Kenshin's POV

"Hey Eien. Who was that girl?" Kenshin asked his best friend beside him as they were walking together to Kenshin's black GT finally getting passed all the screaming freshman girls that had never seen Lanna yet….'Lanna…' Kenshin thought before he glared at his mustang for remembering the name.

"What girl? You mean the new one that nobody has ever seen till today?" Eien responded in a tried voice from the game.

"Yea…do you know even her name?" Kenshin asked looking over at him for any hope at all. For some reason or another, any moment he had the chance to look at her he did. And when he did, she would stare back at him with confusion in her deep ocean blue eyes. He could drown in them if he stared at her long enough. He smiled remembering a blush came across her face the first time he saw her and she stared back at him. She was hott, cute, and a little petit in the way she looked. 'I hope she'll be at the dance tonight' he thought before Eien slapped the back of his head.

"Hey I was talking to you!" Eien growled he hated it when people spaced out when he was talking to them. "I don't know a single thing about her, what part of 'new' kid do you not understand? Plus its not like you can talk to her at the party anyway, Lanna would tear her to little pieces." Eien laughed a bit remembering how Lanna was like sluty in the way she walked, talked, and everything with him, until she took it too far.

"Don't even say that name in front of me." Kenshin growled while grinding his teeth. Everything about Lanna made him sick, he never did understand why he went out with her in the first place, now he can't date a single girl without Lanna scaring them away, so she can get what she wants from him and then leave. "That bitch." Kenshin mumbled under his breath as he got inside his car with Eien on the other side.

"I know." Eien smirked, it was weird seeing Kenshin this upset at Lanna again, it was probably because of the fact that Lanna destroyed his love life after he broke it off with her. "Going to the party tonight now? Lanna's going to be there." Eien looked at him as he grinded his teeth then suddenly stopped, thanks to thinking about the reason he was going.

"It's only because that girl is going to be there." Kenshin smirked. He wasn't the normal guy just to go out with a girl that was all slut like, he wanted a real relationship, without having to worry about rejection, someone that he could spend time with for the rest of his life. Most guys just thought he was crazy and that he should be 'living it up' with the other guy's and date girls for there body's because 'you're only hott once' and 'you get to fool around with them', Kenshin was anything, but that and he didn't want to be hurt doing that. He really didn't know why this girl interested him so much. He just knew he had to meet her though.

Kikari and Rena at Mya's house, 6:00

"You look stunning!" Mya pretended to sound like a princess as she said the complement to Kikari.

Kikari twirled slowly around again looking at every inch of the dress, 'so this is what it feels like to be wearing silk…' she played with the gentle fabric with her fingers as she continued to look at the dress.

The dress, which hung just above the floor, was pure black making her sapphire eyes and her loosely braided ocean blue hair stand out. It was shaped to her body instead of hanging out, it had straps to hold it up and showed every curve her body had to offer. Mya and Rena put her dark red lipstick on with some black eyeliner and she smiled at them for the first time a true smile.

Mya and Rena were left staring at the beautiful person they had created just by throwing a dress on and a few touchups to her face, she was beautiful. "You look beautiful Kikari." Rena and Mya said in unison.

"Thanks guys" Kikari blushed, not from the complement, but from what Kenshin was going to think of her, she wanted everything to be perfect. She was going to be the person she always wanted to be

Tonight…

And just…

Tonight.

Kikari turned towards Mya and Rena and looked at there dresses. Mya had on a blood red dress and had sprinkles of sparkles everywhere on it, whoever danced with her, was going to be known for sure. She wore her emerald hair in a bun that was decorated with two Japanese chopsticks holding it together.

Rena had on a dark mid-night blue dress that was strapless, so she held to put it up ever-so-often, but she still looked pretty with her short blonde hair loose falling around her face, so she had to blow the strains away also at times.

Kikari smiled again. This was her night, the night that was going to change her life, when she was going to be the person she thought she could never be, this was the beginning of her adult life.

