Notee: I am sorry for taking at least 10 eternities on this fanfiction, I love yah still for everything, so plz accept the apology readers. Love Fhb

"Kaoru" the whisper faded in her ear as all she saw was death coming at her in one silver moment…

'Tomorrow I wanted to die knowing I saved you today, but fate says no, and I accept the truth unwaveringly…'

But it is funny how people thought things, and contorted their eyes to see. Fate really didn't chose to make people end their lives, or the principle backward, it just has a way of making it seem so, but you know what they, don't judge a book by its cover, and that's exactly what our lil Kao did.

Okita menacingly leered on as the blade had found it's newest target. Kamiya's heart. All the better Okita thought, but time would allow things to happen, and one of those things, was Himura.

Kenshin in quick thinking and speed, slam the blade with his foot into the earth. The parch soil flying in their faces. The dust and rumble settle shortly, leaving everyone to view a fainted Kaoru. Everyone thought wrong, they thought she was dead, no one saw when Himura moved as fast as a God. Eric worried, and in slow dread felt her pulse with trembling fingers. Touching the soft of her neck, he felt a throbbing.

"She's alive…" the words were stolen right out his mouth from none other than Kenshin. He picked the blade up and flung it at Okita's feet.

"Don't be an ass Okita" he warned and with that left…

Eric looked up at Kenshin in shock. By all chance, the boy didn't know if he liked or disliked Kenshin. He was officially a hero, yet he walked away with an identity of a lone shadow. 'Do you feel the way that I do?' Eric didn't know. From the looks of it, Himura never spoke to him and he wasn't much of the hey bud beasts, regardless if he kept a low profile, one in which failed miserably. If now Kaoru was to fall in love with Kenshin, Eric would not mind…'but why then does my heart tell me wrong. Why does it always go back to her, cry and need reassurance from no other face than hers. I was never a selfish boy, I was beaten of my dignity, choices and humanity, but I can learn to be selfish in my now official primal urges and wants. If she is all that mantles my sanity and allow a tattered soul of unmelodic life to live, than I must preserve her…and somehow reach to her…stronger than what I already am…I must, I will…I SHALL!'

After a few minutes of being down, Kaoru finally awoke from her dreary nap. Her head hurt and she smelt horrible. Trying to get up, she felt a shot of fire rip through her head. She rubbed her temples for relief but it really didn't do a fart. Swearing just so lightly under her breath she didn't seem to hear the silent opening of the door.

'What the heck am I doing in sick bay? --' Almost immediately it came back to her, "now I remember, that stupid freak Okita…wait until I get my hands on him…" she whispered angrily.

"Hey…save that for another day" a soft voice spoke…

Kaoru looked up and saw it was Eric…

"Hey stranger" she whispered gently

"Oh so now I'm a stranger?" he asked in a tone of joke…

She arched brow. This was odd. Never in all there meetings had he been so informal. He usually was a lower speaker box to her, and if secondary speaking was a sort of language, she'd classify him that way.

"No no…I was you know… (she gets the look) you know----just, um---well you know. Joking around…" she weakly smiled and quickly began biting her bottom lip.

'Man do I hate this habit'

"Kaoru…" he started in a low tone. His voice wasn't very encouraging, it lack vibrancy and character; but then so did his whole personality need this courage which he lacked sorrowfully. She saw the sad colour in his eyes which showed so much blunt and raw sadness. His empathy was the widest coloring book she ever saw. She didn't know what to do…

"Hey…" she whispered softly in an encouraging voice…

A tear fell from his eyes…

"C-can I ask you a question?" his voice was very shallow. Almost as weak as a dying whisper…

"Sure thing" she returned the whisper tone

"W-Why did you become my friend?" he took off his glasses and wiped his eyes. Then collecting himself he looked her straight in the eyes. He never envisioned himself being forward or rude with her, but sometimes issues needed to be discussed.

"You think I get you into too much trouble, don't you?" she dryly asked avoiding his question…

"Trust me that was the least of my fears…I get that all the time, so what's the matter if I get it now? Hmm---and besides, I would never think that you're the cause for my ---physical appearance and so called 'issues'." he paused seeing her bite her lip some more…

"No---but Kaoru, why…why did you ever become my friend---?" he looked deeply into her eyes, forcing her to feel dizzy all of a sudden. She couldn't turn away even if she tried, his stare was just so intense, burning and lasering on her, in her…

"Because…it hurts me" she whispered

"Hurts you?" he arched a quizzical brow…

"It hurts me to know, you wanna have somebody there for you, and shit, you don't. I don't pity you so don't get me wrong, I just happen to remember when I first came into this school it was after a year and half I had friends. Good friends, I know what it's like to be lonely and have no one, so I thought---hey, you'd like a friend too" she weakly smiled…

"Oh…" came that trailed away reply…

"Kaoru" came his sad voice again…

"Yeah Eric?"

