Chapter 4
'Is This The Beginning Or The End'
Kaoru got up in the morning tears in her eyes. She hated it when she had the strangest and the most realistic nightmares, and that night was one of them. Her life was blown out of proportion and things weren't going right at all, not matter who tried.
"Kaoru-chan?" Kaoru looked at her opened shouji and found her father standing there a little worried.
"Hai, otousan?"
"I think you should take a break today, I already let Soujirou rest today. You both been workin hard and I think you deserve a day of break. Tomorrow you may resume." He smiled at her and she nodded.
"Arigatou." Kaoru whispered as he slid the door back. She got up slowly from her futon and made her way to the closet and began to take out anything to wear, after all-today was free dress day at school.
__________________________*_____________________________
Kenshin was jogging around the park, looking through the side of his eyes for any signs of Kaoru so he could talk with her-or better yet, walk with her to school. He was dressed in some jeans, and a designer shirt his mom just purchased for him.
Then as he rounded the same tree for the 30th time, he saw Kaoru turning from the street house and on the sidewalk by the park.
"MATTE KAORU-DONO!" Kenshin hollered and he was smiling as he saw Kaoru's head turn his direction.
"Oh, Kenshin!" Kaoru called happily as she stopped and waited for him to arrive. After all, he was hte one who told her to wait.
"Oi, whoo." Kenshin annouced as he made it to Kaoru, bending and breathing in and out. Kaoru giggled a bit, but also enjoying the show of flexing muscles Kenshin produced with a simple motion as bending down.
"So, you look very lovely today." Kenshin complimented Kaoru as she was quickly snapped back to reality. She blushed, knowing Kenshin knew she was staring at him the whole time. So she looked away to hide her face.
"Domo, you look handsome yourself." Now it was Kenshin's turn to turn red and both of them walked side by side, their faces red as cherries.
Kaoru was receiving glances on her way to school, becuase of her outfit, she guessed. She wore a cute sheer skirt, with something under to cover, and she wore a nice shirt that rode low to show off her chest a bit.
"We have a shoot today." An anonomyous voice annouced and suddenly both Kenshin and Kaoru turned to their side and saw Hiko leaning on a fence beer bottle and cell phone in hand.
"Oh, what time Hiko-san." Kaoru asked politely, also uncomfortably.
"During school time, I'll come with you and ask the principle to let you out of school by lunch time, we need you more today-since we're traveling to different areas in Tokyo and getting more shots taken." Hiko answeredm kicking himself off the fence and walking behind the two teenagers.
"So, um-what about our test we have today?" Kenshin whispered to Kaoru.
"I don't know, do we have to make it up or something?" Kaoru asked back, not really answering Kenshin's quesiton.
"You both need not to worry, we have a tutor on hand, and I'll ask the principle what you are currently learning and we'll cram it into your little heads during the trip." Hiko answered both questions and now the whole walk was silent.
__________________________*_____________________________
"Sure, okay, thanks for you time." Hiko bowed and left the office and went in serach of the two who left, when he told them to stay put.
"Kaoru, is that true? You're going to leave in a few minutes? And go around this city?" Misao gleamed her eyes sparkling and just then Hiko rounded the hall nad saw how kawaii Misao looked and reconsidered getting another person from an old agency. When kaoru had cute looking friends, why not get them in it too, they won't be lonely at least.
So Hiko flipped open his cell and began dialing Tomoe, to ask if she wanted to see Kaoru with her kawaii friends too.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Ah, Tomoe? Hiko, I think I found more talent."
"Where? Who? How?"
"Here, Kaoru's friends, Easy." Hiko smirked as he heard Tomoe telling him to rush them over then.
"Ahem, Kaoru, time to go." Hiko annouced as he finally showed himself to the chattering females.
"oh, Gomen you guys I have to go, ja Misao and Megumi!" Kaoru turned to leave but she noticed Hiko not following and turned back.
"Misao, and Megumi, ne?" Hiko asked.
"Hai." Both of them annouced, stnading straight and fairly scared of the taller adn muscular agent man.
"Come with Kaoru, keep her company." They gleamed and ran up to Kaoru and hugged her and began jumping up and down.
"Go to the limo out there, I just called for one-don't get in yet because I have and annoucement to make once I gather Kenshin." Hiko left the other way and found Kenshin just sitting on the stairs with his buddies, Sano and Aoshi.
"Yo' you must be Kenshin's agent, allllll right." Sano jumped down from the staircase frame and landed beside Hiko hand outfront.
"Hey, and you are?" Hiko asked, and looking for the first time-straight into someone's eyes.
"Sagara Sanosuke, calle me Sano." He grinned and Hiko began to cultivate ideas about the shoot-mabe instead of hired hand, they should hire, real live highschoolers!
"And who's he?" Hiko asked indicating Aoshi.
"Shinomori Aoshi." Kenshin replied getting up, so was Aoshi.
