Chapter 1: Prologue
Night on the Beach
There was a little girl who's was lying beside a little boy on a cloth lying in the middle of the sand. They had their heads stick together (a/n: do you get it??).
"Look at the stars aren't they pretty?", asked the little girl who was pointing upwards.
"Yah, there pretty.", said the little boy who was looking at the same direction the little girl was pointing at. Then he sat up and tapped the little girls shoulder. "I wanted you to have this.", handing a box to the little girl.
Slowly the little girl opened it and was astonished on what she saw. A smile was know plastered on the little girl's face. "Wow its so pretty! Thank you for giving it to me."
"Your welcome I'm glad you like it."
The little girl hold her present a necklace which had a name printed on the pendant. The name was printed with a dark blue color. The name KAORU was printed on the heart shape pendant which shined so beautifully because of the stars and the moon. It glittered and shined and it even made her eyes shine as the light reflected. By looking at the girl's eyes you could see pure happiness.
"Can you please do the honor of putting it on my neck?", as the little girl asked the boy who gave her the necklace.
"It will be my honor miss.", as the boy replied calmly.
The little girl turned so the boy could put it on easily. The boy gently put the necklace on girl's little neck.
"I'm really glad you like it."
"How can't I like it? It was given by my bestfriend!", the little girl said as she giggled after and the boy soon followed to giggled.
"Anyway I have a present for you too.", while pulling out a box from her pocket. "Here it is, hope you like it.", then she turned and bowed to hide her blushing cheeks.
The boy slowly opened the box. Inside the box was a silver ring with initials inside it. The intials were KH . A smile was formed on the boy lips. He showed extreme happiness when he saw his present. "I..I...I... this is to much.", as the boy looked at girl and smile confusingly. "It's the least thing I could do for you and besides were both even coz you gave me a necklace and in replace I gave you a ring.", Kaoru said as she held her best friend's hand.
"Arigato Kaoru-chan.", the boy said.
"Arigato Kenshin.", was all Kaoru could reply with.
"Kaoru..... KAORU....KAORU!" , a girl shouted.
"I'm here!" "I guess I'll be going now mom's looking for me." "See ya tomorrow." , Kaoru said while she ran to the girl who was shouting out her name. She embraced the girl and held on to her hand on the way back.
The boy watched as Kaoru's image faded in to darkness and managed to whisper "See you tomorrow Kaoru-chan."
The next day
At Kaoru's garden
"Kaoru I have to tell you something.", while the boy was staring at Kaoru while she picked flowers.
"What is it Kenshin?", curiosity overcame her and she picked a few more flowers and told Kenshin to sit down.
"Well, umm..."
"..."
"umm..."
"..."
"We are going to move to America Kaoru." Kenshin told when he saw that Kaoru was really interested. 'oh men I think I shocked her! What am I going to do?' he taught in panicked.
"WHAT?", Kaoru was very surprised that caused her to shout. Her eyes became kind of teary because her neighbor, her brother, and her her best friend was going to move away?
Far from her? Far from Japan. "But why Kenshin why do you have to leave?", while the tears started running down her ivory cheeks.
"I'm sorry Kao but I don't really know why I think because dad got a promotion and we needed to move to America. I hate this idea as much you do. I don't want to be separated from my bestfriend you know." , as Kenshin went beside Kaoru to comfort her.
Kaoru managed to say something when Kenshin comforted her, "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow.'
"But what about the....", Kaoru never continued she just cried knowing her friend was going to move away for how long and they were leaving so soon.
"Kaoru, I'll promise you one thing. I'll keep your memories with me and I promise to keep in touch. And remember I'll always keep the ring you gave me.", Kenshin assured it to her as he raised his pinky to make a patch.
"I'll promise to kenshin to keep your memories and the necklace you gave to me and I'll always wear it." She raised her pinky and made a patch with Kenshin.
"Sir Kenshin, someone is waiting for you outside.", as the maid interrupted.
"Thank you." Kenshin replied back. "Kaoru I better go I need to pack my things."
"Ok Kenshin, take care," Kaoru embraced Kenshin before he left and watched his back when he was leaving. 'its so soon.... Why does it have to be this way? Why my bestfriend? Take care Kenshin...' And that was the last time she saw her bestfriend.
The next day Kaoru didn't notice that Kenshin already left.
Months passed and Kaoru and Kenshin had still remained in contact but as years pass the letters are starting to decrease. When Kaoru reached her teenage years there were no more letters and she started forgetting some memories of Kenshin but she still wore the necklace he gave her always.
As for Kenshin. He stopped mailing letters because he became to busy with school life since he was a popular kid in America and all. Kenshin still manage to remember Kaoru but it seems to be fading each day in spite of that he still had the ring and made it to a necklace pendant because it couldn't find his hand anymore and it was more fashionable.
