The Wedding Planner: Kenshin Style
Chapter 1
~With some people, solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves- Eric Hoffer
______________________________________________________________
She slammed the newspaper on his executive desk and sat down in the hard backed chair before him, taking a sip of her morning green tea. He took the newspaper and read the front page.
"Yukishiro Tomoe, a model with billionaire parents who would do anything for their daughter, especially for her upcoming wedding." Kaoru explained, watching her boss read the newspaper over the rims of her plastic mug. He didn't say anything as he threw the newspaper on top of a pile of papers pushed to the side of his long desk. He swiveled his leather chair, facing it towards the wide glass window that offered a perfect view of Tokyo. A morning fog had settled in, covering the skyscrapers all around, but there was a promise of clear skies as little beams of sunlight shone through. He quietly looked at the window's reflection of his spacious office, already anticipating Kaoru's argument.
"If I nab the Yukishiro account, you have to make me a partner. And you can't turn me down because I bring in more than all the other planners. Times 6!" Kaoru added, leaning forward in her seat. "I was the one who brought the company to where it is today and you know I always attracted the rich corporatist and businesses."
"I started this company on my own and so it will be till the end." He finally said after his usual long pause of thought. Aoshi held his breath as he waited for her rebuttal, there was no way this woman was going to back down. He had been dreading the question every since she came into work with a gleam in her eyes last week. The fire in Kaoru didn't die down but ignited even hotter in annoyance. She smoothly sat back in her chair and crossed her legs, swirling the tea in her mug at a light rhythmic motion.
"Fine, then I guess I'll have to start my own company. I'll have to take Tae's catering service, Fumiko's Flowers, and all those companies that work with ME in making a wedding. Oh, I almost forgot, I'll have to take my assistant, MISAO, as well, since she is, after all, MY assistant. " At the sound of Misao's name Aoshi's chair gave a little creak. Kaoru fought to keep her smile down, she was right on target.
She continued on as Aoshi steadily refused to turn his chair and look at her. "Hm, what kind of lettering should I make? Maybe I'll rent a nice space in Jasmine Lane, where there are lots of wedding shops. People shopping for their wedding will see my company, and, boom, I got flourishing business!" Kaoru ranted, silently counting in her head. 5...4...3...2...1.... He turned his chair.
"You wouldn't." He said in disbelief, though Kaoru thought she could detect a hint of worry. Black bangs slightly covered cold blue eyes that were carefully masked.
"I would and you know it. But by agreeing to a partnership, you'll save me the work of finding my own place. And since I'm such a bleeding heart, I'll throw in a date with Misao as well." Kaoru gave her sweetest smile. Aoshi's eyes nearly bulged at the sound of her assistant's name.
"Why are you throwing her in? Are you implying that I'm in love with her?" He argued. Kaoru shrugged her cashmere-clad shoulders.
"Don't ask me, you're the one who said love."
He gave the first deep sigh that Kaoru, and probably anybody else, had never heard. He leaned back in his chair and covered his eyes with a hand.
"Why do you have to make things so difficult?" He asked her.
"You're the one making it difficult, all it takes is one little yes, a few contracts, some changing of the lettering on the front door, an expansion of my office-"
"Alright, alright." Aoshi cut through in clenched teeth. "But, under one condition."
Kaoru leaned forward again with eager eyes.
"Yes?"
"You get the Yukishiro account and make the wedding perfect, meaning nothing goes wrong, all the rules and guidelines are followed, and there is not a single complaint from the family itself on how it goes." He said slowly and clearly, making sure Kaoru heard every single word.
"Rules? Guidelines? I thought the only rule was to bring in the money." She got up and started walking around, relieving the tension in her legs. She poked at a dying flower on his bookshelf. "I didn't know you liked flowers."
"I don't, Misao bought it for me." He grumbled in a low voice. "I gave you a handbook that has everything you need to know about the company and the rules, didn't you read it?"
"Oh, those booklets you gave everybody last year? No, of course not, it's on the bottom of my desk drawer."
"Go. Read it. Memorize it. Use it."
