From the last Chapter
"Mother fucker…" Kikari cursed as she continued walking to the office. 'I was going there anyway…' pretty soon her feet started to wobble and shake because of her feet started to decide they wanted to hurt and send little messages to her brain telling her that they hurt by making her feel it….sure she didn't have to go that far in dept, but…she didn't care. When she opened the door she thought she would just see Ms. Everton, but no…that would make her life to easy…it was…
Kenshin
Ok here begins the new Chapter
"What are you doing here?" they said in unison looking each other up and down. Kenshin was wearing an all black except the words 'Hottie' in red muscle T-shirt…with no sleeves. And then the usual blue jeans.
"Good…you know each other so I'll skip the introductions and tell you why you're here-" Ms. Everton stopped herself when she saw Kenshin still staring at Kikari, Kikari was looking like she was trying to avoid looking at him… "Mr. Hinoro please stop staring at Miss Kikari so she can sit down without having to worry about you're wandering eyes…"
"Y-Y-Yes ma'am" Kenshin said politely turned to the wall for interest, which wasn't anywhere near Kikari's looks, so Kenshin just had to settle for 'occasional' glances at Kikari's milky white legs. He never thought he see her again.
"Why am I here?" Kikari asked a little nervous thanks all to his 'occasional' glances that lasted longer than just a second…
"I've heard about you're parents" Ms. Everton smiled warmly at her "and I am deeply sorry"
'Her parents? What happened?' Kenshin thought as he turned back to the wall again.
"Its ok. I'm over it." Kikari smiled back reassuring her.
"I'm surprised that you are-" Ms. Everton stopped herself when she remembered Kenshin being in the room and that now wasn't the time to talk about that. "Never mind, I have called you both here to say that since Mr. Hinoro is the valedictorian for the boys and you are for the girl's to work on the speech together." Ms. Everton smiled
Kikari just tensed up while thinking 'oh great now he's hott, AND smart…is he like made by angels?', while Kenshin smirked both thinking of each other. "And then I'm going to give you both today off to do it." Ms. Everton shuffled the papers on her desk "now go! I'm very busy!"
Kikari jumped out of the room before Kenshin could catch her, but then… Kenshin pulled her back by twirling her into his arms with one of her hands in his and his other arm wrapped tightly around her small waist. "Well hello again Kikari." Kenshin purred.
"Hello Kenshin" Kikari glared at him, she didn't want to be held by him, but she did…weird.
"What? Aren't you happy to see me again? I mean we get to spend the entire day together." Kenshin smirked still holding her, he loved holding her for some reason, but in the trance of holding her he remembered she and Ms. Everton talking about her parents? He had to ask, he didn't want her to be upset with him, and instead he wanted to help her. "What happened to your parents?" Kenshin asked with worry in his deep lavender eyes.
Kikari tensed and pushed him away, making him release her "nothing you have to know." 'He doesn't have to know' she thought to herself trying to rebuild her inner wall, which was impossible near Kenshin. She needed to be away from him for a bit before she told him.
Kenshin knew that something happened to her parents and he really wanted to know what. Then again he should wait until she was ready to tell him and just ignore it for the time being. "I understand. You can tell me when you're ready. Would that be better?" Kenshin asked smiling.
"Yes…that would" Kikari gave into his smile and beautiful caring eyes again. 'At least he cares' she thought before she turned her head back to him to smile back.
Kenshin smiled and looked behind her to see an empty classroom Hey look! A open classroom, let's go in there to work on our speech." Kenshin grabbed Kikari wrist and pulled her in the room with him.
"Ok?" Kikari asked/said confused as she was pulled in and pushed into a seat beside Kenshin. The desk was an individual like everyone else's and so you and to push you desk over to other's to actually 'sit' beside them. Kenshin smirked as he said in the seat next to her and yanked her seat over to his side until you couldn't see any space between the two desks. "K-Kenshin?" Kikari said surprised and nervously.
"Don't worry I don't bite." Kenshin smirked while putting a piece of paper on the desk "ready?"
Kikari nodded her head in response and they started asking each other questions about the school, and the experiences they go through.
By noon
"I think we are almost done!" Kikari cheered happily 'and all this…Kenshin is getting to close to me…this is going to end…even though…I do and don't want him to go.' "What other questions do you want to ask of me?" Kikari asked smiling at him. For the last hour they were just mostly asking questions about homework, sports, and teachers nothing bad even though she did see Kenshin yawn once between his dazed 'I-going-to-fall-asleep' mode.
