*Chapter 1, Kaoru's News*
A single tear rolled down her face as she stared out her rooms window. Mina's face red with anger and hate, yet her heart filled with pain and sorrow. She thought that Kenshin was right for her but she was wrong, even though they were great friends he still mourned for Lita's love, not hers. After longing so long for his love, which today she had tried to express to him for the first time, she was denied and was told that he didn't feel for her as she did him.
(Flashback)
The sun beat down on the highschool as Mina was heading home from school. The sky blue and the grass a shimmering green. Mina looked over to the boys locker area and she caught Kenshin's eye, she smiled, shrugging and walked over to him, his looks to her like heaven to her. Mina waved a little."Hi Kenshin."
"Hi ya Mina, how are you doing?" Kenshin smiled as his long red pony tail waved gently in the breeze, outside in the sun.
"Oh, I'm fine." Mina pulled her hair back behind her ear. "Uh, Kenshin, can I ask you something?" Her face turning a little blushing red.
Kenshin's face was a little confused. "Yeah sure."
"This might sound a little weird but do you have a girlfriend?" Mina asked a little nervously her fingers shaking. She couldn't believe what she had just said.
"Uh no Mina, but I'm not looking right now.." Kenshin's voice trailed off as he looked behind Mina seeing Lita. Mina blinked and turned around, seeing Lita pass by as Kenshin's face shined. To Mina, obviously she knew what he really felt. She shook her head.
"Kenshin, back to earth! Kenshin!" Mina grew a little angry.
"Oh sorry." Kenshin snapped back into reality and put his attention back to Mina. "What was I talking about?"
"Never mind."
(Mina's room)
Mina's angry fist slammed against the wall, as the tears of frustration streamed down her cheeks now. Outside no one could see her since it was dusk and the sun was setting, although the bright colors of red, orange and yellow shine in the beautiful night sky, she was still upset and felt ugly. A quiet knocking was heard on her door bedroom door.
"Mina? Are you alright? It's me Hilde, can I come in?"
"Just a sec." Mina ran over to her bathroom mirror and quickly wiped her red face with cold water, then opened the door. They greeted and eventually, knowing it was coming, Mina explained everything to Hilde. Hilde holding her self control as Mina curled up in her already soaked pillows, crying.
"How could it be not right! Why me Hilde? Why does it have to be Lita!?" Questions like these ran in and out of Mina's mouth between the gasps for air and the noises of her sick stomach. Hilde didn't have all the answers but decided to stay that night to comfort Mina and tomorrow they would continue on as usual and meet the others at school, although Mina didn't this she would make it through that night, since this pain was so strong and her affections so down.
During the night there were many trips to the toilet and many gagging sounds. Mina was sick from disgust with herself. Hilde could only try to make her feel well, give her medicine and stay by her side. Mina was not in the mood to do anything at all that night or the next day but she knew life must go on and it is fright that takes one death but it is courage to live life. Mina went lost about 3 pounds that night and Hilde swore she must be getting physically sicker with the medicine she had given her. Hilde stood by her side till Mina finally fell asleep that night.
At school the next day Mina showed no expression on her face, although acted alright when asked questions. The sun was shining, the sky was a bright blue and not one cloud in the sky. Hilde and Mina meet up with Amy, Kaoru and Lita in 1st block. The girls sat down around in their normal spots when the first bell rang. All the tables in the room were soon filled with various students and Mr. Tomeo took roll as Duo and Sanosuke dashed into the room late again for class again.
Sanosuke and Duo gave the usual reasons for being late and took their seats in the class room. Sanosuke, in his usual white outfit with the black "bad" sign on his back, sat next to Zech's and Mina in the 3rd row, Duo, with his black outfit and little cap, sat next to Kenshin and Lita in the 2nd. Mina gazed over at Kenshin very often that block and was thankful she only had him one out of the 4 blocks she had in the day. She however saw Kenshin gazing at Lita, repeatedly, who didn't seem to notice. Mina started to drift off to sleep when Sanosuke nudged her in the side.
"Wake up!"
Mina blinked and fell out of her chair and onto the hard floor. Rubbing her head she stood up, while the other kids were laughing. "Miss Aino please take your seat!" Mr. Tomeo snapped, he wasn't about to mess around with wasting time and she took her seat immediately, trying to fix her hair back into its usual red bow.
"Nice one." Sanosuke said trying not to laugh.
"Yeah funny Sano-chan." Mina knew it was funny as hell but did not feel like laughing that day.
"I can't help myself." Sanosuke smiled like as if he were a angel.
"Ya, ya I know." Mina sighed
Mr. Tomeo gazed over at Sanosuke and Mina and then continued writing their homework on the board. "Something wrong Mina?" Sanosuke looked at the board but talked to Mina, one of his friends.
"Yeah I'm alright." Mina glanced over to Kenshin.
"I highly doubt that." Sanosuke looked over Kenshin's way. "What ya looking at?"
"Nothing, Don't worry about it." Mina turned back to the board.
"Mina!.Sanosuke! Stopped the chatting immediately!" Mr. Tomeo yelled practically as his face was growing red with anger. "Now pay attention!"
