Kaoru's P.O.V.
My name is Kamiya Kaoru. I have ocean blue eyes which are very beautiful, according to my best friend. I have short and ebony hair. I'm your regular high school delinquent. But I really don't like violence, but they follow me everywhere I go, so I really can't help it. I'm always ready to jump on any fight if it means helping somebody out.
Sometime ago, I fought with a certain redhead, he was short for a guy, or well am I just freaking tall as my peers would always tell me. Anyway, this redhead is really strong, I can feel his ki, we fought because of a certain keychain.
This keychain is very important to me. Because it was given by my childhood friend, the love of my life, Tomoe. She is really beautiful, she had long black hair, big brown eyes and she is very sweet. She is also very popular in our school, Meiji High. Many popular boys confess to her, beautiful girls want to befriend her.
Anyway, this redhead was one of those boys. His name is Himura Kenshin. Tomoe always says that he's cute with those gorgeous purple eyes. I grew to hate him because of that. But even if Tomoe adores him, she nevertheless dumped him when he confessed to her. Oh how happy am I when I heard that.
Anyway with the keychain. That day, I saw him holding my keychain.
"Heycan you give me that? That's mine" I said but he just shrugged his shoulders and ignored me. And that made me snap. I am not proud of it but I really have a temper. We had a punching and kicking match because of that which cause my 3 day suspension. I practically declared to the principal that I started it, which was true, and that the redhead had just been the unlucky recipient of my tantrum. So they let him off which was what I was hoping for. I really don't like it when people get in trouble because of my antics.
Tomoe scolded me for a while day. But I don't mind, I like seeing her every expression. She's really beautiful. I really wish that someday when I'm not a rough guy she would consider going out with me. Maybe if I become popular like her, maybe she'll like me? Oh, Tomoe. Please wait for me.
The 3 days suspension went by fast. Tomoe always visits me. I'm really lucky to have her as my friend. By the time I returned ti school, the redhead, as I heard from many, became quiet and subdued. He stopped flirting with Tomoe, well lucky me, 1 less competition for Tomoe's affection. But I kind of find it weird though because sometimes I could catch him looking at me with adoration? Weird!
After sometime, a certain rooster came to the picture. After a hard punch, he became somewhat attached to me? I remember punching him so hard that he flew out of the classroom. Tomoe scolded me again when she heard of that. But I don't care, I'd listen to her anytime, even if she'll only scold me. Am I a masochist or what? But she's really cute when she's angry. Cute is probably an understatement, but she's really cute, I don't know how to describe it aside from that. I remember our conversation
"You—you did that to protect Megumi?" she asked bewildered.
"What? You think I'd punch someone without any reason at all?" I argued. I swear I saw her eyesflash a hint of pain. "Oh. Tomoe! I'm so sorry for shouting!" I apologized cluching her should lightly. I don't to hurt her. Oh. God. I love her.
"Do—do you li—like her?" she asked as she stuttered and was shaking from anger?
"What?!" I asked bewildered at her crazy assumptions. "Of course not! I only like yo—" I trailed of, I almost confessed to her! No. Not yet. I'm not yet worthy of her. She looked at me questioningly, for me to finish my sentence. "—ga" I finished. I surprised that I am calm on the outside despite the loud thud of my heart.
"Really? You don't like her?" she asked, her eyes full of hope? Is she jealous or something? I shook my head, that'd be impossible. Well, a man can only dream of such.
"Yeah. You should go home Tomoe. It's getting late already. Come on, I'll bring you home" I said as I took her hand on mine. But she shook her head.
"I'm staying here tonight. I'm not yet done with you" she said.
Well, I must say. I'm thankful of that rooster. She really stayed that night, she slept on my bed. I slept on the floor, although I wish to sleep beside her. My bed smells like her now, white ume blossoms, I really like her smell. And as I said the rooster became attached to me calling me young master and such. Freaking psycho. But I can't beat up the guy. I promised Tomoe not to get into unnecessary trouble. On the other hand, Takani-san thanked me although I told her it was not necessary, she still gave me cookies. I'm really not in any position not to accept it though. Takani-san is almost as popular as Tomoe, but of course for me Tomoe will always be the best. After that, Takani-san became attached to me as well, tries to flirt with me in front of Tomoeeven. What is wrong with these people!? Are they a psycho or something? But I don't care as long as I'm with Tomoe.
After sometime, Yahiko, Aoshi and Misao entered my so called group of friends. I swear, these people are really weird, after beating them up they became attached to me! Am I a weirdo magnet or something? But it was also because of them that I get to see Tomoe smiling everyday, so whi cares? I certainly can't make her smile all the time, so if they can make her, why not stick with them, right?
Normal P.O.V.
Kaoru was sitting in one the benches in the school grounds, his hands sprawled on the back of the bench. Thinking of the past events, his eyes were closed.
"Penny for your thoughts?" said a very energetic and femme voice as Kaoru's sight was blocked by a shadow.
"Oh. Misao" Kaoru moved a little so as to give her space to sit in.
"Ano…Kamiya-sama. Thank you for beating the crap out of Aoshi. I think that made him realize how stupid he is for seeking out the best title" she said fidgetting.
"Just Kaoru please. Anyway, as I said before, you really don't have to thank me for beating someone up" said Kaoru looking at her and smiled a bit.
