"Listen Mya Kikari isn't here so you can practice shooting ok? She's came back and-" Rena was cut off by Kikari.
"I am so sorry Mya, I know I was lower than dirt and need to be killed for what I did, but please…forgive me, and killing won't help anything." Kikari smiled warmly at her.
"Are you sure about that? Leaving without saying goodbye or even a trace of where to find you? Why did you do it?" Mya sat down on the nearest chair, as did Rena and Kikari.
"Well a week before graduation you or Rena didn't know it, but I sent in a letter to the college of Florida. The reason I didn't tell you was because I didn't think I had a prayer of getting in that late. On the night before graduation I got back a letter from the college saying I was accepted only because of my high grades, if I didn't have them then I wouldn't have been accepted, I didn't know what to feel at that moment so I suddenly just called in for a ticket that night. That morning I woke up late and because of the lost time I didn't have time to say goodbye or anything. I was going to say it after graduation, but my time was cut short and I had to leave right after my speech…" Kikari stopped herself looked down afraid of Mya's answer.
"We saw Kenshin run after you…did he catch you in time?" Mya was now feeling a little more hurt for some odd reason.
"Yes." Kikari stated bluntly.
"What happened?" Mya asked watching Kikari every move.
"He caught me…" Kikari started to remember the moment. "And I told him I couldn't talk to him, and I also told him that I was going to college. He wanted to come with me, but I told him no. He talked to me in a voice that really scared me…I don't know why, but then he just kept talking to me and taking up time so I couldn't leave so I…" Kikari trailed off almost wanting to cry.
"What?" Mya asked with sympathy to Kikari now, she was started to realize the hardness and why Kikari left.
"I kissed him." Kikari looked away she continued "and he let me leave."
"Really?" Mya and Rena asked in unison
"That was the hardest moment of my life besides leaving you two without saying even goodbye, but I told myself that I would do well in life for you guy's and I did." Kikari looked up and smiled weakly at them.
"I had no idea…" Mya looked down ashamed at herself for hating Kikari for five straight years. "I hated you so much, you were like my sister and you left me without leaving even a note. It hurt…a lot." Mya started to cry.
Kikari went over to Mya and hugged her "You didn't know, its ok, if I were in your shoes I would have done the same thing." Kikari started to cry with her "You guy's…I missed you so much…"
Rena ran over and hugged them
"We missed you too Kikari" Rena and Mya said in unison.
"Ok time to talk!" Mya said happily "me first!" Mya said breaking the hug.
Kikari and Rena sat back down a little bit surprised of her reaction.
"Ok! Kikari do you remember Eien?" Mya looked at Kikari and smirked
"Uh…" Kikari thought "Yea." Kikari looked back at Mya with curiousness.
"Well, I'm engaged to him." Mya showed Kikari the ring. "Isn't it beautiful?"
"WOW! I didn't think you could get a ring that big around here." Kikari smiled as she looked at the ring in aw.
"Well Eien traveled some, being the business man he is, and he found it. He is so sweet." Mya sighed and remember Eien giving it to her.
"But…. what happened to Josh?" Kikari somehow remembered him.
"Josh?" Mya looked at her in confusion "OH! Josh! Well when he asked me out after graduation Eien overheard or something and well…beat him to a pulp. I felt really bad for him, but I got over it as soon and Eien explained that he broke up with some girl and asked me out again." Mya smiled "the rest is history."
"Where is Eien now?" Kikari looked around for him.
"He's at his house! Its not like we live together yet!" Mya blushed.
"NOW ME!" Rena said happily "I don't even have a boyfriend…but I do own my own house." Rena smiled "Believe it or not I was engaged at one point, but broke it off because it just wasn't right, and I knew it. I felt horrible for James, but I had to do it for him and myself. So these past month's I've dated over a hundred guy's with no luck."
"I'm sorry." Kikari looked at Rena sadly.
"Its ok, I know I'll find someone…if not I can always go on-line and go to that whole weird dating thing." Rena smiled warmly at her "beside that I've got nothing. You? I bet your life is interesting."
