Chapter II – The Mega Tutor
"But why!?" the bewildered and enraged Kaoru shouted sarcastically to her parents.
"It's simple, dear, we wanted you to be educated, as well." her furious mother replied.
"But mom! I don't need a tutor!" she reasoned, trying to defend herself back.
"You do, Kaoru." her father firmly uttered. "You have four failing grades this quarter so you do need a tutor."
She complained further from her father's remarks. "Dad, I told you I can handle this all by myself…!"
"No. You must agree with my condition or else you'll stop being a teen idol." Mr. Kamiya desperately said in coercion.
"But dad…!" she still insisted.
Her mother suddenly spoke. "No 'buts', Kaoru, our decision is final."
"Have a tutor or stop your career."
Those seven words seemed to echo in her mind for about an hour now.
She sighed again for the 98th time and looked at the wall clock hanged near her cabinet.
'Why are they so cruel?' she asked herself trying to find some kind of an answer.
A little voice from inside her quickly answered. 'Oh, c'mon! They just care for you!'
'Care? Was that the way they care?' she frowned because of the entertained ideas coming from her mind.
Having no trust in her and stopping her career? Crap.
The watch read 1:35. At two o'clock, the audition will begin.
She better hurry now…
.:'*':.…….:'*':.…….:'*':.…
The radio played a semi-pop-rock music that goes:
Kimi ga suki dato…! Sakebitai! Ashita o Kaetemiyou…
For a while, it sharpened his senses a little as he moved his red car on one side of the parking lot.
It was him, Kenshin Himura, the mega heartthrob of the century.
His hair was highly-tied like the usual and was wearing normal pants and t-shirt.
His purple eyes wandered from the whole place as he stepped out and entered the studio.
His fans were yelling as he entered hastily into the studio entrance.
They were only small in number because of the fact that they were forbidden in the certain studio.
But despite of that, they were a few which couldn't be stopped.
"Kenshinnnn! I love you!!!" almost all of the fans yelled.
He finally overcome the studio entrance and made it into the main building.
There, certainly no fans were allowed and he can be at peace with himself.
Today was the audition for the upcoming annual festival "Star Crash" in which almost all the big stars will perform live on stage.
The biggest event of this fest was the "Portrellines" which is a stage play participated by only famous and brilliant actors and actresses.
Kenshin Himura was interested. The audition was the only way to take him there.
Big stars were now entering the whole studio. The purple-eyed guy was a bit nervous, though he didn't want to admit it.
The famous rock star, Sanosuke Sagara was also auditioning for the Portrellines.
He was still handsome and charmed as usual.
Next in line was the gorgeous and very feminine singer, Megumi.
Her long black hair was the most loveable of all her beautiful features.
Then there was the quiet and spunky, Aoshi. He was a little difficult to talk to, but he looked, nonetheless, calm.
A rather small but cute lady has also a participation. She was Misao Makimachi who was intrigued to have a slight kinda relationship with Aoshi.
A teenage boy also dared to rehearse. Spiky-haired and warm-natured, he was sure to beat others out. It was the highly enthusiatic, Yahiko.
He was accompanied by her not-so-long partner, Tsubame, who now enjoyed a great love team together with him.
Other stars were also roaming the pleasant place including Usagi Tsukino, Soujirou Seta, Ranma Saotome, Kamatari, Son Goku, Yusuke Urameshi, Yumi, Kurama, Gon and many others.
With almost everyone present, the purple-eyed guy strayed for a while longing for a little conversation.
"Kenshin!" the brown-haired Sanosuke Sagara called from afar.
He smiled and walked near him. "Hey, Sano, you're here?"
"Yeah… After all I decided that it wasn't a bad idea to enter here, huh…" he replied as a matter-of-factly.
Kenshin sweatdropped. "So, what made you change your mind?"
He smirked. "Oh, actually… It was… some… little chick out there…! Hahahahah!"
The purple-eyed guy laughed and scratched his neck.
Everybody's attention was caught into the entrance when a lady, tall and young, entered.
The aroma of white plum was smelled all over the place.
This only means one thing… the famous star known as the "Purple Iris" entered the hall.
She was Tomoe Yukishiro. Shy and coy in appearance, and highly appealing in the eyes of the people, she captured all of their glorious attention.
Hearts melted and pressure rose up when a white-haired guy with small eyeglasses, conquered the studio.
He was tall and good-looking, and the whole stardom pay attention on him. He was Tomoe's cute and rather sexy brother, Enishi.
Almost complete, the manager (Kazuma Kuwabara), producer (Shishio-sama) and director (Saitou) of the big festival, entered, holding a piece of paper and a chordless microphone.
