"Damn it! I'm so stupid!" Kaoru wanted to beat someone or something into a bloody pulp.
After a few minutes of frustration she mollified herself and swept a dirtied step before sitting down on the bottom of the stairs. She'd just wait for a while. She started humming a tune to keep her preoccupied. After an hour of humming tunes though, she'd just about had it. A couple of people came and went, but none were Sano.
Later
Kaoru was drifting off to sleep on the step, closing her eyes, but she heard a voice calling her name. "Kaoru." She wanted the irritating voice calling her name to go away, however she felt a faint tap on her shoulder. "Miss Kaoru?"
She opened her eyes. A familiar face with violet eyes and flaming red hair came into view. The irritating voice belonged to, "Kenshin? What are you doing here?" She was surprised from his sudden appearance but pleasantly surprised now that she knew it was Kenshin.
"Well…I kind of live here. And you? You don't live here too, do you?" asked the equally surprised redhead.
"No, I got locked out of someone's apartment. I've been waiting for my jerk of a friend, Sano."
"That's terrible." Kenshin thought for a second before he inquired, "Well, I wouldn't mind if you stay with me until your friend arrives. Is that alright with you?"
Excited, Kaoru responded, "Really? I'd love it! I wouldn't have to sit out here anymore." His lips lifted into a light smile at Kaoru's eagerness. "So which floor do you live on?"