"Your not engaged or married are you?" Mya glared "then I would have never been a first lady!"
"Um…Mya that's the president's wife." Rena sweat dropped with Kikari "anyway…"
"No I don't even have a boyfriend." Kikari laughed, "Many have tried, but they failed."
"Really. What is your job then?" Rena asked. She never did ask her that.
Kikari froze up 'should I tell them?' "Uh….um…a…nurse?" 'Oh great…now she HAD to tell them'
"Liar." Mya hissed 'for all the years I've known her Kikari would NEVER be a nurse because she would kill the old people because they ordered her around so much.'
"Fine! But you have to swear to tell no one ok?" Kikari sighed as they nodded their heads "I'm a secret agent." Kikari smirked.
"Wow…so that's why you look so thin and beautiful." Rena smiled "I knew I 'normal' job would bore you."
"In the mean time…" Rena grinned "we'll take you around the town! Showing you all the sire's that changed!" Rena smiled.
"And talk some more of course." Mya smiled "and on the way we might find you a hott guy huh?" Mya and Rena got up and headed for the door.
"Sure why not?" Kikari laughed as for some reason she remembered Kenshin. 'Yup just some uncomfortable memories.' Kikari shook off her thoughts and followed her friends.
At 10:30 at night
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" Rena yelled in the sir as they stopped the car back at Mya's house. "First the shopping, then eating, then more shopping, then arcade games, then more shopping and then tea, I've never done that before, and then more shopping!" Rena's eyes sparkled.
"I was hoping Kikari would say that…but she looks a little knocked out doesn't she?" Mya asked looking in the back of her car she saw Kikari sleeping soundly. "She can stay at my house for the night, go on home Rena." Mya smiled at Rena.
"Whatever." Rena started to look more and more tired "need…sleep…" Rena started to look dazed. "I don't think I can drive homeeee…" Rena fell back into her seat pretending to be asleep.
"Fine! You can stay-" Mya smirked
"Really?" Rena smiled hopefully and jumped out of the car.
"On the couch." Mya's smirked widened as she started laughing.
"W-what? Huh?" Kikari asked waking up from the back seat "did someone say something?" Kikari asked dazed.
"Rena's saying with us tonight at my house." Mya got out of the car and headed towards the front door of her house.
"But what about Rena? Don't you only have two bedrooms?" Kikari asked concerned.
"The couch." Mya got her keys out and unlocked the door.
"Don't worry…its not like I haven't slept there before." Rena mumbled the last part following after Mya into the house.
"I'm going to sleep now tomorrow is the big reunion day and I need some beauty sleep. Night." Mya yawned and locked the door back after Kikari came in. Mya waved Rena and Kikari with the back of her hand and shut her door to her room.
"I better go to, I had no idea I fell asleep in Mya's car." Kikari looked worried, but shook it off and looked at the door next to Mya's.
"Bathroom." Rena said blankly
Kikari turned to the next-door and pointed.
"Closet." Rena shook her head.
Kikari pointed to the next-door and pointed glaring at Rena.
"Your room." Rena laughed as Kikari growled and shut the door to sleep that night.
2:00 in the morning
Buzzzzzz….buzzzzzzz….buzzzzzzz
"Huh what?" Kikari woke up hearing a buzzing sound coming from one of her bags. As she snapped out of her daze she heard it again.
Buzzzzzz….buzzzzzzz….
"Dammit." Kikari whispered before she fell out of her bed realizing she got caught in the covers. "Get off me dammit!" Kikari whispered again trying not to wake the others while pulling the sheets off of her before the sounded louder and longer…
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
"Dammit shut up!" Kikari yelled in a whispering voice. When she got untangled and tore open her bag and finally grabbed her phone. "What?" Kikari calmly asked, nobody, but her boss called her on that phone, and she could only reach him by it. Yelling at him would get her fired of course.
"I've heard that you are off these few weeks." Her boss said sounding calm like nothing had happened.
"Correct." Kikari said professionally. 'Dammit, you better not give me a case, THAT'S WHAT DAYS OFF MEAN!' Kikari thought to herself.
