Chapter 4
A fabulous red mini convertible stood gleaming in the morning sun. It
was hard to tell which was more attractive, the
tiny vehicle or its driver than leaned causally against it. Many girls
walked by staring, some whispering excitedly to each other. "Is it
him?" one of the girl asked nudging her friend and all the while kept
looking back at the man clad in black with a sunglass covering most of
his face. The other girl looked back..." If it's really him, why would
he be here for???
But yea he looked alot like him." She nodded in agreement. "Let's go
ask him!"
The two girls by walked slowly towards the petite car and the guy they
referred as Him.
"Umm, sorry...we're just wondering if you're...er.you're, er..."
"If you're Himura Kenshin!" the other girl finishes it off for her
friend who now kept nodding fervently.
The guy lowered his sunglasses and look at the two girls. It was quite
hard to tell what he was thinking for his face showed no trace of any
emotion.
"What if I say I am....him" he drawled.
"OH MY GODDDDD! YOU're ReAlLy HIMURA KENSHIN!!!!" the two girl shrieked
in unison.
Kenshin tried to motion for the girls to stop shouting but it was too
late. The sound had obviously caught most of the nearby girls'
attention.
The next thing Kenshin knew he was swarmed by at least a dozen girls.
All asking for his phone number, addresses and autographs.
Walking into the school ground Kaoru was surprised to see so many
people crowding around something or was it someone? Seeing that there's
plenty of time before schools starts she decided to see what was
causing such a commotion. The next moment she was dragged into the
crowd by Misao and Megumi. Both of them have their pens and notepads
out.
"What's going on??" Kaoru asked her two friends.
Misao is now dancing on tiptoe humming a tune. She jumped up and down
pointing towards the center of the crowd.
Kaoru's gaze followed but all she could see are the heads of other
girls infront of her. Megumi saw the confused
Expression on Kaoru's face,and she too pointed towards the center of
the crowd saying, "Himura Kenshin's right overthere. Hohoho! (Fox ears
appearing on her head). There's no way I'd leave without having him
sign me an autograph."
"Himura Kenshin??? Isn't he some kind of a singer? Or one of those
movie star???" the raven -haired girl asked.
"Yep. Yep .Yep! You're right, he's a super cool, damn adorable and sexy
singer." Shrieked Misao still jumping up and down.
"Come on girl ,get out your pen and paper. It's a chance of a lifetime.
You wouldn't wanna miss it." Said Megumi nudging her friend lightly.
"Yea ...Yea ...you sure don't wanna miss this chance Kaoru." Piped in
the youngest girl.
"Um, I'm not really into stuff like this. I Just wanted to know why you
all are crowding around that's all. Pretty weird though why a movie
star's doing in our school. Anyway I'm off, see you two in class then."
Kaoru replied, turning on her heals she walk briskly away toward the
school building.
"Wait Kaoru!!!!....Kaoru!!!!!" called Misao and Megumi together.
Kenshin was stuck in the middle of a group of giggly high school girls.
He felted like he had been standing there for hours,when he heard
someone called out 'Kaoru.' Quickly he turns to where the voice came
from. And not far from there he spotted her walking away,he could make
out those long silky tresses tied up into a high ponytail.
Not wanting to miss his opportunity to talk to her, he quickly squeezes
his way out from the group of girl, and took off after her.
The girls were stunned by their idol's action when he made way towards
a certain black haired girl. Not wanting to miss the good scene they
took off after him.
"Hey! You there...Wait up!"
Kaoru was about to walk up the stairs when she heard someone calling
her back. Wondering who it could be she stopped and turned around.
At the sight of the red headed driver her brows furrowed up. What is
this guy doing here.
"What Do You want!" she asked folding her armed irritatedly at him." If
you're here to ask me to pay for your car's repairing, I think I've
already told you I don't have the Money!! So stop bugging me and go
away!!!"
