Chapter Twenty-One Kaoru
Disclaimers apply..Blah blah.. RK's not mine.. Hail the Great Watsuki- sama... I'm now a college stud, but still poor!!..... Don't sue me! ^_^
Everyone dreaded Monday, but like the other days of the week, reliable Monday came uninvited.
6:00: Mitsuki rouses Kaoru but Kaoru refuses to get up and go to school. Mistuki threatens to tell Kaoru's mom.
6:05: Kaoru gets up grumbling. Gets in the shower with her clothes still on. Brushes teeth without toothpaste and puts on a white sock on the left foot and a navy one on the other.
6:40: Notices the mismatched socks and changes quickly. Grabs backpack and starts stuffing everything in- laptop, cellphone that's still plugged to the charger, Discman, a notebook and a pen that doesn't have ink, underwear, make-up kit, a soggy shirt and Kazuki, her hundred year-old teddy bear. Forgets to close top buttons of her blouse. Tries to get out of her room but forgetting to open the door.
7:00: Gets in her Civic and attempts to insert key. Finds out after 2 minutes that she got the wrong key. Bangs her head on the wheel.
7:30: Arrives at Tokyo Private High School. Everyone stares at her because she looks terrible, with her long wet hair sticking to her unbuttoned blouse and her cleavage showing. Kaori gets paranoid and starts to think everyone knows how awful she is, what with Kenji and Arashi.
7:38: Ducks in the classroom and sits down. Stares at the board so as not to look at everyone else, especially at the seat beside her, which is Kenji's seat.
7:40: Her classmates look at her strangely but don't say anything.
7:43: Kenji arrives looking equally frazzled. Kaori's blood freezes and she manages to look down at her desk. She notices the doodles in it for the first time. Watches Kenji from the corner of her eye.
7:44: Kenji stands awkwardly at the doorway, looking like he was about to puke. Kaori can't stand it any longer. Is he going to sit beside me like he used to or is he going to avoid me altogether? Kaori thinks and turns her head to look at Kenji. Quickly turns around upon seeing him staring at her. Students start to hush. 7:45: Kaori hears someone plop beside her, feels really humiliated beside Kenji. He must really hate me.. yet he is so kind for he still sits beside me.
7:46: Kaori feels someone tap her. Turns around to face Kenji with his bangs down and points slowly to her chest. She looks down and turns beet red as she fumbles with the buttons, muttering an incoherent thanks.
7:47: Kaoru looks at the ceiling while Kenji looks at his shoes. Classmates stare at them dumbly.
7:48: Kaori panics. Where is Professor?!
7:55: Warning bell rings. Students flock inside the rooms. Kaori notices Maki's empty seat on her other side. Does she know?
7:58: Meimi comes in and looks at Kaori then at Kenji then back again. Sits far back.
8:30: TA comes in and announces the professor won't be coming. Class erupts into ecstatic chaos. Kenji and Kaori remain silent. Meimi watches on.
8:40: Yoshi rushes in holding a hall pass and an excuse letter. Kaori suddenly remembers the Kendo tournament tomorrow. Rushes out of the room.
9:00: Everyone gathers around Kaori. Coach Hiko looks on while Arashi stands a bit apart.
9:01: Yoshi nudges Kaori. Kaori realizes that she's supposed to say something now. Kaori steps back and heads for the bleachers. Hiko raises his eyebrows and Meimi and Shino take over.
9:04: Kaori watches Kenji and feels her stomach tighten. She realizes how much she misses him. Takes a look at Arashi and her breathing constricts.
9:05: Kaori bangs her head on the wall and chants, "I am evil, I am evil"
9:20: The groups scatters around the gym and everyone starts to train.
9:42: Kenji and Shino practice fighting. Kenji wins by merely two points. Hiko scolds him and tells him something about his state of mind.
9:50: Arashi gets up and starts to leave. Coach Hiko stops him.
9:51: Kaori hears something about Arashi having to train with them that day for they were lacking members.
9:52: Arashi sees he has no choice and relents. Kaori feels her heart beat faster.
9:53: Hiko calls out to Kenji, who has his back turned. Tells him he and Arashi would practice fighting. Kaori's heart momentarily stops beating.
9:54: Meimi and Shino protest, but to no avail. Kenji slowly turns around and clenches his fists.
9:55: Kenji walks over to the mat as Arashi does the same. Kaori finds herself slowly walking towards the group, her eyes never leaving the two.
9:57: Arashi and Kenji stare at each other, both eyes blank, yet their chi's are very strong. Everyone stops to watch. No one dares to move a single muscle.
9:58: Kaori manages to say a weak, "No". Upon hearing the voice, the two narrowed their eyes and lunged towards each other; their speed both god- like.
"Iie!!"
Kenji and Arashi's bokkens collide. They flung back.
"Ken-ji." Kaori clutches her chest and weeps.
Arashi charges, his bokken hits Kenji on the neck. Kenji leaps upward to strike Arashi.
"Arashi!!" Kaori falls to her knees, trembling.
The fighters leap back, falling into battle stance. Kenji's eyes turn to amber and glares at Arashi.
"Stop!!!"
Kenji's eyes flicker as Arashi turns to look at Kaori.
No one dares to move.
This isn't just a practice anymore. It has turned to something else.
Kenji's eyes flash back to amber. The fight was still on.
Yehey!! I'm done with this chappie!! Is it bad?! I was in a rush cuz I have a Philo test tomorrow.. grrrrrrrr..
Yup.. I just had to make them fight. But, don't worry, no one will die..
Thanks for all who read and reviewed!! Please read Mirai too!!
