-Kaoru's pov.-

Ever since I was a freshmen in high school I had a crush on this one guy and I never dreamed of him liking me back, of course it took some time before he told me he liked me and then we started going out. How we met was by our friends they introduced us to each other. Even though he was good looking I thought he was going to be a spoiled perverted jerk but he wasn't and on that day we learned we had a lot of things in common and we hit it off. Since then we learned each others dislikes and likes and we always hung out with other friends that is, sometimes just the two of us we'd hang or play video games. Ya I'm not one of those girly girl girls..did that make sense?

Well anyways a year later he asked me if I wanted to go too the beach with him and so I happily agreed. First I thought we were going with other friends but it turned out it was just me and him and at that time he didn't really talk much and I think I saw him blushing and this was starting to get to me so I asked him if he was okay and then he sat me down near the ocean as the sun was setting and then he told me he was in love with me. That day was the happiest day of my life and I told him I loved him too.

And for two years we have been together. Today is the last day of summer vacation and our last year of high school because I am a senior! I also get to see my very best friend, Enishi Yukishiro, who usually goes to America too visit his sister, Tomoe Yukishiro. But I miss him dearly and I can't wait too see him! Well who wouldn't miss someone they loved deeply? Yes Enishi is my boyfriend. I stop day dreaming as my mother calls me from downstairs. As I got down I found Misao, my little sister, waiting for me.

"Let's go Kaoru!" she says with some files of paper in her hands.

"Where are we going?" I asked confused.

"Remember we have to turn in our registrations for school. Duh!" I hit my self on the forehead. How could I have forgotten? I quickly went back upstairs and changed, after that I drove with Misao too school. As we got out of the car I saw one of my other close friends Sano coming over along with Megumi and Aoshi my older brother. Wait a minute what was Aoshi doing here? Shouldn't he be working?

"Aoshi what are you doing here?" he sighed.

"Apparently Sano got his drivers license taken away and the only person that was close too his house was me."

"Ahaha! You just got your license last year and you lost it already? How pathetic."

"Watch it Jou-chan or your license is going to mysteriously disappear!" I folded my arms and snickered.

"You wouldn't dare!" Sano grinned. Aoshi gave a serious look at Sano who sweat dropped.

"Come on Aoshi! You know I was just kidding!" Aoshi was always like that. Always protective of me. But I can't blame him. Ever since we were little our father was abusive and drank a lot. Mostly he abused me because I looked like my mother more then anyone else and she always tried to stop him from drinking but it only made him worse. One day it went too far. I was alone in the house when my father came home and he was very drunk stressed about work. At that time I was a sophomore. The mistake that I did was I tried calming him down and taking the bottle of sake away from him. He had gone over board and tried to kill me. But I was saved because Enishi was on his way too my house and when he heard screaming he quickly ran inside and knocked out my father. I couldn't remember much because father had knocked me out and I received a wound on my stomach. Enishi quickly called an ambulance and then called my family and told them what had happened. After that my mother divorced father and we moved too another place.

Ever since then Aoshi protected me from boys except for Enishi. He trusted him and was very grateful for saving me. It took some time for Aoshi too trust Sano when I first met him. Later on they became good friends just like Enishi. I smiled at my brother.

"Okay guys! Let's go! Cause I want too go home!" Misao said impatiently. As we walked up too the office I asked Sano to turn in my registration for me and wondered off around the school. I went to the dojo room and as I was about too open the door the door opened. There a guy with red hair and amber eyes stood in front of the door. I looked more of his features and noticed his hair was tied in a high pony tail just like mine. Although he was an inch taller than me and short for a guy's height he was good looking.

"Ah..Gomen-nasai." He said and moved out of the way.

"Its okay." I smiled at him as he smiled back. ", Are you lost?" I asked bluntly.

"Oh no. I'm actually just checking out the dojo. I'm a new student. I'm guessing your from this school?" I nodded. ", I'm Himura Kenshin."

"I'm Kamiya Kaoru." I bowed too him politely. ", So you like sparing?" I said pointing to his sword he was carrying.

"Yes I do."

"You must be experienced since you are carrying a real sword." He looked at me surprised.

"I am. You seem too know about swordsmanship. Do you spar also?"

"Yes. I love too spar."

"That's cool. I never knew girls liked to spar." I smirked.

"Ya. Me and my sister are different. We're not the cheerleader girly girls. We're kind of tomboyish."

"I see." He said with a chuckle. ", So how long have you been sparing?"

"About eleven years."

" Wow. You must be experienced too." I noticed he kept on staring at me.

"Is there something on my face?" Himura-san grinned.

"No. Its not that. I've never seen a Japanese girl with blue eyes. Are you wearing contacts?"

"No. My mother is half Japanese and half American. I have the same eyes as she does."

"I see. I think it suits you. You look pretty." I blushed and thanked him silently.

" What about your hair and eyes?" well come on his hair was red and his eyes were amber! That was not normal but he did look hot with it…well I guess its not weird I mean Enishi has white hair..or is it silver? Wha-what the heck am I doing?

"My hair and eyes are natural also." I blushed looking down at the ground. I looked over too my right and found Misao calling me and looked back at Himura-san. ", I believe I must leave now. I hope you like are school Himura-san. See you tomorrow." I bowed as he bowed back and then left. As I went over too the group Misao and Megumi were smiling big.

"Who was the hottie Kaoru?" Megumi said with a grin.

"He's a new student. His name is Himura Kenshin."

"I see. Oh ya by the way Enishi called me." I smiled with joy.

"Really? What did he say?"

"He tried calling you but the phone was always busy." I sweat dropped.

"That would be my mom. Apparently she is seeing this guy. His name is Kouji."

"That's nice. Well anyways Enishi said he would be arriving tomorrow at 12:00AM"

"Oh that's great! Then he can make it too school then! Oh I can't wait too see him!" I hugged Megumi who laughed. My sister smiled at me. A little later on we all went our separate ways and Misao and I went back home. I went into the kitchen to help mom with dinner and boy did it smell good.

"So. When is Enishi coming back Kaoru?"

"Tomorrow!" I rejoiced.

"That's good. Misao told me that Aoshi was with you guys also. Do you know when he's coming home?"

"No. You want me to call him?"

"No. I'll do it." Okaa-san got up and got the phone. She sat back down and waited for a while.

"Ne ne-san? Is Himura single?"

"I don't know? Why don't you ask him tomorrow?" I grinned.

"ha..thats okay. I hope Enishi brings something good from America." Okaa-san put the phone down and began to eat her food.

"When is Aoshi off?"

"He's on his way. Misao can you prepare a plate for him?" Misao nodded and got up. ", Speaking of jobs how is your jobs?"

"heh heh! If they never hired me they would have lost their business. Not the restaurant is in better hands!" I said grinning.

"I'm doing well on my job too. They're giving me a raise."

"For baby sitting? Ha!"

"Shut up!"

"Heh." As Aoshi came home we talked more about are day and also of other stuff and news. After dinner I went upstairs, took a bath and lay on my bed staring at the ceiling. Hopefully this year will be a great year. Although I don't want to go back too school. But I want tomorrow already. Eh..whatever. I go under the blanket and close my eyes waiting for sleep to take over me.
