Someone was asking why Kaoru thinks the letter is for her even though she knows that it is not for her because the letter was really old. Remember she was arguing with herself if she is going to read it or not. Well, Kaoru was just making excuses to herself because she was really curious with it and another reason is I can't tell you why. You have to wait for the future chapters.
Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, I can only dream for it to be mine.
Chapter 3:
She really didn't really know what came up to her that she decided to write him back. It was something she can't explain.
She was frustrated because she didn't know what to write.
"Ahhhh!" she shouted as she crumpled another piece of paper and threw it on the floor along with other papers she crumpled. The last paper she crumpled was her 50th letter she didn't finish because she doesn't like it or she thinks it is weird.
'Ok this is the last time I'm doing it all over again and if I throw this again, I'll just have to give up.'
She began writing again.
'Ummm… how will I begin this?'
Dear Kenshin,
Hello! My name is Kaoru Kamiya and you probably don't know me at all. I am writing you this letter because I saw one of your letters inside the drawer of my recently bought table. I'm really sorry that I read it but out of curiosity, I read it. I hope that you can forgive me. I just wanted to know who owns the letter.
Can I comment on your letter? I know that it is really none of my concern and I should be minding my own business but I was really touched by your letter. Whomever the letter is for is really lucky to have someone like you to like her. If it were for me, I would really return your love for when I read it I felt like I am in love with the sender. I know you might think that I am really desperate in finding love but I don't know why I am writing you this letter. I know I am really foolish for doing this.
Sincerely yours,
Kaoru Kamiya
"Whew! I'm done." Exclaimed Kaoru. When she was ready to send it and write the address, realization struck her. There is no address in the letter from the sender. All her hard work in making that letter were nothing.
But then she could ask the owner if he knows this Kenshin Himura and his whereabouts. Maybe he could even give her a clue to who is this guy whom she never met but felt attracted to. It is like there's a magnet that makes her drawn to this man.
She decided that it is best thing to do to ask the owner of the antique shop about him. It is worth trying anyway what is there to loose in just trying.
She then placed her letter in the drawer so that it would not get lost.
She got up from the chair and went to her closet. She changes to her regular pants and shirt. It didn't took her long enough to change because she was not the type of girl who cares all about her physical appearance is. She is not vain and she certainly hat girls who are vain.
She went outside and went inside the car. She started the engine and not long after she already started driving towards the antique shop.
When she arrived she saw the owner and approached him.
"What can I do for you Miss Kamiya?" said the old man.
"Well, I wanted to ask you about this guy named Kenshin Himura. Do you know anything about him?" asked Kaoru while playing with her fingers.
"Oh him… Well I think he owns the desk you just bought. Why do you ask?"
"Well I saw one of his letter in one of the drawers of the table. Do you know where he is now?"
"Well I think it is impossible because he died long time ago. If I am correct I think he died around 800 years ago. He is the first owner of that table."
Kaoru was disappointed to know that he died long time ago but curious as she is, she continued to ask questions.
"Um okay. But can you tell me something about him if you happen to know something?"
"I don't know much of him but I guess I have to tell you everything I know because you have to know the history of that table.
Well, kenshin is a man respected by all people in his village. He is rich, kind and handsome as the girls always say. He was the most eligible bachelor of his town at that time and most women sought after him. But his heart was already long taken by an ordinary girl. At that time, falling in love with a person lower than you class was an embarrassment. The girl loves him very much but she was oblivious to his feelings since he would not show it to everyone since it was not allowed. He decided to tell her about his feelings to her through a letter so that no one will know. Some said that the girl denied him and told him that she did not love him in order to save him from any embarrassment. Some said that she killed herself because of the mistake she did of denying his love. I don't really know what happened to Kenshin but they said he committed suicide just like what she did or he was killed by some of his enemy who were jealous of him. But these are just some rumors. We really don't know what happened to them."
Kaoru realize that the letter she found was for his lover. A part of Kaoru felt happy that she knew something about Kenshin but a part of her felt sorry for him.
She then said to the owner, "Thank you very much mister for your time."
"You're welcome." He replied.
She went out the shop and went inside her car and headed back home.
---
When she left the owner was thinking about something. 'Did she said she has the letter? But that's impossible.' He thought.
---
When Kaoru arrived, she heard her phone rang. She went inside her living room and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kaoru this is Misao. I've been calling you since a while ago and nobody answered. Where were you?" asked Misao. Misao, being her bestfriend, is always concern about Kaoru. She was really a good friend.
"Oh sorry Misao. I went out the house and decided to go to the park for some fresh air." She lied. She doesn't want to tell Misao that she went out to go to the antique shop, she knew that she would certainly be mad and she promised Misao that she would not go back there.
"So how was your date with Aoshi? Tell me everthing." She continued and decided to change the topic. She knew Misao is excited to tell her about the date and she wouldn't stop blabbering about what happened.
'I wonder what does Misao see in Aoshi. I guess that opposites do really attract.'
As Kaoru guessed Misao was blabbering about her date with Aoshi and how handsome and perfect he is. Their talk on the phone lasted for 5 hours, which made Kaoru really tired. She then went to her bed directly and forgot to brush her teeth and take a half bath. She didn't even change her clothes.
-----------------
Phew! I'm done…
For those of you who asked if Kenshin is real. Well, Kenshin would definitely be real. How will kenshin and kaoru interact if kenshin is not real? But this story will be a bit supernatural.