"If you could…I detected a suspicious case in the area you are currently in and I would like you to keep a eye on the fellow, two to be précised." The boss sounded anything, but concerned. "I was sure that it would be alright since you are one of my top agents…" Kikari could hear the computers in the background printing out the information.
"Of course sir." Kikari said firmly 'Dammit…I knew it.'
"Good…I just got the information on them. Suspect number one Rose Cane, Blonde with brown eyes, making as an auto-mechanic and also been seen as a local decorator for many party's and social events. The reason we want you to watch her because she may look innocent, but she has murdered her ex-boyfriend when they broke up. She has recently had a boyfriend and has broke up, I want you to keep him close to make sure he doesn't get killed. Do you have it down?" Her boss asked firmly.
"Yes sir." Kikari said back reassuring him. "But who is the guy?" Kikari didn't hear him say that part.
"Someone you already know…Covu. I know he is capable of protecting himself, but in any case he can't you need to. He is coming in tomorrow meet him at the airport in the morning at 10:00 got it?" Her boss sounded angered by the fact she asked a question 'how was I going to know? AND COVU? I bet he set this up…I don't know how, but…that Jerk!' Kikari growled forgetting her boss.
"KIKARI!" She heard her boss yell.
"Yes sir! Sorry sir, continue." Kikari mental slapped herself 'now I know how I sound when I yell at people.'
"Suspect two is a former trouble maker that moved from town to town causing us to miss him, but we are 99.6 percent sure he's there. He has Black hair and his eye color is unknown, is name unknown, but he goes by the name 'black tiger' …look for him. He is a wanted serial killer, killed 12 people, one of the top 10 we need to catch. Do anything to catch him…that is all."
Beep
Sigh 'great, just great…this is the reason WHY I hate my job…why in the hell would Covu date somebody like that? I guess I have to wait until I see her.' Kikari sighed and wonderer 'why does my heart beat faster when I think about him?' Kikari blushed as she saw a vivid picture of him in her head. 'I think I…miss him.' Kikari smiled as she walked back over to bed. 'I missed Kenshin too.' Kikari smiled warmly 'so much that I cried for him for a whole two weeks…' Kikari sighed 'better get some sleep, something tells me that I'm going to need it tomorrow…how come I feel like I've forgotten something…oh well.' Kikari sighed once more and gracefully slid into a deep sleep.
In the morning
"But Kikari-" Rena begged before she was cut off.
"No, we are not going to wake her up! This is probably the first day she's had off in forever! And you know it's really stupid to wake her!" Mya hissed.
"Well…ok, but when does the reunion start?" Rena asked sweat dropping.
"In about three hours its 10:30 now." Mya hissed, "You should know that, stupid."
"But…but…" Rena started again.
"WHAT?" Mya yelled wanting to shut Rena up, they have been fighting for the past hour about the same thing.
"What's all the yelling about?" a dazed Kikari asked with her PJ's still on.
"I'm sorry Kikari, we didn't mean to wake you." Mya smiled "it Rena's fault…" Mya glared at Rena.
"No its ok, I feel like I'm forgetting somethinggggg OH MY GOD!" Kikari's eyes shot open as she darted back into her room and slammed the door. Five minutes later Kikari came out wearing short jean shorts, a black tank top, and regular tennis shoes. Kikari left her hair down with only brushing it to make it look at least ok. 'I can't believe I forgot to pick up Covu!' Kikari ran over to Mya "please, PLEASE tell me I can drive in your car really fast! I'll be back by 12:00 at the most!" Kikari looked despite.
"Whatever." Mya threw her the keys and watched her run out the door. "Somehow I don't think she had time to tell us something." Mya smirked.
"But she will" Rena drank her morning tea looking bored.
In the car
"Dammit, Dammit, Dammit! Why didn't I remember?" Kikari hissed as she drove to the airport at 80 miles per hour.
SSSCCCCRRRREEEEECCCCCHHHH…
'Finally I made it!' Kikari thought to herself as she locked the door and ran inside. 'If he just came with me we could have avoided all this!' Kikari thought looking around the airport for him.