"I think you've mistaken my intention miss." Kenshin said stopping dead
in his track."You see ,you drop this." Bringing the little purse out of
his pocket. He hold it up for her to see then turning in around
thoughtfully." But since you told me to go away then.... I guess I'll
just leave you alone then." Stuffing the purse back into his pocket he
pivoted and walked slowly down the corridor.
At the site of her missing purse in his hands. Kaoru practically felt
her heart jolt in delight. When he put her purse back into his pocket
and started to walk away, she practically leapt after him.
"Wait!" she called to him.
Hearing her call, a smile played upon Kenshin's lips. He turned around
slowly meeting her beautiful blues eyes.
"I'm sorry...Can I have my purse back?" she asked him politely.
Kenshin looked at her thoughtfully."Hmm..Sure, but only if you'll give
me your name and if you don't mind your phone number." He said
playfully giving her a wink.
Kaoru looked at the guy infront of her absently.... Who did he think
he is.... asking my name and number that easily,
O well...for my purse.
"Kaoru...Kamiya Kaoru. Sorry I don't think I should give you my phone
number though. Can I have my purse back now...should sound abit more
polite?...please?"
Chuckling lightly he handed back her purse. "I doubt you know who I
am,so if you want you're welcome to contact me anytime." he added.
Damn this guy is sooo into himself sigh
"Actually I don't think I know you." She said lightly Apart from the
fact that you almost kill me yesterday.
Kenshin looked at her wide-eyed. He thought he was famous enough to be
known by everyone, or atleast by a certain age group,but this girl
standing infront of him said she never knew him before. Gosh! She
didn't know me??! No wonder she's not all over me...O well!"
Sighing he took out one of his business card and handed it to her. "
Take this...I don't usually give it to much people. Anyway better get
going, see you around then, Miss Kaoru."
With that he turned and glided briskly down the now crowded corridor.
Most girls whispered excitedly to one another. Some looking jealously
at Kaoru. Some shaking their heads and some just kept on staring.
Megumi and Misao hurriedly make their way towards their friend. They
dragged her into the nearest girl's toilet.
"Now, Missy Fill us in."Megumi said excitedly.
"Yea where did you two meet, when did you get to know him!" Misao asked
her large eyes gleaming.
"What are you two talking about?" Kaoru asked her two friends confused.
Megumi and Misao looked at each other, jaws dropping.
"You mean you really didn't know...HIM??" They asked loudly.
"Ofcourse I do,he's the guy that almost mowed me down with his car
yesterday." She whispered dangerously.
Kaoru hated it when people acted like she's a little child who didn't
know a single thing.
"Omigod!! So He's the mad driver??!! Damn Cool!!" cried Misao.
"Yea!"
"But apart from the fact that he's the mad driver do you know anything
else about him????" questioned Megumi he eyes glittering strangely.
"No--..." she admitted.
Aha!! This is very interesting!! Megumi grasps excitedly.
"What is wrong with you two, he's just a careless, mad driver. Nothing
important. Stop fussing."
"Well, Missy. Why don't you take a look at his business card." The
older girl said in mock serious tone.
Kaoru took out the tiny business card and read the name printed on it.
'Himura Kenshin'. At the name she looked up at her friends while her
eyes widened in utter surprise....." He's the...you
mean....he's....they're the same person?" she asked both her friends
shockingly.
"You two sure???!"
"We're Damn sure, girl." Screamed Misao delightfully.
Misao who seemed overly excited, hugged Kaoru tightly." I never knew
you're going out with an idol. I'm so happy for you Kao....!!!!!!"
"Hey who said I'm going out with Him??!!" the raven-haired protested.
But then it hitted her. Maybe he's the one
she's been waiting for. Coming to think of it she can't deny that he's
very attractive, with those eyes and that body.
To top it all off he's a Celebrity. What more could she possible ask
for. And maybe how they met possibly a destiny?
Making her mind up she hugged Misao back.
"Maybe I'm not going out with him just yet but you wait and see I'll
make him to go out with me real soon."
She smiled evilly and dragged her two friends off to their first class
of the day.
