When Will The Torture End
By: Silver Teardrops
Chapter 3
We finally had enough of walking around and settled in a cafe nearby. Sano was surprisingly kind after so long. Actually I've never been close to him even before he moved, so I don't actually know if he's changed or not.
"Kaoru-dono?" Sano asked as he snapped his fingers.
"Huh?" My reply- so simple yet very lame.
""I asked if you want anything to eat?"
"Oh, just coffee will be enough, domo." I smiled as he chuckled and went to retrieve the drinks. I started humming just to calm my nerves down. Then I saw Sano coming back- buth with another girl- younger than me.
"Hey. Kaoru-dono, this here is Tsubame, my sister.: Sano let Tsubame slide into the booth first then he sat down giving each of us something to drink.
"It's nice to mee you Sagara-chan." I greeted Tsubame with a smile, but she blushed.
"Please, just call me Tsuabme, I'm not too keen on formalities Kaoru-dono." Tsubame said refusing the name I called her.
"sumanu, I didn't know, just call me Kaoru then, no -dono, ne?"
"Sure." She smiled and I immediately knew I liked her. We sat and tlaked for a while until I knew that I had to get back or Misao and Aoshi will worry over me.
"I must get going Sano. It was fun- maybe we should do it again some time." I said sincerely, he was fun to hang out with or so I just noticed.
"Yeah we should, and I could invite Kenshin and maybe some others too." Sano suggested sliding out of the booth. I nervously laughed.
"A-ano,yeah. That'd be nice." I squeaked ou. I then got up and bowed and left for my so-called home. When I arrived Aoshi was sitting on the front steps- seemingly waiting for me. His ice cold eyes pierced into mines and frozed me on the spot. Then his mouth moved.
"You're back."
"Yeah I am." I replied meekily.
"Misao left to go look for you."
"Oh, why?"
"Because, we were worried." I smiled as he said that; Aoshi cared. I went to his side and sat down by him.
"I see- you're troubled." His serious voice sounded beside me. I sighed and leaned my head on his shoulder.
"I've made friends with Sano, but I've met- Kenshin." My voice sounded very melancholy.
"I see." I felt him move uncomforatbly under my head but I knew he didn't mind much.
"Kenshin- he doesn't remember me at all. And he had someone else." I wanted to cry so badly, but I held it in.
"He doesn't remember you, eh?" It's because of how much you've grwon. You aren't a plain-nice girl anymore, you're a woman- beautiful and graceful." Aoshi calmed me somewhat, but he still forgot me.
"But- I just don't know. I hope you don't mind my head resting here." I said blushing slightly.
"Iie, it's alriaght." He replied, not an emotion was heard jsut a voice. I enjoyed the silence, since I had too much happenings today and it was enough for me- I needed some quiet time, and who else to go to but Aoshi? The silent guy. I began to nod off and went into a nice nap, much needed also...
_______________________
Aoshi noticed Kaoru's head get heavier and knew she had fallen asleep. So he sat still and waited for his beloved to come back. A few more minutes passed and a figure appeared at the gate of the place and Aoshi's eyes began to crinkled at the edges.
"Hey guess who came back to us?" Aoshi's light-hearted voice came out for one and only one woman. The figure came closer and smiled happily.
"Our little Kaoru." Misao's voice was more matured, more calm-unlike how she's first been when she first met Aoshi. But spending time with him made her realize her abrupt actions and speech, but she still gets crazy once in a while.
Misao took a seat by aoshi and clunged onto his free arm and he leaned on her. They sat like that admiring the sky turning hues of different colors. Today passed quite fast for them, but they enjoyed it as long as they were with each other. Soon Aoshi got to his feet and Misao to hers and Kaoru snuggled in Aoshi's arms as the three entered the building. Aoshi had a spare key of each of their rooms so it was easy to place Kaoru's in hers and make his back to Misao's for a nice comfortable dinner.
______________________________
I woke up with a ring in my ear. The telephone, who invited such an annoying device? I stretched my arms and reached for it at the head of the couch and pulled it to my ear.
"What?" I said sleepily into the phone. Then I soon regretted it.
"Manners Kaoru." Aoshi's cold voice made chills run down my spine.
"Oh gomen. Um Whats up?" I said getting to a seating position.
"WE just finished dinner and Misao has so kindly went to your apartment and placed a plate for you. It's quite delicious and we hope you appreciate it, or more as to I hope you appreciate Misao's kindness."
