Chapter 7: Hearts Will Be Broken
"Will she be okay, doc?"
"Aren't you........Kenshin Himura?"
"Eh? Yes. Is that some kind of problem?" So every child does have a heart....
"No not at all..." Kenshin held onto Kaoru's hand. I can't feel a pulse. Kaoru's guna die........ (a/n Kenshin's thought) The nurse was muttering under her breath. "She might not make it....how can someone just faint and lose a pulse....it doesn't make sense..."
"Eh.....will everything be okay?"
"Yes....just leave her in my care...."
"But....I can't leave her...."
"You have responsibilities! You need to go to classes!" Kenshin flinched from the nurse's reaction...... "I'm sorry, but......I'm just not sure if she'll make it." He winced.
"Now I just can't leave...I just can't...." Am I guna cry? I CAN'T IDIOT! WHAT IF KAORU WAKES UP? THEN SHE'LL SEE ME! I have to be strong for Kaoru...
A hand was on his shoulder. It was Sano.
"We have to go, Kenshin....Tomoe...is "calling"..." They left the office.
"Hello? Mrs. Kamiya? Is Kaoru home?" Kenshin held the phone to his ear....making sure what he heard was correct...
"I'm sorry Kenshin.......she isn't home."
"It can't be...." He was murmuring.
"What'd you say?"
"Oh it's nothing Mrs. Kamiya, don't worry about a thing."
"Well that means I have to worry, doesn't it?"
"EH?"
"I'm just kidding with you, would you like her to call you back?"
"No...no thanks." She's not home...
Kenshin dialed Sano's number.
"Sano. Kenshin. Kaoru hasn't come home."
"How is this my problem? YOU like her. Do I havta remind you?"
".............you coming or what?"
"Can I go back to sleep?"
"No. You're coming."
"What the fuck was the point of asking my opinion?" Sano groaned. "I hate you."
"So you coming?"
"Aight. I'll meet you there."
"K." Then they hung up. Doesn't Kenshin say good-bye anymore?
Kaoru.......something isn't right about this..let's rethink....
Kaoru had that outburst at lunch where she screamed "BAKA!"
She went outside for awhile...not long enough to be poisoned though.....
When I found her she was crying....did she know something?
Wait, what did Sano say before? "So you truly have forgotten?"
Does that mean......? NAH! She loves me too much....
Right?
Trying to remember......there was Tomoe.....and.....
Sano snapped.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?"
"You zoned out on me. Didn't you hear me say "Kenshin. Kenshin. Fine I guess I'll ask Kaoru out."
"YOU'LL WHAT?!"
"I was trying to get your attention, but you know....she is kinda..."
"Don't even think it." They walked to the nurse's office. Sano knocked once..twice..three times..no answer.
Kenshin busted the door open. It was deserted. Not a soul in sight.
"That was weird."
"What, Sano?"
"Where could they have gone? It was weird, when I came to get you...Tomoe wasn't there...remember?"
"And the nurse.....wanted us.....out..."
"A coincidence?"
"I don't think so." And they were gone. Out of the school. Out of reach, going to Tomoe's house. (a/n SORRY YOU FAN OF TOMOE'S! apparently she is evil in this story. hehe plz don't hunt me down and kill me....)
Ding dong.
Kenshin waited his arms crossed. The clock was ticking. He was surprised when Kaoru answered the door.
"Eh? Kaoru? I didn't expect-"
"To see me here. Yea I know Kenshin.."
"Could....you possibly wait for me outside with Sano?" I've found her....now I can....finally finish...what I have planned to do...
"Um...ok...the nurse is in there. She had some things to do with Tomoe." Kaoru went to stand by Sano, who was leaning on a wall.
"What is it Kenny?"
"I'm sorry Tomoe..."
"What?! YOU"RE GUNA BREAK UP WITH ME?! CAUSE, CAUSE OF HER!?" Tomoe pointed in Kaoru's direction, disgusted. The window was open.
"Yes, Tomoe. You know.....that we don't belong together."
"Then why are we together Kenshin?! WHY IS IT THAT WE'RE TOGETHER WITHOUT MEANING?"
"Tomoe..don't lose your head. You're being a dolt. Most girls would cry, you, you're revolting." Tomoe stood up. She opened the door. She walked up to Kaoru and scratchd her across the cheek.
"I HATE YOU KAORU KAMIYA! YOU'RE A LIFE RUINER." Kenshin had been there. He was there when Tomoe did that. He was there. Tomoe walked back inside slamming the door behind her. "Please....Don't ever come back. You're not welcome. Please....stay away."
"Kaoru..are you okay?" Kenshin reached up to her cheek.
"It's nothing...really it's nothing." (a/n sound familiar? yea it's from that waterfall flashback...)
She was smiling...tears also streaming down her face...but she was smiling.
Flashback
"Stop following me, Kaoru." He was writing notes again....writing...passing...them...to...Tomoe...
"Eh...Kenshin...I'm supose to follow you home...cause I don't know the way..."
"Maybe that's what you want me to think."
"Nooo......I can't believe you feel that way."
"Well I DO so just handle it."
"Okay......" He smacked her.
"Stop being stupid Kaoru! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Another hit...once...twice...three times...and then the last one...from Tomoe.
"What a foolish girl! Let's go Kenny."
"Hold up, Tomoe. I havta take my things." He packed up and left....so I guess he didn't see her reach up to her cheek.
Wallking home by myself...what a blast...I'm not sure where to go...I think I recognize that stop sign....let's go that way..
"Have you seen Kaoru, Kenshin?"
"Of course not mom."
"But she was suppose to be following you home..."
".........she.......wanted to go by herself."
"Oh really? Then why did I find this bracelet of hers...on the floor...near the corner of Yasuke and Higurashi? THAT'S TOO FAR AWAY FROM HOME!" (a/n yea well I really dunno japan so bare with me! just assume Yasuke and Higurashi are street names..) That's the bracelet......our bracelet....the one I gave her when we were friends...the one that I said I would wear on my neck to show her I loved her......where.....where.....was it now?
I'm lost....thanks to Kenshin Himura...and Tomoe....
What a fool I am. I believed he loved me. Was I out of my mind then?
I was crazy......to believe that....now I'm lost. Somewhere....far away from home......
And her face began to have streaks...streaks of tears...
I pity him.....see that Himura? I can still smile through this pain....I can still smile and cry at the same time..
End of Flashback
Kaoru shoved Kenshin away.
"LEAVE ME ALONE HIMURA!"
She must have remembered something else....and it probably wasn't good. (a/n Sano's thought! awwww I made him smart hehe)
how will this work out? hmm...........umm......getting a little stuck but I WILL UPDATE! REVIEWS!!!!!!! lol
