'Rain…rain…and more rain' Kaoru sighed looking out her window. It was Wednesday. Today was officially no school. Since the school was preparing for final exams. Kaoru watched her window as the raindrops fell down. She exhaled against the window writing what seem to be her hidden secrets from the world. 'B.H & K.K forever' she smiled.
'I'm suppose to be studying and look what I'm doing. I'm day-dreaming about my supposedly boyfriend' she sighed to herself, opening her Chemistry book she began writing a bunch of equations in her scrap book. It took her a while to break out the reveries. She thought of endless possibilities with Battousai. For some strange reason she had more faith in Battousai's words than any of Kenshin's. Battousai seem more promising. He was a boy who liked to be alone and remote. Maybe that was why he didn't confine in relationship, a bit odd he would with her. 'Is there a strange reason for all this…?'
She did not know, casting her eyes to the window, she looked at the raindrops again. 'I wish my confusion could just fade'. 'Oh I forgot…I have to go to church'
Outside unknown to her was a man in a black coat looking at the building. The man inspected the building, gunshots were in the walls. The brown-green walls were dirty and mossy. The yard was full of broken criteria, from destroyed cars, car seats, broken swings, shattered windows and so on. The man walked up the broken cobblestone path. Eyes followed this unknown form. Walking to the door the man knocked on the door. Inside a black woman was getting her children ready for church.
"Kaoru-chan are you ready for church?" shouted the woman loudly.
"Um nearly nana" replied the girl loudly.
The woman heard a knock on her door, opening the door she saw this figure in black. She feared the worst. Standing in front her door defensively, she made sure the unknown figure couldn't see or harm the children for any apparent reason.
"Yes…who're you?" came her somewhat cold and daring voice.
He pulled the hood off, "my name is Battousai Himura" he paused. The woman had known about Battousai but she didn't know why he was here.
"Yes, I know who you are now. What do you want eh?" she asked forwardly.
"I came to check on my girlfriend…" he spoke lowly. His voice sending shivers over and under her skin.
"Girlfriend. Boy what in Gods are you talking about?" she asked confused as hell
"I'm ready nana" Kaoru jumped down the step. She looked at her nana and then her eyes fell on him. 'Oh he's here…wow…'
"She…my girlfriend, Ms. Kamiya" he corrected.
"You? And Kaoru-chan are going out?" the woman asked in shock…
Kaoru bit her lips, fumbling with her fingers she spoke, "yes nana…it was kinna soon…but Battousai-chan he's so…sweet and kind, I couldn't help myself"
"You do know his brother is the same man who dumped you?" asked her nana…
Kaoru bowed her head. She was still sensitive over Kenshin. The woman grew gentle, "Kaoru-chan…I'm" she started but she was interjected.
"Yeh I know that's his bro. But he's not the devil is he?" Kaoru looked up at the woman in a few tears.
"My baby…nana is sorry…"
"It's okay nana…it's not your fault. It's what you do when you have kids you love…" she smiled…
"I guess I'll leave you two to be…" she weakly smiled.
Kaoru nodded. She subserviently held her hands just staring at the floor with a blush on her face. Battousai took the opportunity to warm the moment. Walking to her, he stood a foot from her. Wiping her tears, he raised her chin. She looked at him.
"You look wonderful…" he started…
She blushed. 'Do I? Well of course I do'
"Going to church I see" he whispered.
"Yeh…want to come?" she asked softly…
"Nah…church is not my thing…"
"Aww…it'll be good" she said with a ring in her voice…
"Nah… it's all cool"
"Fine suit yourself…if I get attacked then well it's not my fault now is it?" she tried using cheap psychology on him.
He rolled his eyes giving a cute smirk. "Fine Ms. Pushy I'll go"
"Good" she curtly said. Placing her hand over his wet rain-coat, she began unbuttoning it. Pushing it off his shoulders, she bit her lips drawing closer to him.
"Do you know what I'm thinking?" she asked whilst placing her hands around his neck…
"No…"
"Well it's two things actually" she confessed whilst biting her lips seductively.
"O-h?"
"Yeah, one is…how in God's did you get into this building without being interrogated from the ghetto men?" she asked…
"Well I'm Ghetto too you know. Even if the ghetto was to find me and hold me down, they'd know I'm part of the ghetto too. I'm not a punk you know…so it's safe I guess" he explained…
"And second thing is…why don't you kiss me?" she bit her lips looking at him seductively…
"Do you want me too?" he asked understanding her eyes…
'Oh I love to do guys this…'
"Uh-huh" she murmured.
