Chapter 1: Why did I have to encounter?!

Disclaimer: I don't own Kenshin. I don't own Kaoru. I don't own RK!

Kaoru Kamiya- speaker

I ran fast up to the stairs. "Oh God I'm late!!" I exclaimed. The bell rung clearly and my heart began to throb fast. At last, I'm at the place where I'm destined to, and looked at each classroom. I searched for my name and there it was.

Kaoru Kamiya.

I went inside my second year high school class. I looked at everyone and they were chatting about their vacation and anything else that I didn't care anymore.

"Kaoru-chan! Kaoru-chan!! Over here!!"

I turned my head around rather awkwardly and saw my best friend, Misao Makimachi. "Misao-chan!" I sat beside the chair where Misao's was.

"We really are very lucky, Kaoru-chan! We're in the A section class!" Misao exclaimed.

I smiled at her. "We really are going to be lucky if THAT boy is not here." I mumbled.

Misao seemed to hear it. "You mean Himura?"

I nodded furiously. "I still haven't forgotten what he had done to me when I was in Grade six! He's so annoying and I really hate him!!" I exclaimed, but in a whispered.

Misao and I both looked at Kenshin Himura.

"He's cute and handsome... But he's very boastful and I heard he has lots of ex-girlfriends." Misao whispered.

"That's why I hate him. He treats us women like toys." I replied.

"Hello class. I'm your class adviser, Wataru-sensei. (NO offense please!) Please introduce yourself one by one."

Misao held my hand, and I felt her cold skin. "Misao-chan, are you nervous?"

"Very much, Kaoru-chan."

Soon, all of us introduced ourselves. Wataru-sensei arranged our sitting arrangement, and I surprised that my seat mate on the left is Kenshin Himura. "Why did it have to be me?!" I thought.

I sat beside Tae. "Oh hello, Kaoru-san! It's good that we're seatmates." Tae said.

"I'm grateful!" I said lamely. I looked at Kenshin secretly and he was talking with the girls around him. "He's such a playboy. Why do I have to encounter him in my life?"

It was half day only. We were dismissed early.

While we were lining up to get down to the school quadrangle, I was chitchatting with my friends, Tae, Misao and Megumi. I heard a familiar voice and it was Sanosuke Sagara.

Sanosuke Sagara was a hot guy. He was the next heart throb of the girls. Many girls are dying and are crazy over him, and I'm one of them. I was really crazy for Sanosuke. Imagine, he's good-looking, cute, strong, kind, rich, everything that a girl wants from a guy.

I stared at Sanosuke, daydreaming that I was with Sanosuke in this beautiful weird place. We were holding hands, close to each other, and... That will be too impossible.

With all the beautiful girls around the school campus, he will be with this ugly, pathetic girl?! Okay, enough exaggeration.

"Kaoru-chan, let's buy some coke first. I'm thirsty!" Megumi exclaimed, stroking her throat gently.

I nodded and turned to face Megumi. I was smiling while talking with my friends, and I saw Kenshin staring at me on the corner of my eye. I could see him.

We went down from the stairs and bought ourselves a refreshing drink.

I drank simple bottled water, and taste the sweetness of it even though there's none.

"Guys, I heard some news." Misao said.

"What is it?" Tae asked.

"Megumi, please say it. I have a loud voice!" Misao said then laughed.

"Well, Kenshin's going to be a superstar." Megumi said.

"NANI???!!!" I shouted and spit out the water I tasted in paradise. "What did you say??!!!" I exclaimed.

"Kaoru-chan! You're shouting like you've just seen a devil or something." Misao said.

"I know! But can you repeat what you just said, Megumi-chan?" I said.

"I said that Kenshin's going to be a superstar. He already created a commercial for a shampoo brand." Megumi said.

"B-but why is he... Why is he going to be a superstar?!" I exclaimed again.

"Kaoru-chan, are you blind? He's cute, he's handsome, he's photogenic, he's kind, he's well-build, he's strong, he's rich, he's..." Tae said on and on.

"I didn't know that Tae could be THAT talkative." I murmured to both Megumi and Misao.

They nodded their heads.

"But Tae-chan is right. Kenshin got the charisma." Megumi said.

"Kaoru-chan, aren't you excited that you're seatmate will be a famous superstar?" Misao exclaimed.

"Maybe you are the one who's excited." I mumbled. "I just hate him!" I then said and went out of the school.

I angrily walked down the road of Cherry Blossoms. Sakura. The breeze blew my school hat, and I looked around. The Sakura were floating everywhere and it was breezy. It gave me a light feeling. "I suppose they still don't know why I'm so angry at Kenshin..."

Flashback...

It was Kenshin who said it.

"Kenshin who?" I asked.

Kenshin Himura.

While still in grade six, Tae has a crush named Enishi Yukishiro. Since Tae is on of my friends, I decided to make Enishi and Tae closer. I made friends with Enishi and told everything about Tae's beauty to Enishi.

Enishi has lots of friends. Tons of them because he was so popular. What I didn't know that Kenshin Himura is one of his best friends. Their group was the cutest boys' group.

Kenshin and Enishi's other friends found out that Enishi and I have been talking with each other by cell phone and internet. They thought that I had a crush on him. But no.

I went to Tae's house after dismissal. My two friends, Shura and Sayo were with me. We three were walking towards our home.

Shura said hat she will accompany me to my house. I agreed, and Sayo joined.

"Enishi will be the one to accompany you, Kaoru!"

I didn't turn around, but Shura and Sayo did. I asked who was it, and they said it was Kenshin Himura. I held anger starting that day at him. He must tease me after he has proven that I really have feelings for Enishi.

It's not that I'm easily tricked by his simple tease. It's just that the whole school campus knew that I liked that hot guy Enishi.

My head spin in nowhere. I was going crazy!!! I didn't have feelings for that Enishi!!!

"You're going to pay what you have done to me, Himura Kenshin!!!!!!!!" I angrily shouted on the top of my voice at the mountain during vacation.

End of flashback...

I scratched my head. "What did you do to me?! I'm not doing anything to you!!" I exclaimed. I continued to walk through the road where many Sakura trees grew. My thoughts about Kenshin had been washed suddenly by a strong wave. It was Sanosuke's image.

"Ah... Sanosuke..." I whispered.

"Yes?"

I turned around shockingly, and saw Sanosuke Sagara in front of me! "Wha- what...?"

"You called me. What is it?" Sanosuke calmly said, smiling.

Before I could say something, Kenshin Himura appeared. "Hey Sano! We agreed to go to the mall! Let's go now!" Kenshin said.

I bit my lower lip. "How dare he destruct my conversation with Sanosuke!!!" I thought. I lifted my head up and saw Kenshin staring at me, and then turned his head quickly at Sanosuke.

"Is he eye catching at me? Well, I don't care about him!!" I mumbled.

But somehow, deep inside me, the feeling was changing. Is it true that, "The more you hate the more you love?"

This world really is vexatious for me.

God, why did I have to encounter that playboy Kenshin!!!!!!