Misao stared at Kaoru more, it was the first smile she saw that graced his features, his increadibly handsome face. Misao felt her face heat up as realization struck her. She's crushing on Kaoru!
Kaoru's smile faded. "I..uhm…I'm sorry Misao! But..uhm..you see—" he trailed off
"Oh. My. God! Did I just say that out loud?!" Misao panicked blushing madly. She saw him struggling to say something. "It's Tomoe isn't?" she suddenly said.
Kaoru paused for a moment and nodded. "Gomen Misao" he apologized as he bowed his head low.
"Iie. Kaoru-sama. Don't apologize" Misao said smiling. Then Kaoru lifted his head and looked at her and smile a little again.
"You're a great girl Misao. I'm sure it will not be hard to find someone who will like you back and who's more worthy of your affection" he said wholeheartedly.
"But that someone will not be you, right?" Misao asked boldly again.
"I'm sorry Misao" he said again his head dropping. "You're very pretty Misao. It's not hard to like. But even if she 's already in love with someone, I really can't stop my feelings for her. I'm a mess Misao. Pathetic and a coward-" Kaoru said as he stood. Before Misao could protest, he started speaking again. "-but thanks for your courage, I think I'll confess to her even if she rejects me—Anyway thanks Misao" he said then leaned down and kissed her forehead then waved goodbye.
Kaoru's P.O.V.
Tomoe where are you? I want to see you, I want to tell you I love you. Even if you love Akira. I just want you to know. I know I am not worthy of you but I really, really like you.
As I rounded around a corner, my heart stopped beating. There you are, under the Sakura tree that we called our secret place, kissing the popular Akira. You say he's very handsome, kind and sweet. Everytime you say that my heart ache. But now seeing you kissing him makes my heart broke into million more pieces. But don't worry Tomoe, I will be happy for you. If you're happy, I'll be happy. I slid my cool mask on despite the sadness that is engulfing my entire being. I waited until you were alone looking sadly at our Sakura tree. Then I walked towards you. I greeted you and you looked at me, smile gracung you beautiful face.
"Is that Kiyosato-sempai?" I asked you teasingly. And you blushed. My broken heart ached more but my mask never wore off. "So I take it you two are together now? So who confessed first? You or him?" I teased you further. Oh God. I'm pathetic.
"Yes. Yes. Him" you answered boredly, not even looking at me.
"You really like him, huh?" I teased again "Well, congratulations Tomoe. I'm happy for you" I'm sorry for lying. But I don't want to spoil your mood. "Ne Tomoe. I want to tell you something" I said to you waiting for your reaction. You nodded but before I could open my mouth, Akira called you. You him to wait, I chuckled a little. You were always very considerate of me. But I can't abuse your kindness. Maybe it's not time yet. I'll certainly wait for the right time. "It's ok Tomoe. It can wait. I don't want your boyfriend to think bad of you"Of course, Akira would possibly think you're cheating by talking to me. I can't let others think bad of you.
"Are you sure? I'm sure if I explain to him he'll understand" you said. Oh Tomoe. My courage slip. You two are really wonderful persons. Sorry for being selfish.
"It's alright Tomoe. It can really wait" I reassured you, smiling a little.
"Okay. But you know you can talk to me anytime, right?" you said sweetly. I just nodded. Then you kissed my cheek then went to Akira.
I just stared at the Sakura tree for a good 10 minutes. "You're really stupid" said a man's deep voice from behind me that brought me back to reality. I turned around and saw the short redhead.
"I know" I know I'm stupid for hoping that she'll like me back. "Are you here for a round 2? I'm not really in the mood. So maybe some other time" I said as I started walking away. I just want to wander around. I still have classes but I don't want to go. Tomoe will probably scold me again.
"You could have just told her you know" saod the redhead. I whip my head around. I'm really numb right now, I can't feel anything
"I'm a coward. I don't want to tarnish our friendship. She's the first friend I got. Oh right. You wouldn't understand, you're popular, many like you. You have many friends" I said. Nobody would understand. I'm a delinquent, she's a princess, so unreachable. If I confess now, I'll just ruin our relationship.
"No not a coward. Just stupid" the redhead said. I was about to argue back when I heard a plead of help from somewhere near, I immediately sprinted towards the voice, I can't ignore a plea of help. I saw 5 delinquents trying to get something from an old lady. Within 5 minutes the 5 of them were beaten down, stupid weaklings, not picking on someone their own size.
"You ok 'ba-san?" I asked and she wacked my head with her staff. "Itai!" I cried holding my head. It really hurts. Geez if she has so much power why not take down these people herself.
"I'm not old! Stupid brat" she said. I just at her. Maybe I helped some psycho again. "Anyway, thanks. I can grant you 1 wish" she said.
"It's alright. No need. I don't beat up stupid people to gain something"
"I can grant you what you desired most"
I stopped from my track at this. Stupid me for believing her. But I'm kind of desperate now. "Really? You'll make me popular?" well that is what I desired most now, so I can feel worthy of her.
"Really? That is what you desired most?" the old lady asked my incredulously.
"Yes—" I nodded. "—but" and before I could continue, the old lady raised her staff and a light engulfed me before fading into unconsciousness.
should i continue?
