It Started With A Prank Call

Chapter 6: Complete Silence

Kenshin walked in and sat down beside Megumi and Sanosuke. He watched as Kaoru left the living room and walked to her bedroom. He got up and followed her leaving Sano and Megumi all alone.

Kaoru jumped on her bed and stopped when she saw Kenshin enter.

"What are you doing in here! Get out, you chicken!" Kenshin folded his arms. "Make me, raccoon." Kaoru stood up and walked toward him. She raised her hand ready to slap him, but stopped herself. Kenshin never flinched. He jumped on her bed and closed his eyes. He took off his shoes before he had entered her room though. Kenshin, get off my bed! He shook his head. She ran over and pushed him off.

Kenshin sat up and rubbed his head. "Oww...Miss. Kaoru, that hurt!" They both paused. He had not called her that since...well...you know. Kaoru became instantly furious. How does he always seem to make me so mad! She walked to her mirror and noticed some papers that were falling out of her bookbag. She looked at them. They were the notes that she and Sohjiro had taken earlier. She smiled and regained her normal attitude. She picked them up and put them on her desk. Kenshin was watching this. He stood up and glared.

"You like him?" Kaoru turned around and gasped at his glare. It was if he had become a completely different person while she turned around. She was almost afraid to speak but she managed to get something out. "Uhh...well I'm not sure." He walked out of her room and picked up his shoes...putting them back on.

"What are you doing?"

"What does it look like...I'm leaving, like you told me to." She could sense some hurt in his voice. She wanted to stop him and appolgize, but she didn't have the courage. She watched as he grabbed Sanosuke (who was about to make out with Megumi), and left the hotel. Megumi and Sanosuke saw the anger on his face and didn't say anything. She got up and walked over to Kaoru who was wearing a sorry face.

"What happened?" Kaoru never took her eyes off the door. "I'm not sure exactly." Megumi sat down infront of her. "Well tell me what you do know...what'you say to him?" Kaoru put her hands in her lap. "He asked me...if I like Sohjiro...and I said I'm not sure...and he just walked out of the room." She looks at Megumi.

"I've never seen him mad before...well...altleast not at me."

Kaoru walked into Health class. Kaide was walking around checking the students if they've found a partner yet. She saw Kaoru sit down and walked up to her. Ah Konnichi wa, Ms. Kamiya. "So...have you found a partner yet?"

Kaoru took out the notes. "Yes...Seta-san." Kaide wrote down something on her clipboard. "Thank you,"she said as she made her way toward the rest of the students. For the rest of the class period...all they did was talk about the project.

Kagome and Kayko walked out of the classroom with Megumi and Kaoru following. Megumi looked at Kaoru. "So...your with Seta-san, ha?" Kaoru nodded then paused. "Uhh...no...we're just friends, nothing more." Sanosuke walked up to the girls. He glared at Kaoru. Kaoru noticed. Though she didn't say anything.

"What do you want Sanosuke!" He blinked. "I just wanted to know what the missy said to get Kenshin so bumed out."

Everyone looked at Kaoru. She remembered last night.

Flashback

Kenshin glares at her...more differently then he has even glared before. There was hurt in his eyes. He walks out of the room and grabs Sanosuke, dragging him out of the hotel.

End of Flashback

Kaoru gripped her books. "I...I..." She looked over Sanosuke's shoulder and saw a lock of red hair. She looked at Sanosuke. "I...I don't know ,Sano." Sanosuke looked at her in disbeilef. He took a fish bone out of his pocket and put in his mouth like a cigarette.

"Yeah, whatever." He shrugged it off and walked away. Kayko looked at Kaoru. "What was he talking about?" Kaoru shot a confused glare at herself. "I don't know...really." Kagome wore a disgusted look. Megumi looked at her. "What's wrong, Kagome?" Kagome regained her normal expression. "I'm just wondering...does Sagara-san always have that fishbone in his pocket?" They started to laugh.

Kenshin walked up to his front door and paused. He turned around to face Sanosuke and Aoshi. "What do you say we skip the studying today and just go watch a movie or something?" Sanosuke and Aoshi shrugged in agreement. Kenshin opened the door. The guys dropped their stuff off and drove to the theater. Kenshin walked in (with the guys following). They looked at the selections. Aoshi yawned.

"Let's see..."The doctor who needed medicine"(lame, yes?)." Kenshin and Sanosuke nodded. They paid for their tickets and bought popcorn, candy, and drinks.