Kenshin walked into his office feeling very content with himself. He
had a chance to talk to her and she had given him her name. Not that he
didn't already knew her name but to actually have her tell him is
another thing. But what surprised him was that she doesn't know who he
is. He sat down on a leather cushion. It was possible that she had
known his identity all along but pretend she doesn't just to attract
his attention. He had heard alot of his fellow singer talking about
cases like that. But Kaoru didn't seem like that type of person. He
somehow liked this girl alot. She reminded him of someone he had known
long time ago. He relaxed at the thought but tensed up again when he
heard a knock at his office's door. "Come in." He said lightly.
Soujirou appeared between the doorway carrying afew folders." I just
came in to see if you're working on the new song or not. It's supposed
to be edited by next week. So better get it together. I don't think Mr.
Shishio would be happy to hear about overdue projects." He said
smiling.
"I know, I know. You don't have to lecture me about my work. Don't
worry I'll give you plenty of new demos by the end of this week. Happy?
By the way even though Shishio's the boss of this record company that
doesn't mean I have to be scare of him." Kenshin drawled his eyes
glinting dangerously.
"Right, but to keep the peaceful atmosphere in this company, let's not
have problems with him. I'll leave you to work then." He muttered
closing the door behind him. But then he popped back in again saying
briskly," Oh and you have a press conference tomorrow at ten in the
morning. Try not to get into any kind of accident this time, alright."
Winking he left Kenshin alone to work.
Sanosuke sat under the shade of his usual tree watching his friends
playing a game of soccer in the field not far away. He had been late to
school that morning and had missed the entire riot. The whole day he
had heard his gal friends talk about it. But as he wasn't the type of
guy to be too interested in movie or pop stars he couldn't care less.
And not one of the girls even bother to tell him exactly the idol-freak
was. All they did was giving him stupid clue and make him guess. He
sighed and look around fanning himself.
It was getting really hot where he sat and he started to wish that
Megumi and the rest of the gang would hurry up so that they could get
going to the ice cream parlour. Nothing's better than having ice cream
on a blazing day. He heaved a sigh and then his ears picked up his
girlfriend's giggle in the distance. He turned his heads towards the
sound to see the three girls walking up to him. Obviously they have
been up to something. The only time that he would see his Megumi
looking so giggly is only when she's up to something.
"So what's keeping you three girls? The heat's killing me." He said
pouting at all three ladies standing infront of him.
"We'll fill you in at the ice cream place. It's too hot to talk here."
Megumi replied fanning herself.
The three girls sat silently all the way to the palour. Even if they
wanted to talk it would be pretty hard due to the volume of Sano's
extra large stereo set..
The four walked slowly into the crammed up store. Seating themselves at
one of the free table, they took turn ordering their favourite choice
of ice cream. After the waitress left to get their orders Sano leant
back on his chair.
"So could you tell me what you three are up to now?" he asked a
bemused look upon his face.
Leaning in closer to her boyfriend, Megumi whispered quietly." Can you
keep a secret?"
"Yea, sure..as long as it's got nothing to do with murdering off
someone or somekind of illegal drugs." He answered chuckling.
"Alright. Um you remember about how Kaoru almost became road flatten
the other day?" she asked still keeping her voice low.
"Uhuh. But what's it got to do with..."
"She's getting to the point just shut up and listen will you." Growled
Misao.
Giving Misao one of his sheepish grin he threw up his hands, "Okay,
sorry. Keep going then."
"Right. You see the driver came to our school this morning to
um...apologize to Kaoru about what had happened and returned her
missing purse. And it seems like he's not a normal crazy driver after
all."
"Why? He's got four eyes and five ears all over his head then." Sano
said jokingly.
"Well...better than that, you rooster head. He's....." Misao was cutted
in the middle of the sentence by the waitress who came to place them
with their orders.
Picking up his glass of cream soda, Sano start sipping the drink
quietly.
Megumi waited until she was sure the waitress was out of the hearing
range when she started talking again.
"He's a really famous pop star...." she said her eyes twinkling.
"He's Himura Kenhin!" Misao chirped
As soon as he heard the name Sano choked out some of his drink much to
everyone's disgust. Putting down his glass he started laughing. He
laughed so hard that everyone in the palour are now looking right at
him.
