Take Me Away

Running from Love

Disclaimer: I don't own Kenshin. (I have no more cute saying to go with it!!! Wahhhhhhh….)

AN: I feel inspired. Kare Kano has inspired me. It's so cute. I want to write a fan fic for it!!! Hehe. I have to come up with a plot though. If you know what I'm talking about give me some ideas in some reviews. Thx!!

I'm going to do some Sano and Megumi p.o.v!! Yeah!!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Kenshin sat in his seat with a depressed look on his face. He couldn't understand himself! Why…Why had he gone away? He should have stayed, but...but he made things worse. All Kaoru had done was cry around him but it had different reasons. He felt so guilty. But what could he do?? He was stuck on this plane and there was no way to get back till a few weeks later. He was totally messed up. He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaoru walked back to the shuttle. She hung her head in disappointment. Why did he leave?? Didn't he love her?? Why didn't he react to her kiss?? These questions only made her shed more tears.

She walked back home and tried to forget.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sano called Megumi after Kenshin got on the plane.

"Megumi??" Sano said with a slight sad tone.

"Ya!" Megumi replied.

"Can you meet me by the old bank? I need to see your beautiful face, fox." Sano requested.

"Sure." Megumi agreed. She wanted to see him again too.

He hung up and grabbed his coat. He pushed open the door and walked out.

He leaned his back against the wall and waited for Megumi to show her face. She walked up and stood a few inches from his face. They hadn't seen each other since that day they had lunch. Sano started to flush, thinking of that memory.

"What is it??" Megumi asked.

"I was thinking of how we met." He chuckled.

Megumi giggled a bit but got a straight face when he looked into her eyes with concern. She looked back with wonder. No one had told her.

"Kenshin left for America today. He is coming back for a while." Sano explained.

Megumi gasped. He really did that?? Sano looked away. Megumi gently took his face and turned it to her face. She looked him in the eyes and kissed him. He accepted and grabbed her. The kiss deepened. She felt relieved. He got rid of his sad feeling. The kiss broke and she analyzed his facial expression. He now had hope in his eyes. They were soft and gentle.

"Thank you." Sano said.

He moved in again. He picked up and held her like a baby. They nuzzled noses and smiled. Tears ran down Megumi's cheeks.

"I love you." Megumi whispered.

"I love you too." Sano agreed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaoru proceeded with being bored. She decided to take a part time job to pass the time and earn some extra cash. She searched around Tokyo for a good job. She found a nice clothing store to work in. She could discounts too! J She was going to be happy. She would have less time to hang out with Megumi but if it meant getting her mind off Kenshin, she'd do anything. Not that she didn't love him or anything.  She decided to call Megumi and see what was up.

"Hey! Megumi?" Kaoru asked.

"No, but do you want her??" the voice answered.

"Yes please." Kaoru felt a little embarrassed. Megumi had been picking up lately so she thought it was her.

"Ya!" Megumi came on.

"Hey! What's up?" Kaoru greeted.

"Stop it! I'm trying to talk!" Megumi said.

"What?!?!" Kaoru was confused.

"Oh. Sorry. You were saying." Megumi continued.

"Who's over!?!?!" Kaoru jumped with excitement.

"Ummmmmmm……." Megumi was a little nervous.

"Come on! It can't be anything special!" Kaoru urged her.

"Fine. Sano came over. STOP IT!!!!" Megumi confessed.

"Whoa!" Kaoru was surprised. She also felt a pang of sadness in her stomach. Sano?!?! Why did she have to bring him up?!?! She sighed.

"I guess I'll leave you too alone." Kaoru teased.

"Shut up!" Megumi responded.

"Ja ne!" Kaoru hung up. She had major butterflies in her stomach. She tried to force them out, but only brought tears. (She's been having crying problems, I know.) She forced herself to stop and decided to go out and see what was new around Tokyo. She grabbed a jacket just in case and headed out into the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kenshin sat there the whole time. He felt as guilty and sick as ever.

Welcome to the United States! The time is now, 9:30am. We hope to see you again! The over head announced.

