Himura Kawaii
Chapter 2
Disclaimers apply..Blah blah.. RK's not mine.. Hail the Great Watsuki- sama... I'm just a poor high school stud..... Don't sue me! ^_^
Kaori arrived in school just before the bell rang. Her family driver dropped her off since she couldn't use her car today. It was being fixed. She collected her stuff from her locker and hurried off to homeroom.
Kaori is a popular girl, the most popular girl in Tokyo Private School to be specific. And why not? She's very pretty and her beauty is skin-deep. Sky-blue eyes delicately fringed with think curling eyelashes that shone with enthusiasm and eagerness, perfect china-doll face, smooth porcelain skin, cherry red lips and highlighted long raven hair that's soft as silk.. yes, that is Kaori. Her face gave out a feeling of warmth and welcome despite of her perfect beauty. And then there was also her perfectly slim figure and long legs. Even in uniform, she always stands out. 16 and 5'4, she's the captain of the Kendo Club, the class president, an A student and a Habitat for Humanity volunteer.
Every guy in school drools at the sight of her. Who wouldn't? She's beautiful, intelligent, sexy, smart, really nice and she knows a sport she excels in. Boys love her, girls loathe her, really. They envy her and are intimidated with the fact that she doesn't give a damn about guys.... she just considers them as pals. Guys want her and girls want to be like her. And the weird thing is, she doesn't care.
This morning was no different. Whistling boys follow her way, and evil dagger looks are directed toward her. But she doesn't seem to mind. She just walks and smiles politely at those who greet her-which is a lot.
Kuso.. at this rate, I'll never get to class in time! Kaori complained silently between gritted teeth. Do I have to go through this everyday?!
Thankfully, when she reached her classroom, the teacher wasn't there yet. She looked around for her friends and waved at them to come over. She has two girlfriends, Meimi and Maki.
Meimi is sort of a flirt but she's really nice. She has a boyfriend in class named Shinosuke. She's sophisticated and mature while her boyfriend is more like the gangster type and a slacker. Kaori's been friends with her since their freshmen year. Meimi's more like Kaori's elder sister who looks out for her.. she also stands up for her when girls harass Kaori.
Maki, on the other hand, is Meimi's complete opposite. She is a tomboy looking girl, with long braided hair and turquoise eyes. She's kinda short for her age and is often mistaken for a kid or just another freshman. Unlike Meimi who has a steady boyfriend, Maki somewhat has a nonexistent relationship with an upperclassman that they are friends with. Maki is so in love with the cool and mysterious Arashi who'd rather meditate than talk. Nonetheless, it is very clear that Arashi also has feelings for Maki.
"Hiya Kaori!!" Meimi cooed. She was brushing her tresses distractedly, while Maki was talking excitedly about something or someone Kaori presumed could only be Arashi- the girl has hearts in her eyes!
"Hi guys what's up?" Kaori sat down her usual seat in front of Meimi and Maki.
"Wellllll", Maki thought for a moment "rumor has it that a new guy is gonna be here in class."
"And, get this, he's filthy rich and well mannered!!" Meimi emphasized, fox ears sprouting out. Clearly an idea was forming in her mischievous head.
They look at her and Maki reminded "Remember Shino? That gangster boyfriend of yours?".
Meimi argued "Of course I do! I was just stressing his finer points!" "ohohohohohohohoho!!" ::fox ears::
"Oh yeah? Well, as long as he's got nothing to do with me, I really don't care." Kaori replied, yawning. She was obviously bored about the topic.
"Oh Kaori, chill out!" Maki said "It's not like-- Omigod......." Maki wasn't able to finish her sentence.
The whole classroom became quiet as a handsome guy with red spiked hair, somewhat regular in height and very slender features- almost like that of a lady's- walked in, obviously conscious of the stares of approval, mostly from girls, shot his way.
The girls cooed and he smiled awkwardly, although he still looks handsome in the lopsided grin, the girls almost fainted with ecstasy.
Kaori stared and stared hard.
"Th-tha-that's the guy..." she muttered under her breath "Oh go-gods.."
She couldn't breathe and she needed air. "N-n-no.."
Suddenly she saw the room spinning, voices fading and she was drowning.. drowning into the deepest violet eyes she had ever seen.
Kenji felt so embarrassed that the girls were paying so much attention to him. He had just walked in the room when everyone grew quiet and suddenly he wasn't sure if he was in the right room. Girls giggled and whispered, making him blush deeply. Sure he knows that he's good looking.. but not THIS much!
He noticed a beautiful girl seating, looking oblivious to her surroundings. Suddenly, as if being hit by a jolt of lightning, he remembered her. She's the girl in my dreams!! Kenji thought.
The world around him spun and he was feeling dizzy all of a sudden. She looked up and their eyes met......
"Oh my god..." Kenji said almost whispering, " It's her...."
