Dani: w00t! First entry ever!
Kenshin: not you too…shakes head
Dani: Yep! Sorry ken-san, but I need something other than camp to keep me alive this
summer!
Karou: pops up Dear god, save us all….
Dani: Uh-Uh! wags finger back and forth remember, I'm the one writing, so I can do
anything I want to you
Karou and Kenshin: Oh, Crap. --
As seventeen year old Karou was fitting her hair into a loose ponytail, the
doorbell rang. She shuffled around for a few moments in her violet satin dress putting
things away hurriedly before coming down.
"Ring, ring!" came the annoying ever hated noise from the entryway.
"Coming!" Hollered a rickety seventy year old woman from the top of the stairs,
also known as Karou's grandmother.
"Rin-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ring!" replied the bell, slightly less patient than before.
"Kids these days…" muttered the old woman to herself while opening the door.
"Oh! Hello! You must be Karou-dono's date! Hold on a moment, please." She said
cheerfully, right before slamming the door shut on the young man's face.
Karou trotted down the stairs eagerly, hoping to see the fire red hair of her love at
the landing. But of course, as we all know, due to her grandmother's lack of politeness he
was standing out front on the porch, shivering under the February snow when Karou
opened the door.
"Oh! Karou-dono! You look absolutely beautiful!" said Kenshin honestly, looking
her right in the eyes. And it was true, she did look beautiful with a dark violet silk gown
dropping down to her ankles, and her hair done up the same, yet in a way, different.
Karou blushed madly.
"This one can hardly believe that he has the honor of escorting such a fine young woman
to the dance."
Karou's Blush deepened while she was trying to think of something to say.
"Say something! Anything! Tell him how manly he looks in a tux! Invite him in!
ANYTHNG!" She thought to herself. She suddenly spotted a small bouquet of flowers
in Kenshin's hand. Her Favorite for that matter. Roses. Deep red roses, like the kind you
give someone when you really love them.
"Th-Those are pretty." she stammered. what was wrong with her? why was her mind
suddenly freezing up?
"Oh! Er.. They're like you! I mean… you they're like! Here, just take them." mumbled a
nervous Kenshin. It was now his turn to yell at himself f mentally. "You they're like!
this one is acting like a complete fool, that he is…
A silence came between the two. They both knew that someone would have to say
something, but neither wanted to be the one to say it. Karou finally got bored of it and
broke the silence.
"Why don't you come in a moment? I'm not quite ready yet, and I need to grab
my coat." she said calmly.
Dani: That's the end of chapter one! please feel free to post comments, and don't
bash too hard!
Karou: YOU MADE ME WEAR PURPLE/#
Dani: not purple, violet. There's a slight difference.
Kenshin: no there's not….
Karou: I'm still wearing a friggin' violet DRESS! why not jeans or something!
Dani: You're going to a prom for pete's sake. you can't wear jeans to a prom! And no,
I'm not making you wear a Duct-Tape dress either! That's all for now, folks! G'night!
P.S. Chapter Two coming soon!
