Chapter two¡Xour little first date
Kaoru pushed the door open into the classroom. Once she entered, everyone¡¦s eyes were set on her. The evil and sweet ones. She tried to ignore them as she sat down in her seat, which was beside Kenshin¡¦s, but he wasn¡¦t here yet.
¡§Hey Kaoru, where¡¦s your cute boyfriend?¡¨ Kaoru smiled up at a brown-haired girl, who was obviously mocking her relationship.
¡§Oh you know Miya,¡¨ Kaoru fluttered her eyes and flipped back her hair, ¡§He was so sweet. Last night he took me out to movies and we had such a great time.¡¨ She motioned for her to lean closer as she whispered into her ear, ¡§He even pulled a little move on me.¡¨
Miya¡¦s eyes widened as she stared back in repulsion. Kaoru smiled sweetly.
¡§See you then,¡¨ Kaoru whispered as Kenshin made an entrance to the class. He rested his lavender eyes on Kaoru and smiled. Kaoru waved to him and patted his seat beside her, telling him to come.
¡§Morning,¡¨ he said softly and kissed her on the cheek, causing another wave of murmur to surface. Kaoru blushed for the first time that day and wondered how long they¡¦re going to keep up this act.
¡§Kenshin,¡¨ she said lightly in his ear.
¡§Hmm?¡¨
¡§I was wondering¡Khow long are we going to keep up this act?¡¨
For a second there she thought she saw a tiny tinge of hurt in his eyes, but they soon diminished when he replaced it with a smile.
¡§Until Megumi stop bothering me I guess. Is that alright with you?¡¨ he asked worriedly. Kaoru¡¦s heart skipped a beat. He was such a caring young man.
¡§Baka, of course it¡¦s fine with me.¡¨ She managed a small smile before the teacher entered the classroom and ordered silence.
¡K*¡K
Kenshin sighed as he put his textbooks in his locker, closing it when Sano¡¦s leaning figure surprised him.
¡§Sano!¡¨
¡§Hey Kenshin,¡¨ he grinned. ¡§Sup?¡¨
He sighed again, ¡§I was thinking about something¡K¡¨
Sano cocked his eyebrow, ¡§Yeah?¡¨
He locked his locker absent mindedly, ¡§I was thinking of asking Kaoru on a date,¡¨ he blushed and added hurriedly, ¡§For acting of course.¡¨
Sano laughed and slapped his back; Kenshin choked and straightened himself, clearing his throat.
¡§You learn really fast dontcha¡¦?¡¨ he smirked.
Kenshin¡¦s face went red and stuttered, ¡§I thought it would be normal for couples to go on a date¡Kand I thought it would be wise to ask for your opinion,¡¨ he snorted.
¡§You¡¦ve got the right guy!¡¨ he leaned in closer and whispered, ¡§Get her out on a romantic movie or something, and that way you can pull a little move on her¡K¡¨
Kenshin cocked his eyebrow. This is certainly not working¡K
¡§I think that would be inappropriate Sano. Kaoru wouldn¡¦t like that.¡¨ Kenshin replied stiffly.
The taller man blinked.
¡§It¡¦s too fast.¡¨
¡§No it isn¡¦t.¡¨
¡§It is.¡¨
¡§It¡¦s not.¡¨
¡§Sano¡Kit is!¡¨
¡§It is NOT!¡¨
¡§Of course it is!¡¨
¡§I told you it¡¦s not!¡¨
¡§Never mind,¡¨ Kenshin slapped his forehead as Sano sighed.
¡K*¡K
Kaoru laughed as she went down the hallway with Misao, talking about the latest news in the grades.
¡§Oh my god! Seriously you mean it?¡¨ Kaoru giggled.
¡§Yup! Check the school paper if you don¡¦t believe me,¡¨ Misao smiled and waved her hand in the air, ¡§I mean it!¡¨
¡§Okay okay I believe you.¡¨ Kaoru turned her attention back onto walking as she scanned over the gossiping people, pointing and whispering into each other¡¦s ears. She got used to them since yesterday. She kept on walking as a shadow loomed over her.
¡§Kaoru!¡¨
Kaoru found a panting, red-faced looking Kenshin staring right back at her, trying to get the words out of his mouth as he swallowed and calmed down.
¡§Kenshin? What happened?¡¨ Kaoru asked worriedly, ¡§You look sick,¡¨ she pointed out and touched his forehead tenderly, Kenshin¡¦s face got even redder, if possible.
¡§I-I¡¦m fine,¡¨
Kaoru pulled back, ¡§You sure?¡¨
The redhead then murmured something, which Kaoru couldn¡¦t catch and asked him to repeat again.
¡§Never mind. Kaoru I- we need to talk.¡¨ Kenshin pulled her into the nearest room that turned out to be an art room. Kenshin closed the curtains and Kaoru raised her eyebrow delicately.
¡§Kenshin, may I ask what are you doing?¡¨
¡§Well, since we¡¦ve been acting that we¡¦re a couple¡K¡¨ he turned to face her fully, ¡§Would it be appropriate if I asked you out on a date?¡¨
Kaoru froze. Her bottom lip trembled as she asked in a small voice, ¡§What?¡¨
¡§Will you go out on a date with me? Like for acting?¡¨ Kenshin waited for her answer as his eyes scanned over the exit.