Mina and Sanosuke laughed a little and Mina sweat dropped as the bell finally rang. She had to hurry and get to the gym for P.E. class. Mina had P.E. only with Recca and Kaoru and everyone else was just pretty much other students.
Miss. Kirisawa was the teacher this year and she loved to make the kids Kick Box. Mina hated kick boxing and wanted to skip. Her kicks her low and her punches couldn't hurt anything it seemed that day. Recca turned over to face Mina. "Mina what's wrong with ya? You must be really weak if that's the best you can do."
Mina stopped and turned to face Recca. "What did you say I was?"
Recca grinned and explained. "Man, it must be true if you didn't hear it the first time."
Mina grew with rage. "Recca, are asking for a death wish?"
"Maybe I am." Recca told her playfully.
Mina cracked her knuckles. "You really don't know who you're messing with!"
Recca smirked. "Oh I think I know I'm dealing with. A weakling!"
"That's it!" Mina ran over and slammed Recca first into the wall and then onto the floor of the gym. "You bastard!" Mina was sitting practically on Recca's stomach, sending repeated blows at his face. Recca squinted in pain, trying not to scream, as Kaoru and the other students along with Miss. Kirisawa. Kaoru screamed. "Mina what are you doing!" While Miss. Kirisawa tried to break up the fight. Recca's nose was bloody and he had 2 black eyes. The blood dripping on the hard gym floor and the other students gasping in laughter.
"Please Mina stop! I'm sorry! Stop!!!!" Recca begged, as he couldn't take it anymore. He could see his own blood on the floor below them. His head in enormous pain. He thought he would have a black out.
"Miss Aino! Stop this immediately!" Miss. Kirisawa yelled at Mina, trying to put some sense into her.
Mina couldn't stop, she looked down at Recca and kept sending punches at his face and body. She was pissed and needed to let out the pain and Recca was the victim. "So how you like this weakling now!" Miss Kirisawa grabbed Mina by her shoulders and tried to pull her off and Mina finally gave in and Mina told Recca underneath her. "Who's the weakling now? You couldn't even take those. You think you're such a big shot. You suck ass Recca!"
Miss. Kirisawa pulled Mina off Recca and sent her to the principals office. Walking down the halls Mina looked at her bloody hands with Recca's blood on them. Her knuckles were blue. She knew though she had won. In the office Mina and Mr. Arthemis had a long lecture about how violence wasn't needed in schools. Mina was sent home with detentions for a week, starting Monday. And couldn't attend school for the rest of the day.
At Mina's locker, before she headed home, Mina looked over and sighed at what she saw. Hilde ran over to meet up with Mina to see how she was. Mina sighed. "Just look." Mina pointed over to Kenshin locker. Kenshin was talking with Lita, and she looked very happy, smiling brightly.
Turning around suddenly, Mina's head to the ground, she ran straight into Zech's, falling backwards back onto her butt. "Oh boy." Mina said under her breath. Zech's looked up from his book and reached out his hand to help Mina up off the sidewalk.
"Sorry about that, I should watch where I'm going." Zech's smiled a little.
"Nahh, It's ok." Mina shrugged and walked on with Hilde.
Hilde turned to Mina on the road on the way home, after many minutes of silence. "You know he's kinda cute."
"Who Zech's?" Mina blinked as they walked on.
"Yeah duh! Didn't you see the way he was looking at ya?" Hilde giggled like a little girl.
"No not really, my mind was somewhere else." Mina sighed.
"God, he's gorgeous!" Hilde look up into the sky trying to act a little humorous as to cheer Mina up.
"Hilde, one word, Darien." Mina pointed out with a smirk on her face. Hilde and Darien had been going out for 3 months. Suddenly they heard a cry from behind them.
"Hey you guys wait up!" Kaoru was running down the road to meet them. Her black hair up in the usual pony tail and the white outfit on, they could tell she had just finished at the Dojo with Recca or Duo. "You guys I have to tell you something!" Mina and Hilde stopped in their tracks as their friend panted and tried to catch her breath, as her red face meant something happened. "Guess what happened at the Dogo!"
Mina and Hilde looked at each other and laughed. "You got hot and heavy with Recca didn't ya?"
Kaoru's eyes opened up wide. "NO! It wasn't Recca, something happened with Duo."
Mina and Hilde's eyes opened up wide as the said in unison. "Duo Maxwell?"
Kaoru laughed and smiled. "Yes Duo-Chan." After a long pause Kaoru smiled. "He asked me out!" Kaoru felt like she was floating on thin air as Mina and Hilde's jaws dropped 10 feet to the ground. Kaoru laughed and after they all regained self control, Kaoru said that her and Duo had a date this Friday and they wanted Mina and Hilde to join them with their dates.
"My date?!?" Mina blinked. "I don't got one."
Hilde grinned. "Oh I do, I'll get Darien to go and don't worry we'll set ya up."
"That's not to reassuring to me!" Mina opened her eyes wide as Kaoru and Hilde laughed. Mina knew that Friday was going to be one weird night. Mina went to bed that Thursday night wondering. How they would get her a date within one night? Tomorrow night she would go on a blind date with someone? This was a little funny yet confusing to Mina as she drifted into slumber.
