Chapter Four
Kenji watched as the rain poured down. Thunder was heard above and his mother could be heard screaming something about somebody named Noyu getting out of her house. Kenji wondered why it was always raining when his mother was angry, but he didn't brood on it long.
Not like she had any magical powers or something.
He sighed and sat on his bed, watching out the window. His conversation with Kayami wasn't very long, as she had to go work on homework. He let his head rest down on his pillow. Something deep down inside of him told him something was wrong. He just couldn't tell what it was.
The next day at school, Kenji was silent. He didn't know what disturbed him. Something deep down told him something was terribly wrong but he couldn't get his finger on it. His friends were worried, as well as his parents.
Mikaro sighed, distressed, "C'mon Himura!!! Why so down in the dumps?"
Kenji didn't answer.
Denosuke rolled his eyes. "What's wrong with you dude??? Come on! You can tell us!!"
Chinosuke piped in, "We're your bet friends, right?"
But they just couldn't get their best friend to speak. Kenji was deep in thought, and little did he know, his father would do this so many times. Kenji didn't realize he had picked up the habit of brooding from his father.
The day flew by more quickly then expected, and English class rolled along. Kenji barely talked in that class at least, but Soujiro could tell something was up. Finally after class, while Soujiro was packing up his stuff and the class was empty, Mikaro walked up to him.
"Uhh. . . Mr. Soujiro!" Mikaro said.
Soujiro looked up and smiled at her. "Yes Miss. Shinomori?" he asked, voice gentle and sweet like honey.
Mikaro could've died right then and there a happy girl. She nearly squealed in delight, but her pride wouldn't let her. "Ano. . . I was wondering. . . I feel like I'm not learning enough in class and it would be great if I could work with you one on one."
From the door, peeping in, Denosuke could be barely heard whispering, "Atta girl, Weasel!!!"
Soujiro smiled. "Alright then, we can start tomorrow. During lunch time sound alright to you?" he asked. 'This girl is very. . . very cute.' Soujiro mentally slapped himself. 'What am I thinking??? She's only fourteen years old!!! I'm twenty two!!!'
Soujiro couldn't help but feel his stomach do a belly flop when Mikaro said, "Awesome!" she winked, "It's a date!" she walked off and closed the door behind her.
Soujiro let out the breath he was holding in. 'Why am I acting this way about her???' he sighed. 'I need some more coffee. . .'

Kenji met up with Kayami after school. For the first time today, he smiled, and brightly. "Hey there Kayami!!!" he shouted. He watched as she turned to look at him and walked away from the other girls.
"Ahh Kenji! Hey there! Haven't been able to talk all day have we?" she asked, slyly.
Kenji didn't notice it, "Yah. . . Stupid school. Uhhh, I was wondering if you'd like to go to a movie or something. . . Maybe dinner. . ." he stuttered. He prayed the lord for no rejection.
Kayami laughed. "Of course! I'd love to go!!!" she said. 'Man, this guy is so much nicer then I thought he was. . . What am I saying??? He's the Battousai's son. . . Daddy's counting on me. . .' she thought to herself.
Kenji smiled, "Great!!! What time?"
"Right now would be great! I don't have a ride home." She said, nearly soberly.
Kenji took her hand. "Cool. Let's go," he gave her a smile that would win any girl's heart.
It sure won Kayami's.
Denosuke, Chinosuke and Mikaro watched as they went walking down the street. Denosuke crossed his arms and smirked, "So that's why he was so quiet and down today!!! He's gotta girlfriend!!!" he laughed evilly.
Chinosuke started hooting. Mikaro slapped him and he stopped, unlike Denosuke. Chinosuke felt a tinge of blush coming to his face when he felt Mikaro holding his arm. "I think Kenji's being an idiot!!! Why go out with that horrible girl???" she asked.
Mikaro let go of Chinosuke to go over to slap Denosuke. "OUCH!!!" Denosuke screamed.
Mikaro smiled, evilly. "WELL!!! I can't wait for tomorrow at lunch!!!"
Chinosuke frowned, "Oh yah, that's because you're having a one on one lesson with. . ." he pronounced it improperly on purpose, "Mr. SOUJIRO!!!" he felt a tinge of jealousy on that hideous man.
Mikaro frowned back. "Yah, and so what if I am???"
"He's eight years older then you!!!"
"SO??? Age doesn't matter to me!"
"He's practically two feet taller!!!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"He's a slob! And if you ever went out with him you'd be a slut!"
Mikaro had had too much of this. She practically jumped on top of Chinosuke, but not before her loud battle cry. She began to gnaw furiously on his head. Denosuke just watched in amusement.
"What are you jealous Chinosuke?" Denosuke asked.
"No!. . . . . HELP ME!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"Uh. . . huhhh. . . right."
"No really! I'm not!!. . . . . PAIN!!! OH THE PAIN!!!"
"I guess you are since you are so protective of her. . ."
"I'm NOT!!! I'm really n. . . . WHOOOOHOOOHOOO!!!! OUUUCH!!!! HELP ME!!! HELP ME!!! CALL 911!!! ANYBODY!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!"
Mikaro finished her job and smiled at Denosuke. "Let's go home. . ." she said, voice regular. They left poor Chinosuke laying there on the ground.
"Um. . . Can anybody help me get up? Anybody??? Hello?!?!?!?"
`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Kenji and Kayami's date was wonderful. They went to see a movie, a sad romance, then went over to the arcade and had some pizza. Kayami was actually enjoying herself and found herself actually falling in love with Kenji.
"Yah. . . I've known Denosuke and Chinosuke practically since they were born!" Kenji finished.
Kayami laughed. "Wow! Sounds like you guys have been through rain and sun!"
"Yup!" Kenji took another drink of Root Beer. ((AN: Bare with me, ok?))
Kayami smiled. 'Wow. . . This guy is so nice! He's gentle. . . nice. . . kind. . . warm. . . maybe even handsome. . . Wait a second!!! Daddy is counting on me! I can't let him down!!!' but a large section of Kayami said she wanted to love Kenji. She wanted, needed, WAS in love with Kenji.
Kenji, on the other hand, was thinking about. . . well. . . roughly the same thing. They had a wonderful time, and finally it was time for Kenji to walk Kayami home.
"So where do you live?" he asked.
Kayami panicked. 'Uh oh. . . He mustn't know I'm the daughter of the own of Katsura Corp!!! Oh boy . . .' She smiled, "Well. . . Uhh. . . Just down the street from here!" she pointed to a house. "That one!"
Kenji smiled. "Ok then, let's go!" They walked over to the house and stopped at the door. Kenji smiled once more, "Really, I had a great night. I think we should do that again."
Kayami smiled and nodded. "Yes! We really should!" she put her hand on the door knob. 'I really don't wanna have to break into this house. . .oh man!! What've I got into NOW!?!?!?!?'
Kenji nodded, and without thinking, he stooped down and lightly kissed her on the lips. Her lips were so soft. . . so tiny. . . Suddenly he stopped himself. He had just kissed her without asking if he could!
Kenji pulled back. He frowned, "I'm. . . sorry. Goodnight Kayami." He walked down the porch steps and onto the street.
Kayami waited until he was out of sight when she ran away from that small house and found a limo waiting for her around the block. She frowned. She knew her father was watching.
