenshin's.

We walked into the school building. Then who should be in our way but my former boyfriend, Himura Kenshin?
