LAST Chapter
Kaoru tries to make amends but Kenshin ignores her.
This Chapter
Kaoru's POV
'Why was mister all mighty Battousai such a jack-ass' Kaoru thought numbly. The only reason she apologized was because she didn't liked leaving loose ends lying around. It wasn't worth all the trouble keeping track of who would betray you or simply taunt you when you need help, you know. It was easier just being on friendly acquaintance terms rather then holding grudges for the rest of your life.
Life was too short.
'Besides,' Kaoru thought 'all my gear got picked up so no harm done right. Since she was alive and her lungs didn't explode I think I'm ok.'
Back to third person
It had been two days since Kaoru's bizarre inauguration into Enishi's group. She didn't exactly know if they were friends or acquaintances or what but she was apprehensive about seeing them again or maybe she was flat out avoiding them.
On that morning Kaoru and her sisters merry band decided to go see TROY!!!! (Much of the later happenings and teasing that Kaoru goes through is what I endure every day by some friends that will remain nameless cough Leslie cough.)
Now as the reader might have guessed Kaoru was not a guy crazy or obsessive about a certain Orlando Bloom cough Marvy cough but she did appreciate a hot body cough Brad Pitt cough when she saw one.
(Maybe I should get a cough drop of two? Because my friends are so comical as I am I will tell my story through this as not to embarrass my friends or myself further. Take note: most of this is true except for the car bit.)
Confusion was a good word to describe Kaoru's thoughts. Not reading the Odyssey or the Iliad made the movie a confusing mess of characters and plot lines. The one thing she did understand was the Trojan horse, which was coming at the end of the movie.
Through the film she kept annoying Megumi and Tae with questions about what exactly Agamemnon was doing and why Paris was a wimp. The last bit earning her an elbow from Tae on her pressure point. Kaoru had to admit, that for someone who aspired to be a chef she could elbow really hard.
She then spent the rest of the movie in anticipation for the only part she understood and talking to Tsubame who agreed with her that Orlando Bloom was a wimp and Achilles definitely was hotter.
Twenty minuets before the movie ended her cell phone started to ring. She ran out of the movie theater as to not disturb anyone further.
"What?!" she asked irritably not wanting to miss the rest of the Hector/Achilles fight.
"Hey Jo-chan What's up lately." The Sano's deep voice drawled.
"Listen Sano I'm in the middle of a movie right now and I don't want to miss the ending so can you call back." She rushed.
"Actually I have a confession to make." Sano whispered. He paused before the word confession as if hiding something. He sounded apprehensive about something making Kaoru nervous.
"Yeah I'm listening. Go on." She replied.
"I...um. I." he stuttered.
"Come on Sano spit it out." Kaoru was now in between nervous and irritated because she figured the fight was almost over.
"I sorta borrowed your jeep and well...."
"What did you do to my car?" Kaoru gritted her teeth. 'Why is it that every expensive item I buy is being trashed?' she thought hoping the outcome of the sentence wasn't as bad as it sounded.
"It's gone!" he blurted.
"WHAT!?" Kaoru screamed earning glares from several people around her.
"I only left it for a second, I swear." The stream of words coming out of his mouth, were rushing at an incomprehensible speed. "I just went out to get a hot dog and when I turned around the jeep was gone!"
"Sano! Where the heck are you?" she screamed temporarily forgetting the movie and running out or the cinema.
"I'm done by the hot dog shop down the street from the cinema."
'How convenient I can just kill the stupid rooster-head now instead after I get my car back.' She practically ran towards the little hot dog stand.
Two and a half hours later
A tall spiky-haired man standing next a girl a foot shorter than him were standing in front of a dented Jeep laying upside down in the middle of a public park.
"Well at least we found your car Jo-chan" Sano smiled.
"If I didn't need your help flipping my car over I'd kill you."
Kaoru called for a tow truck to come pick up her sadly trashed car. It had dents throughout the body; the muffler the fabric on the roof had been torn, the tires punctured and the engine was billowing smoke. Some of the parts had completely fallen off the car namely the mirrors, and some gizmos that have one important use or another. (Sorry cars aren't really my forte.)
There, Sano and Kaoru sat in the front of the tow truck waiting to go to the mechanic. While Kaoru looked thoroughly pissed Sano sulked and tended to his bruised limbs and ego.
After a twenty-minuet ride to the car shop they finally reached it. As if Kaoru's life could not get any more inconvenient stood a redheaded man of short stature smirking evilly in a car mechanic uniform. Kaoru groaned and commenced hitting her head on the dashboard in succession.
The redhead strutted up to the car with his smirk still etched in place. "Well look who it is, it's the Tanuki and the Rooster." Kaoru groaned again and put her chin on the dashboard attempting and failing to ignore that he was there.
"Yo, Kenshin what up?" Sano smiled doing a little handshake through the window.
"Hello Himura." Kaoru greeted monotonously. "You work here?" she asked dreading his answer.
"Occasionally" he replied coolly. "It seems that I will be working on your jeep for a while. Tsk Tsk You should take care of your possessions better Kamiya san." He mocked.
"You wouldn't charge me extra for a that teensy, tiny, miniscule, very small discussion we had two days ago would you?" Kaoru asked hopefully. She plastered a fake smile with puppy dog eyes for extra emphasis.
"You mean the one where you called me an Asshole, a nimrod and an incubus human being? Are you talking about that conversation?" he smiled triumphantly.
"Come on you wouldn't take advantage of this situation and take away my grocery money for college would you? I mean since you wouldn't want to leave a poor girl defenseless and starving her first semester would you."
