"Man what a day"said Kenshin walking home. His hands were behind is head and he was looking at the sky. He was so tired today for some reason.
After a 15 minute walk he was finally home.
He walked up the stairs to his apartment, unlocked the door and went in. Kenshin had a nice little apartment. Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room all that stuff. It had some nice furniture that he had bought with his parents money and it was always clean.
He liked cleaning it was very relaxing to him especially laundry. He dropped his black leather book bag near the door and jumped onto his couch. He just sat there not doing anything.
Since there was nothing to do he decided to read something from off his book shelf. He got up and walked towards the shelf. He wasn't interested in any of them. He looked down at the bottom shelf where he had to kneel down and noticed one he had never seen.
He took the book from out of the shelf and wiped the dust off of it. It was a journal of some sort. He turned a page and read the first sentence. His eyes widened.
Mother...
"What do you want with my daughter?"asked Kamiya-san. He didn't like the looks of this.
"Your daughter went to a new school I see, Sakura High School? Am I right?"asked Shishio.
Kamiya-san nodded.
"One of the workers from D.R.G has a cousin that goes to that school, I want your daughter to kill that cousin"said Shishio.
"My daughter will not be a part of that"said Kamiya-san.
"Oh really?"said Shishio. He grabbed Kaoru's arm and pointed a gun to her head,"If Kaoru doesn't do her duty then I'll see to it that shes dies along with her little brother too"said Shishio looking at Yahiko.
Kamiya-san pulled Yahiko behind him.
"You will do no such thing!"said Kamiya-san. Anger swelled up in his heart. He couldn't stand to lose the rest of his family.
"Oh but I will. Do you wish to lose the rest of your family?"said Shishio tightening his grip on Kaoru. He pushed the gun closer to her head. Tears were swelling up in Kaoru's eyes.
Kamiya-san stood there. He had no choice.
Knowing that Shishio won the argument he let go of Kaoru.
"Good choice Kamiya-san, I'm glad you see it my way"said Shishio. He handed her the gun and gave her a picture of the one she was supposed to kill. She looked at the picture, frozen in her place. Myame! I have to kill Myame!
That night Kaoru couldn't sleep she looked at the picture of Myame. She started to cry. This isn't fair! Why did this have to happen to us!thought Kaoru over and over again.
Suddenly she heard the shoji door slide open. She wiped away her tears and turned around to see Yahiko. She could see that his cheeks were stained from fresh tears. She motioned Yahiko to sit next to her. He did so.
"Are you ok?"she asked. Yahiko just looked at her. Silence was heard. They could only hear the soft wind blowing making tree branches sway back and fourth hearing the leaves brushing up against one another. Yahiko finally whispered,
"Are you going to do it?"he asked. Kaoru couldn't control herself. She put her arms around her brother and started crying. Yahiko rested his head on her shoulder. She could feel his warm tears rest on her robe.
"I-...I don't know"she replied.
Last night was hectic for Kaoru. She barely got any sleep. She kept thinking of the words Shishio said to her before she went to school.
"You will kill Myame Tokugawa after school, and if you don't I'll kill her and you along with your brother"
The sound of his voice made her heart stop. In every expression in his voice, she could hear death.
She was ten minutes early and decided to go study a bit at the school library. She opened the door expecting no one to be in there, but she could see someone in a distance.
Fiery red hair was all she could see. Kenshin...?she said to herself. She walked up to the person and noticed it was Kenshin. Kenshin looked up with one of his sweet smiles.
"You're here early"said Kenshin. He was expecting to studder, but he didn't again. There was something about her that was different from the rest of the girls. He became comfortable with her around.
"You too"said Kaoru. She knitted her fingers together infront of her,"What are you reading?"she said.
"Uhh I'm just reading...a journal"replied Kenshin. Kaoru looked at it. It didn't look like it was his, it had roses printed on the paper.
"Oh...it doesn't look like yours? Whos is it?"she asked again. Kenshin paused then looked at her.
"Its my mothers"he said.
Why would he be reading his mothers journal? Wouldn't she notice that he took it? thought Kaoru not knowing that Kenshin's mother was dead.
"You're mother won't be too happy about it, if she finds you reading her journal"she said. Kenshin just sat there. I guess she doesn't understand.
"My mother is-...well she passed away some time ago"said Kenshin, his voice was low. Kaoru didn't say anything, she knew what it was like. Him too...she thought.
Kaoru grabbed a chair nearby and sat next to him. Kenshin turned to Kaoru. Her bangs were covering her eyes. He was wondering why she was upset all of a sudden.
"I...know what its like...to lose a mother"said Kaoru, her head was still low,"My mother...was murdered"she said. Kenshin looked at her. She had suffered the same fate as he,"I couldn't believe that it had happened. It felt like my heart had stopped"she continued,"My whole world felt like it broke into pieces, as so with my heart, It felt like it was my fault...I wasn't there to comfort her..."Kaoru didn't go on she fought back tears.
Kenshin lifted her chin and he looked up at her.
"It was never your fault. I thought that too, but I knew that it really wasn't"said Kenshin. Kaoru didn't say anything. She pulled strands of her hair behind her ear looking at the journal.
