Title: When doves cry

Chapter one: Why me?

" " When someone speaks

It was a beautiful evening at the Kamiya castle

"Kaoru!!!!!!" Kaoru's mother screeched throughout the castle

"Kaoru!!!!!!" She screamed again

Kaoru was in the bathroom underwater. (AN: Make sense? so she can't hear????)

When she thought she heard her mother call her

name.

"Mother, are you calling me?" Kaoru asked entering the hall.

"What are you doing? The ball starts soon and Soujiro is coming soon! You better

hurry!" Kaoru's mother said (AN: I need a name!!)

"Mother, I told you I don't want to go with Soujiro." Kaoru said tears

swelling up in her eyes.

"Well, you'll have to live with it. I hope he asks for your hand soon."

Kaoru's mother said.

"Kaoru!" Misao yelled.

"Hi Misao!" Kaoru said running to her.

"Kaoru! The balls tonight and I'm going to see Lord Aoshi!!!!!" Misao said

going to "la la land."

"At least you get to go with somebody who you love." Kaoru said sadly.

"You two need to hurry and get dressed!" Kaoru's mother said excitedly.

"Come on Misao, let's get dressed. Oh I have this navy gown that is so

pretty!" Kaoru said.

"I have a purple one! Let's go!" Misao exclaimed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the Himura castle....

"Kenshin!" Kenshin's mother called (AN: Yes, they are going through the

same thing....in a way.....)

"Coming!" Kenshin said exiting his room.

"Sweetie, you need to tell Tomoe, that we will be attending a ball!"

Kenshin's mother said coming in the room.

"Oh Kenshin, your going to look so good for Tomoe!" Kenshin's mother said

happily.

"I don't like Tomoe." Kenshin stated.

"Kenshin, honey, I know you don't but your dad wants you two to marry. At

least your not engaged....yet." Kenshin's mother

said in a sad way.

"Oh my God! Kenshin we have to go now!!!" Kenshin's mother said running for

the exit.

(AN: So do I have to write about them exiting?)

They went to the carriage and were very close to Tomoe's house.

"Now Kenshin, I know you don't like Tomoe. But please just be nice!"

Kenshin's mother said as they stopped in front of

Tomoe's house.

Tomoe entered the carriage. She was wearing a strapless white gown with ryne

stones on it (AN: I don't like Tomoe at

all. Sorry Tomoe fans...also I don't know what year it is either nor if I

should let them wear kimono's or gowns…help?!!)

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Himura." Tomoe said

"Hello, Tomoe." Kenshin parent's said at the same time. But Kenshin didn't

say anything so his mother ginked him in his

chest.

"Hello Tomoe-san." Kenshin said trying not to be mean to her. (AN: should he

be mean? should he? should he?)

"Oh Hi Kenshin!" Tomoe said hugging him, cutting all of his circulations off.

"This is going to be a long night." He sighed

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They finally arrived to the Kamiya castle.

Tomoe looked around and she saw a man that she liked from her Kingdom (AN:

Yip, Akira all right.)

"Akira do you want to dance?" Tomoe asked.

"Whatever." Akira answered.

Kenshin was very happy that Tomoe was dancing with *someone* else. So he

scanned the room and then he saw that his best friend

was with some three other girls. One wore a strapless green gown with

flowers, (AN: Megumi) another one wore a purple

sleeveless gown with flowers on it (Misao) and the last one wore a navy blue sleeveless

gown with an "X" on the back with a see through

material at the top and some flowers on it (Kaoru). He was interested in the

one in the navy blue gown. So he went up to

them.

"Hey Sano." Kenshin said.

"Yo Kenshin, isn't that Tomoe dancing with Akira?" Sano asked.

"Yeah, isn't that a relief?" Kenshin asked.

"You have a point there." Sano said.

"Anyways Kenshin you know Megumi, and these are her friends Kaoru Kamiya and

Misao Mackinachi. This is Kenshin Himura" Sano

said.

"It's nice to meet you Ms.Kaoru and Ms.Misao" Kenshin said putting on a

smile

"Well it's nice to meet you too Kenshin." Kaoru said putting on her sweetest

smile.

"Yeah! It's really nice to meet you Himura-san!" Misao said.

"Has anybody seen Lord Aoshi?" Misao asked.

"Has anybody seen Soujiro?" Kaoru asked.

"No, I haven't seen him." Misao answered.

"Great! That means I am free tonight!" Kaoru said happily.

Then really slow music started to play, and everybody was on the dance floor

except for Kenshin and Kaoru. So Kenshin got

some courage and he.... asked Kaoru to...

"Ms.Kaoru, can I have this dance?" Kenshin asked.

"I'd love to, Kenshin." Kaoru said sweetly.

They got to the dance floor. Kenshin put his hands around her waist, and she

around his neck.

"So is it quiet around this kingdom?" Kenshin asked

She rested her head on his shoulder saying

"Most of the-" She was cut off by a loud noise

"What was that?" Kaoru said getting scared.

"I think it was a gunshot, Kaoru" Kenshin said looking around for somebody

with a gun.

Just then someone shot the king and queen (AN: Kaoru's parents)

"NO!!!!!!! DAD!!!! MOM!!!!!!!" Kaoru screamed as she went to them.

"K-Kaoru-chan, We're sorry we can't be there for you anymore, b-but please

marry Soujiro for us." Kaoru's father managed

to say.

"Dad, I don't want to marry him." Kaoru said through her tears.

"T-Then just follow your heart. Make us proud" Kaoru's dad trying to give a

smile.

"Someone call an ambulance!" Kenshin screamed arriving to the scene.

But it was too late, Kaoru's parents had died. Kaoru ran to the nearest

room (AN: which was a guest room).

Kenshin followed her.

"Kaoru?" Kenshin asked

"Y-Y-Yes?" Kaoru managed to say through her sobs. But she broke down.

Kenshin pulled her into an embrace so tight, that if

he let her go, they would die. Even if they did not know each other well,

it felt right. When they where with each other...

Everything would be all right....

Song of the day: When doves cry

How can you leave me stranded? out in a world that is so so cold

Maybe I'm too demanding, or maybe I'm like my father too

Oh maybe I'm just like my mother, but she's never satisfied.

This is what it sounds like, when you hear doves cry. When doves cry cry cry

cry criezza

(Repeat)