Dismissal, and Kaoru sauntered out of his office in victory. Misao was waiting right by the door, pretending to look like she had been there on accident. She pounced on Kaoru the second she walked out.
"Well? Well?! Did he say yes?" She asked as they walked to Kaoru's office down the hall.
"On a deal, but I'm not worrying about it. I have it Misao! I'm going to be a partner soon!"
Misao squealed in delight as the two friends began to jump up and down in the privacy of her office. The phone rang and Misao picked it up while Kaoru sat in her chair to begin work. She handed the phone to Kaoru.
"The Yukishiro's!" Misao whispered loudly as Kaoru quickly took the phone from her.
"Hello, Kamiya Kaoru speaking."
"Mrs. Kamiya, "said a lilting voice that emanated a gentle elegance, it caught Kaoru's attention immediately. "This is Yukishiro Tomoe and I was calling to wonder if my parents and I could view one of your weddings to see your work? If it is too much trouble then I completely understand."
"No, it's no trouble at all. It's taking place this evening so you caught me right on time. The wedding will be at Koishikawa Botanical Gardens, right before sunset." Kaoru answered smoothly, unbelievably excited at how things were coming together.
"Thank you so much, and my parents and I will see you there. Ja ne." Tomoe said and the phone went dead. Kaoru gave thumbs up to Misao.
"She'll be coming to see the Togano wedding at the botanical gardens tonight and she'll be blown away! I'm going to head over there right now to oversee the last finishing touch ups, you'll be coming later on?" She asked Misao.
"Yeah, do have any papers or anything you need me to give to Aoshi?" She said hopefully with her palms pressed together. Kaoru shuffled through the neat stack of papers on her desk and took one out, handing it to Misao.
"Here, it's just a note that the last payments for the Togano wedding came today."
Misao snatched the paper and bounced to Aoshi's office with a glowing aura of contentment.
Kaoru shook her head at Misao's antics, how could the girl love that iceman? After taking some slips of messages from her secretary up front, she pushed the glass doors leading outside. Her car was parked on the other side of the street and she carefully looked both sides of the road before walking across. It was usually pretty empty during the afternoons due to lunch and today was no exception. She suddenly tripped and nearly twisted her ankle out of its socket. Grimacing in pain she looked down to see her slipper's heel stuck in the hole of a metal sewer trap.
It would probably be a good idea to get out of the street since lunch hour was almost over...but her shoe! She paid several hundred dollars for it and she had been taught to appreciate a good dollar. She knelt down and tried to pry the heel out but it was wedged tight. There was a rumbling sound growing louder and she tilted her head up to see a car accelerating faster before her, the driver not looking at the front of his car.
*Crap crap crap * Kaoru pulled at her shoes more desperately but it still refused to come out. She looked up again to see the metal fender looming closer and closer and the reflecting lights captured her eyes. Something hard hit her and she went soaring over the asphalt only to hit the cement hard with the crack of her head. She clenched her eyes tight at the thudding pain as she yelped at the impact of hitting the flat ground and having something soft and warm land on her. The throbbing of her head made her open her eyes to stare into stunning lavender orbs. She could only say one thing.
"Itai..." She muttered at the beautiful eyes. It twinkled with worry and she was swirling in their unbelievable depths. They were pulling her in and she was making no effort to stop them.
"Can you move your legs and arms?" A soft voice uttered almost far away.
"Mmm." Kaoru wiggled her toes and fingers wearily.
"How's your head? Does it ache?" The voice asked, seeming even farther away now.
"Mmm." She answered as she gave another grimace at her head.
"Are you breathing alright?" The voice asked again.
"I...wouldn't know...you're on top...of me." She said, having a hard time forming her words.
He shifted his weight and the warmth that had enveloped her was gone.
"I'm sorry." The voice was embarrassed but the eyes showed nothing but that enchanting worry. *Purple...such a pretty color...who has purple eyes these days? *
"Are you disoriented? Feeling dizzy? Out of place?" The voice kept asking.
"My shoe...where's my shoe?" She asked faintly, hoping her shoes fared better than her.
"You're holding it." The voice held some emotion now, almost at the brink of laughing. Kaoru squeezed her right hand and felt a smooth object in it, her shoe. "Are you feeling disoriented at all?" The voice repeated.