The bell rang for first period. The two looked at eachother and smiled faintly at eachother. They both got up.
"English?"asked Kenshin. Kaoru nodded,"Same here...I'll walk with you"said Kenshin. Kaoru smiled and they both walked together, side by side, to class.
At lunch, Misou, Keiko, Chihiro, and Myame again sat with Kaoru. The five became very good friends already.
"Hey Kaoru-san, whats wrong? You look really tired"said Chihiro.
Kaoru looked up and found all of her friends looking at her oddly.
"I'm fine, I'm just tired from staying up so late"said Kaoru quickly. She was still thinking about the deed she was supposed to do. She knew she couldn't do that, not to her friend.
School was over and Kaoru stayed. What was she going to do? She decided to turn back.
She opened the door, but then froze seeing Shishio leaning against the school. Hes here to make sure...thought Kaoru.
She gulped and rushed back inside. She looked at her watch.
"One hour to go"she said to herself.
"One hour 'till what?"asked someone behind her. Kaoru spun around very quickly startled by the voice. It was Kenshin.
"Uhh...umm...until Myame is finished with Volleyball"said Kaoru,"I'm waiting for her to come out"she said.
"Oh"said Kenshin. Kaoru sighed in relief.
"Wait...why are you here?"she asked.
"Detention"stated Kenshin. He scuffed his toe against the floor.
"Why?"she asked.
"I dropped some chemicals in science when I wasn't supposed to handle it"said Kenshin,"But it wasn't my fault, I didn't know, Sanosuke said I was allowed to handle it"he added.
"Sanosuke?"she asked.
"Hes my best friend, hes in some of your classes"said Kenshin. Kaoru shrugged. She didn't feel like talking, Myame was all she could think about.
Kenshin could see that she wasn't interested in talking anymore she looked kind of upset.
"Are you ok?"he asked. Kaoru looked up at Kenshin. She saw the expression on his face, filled with worry. Kaoru nodded.
"Umm well I better get going"she said walking away from Kenshin. He waved and headed back to detention.
Myame-san should be coming out of Archery right now..said Kaoru looking at her watch.
She held her backpack tightly to her chest. She could feel the gun inside her bookbag pressing against her stomach.
Suddenly the door to the gym opened, and out came Myame, her hand was clanging onto the strap of her bookbag. Myame looked from the cornor of her eye and spotted Kaoru. She stopped and faced her.
"Hey Kaoru-san. What are you doing here?"she asked.
"I wanted to talk to you about something"said Kaoru standing up.
"Oh ok"said Myame. Kaoru leaded Myame down the hall into a classroom where no one see find them.
As they walked Kaoru spotted, Shishio and some of his partners in a dark cornor she could see the guns in their hands. Luckily, Myame didn't see them. Shishio gave a smirk to Kaoru. Kaoru turned her head quickly.
"What do you want to talk about?"asked Myame as Kaoru closed the door behind her.
Am I really going to do this...?thought Kaoru. She couldn't, not ever.
Kenshin walked out of the detention room. He was so stiff from sitting at a desk doing nothing for an hour! He just couldn't wait to get home. Kenshin turned a cornor and noticed a guy holding something to his side running up the stairs.
Kenshin backed up against the wall and spied on them suspicious of what they were doing.
They don't look like students around here. and I've never seen any teachers like them before thought Kenshin.
He could see that they were aiming something at a classroom door. Kenshin squinched his eyes and could barely make it out.
A gun?...
Inside the classroom Kaoru couldn't find the words. She wasn't going to kill her, but then it would cost her life too along with Yahiko.
"Kaoru-san are you ok?"asked Myame. Kaoru's knees were wobbly she could barely stand.
"Y-yes. What I wanted to talk with you was..."Kaoru paused for a few moments,"If you could let me borrow your text book for math, mine has a few rips in it"she said quickly.
"Sure Kaoru-san,"said Myame taking her book out of her book bag. Kaoru took the book and put it in her bookbag, knees still wobbly. Oh my god! What have I done? Shishio will kill Yahiko and I! Kaoru could feel tears forming. She didn't look at Myame. She pulled her bookbag onto her shoulders and ran out of the room.
"Kaoru-san!"called out Myame.
Kenshin noticed the door open. He could see that Kaoru was running out the door. He looked up and saw one guy point to Kaoru and made a signal for them to shoot.
Kenshin ran up to Kaoru as she power walked her way to the front doubledoors.
"Kaoru!"yelled out Kenshin.
Shooting was heard and everything was silent...
AC: OMG! I finished finally! Arigato(thank you) for the reviews! and I did recieve a question of why Shishio used the Kamiya's to kill members of D.R.G.(Drug Ring Gang, sorry I couldn't think of a name lol) Umm in the second chapter I wrote that he used them to kill the members because he didn't want the group to get suspicious of his whereabouts, and plus Shishio only wants Kamiya-san to do it, why did Shishou want Kaoru to kill this time...find out in the next chapter(sorry about that too I couldn't think of any explanation for the reason of why Shishio uses Kamiya-san to kill or do any of his little deeds, but suggestions are welcome!) Well arigato again for the reviews and write a review for every chapter please!(sorry if the AC is too long)
