Innocence

Chapter Three

Soujiro's P.O.V.

Shishio-san is going to be really disappointed. But I was wrong. When I told him I didn't kill her, he just laughed it off saying that he was expecting something along those lines. I was relieved! Hmm...Wait a sec!!! He didn't expect me to kill her?! This could get very interesting...

Just then, another idea popped into my head. I wanted to get to know Kamiya. I'll just leave her a note saying...

Kaoru's P.O.V.

I had another meeting with Himura-san. Though I have to admit, this one was a bit more interesting than the last. I wonder if that mysterious man, or should I say boy, from last night will come again... Now he was interesting, and perverted, but I want to see him again.

Then I found a note on my bed. At first I figured it was probably a prank from my little brother, Yahiko, but it wasn't in his crude handwriting. It said:

'Dear Kamiya-san,

Meet me at the dunes east of the lake at midnight. I will be waiting for you there. Please come, I promise no harm will come to you.

Love,

Your blue-eyed assassin.'

I gasped out loud. What was he trying to pull? Should I go or not? I lied down on my bed and closed me eyes, only to see his blue eyes staring at me. He might be there to kill me. But if I don't go, I'll never know what he wants... Hmm. At last, curiosity got the better of me. I was going to go.

Later that night...

Almost time for bed. I slipped into my sister's room and said goodnight to her, because it might be my last. Then I went to my brother's room and kissed him goodnight as well.

"Goodnight Yahiko-chan."

I started to walk to the door only to find his hand tugging on my sleeve.

"Kaoru, something is wrong. Why are you willingly saying goodnight to me?"

"It's nothing. I just haven't said goodnight to you in long time."

"Okay... Goodnight Kaoru."

I slid out of his room. I knew he was getting suspicious. I had to be more alert now.

Laying on my bed I closed my eyes pretending to be asleep. Just as I had suspected, Yahiko slid open my door and poke his head into my room. Seeing that I was "sleeping" he closed the door and left. I waited until his footsteps vanished before I got up and changed into a loose tunic. With that, I slipped out of the window. Hoping I'll be alive to see tomorrow.

A/N: Sorry to end it right there. I will try to update it more. But I'm starting school soon! I'm going to 7th grade... So until next time...
