Chapter 2: Back to High School?

"Tomoe, you never told me Kenshin went to this school!!" Kaoru said as she walked towards her car. Kaoru was still shocked from Kenshin's actions, but she had pulled herself away from him.

"I'm sorry Kaoru, I totally forgot about it" Tomoe said

"No, it's okay Tomoe" Kaoru said and unlocked her car.

"I'll see you later okay Kaoru?" Tomoe asked

"Yeah" Kaoru said and got into her car. She waved good-bye to her sister and drove off. Kaoru sighed. When she got to her house, she decided she didn't want to sit at home anymore. She went outside for a walk. It was a beautiful day. She looked at the Sakura trees. She was never going to finish high school. Misao walked by Kaoru. Misao stopped.

"Kaoru?" Misao asked

"Misao-chan!!!" Kaoru said

"Kaoru, why don't you come back to school?" Misao asked

"Nah, I think I'm going to college though" Kaoru said

"Just for one day then?" Misao asked

"Why?" Kaoru asked

"There's no other things like high school, you know and anyways you've only missed two years and a quarter of high school" Misao said and Kaoru smiled.

"Well, I could learn a little, okay Misao you win!!" Kaoru said

"So you're coming to high school with me?" Misao asked

"Sure thing!!" Kaoru said and Misao smiled.

"Why don't you just re-do high?" Misao asked

"I would get home schooling instead of going through a public high school, kids would make fun of me!!" Kaoru said

"So then why don't you get home schooling?" Misao asked

"You know Misao that may be a great idea, got to go, bye!!!" Kaoru said and she ran off.

"I knew that would work, she's going to be smart again!!!" Misao said happily before she ran off to do her homework. Kaoru ran to her mother's school. I forgot that ma was a teacher!!!! Kaoru thought to herself as she ran to her mom's classroom. Kaoru rushed through the doors. Ayano stopped teaching.

"Kaoru, what are you doing here?" Ayano asked and then she turned to her class.

"Why don't we have a break okay?" Ayano asked and the children ran off to play.

"Kaoru-chan I told you to go and try out for college!!!" Ayano said and sat down at her desk.

"Ma, I want to be home school so I'm ready for college!!" Kaoru said

"Home schooling?" Ayano asked

"Yes mom!!!" Kaoru said

"Okay, only in the afternoons when I get off work. Oh I forgot I have a meeting with the other teachers today so I'll be home late. We'll start tomorrow okay Kaoru?" Ayano asked and Kaoru smiled.

"Thank you so much mom!!!" Kaoru said and rushed out the door. She rushed home. She got out the old desk that she and her friends used to work on when they played house. It was old, but it worked fine to write on. She grabbed an old chair and dusted it off. She cleaned up her spot that had been on the couch for what seemed like forever. She pulled out a chalk board. She sighed. This was going to take forever to learn all that Misao and her other friends had learned. She had to call up the college. She called the college.

"Hello?" a lady asked

"Yes, I came today and I filled out a form, can you cancel it for me?" Kaoru asked

"Yes, are you sure?" the lady asked

"Yes, I'm sure" Kaoru said and then hung up the phone. Kaoru sighed and then she took out her math book. Then she sat back down on the couch. Soon she was fast asleep. Ayano gently opened her front door. She had pile of books in her arms. She saw what Kaoru had done and quickly placed the books on the desk.

"She has a lot of studying to do" Ayano said into the darkness. She placed a blanket over Kaoru and then quickly walked to her room. Kaoru woke up to the sun. She looked around and her eyes spotted the desk.

"What are all these books?" Kaoru asked and Ayano walked in.

"Ma, what is this?" Kaoru asked

"Well, you said you wanted to learn, so I bought you some books" Ayano said and sipped the coffee she had in her hands. She handed a cup to Kaoru.

"Now, it's time for school to start!!!" Ayano said

"But ma, don't you have to teach today?" Kaoru asked

"No, it's a Saturday silly!!" Ayano said and Kaoru got up and walked towards the desk. She sat down. A couple hours later Kaoru was really into all the school work. Ayano taught her all through the week. When Ayano got home from work, she would teach Kaoru. They had always had fun and they would always work hard. Kaoru learned so much. At the end of the year, Kaoru had learned everything that you would learn in high school. At the end of the year..... Kaoru walked towards the college Tomoe was in. Kaoru walked into the building. She walked into the office where she had been a year before.

"So, after a year, you're back?" the lady from the front desk asked

"Yes, I'm back to try out for college again" Kaoru said and the lady handed her a form. She quickly filled out the form and then handed it back. Kaoru walked out of the office. Kaoru looked around for Kenshin. She spotted him and then ran to him.

"Kenshin, is that you?" Kaoru asked and Kenshin looked at her right in the eye.

"Yes, Kaoru" Kenshin said and Kaoru looked at Kenshin. He remembers me..... Kaoru thought.

"Kenshin you promise!!!" Kaoru said and Kenshin looked at her.

"Promised you what?" Kenshin asked

"You promised that you would wait for me and then you have a girlfriend when I meet you a year after you leave" Kaoru said

"Well, Kaoru times change!!" Kenshin said

"It's not only the time that has changed, it's you too" With that Kaoru walked out of the building....