Kikari got nervous though when Kenshin didn't yawn and when Kenshin didn't just look bored instead he stared at her…smirking and looking very entertained 'is that a good thing?' Kikari thought before Kenshin spoke
"Will you kiss me?" Kenshin asked leaning closer to her.
"Uh…um…" Kikari was confused; did he just want her to kiss him? With other girl's he didn't have to ask, but with her it was different 'Ok I already kissed him like three times besides I'm the confused one, here he is, the man made by angels', then I come along screwing him all up by him just knowing me…figure this is just plain-' Kikari got knocked out of her thoughts as Kenshin decided to kiss her. Not her kiss him, but him kissing her. 'Crap…this isn't right…it's wonderful, but I can't' Kikari thought as she pushed him away before he had a chance to really capture her in one of his heart melting kisses. "I…I have to go" Kikari stuttered an excuse as she ran out the door and out of the school. She had no idea where she was going, just as far away from him as possible to think.
'Rejected…again' Kenshin thought to himself as he laid back in his seat '…does that mean she hates me? It's not my fault she took so long to respond. Its also her fault her kisses are so damn addicting' Kenshin frowned not even once did a female refuse him. Selfish? Maybe, but Kenshin was a bit overprotective sometimes…Still he had to go after her, it was his fault anyway that happened. He cursed at himself for even pushing her that far. Kenshin stood up and ran after her remembering the path she took.
Kikari decided to run to the nearest park bench as she ran into the park. She smiled as she finally sat down and started thinking to herself while lying on her back looking up at the clear sky. 'Great…Now what about Kenshin? Sure he's cute, smart, athletic, hott body, a good friend, an excellent kisser, a good dancer….this wasn't getting her anywhere. Just a perfect guy. That she can't help, but want and hate at the same time. She liked Kenshin, but the perfectness of him was driving her insane, she hated that part of him. She wasn't the one that can keep a bunch off girls off of him, she wasn't that beautiful to just turn his head at a glance. In other words she didn't feel like she deserved that, for heaven's sake she was brought up in a 'your not better than anybody' world. So she couldn't help, but act like she wasn't good enough. She tried so hard to fight it.' Kikari mind flashed back memories of her parents and she started crying. 'I hate this…I want to hate you so bad…you've done nothing to help me, all this time you've killed me, and now? Now you think dieing in front of me is the answer? What logic is that? I…I can't help but miss having you at the house, even if you were drunk I still thought I could help you understand love. Did you even know that word? And did you really mean it that day?' Kikari's eyes were covering in tears streaming down the sides of her face until she had to sit up from crying so much. "Did you even care how much I missed you?" Kikari cried out hoping they would somehow hear her and tell her. Then again, she felt lonelier than anything.
Before she knew it, like her prayer's had been answered, someone held her crying little petit body close to them, letting her cry on there chest. Kikari at the moment really didn't care who it was, nor could she see their face because of her tears. Kikari instead just cried into there chest while telling them for some odd reason what happened that night, it felt like the more she told them the lighter her chest felt, like she wasn't weighted down by guilt. When she finished she cried harder the since of her parents dieing replaying in her head like a broken record, and there only response was them rocking her back and forth until she fell asleep to the rhythm of there heartbeat slowly letting tears stream down her face.
In the morning
Sigh Kikari let out a deep sigh of relief as she stretched her arms out on her king sized bed. She blinked her eyes open 'King sized bed? What happened to her old 'used a million times' bed? And since WHEN does her bed have SLIK GOLD SHEETS?…..' Kikari thought and frowned 'she didn't, never have, never will' Kikari sat up and looked around her 'room'. The room had gold wallpaper, a gold rug that looked worth more than how much money her father EVER spent on beer his entire life. As she looked up she saw the bed had a canopy with…of course golden sheets draping from it and even the windows.
This was not her room….
"Where in hell am I?" Kikari narrowed her eyes feeling more tense than usual. "And what the hell am I suppose to do?" Kikari was talking to herself again…she was getting bad, but what in the hell where you suppose to do when you woke up in somebody else's house?
"You're at my place. I found you on the park bench asleep, I still don't know where you live and I didn't want to wake you up since you looked like you needed a good night's sleep in a while. So I just brought you to my place." Kenshin voice came from the door.
