So Here Goes
Couple Crisis
Chapter 3...
When Kaoru finally made it to school it was well into her first period ...which is Maths. Studying alot of numbers right after what just happened would only make her head spin more not that it haven't get enough headache as it is. Deciding it would be more help to her raging nerves she went to the library instead. The librarian never asks that much questions. Strolling down one of the deserted aisle she found an empty table,slowly Kaoru settle herself on one of the chairs. Thinking back at the incident that morning it still creeps her out. First she had nearly been mowed down by a sexy mad driver who turns out to be 'Mister Lecture. ' Resting her head on the table, she close her eyes and drift off to sleep. Little that she knew that that certain
Red head would follow her into her very dream.
Soujirou had spent the last ten minutes answering questions after questions of all the people in the conference room. Although he had announced pretty cleary that the Kenshin had a car accident and wouldn't be able to be there today and that he would contact them as soon as possible regarding the new conference schedule. When every single person approached him after he had gotten down from the stage he started to doubt that what he had spoken earlier might have been in a alien language since nobody seemed to understand it. Wiping the sweat from his forehead he walked into the parking lot towards his car. He had to admit he was worried about Kenshin. Four years of being the red head's manager had made them pretty close. + Hope he's okay...he sounded fine...but that car of his.......+ Sighing he drove off into the morning traffic.
Kenshin stepped out of a cab his sunglasses still perched on the bridge of his nose. He made quick long strides into an luxurious apartment building. Nodding to afew of the security guards he made his way to the one of the elaborate elevators. He took off his dark glasses and punch on the floor number. Afew seconds later he glided out of the elevators. Taking out a set of keys from his side pocket he opened the door to his penthouse. Kenshin close the door silently and made his way to his favorite couch. Throwing the keys aside he sank down wearily. Taking out the bills for the repairing of his car, he glared at it for awhile before scrunching it up and throw it into the nearby trash basket. It had been the second time that he had it repaired so deciding he'd like something new for a change as well he had sold the car off to the mechanic at an unbelievably low price. Leaning back he took out the tiny red purse. Flipping it open he started to examine the pictures inside. Knowing that what he was doing is downright rude, he shrugs that feeling aside and continue to look through it. The name of the school on her ID card happened to be a private school on the other side of the city, but having afew friends who used to study there he knew exactly how to get there although he wasn't very familiar with the roads in that part of the city. Letting his minds wander towards the raven-haired girl, Kenshin found himself smiling at the memory of that morning. It was not very often that he got yelled at these days it was usually the other way around. + Now how will I return this thing to her. She might kill me...Hmm she make it quite clear that she doesn't want to see me ever again.+ Looking at the little red thing he finally laugh lightly. "But it'll be challenging...and I don't have any reason to keep her things do I?" he muttered to himself.
~Knock! Knock! Knock!~
Kenshin heard someone knocked at his door,wanted to be left alone he ignored the knocks knowing that whoever it is would probably go away soon thinking he wasn't home. The knocking stopped making him relaxed abit. When the door swing open he had to groan at the sight of his manager. Soujrou stepped onto the foyer a smile paste onto his face as usual. "I knew you're home.....that trick doesn't work with me." The young manager said disappearing into the kitchen. Kenshin can't help but groan regretting that he had given Soujirou the spare key to his apartment. "So you looked fine...how's the car? The company would not be responsible for the repairing cost though." He grinned sarcastically walking out from the kitchen a can of drink in his hand. Sitting down next to Kenshin he waited for the other man to respond. "What else is new. You've been telling me that every time I had a crash." Kenshin chided. Heaving a breath he continued. "Don't worry I sold that car off already. Don't like to drive a car that crashed more that once." Soujirou looked at his boss and friend can't believe what he just heard. " Oh..great Kenshin. Finally you've taken my idea into consideration." "What idea??" he asked nonchalantly. "The one that I told you it would be better if you hire a driver. It would be safer than you driving anyways. Not that I say you're a bad or careless driver but it's just not very safe to drive when you're in a hurry. And my job is not just to take care of your work schedule but to ensure your safety as well. So I strongly say you need a driver." Ignoring Kenshin's expression he spoke on." You know what, if you don't want a professional driver...I'm more that willing to drive for you. So what do you think??"
Kenshin merely rolled his eyes. " As always Souji-I refuse to have a driver or for you to drive me as well. It's not convenient.. I mean, what if I want to go out at midnight would you or any driver in their right mind be up and willing to drive me? Don't think so...Thanks for your concern anyways though." Soujirou seemed disappointed for a moment." So what have you hitted this time? Don't tell me it's another sidewalk's flower tray." "Nah..I almost hitted this girl but turned away in time and crashed into this railing instead." He said simply as if it was nothing of importance. "I see...missed a girl and into a railing." He repeated nodding his head slightly. Until it sank into him." WHAT??! You Almost Hitted a Girl????? He asked his eyes almost popping out of his head. " You know how serious that is?? What if she decided to sue us? This is bad..Really Baddd! Where's your mind on that make you unable to see her???" he now rant walking after Kenshin who had decided to go into the kitchen.
