The Forgotten Prince
Chapter 3
"Let me introduce to you the new SC Vice President everyone. Himura Kenshin."
'No!!!' Kaoru watched in horror as her rival bowed in front of everyone with a smile on his lips.
"I really am honored that Principal Kawashita chose me to be your new VP. I promise everyone that I will do whatever I can for this school," Kenshin said as he looked at everyone in the room, sincerity filled his voice.
Everyone in the room except the raven-haired president congratulated Kenshin.
"Alright Kenshin! You would be our savior."
"We would be looking forward to working with you Ken-san," Kaoru heard Megumi say flashing him a seductive smile.
Kaoru boiled with anger as she watched all of her colleagues swoon over him as if he is some King. What do they mean by him being their savior? Isn't she enough to lead this school?
As soon as she saw Kenshin's gaze on her she couldn't control what she is doing any longer. She banged her fists on the table and stood up. "No! I disagree him being our VP."
Everyone on the room fell silent, including Principal Kawashita, and stared at her their eyes wide open with shock. Kenshin looked at her looking very puzzled.
"Why is that Kamiya-san?" the principal asked as he adjusted his glasses.
Kaoru gulped for she is not ready to answer that question. She never has once disagreed with their principal. until now. She can't go back now. "I-I don't think he is suited to be the VP. He just arrived in this school for his last year so he still has much to learn on how to handle the affairs in this school." There, that's a good point.
"If you're worried about that Kamiya-san you shouldn't because according to his records before he transferred to this school, he was the former president of their school even if he still wasn't in his senior year. He has lots of experience on how to handle school affairs," Principal Kawashita assured her sitting on his chair.
"Handling affairs on other school and in this school isn't that different, I think." Kenshin added.
'Shut up!' Kaoru screamed in side her mind. For all she knows, he is already plotting his way on how he can kick her out of her position and replaced her as the new president. Why is he taking everything away from her? "Look at his friends! They are the ones who are always doing trouble in this school. How do you expect him to be serious?"
She saw Kenshin frowned at her for insulting his friends. " I don't think that's fair of you to judge me by my peers Kamiya-san. Yes I admit that my friends are fond of doing pranks and their hobbies are to fool around and all that but you shouldn't base my capabilities on what they do. I know the difference between fun and work, fooling around and seriousness."
"Kaoru stop being such a baby and admit that we need Ken-san to join us," Megumi retorted. "Didn't you hear what our sensei said? We need all the help we can get and I believe that Ken-san would be helpful to us in many ways. It's quite obvious that you don't want Ken-san here for whatever personal matter but you should stop thinking about yourself and think about the school instead."
Kaoru couldn't say anything back to Megumi because she knows that the foxy woman is right. She saw the other people in the room agreed with what Megumi said and no matter what she says, Kenshin would be the new VP.
Kenshin walked to her and stood in front of her, his determined purple eyes locked into her sapphire ones. "I'm sorry that you don't like me Kamiya-san and you don't approve of the idea that I would be next in position to you but I assure and promise you, whether you believe me or not that I would do everything to be able to help to each and every one of you. I'm not doing this to boost my popularity if that's what you're thinking. I just want to make my life more productive and useful knowing that I can do something for this school."
Kaoru looked back into his eyes not wanting to believe him. 'He is just doing this to make me look bad in front of all these people.' Too bad for Kaoru it worked.
"Looks like everyone agrees with me except for you Kamiya-san. You know the rule. The majority wins, Himura-san is the new VP." Principal Kawashita proclaimed.
Once again she lost to her red-haired rival.
-----0000-----
That night Kaoru took an evening stroll wanting to have some fresh air. Aside from that, she wants to think about what happened that afternoon.
'But why' She remembered Misao asked her earlier on the phone. 'Why are you so angry with him?'
She sighed because she perfectly knows the answer to that question. Because he is better than her and she hates the idea that there is someone like him who can do that. To top it all, he is not a geeky student who wears thick glasses and has two large front teeth. He is handsome and every girl in the school has a crush on him, even her best friend.
She hugged herself as the night breeze went passing through. She is wearing a thin black shirt and denim shorts, which caused her to shiver. Because of him, her hope to become the school valedictorian is crumbling down the hill.
