Reuku: Ah! My favorite little jerk! How could I forget you? You are just adorable with your little insults and your colorful vocabulary! Guess what? I've learned to lock away my feelings so no matter what you say, I'll just brush it off my shoulder. Sticks and stones, chap.
3 minutes later: Who's Reuku? Oh well.
Previously on Silver Bands:
"Very nice." Aoshi said quietly. (A.N. O.O HE TALKS!)
"Hey let's go get some lunch." Kenshin suggested.
"I know! Let's go to the Akabeko!" Megumi cheered.
They arrived at the restaurant and ordered the same meal as New Year's Eve three years ago.
The couple/band enjoyed their meals but were soon interrupted by an unwanted guest.
"Well well...if it isn't Ken-koshii!" The evil and malicious Tomoe stood at the table grinning down at the redheaded man.
'Uh-oh' the gumi all thought in unison.
Chapter 2: At All Costs"What a surprise, Tomoe." Kaoru said sarcastically without looking up from her position leaning against Kenshin under his left arm.
"Hmmm. I get the feeling you're still mad at me." Tomoe said as she leaned on the table. She beat her lashes and smiled at Kenshin. "We can put our pasts behind us, can't we? Bygones?"
"Nope. You tried to ruin our friendship, and I can't forgive you." Kenshin said as he pushed her arm of the table gently.
"Humph! You'll live to regret this Kenshin Shinta Himura! I'll make sure of it! My new boyfriend will hear about this!" She stormed off steaming.
"Can you believe her! Amazing! What a girl. Always needing to make a scene. Honestly how can you go up to your ex-boyfriend and ask him back when you already have a guy?" Kaoru laughed. Everyone else laughed too.
"What a ho! I wonder who she's dating?" Misao laughed half interested.
"Who cares? As long as it's not my Kenshin or any of my guy-friends I'm happy." Kaoru giggled as she wrapped her arms around Kenshin's arm.
"Right!" Everyone cheered.
"Ummm…excuse me? I'm a fan. Aren't you guys "Bleeding Dragons"? You are my favorite band! Can I have your autographs?" A young girl with long brown hair asked holding up the CD case that the gumi recognized as their first CD.
"Sure! Anything for a fan!" Kaoru said smiling. She took the CD and signed it. Then she handed it over and the others signed.
"Thanks! I just love you guys!" The young girl ran off yelling for her mom to see.
Kaoru giggled, "I'm so happy to see we're known. Well, I need to work on some more songs before we think about recording our second CD. Hmmm…I did think of a name for it, though. How about 'Living To Fly'?"
Ayomi smiled and mused it over in her head, "I like it."
The others agreed and the food came. They all dug in and ate till their hearts content.
Kaoru and Kenshin walked to class because the day was glorious. Kaoru hung on Kenshin's shoulder and Kenshin was smiling happily.
"I am thinking of a new song, but it is a little different. I was thinking of a slow ballad with a punk twist. What do you think?" Kaoru looked up at her boyfriend.
"Coolie. Sounds fun. I trust your judgment." Kenshin smiled down at his woman.
"Ah…Good afternoon class!" Kaoru and Kenshin's over enthusiastic teacher bubbled. "Hand in your homework and open your books to chapter eight, 'Tale Of The Bamboo Cutter.'"
"This is one of my favorite legends! It's amazing." Kaoru said excitedly.
"Cool." Kenshin said as he sat down next to her.
Class flew by and soon it was over. Kaoru gathered her things and woke Kenshin up. He had fallen asleep in the middle of class.
"Wha?" Kenshin asked sleepily. He noticed that the class was standing up and did the same.
Kaoru was inside her room working on some songs and strumming her guitar to make the notes.
"Kenshin! Come listen to this!" She yelled through the doorway to the room, across the hall, with its door open. Kenshin came out of his room and walked into Kaoru's.
She strummed the guitar and started singing in her sweet voice:
Mmm-hmmm
Crystal tears of hate fall on the floor
Around a moonlit door
Wind singing "nevermore"
As I open the closet
Inside a chest of great remorse
I open the lock and throw your memory in
Nevermore! I will think of you
Nevermore
You will never darken my door
With your arrogant form
Nevermore! I won't think of you anymore!
As I turn the lock
I lock your memory inside
Mmm-hmm
Nevermore will you run through my mind
Nevermore will you own my dreams
You will never be thought of againSo goodbye forevermore
My nightmare of the real world
Kaoru smiled at Kenshin as she finished. Kenshin looked at her and grinned. "Hmm…is the title "Nevermore"? It is awesome."
Kaoru giggled, "Yes, it is titled 'Nevermore'. Also I wrote it for you to sing on the CD. Maybe you could dedicate it to little miss jealous."
Kenshin grinned, "Awesome that you want me to sing in the CD as more than backup, and the song rules for getting back at Tomoe."
Kaoru cheered and hugged him. They got up and went downstairs for dinner.
Hiko looked up from his big lawyer papers to acknowledge their presence.
"So how was your day?" He asked as he flipped through the papers.
"Fine." Kenshin and Kaoru answered together. Kaoru looked at her food and stopped as she almost took a bite.
"Umm…Kenshin? There is shrimp in this." Kaoru said nervously.
Kenshin stood abruptly and ran to his girlfriend's side. "Crap! Dad! Kaoru is highly allergic to shrimp!"
Hiko looked up and rushed the plate away. "Get the cooks out here now!" he bellowed.
Three men dressed in white outfits ran out of the kitchen and lined up in front of Hiko.
"Which one of you put shrimp in Kaoru's dish?" He said in a calm tone.
A small Italian stepped forward and said with a heavy accent, "Yes, monsieur, I was the one in charge of the shrimp."
Hiko exploded. "Were you not aware how allergic Kaoru is to the shrimp! You should be fired!"
"B-b-but Monsieur, I did not have an idea! I'm very truly sorry! Please monsieur!" The Italian begged for fear of his job.
Kaoru spared the poor man. "Now, now Hiko. I caught it and didn't eat any so let's just forgive him. I'm sure he didn't mean to."
"Ah thank you, Madam!" The Italian cheered, kissed her hand, and started cheering in Italian.
"You are too soft, Weasel. That man tried to kill you!" Hiko stated.
Kaoru shook her head. "He didn't know I was allergic. Forgiveness is the best thing he should get. Unlike you, who rules with fear, I rule with kindness."
Kenshin smiled and kissed her cheek, "And that's why I love you."
Kaoru smiled and sent the food back with the dancing Italian. "But please, this time don't place shrimp in it."
"Wonderful!" They all exclaimed as they finally dug into their delicious food.
Outside the mansion:
"You twit! You almost got caught! I told you to watch yourself!" A young woman dressed in a long black dress and a black cloak yelled at the man she shook furiously.
"Look lady, I told you! The chick has a strangely acute sense! The shrimp I placed in her food was ground to dust! She shouldn't have seen it!" The small Italian man said in a Brooklyn New York accent.
"Curses! She lives my life a day more. Hear me now, Kaoru. Enjoy your perfect life while you can! I will get what rightfully belongs to me at any costs! Even if by murder!" She shook her fist at the illuminated mansion where her arch rival stayed happily, unaware of the threat.
With Kaoru and Kenshin:
"Achoo! Achoo!" Kaoru sneezed. Kenshin laughed.
"Two unexpected sneezes mean someone is plotting your demise!" Kenshin joked. Little did he know that it was no joke.
Th-th-that's all folks! This chapter is fineto! All done! Tell me what ya think! Go on…push that purple button…ya knows ya wants ta!