Kaoru had never seen anyone that hysteric before and it starts to
bother her nerves What is so funny. I give him three more seconds to
calm down before I'll kick him.
Megumi decided that if Sano kept on laughing like a mad person like
that they'll ended up being kicked out of the place. So she pinched his
elbow as hard as she could.
The trick worked. Sano yelp at the pinch and was starting to gain back
some sanity. He take one look at his girlfriend's serious face,then
ducked below the table. When he got back up he had a mock serious
expression on.
"You girls mean, Himura Kenshin?" he asked looking at the three in
turns.
"Yessss." Misao said bluntly looking frustrated.
"Red haired and purple eyes?"
"Duh! Yea. Come on Sano, don't tell me you've never seen him on all
those music magazines." Stammered Misao.
"Um, Misao does Sano look like the music magazine crazy type of
person??" Megumi teased batting her lashes
at her boyfriend.
"Hey!! I might not be a magazine freak but I do know who Himura Kenshin
is alright. Actually I---"
"Thank God..thought I'd be dommed to have a friend who spend his whole
life knowing nothing since he never read anything." Put in Misao
airily.
"Fine if you put it that way then I guess I won't tell you this little
piece of information I happen to know about this Himura guy of yours."
"Yea? Who cares,it'll probably be something we already knew like, hmm
let's say, He launching a new album somtime really soon, or maybe it's
something absurd like he's some kind of crazy murderer."
"Hey come on you two stop fighting, Misao, I think I'd like to hear
what Sano knew about 'Him'." Kaou said. She had been listening to the
little argument between her two friends for awhile now and it starts to
annoy her.
"Thank you Jou-chan. And I can say it's nothing like Weasel girl said."
"Why you Rooster Head---!"
"Misao....." warned Kaoru.
"Fine better be something interesting alright!" she frowned sitting
back on her seat.
"Okay,Here goes, Himura Kenshin's not only a good singer, he's also a
very gifted swordman."
"Haa! Kaoru,Megumi see what I meant!!" cried Misao Triumphantly "How on
earth did you ever came up with something like that. It's so
ridiculous.Himura a swordman.My, it's worse than I first expected."
"Misao..." hissed Megumi.
"Fine! Take his side,but tell me rooster head how did you know if he's
good at this thing and that thing."
"I'd Know Cuz I've been in the same club as he is at school.And I have
seen him practice countless of times." He replied sipping his drink.
"WHAT?!!" the three girls cried in unison.
Seeing that almost everyhead in the place had turn to watch them they
slowly lowered their voices.
"Sano you mean you've been his fellow classmate??" asked Megumi
interested.
"Well not really classmate – he was older than me-we're just in the
same club. That was before he went off to college and I moved to your
school. We used to be great friend, actually we still are now."
"How come you never tell us anything?!" wailed Misao. "You could
atleast say you're his friend and get us some backstage passes for his
concerts!"
"You never asked, so why should I tell you." He relpied nonchalantly.
"Besides why don't you ask your boyfriend weasel girl. He was the real
classmate." That caused Misao to shriek even louder. "What do you mean the real classmate?? You don't mean Aoshi knew Himura as well??" "He certainly did. They weren't best friends but they were pretty close. But Aoshi went to one college and Kenshin he um sorta went to another."
Kaoru was dumbstruck, Aoshi might be in the range to know Himura, being
in the right society and all but she never knew Sano would be
acquainted to someone that famous. But hey it'll be easier to get to
know him then, with Sano being his friend and all.
"So Sano how's er this friend of yours...I mean is he a nice person?"
Kaoru asked anxiously
"Hmm..he's nice alright but he's got a very hot temper. Just don't get
on his nerves and it should be okay.
So he's the guy who make all the riot this morning? I see..." Sano said
nodding to himself.
Taking out his cell phone Sanosuke dialed a number and press the phone
to his ears.