Kikari turned her head to the door to see Kenshin leaning on the doorframe looking concerned. 'What does he have to be concerned about, it looks like to me that he has enough money to make himself happy.' Kikari's eyes widened as she thought out of the box 'or…or maybe he found out about my…parents.' Kikari's eyes started to water as she wiped them with the bed sheet as she tossed it over her head so Kenshin wouldn't see her. 'I don't want Kenshin worrying over me, it will just make me feel worst. He's even letting me in his house and sleep in one of his rooms! I don't deserve any of this…'
"Kikari…" Kenshin sighed and watched Kikari's tremble body retreat back under the covers.
"Why?" Kikari's voice weakly asked from under the covers.
"Why what?" Kenshin walked slowly towards Kikari and sat on the side of the bed trying his best to comfort her.
"Why are you doing all this? You shouldn't even be talking to me…" Kikari's mind still in a state of confusion. She had no idea why he was helping her or even cared about her, she felt misplaced, but strangely comforted when he was around. Then again she could think and feel anything in the state she was in. It was almost graduation day, the day when she could prove to her parents that she was better than what they said she was, the day when she hoped they would finally realize that she was someone and not a worthless demon child, but they weren't even here anymore for her to prove it to…
"Why shouldn't I be doing this and how come I shouldn't talk to you?" Kenshin tensed up hoping she wouldn't ever find a excuse for him not to talk to her because for some strange reason he felt like he belonged beside her and that he was helping himself when he helped her.
"Because…" 'Just say it…it can't get any worst' "I'm not who you think I am" Kikari whispered the last words so Kenshin had to work to hear.
"What?" Kenshin asked surprised.
Kikari threw the covers off of her with tears running down her cheeks "I…I…let me just put it this way I'm out of your league, Even you being my friend is impossible! You shouldn't even know me! Kenshin you think you know me but you don't Kenshin…you don't." Kikari jolted up and ran to the door before Kenshin had a chance to even catch her, but she stopped just to hear what he had to say.
"That's because you won't let me." Kenshin stared blankly at her, his emotions unreadable as he stared into Kikari Ocean hurt blue eyes with her tears become fresh again.
Kikari had nothing to say back and just rushed out the door to wherever there was a door out.
Kenshin continued to stare at the same place Kikari left as he let his thoughts invade his empty mind. 'What are you hiding?' Kenshin laid back into the bed where Kikari slept 'I can even still smell you on the pillows and it's driving me even more insane.' Kenshin took in a deep breath of what Kikari had felt to offer him besides a broken heart and a confused mind. 'Did I do something wrong? Did I move too fast? Did I make a move at all? You didn't even let me know your name when and after we first met. I've never had to work so hard to learn someone's name in my life, and to think it never has really paid off either accept in the joy of saying it.' Kenshin's mind eventually slept until he went to sleep with Kikari's lingering smell on the pillows 'What do I do now?' Kenshin's last thought was before her smell intoxicated him into a deep sleep.
'DAMMIT! WHY? WHY? WHY?' Kikari screamed in her head as her slammed the door to the biggest mansion she had ever seen in her life. 'WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME KENSHIN?' Kikari's sadness had turned into pure fury as she finally found the exit to the mansion. Kikari looked up at the sky as the rain started to fall lightly and then pound on her face as she glared up at the gray sky and started to shout to god or the angels she really didn't care "DO YOU HATE ME? DO YOU HATE ME THAT MUCH? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU DAMMIT! YOU MAKE YOUR LITTLE ANGELS TAKE OVER MY PARENTS BODYS SO THEY WOULD MAKE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL AND THEN AS I SET A GOAL TO PROVE THEM WRONG AND I ALMOST HAD IT IN WRITING YOU TAKE THEM FROM ME! THEN TO MAKE IT WORST YOU MAKE THEM SAY THEY LOVE ME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THEY'RE ENTIRE LIFE'S WHEN THEY'RE DIEING? AND IF THAT NOT ALL THEN YOU GO AND MAKE MY LIFE WORST BY MAKING ME RUIN THE HOTTEST GUY IN HISTORY'S LIFE BECAUSE YOU GET SOME KIND OF SICK-O FUN OUT OF IT? WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? THE LAST THING ON EARTH I WANT TO DO IS RUIN HIM THAT'S WHY I LEFT! AND NOW MY LIFE IS A LIVING SHITHOLE! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW! DAMMIT! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?" Kikari stared blankly into the sky awaiting some kind of answer, but there was none. Kikari bowed her head down and looking at the flooding path as she walked back to her house feeling worst than ever in her life.