"Oh arigatou, I am I am. I'll do dinner tomorrow then!" I said enthusiatically. I heard nothing but silence and could imagine Aoshi with a sweatdrop on him. I knew he didn't care much for my cooking...oh well.
"Um Ahem. That is all I wanted to tell you. Have a nice night." Aoshi's voice then came back on. I smiled.
"Oyasuminasai To both of you!" I said happily and hung up, not feeling too bad anymore. I went to the small table in the dinning area and got to my knees and and rubbed my hands together. Misao was a great cook and with Aoshi helping was twice as good.
I ate and finshed and soon felt a little too full and grabbed a light jacket and keys and went for a walk.
It was cooler at night but I didn't mind. I hope Aoshi doesn't call to check in on me, or he'll be mad and Misao is going to lose her patience and go back to her old self, and I really didn't want that. I was humming again, but this time out of relaxation. Kyoto wasn't as bad, but I still needed to get used to it. I closed my eyes to enjoy the soft winds blowing and then I was knocked to the ground.
I opened my eyes and reached at my back, shoot that hurted. I then saw the opposing person in front of me on his back also.
"Hey...I'm sorry." I got up and apologized, closing my eyes and repeatidly bowing my head. I heard some scuffling and some dusting and waiting for him to yell at me for being such a clutz but it never came, instead a voice I loved came to.
"Kaoru-dono? It is you. I'm sorry I should of looked where I was going." Kenshin smiled at me dusting at his shirt. I loved it when he smiled- STOP THAT KAORU! I mentally scolded myself.
"What are you doing out here so late?" I asked him instead of accepting his apology.
"Oh, I was just sending out invitations to my party coming up. For Spring you know? Oh yeah I have one for you too." Kenshin dug in his bag and got out a nice crisp blue invitation and smiled at me telling me to take it. I took it and he bowed.
"I have to get going, more invitations. Hope to see you there? Ja Ne Kaoru-dono." Kenshin waved as he ran away, as fast as ever. I was shocked, still in place.
Oh dear, oh Kami-sama, oh...I was happy inside but I was also nervous...why did I have to be? He's gone already, but what I held in my hand was probably the reason why I was still shaking.
It was an invitation to Kenshin's upcoming bash, it was for the beginning of Spring and I wanted to go, but it was he who still had control over me. And darn him because of that, Misao said that I had to let go-or at least face him, I think. I opened it as I went back to the apartment building. I looked up and saw a figure dash away with red hair, did other people from our school live in the same building? Oh well.
I read it over and over. It was formal yet, he was too, so every little detail was contain and made sure, that was so like him. I read it aloud as I entered my room.
"You are invited Kamiya Kaoru to my- Himura Kenshin- Spring Bash.
It will be held this upcoming Saturday March 14th, and I hope you will be there.
There will be activities such as swimming and dancing and even singing. It will be causual dress, until the evening.
You don't have to attend both parties, but the morning to late afternoon is a causual dress 'fun' party while the evening bash will be what most will attend.
It will be formal dressing and it is to raise money for charity for the orphans.
So I hope you would attend both. The first party will begin at: 9 am-5:30 pm.
The second charity bash will begin at: 6 pm-10pm.
Hope to see you there Kamiya Kaoru.
Questions please ask me personally-Himura Kenshin" I sighed, I will go to both of course. I wanted to have FUN and I wanted to help the charity. If he remembers anything, he should know that I like to help out in charities and I used to be an orpham myself, so it was something I looked forward to.
The phone rang, yet again that evening and I picked it up.
"Moshi moshi?" I said tiredly. I yawned as I plopped on the chair.
"Sorry to bother you so late Kaoru, but I- or we just received an invitation to Kenshin's party, we were wondering if you received yours?" Misao's voice asked. Kaoru smiled.
"Sure did. You going to both?"
"We plan to, yes."
"Ah, very well then see you tomorrow?"
"Goodnight." Misao hung up and I did the same and went to my bed and took off all my outer clothing and slid into bed with a top on and some undies and went to sleep. Tomorrow, it might go better than today's exhausting events.
A/n: I have no idea who said that Sano calls Kaoru Little Missy instead of Kaoru-dono, I'm aware of that, I am. I just want to make it seem that Sano is like a follower of Kenshin's-you know, copy his style of language and everything, but don't worry. Kaoru is going to change Sano's way of thinking soon enough and he will get rid of that phony talking he does. Hehehe I hope you like Review please Minna-san????
