Chapter Seven

Kaoru's POV

Enishi approached us angrily. His facial expressions held fury-I was almost afraid. I felt that uncomforting feeling wash over me like all of the times before…whenever I was with him.

He turned to Kenshin, glaring with hateful eyes that pierced through his sunglasses. "Why did you hurt my sister that way?" he seethed through his teeth.

I suddenly felt a hand press against my back. That hand pulled me in, and I soon found myself against Kenshin's chest. My hands naturally pressed onto his shoulder blades. I looked at Kenshin, trying to explore his facial expressions. He was glaring at Enishi, ignoring me by not responding to my face. Kenshin's eyes were narrowed to furious slits, and his frown was small, yet intimidating.

I was almost afraid of him too.

Yet, I trusted him. So I stood beside him and listened to their conversation; despite my want to leave.

"What are you talking about? Enishi, I didn't hurt Tomoe-"

"Shut up," Enishi stopped Kenshin's ranting with a dangerous tone.

I felt so much out of place; I cringed. I did not know who to side with…but much of my mind leaned towards Kenshin. But not wanting to start trouble, I just held on to Kenshin's shirt and stayed quiet; even trying to hush my breathing.

There was an awkward silence. Kenshin obeyed Enishi by shutting his jaws, but his eyes still held a small hatred that seemed to be growing inside of him.

"You…you idiot!" Enishi spat out the word as if it were poison. "You broke up with her! Can't you see how much she loved you?" His anger was rising quickly.

"But I don't love her. I'm sorry, but I can't do everything revolving around Tomoe. I don't feel that way towards her." Kenshin said calmly, pressing me towards him even more.

"You don't deserve Tomoe. She's been crying over you for weeks now, and she hasn't been even in school because she's been moaping around for you!"

Kenshin stared at him, silent.

"I don't even see why she likes you. You don't deserve someone crying over a heartless moron like you." Enishi dropped his voice down.

"I'm sorry she feels this way, Enishi. But I can't change the way I feel. I think we would have made good friends, but nothing more."

Who was Tomoe? Enishi's sister….and Kenshin's…

Kenshin's what?

Enishi looked at me for the first time throughout the entire event. He turned his glare to me. But realizing it was me, Kaoru, who he was staring at, he softened his gaze into an apologizing way.

He roughly grabbed my arm, pulling me towards him. I let out a surprised gasp as he pulled me close to him. Enishi stared at me, a small frown forming onto his face.

"Kaoru, you can't obviously believe Himura, can you?" he whispered before leaning his head towards mine. His bleached white locks fell over his face as his lips began to brush against mine.

No way.

He had no right to steal my first kiss. I wanted to share it with Kenshin! The boy who stood before me rocked my picture of Kenshin.

I stood there, petrified at such a random event. Once he finished yelling, he began kissing?

I heard Kenshin growl inaudibly under his breath. I stole a small glance at him, and saw his fists trembling at his sides and his eyes flickering with a tiny amber color. He started to make his way towards us, his murderous glare on Enishi.

I tried to pull my hand from Enishi grip, but not able to do so, I pulled up my other hand and backhanded Enishi right across the cheek.

Enishi let out a gasp and staggered back, his hand rubbing his sore cheek. I widened my eyes as different scenarios flashed across my mind of the consequences the Kendo captain could let out on me.

He looked up angrily, his eyes piercing through my soul. Kenshin's arms came protectively around my shoulders like a shawl. Enishi stood up, regaining his standing position.

"Kaoru, would you rather listen to that lying idiot?" he hissed, staring straight at me.

"I'm sure Kenshin has a good reason," I whispered, looking at Kenshin. Kenshin was still glaring at Enishi.

"She can believe whoever she wants to." Kenshin spat out, tightening his grip on me. To me, he said more softly: "Come on, Kaoru, we have to go to school. We'll be late."

I let Kenshin drag me to school uncertainly, seeing Enishi walk angrily away. I assumed he was skipping school today.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