30 minutes later
'If he was smart he would have got in a Taxi and left.' Kikari sighed and sat down. 'He's not here…' Kikari finally decided to get up and walk out the door until she heard a kind-of familiar voice behind her, not like a one she had known forever, but have heard before.
"Hey!" a male voice called her in an annoying tone.
Kikari tuned to the voice and saw a guy who looked familiar, but she couldn't put a name to his face.
"Do you remember me?" The guy asked painting from running to her.
Kikari looked him up and down trying to remember him. He was pretty tall, with dark black hair, bright blue eyes, he looked strong with muscles, but he wasn't at all handsome, and he looked smart to a point of that he could murder someone and get away with it. Kikari was good about telling how smart and slick people were, she had to be in her job, but Adam didn't at all look like a murderer, all happy like he was right then. He didn't ring any bells for her in any case "uh no." Kikari said still thinking.
"I'm Adam the guy that danced with you at the dance remember?" Adam smiled at her politely.
"Ok…" Kikari remembered back to the dance, but all she could remember was Kenshin. 'Adam…Adam….Adam…Oh! That was the boy I danced with before I danced with Kenshin! He never did tell me his name….' "I remember you Adam!" Kikari smiled back "what can I do for you?" Kikari asked still smiling.
"Nothing right now all I wanted to do was to say hi, but there is on thing…" Adam trailed off.
"What is it?"
"Never mind. I have to go, goodbye, we will meet again!" Adam smiled at her with a glint in his eye and ran off.
"Ok…" Kikari was confused, she hadn't seen Adam for so long, it seemed like forever…well she only saw him for like a second last time at the dance before Kenshin cut in… 'Kenshin…' Kikari's thoughts trailed off into memories. Kikari shook her head wildly blushing, this was happening a little too much. Kikari decided to leave since Covu wasn't here and left the airport.
"I'm back!" Kikari yelled though the empty house throwing the keys on the table. "Hello?" Kikari was getting worried, she took the car so they couldn't have gone anywhere. Kikari mind sharpened as she looked around the house for any signs of life.
BAM
"KIKARI!" Rena and Mya yelled in unison.
BAM
Kikari fall flat on her butt from the surprise of them yelling her name. "Rena….Mya….WHERE IN THE HELL WERE YOU?" Kikari growled as she stood back up and faced them. Kikari raised a delicate eyebrow as she glared at the bag Mya was carrying ever so gently in her hand. "What is that?" Kikari asked curiously.
"Put it on and find out!" Rena smiled as she ripped the bag out of Mya's hand and handed it to Kikari.
Kikari took the bag and tried to look in it, but Rena tied the top of the bag with a bow.
"Not…until…you…put…it…on." Mya glared at Kikari.
Kikari sighed annoyed and went to her bedroom to change. As she made it to her bedroom and closed the door she set the bag on the bed and untied the bow. As the bag came open Kikari looked in shock and pure happiness and whispered to herself "they got me a dress!"
Kikari gently took it out of its bag and slipped it on after removing her clothing. She twirled around looking in the mirror at it blushing. It was pure black and short cut just above the knees, but a little higher, the back of it was open, but had many strings crisscrossing one another making it look like a spider web in the back. The front of the dress showed a bit a cleavage and was cut like a 'V' in the middle with no sleeves. She saw her phone, the phone that can only be used by her boss 'I better bring that…if he calls and I don't answer…I'll be fired!'. Kikari reached for her phone with one hand and pushed it into the twist. Kikari took a huge clip that held them to her head. She looked in the mirror to see if you could see the phone, when she was sure that you couldn't from any angle she sighed in relief. She smiled to herself in the mirror. "Come look you guy's!" Kikari said happily awaiting the door to open.
BAM
"OOOOOO KIKARI YOU ARE SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!" Rena shouted in delight.
"Its so perfect on you Kikari!" Mya smiled "I'm so glad I picked it out for her."
"Uh Mya that was me." Rena glared
"Your mind must be going it was me!" Mya growled and glared back.
"I DID." Rena yelled
"I DID!" Mya yelled back.
"Stop you guy's I love the dress you both had to pick it out if it's this beautiful!" Kikari tried to calm them.
