i don't own rk
Kaoru's alarm clock buzzed two hours before school started. She arose from her bed and shut off her clock.
She rubbed her eyes getting used to the sunlight that shone through her window. As she blinked a few times she suddenly realized that she was in her new apartment. A smile was on her face.
She put on her slippers and walked into Yahiko's room. She knocked on his door lightly.
"Yahiko? Are you awake?"Kaoru asked.
"Yeah"Yahiko said glumly it seemed to Kaoru that he had just woken up. Kaoru walked into the kitchen and decided to try and cook a good breakfast for Yahiko.
Usually she would have pre-cooked food since Kaoru didn't know how to cook.
She grabbed the pan and placed it on the stove setting the dial. She grabbed some eggs and cracked them placing the yolk in the pan. Unfortunatly Kaoru set the dial to high.
Not noticing her problem she decided to take a shower so the eggs would be ready after she was done.
When she grabbed her clothes and towel she headed into the bathroom.
After a ten minute shower Kaoru was dressed in her school uniform and walked out of the bathroom. Kaoru noticed some smoke floating around the kitchen and it smelled like somthing was burning.
In the kitchen she could see that the stove caught a small fire. Kaoru screamed and ran to the stove.
Yahiko heard her scream and ran out of his room and noticed her trying to put out the small fire that was on the stove. Yahiko ran to Kaoru and helped her out.
Downstairs, Kenshin heard a girl scream, it sounded like fear to him. As curious as he was he went up stairs and heard things drop.
He knocked on the door and waited for someone to open it. When he heard the girl scream again he pushed the door open and went in.
He could barely see anything because smoke filled the apartment. When he spotted the fire he grabbed the vase that was in the living room and filled it up with water in the bathroom.
When the vase was full he ran into the kitchen and splashed the stove with the water. The fire was out.
Kaoru noticed a person come into her apartment and took out the fire. As the smoke cleared up she heard someone speak.
"Are you alright miss?"he asked. The voice sounded so familiar to Kaoru. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the person behind the smoke.
When the smoke dissolved Kaoru noticed red hair and lavendar eyes.
"K-k-Kenshin!"Kaoru said shockingly.
"K-K-Kaoru-dono?"Kenshin asked also bewildered.
"What are you doing here?"Kaoru asked.
"The same for you"he said.
"I live here"she replied. Kenshin looked dumbfounded.
"You do?"he asked. Kaoru nodded,"I do too...I live on the second floor"he added. Kaoru's eyes widened.
Oh my god! This is strange! Kaoru thought.
"Whoa! Kenshin lived in the complex also! This is awesome!"Yahiko said loudly. Kaoru smiled too. She was glad that Kenshin lived nearby.
Kenshin looked around the apartment. He noticed the furniture.
"So..ahh you bought new furniture?"Kenshin asked.
"Iie. There Misao's old furniture, she let me have them"Kaoru said. Kaoru soon frowned and looked at the stove. The pan was burnt, but the stove was fine. She cursed under her breath.
I can't cook to save my life! she said sadly. Kenshin looked to Kaoru's direction and noticed the burnt to a crisp eggs. He chuckled.
Well someone isn't pretty smart with cooking..he thought.
"Here I'll cook for you 'cause it seems you're having some trouble with it"Kenshin said sweetly. Kaoru just looked at him and blushed.
"No thats ok...I'll just grab something to eat on my way out"Kaoru said. Kenshin refused though.
"No...I'll make you and Yahiko a good meal"Kenshin said grabbing out another pan. Kaoru just looked at him, but then noticed that her hair was still wet.
"Alright Kenshin, I'll be right back then"Kaoru said walking to the bathroom to dry her hair.
After she finished drying it and putting it up in a ponytail she walked into the dining room and noticed Yahiko at the table munching on his breakfast.
"Jeez Kenshin! Your cooking rocks!"muffled Yahiko as he had food in his mouth. Kaoru walked in and noticed her plate at the table.
"Dig in Kaoru-dono"Kenshin said. Kaoru smiled and sat down at the table. She took a bite of the food and paused. Kenshin looked a bit confused,"Is there something wrong with it Kaoru-dono?"Kenshin asked.
"Iie. I just don't like it when people cook better than me"Kaoru replied taking another bite of the food.
"ORO?"
Kaoru grabbed her bookbag and headed out the door with Kenshin since they were going to the same school they decided to walk together.