Saitou was about to speak when he noticed that the audience was not yet ready to listen.
They pay attention to the sound of footsteps going to the hall.
After a moment, a figure formed and entered the door.
Joy alighted on the faces of most of the actors. They were quite waiting for this lady to come to this audition.
She was a little new in this profession but many adored her for her candor and smartness.
Everybody, inclusive of Kenshin, stared at her with great happiness.
The red-haired guy with purple eyes only smiled and looked at her.
He was actually waiting for this brilliant moment to come in order for him to see his rather pretty movie partner once more.
She gasped for more air, searching for the proper words to say.
'God, Kaoru! You are 7 minutes late! Think of something to say!' her inner self urged her.
"Ah… Ah… I'm… I'm sorry I'm late…" she finally said.
The voice spoke once more. 'Oh, Kaoru! You are so humiliating!'
"Please enter, Ms. Kamiya." the director said.
"Thank you."
She sat down and relaxed.
Two hours had passed. The audition had been going fine.
Those couple of hours were allotted mainly for acting, singing, dancing, portraying… all for the glory of the controversial stage play.
Weird things happen during that time. Yahiko was asked to portray the role of Kurei in the famous series, Flame of Recca.
Megumi was asked to sing "Happy birthday" for 25 times.
Sanosuke was asked to sing Christina Aguilera's Dirty with matching dancing movements.
Tsubame imitated a role of a some-kind drunk lady who lost sanity.
The spunky-head, Aoshi rocked almost everybody's attention when he danced up stage in the tune of Justin Timberlake's Rock Your Body.
As for Misao, she acted like a damsel-in-distress shyly searching for her knight in shining armor.
Tomoe, the purple iris performed a rock performance with head-banging in Avril Lavigne's Losing Grip.
Enishi delineated a gay flirting over the director of the Portrellines. [Oh my! My gorgeous Enishi? A gay?]
The worst things happened to Kaoru Kamiya. She performed a debate monologue with the character of Lupin III on one side and Fujiko on the other.
Kenshin Himura also suffered. Three cruel things were done to him.
First, he sang and danced "Anticipating" of Britney Spears.
Second, he emulated Sakuragi's famous "Genius basketman" song.
Third, and the cruelest of all, he was asked to sing the "Pokemon" themesong.
The artists were full of intimidation, knowing what they did was so unlikely of them.
Good thing, no videos were taken, so no one of their fans would know what happen.
But despite of the bad things that happen, there was also a positive side regarding the audition.
They were also asked to prepare a single performance that will brighten them up.
This makes a true success with the actors and actresses' side for they did show their true talent.
"Okay, artists, actors and actresses…" the director, Saitou, holding a stick of cigarette said.
"Thanks for your participation. The verdict and results will be announced on the next day after tomorrow…"
"…Once more… Thanks for your support and cooperation…"
With that, one by one the different famous artists leave the hall.
Ready to go away, he moved his purple eyes and took a last glance to the pony-tailed teen idol.
.,~-*^_^*-~,.
She waited patiently at the library, whirling and balancing her chemistry book in her index finger.
She sighed and stopped, laying her book on the wooden table.
'Yeah…' she thought. Today she's gonna meet her excellent tutor… duh?'
Who cares in having a tutor… She won't listen to him or her anyway…
'But wait…!' she thought evilly. What if she played evil tricks on him???
'He'll surely backed out…' she smirked and looked at her chemistry book.
Wait again… A thought suddenly sprouted from nowhere. What if he's… kinda… cute? handsome?
No! Stupid! How can a tutor be handsome? They were cruel! With matching glasses and spanking stick!
'How can such a person be cute? Freak!' the voice inside her scolded her.
After so many different thoughts, knocks were heard from the door.
Kaoru prepared herself, ready for the suppose-to-be austere and heartless tutor she will meet.
She stood and stared blankly at the door. "It's open… You can come in."
Her heart beat faster when she saw the door moved. Their old majordomo entered.
"Miss Kaoru Kamiya…" the majordomo began. "Let me introduce you… Mr. Kenshin Himura, your tutor."
Her jaw almost dropped and her eyes almost popped out from her eyelids when a purple-eyed, red-haired guy entered the room.
He was wearing eyeglasses and his hair was lowly-tied unlike the usual.
He was wearing a normal blue, short sleeves unbuttoned polo with dark blue, almost black t-shirt inside.
Black pants and black shoes accompanied his undergarments.
He looked very formal and very respectable in his outfit.
He smiled a little and greeted Kaoru.
"Good morning, Miss Kamiya…"