"Whatever." Rena and My said in unison.
"Look at you guy's! You all look so pretty!" Kikari said happily. Rena Smiled back at her, she was wearing a cute red short skirt with a red tank top. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a messy bun with a few strains as her bangs. She looked ready to party.
Mya on the other hand was wearing black leather pants, with a plain black shirt that had glitter all on it. Mya always did like glitter. She had her green hair down letting it flow down.
Kikari sweat dropped "uh Rena you always like to dress in bright don't you?"
"Yup!" Rena smiled as she slipped in her red high heels. Mya of course had black boots ready to kick anybody's ass necessary. Then Kikari went ahead and slipped on some Black high heels she brought along with her and they left for the reunion.
In the car
"Is my hair ok up?" Kikari started biting her nails after the asked the question.
"It great Kikari for the hundredth time! Kenshin might not even be there! And stop biting your nails!" Mya reassured her as she pulled Kikari's hand away from her mouth.
The problem was Kikari felt as though she was forgetting something, and when she felt that way it usually meant that she really did forget something. The bad part was…she felt as though it was something big. "Sorry." Kikari mumbled through her thoughts. 'I bet Kenshin is twice as hott as he was before…all grown up and having a job…I wonder what job he has.'
"We're here!" Rena squealed as they hoped out of the car and looked up at the high school building. Writing on a sign above the door was "Welcome back class of 2005!". And from inside the two open doors to their huge gym was different colored lights and music from inside the doors.
"Well…here we go…" Kikari said nervously as she walked inside with her two best friends.
As the music played ranging from there old rock to slow romantic songs they watched and tried to remember the names to all the faces in the crowds.
"Oh! Look, look! There's Kathy from chorus class and WOW! She must have lost over a hundred pounds, she looks great!" Mya said excitedly "I have to talk to her, be back!" Mya waved and ran off towards the girl.
"Rena you are not leaving me." Kikari hissed "If you do then about a thousand of these hungry guy's will ask me to dance…they've been staring at me ever since I came in!" Kikari shuddered disgusted.
Rena laughed "your not the only one, about ten guy's keep looking at me too, but I have to say…you have got the looks so these guy's will be all over you with or without me if you don't get a date soon!" Rena railed off and saw a guy staring at her who looked a little decent, so Rena left her.
Kikari looked around and sighed in a depressed way 'no Kenshin…I wish he was here…but he has to be married.' Kikari's heart skipped a beat 'it hurts, in a way its my fault…its all my fault if I just stayed here…' Kikari shook her head wildly trying to stop herself from saying things she didn't mean and making her day worst. 'And I still feel like I've forgotten something!' Kikari ended up leaning against a wall deep in thought with her eyes closed making sure the guy's would think she would reject them without her actually telling them.
After about a minute of clearing her thoughts from the music suddenly out of nowhere she felt someone's lips upon her's. For some odd reason without opening her eyes she kissed back, feeling the kiss was familiar and it felt right. Kikari quickly snapped back into reality and snapped her eyes open. Kenshin quickly broke the kiss and stared right back at her.
Kikari was in complete shock, here out of nowhere Kenshin showed up and he kissed her? Kikari stared in shock as Kenshin backed away a bit so she could stand up straight. "Ken…shin?" Kikari said weakly still in shock of seeing him after five years. She remembered what she said about being twice as hott, that was now obliterated and replaced with a million times hotter and making her feel still unworthy of being next to him. He changed so much in five years, His hair was one of the things that still looked the same because it was as red as ever and cut off with the messy hair look still. Leaving him with his bangs barely covering his beautiful Lavender eyes, but his eyes where as clear as crystal through his bangs. He wore a black tux making every muscle that had grown over the years stand out even more. Kikari let out a breath she was holding as she thought to herself 'I let go of him for college?' Kikari shook her head wildly 'no, no, no, no, no! I knew what I was doing I'm not going to take anything back.'
"Hello Kikari." Kenshin said in a low purring voice. 'Its been so long Kikari…too long…you're even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I don't even think beautiful would cover it, your down right drop dead gorgeous.' Kenshin smiled.
