Kaoru's Report
I walked out of the building with a triumpted smile slithering on my face. I had for once in my life done something that Aoshi couldn't. To anyone else it would seem routine, but to me this was pure gold.
I stepped to our car. We had to share because thecompany had a bit of a low budget. Aoshi was sitting in the passenger seat going over previous information, or what we were going to put on tonight. I walked up opening the door and looking in with that smile." I got it," I said in a mocking tone. Aoshi rolled his icy blue eyes acting as though nothing happened. I however knew that this was a dent in his pride." Well what are you going to say?" I asked and he looked at me.
Twirling his finger in the air he said," Woop-de-do," I laughed inside. He was jealous I think. Well hard to tell. He's always a bit of a stone.
" Okay, well better get this back to Yukishiro-san right," I said and I saw Aoshi looking at his hand that still held the bite mark from yesterday." Don't tell me that your still mad at him," I said starting the car. He looked to me with a scowl.
" Mad? Yes I'm still mad. The guy bit me Kaoru, get that into your thick skull. I know that you would be mad too," I shrugged it off as I watched him turn to his business.
" You know, the guy isn't that bad. I'd say more traumatized than anything else to tell you the truth," Aoshi again stared at me.
" So now your taking crazy's side are you?" and I gave Aoshi the most sour look I could muster up. He didn't seemed to fazed, however, anyone knew when I gave this face I was offended.
" He is not crazy. He is just scared," Aoshi was trying to throw his hands in the air. Blocked by the roof of course. I found it a bit funny. He was acting as though I were the one that should be locked up and I ignored it. We started to the highway and I turned on the radio. The first thing to come out of Aoshi's mouth was," Turn it off," I looked to him and then to the road. I was going to act like he never said a word. I could feel Aoshi give me his chilling glare, but i didn't care I just looked ahead." What are you trying to prove Kaoru? That you can beat me or something?" he asked. I kept my face cold and then strated to talk.
" I think that I am no higher than any man, sane or not, on this Earth," I said and then closed my mouth before it got me in trouble.
I could hear the faint sound of laughter from Aoshi, though covered by the radio. What I was most thankful for was the fact our news station was close to the assylum. I stopped the car and looked at Aoshi who was staring out the window as Misao walked by. When I saw and said some girl Misao, my mind went blank. How though could I forget our genki friend is what I wondered. She started to walk up to the car and I got out." Hey Misao," I said cheerily. I could see she was waiting for Aoshi. She gave me but a glance of recognition.
I looked ahead to our News building. It was in a strange location a bit in the woods. It was a five story building that was surrounded in a lot of shrubbery.It made it look nice though. I stood and watched as the clouds rolled by. Aoshi was speaking with Misaowhich rarely ever happened. She was the weather person and actually, very popular for who she was. The times he talked to her is if she was forcing him to talk. Leave it to Misao to see people's troubles.
I knew that she would be talking to him for a very long time and strated to walk in. I needed to get the report to Enishi as quickly as I could. He was expecting it. Fiance' or not, I still had to obey his orders,I didn't want to get fired.
I stepped into the white lobby. There was a receptionist which was Megumi Takani. My friend. Just about everyone here was."How did the interview with the psycho go Kao. He didn't bite you did he?" I gave a bit of a scowl. That, however was all anybody knew him by and I excepted it.
" No Megumi. He was a very gentle soul," i said and started to walk past and then stopped." Oh, is Enishi in his office perchance. I need to get this report to him," Megumi looked at a calender. She also managed Enishi's schedule which was hectic at times.
" Shockingly Kaoru he is, but you better hurry. He has a meeting in thirty minutes," I gave her a thank you and walked up the stairs. I was doing exercise. People might have thought it was crazy because we did have a working elevator but I really didn't care.
Finally I made it to the top floor and walked to Enishi's office. There was a young man with a smile watching the door. His name is Soujiro. Again a friend, though he does scare me with that plastered smile of him." Hello Kamiya-san. Did you get everything you might need?" he asked me and I gave him a nod. He opened the door and I saw Enishi sitting there lookng through his glasses to papers. His head shot up at my entrance and a bit of a smile." Hello honey. How did everthing go?" he asked sweetly. I gave a big smile and pulled out my notes. I could see that Enishi was not in the best of moods.
" Is there something wrong with my notes dear?" I asked. We were very accustomed to calling pther names.
" No there is not. However you'll need to add something when you report," he said. I knew that he could now something necause it was his sister that Kenshin had supposedly killed, but I wondered what he might want to add.
" What is it?" i asked and he looked at me with those wild eyes and gave a bit of a frown.
" Do you know what today is darling?" he asked and I pondered. There was no holiday. No anniversery, or birthday. It was just a regular May twenty fifth.
" No I don't if you're asking holiday wise," I said. I told the truth and he closed his eyes.
" It is the anniversery of my sister's death. That is why I asked you to get it. I kenw Aoshi wouldn't, he's to strict. But the psychopath always opens to girls," I was stunned. One I didn't know this was the day that Tomoe had died. Two Enishi didn't know if what they accused him of was true or not. An three, I would expect better of him from knowing the guy.
" Dear, he's not as bad as he seems," I said. I was going to argue with him. This was very seldom and we tried to prevent it, but I had to at this point.
" It's an act Kaoru, I think you would know that best of all," he said. His voice was a bit harsh.
" Look," I tried to say in the calmest way possible," maybe he didn't do it Enishi. He said he didn't," I was holding my voice back.
" Then you know he's lying," his voice was smooth." Every murderer says they didn't do it. Look where it lands them," he said.
" You don't have any proof that he did it," i said and leaned back in one of the leather chairs he had sitting in his office. Enishi stared at me for a long time and then I heard his voice.
" Oh Kaoru. I love you to depths of my heart and back, even how naive you're being now. But the truth is, I have all the evidence in my mind. I saw him murder her. And I was the one that put him where he is," i sunk down the chair looking at my lap. I didn't want to fight anymore. He just had the upperhand. I loved Enishi, that much was true, but this I couldn't take that well. Fighting had always made me cry and i stood walking out the door without him saying a word.
" Is there something wrong Kaoru. You seem distressd," Soujiro said as he watched me sit down on the chair. I looked to him for a moment and knew my mascara was running from the tears.
" it's nothing Soujiro. Nothing at all," I said and took the handkerchief he had given me.
" Fights are hard to take arn't they?" he asked sitting next to me.
" i just don't like yelling. I'll be better soon alright. In enough time to do my report," I said and tried to stop y voice from the sniffling sort of sound.
" If you are sure," Soujiro stood and I looked at him as I took the elevator back down.
A/N:Yeah, Enishi is being a bit tough on Kaoru, but he knows more than her. Suppsosedly. Well till next time. KenSan out!
