Chapter 9: Is this the end for us...?
Disclaimer: Iie! Koharu-chan is not guilty! Heh! I don't own RK!
Kaoru went back to the school slowly.
"Kaoru-dono!"
Kaoru lifted her head up and saw Kenshin running towards her. "Oh."
"Kaoru-dono? What's the matter?" Kenshin asked.
Kaoru slowly shook her head. "N-nothing..." she whispered.
Kenshin put his hand on her shoulders. "Did you see Aoshi again?"
"Eh?"
"Don't hide anymore. I know you're always thinking about him." Kenshin said with a sigh. "Come on. Let's go to class."
Kaoru gave Kenshin a puzzled look. She just followed him to class.
Later...
"To have this kind of compound, all you need is to mix this..." the professor in Chemistry explained, as he wrote something on the board.
Kaoru was writing the notes on her portable laptop. "Huh?! Where's my document here?" Kaoru remembered that her floppy disc was with Megumi. "Um... Megumi-san..."
Megumi handed her the disc without looking at Kaoru.
Kaoru got hold of the floppy disc. "Ah... Arigatoo." Kaoru said. She typed something and looked at Megumi again.
"What are the things that you have that I don't have...?" Megumi asked.
"Want me to say it alphabetized? Well, you're arrogant--" Kaoru incompletely said. She stopped talking when she saw Megumi groan and hid on her arms at the desk.
"So I'm arrogant... Maybe it's one of the things why Sanosuke don't like me anymore..."
Kaoru gasped. "Megumi! Don't tell me you like that rooster head?!" Kaoru exclaimed.
"I really like him... Kaoru, how could I know if he still likes me...?" Megumi whispered.
"So that's why you're so sad today!" Kaoru exclaimed.
"Didn't you notice it in the beginning?!" Megumi exclaimed, dropping something from her secret pocket.
Kaoru picked up the small paper that was wrapping something. She opened it and saw white particles. She put her finger on the particles and tasted it. "What the--?!"
Megumi's eyes widened.
"Megumi! Why are you carrying this kind of drug?!" Kaoru asked in a whisper.
"That's supposed to be my blackmail to you..." Megumi said.
"Oh? So you're planning to continue it now?" Kaoru exclaimed.
"Kaoru, you don't understand--" Megumi was stopped talking by the bell.
"Recess class!" the teacher said.
"Come on. You have some explaining to do." Kaoru said, grabbing Megumi's hand and they walked towards the school canteen.
Meanwhile...
"So, what happened to jouchan when he saw that Aoshi guy?" Sanosuke asked and sat down with Kenshin on the seat inside the canteen.
"Well, she kind of looks like she's going to cry..." Kenshin said and put down the tray of food on the table. He sat down. "She stills thinks about that Aoshi..."
"Kenshin, may I tell you something?" Sanosuke asked as he ate the carbonara spaghetti. "MM! This IS good!" he mumbled.
Kenshin nodded. "What is it?"
"I received a call from Enishi." Sano said.
"Enishi? You mean Tomoe's brother?" Kenshin exclaimed.
Meanwhile...again...
Kaoru was picking some foods.
"Konnichiwa, Kaoru-chan, Megumi-chan!" Misao gladly said.
"Misao, you look happy today." Megumi said as she got a grape juice.
"Something new happened today!" Misao exclaimed.
Kaoru was smiling but it was slowly fading.
"What happened?" Megumi asked.
"I'll just tell it to you when we reach our table!" Misao said, snatching a tray with foods already from the little boy.
"Hey! That's my food!"
"Oh look, Ken-san and...Sano..." Megumi slowly said.
"Let's go to them!" Misao said, pulling Kaoru and Megumi's hands.
Mean...while...a...gain... (*Sighs*)
"Yup." Sanosuke simply replied with a serious look.
"What about him?" Kenshin asked, beginning to be serious too.
"He said Kaoru's going with him to Paris."
"Kaoru?!" Kenshin exclaimed, standing up suddenly.
"Well, it's simple. Enishi thought that you had killed Tomoe, and he knew that you like Kaoru. Well, for "Jinchuu", he decides to take Kaoru with him to Paris to settle their engagement and wedding there." Sanosuke said.
