Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin
Kenshin was raving mad at Enishi. Sure, he was rich, handsome and all that, but that doesn't mean he has to push everyone around. Especially Kaoru. He was surprised when she had the guts to tell him off, especially when no one dared to, not even Aoshi himself. Kenshin was angry at him and the others for not stating who Kaoru was, Aoshi's step-sister, even though he didn't like her all that much.
Sano patted him on the back, "Kenshin, daijabou ka?" Kenshin nodded his head. Sano was his best friend, yet surprisingly, Kenshin could never tell him what he feels about Kaoru and his hatred towards Enishi. He wasn't even sure what he felt for Kaoru was real or was he just doing it because his first love, Tomoe, had rejected him.
When they reached the cafeteria, Kenshin just sat down on another table without the others and didn't bother what they were saying. He took out his cell phone and began to look for Kaoru's cell phone number. Then he caught himself.he didn't have her number. Sano caught his awkwardness. He finished his conversation with Enishi and pulled a chair beside his.
"Kenshin, tell me what's on your mind," said Sano. Kenshin smiled at him. Sano was usually the tough guy, the one that girls fall for, after Aoshi. He had a tough exterior, but Kenshin knew he was a caring creature inside. Kenshin sighed, "What's HE doing here? I thought he won't return till next week,"
"He obviously changed his mind. Why? Are you bothered by him? It's been very long since.the incident," Sano asked, whispering at the last part of his sentence. Kenshin shook his head, "No. It's just.why does he have to pick on everyone?"
"Because I can," a voice behind them boomed. They turned around and saw Enishi with a smirk. Kenshin's eyes were turning gold. He was starting to hate him more, friend or not. Enishi had always given him a bad vibe, with his womanizing ways and excessive splurging. He acted like he was king of the world and the others were only disgusting lowly animals.
"Are you worried about that girl?" Enishi asked. Kenshin looked down and muttered, "She's Aoshi's step-sister. You shouldn't threaten her like that." Enishi smirked again, "Okay, I won't do anything to her, but I'll do something better, I'll ask her out." Kenshin's violet orbs widened. When Enishi asks out a girl, that just means a one night stand. Whether she likes it or not, Enishi will take advantage of her.
Soujirou began to laugh nervously, "Are you sure? This isn't any ordinary girl; this is Aoshi's step-sister!" Aoshi, who was very quiet till now, spoke up, "Enishi, please don't."
"Nani? Relax guys. I'll be gentle," Enishi laughed. Kenshin stood up immediately, making his chair screech. All eyes were on him then.
"What? Didn't you hear me? Kaoru is Aoshi's step-sister!" Kenshin said. Sano held him back. He knew he had a violent side, but he never knew that it would come out for any girl besides Tomoe. Enishi laughed again, making hair stand on Sano's neck,"Doushite, Kenshin? Do you like this.this Kaoru? What makes her so special? She's a plain girl, no beauty, no figure at all. She's one of those experimental things, like a day old sushi dish you'd been dared to try. And she dared me. So if you're against me from having a bit of fun, you'll have to leave this group. We don't need spoilers like you."
Kenshin didn't say a word. He couldn't while he was seething mad. And if he left anyway, he'd never show his face to school again. Enishi would have made sure of that. Why, Kami-sama, why does he have to be so cowardly?
By the end of school, everyone had heard of Enishi and Kenshin's argument. Everyone except Kaoru, herself. The others began to whisper behind her back more frequently, giving her sorry or disgusted looks. Kaoru was very curious towards everyone's reaction when she walked into a room. She began to look for Misao and finally found her on one of the benches. Kaoru gave her a quick greeting, "Misao, what's going on? Why is everyone staring at me? Is there something wrong with what I wore? Is there something on my face? What?"
"You haven't heard? Oh my god, Kaoru! You've been the headlines here since lunch!"
"Nani?"
"I heard that you and Enishi had a quarrel and he wanted revenge. Is that true?"
"Well, yeah, he knocked me down and he hardly had any manners! So I began to tell him that and Aoshi and the rest were there but nobody did a thing! So when Kenshin told him to stop, he told me that he'll get me and left. But what bad could he do, huh?"
"Kaoru no baka! Everyone fears this guy and you go up and challenge him!"
"Nani? Why do they fear him?"
"He's family's pretty powerful."
"So?"
"He can get you killed! But there's something worse, Kaoru. Kenshin had quarreled with him today. And the quarrel was about you! You nearly split his group up! You're lucky Kenshin didn't leave, or else a mob will be running after you now!"
"So Enishi will still be running after me, ne?"
"How right you are, bye Kaoru!" Misao said, quickly gathering her books and sprinting the other way. Kaoru looked at her silhouette in confusion. She looked to her left and saw Enishi coming towards her.
"COWARD! SOME FRIEND YOU ARE!" Kaoru yelled after Misao. Enishi placed a carnation in front of her face and grinned.
"Nani?" Kaoru asked. Enishi's grin got wider, "I'm sorry for knocking you down, it was rude of me." Kaoru looked the other way, "You think I'll forgive you like that? You embarrassed me in front of Ke-Aoshi."
"I'm really sorry. Would you go out with me tonight?" Enishi asked with a sly grin. Kaoru looked up at his eyes behind his dark glasses. Instantly, she knew he wasn't sincere, "No." She stood up and left as quickly as she can. Enishi was fuming, "You bitch! You don't know what you're missing! I won't give up!"
Kaoru ran up to her sanctuary and dropped her bag. Why in the world do these things happen to her? What did she do wrong? She held back her angry tears, knowing there was no use in crying. She leaned to the edge and began to shout, "I *HATE* YOU YUKISHIRO ENISHI! AND THE REST OF YOU! I HATE YOU, AOSHI! I HATE YOU, SANO! I HATE YOU, SOUJIROU! I HATE YOU, KENSHIN! I HATE YOU ALL!"
"Are you done yet?" a cold voice said behind her. Kaoru turned around and saw Kenshin staring right at her. She could tell he had been there for a while, as he was leaning on the wall, staring with amusement written on his face. Seeing this, Kaoru turned back angrily, "Shouldn't you be with your friends?"
"Yeah, I should. But I chose to be here, because I promised to, that I did," Kenshin replied.
"Why even bother?"
"Because I like you,"
Kaoru's eyes widened. She turned to Kenshin. He was closer than his position before, surprising Kaoru. She looked down to hide her blush. Kenshin smiled inwardly. 'Kawaii,' he thought.
"I hope you're not playing me like Enishi did," Kaoru said, concentrating on her shoes. Kenshin lifted up her chin, making her look directly into his eyes, "I'm not."
Kaoru smiled, making Kenshin's stomach do a flip flop. He stuck out his hand, encouraging Kaoru to take it. Puzzled, Kaoru put her hand in his. Kenshin climbed on the ledge and sat, helping Kaoru do the same. They sat there in silence, enjoying each other's company.
Unknown to the couple, Megumi was behind them, videotaping. A smirk formed on her cherry lips as she cooked up a plan in her mind. She laughed when an idea came to her. 'This will help Enishi-san for sure,' she smirked.
