RING..RING..RING..

Kenshin jumped up at the sound. He looked at the clock on his bedside table. 2:48.

'Damn. Who would call this early in the morning?' he thought as he felt for his phone.

Finally he found it on the floor. Looking with bleary eyes due to the bright screen he saw that it was his best friend, Kaoru Kamiya, calling.

'Wonder what she wants at this hour...'

Kaoru and Kenshin had been friends since middle school when her father moved them to Kyoto for his job. She made fast friends with Misao who was, and still is, dating Kenshin's older brother, Aoshi. It was inevitable that the two meet. And ever since they've been inseparable.

And now as they go through college Kenshin is finding it's harder to be her friend.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Kenshin I thought you'd never answer. Were you asleep?"

"Yea. And the phone was in the floor."

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to wake you. But..Enishi just broke up with me."

And once again Kenshin felt murderously angry at someone he didn't even know for hurting her. Heck, for just being with her. He never made it a point to meet her boyfriends. They'd be gone eventually.

"What happened?" he sat up seeing as how sleep was out of the question now.

"Um..Can I come over and talk? I just left his apartment and I'm already headed that way."

"Sure Kao. I'll have coffee waiting."

"Thanks Kenshin." He could hear her smiling into the phone before she hung up.

"Of course." He put his phone down and headed to the front of his apartment. He unlocked the door in case she didn't have her key. And started to make some coffee.

Every time got harder and harder for him to help her. Ever since their sophomore year of high school when she got her first boyfriend. He almost got expelled when he saw her in tears after witnessing her boyfriend cheat on her.

What can he say? It's hard being in love with your best friend.


So what do you think? Kinda short but trust me there will be many chapters!

Until next time!