Grabbing a drink he answered his fuming manager calmly " Look I didn't hit her yet plus I don't think she even knew me. So don't fuss alright." Patting his friend's shoulder Kenshin walked back into the living room and gathering his things headed toward the door. "Where are you going now?!" Asked Soujirou still trailing close behind. "Since I don't have a car anymore and I'm in serious need of one I guess I'll go car shopping." Without waiting for his manager's approval he shut the door behind him and walk down the hallway towards the elevator.
Sighing Soujirou stared blankly at the now closed door. He didn't know if Kenshin's feeling alright after all. Usually he's really grumpy after each crash. And probably wouldn't have been tolerable with him. After what he just said it wouldn't be unusual to start a minor or even a major argument. +Maybe he's not alright...it's already weird that he's not grumpy let alone be happy?? My...guess I'll have to call the doctors after all.+ Having no more business there Soujirou retreated to his office.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++
Kaoru slept throughout the two morning period. Stirring when she heard the interval bell. She sat up and look around the library. Students are starting to come in for the break. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she sighed, the sleep had been anything but refreshing. Strangely all she managed to dream about is that mad driver. Kaoru sat back wondering why on earth did she dream about that guy? +He might be kinda cute but I don't even know him....Hmm Maybe I'm really desperate in finding a boyfriend.+ She take a glance around again in hope to find a cute guy but she ended up frowning. +Guys in this school is...hopeless. The goodlooking ones are all taken.+ Swinging the school bag onto her shoulder she slumped out in search of her friends.
Soon enough Kaoru found Misao and Aoshi sitting together on a bench dissolved in a conversation. From the sparkle in Misao 's eyes she could tell that the couple preferred to be left alone. Walking further her eyes strayed across the soccer field to Megumi who stood alone under a tree. Without hesitating she sprinted towards the darked haired girl. "Hey!! Kaoru, How's your morning." "Want the truth? It's horrible I almost got mowed down by this car." She said anger starting to bubble up again. Megumi looked alarmed. + Count it on Megumi to want to know every single detail in everyone's life.+ "You have to tell me everything girl. Go on, quick!!" she urged interest glinting in her eyes.
By the time Kaoru finished telling her story they have about five minutes left to their morning break. "So the driver's hot?? What's his name do you know??" The older girl asked fox ears appearing on her head. " Umm...actually I was too furious to ask his n----." "WHAT?!!! Kamiya Kaoru You Found a HOT guy and You Didn't Ask For his Name??!! Now that's a Tragedy!! Shrieked Megumi. Kaoru winced upon hearing her friend shriek. + I shouldn't have mention that the guy's hot if I know she'll be acting like this !_!+ "Um so where's Sano anyways??" she asked trying to get the friend's mind away from what she called 'tragedy'.
Megumi stopped ranting and looked at Kaoru briefly before narrowing her eyes and jerking her head irritated towards the soccer field.
And sure enough when the younger girl looked around she made out her friend's figure running across the field all sweaty and red deeply involved in his game of soccer.
Afew minutes later the bell rang and the two girls made their way up to their respective classes together, shortly being joined by the sweaty Sanosuke.
Lunch came as a disaster to Kaoru. She couldn't find her purse anywhere. She had spend the whole lunchtime looking in the places she might have left it but to no use. The idea of loosing her purse brought her close to the verge of tears. Not only there were all her credit and Id cards in there but it also told the picture of her late parents. And not to mention quite a large amount of money as well.
Kaoru walked home feeling very down. It had been altogether a very horrible day. And the heavy load of homework adds to her pressure. Blearily she walk into her dark apartment. Not bothering to turn on the lights she made it straight to her bed and fall into a restless slumber in hope that when she awakes everything will be turn out better.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++
Slamming the door behind him, Kenshin let himself into the darkened penthouse. It had been a really exhausting day. He had spent the entire afternoon looking around for a new car. He was sure he had been into more than ten showrooms earlier that afternoon. He wasn't the picky type when it comes to cars. Usually anything with the sporty look within his color range would do. But it wasn't like that today. Even his favorite color seemed boring today. It was almost nightfall when he finally came across something that caught his attention. Without hesitation he bought it.
Stripping himself from his garments he strode soundlessly into his bedroom. Not bothering to turn on the light he threw himself onto the large bed. Eventhough his body was all tired out, his mind were far too alert to drift off to sleep. Letting his mind wander, he found himself thinking of a certain raven-haired girl. Before long he fell into a helpless slumber a smile still gracing his features.