Battousai slanted his way to her, his face so close to hers. The thick wickedness in her eyes surprised him. She was a girl who wanted to be alone and then with company. He found her weirdly intricate, but delicious to understand or figure out. She slanted her head to his, the two coming closer and closer… Battousai watched as she closed her eyes and parted her lips in a pucker-up to touch his lips, but he diverted from her lips to smelled her neck and then up her cheeks he went until he came back meeting her eyes, "you want to see how strong I am…trust me, your ki does not lie. You think I'm Kenshin don't you? I'm not him so don't treat me like him" he backed up pissed she would do him this…
"You could read my ki?"
He shut his eyes, angry she would even bother to do such a thing. "You figure it out" he coldly replied.
"What's your problem man?" she asked…
"What's yours yo?"
"I just wanted to see if you really were connected to me…I guess now I know…" she retorted.
"Do you?" he asked back coldly.
"Look Battou-chan, I'm sorry…okay" she pouted…
He seem angry and cold but she pouted some more. He only ended up laughing.
"So now can I have my kissie?" she asked cocking her head to the side.
"Sure…" again they repeated the process. This time as their faces came closer and closer, gravity of love drew them in, and BAM, we had touch down. Lips touched lips. Kaoru opened her eyes somewhat half-defeated. He was so beautiful up close. Blushing in her kiss, she saw how his eyes only spoke protection.
She sank in her kiss relieved that she would not have to fear heart-ache.
"Eww…Kao kissie" came the little children's response. The couple backed up startled. Blushing furiously.
After some few minutes the rain stopped and the large group of people walked to church. Battousai found himself stolen from Kaoru by a bunch of little girls who simply adore him. He looked so cute when all of them wanted to hold his hand.
Kaoru giggled to herself, watching her boyfriend being sabotaged from the mini-girl group.
Yet they walked in peace, just enjoying the company they held.
The large church that was known mostly to the blacks in Japan, grew interested when they saw one of the ghetto boys ride up with a bunch of girls.
"Wassup dog?" one of Battousai's buds call.
"Nothing yo. Waddup?"
"Nothing like usual…"
The huge church was about 5 stories high (big church) with a huge cross to the top. The white paint on the church signified spirituality and cleanliness yet their were wooden structures of cherubs and Mary and archangels around the establishment. The group entered the establishment meeting a huge congregation. In front of them was a huge cross of Jesus Christ on the wall, whilst stain glass of Mary and Joseph adorn the windows. The church was somewhat decorated around the stage area, but the reservations were slim. Kenshin looked about for chairs, spotting a few up front he notified the others. The group made their way to the top seating themselves comfortably. Then organs (the church piano thingee) began playing, and from the back of the stage the priest made his way to the top.
"Good morning. Please let us all get ready to pray to Jesus Christ, the father, the son and the Holy Spirit" everyone stood. Clasping their hands Battousai found himself teaching the little girls what to do.
"Heavenly father we ask oh mighty savior for you to wash away our sins. For the things we have done and so urgently engrossed ourselves in, forgive us father. Father we are all sinners, baked in sin with nothing but unrighteousness to offer. We find ourselves father fighting the fears inside, when really we don't have any. Father today in the crowd of sinners, help me father to instill in these people that you are the light and way. That it was you father who died on the cross to save us from our sins. It was your precious blood that washed away our sins and gave us right to breathe with free will. Help this insane society father, mend us from our wounds and give us sight where we are blind. In Jesus name I pray, a-men." He prayed strongly.
"Amen" the congregation whispered.
"You may sit" the preacher said.
"How many of us believes in God, raise your hand?" asked the preacher…
Nearly everyone raised their hand. The priest smiled, his eyes fell over the little ones who rose both their hands. Such innocence, but then his eyes settled on Battousai.
"And you my son, in the first lane with the red hair, why don't you believe in God?"
"A God is a supreme entity. The Devil is considered a supreme entity, I do believe in Christ correct, but I do not believe in supreme entities as the devil. Your question asked us if we believed in God. The Devil is a God. It is for you to be specific sir" Battousai corrected.
"Ahh…smart boy. You're absolutely correct. True how could anyone know what I was taking about? What school do you go to?" the priest asked
"Kyoto Prestigious College for Boys" he answered,
"Ahh, I see. Is that you girlfriend to the side of you" knowing Kaoru's face far too well.
"Yes…she is" he held onto her hand.
Kaoru blushed. 'Aww…he's really too sweet'
"And do you love her?" he asked curiously
He turned to look at Kaoru, smirking he nodded. "Yup"
"Do you know why you love her?" he asked
"Because she's different…she feels something which most girls can't feel. I want to save her…because I know I can and no one can't" he spoke
"Hmm…interesting reply"
For an hour church went along as interactive as it was. It was rather enjoyable. Battousai however came out of church a few minutes before. Kaoru followed him after some two minutes. He was sitting against the wall looking at the streets. Kaoru caught the look in his eyes…
'And do we all fight battles we wish we could never fight?'