And for the second time that day, or his whole life, he was looking into other's face-directly his height.
"Kenshin, why are you so short, with such tall friends?" Hiko couldn't help but wonder. And Sano burst into tears as he rolled on the ground, with Aoshi trying to feign his laugh by coughing.
"Don't mind them, they're jsut tall because they are. I'm fine the way I am. So time to go? Bye guys." Kenshin made his way and like Kaoru was stopped.
"Sano, Aoshi, accompany Kenshin here-we may need you two." Hiko turned and led the way out to the limo, where the girls were waiting.
__________________________*_____________________________
"Okay, listen up, since I've brought along your friends, whose names are...Misao, Megumi, Sano, and Aoshi, you will be separate couple shoots. I will pair you off-and you will have no objections alright?" Hiko had already planned who will be with who and things were going smoothly.
"Do we get paid?" Sano blurted out adn Megumi sighed, slapping him lightly.
"Do you always think of things like those?"
"Ahem, yes you will get paid, but don't be too greedy, since you are new to this-you won't be getting as much as Kaoru and Kenshin here." They all settled back as Hiko explained and then they arrived at the first shooting area.
"Before you leave this limo, I'll tell you who you will pair up with. Sano, Aoshi-" Hiko was interrupted by loud yelling.
"Hell no!!!! I'm not gay! Shit I'm out of here!" Sano was about to leave but Hiko threw an umbrella and it stuck to the door, stopping Sano from getting out.
"I was not finish, rooster. Sano you are with Megumi. Aoshi you are with Misao." Hiko annouced and all of them nodded, reluctantly.
"OKay Kaoru, Kenshin follow me-you four go with her." Tomoe suddenly opened the door with the umbrella and she smiled.
"A bit of a fight?" Tomoe held the door for the four to get out and they followed her after her examining each one.
"Are you two ready?" Hiko had something behind his back that he was smirking about.
"For what? Aren't we just taking pictures?" Kenshin asked, ready to defend if it was neccessary.
"This." Hiko brought out what he was hiding and Kaoru absolutely went screeching.
"It's US!!!!" Kaoru screamed looking at the two people who looked like lovers.
"It IS!" Kenshin hollered and two tennagers screaming inside a limo echoes outside and Megumi and Sano and Misao nad Aoshi all turned toward that direction seeing the limo jumping up and down rocking a lot.
"Um---ahem." Aoshi turned Misao the other direction and began walking away.
"ALRIGHT! GET "EM!" Sano yelled and Megumi pinched his ear and puled him following Aoshi.
"Calm down. Now you see-you're making it big. And to top it all off- you've been given many offers since this magazine hit the newsstand." Hiko proudly produce many contracts for the two to see.
"Hey, but most of these-don't want us together." Kenshin noticed and soon Kaoru did too. They only want one or another, only one had an offer for two.
"So-let this be, a nice friendly competition, okay?" Hiko tried to lighten the mood, but the two were sadden, Kaoru especially, because she had less offers than Kenshin.
"Sure." Kaoru quieted down and Kenshin noticed why.
"Let's just shoot this cover and go out to eat okay?" Kenshin offered to Kaoru and she nodded.
"Let's go." Kaoru was escourted out of the limo by Kenshin and he held her at the waist to try to comfort her. Maybe it might not be the same after this shoot.
'Maybe I shouldn't have shown them the offers.' Hiko saw the gloomy faces of the two teenagers who were just wild ago by their first magazine cover.
__________________________*_____________________________
Tomoe saw the two pass her and knew-Hiko done that thing she told him to avoid.
"YOU IDIOT!" Tomoe scremaed running toward the lagging Hiko and started to hit him in the chest.
"GOMEN NASAII!" Hiko apologized and Tomoe didn't stop until Hiko caught her tiny hands.
"I told you not to do that-they don't know do they-they don't know that they don't have to take those offers. You always do that, get too excited and do something I told you do not do!" Tomoe pulled her hands back and turned her back to him.
"Gomen. But they'll make it big though." Hiko felt guiltier now.
"Right, making it big-it isn't always the best if their friendship doesn't survive the path to stardom." Tomoe then went to the other 2 couples that exited the makeup trailer and costume.
"Okay, I need you two to come with me." Tomoe glared back at Hiko and then led the two away with the other two being led by another person.
__________________________*_____________________________
As Kaoru was leaning against a small pole, Kenshin laid his head in her lap. This was a Spring pose and it was a serene scene. Two lovers relaxing by the lake on a sunny day.
"Is this the beginning or the end?" Kenshin whispered to Kaoru as he looked at he camera and Kaoru looked down and brushed a few strands back.
"Do you know?" She asked and then leaned over and did what wasn't suppose to be done.
She bent down to his cheek and kissed him and they caught a picture of that-and it was the sweetest, but if you look closely at Kaoru's face, you could see a tear making it's way down her face.
A/n: Like it? Hope you do. Sorry it's been so freaking long since hte last update. Review please?
