Chapter 3: First Obstacle: To Lay Eyes On Another
It was early in the morning when a lot of people were either jogging around the park or walking their dog. It was a cool morning and everybody wanted to have a jog. Himura Kenshin was no exception.
He wore black jogging pants, a gray sweat shirt and rubber shoes. He also had his hair in a high ponytail.
Kenshin was panting heavily. He stopped for a while and sat down on a near by bench.
He looked around to watch other people do their morning routine. His eyes kept roaming until he saw something that caught his eye.
She was a sight to behold. With her hair tied up in a low ponytail. Her lips partly opened to catch for breath. She was exquisite. He never saw anything or anyone like her.
'She. she's beautiful.'
Kenshin was in a trance until a dog jumped on his lap.
"Huh?"
"Aki! Come."
'Hey. That voice sounds awfully familiar.'
When he looked to where the voice came from, he saw his beloved childhood friend.
"Kaoru? What are you doing here?"
She looked up and was surprised to see whom it was.
"Kenshin. I didn't know you were here."
"I didn't know you were here either."
"Well, what are you doing here?"
"I was just jogging around. You, what were you doing here?"
"I was walking Aki."
"Who's Aki?"
Just then, barks were heard. Both teens looked down to find a Labrador retriever smiling up at them.
"You have a dog!?"
"Actually, its not my dog. I don't have a dog. I have a cat. Remember?"
"Huh? O. oh yeah. A cat. Now I remember."
"Yeah. Sure. You remember." Kaoru said with sarcasm while rolling her eyes upward.
"So, if it's not your dog, then whose is it?"
"It's my neighbor's. He has a slight fever. He can't walk Aki. Then again, I'm always the one who walks him."
"Guess he's too lazy to walk his own dog."
"Yeah."
They both walked back home with Aki. The beautiful girl was forgotten, but only temporarily.
In school on Monday, students were walking to school with their friends. Kaoru, Misao, Megumi and Sano were all walking to school like any normal teenager. But something was missing. Or someone. was missing.
"Hey, did any of you see Kenshin?" Sano asked as he stopped in his tracks, looking behind him to see if their friend caught up.
"No." Misao and Megumi both said in unison.
"Me too, Sano. Where could he be?" Kaoru replied also wondering where her idiot of a friend had gone.
In the Himura residence, a redheaded teenage guy was still snug in the covers of his bed.
A wonderful dream was brewing in his little red head.
¤Dream¤
The beautiful girl was running towards him. He was surprised. He didn't know what to do.
'Wow. She IS beautiful.'
She ran closer and closer. She spread open her arms as if to hold him close. But, as she came even closer, the girl became another figure. And that figure was.
'Kaoru?'
¤End Dream¤
Kenshin suddenly jolted awake. He sat on his bed for a moment to register his dream.
When he looked at his alarm clock, he widened his violet eyes.
"Oh my God! I'm going to be late!"
He quickly jumped out of bed, took a quick shower, put on his uniform, ran down the stairs, got some toast from the counter and ran out the door to the school all in record time.
With all the speed and hurry, Kenshin did not notice the bracelet that Kaoru gave him, slip away from his wrist.
'Gods. I can't be that late, can I?'
When he got to school, he ran down the hallway to his first class.
'Sensei's really gonna kill me now.'
Because of his hurry to go to his class, he bumped into someone he never expected to see.
"Hey! Watch where you're going."
"Sorry."
Kenshin looked up. Ready to give that person a piece of his mind but stopped when he realized that.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't see you."
. She was the girl he saw in the park last Saturday.
'It's her!'
"Uh, it's okay. No big deal."
"Thanks, umm."
"Kenshin. Himura Kenshin."
"Oh. I'm Tomoe. Yukishiro Tomoe."
She held out her hand to him. And he gradually took it. He looked at her admiringly all day. His friends were observing the sudden change.
"Oi, Kenshin. You okay?" Sano said waving his hand in front of Kenshin's face.
Kenshin, who was staring dreamily at Tomoe, jerked back to reality when Kaoru suddenly knocked on his head.
"Knock, knock. Anybody home?"
"Kao-chan. Stop it! Let me concentrate."
"Really? Concentrate on what, staring at that girl?"
Kenshin suddenly blushed.
"How did you know?"
"Duh! I've known you since you were five."
"Well, you'll never know how happy I am today."
"Really? Why?"
"'Cause I think I've met the girl of my dreams."
"Oh." Kaoru said miserably.
She didn't know why she was feeling this way, but she was really disappointed. She then suddenly thought an unconscious thought.
'I thought I was the girl of your dreams.'
New feelings found. New emotions uncovered. How hard could this obstacle be? Is everything supposed to change? Or is everything going to be all right? Only time can tell.
Dreamaker: So, there you have it, the appearance of Tomoe. It was really hard to write. You guys all know that I don't approve of T&K right? I am forever loyal to K&K. I'm just writing this stuff to make a nice juicy fanfic. Oh, and about Kaoru's last thought I will not give the flashback or anything. I want you to imagine it. But, if you can't imagine it, then just tell me. I can make a fic about their childhood. It's gonna be sweet. Puppy love. Or should I say Chibi love? R&R!