"Battousai" she called…
He turned to her, a face of classic coldness meeting her. He looked so royal as his amber eyes were as bright as the prominence from the sun, and his hair was already collecting petals from the Sakura trees. She made her way to him, it was so confusing to explain why she felt sorrow for him, but she did and that's why she ran into his arms. He held unto her.
"Are you hurting?" she pulled back looking into his eyes…
"Not today…" his nose touched hers…
"You're a bad liar"
"I know…"
"Heehehhe" she hugged him…
'Couldn't I always be this safe? Happiness is truly bliss, but this nirvana doesn't last forever…'
Battousai closed his eyes, searching for truth. Truth was there but it was buried deeply.
'Wherever it is…it's there…'
That afternoon…
Battousai and Kaoru went looking around for Kaoru's new little house. With all the work she had been doing she was finally able to buy herself a small house. Very small. Kaoru watched the picture of the house and then the real house. It was very small but it would do. Kaoru took out her keys from her pocket. Opening the door she was revealed to a wooden finishes. The pale lemon walls were very enticing. Kaoru ran through the house looking for her bedroom. Screaming out Battousai came to her aid.
"What?"
"Look at this room, it's so cute"
'That's what she called me for?' Goodie
She jumped on the bed.
She twirled around in circles, "it's comfory…and it's made for…" she bit her lips, "made for two"
"Oh really?" he saw the naughtiness in her eyes…
"Yup…you can test my hypothesis if you want" she winked at him.
'Okay this girl is a devil'
He walked over to bed, sitting down on the bed, he nodded. "Yeh two people can sleep on this bed" he said modestly.
Kaoru pulled him back so he was lying on the bed with her.
"Kaoru" he panicked seeing a lot of sparks in her eyes…
"Yes" she rolled over on him.
"W-What are you doing?" he asked worriedly…
"Nothing" she smiled sweetly at him.
She nestled her head in his neck just looking around her room. He sighed in relief. Smoothening her hair, she closed her eyes enjoying the feel of his hand down her hair. Kenshin traced his hand to the small of her back, catching the time on his watch he nearly freaked out. (this was not sexual or explicit)
"Kao-baby…" he endeared…
"Hmm koishii?" she answered, her eyes still shut…
"I have to be going…I'll pass by tonight…" he spoke shallowly…
"Promise…?" she asked
"Yes maim" he promised
"Okay then" she slowly came off the man sitting to the side of him. Battousai sat up looking into her eyes, kissing her on the lips he encouraged her to and harder. She learned but before she could try her stunts he pulled apart from her.
"Tonight…" he bade…
"Bye…" she waved.
Battousai walked out her home with his hands in his pocket. 'Why can't I ever live a normal life? But say what I was raised by the streets.' It was funny where he hang and made his class. He was an educated fool with money and proficiency on his mind. Kenshin placed on his earrings on his ear. Walking a few blocks again, he meet his crew in the park. A bunch of smoking men circled together under a tree waiting for him he guessed. Battousai walked to the group knowing what was going on.
'And everyone wants to trip me…'
He stood a distance from the men…
"You gotta lot of guts showing your face dog" the supposedly leader swore at Battousai.
Battousai turned his face… 'I'm not in the mood for this crap'
"Yo yo yo, miboy are you getting disrespectful on me? Don't forget who has your butt out of jail murderer. You gotta do what I say or your butt is in jail cell"
"Yeah I remember…but what you tripping on me for yo?" Battousai asked indignantly...
"Don't give me that f-ing attitude kid. I don't want to dangle with you so don't be playing with me. What's this shit nonsense about you attacking Yukishiro?" the man took a pull from his cigar
"Jerk was getting on my nerves so I choked him…" Battousai answered.
"And you proud of that? My brother Enishi is the one who gives me my sales, gives me my money. If you kill my best affiliate trust me I will kill you…"
Battousai's eyes shone donating only fire of hate.
"Don't gimme that stare yo…" he walked to Battousai.
Battousai just stared at him.
"Listen Battousai as much as you don't like me, trust me I don't like you…so don't play with this brother or your neck is my prize…"
Battousai didn't respond.
The man sent his hands across the boy's face, "you got that my fo shizzle dizzle?"
He still didn't respond.
Cuffing him three-four times, Battousai still didn't fall or shake his head.
Battousai was in blood.
Turning his back on his leader and the group, he felt pissed.
"WANNABE-GHETTO BOY" the leader shouted.
"Burn you" Battousai whispered.