At the dance

"Where is she?" Kenshin looked around for the girl that took his heart at first glance. It was kind of difficult thanks to all the girls that wanted to dance with him, 'the one that won the game' he only did that last touchdown so that girl could see him. Sigh 'maybe she's not coming.' Kenshin thought to himself as pushed his way through the crowd of girls to the snack table to grab a drink. He looked to the doors one last time as he drank his punch, and almost choked and spat out the drink when he saw her in all her beauty, he's guessed everyone else did to since everything went silent for a moment staring at her before his 'peers' were all dancing and having fun again. He placed his cup down before he started to walk over to her, since her friends seemed to have abandoned her for other boy's leaving her by herself in the middle of the room looking like she was Her eyes started darting around the room, looking for someone? 'Does she have a boyfriend?' Kenshinpanicked 'she couldn't she's new, no one has ever got a boyfriend that fast…' he continued to stare at her '…but she could.' He felt a little hurt before he saw a boy approach her then it just turned into hate for him. He started to growl as he glared at him 'wait am I jealous?' Kenshin asked himself in his thoughts before he lost his train of thought as she took her hand in his and started dancing with him. 'That was supposed to be me' Kenshin growled again at him.

Kikari POV

"Go ahead guy's I can take care of myself." Kikari smiled at her friends before they walked off to find a partner for the night. She started to look around for her red-headed-hottie but with no avail. She continued to look until she saw a boy standing him front of her.

"Um…um…um…" he started stuttering, it was kind of sad, but she was enjoying it anyway. Guy's never did stutter in front of her before in just asking a question…she never let them close enough, but this was the night she was going to be her true 'nice' self instead of a bitchy lone wolf as she'd always been.

"Um…willyoudancewithme?" the boy almost said it so fast she didn't understand a single word out of his mouth, but she took his hand in his anyway by his surprise, and just because he tried, plus it would be easier to look for Kenshin that way she would have a excuse to be moving around the dance floor with a boy at her beck and call. Funny, she thought it would be easy to spot him, a crowd of girls would surround him 'the one who won the game'…she started to look around and saw the last person on earth she never wanted to see again…

Lanna

That bitch, she was looking for Kenshin too the more reason to shoot her right now. It didn't surprise her in the least when she saw her wearing, not the long prom like dress you were suppose to, but a cut up to your butt, no sleeve, showing almost your beast shirt, that was about to fall off her anorexia body. She glared for a second when she was quickly turned around in her direction.

As she was looking around trying to avoid glaring at Lanna for any longer or she might turn into flames, not like she wouldn't like that, more than she should have, but she felt that someone was staring at her very, very annoyed with the fact she was dancing, call it psychic if you want, but that's how she felt. She stared up into the boy's face for the first time to see if it was him staring at her and they suddenly stopped as he backed away a little nervous looking behind her instead of at her face. She gave him a questioning look before she looked to where his eyes were staring…

Kenshin

Kenshin wasn't staring at her for the moment, he was glaring at the boy she danced with, come on she didn't even know his name. Was he jealous now? She turned to look back at the boy she danced with, but he had seemed to run off, 'coward' she thought before she felt her cold hand taken into someone's silky warm one. She turned quickly around to find that Kenshin was, in fact, holding her hand and…

Kissing her gently on the hand…

She blushed, no one and she meant no normal guy would ever be that gentle with her. She looked down at him, blushing, as he stared into her eyes with his lavender one's, smirking? Is that what she had seen? If so it infuriated her, he was smirking at her as if she had fallen into his trap of some kind, she remembered what Mya and Rena said during the game…

Flashback

"Fine, fine, I guess, go ahead and tell me who he is" Kikari begged her friend. She looked back to Kenshin for a second, but he had already run off the field and started the game.

"Well as you know his name is Kenshin Hinoro, he is the captain of the football team and my boyfriend is the assistant to him making him the assistant captain. He's very smart valedictorian for the boy's class. He's been single for a while…he dated about ten girls, never went anywhere with them, mostly just made-out with them is as far as he would go. If ninety-nine percent of the girls got asked who they would be stranded on a island with in the middle of nowhere…it would be Kenshin, the rest are people how wouldn't pick him are with boyfriends. He's ok, but can be a really asshole to me."

"Why?"

"Because he's one of the guys who knows that he can control a girl at the snap of his fingers, if you're going to get anywhere with him you have to resist him in everything he does. Like touching, hugging, kissing-"

"No, I'm not like you and doing that all in one day!" Kikari shouted at Mya angered "he seems sweet"

"Ah-ha! Sweet he may look, but not nice is he!" Rena added in lighting the mood still looking into the crowd of football players.