When they got in the theater, it was dark. They sat down in the middle of the theater and waited for the movie to start. Sanosuke was one seat away from the edge of the row. they sat in every other seat so they would have a place to put their food when they didn't want to hold it. (No respect for the people without seats, ha?)

Kenshin layed his head back and saw a girl with fairly long black hair. Her eyes were pure black, it was probably like that because of the darkness. Her skin was pale...sorta. She had her hair in a loose ponytail with a lock of hair running down her face on both sides. She noticed him and smiled. Kenshin started to blush. "Sorry..." He put his head up and grabbed some popcorn from the bucket beside him.

He couldn't consentrate on the movie...he'd seen it dozens of times anway. He kept wanting to look back to her, but didn't have the courage.

Suddenly out of nowhere, something hit his head. It came from behind him so he turned around. He wanted to make a ignorant remark but he's stopped himself. He couldn't help but stare into her dark eyes.

"Sorry," she said.

"Huh?" She looked at him with confusion. "Didn't I hit you?" Kenshin suddenly remembered. "Oh, yeah...right, I'ts okay." Just as he was about to turn around ,she asked him something.

"What's your name?"

Kenshin's throat felt clogged. "It's Himura...Himura Kenshin."

She smiled. "Nice to meet you Himura-san. My name is Yukishiro Tomoe." Kenshin blushed. "Nice to meet you as well." Kenshin slowly turned around. He thought about her throughout the entire movie.

Everyone walked out of the theather. The guys dumped their trash and headed for the door. Kenshin paused. Aoshi was behind him so obviously noticed. He looked like he was searching for someone.

"Who ya looking for?" Kenshin ignored him. He finally caught sight of her. She was talking to some of her friends. Kenshin stared for what seemed like forever. Sanosuke grabbed one of his arms and Aoshi grabbed the other, dragged him to the car.

When Kenshin finally realized that he wasn't within distance of Tomoe, he had already been at home. He was sitting on the couch in his living room. He was at his uncle's house...Hajime Seito. The house seemed like a mansion. His living room would be considered the size of an apartment building (width anyway). The walls were lined with pictures of swords and the shinsengumi. Kenshin looked around for Aoshi and Sanosuke. He didn't see them. This made him wonder if he had been dreaming.

He got up and ran to a flight of stairs. At the top, he could hear moaning coming from a room to his left. With no concern about what His uncle's reaction would be, he flew open the door. Seito was on top of a woman, most likely his wife, Tokya. Kenshin almost choked, but wasn't surprised. His uncle has always been like this.

Seito glared at him while fixing his pants. "You little...Don't you know how'da knock!" Kenshin ignored him. The woman smiled at him. "Hello, Kenshin." Kenshin turned away. "Hello, auntie." He focused his attention on his uncle.

"How did I get here?" He looked at the younger boy. "What do you mean, how did you get here?" The rooster boy and the oniwabansyu boy brung you."

"You mean, Sanosuke and Aoshi?" Seito was annoyed. "If you'd excuse me, I have a lady to make attend to!" He pushed Kenshin out of the room and locked the door.

Kenshin ran his fingers through his red hair. "So...I really did go to the movies...and I really did meet Tomoe Yukishiro." He smiled as he thought of her.

Inuyasha walked up beside Kenshin and Yuuske. "Hey, Kenshin, where were you last night?"

"I was at my uncle's." Yuuske chuckled. "Doesn't he have a drinking problem? Why would you be over there?" Kenshin looked at his shoes. "Sano and Aoshi brought me, I guess." Inuyasha wasn't paying attention. "I also saw this girl..."

Yuuske and Inuyasha now listened.

"This girl...who?" Kenshin smiled. "Her name's Tomoe Yukishiro." Yuuske thought for a second. "Tomoe, ha?" Inuyasha started to drool. Kenshin noticed.

"Inuyasha?" He was staring out the window. Yuuske and Kenshin both looked along with him. Two palish girls with long black hair in loose pony tails were walking on the sidewalk. One had brown eyes and the other had black. Kenshin froze. "That's her!" Yuuske looked closer. "That's Tomoe?" There was practically a waterfall of drool coming from Inuyasha's mouth. "Who's her friend...?" Kenshin looked at her closely.

She was with Tomoe at the movies last night. "I think her name's Kikyo something." That name rang through Inuyasha's mind..."Kikyo" Yuuske started to walk away. Kenshin turned around. "Hey, do you think that we could go out there...and talk to them?" Yuuske paused. "Be my guest." Kenshin grabbed Inuyasha and they ran to the sidewalk.