"If I were too die…what would you tell me before I did?" his eyes brimming in tears…

"Eric?"

"I feel it Kaoru…I'm gonna lose my life real soon---mainly because I'm weak and I can't fight. But what does the sick students of this school know? They can't see what I hide, what I preserve---no---all they see is Eric---that weak, ugly pathetic piece of good for nothing---but yeh…one day Kaoru…before I die…I will make them all suffe" his tone had been mean and aggressive. Kaoru was just scared looking at the expression on his face, so murderous and vehement. Placing a finger on his lips, he jumped. His eyes were wide of shock from her action, then he saw the fear and innocence…and tears…

He hurt her…why did he have to hurt her…at least anybody but her…

Clutching on to her finger, he held her hand and bowed his head against her knuckles…

"W-Why Kaoru am I so w-weak?" he cried…

"Miss Kaoru and Mister Okita, you both will be suspended for at least one week. This is a probation to you Okita, if you cause any more trouble and disruption in school or in school time, I swear in all the power of being a principal, I will expel you. And Ms. Kamiya I am very disappointed in you, we use to look up at you so that the little ones could look at you as a role model, but now, you're just as bad as Machimache and that Sagara-boy. You both have been warned seriously…you both may leave…"

Kaoru walked out the compound with a low and moody expression on her face. Passing a hand through her head she walked to the swings of the school. She sat there so alone and frustrated of school, English mostly, Maxine, how rough her friendship with Eric was becoming and now this, her newest dilemma --being suspended. There was no way now her mother would leave her on her own ---but the business trip--- her mom worked so hard for her new job, and now 'I have to come and just shit things up---this is one sucked up day' she sighed deeply and covered her face…

Kaoru sat on the swing for some two minutes waiting for her mom. She never came…but she waited. The rain caught the sapphire girl and all Kaoru would do was swing gently waiting with a broken expression. After all her swinging she stopped and bowed her head in defeat. She sneezed and wiped her nose. Sniffing lightly, she didn't seem to care, and all the while a teacher watched the young girl's uniform expression from her window. The teacher sighed to herself 'I have to do something, the poor thing will catch a cold'.

Gathering her jacket and umbrella she went out to the young girl…

Each time she came closer her hells would go swish into the mud. 'My 200 dollar shoes are ruin---ah but what the heck…'

"Hey kido…" came a smooth voice to the young girl's ears. Her wet hair framed her pale face which lost all it's life and internal beauty. She was so silent and tamed, that nature itself could not be as frail as her. She was truly ruined, but why…?

Kaoru cast her head back down…not even bothering to answer her teacher…

"That's kinna a mean" spoke the teacher flatly…

"Expect that from a delinquent" came that cold reply…

"Kaoru? Are you alright?" the teacher was curious…

"S-sure I-I'm totally a-okay…" she lied…

"Listen Kaoru…I don't know what happened, but I'm always willing to listen" the teacher pointed out…

"Joy…"

"Young lady, when I speak to you--I expect you to listen or respond. This is not the Kaoru I know…" she trailed off

"Yeah well guess what, she isn't here right now so just leave me alone…just get away from me…" she hid her face…

The teacher's heart broke. Sighing lightly, she called the child's name smoothly…

"Kaoru…" she went forward to touch her shoulder…

But the girl only snapped at the contact…

"Kamiya Kaoru…look at me" the teacher commanded…

Kaoru frowned, yet she complied because she was never a bad girl, even if she tried.

She looked at the teacher, her eyes so hurtful and prosaic…

"I'm here Kaoru, so tell me, what happened…" and with that the teacher gave the young girl her jacket and they both walked back in the school building. They sat there for some two minutes talking, and the teacher would only mutter some conventional oh's and hmm's.

"And that's the story of the delinquent…" she laughed to herself, the sadness empowering the humor.

"You're not a delinquent Kaoru…" she paused speaking flatly, "you're one the smartest young girl's I've seen, and what you did, was wrong, yeah, but hey, we all make mistakes, and I've written some too…" she smiled seeing the young girl smirk;

"You mean you fought too?" she asked

"Hell yeh! I wrote some bad episodes too…but ahh--I learned and grew from those sorta things…and sweetheart, as much as life seems sucked up, it has real wonderful things to it, and that's the sorta things you gotta hold on too, not the negativity and pessimism, but the joy and wonder…ain't that a good reason to be a fighter---- a survivor?" she asked

Kaoru nodded…her head still low in defeat and somewhat damaged ego.

