Kaoru's Regrets
Notes to know before reading
This fic is sorta A/U, all ages are changed so they are all the same age, which is 14.
Relationships are also changed around a bit, Kaoru, Misao, and Megumi are like a "clique" as are Kenshin, Aoshi, and Sano in their own of course
The whole Kenshin gumi, main characters including Kenshin, Kaoru, Aoshi, Misao, Sano, and Megumi, is present
Ok, so anyway, Kaoru is writing in her journal, reflecting on her feeling for Kenshin.
There probably always be a giant author's notes section to explain some parts you might not understand.
There will be parts where Kaoru is talking about particular assignments and such and those will be explained in the author's note
Now, onto the first chapter
------
Kaoru's Regrets-Chapter One-Choices, Choices
"Daddy? It's been a long night, let's go home now, please?" a young Kaoru looked at her father. "Misao and Megumi have already gone home, there's no one left to say good bye to."
He sighed. Her junior high graduation was definately something to be commeneded for, but it wasn't that he wasn't proud of his only daughter, He was indeed extremely proud of all her accomplishments. But his late wife wasn't here to see Kaoru's moment of glory.
Kaoru looked up at her father again, awaiting a response to her question, instead she saw that look in his eyes, and immediately know what he was thinking. Tentively she said, "Daddy? I know she's not here in person, but I just know she was here in spirit."
Kaoru's father, hearing those words, softened a bit, and smiled slightly, "I know, I know. Alright Kaoru, let's go back to the dojo"
------
Upon the arrival of the dojo, Kaoru ran into her room, she spotted the two graduation present she recieved from her best friends in the world, Misao and Megumi. From Misao was a little scrapbook filled with pictures of all three of them and little notes and such. She leafed through and saw Misao giving it to her
--Flashback--
"Kaoru!!!!!!!!!!"
Kaoru turned around to see Misao running toward her with all her might
"For Kami's sake, slow down!" Kaoru chided
"Gomen nasai, Mom" Misao replied sarcastically
"Mou! Last time you ran that fast you tripped and skinned your knee, then you made me carry all your books!
"Gomen, gomen. I just wanted to give you this"
"Wow! It's a scrapbook" Kaoru instantly look at every page, and giggled with delight. "I love it! and I'll treasure it forever. Arigato, Misao-chan."
--End of Flashback--
Kaoru put down the scrapbook and picked up a notebook Megumi had given her. It was an a beautiful notebook with the most gorgeous picture of a butterfly on it. And then she remembered what Megumi had said to her when she had given it
--Flashback--
"Wow, it's beautiful! Arigato Megumi-chan"
"Now you have a place to pour out your feelings for Ken-san! Ohohohoho!!" Little fox ears popped out of her head
"Mou!! Why do you keep saying that?" was Kaoru's indigant response
"Becuase it's true!"
"As true as your feeling for Sano?"
"Don't you bring up that baka rooster head!"
--End of Flashback--
Kaoru knew she had feelings for Kenshin, but of course never admitted it to him, or anyone else, for that matter. 'Next year, he's going to a different high school and I might not see him except for some kendo tournaments, I know he'll be there. Hiko will make sure of it'
'Maybe I should do what Megumi said. If I don't get all my feeling out, then I'll never get over him' Kaoru opened up the notebook to a fresh new page and started writing
This is kinda wierd writing in a journal and all but . . .
To be continued . . .
Disclaimer: The characters of Rurouni Kenshin do not belong to me, I'm just doing this to satisfy my craving for writing
Author's notes:
Nothing to really be explained yet, but just to let you know, there probably won't be much waf, becuase I'm horrible at that, and it might be a little sad I'm really trying to portray them all as average teenagers am I doing a good job?
yea, so that was it. Was it that horrible? Anyway, it was a pretty short chapter, but I have more written up, I just have to edit it a little, so maybe another chapter soon. If no one reviews it, I'll assume no one is reading it, so i'll just stop uploading them and leave it on my computer