They both froze when they came in close view of the two. Tomoe noticed them. She waved at Kenshin. "Hello, there, Himura-san!" Kikyo looked at Inuyasha. Kenshin walked toward the girls, dragging Inuyasha along. "Hey, Miss. Tomoe." Tomoe glanced at Inuyasha and then back at Kenshin. He noticed and started to interduce them.

"This is Inuyasha." Tomoe nodded to him. "And this is Kikyo." Kikyo and Inuyasha stared at each other. As well did Kenshin and Tomoe. "So, you two go to this school?"

Tomoe looked over at Kikyo. "Uh, no...we just got bored of classes today, so we decided to take a break. Wanna come with us?"

Kenshin and Inuyasha glanced at each other. They nodded and followed the two girls.

It was now the last period of the day. Kaoru sat down beside Misao and waited for Hannya-sensei to take attendance.

He got his clipboard and started calling out names. "Makimachi...here. Kamiya...here. Shinormori...here. Kojiwashu...here. Himura..."no answer. "Himura!" Still no answer. Hannya looks around the arena and spots Kenshin laying down. He walks up to find him asleep.

He bends down close to his ear. "BATTOUSAI!" Kenshin instantely sat up. Giggles and laughter filled the arena. Kenshin rubbed his eyes and sees everyone looking at him. "...What?" He turns his attention to Hannya. Hannya glares at him. "Fall asleep in someone else's class, you brat!" Kenshin returned his glare. He hadn't even realized he'd been asleep. Hannya finished taking attendance and tossed his clipboard to it's normal spot.

Kenshin was dozing off about every ten minutes.

Kaoru followed Misao out of the locker room. "Why was Himura-san falling asleep the entire period? He seemed fine this morining." Kaoru thought to herself. She right...Kenshin was falling asleep the entire period. I wonder what could have made him so tired. Kaoru shrugged it off. Beats me.

"Hey, Kaoru! Wait up!" Kaoru turned in response. "Oh, hey Kagome."

"Hi, did you see how sleepy Himura-san was today?" Kaoru started walking. "Yeah...he must've been up late."

Kagome shook her head. "Kayko overheard Sano, and Aoshi talking. They said that Kenshin and Inuyasha was up all night with two girls." Kaoru paused for a moment, then started walking again. It figures that a guy like Kenshin would be out with girls all night.

"Did you happen to catch their names?" Kagome shook her head again. "Nope, only that they didn't go to this school and they look alike."

"Like twins?"

"No...I don't think so." They arrived at their hotel and walked past the clerk. When they got up the stairs, they found two guys laying down infront of their door. Kaoru recognized them. It was Inuyasha and Kenshin. Kaoru walked over infront of them.

Their faces were pale and sweaty. They looked like if they were to open their eyes, they would vomit. Inuyasha's hands were turning a slight purple and Kenshin had a mark of a bracelet or rope around his wrists. They both looked like they've been tortured.

Kaoru didn't really pay it any mind. "WAKE UP!"

no movement.

"I said...WAKE UP!"

Kagome went close to Inuyasha's face. She put her hand on his forehead and backed away. "He's hot...and I don't mean in the romantic way." Kaoru feels Kenshin head and nodds. "Yeah, they are. Though how'd they get here?" Kagome shrugged. "We better take them to the hospital."

Fortunately, Kenshin and Inuyasha were in the same room. Kaoru sat at Kenshin's side and Kagome at Inuyasha's. She gazed down at him. He was changed into a gown and had an oxygen mask on...so did Kenshin. There was ice tied around their wrists to stop the swelling. IV's ran down both their arms and they lay still.

Kaoru and Kagome make eye contact. They could tell what each other was thinking. Kagome wore a frightened look. "What happened to them?"

Kaoru looked at Kenshin. "I don't know..."

They both turned to face the doctor just arriving in the room. Kagome jumps up anxious. "So...?" The doctor wore a disapointed face. Kaoru froze, not knowing if they were okay. The doctor glanced at both of his patients.

"They're in a coma of a sort. Who...whatever attacked them had to be very strong...or they had a big advantage considering the rope marks on both their wrists."

Kaoru got up and walked beside Kagome, who looked like she was about to faint. "So...how long do you think they'll be like this, doctor?"

"Hmm..." He rubbed his chin. "They can hear you, but they can't really speak. It's best if they just get some rest for now. I'll need them to stay here for further treatment." Kaoru nodded and walked out of the room dragging Kagome. She turned around. "They'll be okay, Kagome." She hesitated, but nodded. They left the hosptial in complete silence.
