: THOUGHTS
"SPEECH"
Couple Crisis
Chapter 2
It was pouring rain outside Kaoru's window, causing her to stay indoor all day. She had planned to go out with Misao and Megumi to a park somewhere near her place, but due to the rain the plan had bee halted. Clicking through what seemed like every channel on her television, she threw the remote control onto the couch frustrated. Great! Just great! Here I am stuck inside with absolutely nothing to do. And all they've got on the television is hopeless. A stupid gameshow, a soap opera, an idiotic kid program. Gosh!!She was about to go into the kitchen to make herself some tea when a knock was heard at her apartment door. Stomping slightly to the door she peered into the peephole only to find that it was a familiar face Smiling lightly she opened the door and come face to face with a brown haired boy. "Oh it's on in." She said gesturing the boy into her room. "Nah it's okay, Sano said you must be bored being inside all day so he asks me to come ask you if you wanted to come to our place. And I think he'd want to challenge you to afew round of card games. So what d'you say busu?? I don't have all day you know." He said looking as if talking to Kaoru is the most boring thing on earth. "Hmm, sure Yahiko Give me afew seconds and I'll be right with you." She replied dashing back into her room.
Mann that girl's one weird person. She can be sulking one moment and too cheerful the other. And she can be very scary sometimes. Shaking his head he waited patiently at the door. Yahiko would have waited for her in the living room or something but the last time he was in there....o well let's just say expect to find the unexpected in Kaoru's apartment. Everytime he had entered her domain he would always end up being thrown out by Kaoru one reason or another.
Kaoru moved around gathering her things as fast as she could. She ran into her bedroom and pull her hair up into her usual pony tail. Dabs some powder onto her face That'll do, Not that I care how Sano and Yahiko would see me but it's always good to look good.
"Hey you finish yet I have other stuff to do! Get going!" Hearing Yahiko's rapture Kaoru put her pressed powder away quickly. Can't he even wait for afew minutes?!! Gliding back into her kitchen she grabbed a basket on the counter and strode back to Yahiko.
"Okay I'm ready now. "She said. Yahiko was about to turn around and start walking when the basket in Kaoru's hand caught his sight. Pointing to the basket he asked her what was inside it. He prayed that it was not what he was thinking. Sweat drops as he waited for her reply. Kaoru shrugs. "Oh, it's afew sandwiches I made. I planned a picnic today if it wasn't for the rain."
She walked off leaving the green faced Yahiko behind. For someone who had tasted Kaoru's cooking the boy knew he must find an excuse and a good one too in order to prevent himself from eating any of those horrid sandwiches. After afew moments he slouched off after her, muttering something about karma.
Sunday came and went in a blink of an eye. Kaoru trotted off down the usual path to school alone.Eventhough Sano and her lived in the same apartment building,she got up much earlier than he does. Her mind was not really with her this morning as if a fog was blocking her senses. She hadn't had much sleep the previous night. Spending most of the weekend at Sano's she had completely forgotten about all the homework she'd got. By the time she had finally completed all of it, the clock on her table told her it was a good twenty minutes past three A.M.
Continuing down the small road, Kaoru can barely keep her eyes to focus at the surrounding. It was one of those breezy day and it make her wish she's back in the bedroom dreaming something in her bed. For a moment she strongly consider ditching school, go straight home and jumped back into her warm cozy bed. Lost in her little idea, Kaoru didn't realize a car was coming straight at her at the speed of atleast a hundred or so miles per hours, until the screech of it's tires were heard all through the alleyway breaking the silence.
She tried to move her legs but they seemed to be made out of steel. Her blue eyes watched in horror as the car swerved narrowly, missing her by a metre and slammed into the nearby railing at full blast. If she was half awake the other minute she was now more than fully awake.
Half of the car's front cover was scrunched up from the impact and the radiator below was emitting tiny streams of smoke. Apart from that the car looks pretty fine. Whoever the driver was he or she must have a very quick sense. And she was grateful for that.Closing her eyes Kaoru could not imagine what it would be like if the driver haven't turn the car away in time. Road flatten Kaoru would be some site for passersby that's for sure.
Kaoru walked slowly towards the car. She felt it was partly or maybe entirely her fault that the car crashed. Atleast she needed to apologize to the driver for causing such damage. Hope I wouldn't have to pay for the repairing...! Dunno where I've get the money from. Oh Please Kami help me.