Slam
The door echoed throughout the house as Kikari slammed it shut and leaned against it. Kikari looked at the blood stained floods where her parents died that night and slid her back down the door until she touched the floor. She replayed images of her parents right before they die and wondered how they had such a change of heart. Then she started to cry as she remembered the moments of her Kenshin dancing, laughing, crying, and even her first kiss. Kikari made a gentle smile creep across her beat red face as she gently touched her lips. "At least you gave me something…" Kikari mumbled. "So…now what do I do?" Kikari got up and started walking and thinking at the same time. 'Well I only have one more week and I can just be the 'old' Kikari and be dedicated to my friends for that small amount of time.' Kikari smiled 'and I'm not going to think about Kenshin or my parents for the time being' Kikari ran to her room and quickly peeled off her clothes to put on her baggie pants and her baggie shirt, then put her hair up in a ponytail. "The old Kikari is back." Kikari felt neither happy nor sad about it, in fact she felt empty and alone. "Stupid emotions who needs 'em?"
Kikari laughed at herself as she remembers she had school today. 'Better get going I should be there by noon…' Kikari stopped laughing and started walking back in the rain downpour to her school. She knew her clothes were going to be soaked, but what did she care? In fact she didn't think she cared at all anymore really all she had left is her friends. She also felt as if her heart had been ripped out and stomped on millions of times by her worst enemy's. Nah…it was worst.
When Kikari made it to school she made it in time for the last period of the day. 'Wow…gym class' Kikari thought to herself as she walked in just in time for the bell to ring symbolizing she was late. 'Figures' she thought before she walked inside the locker room and saw Rena and Mya
"KIKARI!" Rena and Mya yelled in unison.
"Where were you today?" Mya asked worried
"Its ok! I just got….sidetracked don't worry about me." Kikari grabbed her clothes from her locker and quickly slipped them on.
"O…k, but me and Mya got some clothes for you and-" Rena started to take some clothes out of her book-bag as Kikari cut her off.
"NO!" Kikari yelled, but quickly shut up as she saw them stare at her surprised at her reaction.
"What about-" Mya started before Kikari cut her off again.
"Kenshin? Forget about him, forget every damn thing ok? DAMMIT MYA AND RENA!" Kikari almost broke down into tears. "I…I'm never going to see him again happy?" Kikari turned away from them her vision getting blurry.
"Kikari…" Rena started beginning to cry with her, Rena was like that whenever someone was hurt it was like she could feel the same way.
"I'm gonna kill him! How dare he break your heart!" Mya growled as her eyes turned an evil purple color.
"No Mya, it was me, I broke it off with him even though we were never together." Kikari started to tense as her eyes stopped watering and she started walking towards the door to the gym.
"Why?" Mya and Rena asked in unison
"Because…I don't deserve him and its better this way" Kikari began to smile a little just remembering him "And…he'll be happier."
"Bullshit Kikari, that's bullshit." Mya and Rena walked out the door with her.
"Please…don't talk about ok?" Kikari begged her friends, she didn't want anyone in the school to know that Kikari could cry or would especially over a guy.
"Fine…but just remember we disagree with you, and that we are going to try everything in our power to make you laugh." Mya smiled with Rena and started doing the routine excises for that day.
"FINALLY!" Kikari yelled as she headed for the bleachers to sit down for the last of class.
"Class is over! Thankfully the teachers let us have the last five minutes to ourselves!" Rena smiled
"So what happened to you and Eien?" Kikari asked. She didn't know what her and Mya were doing for the last two days, but…something seemed off.
"W-why do you ask?" Mya stuttered which she never did in her entire life.
"Because I can just tell." Kikari smirked
"Ok, ok, ok we broke up…" Mya smiled weakly
"Why?" Rena asked seeming surprised at the news too.
"I told you about it Rena…" Mya glared "and, I don't know…"
"You don't know? He looks pretty upset today to, him and Kenshin…" Rena stared over to the side were the football boy's gathered for a meeting.
"WHAT!" Kikari and Mya yelled in unison. Kikari ducted down and had her back to the wall so neither she or Kenshin couldn't see each other, she was praying to the lord that Kenshin wouldn't dare look over to her.
"Jerk…" Mya's face flushed and her temperature started to rise "that bitch" Mya glared at the oh-so-chirpy Sarah hanging all over Eien.
"MYA!" Rena yelled as she saw Mya hop off the bleachers and stomped over to where Sarah, Kenshin, and the bastard Eien was.
"Eien." Mya spat out his name like it was poison to her lips.
Eien quickly looked at her as if she had a shotgun in her hand and was about to shoot him. He was ghost white too because of her.