Flashback ended

'Ok so now I have to refuse the dance if he asked me.' Kikari thought in her head before she smiled at him. 'He was made by angels…his body like a god, his eyes simply beautiful…ok I have to stop, shapen up girl just pull your hand away even if your hand refuses. It does have a mind of its own at times.' She looked up at his beautiful face again, she could stare into his eyes for hours and it would still feel like a puddle on the ground. 'This is going to be harder than I thought.'

Kenshin POV

Kenshin glared at the boy and he ran away 'like he should have before I stared at him.' Kenshin frowned. He quickly turned to the angel right in front of him where she was staring right where the boy Josh had ran off, she was probably enjoying the attention from him, well he was going to make that better.

A little trick his mother taut him when he was little, was to kiss there hand because it was gentle and a sign of respect, in his mind he would do anything just to learn her name. So he did as his mother told him, he quickly took her small hand in his and kissed it gently as her eyes locked his. She was blushing, of course, he was a charmer after all, but to his surprise she quickly pulled her hand away when he started smirking.

He was surprised by her actions, but decided to brush it off like it never happened. His smirk quickly faded into nothing but a smile as a new song started on the dance floor. "May I have this dance?" he asked smiling at her, he knew a lot of girls would give anything to be in her shoes right now, and he also knew they were all glaring at her.

She looked at him almost in a thinking state and then blushed, as if she had realized something. "No" she snapped before she turned her back towards him looking angered by the question.

What did he do wrong? He did everything a girl would fall intensely for, but she just brushed it off like he said or did something wrong. Nobody ever did that to him, the strange part to him was the more she refused him the more interested he was in her, in fact he wanted her more. "Why not?" he asked coolly and clam like it was no big deal.

Kikari POV

'Oh god, oh god, oh god, he asked me to dance, oh god…wait…I have to stop or I'll look insane, well I am insane for refusing to dance with him. In a way I didn't do it because of what Mya said for me to do…Kenshin angered me by just that stupid smirk on his face, and he didn't even ask for my name yet! Not like I would tell him, he didn't tell me his either even though I know it, I have to stop talking to myself, I must look weird, but what do I say now…anything.' "Because you just think you can come up to a girl and ask them to dance without even knowing their name." Kikari hissed her back still turned towards him.

"Isn't that what a dance is for?" Kenshin asked confused.

'Dammit Kikari, now look what you've created for yourself, your acting like such a loser. Not like you never talked to a guy…and that you can't really say anything straight. Sigh' Kikari turned around smiling "fine I'll dance with you." 'DAMMIT KIKARI! Why did I do that? Now I even created a even bigger problem for myself AGAIN making it easier for me to screw up.'

Kenshin just smiled and took her hand in his again, and lead her to the dance floor. He was too happy that she had said she would dance with him, to even care what happened before hand. He wrapped one of his arms around her waist and the other one holding her hand to guide her when they danced. She wrapped one of her arms around his neck and the other with his hand to lead. She stared back into his hypnotizing lavender eyes as they started dancing to a kind of fast song. 'Why does it that when I am with him I feel safe and right, but I don't even know him?…I don't know how to dance either…damn' she thought as the song started…

Normal POV

One heart you are following…

And you run

And you can begin

In a place

Where you don't fit in

Cause love will find a way

When you're down

You can start again

Turn around

Anything you're in

Love will find a place

If you got…

Kenshin smirked as Kikari started leaning on him a lot more, trying to figure out how to dance since she's never really danced before.

One heart you are following

One dream that keeps you wandering

Love lights your way through the night

One wish that keeps you trying

What's your silver lining

Love lights the way through the night

You can fall a thousand times

You can feel like you've lost your mind

But love will find a way

Kikari started tripping some to end up being pulled closer to Kenshin, she blushed a lot from embarrassment and the fact that Kenshin was enjoying it.

And a minute

Can change your life

And a moment can make it right

Love will find a place

Lanna turned to finally find Kenshin dancing with a girl she had never seen before, she glared at the couple and started thinking up a plan to ruin whatever she had planed for the night while trying to find out her name.

Everybody needs something to hold onto

If you got

One heart you are following

One dream that keeps you wandering

Love lights your way through the night

Kikari saw that Rena had found a boy to dance with for the night as Mya was in a fight with…Sarah with the guy in the middle, she had to resolve this after the song was through.

One wish that keeps you trying

What's your silver lining

Love lights the way through the night

Is it your own

Is it your own

As the song ended Kikari pushed away from Kenshin, Kenshin didn't want to and really wanted to keep her close, but decided to let her go and tease her later, she seemed as if she really wanted to go. He growled a bit as negative thoughts ran through his head as he watched her leave him.