'So much we hurt and so much time is needed to heal such wounds. So little happiness from such pain…'
Kenshin walked down the streets of the late night. Walking to a chair, he sat plump on it. Sighing to himself he just looked at the stars. Bored and pissed together. 'I should probably be going now. Kaoru's probably expecting me…'
Kenshin never went to Kaoru that night. He was pissed and angry. Finding himself in bar, he ordered a drink over the counter.
"One martini, dry please" Battousai placed his head against the counter somewhat tired.
Living in the hood but being beaten from it was sick. Battousai had a serious murder-file. He was currently trying to clean off his name. He wanted to finish university, buy himself a house in Tokyo and get married. He really never thought of the girl he'd get married to. He never had a liking for girls who were too haughty looking, he just wanted girls who had a great personality and were truthful to him. He didn't want all the stars, because he believed those people themselves were either rare, dead or old. When he applied himself as Kaoru's boyfriend, he had manage to bisect himself from the cold and antisocial Battousai. He actually was forward because he had known her and because of another reason. A reason he still hadn't found.
"Here you are laddie, enjoy" the man handed Battousai the martini. Across from him were several young girls erotically dancing on a stage with a pole down the center. He certainly didn't want a dirty girl…and that's all he should keep in mind too.
Drinking the beverage in one shot, a woman joined him to the side.
"Night drinker?" she asked
He nodded.
"Name's Tomoe…" she smiled cutely…
"Battousai…"
"Lonely tonight?" she bit her lips
It was the last thing he wanted to hear. Handing the bartender his change and a tip he left the bar leaving the Tomoe woman to her own questions. Kenshin walked down the streets, his hand in his pocket…
'A night as lone as the character I am…'
The night was young, lone and masqueraded in darkness. Battousai sighed.
Walking home, he looked at the stars, wishing that not all of them would fade on him as the ones he loved did.
Kaoru walked to her school pissed her "supposedly" boyfriend had not come to see her yesterday. 'I'll deal with his ass trust me'
Brushing her shoulder past some rogues she made her way up the stairs for her first class, "Physics"
She hated Physics pretty-much but she had to study it nevertheless.
It was her worst subject really, it was a wonder how she manage to get half mark during end of term exams.
Kaoru entered her class walking pass all the lanes of students. As usual this missy was chewing in Physics class.
"Ms. Kamiya why do I always have to tell you no chewing in my class" the teacher asked, his eyes looking at her somewhat confused.
"I dunno, maybe it's because you like to talk?!" she asked him…
"Ms. Kamiya don't get smart with me"
"What the heck am I doing?" she rapped
"Missy watch that language…"
"What language?" she shouted back
"That's it Miss Kamiya, I am sick and fedup of your behavior literally. You must be the worst student I have taught…if you have nothing to say then don't say anything at all" he queried with her…
'Son of punk'
She really got pissed when teachers pushed her around.
She kept quiet throughout his period mainly because she didn't understand anything he thought.
When the bell rung she exited the room heading in for her second class. 'English---how wowie!'
It wasn't Kaoru's best subject but she did well in it nevertheless. Sitting down in the front seat, because that's where the teacher wanted her, she sighed. "Good morning students…"
"Good morning Sensei"
"This morning I would like someone to translate our country's National Anthem Kimigayo in English. Whose wants to go first?" the teacher asked. Kaoru bit her pencil waiting for somebody to go first.
Misao raised her hand, 'oh goodie does she always have to be so goddamn perfect, well I guess so'
"Go ahead Ms. Machimache"
"Um okay..um…ten thousand years of happy reign be thine, rule on, my god, till what rocks are now, bye time united to might pebbles shall reap, whose um something, sides the moss doth line??"
"Well that was half wrong and half correct…but that was a good try, whose next, ah Ms. Takani"
"Gomen ne sensei, but I have soar-throat." She explained
"Very well. Ms. Kamiya"
"Ms. Kamiya" Kaoru looked up…
"Yes?"
"Translate it please…"
"But I'm not good at English"
"Just try please"
"Whatever… ten thousand years of happy reign be thine, rule on, my lord, till what are pebbles now, by ages united to mighty rocks shall grow, whose venerable sides the moss doth line." She finished
"Excellent Ms. Kamiya. You know your English I see…"
Kaoru just looked at the floor.
The period ended after a few minutes. In the auditorium the students were told to assemble. Kaoru walked to seat in the back row not sure what was happening. Students hurriedly took seats just awaiting this new surprise. Kaoru was by herself until a few boys began looking for seats, seeing the very pretty sapphire eye girl they made way to her. Sitting next to her was Kenshin. Kaoru frowned.
"Hey baby" he grinned
"Go to hell will you?"