"Arigato Kenshin for walked with me to school"Kaoru said as she and Kenshin were walking.
"No problem Kaoru-dono"Kenshin said sweetly. Kaoru wrinkled her nose a bit. The 'dono' was getting oddly annoying to her.
The two had decided to walk down an alley since it was the fastest way. As they were walking Kenshin noticed something didn't feel right.
He stopped dead in his tracks and looked around him. Kaoru had stopped also and looked to Kenshin.
"Whats wrong Kenshin?"Kaoru asked. Suddenly Kenshin noticed a sudden presence that ran toward Kaoru.
"Kaoru-dono!"Kenshin yelled. Kaoru looked around her and out of nowhere someone had grabbed her. It was Shishio.
He had Kaoru infront of her with a dagger pressed lightly on her neck.
"Don't worry Kamiya, I'm only here to tell you the truth of Himura"Shishio said. Kaoru's widened and wimped in fear.
"Let her go Shishio"Kenshin said taking a few steps forward.
"Don't even come close"Shishio said pressing the dagger against her neck. Kaoru wimpered again. Kenshin stood there, he couldn't do anything.
A tear came down Kaoru's cheek. Shishio chuckled,"Don't be afraid of me Kamiya, I would be more scared of Himura then me if I were you"Shishio said.
"W-what?"she said in fear. Shishio smiled.
"Oh looks like your boyfriend didn't tell you"Shishio said. Kenshin just stood there in shock. Kaoru just closed her eyes tightly confused of what Shishio was telling her,"Didn't he ever tell you how his parents died?"Shishio asked.
"Shishio!"Kenshin yelled, but he didn't move as he was afraid for Kaoru's life.
"Himura, who you claim to be the sweetest guy ever, but he hasn't told you his past"Shishio said to Kaoru. Kaoru just looked stunned.
What? What did Kenshin do? Kaoru thought to herself.
"Himura killed his parents"Shishio said to Kaoru. Kaoru didn't believe what he was saying...that couldn't be true at all,"But i'll let Himura tell you himself"Shishio said letting go of Kaoru.
Kenshin ran to Shishio ready to attack him, but Shishio suddenly disapeared. Kenshin stopped in his tracks and noticed that Shishio was gone.
He went over to Kaoru who layed on the ground.
"Are you ok Kaoru-dono?"Kenshin asked worriedly. Kaoru coughed grasping her neck.
"Yes, I'm fine"she said softly. Kenshin helped her sit up,"What was Shishio talking about Kenshin?"Kaoru asked. She was so confused. Kenshin lowered his head which his bangs covered his eyes.
"He was right"Kenshin began. Kaoru just looked at Kenshin,"I was only eight at the time though"
"Kenshin..."Kaoru said softly.
"It was a rainy summers evening, my parents worked for Shishio I never knew what they worked for. Shishio came to my parents house to talk about buisness he claimed, suddenly the lights went out and I heard my mother scream. I ran in the living room and could barely see anything I saw someone attack my mother or so I thought it was. I ran to the person to try and stop him, but he hit me across my cheek twice making this x-shaped scar I had. I suddenly remembered that my parents kept a gun under their bed just incase if something happens. I ran to the bedroom and grabbed out the gun. I then dashed into the living room and pulled the trigger on the attacker. I felt angry that someone was attacking my mother so I shot him more than twice. I then dropped the gun and ran to my mother, she was covered with the man I shot. I pushed the man out of the way and saw my mother was dead. The shots I pulled went right through the man into my mother. Suddenly the lights were back on. Infront of me was my mother...and the attacker who was my father, layed there dead with blood everywhere. I soon noticed Shishio behind me and so I turned around. He smiled at me and said,'thanks for doing the job for me kid' and walked out. I still to this day have so many questions. Why did my dad attack my mom? What did Shishio mean of what he said to me? My past is confusing and stained with blood"Kenshin ended his story and tightened his fists while tears came down.
He expected Kaoru to run away, but she stayed beside him. She wrapped her arms around Kenshin and comforted him.
"You must think I'm a murderer now..."Kenshin said softly to Kaoru. Kaoru shook her head and moved his bangs away from his handsome face.
"No...I'm not. That was then and this is now. That was the past and it wasn't your fault anyway"Kaoru said softly facing Kenshin. Kenshin looked wide eyed to Kaoru.
