* Chapter One - Confusion and confession *
* Present day, 2002 *
** 10:36 PM, Yokohama State Museum, Yokohama, Japan**
" HEY! YOU THERE, STOP, STOP!!!!" the guard yelled as he tried to capture the thief. Kaoru did a backflip to avoid the guard's arms, then made sure she got her merchandise safely in her belt, and ran. 'Hmmm.Strange though! I thought that I've heard that statement before!' Kaoru thought as she kept on running. As she reached the window, where she had gained entrance, she jumped out. She could still hear the guard yelling, only that his voice wasn't the only one yelling.
"GET THE THIEF! CALL THE POLICE!!!!" another officer yelled
"As if they could! They couldn't even capture a rat!" Kaoru muttered indignantly.
NGGNGNGNGNGNNGNGNGNGNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She heard the siren. Police's siren. 'Gotta get outta here fast!' she thought She ran towards the back gate and jumped to the other side.
"STOP! THERE'S THE THIEF!" a police's booming voice shrieked
As if on cue, two cops blocked her, each bearing katanas. They immediately unsheathed their katanas and ran towards her. Acting on instinct, she readied herself as she nonchalantly blocked the first man's attack and easily parried the other's. She then did a backflip, releasing her the burden of having to waste her time playing with these miserable smut of time. She took out a pack from her pocket and threw it to them, it released smoke. Kaoru took the opportunity and ran to a corner. Her car slowly coming to view. She hopped into her car and drove to the port.
* 11:13 PM, Yokohama sea port *
Meanwhile, a woman was standing facing the sea ahead. 'Kaoru should be here right.now ' Seiyo confirmed as she glanced at her wristwatch indicating 11:13 PM. Sure enough, a black convertible Benz came speeding her way, then stopped right at her.
"Hey, am I late?" Kaoru asked, as Seiyo climbed at the Benz. Seiyo shook her head; Kaoru smiled and started the car. They then sped towards Tokyo.
* 11:45 PM, Tokyo Bay *
Two figures, leaned on a car, were watching the waning moon in the sky. The surroundings were peaceful and inviting. They had a day's rest after that job last night. Giving the redhead time to think.
Seriously, everything in my life.I feel like I'm preparing myself. Bur for what? Or for whom? I've had my own experiences. I wish I could tell what's going on in my life. Huh! Kenshin smirked. Being Battousai, I still have a lot to learn in spite of my skills. I wonder------
" Um.Kenshin.?" Kenshin's reverie was cut as Sano spoke, his confusion was quite apparent on his face. Kenshin glanced at Sano as to acknowledge what the man has to say.
"Just wanna ask, do you perhaps.still.love Tomoe?" he asked. Kenshin's reply surprised him,
"No.", seeing Sano's confusion, he went on " I know it sounds weird, but I think I'm waiting for someone. It's like it's not my turn to really love yet. With Tomoe, things don't turn out the way it should be anymore. There's someone waiting for her. Someday, I would find mine. I know I would, very soon. I still care for Tomoe though, she's still my friend." Kenshin said, at peace.
Sano now understood. But he knew that, somehow, his friend would find real compassion. Heck, he thought, Kenshin would never have a hard time looking for one. There are already tons of beautiful women swarming after Kenshin Himura. With flaming red hair, intriguing violet eyes, and not to mention his 6'1 height, and of course, his unbelievable kendo skills.
On the other hand, he, Sanosuke Sagara, had spiky brown hair, sometimes tied with a bandana, 6'2, gorgeous brown eyes, and of course his strength, 'Oh, yes, we're irresistible, alright!' Sano thought.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRINGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRING
Both jumped as Kenshin's phone rang. When he answered, his uncle's voice magnified shockingly over the speaker---
"JERK BRAT! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?? I WANT YOU TO COME BACK HERE RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!"
Hiko's voice was clearly angry. Kenshin realized they have been in the bay for almost three hours.
" Uh.sorry, sensei.I'll be coming." Kenshin apologized. Sano gave him a look of ' Look's like we're gonna be in trouble tonight!' " YOU'D BETTER BE, BRAT!!!" Hiko's voice boomed. "Yes, Hiko-sensei!" Kenshin prompted, just as he was about to hung up------- - "BRAT," Hiko once again said, " Yes, sir?",
"DON'T FORGET TO DROP BY A CONVENIENCE STORE, BUY ME A CASE OF FINE BRANDY!!!!!!!!!!!", then hung up.
" Well, let's go!" Kenshin hopped onto the car as Sano sped off.