"Hey. It's Sano. You free tonight. Nah.. nothing I just thought we'd
get together and you know just hangout or something. Yea that's cool.
Uhuh there's someone I want you to meet too. Cool Tomorrow then.
Alright see ya."
He hung up and grin at his friends.
"Who did you just called" asked his girlfriend curiously.
"A friend.."
"You mean???"
"Well Misao, Kaoru you're invited to my little party tomorrow night at
my place. I won't accept any refusals especially from you Jou-chan." He
grin finishing off his glass of drink.
Hehehe So hope you all liked it! As usual Reviews Please!!!! Any question, you're always welcome to e-mail me and I'll Answer it for ya....So see you next chapter...
A/N: Like the previous chapter.... THOUGHTS ..." SPEECH"...easy as

briskly," Oh and you have a press conference tomorrow at ten in the
morning. Try not to get into any kind of accident this time, alright."
Winking he left Kenshin alone to work.
Sanosuke sat under the shade of his usual tree watching his friends
playing a game of soccer in the field not far away. He had been late to
school that morning and had missed the entire riot. The whole day he
had heard his gal friends talk about it. But as he wasn't the type of
guy to be too interested in movie or pop stars he couldn't care less.
And not one of the girls even bother to tell him exactly the idol-freak
was. All they did was giving him stupid clue and make him guess. He
sighed and look around fanning himself.
It was getting really hot where he sat and he started to wish that
Megumi and the rest of the gang would hurry up so that they could get
going to the ice cream parlour. Nothing's better than having ice cream
on a blazing day. He heaved a sigh and then his ears picked up his
girlfriend's giggle in the distance. He turned his heads towards the
sound to see the three girls walking up to him. Obviously they have
been up to something. The only time that he would see his Megumi
looking so giggly is only when she's up to something.
"So what's keeping you three girls? The heat's killing me." He said
pouting at all three ladies standing infront of him.
"We'll fill you in at the ice cream place. It's too hot to talk here."
Megumi replied fanning herself.
The three girls sat silently all the way to the palour. Even if they
wanted to talk it would be pretty hard due to the volume of Sano's
extra large stereo set..
The four walked slowly into the crammed up store. Seating themselves at
one of the free table, they took turn ordering their favourite choice
of ice cream. After the waitress left to get their orders Sano leant
back on his chair.
"So could you tell me what you three are up to now?" he asked a
bemused look upon his face.
Leaning in closer to her boyfriend, Megumi whispered quietly." Can you
keep a secret?"
"Yea, sure..as long as it's got nothing to do with murdering off
someone or somekind of illegal drugs." He answered chuckling.
"Alright. Um you remember about how Kaoru almost became road flatten
the other day?" she asked still keeping her voice low.
"Uhuh. But what's it got to do with..."
"She's getting to the point just shut up and listen will you." Growled
Misao.
Giving Misao one of his sheepish grin he threw up his hands, "Okay,
sorry. Keep going then."
"Right. You see the driver came to our school this morning to
um...apologize to Kaoru about what had happened and returned her
missing purse. And it seems like he's not a normal crazy driver after
all."
"Why? He's got four eyes and five ears all over his head then." Sano
said jokingly.
"Well...better than that, you rooster head. He's....." Misao was cutted
in the middle of the sentence by the waitress who came to place them
with their orders.
Picking up his glass of cream soda, Sano start sipping the drink
quietly.
Megumi waited until she was sure the waitress was out of the hearing
range when she started talking again.
"He's a really famous pop star...." she said her eyes twinkling.
"He's Himura Kenhin!" Misao chirped
As soon as he heard the name Sano choked out some of his drink much to
everyone's disgust. Putting down his glass he started laughing. He
laughed so hard that everyone in the palour are now looking right at
him.
Kaoru had never seen anyone that hysteric before and it starts to
bother her nerves What is so funny. I give him three more seconds to
calm down before I'll kick him.
Megumi decided that if Sano kept on laughing like a mad person like
that they'll ended up being kicked out of the place. So she pinched his
elbow as hard as she could.
