Chapter 2 ~

**********

"Sit," Kotomi Saori said after they entered the room.

She noticed that Kenshin was holding Kaoru's hand but said nothing.

"Well. Welcome to this company. You should have known that she'll be your assistant , Kaoru Kamiya and you'll be releasing your 3rd album soon right?," she asked Kenshin after they took their seats.

"It's still half way done. My master will be composing my songs for me," he replied.

"Master?," Kaoru thought inwardly.

"Well.Your concert will be held in Sydney about a month later. I guess you could go visit your master there," Kotomi said in a moment later.

Kenshin nodded in response.

**********

"Who does she think she is?," a girl said as Kaoru was coming out of the room.

"Falling all over him. He deserved better woman," another added in a mocking tone.

"Oh my. I don't even think I'll ever get any friend in this place," Kaoru thought inwardly as she followed Kenshin to the other room.

Kenshin noticed too but said nothing.

**********

"Huh.I'm so tired. Well not really it should be boring," Kaoru said to no one in particular as she laid on her bed. The phone ring broke her from her thoughts.

"Hello. Kaoru , how's your work? Did you met Himura Kenshin?," Misao asked excitedly.

"Oh my. Do you only cared about that redhead?," Kaoru asked in a boring tone.

"Hehe.well he's cute right? I mean one of his bodyguards , Aoshi Shinomori," Misao asked while blushing on the other side of the phone.

"Aoshi? How do you know about his guards?," Kaoru asked curiously.

"Well. They appeared or the tv. So how's your work?," Misao added in a moment later.

"Well , nothing much. I'm more like his servant than assistant. All I was doing was sitting there and the only time I'll move is when I must take some things for him or when I was driving him home," Kaoru replied angrily.

"Oh , I see. Well , you can at least chat about some thing right?," Misao asked innocently.

"Yeah right. He didn't even speak for the whole day. He's just like an ice- cream," Kaoru replied.

"So the rumors true then," Misao answered.

"Got to go now. I'm preparing dinner," Kaoru said juts before she hung up.

**********

"Ohayou," Kaoru said in an usual way.

"Ohayou," he replied in a cold tone while getting into the car. He doesn't even seem to be scared about Kaoru driving skill. He was wearing a dark blue short sleeve shirt and a pair of khaki pants today. His flame red hair was tied in the usual high ponytail and his left ear had a silver skull piercing. Then something caught Kaoru's attention. His left cheek's cross scar.

"I wonder where he got it," she thought inwardly.

**********

They reached the company about 10 minutes later. It was crowded with girls like usual. Kaoru's beginning to get sick at this. She wonder when she'll get mad. They walk into the dubbing room.

"Ok , you may start now," Tsukimi the director said.

Kenshin sat on the piano chair while Kaoru stands by the wall. She was amazed when he started playing the song.

"I didn't know he was that good," she thought inwardly.

The melody of the piano make her lost deep in thought. It was the most beautiful melody she had ever heard. She realized now the reason why he was that famous.

"I wonder why someone as emotionless as him could play such beautiful melody," she thought inwardly.

The melody was such a sad melody that it touches Kaoru's heart. She seems to saw his true heart while he's playing it. She didn't even realize that tears were already streaming down her eyes.

**********

"Ne , what song was that you're playing just now?," Kaoru asked while driving him home.

"Kanashii No Uta. The main song in my third album," he answered.

"I see. It's wonderful," she said with a smile.

"Arigatou," he replied in a dull tone.

"He's not that bad afterall. Maybe he just hid his real feelings," she thought inwardly as her smile disappeared from her face.

"I'm sure he had something painful in the past to change him like this," she added in a moment later.

**********

"Misao , would you like to come to dinner tonight?," Kaoru asked on the phone.

"I would like to," she answered excitedly.

"Before that , we'll need to buy some dinner's ingredient. ok?," Kaoru asked.

"Ok ," Misao replied.

So they hung up the phone after Kaoru said that she'll come to fetch her later. She look at her watch. It's 8.00 p.m now.

"Yahiko , I'm going out to buy dinner's ingredient," she yelled as she ran out of the house.

**********

After the shopping , Kaoru and Misao walk back to the parking place near a park. Then something caught Kaoru's attention. Red hair. He was wearing all in black with a cap to cover his hair. He was sitting in the park with a spikey hair guy.

"Kenshin?," she asked as they both looked up to the new comer.

"Kenshin , who's this girl?," the spikey hair guy asked.

"She's my assistant," he replied in a cold tone.

"Hi , I'm Sagara Sanosuke," Sano said a moment later.

"Hi , I'm Kamiya Kaoru and this is Makimachi Misao," Kaoru replied with a smile.

"So what're you both doing here?," she asked a moment later.

"This Kenshin. He's not coming out from the house so I drag him here for some fresh air," Sano replied with a grin.

"I see. Wanna join us for dinner?," Kaoru asked excitedly.

"Sure. We did love to," Sano replied while Kenshin gave him a disapproving look.

"Come on," Sano said as he drag Kenshin out of the park.
