~Kenshin~
"Shit." I whispered. It was midnight, and I couldn't get Big J to take me to his place. At this rate I wouldn't be able to kill him tonight.
"What did you say?" He said sipping his martini. I ordered myself a screwdriver minus everything but the orange juice. Being drunk while around a rapist is never a good thing.
"I was just wondering when I would get to be alone with you." I gave him my best seductive smile, but it faded away quickly once I saw Soujiro walking towards the VIP section. He came to get me. He really came to get me. I never thought he would, but he did. Idiot. "One second." I said. I reached Soujiro fairly quickly, and pulled him out the back door where poor what's his face was still lying, out cold. "The hell are you doing here?"
"Looking for you! I told you to be home at 11:30. Did you think I was joking? It's dangerous." Soujiro scolded.
"I'm dangerous Soujiro, now go home. I have a job to finish. I'll be done by two."
"Not tonight." He looked at me sternly.
"Excuse me?" My voice was cold, angry, who was he to tell me what to do? I could take care of my own damn self.
"Please Kaoru. I'm worried."
Believe it or not, but I agreed to leave without much of a fight at all. What else was I supposed to do? Lately Soujiro was acting less and less like himself. Usually he always smiled, no matter what, but now he was nervous, worried, and acting down right weird. I went inside, and told Big J that my brother was dragging me home because of a family emergency. It might have made him question my age, but it didn't matter much. He had screwed a 16 year-old, I don't think he'd mind if I was young. He gave me his number and a sloppy, disgustingly long kiss. I walked to Soujiro's car glaring at him, but he just smiled in triumph. Damn bastard. By 12:30 he had dropped me off outside of my apartment. I cursed myself for taking the wig off in Soujiro's car cause I had forgotten it. Damn. I'd get it back tomorrow.
"YO JOU-CHAN!" I heard someone yell. It turned out to be Sano. His girlfriend, Kenshin, was with him. My dreams of Kenshin swirled into my head, and I was glad that I had enough control over my emotions that I didn't blush.
"Sano?" I saw his smiling face clearly in the streetlights.
"What's up?" He said coming to a stop in front of me.
"Nothing. I just came back from a club." I know my alias isn't one of a club hopper, but hey, how would you explain standing there where what I'm wearing at so late in the night?
"You didn't seem like a clubin person when I met you. We also came back from a club."
"Sano thought it would be fun, but I am not a club person, that I am not." Kenshin said smiling a humble, cute smile. Wait, Kenshin, girl, Kenshin, girl. I have got to remember that.
"Usually I am not one either, but I was sort of forced into it." I shrugged.
"You seem different." Sano said squinting at me. I look different huh? I'm sure it has nothing to do with my change of clothes...
"What?" I said flatly.
"You're eyes are green." Kenshin said staring at me curiously. The contacts. I forgot I was wearing the contacts. And here I thought he was talking about my clothes.
"Contacts."
"They're not as nice as your normal blue eyes, although they do go nicely with your shirt." Kenshin said smiling again. Why must I find her so cute? Why? I'm not homosexual, well I didn't think I was homosexual. Maybe I'm just off today. Maybe she's playing with my mind. Grrr, head hurting; too much thinking. @_@.
"Um, thanks." What else was I supposed to say? 'Are you coming on to me?' If she wasn't then I would make an ass of myself in front of her and Sano. Sano probably wouldn't be too happy either considering that the two were a couple. "You two want to come up for a drink?" Truth was: I wasn't tired, and for some reason I felt kinda lonely. God knows why.
"Why not? Got anything to eat? I'm starving!" Sano said walking to the apartment building. Kenshin was laughing lightly, and I eyed her trying to figure out what was so funny.
"You might regret asking Sano up." She finally said walking beside me.
"Why?"
"Sano might eat you out of house and hold. He's a walking black pit, that he is." Kenshin laughed again.
"I heard that!" Sano yelled, he was feet ahead of us, already at the door to the building.
All three of us were walking to the elevator and during the whole thing Sano kept talking about all the girls he had talked to during the night. Kenshin would add in how badly he got dissed. Guess they weren't a couple after all. Anyway, it was going great so far, but as we all now all good things don't last. It's the rule of the universe... Don't it suck? Kenshin was holding open the elevator for me with her arm when we had reached my floor. I accidentally brushed against her and the most odd thing happened. I had a. flash... vision... dream? Anyway, Kenshin was in it. She was saying something, but I couldn't hear it. It was like the dream I had last night, a silent movie. She hugged me, to her, and I wanted to cry. Then I did cry. But I was so confused. There were these insects flying around, and the night was beautiful and perfect except that I was crying. Hard. Before I knew it I was falling. Falling to my knees. I saw white, and the next thing I knew I heard the ding of the elevator, and felt warm arms around me. Muscular arms that made me feel so safe. I wanted to cling to these arms like a lifeline, but I knew I was back to reality, and I was probably standing there like a clumsy dork in Sano's arms. I peeked open one eye, and I saw violet. Violet? Kenshin's violet eyes were staring into mine. Kenshin + warm muscular arms = male? His chest was flat and felt slightly toned under the shirt, definitely male. So, I had been a total idiot. I'm sure the shock of my realization showed on my face, but he didn't seem to notice. He leaned his head, and I could feel the tickle of his warm breath against my ear as he whispered, "Miss Kaoru, are you ok?"
"I'm... I'm fine." I managed to say, and reluctantly pulled out of his arms. No amount of control could stop me from blushing now. Sano was grinning like an idiot. I wanted to knock that grin off his face, but I resisted. "I'm just a little tired." I said quietly. Why did I feel so weak all of a sudden? I had this urge to run back into his arms, and feel that safety again, but like hell I was going to do that. I barely knew him, plus like I said earlier: I can take care of my own damn self. I don't need him to feel safe. The thing is that when I was in his arms it was like relief washed over me. It was like he would protect me, and for once I'd be able to just be me and not have to be a tough assassin. There was no danger in his arms, no worries, just him. All this from a damn hug. I am getting way too emotional.
"We should leave and let you have some sleep." Kenshin said the moment we reached my front door.
"Don't let my clumsiness chase you away. I have plenty food and drinks. We could chill for a while." I insisted. I didn't want him to leave. Call me crazy, call me lonely, I don't care. I had an instant connection with him, and I had those dreams about him too. Maybe if I knew more about him I'd be able to understand what I was feeling.
"Maybe I should leave you two alone. You looked mighty comfy back by the elevator." Sano winked at Kenshin, and Kenshin and I both glared at him. "Alright, alright, calm down, but could we at least get some food. I haven't eaten in forever," He pleaded with Kenshin.
"And the 3 taco's you had an hour ago were just appetizers?" Kenshin asked.
"You know it!" Sano's smile widened.
"Goodbye Miss Kaoru." Kenshin smiled ignoring Sano's comment, and pulling him off to the elevator.
"Good night, and call me Kaoru!" I said while they walked off. Kenshin nodded, but I don't think he paid what I said any mind because then he yelled back, "Ok, Miss Kaoru." Damnit.
Preview: The humor died out of my face, leaving it perfectly blank. His eyes widened a bit. He saw the anger in my eyes. He had hit a cord. Now, I was going to kick his ass. He could feel it. He was scared. Of poor little helpless me? Good.
