So I was going to wait a week to post this seeing as I just had surgery but mentally I'm feeling fine so I deciding to keep writing because I'm a little (or a lot) excited about this idea. I appreciate the review from Shab, thank you for the good feedback and hopefully you are excited for this story to progress too! This story is for your, the reader's, entertainment but I would greatly appreciate your feedback, good and bad so please review!:)
I forgot this last time–I do not own the RK characters sadly but the story line is my own!
Chapter 2
Running away wasn't going to work. Okita said his schooling was too important, but what's more important: love or education? I guess we have different answers. I haven't talked to him since he said that and now here I was standing on the train platform, waiting for my transportation to the middle of nowhere.
I looked at my watch again. I sighed. Fifteen minutes late. I could've used this extra time to stuff more clothes into my suitcase. Who knows what I'll need in the forsaken town I'm headed to. I spotted a train coming down the railway. Finally.
The train came to a stop in front of me and the masses of people started to get off. I tapped my foot impatiently. Eventually they started letting new passengers on and I lugged my suitcase to the door. I wasn't sure how to actually lift the suitcase seeing as it had half my wardrobe but eventually a train employee reached for my bag and led me inside to my seat.
After waiting for the rest of the passengers to get on and the tickets to be checked, the train slowly began to move, taking me away to the most boring summer of my life yet.
As the train pulled up to the mostly empty station, I saw a short girl bouncing with excitement. Ah Misao… how do you still have the energy of a three year old? I sighed and gathered my bag to get off the train. I barely took one step off the train before I was attacked by the small bundle of energy and we landed on the ground.
I heard laughing as I got up and I looked down to see Misao practically rolling on the ground in laughter. How could she find this funny? Didn't she see how she scuffed up my jeans and now I have an ugly scrape on my elbow! Why couldn't she just grow up already?
Still laughing, Misao called for me. "Kaoru! It's so good to finally see you again! I was always hoping you would come visit and then gramps got a phone call from your dad saying you were going to stay all summer and I was so excited. Gramps said if I didn't calm down you would want to leave as soon as you got here but I think he was just trying to get me to stop asking questions about when you would get here. Come help me up!"
She's even more long winded than I remember. I eventually offered my hand though I knew she had the energy to jump up herself. She grabbed my hand and my bag with the other and started dragging me toward the small buildings of the town I was going to be staying in. Misao felt the need to briefly introduce me to every person we passed. I barely had the time to wave before she was dragging me off to the next person.
We finally made it to her grandfather's inn and she led me to my room. I plopped down on the bed, thankful I was off me feet for the first time after stepping of the train. Someone called for Misao shortly after and she skipped out of the room. I laid back on my bed and thought about how long this summer was going to seem.
I'm not sure if I like how this chapter turned out so I might go back and edit it later. Do you think I got Misao's personality right? Anyway I hope you review! See ya!