"Jo-chan this is becoming disgusting." Sano choked and got out of the car to ask if he could use the phone.
Kenshin was beginning to like this situation. He could mock her shamelessly unless she wanted to get her car back in working order she couldn't do anything about it. It was the ultimate pay back. In truth he didn't really hate the Kamiya girl. She was intriguing to him. He was beginning to like taunting her and seeing how far she'd go before she blew up. Being a person of ignored dignity he called it persuasive tactics rather than blackmail.
"We'll discuss the teams of this agreement at a later date Tanuki" he smirked knowing this irked her. "Until then."
Kaoru's plastered smile was beginig to unravel She was grinding her teeth and glaring at the surfer as he left. When he was out of earshot Kaoru began ranting however, to Kenshin's keen sense of hearing he heard every word and laughed his head of while getting back to work on a Mercedes in the shop.
On her walk home from the mechanics Kaoru saw Megumi and company by the fourth avenue café. She called Megumi and ran up to greet her.
"I can't believe you missed the end of the movie!" Tae screeched. "It was so awesome!" Now all of the girls were talking about it.
"Come on guys you have to tell me what happened. It's not like I planned to leave! Sanosuke totaled my car!" "Now I've got this idiot surfer boy who's going to charge me extra over a tiny disagreement and I missed the ending of Troy." Kaoru managed in one breath.
"You poor thing" Tsubame sympathized being the polite person that she is.
While talking about the movie the conversation between Kaoru and Tsubame came up. "So Tsubame thought Brad Pitt was hot to huh" Megumi mused. "Poor Yahiko won't stand a chance then." Megumi joked as everyone laughed.
"Come on guys. Knock it off. I mean is there anyone who doesn't." Kaoru stuck up for Tsubame.
"O, My God? Kaoru you thought he was hot? The anti-boy liking someone? This is an interesting development." Megumi teased further.
"Megumi, I'm not gay" Kaoru replied.
"I know, but I always figured that you'd grow up to be an old maid living at home with eleven cats."
"Ouch" Tae commented. "Guys he's old and he's married forget it."
"Not everyone is obsessed with Orlando Bloom like you Tae." Yumi stated walking back from getting a cappuccino from the café. She sat herself next to Kamatari whom was stuffing her face with food to busy to talk.
It was already fairly dark and so the group split up to go home. Yumi, Kamatari, Tae and Tsubame lived on a street opposite from Megumi and Kaoru's so they waved goodbye went their separate ways. While crossing the street Kaoru remembered that she had forgotten her hat at the café.
"Megumi, you go on a head I'll catch up to you. I'm just going to get something I left behind." Kaoru called from over her shoulder as she raced back towards the shop.
She found what she was looking for underneath the table she had been sitting at. She grabbed her cap and headed home. The streets were dark and the only light that came was from the occasional street lamps. The streets seemed deserted and eerie and the raven-haired girl could feel the mellow breeze as it blew by.
From one of the underlit ally ways a voice came menacingly. "Hey, what's a little girl doing out at this time of night?"
Kaoru turned towards the voice. "Show yourself," she demanded confidently.
"Its dangerous there's thugs and gangs around here." She could see the bottom of his coat in the dim light of the street lamps. Then she saw that there was more than one. The man stepped into the light at last. His face covered in a scraggly beard and he had scars all over his body. Dressed all in black except for a tan trench coat he stood at least six feet tall.
"Leave me alone" Kaoru spoke quietly and calmly. "
"Now, don't be so impulsive babe you might change you mind and want some company." He laughed. "I can be quite lonely walking alone" the man took another step closer "Can we escort you somewhere like a bus stop, your house, or maybe a hotel room?"
"Piss off" she muttered her patience running dry.
"Were only trying to be friendly. I'm sure once you get to know us you'd love to spend the night." The man took another step closer as did the rest of the group.
"I don't have any money." Kaoru stated.
"I guess you'll have to offer us something else hon." The man replied.
Kaoru had just about enough of this. As soon as the man got range she crouched low and aimed a kick at his legs. He fell forwards ripping Kaoru's sports coat showing a tank top underneath. The other men in the group licked their lips after seeing the freshly exposed skin.
The first of them attacked her aiming to tackle to the ground. She swerved to the side and pushed him to the floor. Then continued to knock him unconscious.
Soon after another man grabbed her from behind. She could feel his grimy hands on her body and felt sick. She elbowed him hard in the stomach. When he let go she punched him squarely in the jaw.
There were around four more men. Two of which brought out a knife. They ran after her trying to slice her. 'Who do these guys think they are' Kaoru thought bringing her fist up in defense.
The two with the knives attacked first. The first aimed at her head and she ducked. The knife clipped some of her hair. She dropkicked the second who came from the side. The first man swung the knife at her again cutting her upper arm. Kaoru angered then punched him in the face.
Another attacker came at her but was soon knocked aside. She managed to knock the knife out of one man's hand and boxed his ears breaking his eardrums. She knew he wouldn't be able to keep his balance after that.
However, she didn't see the other man who was lying on the ground. He picked up one of the knives and drove it into her calf. She screamed in pain as the blood flowed out of her wound dying her socks and shoes red. She kicked the man in the head with her good foot and he cried in pain.
She reached down and pulled the knife from her leg giving a cry of pain. He had punctured into her mussel and it was now bleeding profusely.
She looked up from the wound when she saw a set of feet in her view. She looked up into a barrel of a gun, which was held by the man in the trench coat. "Not gonna kick me with that injury are ya sweet heart." He snickered his mouth twisting into a vicious snarl.
That's it for now but I hope you'll read on to find out what happens next. I promise to update soon. –Leiko