"Sorry Kenshin, but I have to leave." Kikari smiled up at him, she really didn't want to leave to warm heat of his body, but she had to help her friend, since Sarah's cheer freak friends started helping her out too.

Kenshin resisted the urge to grab her, pull her back to him and then make-out with her. She fit so perfectly into his arms, and the way she smiled at him was like an angel's. He didn't want her to leave of fear of never going to see her again. Kenshin did grab her by the wrist and pulled her back to him. "Will I see you again?" Kenshin asked with a little of sadness in his eyes.

"Yes" Kikari wasn't lying, he was going see her again, but just not the person he wanted to see. She had to think up something or Kenshin was going to be sad and wouldn't let go of her, she hated it when people she cared for were sad, and right now she cared for Kenshin, but she had to help a friend. As he released her wrist she marched over to Mya and the cheer freaks pulling Rena over with her.

"You asshole! He's not even your boyfriend and your saying he's yours?" Sarah yelled making her 'nicely put up fake blonde hair' fall down. Her face was as flushed red as Mya's was, at least they still looked pretty even though they were boiling mad.

"Well duh! Anyone anybody around would know I had my eye on him for a while now!" Mya hissed

"He's been mine longer than you, you bitc-"

"Shut up Sarah, you're nothing than a sluty cheer freak that would like to have nothing more than a guy with a image so he could make you look better than you are." Kikari cut in with a circle forming around them.

"And who in the hell are you to say that." Sarah glared at this 'girl' that dare interrupt her fight even though she looked very familiar.

"You know good and well who I am, everyone in this freakin building-"

Rena covered Kikari's mouth, trying to think up an excuse, "He, he, he, shut up! Sorry everybody she's my cousin from far away, she likes to act like she knows everybody."

"Well tell her to keep her damn nose out of everyone else's damn business!" Sarah lifted her nose in the air then focused her attention back on Mya. "As I was saying, he's not yours! He's mine!" Sarah snapped acting like she had never talked to Kikari in the first place.

"Shut the hell up and let him answer for himself!" Mya hissed as they both turned to the boy that seemed he was enjoying the fact that they were fighting over him.

"I don't really know. I'll decide in two days, first I'll be Mya's boyfriend tonight, then Sarah's boyfriend tomorrow. Then I'll see who I like best unless you can think up something better." Eien said like a true player.

"There is no contest, I can't think up anything better so I'll do it." Sarah said smirking at Mya.

"That's because you can't think…anyway I can think up something better, date me dump her." Mya smirked back, as Sarah started to leave the building.

"What?" Sarah sneered at Mya as she turned back to her.

"You heard me, you can't think, you buy your grades because you pay the damn teachers" Mya snapped once again forgetting about Eien.

"Well if you can, why not? I mean studying is just a waste of time." Sarah smirked.

"Oh really? Then just wait until after high school, then we'll see where paying teachers off get you." Mya frowned; she really wanted high school to be over so she could prove everyone wrong.

"Uh lady's…" Eien tried to cut in "I've actually decided, I choose Mya because…well Sarah you have a boyfriend." Eien blushed a little while scratching the back of his head.

Mya's eyes sparkled "really? OH EAIN DARLING!" Mya smiled at her new boyfriend, and ran over to hug him, but not before whispering, "cheating loser, even I don't do that" in Sarah's ear.

"Whatever, think what you would like I'm leaving" Sarah walked out the door swinging her butt back and forth. Mya, Rena, and Kikari just rolled their eyes.

Mya looked back at her boyfriend and thought 'sorry Kikari, but tonight's my night too. Eien may be a true smartass player, but let's just see if I can melt his little player's heart.' Mya smirked 'the harder they are to get, the harder they fall for you' Mya leaned over to Kikari and whispered "hey Eian will bring me home don't worry go ahead the dance is almost over anyway." Before Mya ran over to Eien and started pulling him away from the crowd to dance.

Rena smiled at Kikari as her guy for the night showed up and pulled her away, but not before Rena whispered "Hey Kikari he'll bring me home don't worry you can take the car. Then I'll dump him." Rena smirked before she was off dancing again.