"Kikari! Kikari! You have to go over there and get her back! She is going to do something bad! I can tell, please Kikari! I can't talk to Mya like you can!" Rena begged
"But Kenshin…" Kikari ducted deeper so she wouldn't have to worry about Kenshin seeing her, but then again she really did need to get Mya away from Eien before Mya hit him…then Mya would blame her for not stopping her in the first place.
"Damn Kenshin! Get Mya!" Rena begged again sounded more and more worried.
"F-fine!" Kikari couldn't help, Mya was her friend and as her friend she had to get her away before Mya did anything she was going to regret. "Come on Rena your coming with me too!" Kikari pulled Rena off the bleachers by grabbing her wrist.
"You bastard…" Mya glared at Eien and Sarah as they turned ghost white, Mya could look scary when you pictured her with a gun.
"What are you talking about?" Eien glared back at her, after getting back the color in his face.
"Yea! Your history with Eien he's mine now so fuck off, plus where is your little friend that always fights for you?" Sarah smirked gaining back her color too.
"Shut up I don't need her! Eien I'm surprised at you! Dating her right after we broke up!" Mya hissed forgetting the fact Kikari was there, that or she didn't know it at all.
"Oh really? Is that how you feel? Like I'm just in the way?" Kikari asked from behind her annoyed. Kikari wasn't mad that Mya was defending herself, oh no not that, it was the fact that she was sounding like she just did it to interrupt her, but she was just trying to keep her from doing anything stupid. But of course she had forgotten all about Kenshin, in fact she didn't care anymore.
"Kikari! No! I…I didn't mean it like that!" Mya turned to her, she also switched moods.
"Forget it Mya we broke up, which you planned to do from the start! So just don't talk to me." Eien looked angry as he walked away pulling Sarah along with him. In which Sarah leaned on him and turned around to stick her tongue out.
"Dammit." Kenshin cursed as he walked away thinking to himself again. 'Kikari? Is that her? And if it is why in the hell is she pretending like I don't even exist? Did she not see me? Ah I should just forget about her she's never going to like or come back to me…I have no idea what she was talking about, but…I'd do anything to have her back…' Kenshin sighed, this just wasn't his day, and the last place he was ever going to see her is going to be at graduation. That day is the day he going to have to give it his all to resist her, to resist wanting her again…he shook his head, 'why did I even try when I first met you when something like this was going to happen? If I knew it was going to end up like this I would have never wanted to meet you in the first place…that's a lie…I could never think that I wouldn't love every minute with you even though I would know it would end up like this…' Kenshin stopped and just walked towards the meeting again, at least that might clear his head of his depressed thoughts.
"Is that true Mya?" Rena asked worried again.
Mya just smiled and turned to her "Rena you know me well enough to answer that question yourself, I try my hardest never to date people just to date them, I just have a harder time trying to find the right guy than most people, and the problem is I give everybody a chance just to end up with them 'just dating me to date' so I ended up so heartbroken that I don't get hurt anymore and then I don't really feel like when I got out with someone I'm really going out to go steady…that its like another 'fake' friend I'll have until I feel they are getting to attracted and then might get hurt. So then I brake it off with them before that happens…that is my answer if you didn't know Rena."
"Oh…" Rena replied regretting she even asked, "I'm sorry…"
"Mya not to get off the subject but the reason I help you went you get in fights-" Kikari started
"Is because you don't want me doing anything I might regret, you have saved me so many times, and you too should know that whenever I say anything about you or Rena when I'm in a rage I don't mean it…I'm sorry...I shouldn't and from now on I'll try to control it I promise…and to tell the truth…I want him back." Mya turned bright red.
"Y-y-you want him back?" Kikari asked surprised. Not ever did Mya want a guy back, this was serious.
"We can make him jealous!" Rena said happily
"Jealous? Hmmmm" Mya thought to herself "good idea I should! Ok I'll do it, but…will he be jealous?" Mya got worried.
"Trust me…I'll work with him…" Kikari smirked
"But who…" Rena thought "what about Josh Ignao? He seems like a decent guy….didn't you date him?" Rena asked lost I her own thought process.
"Uh…maybe? Who knows, but is he hott?" Mya asked her smile becoming wider.
"Yea." Rena said smiling just because Mya was.
"Then ok I'll…no wait KIKARI! You will ask him and you also have to wear the beautiful clothes I bought you too! Because I don't want you to turn him off thinking I have bad dressing friends ok? Its only for a minute!" Mya begged giving Kikari the puppy eyes.
"Whatever…as long as HE doesn't see me I don't care." Kikari said with a monotone voice.
"He who? Do you like somebody Kikari?" Rena asked smiling again.