A wave of heat washed over Kaoru slowly. There she was, standing in front of the most famous redhead in all of senior high. Oh, and let¡¦s not forget, they were suppose to be going out!
Stop it Kamiya! Remember you¡¦re only helping him because he asked you to. Let¡¦s not get too carried away. Kaoru thought to herself inwardly.
¡§Yes yes¡K¡¨ she groaned.
¡§What?¡¨ Kenshin asked.
¡§Eh? Nothing!¡¨ Kaoru shook her head abruptly, ¡§Yes I¡¦ll go out with you!¡¨
Kenshin¡¦s eyes widened as a smile touched his lips, ¡§Really?¡¨
¡§Hai,¡¨ Kaoru nodded fervently.
¡§Kaoru¡K¡¨ Kenshin¡¦s eyes bore into her as she stood on weak legs. Why is she feeling like this?
Kaoru was about to open her mouth when suddenly screams could be heard behind them. Kenshin and Kaoru immediately shot their heads up towards the source of the noise and gasped. The door was half opened, as Misao laughed nervously atop of Yahiko, who was desperately trying to get away from the dying Sano beneath.
¡§Misao?! And you guys¡Kwhat are you doing here?!¡¨
¡§Oops¡K¡¨
¡K*¡K
Kaoru looked at herself in front of the mirror. She smiled sweetly. Perfect. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans with a creamy white strap belt hanging loosely around her slim waist, and a light blue tank top with the jean jacket.
¡§Pull yourself together Kaoru,¡¨ she said to herself as the doorbell rang.
¡§Here we go¡Kcoming!¡¨ she ran over to the door and opened it with her racing heart. What she saw completely made her anesthetized.
¡§Kaoru,¡¨ Kenshin breathed in as he stared at her, dumb folded. Because standing in front of him was an angel. His heart pounded so loudly he wondered if she had heard it.
¡§Kenshin¡Kyou look,¡¨ Kaoru tried to find the right word to describe such a charming young man. ¡§Spectacular.¡¨ She smiled.
¡§And you,¡¨ Kenshin pulled out a banquette of flowers from behind, ¡§Breathtaking.¡¨
¡§Kenshin!¡¨ Kaoru giggled, as she smelled the flowers in her hand, ¡§You know you don¡¦t have to get me anything.¡¨
¡§What kind of boyfriend would that be?¡¨ he chuckled lightly and reached out his hand, waiting. ¡§Shall we?¡¨
¡K*¡K
Kaoru stirred the milkshake on the glass table, eyes focusing.
Kenshin sat back in the comfy chair and sighed, eyes closing.
¡§Kenshin¡K¡¨
¡§Hmm?¡¨ he propped one of his eyes open lazily.
¡§I was thinking of something¡K¡¨ she put the spoon aside and took the cup in her hands.
¡§What is it?¡¨ Kenshin found a better position as he practically leaned himself over the table and took her fragile hands in his, making Kaoru blush. She on the other hand played the auburn strands of hair that were falling in front of his eyes and smiled.
¡§Kenshin no baka¡K¡¨
Kenshin smiled softly, ¡§Whatever you say koishii.¡¨
¡§Mou! Kaoru averted her eyes from his lavender ones.
¡§Ne¡Kdo you like anyone in our school?¡¨ she asked uncertainly.
¡§Oro?¡¨ Kenshin seemed surprised to hear this and he squeezed her hand.
¡§Yeah¡Kone,¡¨
¡§Who?¡¨ A tinge of hurt draped across her features for a mere second.
¡§Just¡Ksomeone.¡¨ He looked out the window onto the busy streets outside. Kaoru¡¦s spirits fell. Of course, how could someone like Kenshin like her? There are tons of girls prettier, smarter and flirtier. Why her?
¡§I see¡K¡¨ Kaoru placed the cup near her mouth when suddenly her azure eyes widened. ¡§Megumi!¡¨ she choked.
¡§Oro!¡¨ Kenshin followed her gaze to found a not so pleased Megumi, standing outside the doorway. ¡§What is she doing here?!¡¨
Megumi shrugged off her coat and strode to their table, practically banging the clothing on the glass. Kaoru¡¦s milkshake fell.
¡§My¡Kmy milkshake,¡¨ Kaoru swallowed.
¡§Who is that pretty girl Ken-san?¡¨ Megumi roared.
¡§She¡¦s my girlfriend Megumi! Show some respect!¡¨ Kenshin grabbed Kaoru by her waist and placed her on his lap, wrapping his arms around her. Kaoru blushed at his sudden action.
Tears threatened to fall, Megumi¡¦s breathing quickened. ¡§Oh really? Well if she really is your precious girlfriend, why doesn¡¦t she say anything?¡¨ she challenged.
Kaoru¡¦s heart froze. She caught a glimpse of Kenshin¡¦s lavender eyes. She saw a hint of¡Khope?
