Chapter 2
Dr. Himura yawned and stretched, rolling over to check the time; Great Gods! I'm late! Getting out of bed, he rubs his eyes and runs his hands through his red hair. Must have a shower, must have food, hmm, I wonder if I can do both? Nah, that I cannot. He walks to his bathroom and turns the shower on, strips out of his pajama bottoms, and steps into the warm spray with a deep groan of pure bliss.
He walked quickly down to the local coffee shop, walking into the noisy, college atmosphere, to the counter and ordered his usual coffee, double cream, no sugar. The girl behind the counter winks at him and gives him his coffee. He also noticed the phone number written on the lid. He sighs and walks out, walking down the street and into the park, taking the long way to the hospital. This is where he had met her for the first time or more likely ran into her. Those kids that were chasing her did they catch her? Did they or are they still harassing her. .Is she in some type of servitude to them or maybe she is voluntarily with them.
He reached into his pocket and took out "her" silver necklace remembering the time when he ran into her once again.
It had been two weeks since he ran into the dark haired, blue eyed girl. He wondered if she had gotten away…He truly hoped so.
He kept his eyes opened and on the look out for her as he walked this same route every day to school, but never did see her until that one night when he was coming out of the library after a late night of studying. He had his backpack slung over his shoulder and was walking out of the doors when he saw a figure huddled on the last step, leaning up against the railing, trying to keep the wind off. He cautiously walked up and softly spoke to the figure, "There are shelters, please let me guide you to one." The figure looked up and he was staring into the bluest eyes, eyes that he recognized. She got up to leave, but he grabbed her by the arm; "Please, I will not harm you." He looked at her and watched her shiver, noting that all she wore was a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt. "Come, there is a coffee shop just down the road, please let me get you something warm to drink." She stepped back from him and looked him up and down, tilting her head to the side. He noticed how her hair flowed with the movement, coming down around her shoulder, falling to her hips. God, she was beautiful.
"Come I mean you no harm, you are under my protection tonight." "Please, let me treat you to something warm to drink." She smiled, "Okay may I have hot chocolate?" Himura laughed, "Yes, you may have whatever you want." "May I ask your name?" "It's Himura Kenshin." She stood up, graceful like a dancer and bowed, I am Kamiya Kaoru. She gently placed a hand into his and he squeezes and pulls her up to her feet. He smiles down to her and leads her down the street to the coffee shop.
"Hey, Doc!" Kenshin looked up to see Sano Sagara one of the hospital's orderlies, running towards Kenshin. "Dr. Gensai has been trying to page you all morning." Kenshin looks down at his pager and realizes that it was not charged. "Damn!" "Okay, Sano, where is Dr. Gensai right now?" "He's on 4South with that hit and run girl." "Okay, thanks, I'm on my way." Please, let nothing be wrong! Kenshin rans up the steps and through the hospital doors, ducking into an elevator full of visitors and staff. He struggles to put his name badge on, fuming at the clasp as it will not go on right. The elevator opens, stating in its female electronic voice "4th Floor", Kenshin pushes his way out and onto the Ward.
Dr. Gensai looks down at the chart marked "Jane Doe" and shakes his head. He has done everything he could for the girl, it was up to her now. When he was called in to the ER to look at the x-rays, he just shook his head, wondering how a small body could have so many broken bones and still be alive. He signed off on the chart, thinking that he has done everything he could, setting all of her broken bones, using pins and screws to repair her clavicle, and using a plate to fixate her shoulder. He looked at her and turned as the door opened and in walked Dr. Himura. "Dr. Himura, I am glad that we were able to find you." "I am sorry Dr. Gensai, my pager is on the blink." "How is she?" Dr. Gensai looked at the girl and then looked up at Dr. Himura, seeing the compassion and concern in his eyes, I wonder. "She is very weak but so far she has remained stable." Dr. Himura looked at Dr. Gensai and nodded. "Has she regained consciousness?" "No but she did say a few words while in the preoperative room." Dr. Himura looked up and Dr. Gensai looked deeply at Dr Himura and stated "She called for you, she called for Kenshin." Dr. Himura blinked in surprise. "Why would she call my name?" "Yes, that is what I would like to know doctor, she specifically said Kenshin and then she added Himura." Dr. Himura sighed and sat down at the bedside. "I ran into her in the park a few years ago, I did not think she would remember me, Damn, I just remembered myself a few hours ago."