Kenshin had never driven so fast in his life. He was getting late for a press conference. Having about ten minutes to get to the place he had taken almost all the shortcuts he had known. Putting his foot down on the accelerator of his sleek black sport car, he pulled his car into yet another shortcut that will get him to the other side of the city without getting stuck in the traffic. Knowing that it was almost always rid of other cars he put his foot down not bothering to reduce the speed. Grabbing his palm pilot from the passenger seat taking his eyes from the road he start rereading the location of the conference just to make sure he's going in the right direction. It seemed like a moment had passed when he looked up he was shocked to see a figure right infront of his car only afew metres away. Instinct told him to swerved the car away in order to avoid hitting whatever it was. The next thing Kenshin knew, his car had narrowly missed that figure and ran straight into one of the side railings.
He wasn't hurt but was more on the awestruck side. It took him several minutes to take in what was happening. He could see his beloved car's front is partly scrunched up and there was steam coming up from the front cover. Looking at the rear mirror to see what he had avoided. Half expecting to see a large dog. (a/n: I know it sounds pathetic but it's all I could come up with !.) He was surprised to see a teenage girl standing right in the middle of the road. What the?? That girl sure want to get herself kill!! Looking at his watch he found that there was no way on this earth that he would be able to make it to the conference now. Groaning he pulled out his cell phone and immediately dial his manager's number.
"Hello! Seta speaking...." spoke the voice from the other side. "Sojirou? Look I've got a little accident don't think I can make it in time can you um..dammit.. tell the press.. er tell them whatever you like. or you can just tell them I busted my car on the way. And there's no way I could get there anytime soon. If any of them have a problem with that tell them to get lost." He said anger rising. He hated to have problems with the press but there's nothing he can do is there? I'll just tell them you have a car accident and arrange to meet them again in afew days then." Soujirou said patiently. "Yea you do that. Bye!" With that Kenshin threw his phone onto the passenger seat. Opening the door he step out of the car.
He's going to give this girl a piece of his mind. First for clumsily walking right in the middle of the road
nearing killing herself and possibly him. Secondly for damaging his car (in a way). Thirdly for ruining his important press conference.
Kenshin strode out of his car towards the girl. But instead of giving her a piece of his mind as intended he found himself stop dead in his track staring straight at a girl with the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. It was bluer than blue drowning him into its endless depths. Her hair was glossy black pulled up into a ponytail. Woh...looks like I find somthing here. Who is this girl! Reminding himself that looks and girls could be decieving he immediately put on a serious face.
Kaoru stared blankly at the man that just came out of the car. He looked very familiar to her only that she couldn't place where she had seen him before. There's only one word to describe this guy 'Totally Hott'. Silky red hair pulled up into a high ponytail. Wonderfully built body and those black jeans and dark blue shirt make him look like he just stepped out from one of the magazine's cover. Oooh..this guy's dead sexy mann. Wonder where he got his hair dyed? Or is it natural?? And that violet contacts....Oh!so Awesomeee!
"Miss! Do you realize what you might have done to both your life and mine??" Kenshin asked shrilly,making Kaoru blanched out abit. Not waiting for her reply he waved his hands impatiently toward his car continuing, "Walking right in the middle of the road are you in your right mind? What would happen if I didn't see you in time..what if I crashed into you...what if I break my own neck when my car hit that railing?? Now who's going to be responsible for the repairing cause it's sure gonna be expensive! And because of your clumsiness I miss one of my important meeting!!" Eyeing her expression, he was pretty sure she was afraid of him now. Her face was so pale it almost make him concern if she's alright or not. But afew moments later his thoughts were put to rest when Kaoru's face turned bright red. She looked up at him her eyes flashing dangerously. "Excuse me! But it's not entirely my fault. I'm sorry for being abit blank-out today and walking in the middle of the road. But if you weren't driving like a mad driver you would probably have seen me from a far distance and could have easily avoided collision without damaging your stupid car ! This guy might be goodlooking but his personality's horrible. "Who do think you are to be lecturing me mister?! You're not my father that's for sure..Hope I'll never see you ever again. Good day!!" Kaoru was shaking from anger how dare he talk to her as if she was a stupid child. He didn't even know her. Clutching her books tighter she stomped off not bothering to look back at the now stunned redhead.
Kenshin was stunned no use denying. He didn't expect the girl to blown up at him like that. Actually he expected her to say loads of 'sorries' and all. Now that's no ordinary girl. He had always admire girls with courage and confident. Her features had caught his attention from the first time he set eyes on her. Now he's really interested in this clumsy, hot tempered blue eyes angel. Angel?? Devil might be a better term for her, with tempers like that. Sighing he was about to return to his car to call some mechanics when a tiny red purse caught his eyes. Carefully he picked it up and flip it open to see who it belongs to. A wide grin graced his face when he saw a picture of that blue eyed girl inside of it. There was also her school ID card in there as well. Looking at it briefly he smiled feeling content. Flipping it shut he slip in into his side pocket muttering lightly "Looks like we'll be meeting again real soon Miss Kamiya Kaoru." Taking out his cell phone he proceeded to call in the mechanics.
