"Argh! How long does that Misao plan to make me wait?" Kaoru yelled to herself.
Just then, a weasel-like girl came running that way. "Kaoru!" Misao panted.
"Misao! Where the hell were you?" Kaoru exclaimed.
"Gomen nasai!" Misao replied. "I was looking somewhere else for you! Heh heh..."
"Misao!"
"Chill out!"
"You're the one who needs to chill often! Your screams and your hyperactive energy freak the teachers sometimes!"
"Ehhhh..."
Kaoru smiled teasingly at her.
"Kaoru!" Misao yelled.
"See what I mean?"
"KAORU!"
"Let's just forget about that! We're better hurry soon, or else it's going to rain! We better get to my house before that happens!"
"Yeah, let's hurry!"
Suddenly, thunder shot out like a fiery rage of a dragon.
"AHHHH! OUT OF ALL THE TIME THAT THERE WAS AT SCHOOL, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE NOW?" cried a loud voice.
"Misao! You don't have an umbrella?"
"Ahh! How can I forget?"
"Misao..." Kaoru sighed. "Just take it out and everything will be fine."
"Yeah!" Misao yelled. "Let's get to your house before it rains even harder!"
They both stretched out their umbrellas and headed out to the cold and lonely streets. It was dark and gloomy, and the tension was very thick, even with Misao's enthusiasm.
Down by the sidewalk, there walked a lonely man, with absolutely no shelter at all for the rain...
"Hey!" Kaoru yelled. She ran over to him to see if he was alright. "Are you o-"
A pair of bright golden eyes glared at her.
"Oh! Himura-san!" Kaoru said nervously. "Don't you have an umbrella?"
"No."
"Umm, where do you live? You might catch a cold like this!" Kaoru asked with concern.
"…."
"Umm, it's alright if you don't want to answer me," Kaoru replied with a sheepish smile. "Here, you can have mine!"
Kaoru offered her umbrella to the dripping wet man. "Here."
"I don't need your pity." He shoved away the umbrella as it landed on the wet ground with a small tunk.
"But, I was just trying to-"
"Stay away from me."
The lonely and wet young man walked away without ever looking back.
No, I will not give up!
Kaoru picked up the umbrella and suddenly went running up to him and once again offering her the umbrella. She ran in front of him and raised the umbrella up to give him shelter. "You'll really become sick if you stay like this."
Kenshin hesitantly accepted her offer. Kaoru began to walk away, but was stopped by a cold voice. "What about you?"
Kaoru turned around as she was dripping wet too. "Misao and I can share one!" She said with a smile. "Right Misao-chan?"
"Umm, yeah! Sure!" She replied as she walked towards Kaoru so they were able to share the same umbrella.
Then, out in the drizzling rain the two walked their separate ways.
"Kaoru, why did you help him like that?"
"Oh, it's nothing..."
Preview for next chapter:
"Why are you always treating me like this? What is it that you want? Are you just doing this because of my looks?"
"No! That's not why; it's just that, you're always so lonely, and cold. I just want to see the other side of you! There's just something about you, that I-"
Everything else was nonsense now. All it matters is that their lips are touching. Kenshin slammed Kaoru towards the wall, and pressed her on it as hard as he could with his own body. His hands went around her waist and pulled her towards him as his mouth landed on hers. He forcefully shoved her mouth open, and explored it with his own.
Kaoru moaned with pleasure, this was her first kiss, it felt so sensational, like up in heaven. "Mmhhmm..."