"What Kaoru---why the look?" she asked

"I can't get suspended Ms. Anagi…please, help me get out of this…if my mother found out I fought, she'll flip. She's been looking forward to this new job over-seas, and now it seems she won't get to go, because I ruined it all. Please help me, you're a teacher you have say…" she spoke

"I'm sorry Kaoru, I can't interfere with what was assigned to you."

"Please Ms. Anagi, if it's one time I really need your help it's now. I don't wanna hear any protesting from you-----so just please shhh----help me…I'm begging…" those pleading eyes…and sincerity…

"Alright Kaoru, you talked me into it. I'll see what I can do…"

"Yeah and if that doesn't work, flash some leg girlfriend" Kaoru laughed.

The teacher watched Kaoru in a I-don't-believe-you but she had to laugh…

"Yeah sure thing Kaoru…" and with that Kaoru hugged the teacher and walked out her office.

"You're the best Ms. Anagi"

Kaoru smiled seeing that today wasn't completely bad, it was alright, still sucky, but alright. Not minding her business, or watching where she was walking she hit something quite sturdy and broad. She fell back flat on her buttocks.

"Heyyyy" came her angry reply but soon the word died when she looked on at the young man in front of her.

"Oh…I'm sorry miss…" he lent her a hand and helped her up. Kaoru was stupefied.

He wore silver blonde locks which simply defied gravity then there was his aqua-turquoise eyes which often were accommodated by silver flashes levitating his awesome hair. He wore a military black outfit which was trimmed in gold buttons and treading. His lips were thick and deep pink. His neat circular shades made his identity just burn on fire. He was the most handsome guy she ever saw. She was total awe struck by all his features. His masculine perfume intoxicated her soul and his sturdy shoulders made him look like any hunk.

The boy realized the girl was totally numb, she wore the goofiest grin but what kept him there and present to stay was her amazing eyes. It was the first time he ever saw colored eyes in a Japanese girl. Never had he seen such an intricate blue which burst so much heavenly blue and supernova comparisons.

"Konnichiwa…" he snapped his fingers in her face…

She jumped and then blinked back, "s-sorry…what did you say your name was…?" she bit her lips and for the first time after so long of protesting he didn't want to come to a public school, he reconsidered. The way she bit her lips was actually the cutest thing he saw, and if he just gotten close enough, he wouldn't mind biting them himself.

"My name is Yukishon Enishi" he aware

"As in the Korean General's son?" she completely freaked out…

"I see you know your history…" he arched a brow…

"Of course I do…oh migosh, what are you doing here---and firstly, where the heck are your bodyguards?" she looked around seeing them no where…

"As if you can't tell, I'm lost" he gave a pathetic look…

Kaoru giggled. Her laughter the sweetest music to his ears…

"By the way miss, what's your name---I didn't quite catch it?" he asked

"Oh how rude of me, I'm Kamiya Kaoru, and please to meet you Enishi" she smiled

"The pleasure is all mine…" and indeed it was…

"Um, do you need help finding your way back Enishi?" she asked

"Um, actually I could use your help most definitely, by chance, where is the principal's office?" he asked

She shrugged at the word 'principal' and he was affirmed she was a hot mouth…

"Straight down the hall…" she pointed off…

"Thank you Kaoru…well I better be going….good bye" he bade…

"Yeah--buh-bye" she waved and they both went their separate ways…

Enishi seeing and feeling her forlorn expression turned to see her head bowed in defeat.

"Kaoru…" he called

She snapped around and looked at him, "yeah?"

"Could we like hang?" he asked

She ran up to him and held him by his shoulders…

"As in hang. With me? The general's son of Korea and the bad girl me?" she asked

"Bad girl?" he asked

"It's a long story" she paused seeing him giving a inquiring stare…

"I fought---got into trouble---but I did it for a good reason…but I'm not really bad…" she explained…

"Ah…I see" she saw the expression on his face which said boldly 'girl--what you doing next to me'

"I'll be going…" she sadly whispered and began walking away.

He held her shoulder, "hey, I'm no uptight loser, heck no. Don't worry Kaoru, I definitely wanna hang with you, regardless what you did, and besides even you said it, you're a not bad…and funny---I believe yah----. Am I sounding weird? Goofy?" he asked

She giggled, "no…not at all…well I'll see you around aye Enny?" she shortened his name

"Yeah, same thing…Kao" she smiled cutely…

"Bye…"

"Bye…"

"Bye"

"Bye"

They walked backwards giving each other bye…until they could see no more of the next…

"BYEEEEEEE" Kaoru shouted…

"BYEEE KAORU" he shouted back…

And with that she giggled…
