A/N: yay! This is my first story posted on so enjoy!

---------------------------------------
Kaoru Kamiya leant back on her hands, staring at the stars.
She was sitting on stairs leading to the shadowed backyard, pondering her non-existent love life.
At 21, Kaoru still didn't have a boyfriend.
Why she couldn't find the right person for her, the person who knew her inside and out, whom she trusted completely and vice versa, or in other words: her soulmate, was a mystery to her.
Her raven black hair was in a high ponytail tied with her favourite blue ribbon, glinting blue black with the moonlight.
Kaoru's unusual blue eyes were a window to her soul, and were right now staring aimlessly at the night sky.
As if waking from a trance, Kaoru shook her head and got up.
Why was she even thinking these depressing thoughts?
Suddenly, a flash of light caught her eyes.
It was a falling star.
Not being able to resist, Kaoru closed her eyes. I wish…I wish that a tall, dark and handsome stranger would appear in my life and sweep me off my feet! As if in response, the star flashed then disappeared over the horizon.
Kaoru grinned at her wistful wish. As if that would ever happen! Her slender and graceful frame turned to go back inside.
She was quite lucky though.
She had a job she loved which was teaching kendo, friends she wouldn't ever replace, even though Misao was tres scary when hyper which was…always, Megumi was too foxy for her own good, Sano was…well…no comment, and one of her students, Yahiko, was quite dedicated albeit headstrong and rude. Yep, Kaoru was one lucky gal.
As Kaoru headed to her room after shutting the sliding glass door leading to the backyard shut, she wondered if she should listen to I Don't Need A Man by the Pussycat Dolls or to Bimbo Nation by Tv Rock just 'cause she loved the song.