"Kenshin…I didn't think you would show up!" Kikari whispered still in a little bit of surprise from his appearance and from the way he looked. 'He's so handsome.' Kikari blushed.
"I didn't think you would, but I guess we were both wrong." Kenshin purred again leaning closer. "I've missed you Kikari…" Kenshin said leaning close to her ear.
Kikari became wide-eyed "I…missed you too Kenshin. Do you still live h-here?" Kikari was losing her words now 'I just pray that I don't screw up' Kikari deiced since she cold look at Kenshin without drooling she played with her finger's and tried to keep her mind off him, even though that was so near impossible…it was.
"No, I live in a different state." Kenshin saw the attention from her left him and she paid more attention to her fingers. 'Not today Kikari…' Kenshin smirked and took his hands and took one of Kikari little silky small one's in each hand, and then kissed each one.
Kikari watched him as he took her hands and kissed them, but he did it without braking eye contact from her eyes. She was in a total trance by him, she couldn't help it and then in a way, she was secretly in enjoying every second. "Me…too."
"Do you want to dance?" Kenshin asked purring again and staring at her with his deep beautiful lavender eyes she always drowned in.
"Ok." Was all Kikari could say before Kenshin lead her onto the floor with tingles still going down her back from his purring voice. At first Kikari was a little surprised and tense so she only watched as Kenshin slid his arms around her tiny waist as she nervously slid her arms around Kenshin's neck. Kikari quickly melted into him as they started dancing to a slow love song.
If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
And even if the sun refuse to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme, you would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need my love, my valentine
"Our first slow song, you remember?" Kenshin asked Kikari as he pulled her closer to him. "Right after I took your first kiss." Kenshin grinned "then you fell asleep while we were dancing." Kenshin's grin widened.
"Yea I remember…" Kikari blushed remembering the times he was talking about.
All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you've give me
You've opened my eyes
And shown me how to love unselfishly
Kikari started to give in a little more and started to lean on Kenshin letting him hold her in his arms again. She didn't know how he did this to her, how she felt so right in little moment like this, but she really didn't want to think about it because if she ruined it she would never forgive herself.
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
And in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time
You're all I need my love, my valentine
Kenshin felt her sigh and allowed him to lead her. Kenshin smirked and lead her outside by going out the back door, which was already open. Kenshin loved holding her and as they danced outside he closed his eyes and melted into the perfect feeling she gave him, he wasn't the least bit surprised that she had grown so beautiful in the last five years. Out of all the girl's he had ever seen, she was the best by far and not just in beauty.
And even if the sun refuse to shine
And even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would have heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my valentine
You're all I need my love, my valentine
Kikari smiled as she felt Kenshin's head laid upon hers. Kenshin smiled to himself as he laid his head on Kikari's as they danced with out the music. He just liked having her so close, and he never did want to let her go.
"But Mya!" Rena begged looking outside at Kikari and Kenshin.
"Ugh, not this again." Mya smacked her forehead.
"I can't go the night without telling her!" Rena begged again.
"Whatever, you ruin her night not me you got it? I play NO part in this!" Mya rolled her eyes as Rena ran over to Kikari and Kenshin.
"Kikari pssss…Kikari!" Rena tried to grab Kikari attention, but ended up getting glared at by Kenshin. "Kikari!" Rena tried one more time.
Kikari let go of Kenshin and looked over at Rena "what?" Kikari hissed
"I need to tell you something!" Rena looked worried as she used her hand to coax Kikari over in the gym.
"I'll be back." Kikari smiled at Kenshin. Kenshin looked hurt and sad for a moment, but quickly shook it off and leaned against the brick wall of the school waiting for Kikari to return.
Kikari ran over to Rena and asked, "What in the hell do you want Rena?" Kikari was upset because Rena ruined her moment with Kenshin.
"Well I just thought you wanted to know…this guy showed up at the dance who is REALLY hott!" Rena smirked "he said he was looking for you. I asked Mya if he was in our class and she said "no", so I just wanted to tell you." Rena grinned, "Are you hiding something Kikari?"