The trick worked. Sano yelp at the pinch and was starting to gain back
some sanity. He take one look at his girlfriend's serious face,then
ducked below the table. When he got back up he had a mock serious
expression on.
"You girls mean, Himura Kenshin?" he asked looking at the three in
turns.
"Yessss." Misao said bluntly looking frustrated.
"Red haired and purple eyes?"
"Duh! Yea. Come on Sano, don't tell me you've never seen him on all
those music magazines." Stammered Misao.
"Um, Misao does Sano look like the music magazine crazy type of
person??" Megumi teased batting her lashes
at her boyfriend.
"Hey!! I might not be a magazine freak but I do know who Himura Kenshin
is alright. Actually I---"
"Thank God..thought I'd be dommed to have a friend who spend his whole
life knowing nothing since he never read anything." Put in Misao
airily.
"Fine if you put it that way then I guess I won't tell you this little
piece of information I happen to know about this Himura guy of yours."
"Yea? Who cares,it'll probably be something we already knew like, hmm
let's say, He launching a new album somtime really soon, or maybe it's
something absurd like he's some kind of crazy murderer."
"Hey come on you two stop fighting, Misao, I think I'd like to hear
what Sano knew about 'Him'." Kaou said. She had been listening to the
little argument between her two friends for awhile now and it starts to
annoy her.
"Thank you Jou-chan. And I can say it's nothing like Weasel girl said."
"Why you Rooster Head---!"
"Misao....." warned Kaoru.
"Fine better be something interesting alright!" she frowned sitting
back on her seat.
"Okay,Here goes, Himura Kenshin's not only a good singer, he's also a
very gifted swordman."
"Haa! Kaoru,Megumi see what I meant!!" cried Misao Triumphantly "How on
earth did you ever came up with something like that. It's so
ridiculous.Himura a swordman.My, it's worse than I first expected."
"Misao..." hissed Megumi.
"Fine! Take his side,but tell me rooster head how did you know if he's
good at this thing and that thing."
"I'd Know Cuz I've been in the same club as he is at school.And I have
seen him practice countless of times." He replied sipping his drink.
"WHAT?!!" the three girls cried in unison.
Seeing that almost everyhead in the place had turn to watch them they
slowly lowered their voices.
"Sano you mean you've been his fellow classmate??" asked Megumi
interested.
"Well not really classmate – he was older than me-we're just in the
same club. That was before he went off to college and I moved to your
school. We used to be great friend, actually we still are now."
"How come you never tell us anything?!" wailed Misao. "You could
atleast say you're his friend and get us some backstage passes for his
concerts!"
"You never asked, so why should I tell you." He relpied nonchalantly.
"Besides why don't you ask your boyfriend weasel girl. He was the real
classmate." That caused Misao to shriek even louder. "What do you mean the real classmate?? You don't mean Aoshi knew Himura as well??" "He certainly did. They weren't best friends but they were pretty close. But Aoshi went to one college and Kenshin he um sorta went to another."
Kaoru was dumbstruck, Aoshi might be in the range to know Himura, being
in the right society and all but she never knew Sano would be
acquainted to someone that famous. But hey it'll be easier to get to
know him then, with Sano being his friend and all.
"So Sano how's er this friend of yours...I mean is he a nice person?"
Kaoru asked anxiously
"Hmm..he's nice alright but he's got a very hot temper. Just don't get
on his nerves and it should be okay.
So he's the guy who make all the riot this morning? I see..." Sano said
nodding to himself.
Taking out his cell phone Sanosuke dialed a number and press the phone
to his ears.
"Hey. It's Sano. You free tonight. Nah.. nothing I just thought we'd
get together and you know just hangout or something. Yea that's cool.
Uhuh there's someone I want you to meet too. Cool Tomorrow then.
Alright see ya."
He hung up and grin at his friends.
"Who did you just called" asked his girlfriend curiously.
"A friend.."
"You mean???"
"Well Misao, Kaoru you're invited to my little party tomorrow night at
my place. I won't accept any refusals especially from you Jou-chan." He
grin finishing off his glass of drink.