Kenshin was speechless. Finally, he spoke up. "Does Kaoru know about this?"
"About what?" a feminine voice asked.
Kenshin and Sano turned their heads. KAORU!!!!
Kaoru was also surprised to see the look on their faces. "W-what?"
"N-nothing..." Kenshin whispered and looked away.
"Ah... I know that you have a very confidential talk. We'll leave you there!" Misao said and they went away.
Sanosuke looked at Megumi and at the same time, Megumi stared at Sanosuke.
Megumi...
Sanosuke...
Megumi was pulled by Misao again. "Hey! Let go!"
Sanosuke looked at Kenshin again. "Well...I think she doesn't know it..."
Kenshin stared at the untouched food. "I'm doomed..."
Sanosuke sighed. "You must tell her how you feel before she gets away. They are leaving tomorrow." he said.
"Tomorrow?!"
"Kaoru-chan, we're sorry, but we must accept it, or else...you will be the one who will suffer. The Yukishiro family is very rich and can get anything they want. They threatened that if we don't give you away to Enishi as his fiancée, your love ones will be the one to suffer. Even your friends in school." The relative of Kaoru explained.
"But this is my life! I'm the one who must decide! I accept your advices, but don't make it clear quickly! The agreement has been settled ever since I met Kenshin, and I didn't even know a single thing about it!" Kaoru shouted. She opened the shoji of the room and ran away.
Kenshin was walking and he arrived at the playground. He walked towards the playground and he bumped to someone.
"Ouch!"
Kenshin heard a familiar voice and looked. "K-Kaoru-dono...!"
Kaoru opened her eyes and saw Kenshin staring at her. "Kenshin...?"
Later...
"Kenshin,"
"Kaoru,"
"You go first, Kenshin."
"No, you first, Kaoru-dono. Girls first is a policy."
"Well...I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow." Kaoru sadly said.
"Oh..."
"I just well..."
"I love--" Kenshin incompletely said.
Kaoru's cell phone rang. "Hold on." She picked up her cell phone from her pocket and answered it. "Moshi-moshi? Ah... Obaasan... Hai... In the playground...with my friend..."
Kenshin stared at Kaoru. He would never see those sapphire eyes, sweet smile, pinkish cheeks, and pony-tailed hair...Kaoru... My Kaoru!
Kaoru smiled at Kenshin. "What is it that you were saying? You said that you love...what?" Kaoru asked shyly.
"Um... I love..."
"Hai?" Kaoru whispered, blushing.
"I love to see you happy in your way to Paris. Good luck with Yukishiro Enishi."
Kaoru felt she was slapped. "Kenshin... Is that...what you really want to tell me...?"
Kenshin nodded with a cheerful smile, but sadness was behind it. "You should probably go home now. It's getting dark."
Kaoru turned away slowly. "Kenshin...doesn't...love me...? I know that we just have known each other in such a short time but...he...I..."
Kenshin stared at her while walking away. Kenshin punched the tree trunk. "Why didn't I tell her?! I'll lose her forever! Why do you have to be so foolish, Kenshin?!" he shouted with anguish, his eyes beginning to be amber.
Later at night...
Kaoru was finished packing her things. "I have seen Enishi Yukishiro many times. He's always voted as the class president and is very popular. But...I don't like him... And I still haven't known him yet..." she thought as she turned off the lights and lied on her bed.
Because of Aoshi...
No, because of me...
Kenshin and I...will never be together...
But I want to be with him...
Forever...
"Kenshin...Aishiteru..." Kaoru whispered as her eyes closed slowly.
Kenshin opened his eyes suddenly. He looked outside the window. "Was that...Kaoru that I just heard...?" he thought as he looked at the Sakura tree growing at their backyard.
Will this be an end for us...?

*Um, to Houndingwolf (Did I spell that right?) I'll try my best to think of an EXCELLENT story starring you and Sano! (Hope it clicks to the public!)
Pray for me (I'm so mean to you all! ^_^ Tee-hee) so I could give you (the readers) the very best chapter of Ice picture! And anyway...in the ending, you will know why I chose "Ice picture" as the title. See yah! ^_^