'I'm tried of dancing, I'm tried of being here I'm just plain tried really…no one to hold me, no one to kiss, no one to hug, even if I had someone, I'm not that brave.' Kikari thought before she felt a hand grab her wrist and pull her outside the school gym where the dance was held…hey her school wasn't rich. No body ever went out of the gym unless they were leaving, because all that was out there was rocks and dirt, where just one trip could mean losing your dress. No one was willing to take that chance, but she really didn't have a choice in the matter.

"What is your name?" Kenshin asked, as he looked her in the eyes, making Kikari feel more like he was looking into her soul.

"Uh-um…" Kikari started 'should I tell him my real name? If I did then he would reject me, and tell me I'm a bitch just like the rest of them…why am I even with him? And why does it matter so much if he hates me? It never bothered me before so why now?'

"What's your name?" Kenshin asked again, but with more need in his voice while Kikari was spacing out in front of him.

Kenshin on the other hand needed to know this girl's name, it was bugging him all day. Just one look at her and he had to resist to make-out with her, she was like an angel to him. He wanted to kiss her so bad, it was getting harder and harder to control himself.

"Um…" Kikari's anger took over for some reason as she thought to herself 'you know what…it would never work, he's a hott football star I'm smart nobody. There's no reason we should be together, none, if though he's the cutest, sweetest, hottest, and most handsome guy I'll probably ever meet, it just won't work. Just even knowing my name will put shame to whatever he is in school, and I don't want to bring him down.' "Does it matter? Because I already know that it won't work between us! You're a star football player that needs a sexy, cute, slutly and I'll do anything to please you cheerleader, not a 'new girl' that can't do any of that and don't even look anything near someone beautiful." 'And someone's who's been called a slut and a bitch all her life' she thought to her self as she looked down, trying not to look into his soft lavender eyes, they would probably tell her the truth, something she didn't want to hear or see if he really did feel that way.

But to her surprise she felt his soft warm hand pull her chin up to his face, and he quickly leaned down and kissed her fully on the lips.

Kenshin couldn't take it anymore, just staring at her perfectly shaped lips wasn't going to make her kiss him anytime faster. Until he realized what she said, 'not beautiful? Who who ever say that to you? And if they did…' Kenshin's eyes started flickering amber 'I would kill them' he thought before he knew she felt alone and she meant it, to reassure her he gently bent down and kissed her gently on the lips, but as he did he thought he was atomically addicted to her kiss, soon her scent was playing underneath his nose as he leaned in closer 'the smell of roses' he thought before the taste of strawberry formed from kissing her. 'She must have eaten strawberry's before I kissed her…it just makes it better.' He started getting more passionate asking for more of what she had to offer in her hidden kiss. (Not like peter pan ok? NO)

She wanted so dearly to make her seem like she's kissed a hundred guys's before him, but the truth was…

It was her first kiss

Kenshin Hinoro had taken her first kiss. Not like she minded, but even if she knew they wouldn't work out, at least she didn't have to move away from every kind guy that came her looking like they wanted to kiss her now, and she would be scared for life remembering that a ugly nerd or a unknown guy took her first kiss. Instead she could tell her kids…if she ever had any "hey you know what? My first kiss was taken by the hottest guy in school." Instead of saying "don't even talk to me about first kisses, I didn't have one because I ended up a loser thanks to the guy that 'kissed and cursed' me." She smiled on the inside, she was happy about this, she had to admit he was a really good kisser, even though during the kiss he was asking for more than she was willing to give out of it.

Before she knew it she was suddenly ripped away from the warm comforting kiss and thrown into the dry air flying dirt, ruining the only dress she ever had in her life.

"You fucking bitch." Kenshin growled at the cheerleader that shoved her and threw her into the dirt.

"Kenshin I saved you! Look how she was forcing herself on you! You're lucky I showed up!" the voice that could only be Lanna's said seductively as she walked in front of where Kikari had fallen.

"Get away from me you bitch. Get over me." Kenshin growled "Your lucky its against my morals to hit a girl, but you're beginning to be a exception, apologize to her."

Kikari looked at her dress as she regained her senses, the dress that was now covered in dirt and grime from the ground, tears started to form in the sides of her eyes because of it 'the dress…the only dress I've ever had, the one that I spent half my money on and the one Mya picked out for me…its ruined and my first kiss is incomplete…' Kikari looked up at the sickening Jackass that dare do this to her…

The dark side of Kikari was back

Oooooooo I'm mean, Review and the faster you will know!
