Meeting Him
My name is Kaoru Kamiya. I am a reporter for the local news. Today I got an assignment. It was to interview a man in a assulym. I was a bit afraid at first, but I thought it might be an adventure. I always thought of interviews this way.
I have been with Channel 18 for two years and I am almost the top reporter. Except for my friend Sanosuke. For some reason his goofiness gives ratings, but he knows how to act in the face of sorrow.
Looking up at the building that I would soon enter I gave a gulp. I was scared no doubt. Aoshi, who was my partner, had failed to get anything out of the man. That made me afraid. Aoshi was not the type to fail.
I listened to my heels click on the pavement. Closed at my chest was a binder. A maroon binder that I had had forever. It had brought me good luck. That and the indigo ribbon I wore. These were the best times to wear it. When I was scared of an interview.
Letting go of my breath I examined the place. It was dull and grey. Not much worth looking at. There were sounds coming from it though and that made me a bit leery. Nonetheless I comtinued to listen to my heels click on the pavement bellow me as I pushed the door open. Again I gulped as a women came to me with a grin." You must be Kamiya-san. I was expecting you. Come I will lead you to him," the women was kind and I looked at the many doors. A few cells. And people that looked dazed and shaky. It made me that way.
Then I was lead to a hallway. It was white. All white. And there were several doors there. There was one at the end marked seven and that was wear I was headed. The women looked at me for a second and then stopped me a few feet from the door." I will ask you to give me a few of your items miss. Any jewelry, cell phones or pagers. He doesn't seem to like them. I haven't figured out why yet," the women said. I looked at her, handing my engagment ring and necklace to her. I then took out my cell phone. She put them in a basket and moved out of my way after pressing a button." You are welcome to go in miss. I will be at the end of the hallway to escort you out," she told me. I gave her a nod and removed my shoes in courtesy.
I opened the door. A steam of light poured on me. the whole room was white, minus a few pieces of simple furniture. I couldn't find the man for a moment. Then I saw him sitting againest a wall with the blanket which was from the torn bed, residing over him. I stepped in and shut the door. I could hear his heavy breaths. He had seen me I'm sure. He just wasn't talking. Then I wondered, how was Aoshi scared of him. He was a runt. He was short and thin. He was huddled and almost scared loooking. Then I saw why. He peered at me. Those eyes that looked at me were like they were covered in honey. It was also strange.
Stepping a bit closer I was able to exam the room. There was a bed that was torn at. A dresser holding an uneaten lunch, a mirror that was small hanging on the wall. And a board full of pictures that seemed to be linked by string." Hello I am Kaoru Kamiya," I said trying to not sound to rude. He didn;t answer." Aren't you going to eat?" I asked. He shook his head and I examined him. His arms strecthed over his knees and his hands, which were together a bit looked a bit strange. They looked like they were clawed at by nails. The ends of his sleeves were also torn and slightly pink. His feet were bare and covering one another. His hair was this vibrant red color. Almost a coppery in the light. It covered nost of his face. The left side more than the right. I didn't mind.
Sitting down on the bed I looked at him. His eyes followed me. I was still scared at them but acted as though I was not." I came to ask a few qeustions, would you mind telling me anything?" I asked. He shook his head incinuating I could. I thought so and opened the binder. That was when he stood. He looked at me and walked over. He wasn't that tall at all. The man actually looked at the simulairty to a girl.
I watched him come over and kneel to me. His eyes looked at my face for a moment. I knew he was trying to remember it. I excepted that. Then he looked to the binder. He gave a strange look as my pen tapped the paper. " A reporter. This one willl try to be knid to a lady, that I will," he said. The voice was raspy. Like he hadn't spoke in some time.
" Okay, could you start with your name?" I asked. He didn't react to much to the question but went back to his spot pulling the cover over his head.
" I am Kenshin Shinta Himura Kaoru-dono," he said. He remembered my name and was kind to me.
" Oh don't flatter, just call me Kaoru," I said to him and gave a smile." Let us start,"
A/N: That is all I am starting with. I hope ya like.Tell me what you think. Like I said total spur of the moment. I don't know if it will continue but I hope. Maybe a few reviews will make me continue. KenSan out!