She turned around the corner and continued to walk without a certain destination in mind. 'Himura, Himura, Himura why do you have to go here to Tokyo? Aren't you contented with your life in wherever it is that you came from? Why do you have to go here and ruin my dreams?' She stopped walking and looked around to know where she is. She looked at her left and saw the Tokyo Cherry Park. She sighed and went inside to make the most out of her walk. This park is quite popular to the residents here for during spring the place is so beautiful because the Sakura trees are in full bloom. It isn't spring yet but still there are many people in the park, most of them are couples.
She went straight to the center of the park and went to the circular fountain and sat in the bench beside it. Her thoughts drifted to her boyfriend as she watched the couples nearby. She and Enishi have only been in this park at least thrice. The stuffs that they usually do are eating at a restaurant, watching a movie, going to the mall or hanging out in each other's houses. It's the same routine for the past three years. She has known Enishi since she was in junior high and has never been with anyone since then. She just got used to the familiarity of everything. She liked things the way they are except that lately she is beginning to get irritated with the way her white-haired boyfriend is acting. He is getting more demanding, always demanding her to spend time with him. Not only that but also he is being selfish. She remembered what Misao told her the night before. 'If you're not happy, you should breakup with him.'
Kaoru shook her head. No. She is not going to resort to that. She doesn't want to throw away the 3 years they have been together.
"A penny for your thoughts," someone said to her.
She looked up and saw the person she least wanted to see. Himura Kenshin is standing at least 2 feet away from her. 'Damn! Why is it that everywhere I go I see this guy?' "Himura-san? What are you doing here?"
He sighed. "I just want to walk around and smell the air." He flashed Kaoru a smile his purple eyes twinkling because of the light of the lamppost nearby. "Can I sit beside you Kamiya-san?"
"I don't own the place," Kaoru answered coldly looking at her feet.
Kenshin chuckled. "I'm not going to sit beside you if you don't want me to Kamiya-san."
Kaoru looked at him again as he has his hands in his pockets and he is watching the motion of the water in the fountain. She has to admit that he really is handsome; she's not going to deny that.
"You are so lost in your thoughts once again Kamiya-san, is it about the school? Maybe you should take a break for a while. I can see that you are so stressed out. You could ask Principal Kawashita to excuse you for a while," he suggested as he turned around and leaned back at the edge of the fountain.
'And let you take over the council? No way.' She thought dryly. "I appreciate your concern Himura-san but no thanks. Besides I'm not thinking about school."
For the second time he sighed then did not say anything. She did not say anything either for she is not that enthusiastic to start a conversation with him.
"You really hate me, don't you?" Kenshin asked bluntly.
Kaoru looked at him. He looks. sad. Why is that he looks sad? "No I don't."
"I don't believe you. I really thought you would bite my head off this afternoon. Well in a way you did. Why is it that you are so angry with me?" He asked. He looked at her his eyes pleading to know the answer. "What did I do that made you hate me so much?"
"Fine don't believe me if I said that I don't hate you. I just want what's best for the council," Kaoru said avoiding his question. She is not going tell him that she hates him because he is better than her.
"Ok I'm going to take your word that you're not angry with me," he said. He pushed himself away from the fountain then walked in front of her. "Can I sit beside you?" he asked her again.
Kaoru nodded giving up. He sat beside her feeling uncertain.
"I'm sorry," he apologized all of a sudden.
"For what?"
"That you don't like me to be the vice president," he answered as he played with his fingers. He looked at her. "I really promise Kamiya-san that I will work hard."
That's what she is afraid of, that he will work so hard and everyone will prefer him instead her. She decided to ask him the question that she has been asking herself lately. "Himura-san why did you move to Tokyo."
She wasn't sure if she heard him right because he answered so softly. "To chase a memory."
'Huh?' Kaoru thought perplexed. "Pardon?
Kenshin flashed him a goofy smile. "I have always wanted to go back here in Tokyo."
'Maybe I'm just hearing things' Kaoru concluded. "You lived here before?"
He nodded. He looked up in the stars. "But that was a very long time ago. Back when I was still very young. I have always wanted to stay here in Tokyo but we have to move to Kyoto."
He sure got his wish to move back here. "You're here now, ne?" 'And ruining my life as well.'
He stood up as he dug his hands inside his pocket. "It's getting late Kamiya-san. They might be looking for me for I haven't told them I was going out. I'll see you tomorrow, Ja ne." He walked a few feet away from me and then stopped. "Kamiya-san?" He called me his back still facing me.
"Hmm? Nani?" I asked as I sit still.
"The promise I made. I'll be sure to keep it." With that he walked away leaving her in the park with the stars twinkling above them in the night sky.
