Chapter 5: Kari

[Kaoru's POV]

I sipped the tea Seta had given her. I smiled at him.

"So what do you like to do?" I asked

"Well, I'm going off to college soon," Seta said

"Oh, where?" I asked

"I'm going to go to a science college in Michigan.." Seta said and blushed.

"Oh don't worry.... It's not that bad!!" I said and smiled. Was she falling for Seta?

"So do you want to go out for dinner tonight?" Seta asked

"I'd loved to!!" I said

"Pick you up about seven?" Seta asked

"I'll just walk over from my dad's house..... I'm visiting him" I said

"You mean your parents aren't together?" Seta asked

"No way, it's all my Grandma fault. She forced my dad to leave and now I hate her!!" I said

"Oh, I'm sorry" Seta said

"It's fine!!" I said and I smiled. Seta smiled back at me. I loved his smiled. He was so handsome!!

"Well then I'll see you tonight!!" I said and walked towards the door. Seta opened the door for me and I waved good-bye. I was so happy. I walked towards my dad's house. I felt a hand grab me. I turned around only to see Kenshin.

"What do you want?" I asked meanly.

"So are you going out with that guy Seta?" Kenshin asked

"What do you know?" I asked

"I saw you talking to that guy... You like him don't you?" Kenshin asked

"Never will I tell you, you know that right?" I asked and Kenshin nodded. I walked away and I rang my dad's door bell.

"Hey Kaoru!!" Hoshi greeted me as I walked into his house. There was a young girl about my age. She had dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. She had tinted orange lip gloss on. She wore a short skirt and a mid drift shirt.

"Hello, my name is Kari, after my grandmother!!" Kari said and smiled.

"Hey Kari, my name is Kaoru... It's very nice to meet you!!" I said

"I will show you around this place..... Well since you are now my half sister!!" Kari said

"Oh I forgot we were half sisters!!" I said and blushed.

"Oh it's fine!!" Kari said and I thought she was a very nice girl. She was also beautiful.

"Oh, I forgot... I have to go at seven! I have a date with Seta!!" I said and I looked into Kari's eyes. It was like she was looking beyond me. As if she could see something that nobody else could see.

"Are you okay Kari?" I asked and Kari snapped out of her weird mood.

"Oh yes I'm fine!!" Kari said

"So do you have a boyfriend?" I asked and Kari nodded.

"Yes, his name is Enshi, very nice!!" Kari said

"I've met Enshi!!" I said and Kari looked surprise.

"You did?" Kari asked

"Yes, at high school we were in the same science class!!" I said

"Did he say anything about me?" Kari asked and I nodded.

"He showed me your picture and talked about you all the time!!" I said and Kari blushed.

"Can I talk to you?" Kari asked and I nodded. We walked into Kari's room.

"What is it?" I asked

"I want to know... Do you like Seta?" Kari asked and fiddled with her hair. I smiled.

"You like him don't you?" I asked and Kari nodded.

"Enshi isn't that nice... I've been dating Seta without him knowing...." Kari said

"Oh, you can have him... I guess" I said

"Are you sure?" Kari asked and I nodded.

"His all yours Kari" I said and Kari hugged me.

"Thank you Kaoru, thank you!!" Kari said and the door swung open. A girl with blue eyes and black silk hair walked in. She wore a mini skirt and a white shirt that said "Punk" on it. She had a frown on her face. Her lips were a dark glossy red. She had blush that made her checks look like a rose. Her eye shadow was a dark purple. She turned to Kari.

"Where were you this afternoon Kari?" the girl asked

"I went out" Kari said and turned to me.

"This is my best friend Sen" Kari said and Sen turned to look at me. The frown was still there. She didn't smile. She shook her head.

"Hello, you are?" Sen asked and still didn't smile.

"Kaoru, I'm Kari's half sister" I said

"Oh... You're the one that Kari's dad was talking about" Sen said and smiled at me. My mind wasn't on Sen, it was on Seta... What was I going to do? I had to go out with him... I couldn't just break it off... I would just have to say my mom wanted me home... Okay, that's what I would do...

"Yeah, dad was talking all about you!!" Kari said and I snapped out of my thoughts.

"He was?" I asked and Kari and Sen nodded.

"Oh, how nice of him" I said and we sat down.

"Girls, dinner will be ready soon" a woman with dark brown hair said as she walked in. The woman's eyes were blue just like Kari's. Her hair was in a ponytail and she had dark pink lips.

"Hi, I'm Kari's mom, but you can call me Mitsu" Mitsu said and smiled.

"Hi..." I said and a smile curled to my lips. Mitsu seemed nice. She was my step mom wasn't she?

"Now girls, it's almost six, so get ready soon" Mitsu said and walked out the door. The door swung close after her. Kari and Sen looked at me.

"So, I hear you're going out with Seta, is it true?" Sen asked and I nodded. I didn't know if Kari wanted me to tell her best friend about her dating Seta.

"Yes, I'm going out with him tonight" I said and Sen nodded. She sat down next to Kari on Kari's bed. Sen flashed a look at Kari. Kari bowed her head down. Her long dark hair fell in front of her face. Did Sen know about Kari and Seta? She looked up.

"Kari, are you okay?" I asked and Kari nodded. She smiled, but her smile disappeared when Sen flashed another one of her looks.

"Is there something Kari, Sen?" I asked and Sen nodded.

"Kari's been dating Seta without Enshi knowing..." Sen said and before she could say anything, Kari pressed her hand over Sen's month.

"What's wrong Kari, I know already" I said and Kari pressed her other hand to my mouth. What was Kari doing? Then there came a voice from outside.

"Hey Kari, its Enshi" Enshi said and came in.

"Hey Enshi" Kari said and took her hands away. She gave him a quick kiss and then turned to me and Sen. We smiled slightly.

"Ha ha... I'll be going now, nice meeting you Kaoru" Sen said and I nodded.

"Bye Sen" I said and Enshi turned to me.

"Hey, you're that girl in my science class!!" Enshi said and I nodded.

"Kaoru" Kari said and turned to me.

"Don't you have a date?" Kari asked

"Yea, I must be going it's almost seven" I said and I got up.

"Nice meeting you Kari" I said and I walked out of the room. Then I heard a scream, Kari's scream.
