Kirika waited with an irritated Karou at the front gate. "Where the hell
are they?" she cried angrily. As if by magic (more like fear of Karou)
Kenshin, Aoshi and Sano walked towards them. "What took you so long! All
the good stores are gonna close soon!" Karou screeched. "We had to deal
with something." Her brother replied brushing off his sister's anger.
The crowded streets seemed to intake more and more people as the minutes passed. Standing at the corner of Orchard and Balsa, a rush of people flew towards them. Within minutes Kenshin and Kirika stood together looking around quickly. "Where'd Karou go?" Kirika asked. "Who knows, probably at the nearest shop or something." Kenshin said walking with her across the street. "Ooo look! Starbucks!" Kirika screamed dragging Kenshin into the shop.
A few minutes later they walked out of the store. Kirika with her Vanilla Crème Frappacino and Kenshin with his Chi Tea, headed towards the small park in the center of the busy city. For such a small park it held out a lot of the sound from the cars and people, yelling, screaming and laughing.
Kirika sat on the ledge of the water fountain in the center with Kenshin standing near her. Both quiet, not knowing what to talk about. Kirika jumped slightly when she heard her phone ring. Quickly she pulled out the small silver slide phone and held it up to speak. "Hello? Oh hi Mr. Yamamato. No, no I didn't forget what next Saturday is...well, not exactly... but! Fine. No I'm not in the building, I'm out. I'll be back soon. No I won't forget tonight either. The park in the city, yes the small one. Ok, bye." Finally she slid the phone shut and sighed heavily. "What's up?" Kenshin asked finally sitting next to her.
Karou looked around widely. "Oh great, we lost them. Kenshin better not do anything stupid or I'll kill him." she hissed. "Did anyone ever tell you that you have major anger problems?" Aoshi said to her. "And this is coming from a guy who beats people up with my brother?" Aoshi laughed. 'Oh he has such a sexy laugh.' She thought dreamily to herself. Mental slap. 'No I can't think like that now...ah shoe store....' Quickly she grabbed Aoshi and ran into the shoe shore on the corner.
About 200 shoe pairs later they finally emerged with a bag of 6 kinds of different shoes. "Oooo! Cloths!" Again she dragged Aoshi into the store full of girls, giggling and watching him with great interest. (I mean who wouldn't Aoshi's sexy!) Karou stared at the girls, heat rising to her face. She stalked over to Aoshi and gently tugged him out of the store.
A little ways down the street Aoshi asked, "You weren't jealous of them were you?" Karou rolled her eyes. "No! Why would I? I mean just 'cuz they were staring out doesn't mean I would get jealous!" she responded quickly. "Uh huh..." Karou began to feel strange as he walked quietly next to her. "Wanna get an ice cream?" Her cheeks flushed bright red. "S sure." Aoshi gave her one of his heart-warming smiles and walked her into the ice cream store.
"Oh nothing's wrong its just Mr. Yamamato, sort of like my advisor, didn't know I was going shopping and flipped out 'cuz he didn't have a clue as to where I was. So he has to pick me up now for a meeting with some person and...." Kirika looked over and saw that Kenshin had absolutely no clue what was going on. "Um... never mind. Lets just say that I have a lot of things going on a once." Kenshin smiled. "I know that feeling. My father wants me to start taking over the family company. He does import export technology and software, the whole trade thing. But I just don't want to. I mean, I want to have more time before I take over and be locked up in the office like he is." Kirika placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure he'll understand if you tell him. He's your father; besides you're only young once."
Kirika headed over to the street where a large black limo had pulled up to. "Tell your sister I'll see her tomorrow. Bye Kenshin!" Kenshin stared as the car drove off, leaving him to stare after her faded image in which the light had hit her so perfectly that she almost seemed unreal.