Great! Kenshin thought. He arrived at the place he didn't want to go anymore. He felt a bump when they landed. He gathered his things and waited for it to hook up with the tunnel thing.

Another 15 minutes passed before he was able to leave the plane. He got up and walked out of the plane. He looked left and right and felt lost, lost in a world that he wasn't used to. He went toward the signs to the baggage. He picked up his army green suitcase and rolled it out of the airport. He waved a taxi and rode to the Holiday Inn. (hehe. Holiday Inn.) He waited to arrive at the hotel. He thought, he thought about home. He got home sick.

The car came to a jolting stop. He got out and took his luggage from the car. He looked up and the tall building. Its manila color reminded him of home. He walked in and went up to the counter.

"I need a room." He tried to sound English. (American, English)

"Yes. We have a nice suite. Would you like that one?" the assistant asked.

"Yes please." Kenshin replied.

"Alright. Fill out these papers and your room is number 150." She arranged the room.

Kenshin filled out the papers and took the key to his room. He found his room in the first level. He swiped the card and walked in. It had a bathroom and a twin bed. He dumped his stuff on the bed and started to unpack. He kept his clothes in his suitcase. He planned not to stay long. He had thought of a way to get back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaoru started to work the next day. She arrived in the store uniform and went to the manager.

"Hi! I'm knew. What should I do?" Kaoru asked.

"Oh! You must be Kaoru. Well… I'll let Kei show you around. How to work things, you know." The manager replied. (I borrowed Kei from Marmalade Boy.) He walked over to Kei and introduced them.

"Kei, this is our new employee. Please show her around." He requested.

"Alright." Kei nodded. "My name is Kei." He held out his hand.

Kaoru took it and they shook. "Here let me show you around." Kei took her hand and lead her to a room in the back. She entered a storage room. It was gray and different supplies.

"This is the storage room. You come here to get cleaning things." Kei explained. He took her throughout the store. It was the most fun she'd had in months. She actually smiled as Kei showed her around. She was beginning to like him.

"Now." Kei continued. "You work the cash register and I'll help customers around the store." He smiled at her.

"Thank you. I'll go right away." Kaoru nodded. Kaoru ran up to the cash register and waited patiently for a costumer. She handled the payment well, since Kei had shown her. The rest of the day went as planned and she was working well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kenshin called immediately to Sano when he thought of his brilliant idea. It would be embarrassing but might work. He dialed long distance and got an answer.

"Hello??" came a peppy voice.

"Sano?? It's Kenshin." Kenshin said.

"Whoa! How is it in America?" Sano said with a snobby tone.

"I need to get back!" Kenshin requested.

"And why is that??" Sano asked, interested.

"I have an idea." Kenshin continued. He told Sano his plan. Sano nearly jumped out of his socks it was such a good idea.

"Wow. You really want Kaoru now?? Don't you." Sano teased.

"Shut up! Your not in love, now are you??" Kenshin fought.

"Actually I am." Sano answered.

"Oh. And who's the lucky girl??" Kenshin asked.

"Megumi." Sano flared up with embarrassment.

"Oh. I see." Kenshin ended the conversation. "Back to the plan."

"Well, word on the street is that Kaoru's got her eyes on some gut she works with. The name's Jei or Kei or something." Sano warned him. "You better get back soon."

" I know, that I do." Kenshin said.

"Cya!" Sano hung up.

Kenshin quickly went out to the nearest Triple A he could find to get tickets back to Tokyo. He rushed out and wandered around the Californian city.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaoru was overjoyed to see Kei almost everyday. She'd stop by even if she didn't have work. One day, Kei was acting suspicious.

"Kaoru, can you come with me to the storage room? I need help." Kei asked.

Kaoru accepted and followed him to the storage room. He closed the door behind him. Kei walked up to her with a queer look in his eye.

"Kaoru. I love you." Kei confessed.

"W-What?!?!" Kaoru was astonished.

"That's right." Kei confirmed his statement.

Kei grabbed her and kissed her passionately. Kaoru eagerly accepted. Kei let his grip weakened and pulled out. Kaoru stared up at him in disbelief. Yes, she had feelings for him, just no as strong.