He felt the connection pass through his veins. Kenji walked toward her but was cut in when the professor came in and asked the class to settle down putting an arm over Kenji. Kenji wasn't able to tear his eyes off her.. She was blushing and her lips were paling at the same time. As if she too was also experiencing the same thing he was.
"Masaka" Kenji whispered. "Masaka"
"Konnichiwa minna" the professor said. "We have a new student in Tokyo Private School Junior Pilot Class. His name is Himura Kenji of the famous Himura clan who are known businesspeople all over the world." He paused to smile at Kenji urging him to say something.
When Kenji didn't say a thing, the professor continued, not baffled. "He's from Kyoto and he's gonna be studying here now. Since he's new, I want you class to be gentle.. be easy on him. Girls," he wagged a finger at them, "please don't be too aggressive to Himura-san and guys, please give the guy a break, ne?"
"Hai sensei" the girls cooed again.
Kaori was still looking at Kenji, shocked.
"Kaori-san, since you're on top of this class, I'd like Kenji to seat beside you and I'd like you to be his personal guide and tutor for a few weeks. Would that be fine with you Kaori-san?"
But Kaori was nowhere near listening; she just gaped at Kenji, unable to take his eyes off him.
"Um... Kaori-san, are you listening?" the Prof. was peering into Kaori's eyes which were still locked with Kenji's own violet ones.
"Uh...h-hai Prof." Kaori tried to smile at Kenji and obviously failed. The girls grunted and ranted but the two seemed oblivious. They just stared at each other and the whole world melted away.
"E-eh-hem" the Prof. interjected "I believe if you two could stop staring at each other for a minute, you could actually get to know each other!" The Prof. teased "that would be a whole lot better than staring at each other the whole day, wouldn't it?!"
Kaori looked down blushing and got her things as quickly as her trained arms could. Kenji did the same too and murmured to her
"Uh.. Maybe we should uh get out of here.." Kenji smiled warmly, talking to her for the first time.
"Yeah I know" Kaori replied without looking at him, fearing that she might not be able to tear her gaze once more.
She led the way outside the room, fully aware that glares were following their way.
Once they were outside, Kenji decided to introduce himself. "I'm Himura Kenji" Kenji bowed to her and smiled. Then after a moment's hesitation, he spoke up again. "Gomen ne for gaping at you.... It's just that...that...that..." he couldn't find the right words to express what's inside. He looked up, shyness overcoming his handsome face. "Umm...you look.." Unable to find the perfect words to suit Kaori, he continued. "Kirei... simply kirei." he finished, looking down, obviously blushing.
Kaori wasn't doing any better too. "Uh...I-I'm Kamiya Kaori..." she began, "Arigatou for the compliment.... I.. uh ......I... don't know what to ....uh... say, really".
Kaori was used to compliments.. She hears them everyday, but what is with her today?! Or what is with this guy that makes her a complete idiot?! "Umm... maybe we should start with the tour, ne?" Kaori offered, trying to make him more comfortable. or maybe it's you you're trying to ease! her thoughts piped in. Stop it. Kaori commanded to herself.. Focus on him and ask your stomach not to go queasy! .
"Sure, that would be nice... where do we start?" Kenji smiled, inquiring.
I wish he'd stop smiling, I wouldn't be able to concentrate at all Kaori thought God he's so kawaii!! How much longer can I take this!?. She composed herself and pushed her unruly emotions aside and spoke. "Well, maybe we'd stop at the library first, since we'll be spending loads of time there, we should get familiarized with it, ne?" Kaori couldn't help but talk fast.. If she didn't, she'll surely drown into those violet eyes again..
"Hai" Kenji agreed, looking straight at Kaori and grinned. "Let's go then".
After 4 hours of touring and walking around, introductions and history lectures, Kenji and Kaori were exhausted. They went to the cafeteria to eat.
"Daijoubu ka, Kaori?" Kenji asked, his brow wrinkling in concern.
"Hai hai. You don't have to worry, I'm just a little flushed from all that talking" Kaori was pleased with his genuine concern He just met you and he's worried about you! she told herself happily.
"Maybe we should stop and rest for a while.... You look tired already" Kenji said, obviously worried about her.
"Oh, it's nothing.. I've just been having dreams lately and I can't seem to sleep at all" Huh?! What did I just say?! Oh no.. now he must think I'm a complete whacko! Kaori was shocked that she was so open to this stranger, but somehow, she felt safe with him.
"Oh, I see." Kenji understood. "Try not to think hard.... I'm having dreams too. I guess its part of the adjustments...," Kenji said.
"Yeah, I know." Kaori commented, curious that they were both having dreams. Was it the same dreams? She thought. Was he the swordsman? Is she the girl? I don't know Kaori thought.. I don't know anymore. "Let's eat and stop worrying now, shall we?" Kaori offered, steering the subject away.
"Hai, if you say so". Kenji agreed, but somehow, deep within him, he knew that something has begun... something that has to do with forever.
