Chapter 1- Love at First Sight
"Okay everyone! This is the last song I'm going to sing today it's called, 'You Should Know'." There was an eruption of cheers coming from the crowd in the stadium. The man holding the microphone let out a low chuckle. "That's what I want to hear!" He signaled for the musicians to start the music as he walked over to the front of the stage and placed the microphone on the stand. He smiled at the audience and closed his eyes to get the beat of the music into his mind. Soon, he started to sing with his melodious voice.
There are some things I want to tell you;
So many things went through my mind.
Can't use the telephone, no I can mail you.
But I surely need to find…
The time, the place
To show my face
And tell you I love you face to face.
You've been there for me when I thought life would never go on.
And you mean the world to me
So I'm singing you this song.
Kenshin Himura sang the song with his eyes closed half the time. He had written the lyrics and his best friend Soujiro had written the music. It was he who was playing the piano right now. His cousin Chikage was singing the female harmony and his younger sister Rini was watching from backstage. His other sister Yaone was on his right playing the electric guitar, though she was standing there resting for this song. His friend Aoshi Shinomori was seated behind him in the back of a drum set. To his right was his other friend Sanosuke Sagara, the bass guitarist. He had been singing ever since he could remember. He was a famous singer and he loved his fans. He tucked a stray lock of red hair behind his ear and continued singing.
You should know you're someone special;
You should know that you're the star.
You should know I'm always here for you
No matter where you are.
Even though we're not together,
We will never grow apart.
And I will always have a very special place
For you
Here in my heart.
In my life I've seen people come.
And in my life I've seen people go.
To start anew
And fade away
Through it all I've learned to grow.
In my life I've learned different names.
I've lived so many stories different days.
The world revolves with constant change
But you still remain the same.
And now I'm here,
I'm searching for,
The words to express that I adore
The love that we share when I thought life would never go on.
You've always been there for me,
So I'm singing you this song.
You should know you're someone special;
You should know that you're the star;
You should know I'm always here for you,
No matter where you are.
Even though we're not together
We will never grow apart.
And I will always have a very special place
For you
Here in my heart.
My heart…
My heart…
You've been through
My ups and downs;
My second wind my higher ground
Thank you for being with me when I thought life would never go on.
You're God's greatest gift to me
So I'm singing you this song.
This song.
You should know you're someone special;
You should know that you're the star;
You should know I'm always here for you,
No matter where you are.
Even though we're not together
We will never grow apart.
See my love for you has become life's greatest chapter
My heart will be getting my ending so happily ever after
You always will mean
'Cause you stood by my side from the start.
And I will always have a very special place
For you
Here in my heart…
You…
Should know…
Kenshin opened his eyes and stared at the audience. The song was over, and the crowd was silent. He reached over and grabbed the mic from the stand. "You're supposed to start screaming 'Kenshin' and clap now," he said jokingly. Right after he said that, the stadium was filled with screams and laughter and about any other possible sound that could be made to express joy. Kenshin smiled and raised his hand, signaling the stadium to grow silent. "Alright, everyone. That's the end of our concert today. I have to go home, get some sleep, and get ready for a road trip!" Kenshin wasn't quite sure why he said that, but he said it anyway. "But I'll be around at some places to sign autographs, take pictures, and maybe even a few mini-concerts. How does that sound?" There was an uproar of applause from the audience. "That's what I thought." Kenshin smirked. He bowed and left the stage. The lights on the stage started to dim, and people started to leave the arena. You could see the faint outline of the background singers and musicians leave the stage or pack up their stuff. Kenshin was backstage, moving to his dressing room.
"Excuse me, miss. Thank you, sir. Why, it's an honor, gentlemen." Kenshin was moving around the hall, trying to get into his dressing room. The hall was big, but he was a kind man that wanted to make everyone happy. He was busy walking and talking with one of his colleagues when he bumped into someone shorter and smaller than him. He heard a startled, "Oof" and looked down to see a very surprised woman with papers scattered around her. He quickly fell to his knees to help her gather her documents. "My apologies! I wasn't being careful. I am so sorry. This is my fault."
"No, really," the woman tried to grab some of the documents. Some of her hair was lost by the ribbon tying it together and her papers were becoming more jumbled up than from when they were scattered from the fall. "It was my fault, Kenshin, sir. I should have been watching where I was going and should have been more cautious."
"But I should have been wary of the crowd and not talk so much," Kenshin replied. "I am so sorry."
The woman stood and used her free hand to straighten out her skirts. She tucked the stack of papers under one arm and offered her hand. "How about we both say sorry and get on with our lives? I can imagine that you have much business to attend to, Mister Kenshin." Kenshin hesitantly took her hand. She was beautiful. Her black hair – though it was a bit untidy – was so shiny and it fell to the nape of her neck, if not lower. He looked deep into her eyes and saw a glimmer of recognition. So she was a fan?
He smiled. "Well, it was nice to meet – " Before he could finish, she let his hand g and brushed past him, making her way to a few people on the end of the hall he had come from. He watched them disappear onto the stage.
"So you met her?" He turned to see Soujiro grinning at him. He was always smiling. "She's really nice. I was talking to her before the show started." Soujiro looked past him to the stage.
"Who is she?" Kenshin stared at the stage as if something were there. He couldn't forget the woman's face. It was impossible.
"She's the one that owns this place," Soujiro smiled, "I don't quite remember her name though. I do believe that it started with a 'k' though." Soujiro sighed. "I don't remember. I'm sorry, Kenshin." Soujiro once again looked to the stage. "You did good today, Kenshin!" Soujiro exclaimed, slapping Kenshin on the back. He wanted a change of subject.
Kenshin nodded and smiled in acknowledgement. He could hear everything Soujiro was saying, but he chose not to listen. He was too busy thinking about the woman he bumped into. After a little one-sided chat with Soujiro, Kenshin finally got back to his dressing room. He started putting his things away. Tomorrow they would be leaving. He sighed as he left the arena a few hours later. His stay in Kyoto had ended. Now he would return to his home in Tokyo. He only had a small vacation at home, but it would be well worth it. He entered the limo where his family and friends were waiting. "Good job today, Kenshin," Chikage said as she patted him on the back. "I knew you'd do well, cousin!" Kenshin smiled as he buckled up his seat belt.
"You did great, Kenshin," his best friend, Shippo, smiled at him. "I feel bad that my girlfriend wasn't here to see it." The fact that Shippo had a girlfriend wasn't a big secret. He had been going out with Rin Kamiya for a while now. "She said her sister was going to be out late and she had to stay with her brother's best friend for the night."
"You were awesome, Kenshin," Sanosuke said.
"I believe you did very well," Aoshi said as he twirled his drumsticks in his hands. Kenshin nodded and stared out the window as the car started to move. He still couldn't stop thinking about that woman. He just had to see her again. He knew it was true love.
Joe: okay, I'm going to stop it there. Next is the life of that woman. Hehe…well, don't go away. I'm going to go and work on those other stories now. Haha. Bye! runs away
Tsukiko: and you're just going to leave me here? Fine, be like that…grr…glare
