I am SOOOOOOO sorry for taking forever to update. I've just been really
afraid that the sequel won't stand up to the first because it's a LOT more
dramatic and stuff... oh well... I hope you like it. Sorry for taking a while
to update. I hope all my readers from last time come back. Anyway, go
enjoy.
P.S. If you like Fushigi Yuugi, go read Kirei's prophecy
P.P.S. I'm posting a story on Fictionpress.com called Office hours. It's really funny, and it's my most well written, I can promise you that. So, go check it out. It's a romance.
P.P.P.S. There are only a couple of Kenshin P.O.W.'s, and this chap is NOT one of them.
Disclaimer: How much do u want to bet I own Rurouni Kenshin? You might not wanna bet very much.... TRUST ME.
Light assaulted my eyes as I shifted in the bed. I groaned and pulled the sheet up to cover my face. My movement caused the man beside me to tighten his grip on my slim waist. I growled at the arm around me, but did not push it away. The feel of the arm on my bare pale skin was almost intolerable, but after 2 years of waking up like this I've gotten accustomed to it.
"Morning." The deep male voice breathed against my neck.
"Morning." I replied in the most chipper voice I had. I was not a morning person.
"Such a delightful way to wake up, in the arms of the one you love, ne?" He asked pulling me even closer to him.
"Yeah, but we can't stay like this forever. I'm starved." I got up, and pushed his arm away. Thank God. Grabbing a robe, I slipped it on, tied my waist length black hair back with my favorite black hair band, and left the room. I moved through the familiar gigantic mansion, not bothering to look at the beautiful paintings that hung from the walls, the sculptures that stood in every corner, or even the expensive rugs that shielded my feet from the cold of the floor. I had seen it all before, and once you got used to it, it wasn't a big deal anyway. Finally I reached the kitchen. "Morning Megumi." I smiled at the older woman who was cooking something that smelt utterly divine.
"Morning Rox." She flashed a smile at me, pushing some strands of her long black hair behind her ears, "Bacon?"
"You know it!" I exclaimed rushing to get a plate, "My favorite breakfast food."
"Don't hog all the bacon." Isaru yelled half jogging into the room followed by Matt, Devon, and Kyo. (A/N: ACK I tried doing some Japanese names, but then I wanted American names, and blah... Sorry... hehe...)
"I'd never!" I protested, but still heaped most of it on my plate. In two seconds I was attacked, and left with only 3 pieces of Bacon. "Thieves!" I growled.
"Not like it's a secret." Devon grinned, mouth stuffed with bacon. And she was right. It wasn't a secret. I was the sweetheart of a well-known gang leader. Jineh was known all over the city, and no one messed with him. He changed him name to Big J because he wanted to sound "cool." I thought the name Big J sounded ridiculous, but whatever. I lived in this monstrous house he had bought in the country, AKA in the middle of nowhere. For miles around there's only grass and trees and NOTHING. Calling it boring would be an understatement. Living in the house is Jineh, his four bodyguards, Matt, Isaru, Devon, Kyo, Megumi, and I, oh and there were other random guards living here too. There was no need for more protection beyond guards. No one was stupid enough to try and break into this mansion. So, there were no security cameras in the entire house. Thank God because it would've been so eerie having someone watching me every day every minute on a little television screen or whatever.
Matt, Isaru, Kyo, Megumi, and Devon all work for Big J. They're my friends, and they're fun to hang around with when they aren't off on business. Matt is the cutest guy a girl could hope for. He's extremely charming and suave, but once you get past all of that you see a little boy with one thing on his mind (if you know what I mean). Matt has the ability to laugh no matter what. I still can't understand how he became a spy for Jineh. Anyway, Isaru is almost Matt's twin (personality wise). It's funny because Matt is originally from England so it's like Isaru is the Japanese version of Matt. He's also a spy. Kyo is the most sophisticated of them all. He's a researcher for Jineh. Surprisingly, he's gay, which is a shame because his long brown hair and gentle green eyes have gotten him plenty of female attention that he just didn't want. Megumi is the scientist/Doctor. She's the oldest, and is always calm and collected like Kyo, but unlike Kyo Megumi has the scariest temper. If she's angry with you, run for cover because she'll tear you to shreds. Last, but not least, there's Devon. Devon is my closest friend here. She's American. She has this amazing long blonde hair, and beautiful blue eyes. Matt and Isaru spend most of the day drooling over her. She's always happy and bubbly no matter what happens. I used to think she was a spy because her room is full of wigs and sunglasses, different colored contacts, costumes, and stuff. I forgot who it was that told me she wasn't a spy, but they refused to tell me what she really does. I've always wanted to ask, but never have. All five of them go out with Jineh on missions. I have no clue what they do on these missions because I, being the poor helpless damsel, get the joy of staying in this house and rotting away. It sucks. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up with Big J, but I can't remember anything. Big J says we met at a dance club, and we danced our way into each other's hearts. Funny thing, I've been here for two years, and I've yet to feel the love that Big J insists we had before my memory left me. He even refuses to tell me how I lost my memory. He says the story is too painful to re-tell. What a load of crap.
"Where are you guys going anyway?" I asked scooping some eggs into my plate.
"Doesn't matter, you're not coming." Matt said sipping his OJ.
"Why not?" I glared at him.
"Because we wouldn't want you getting hurt." Big J said from the doorway. His usual 4 guards surrounded him.
"Of course." I snorted.
"You're much too delicate to be put in any danger." He said soothingly, taking my hand in his. I fought not to snatch my hand back.
"I'd be with Devon, Kyo, Matt, Megumi, AND Isaru. What possibly could happen to me?!?!?!"
"A lot. Plus Devon and Megumi aren't coming with me. Their staying here to keep you company. So you won't be bored."
"Yeah, we can do girl stuff or whatever," Devon smiled fingering her blonde hair.
"It'll be fun." Megumi agreed, munching on toast.
"I still want to go." I crossed my arms in frustration.
" Too bad." Big J said, signaling the end of the conversation, and walking off with his bodyguards following him. Matt, Isaru, and Kyo followed him, shooting me a glance that said 'Sorry'. This very same scene has been played out before me nearly every week for the past 2 years. It's the same thing every time! I beg to go with them, Jineh says some crap about protecting me, and I get stuck in this huge ass, boring mansion. I'm so bored by all of this crap that it's almost painful!
I sighed heavily, and returned my attention to my eggs, ignoring Megumi and Devon trying to cheer me up.
This is my life, and it's more than time for a change.
PREVIEW: Every time I close my eyes I see her. I see her staring out in wonder at the butterflies that time when we were in the park. That time I showed her my secret spot. I see her falling to the ground, tears pooled in her eyes, at the feet at Jineh
BTW-
: The reason I picked the name "The Real Me" is partially because I had no freaking clue what to name this fic, and partially because Kaoru's gonna be stuck between two sides of herself, and is going to have to find the real her... I guess... Ack... I plan on this being a trilogy of fictions and thinking about it now, I probably should have named the next one after this "The real me". Damn I'm bad at this... --
Well, I'm off to play FF X-2! TOODLES!