"You saved...my shoe." She added before feeling a strange drowsiness come over her.
"You're disoriented." The voice was worried again but everything slipped away into a comfortable darkness and she felt safe for the first time in years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Something cold pressed into her ears while she felt a cloth being wrapped around her upper arm. She gave a moan and pushed the cold object in her ears away while shaking her arm.
There was a giggle in front of her face and she opened her eye to look into the eyes of a young girl. She gave a squeak and scampered to the foot of the bed, wait, bed? Kaoru opened both eyes to see smiling animals on the walls and grinning Pokemon on her bed sheets. There were two girls in the room, the smaller one had two short pigtails while the taller one had two braids in the front of her face with the rest of her brown hair was down. They looked apprehensively at Kaoru from behind the metal bars. Kaoru gave a gentle smile at them.
"Hi."
"Hello." They both chimed and the ice was broken as the girls smiled at her.
"Where am I?" Kaoru asked as she looked around the room again. There were more stuffed animals and toys than she could count.
"The hospital." A voice rang out softly, Kaoru turned her gave to see a short redheaded man standing at the doorway in a white coat. He had the same soft voice and the same lavender eyes she remembered. The two girls ran over to him, each grabbing a hold of his leg.
"Ken-ni!" The girls sang out happily as he struggled to walk towards Kaoru with the girls on his legs. He had a clipboard tucked under his arm and he pulled it out, flipping a few papers over.
"I took some x-rays and cat scans and you appear to be fine, nothing but a minor headache which can be quickly fixed with some Tylenol, Kaoru-dono." He tucked the clipboard back under his arm and reached down to pulled the girls from his legs. They giggled and ran out of the room. "Please excuse them, they just love meeting the new patients."
"Ano-how do you know my name?' She asked as she tried to sit up.
"You know, I've never met anybody who alphabetized their credit cards." He commented with a chortle as he helped her. "Or someone who would risk their life for a shoe." His sure fingers gripped her shoulders as she pushed up with her hands. She shrugged off his hands.
"It was a good shoe." She said gruffly on the defense of her precious accessory. He only gave another chortle as he sat back in a chair near the bed.
"So, Kamiya Kaoru, how are you feeling?" He asked.
"Wouldn't you know? You're the doctor." She looked at him incredulously. He only answered with a serene smile.
"I usually treat children, and since you are obviously not one." she looked down at her hospital uniform, suddenly very aware that she had absolutely nothing on.
"You didn't...change me, did you?" She asked him warily, her hands ready to grab something to throw at him. She was rewarded with a blush and eased down her hands.
"Of course not, I would never even consider the thought-," He stammered.
"It's alright. Thank you, for helping me that is. And for saving my shoe." She added with a joking grin that lit up her face. He was smiling back when there was a crashing thud and loud apologies. Misao flew into the doorway with her hair everywhere and with wide blue eyes.
"Kaoru-chan!" She leaped towards the bed but was caught by the doctor before she could jump on the already wincing Kaoru. Misao gave a confused look at the man, how had he gotten there so fast? He placed her back on the ground.
"I'm sorry, but she has a few bruised ribs and I didn't want you to make it any worse." He explained. Misao ignored him but latched onto Kaoru's hand with teary eyes.
"Kaoru-chan! I heard about your near death experience and the man who had nearly cracked your head open!"
Kaoru could feel the man cringe at Misao's words.
"Ah, Misao, he didn't almost crack my head open, he saved me...and my shoe." She defended the man. Misao didn't listen to her and whirled around, wagging her finger at his face.
"Baka Kenshin! You need to treat my friends like glass! Not blocks of stone!" She berated him and he bowed his head slightly. "Sure, you saved her from being squashed but you almost split open her head too!" She went on as his head bowed a little lower in shame.
"Eh...Misao?" Kaoru called out and her assistant turned her head. "You know him?" She pointed at the doctor.
"Sure, he's Yukishiro's fiancé." Misao said nonchalantly. "And my baka friend from college."
She glared at the doctor again who only gave a light shrug at the two girls.
