D.C. - Look at the prologue.

Ah! I know it's been ages since I've updated. But don't worry! I will get back on track with this ficcie. This is my first, so I shall not give up upon it! Hopefully all of my readers will stick with me till the end.

Kaoru gazed intently at her hot chocolate, deep in thought.

-FLASHBACK-

"I don't need your pity." He shoved the umbrella as it landed on the wet ground with a small tunk.

"But, I was just trying to-"

"Stay away from me."

-FLASHBACK ENDS-

Kaoru sighed.

"Kaoru?" asked a small voice.

Kaoru was still engrossed in her thoughts.

"KAORU!" the voice was now louder.

Kaoru flinched with the loudness of that voice. "Yes Misao?" Kaoru looked up at Misao as she was trying to restrain her temper.

"What's going on?" asked the weasel girl. "I hardly see you thinking so much unless you're studying."

"I was just... thinking about something..." Kaoru replied softly.

The thunder outside was still loud like a raging dragon. Kaoru and Misao were soaking wet when they got to the Kamiya Mansion. But the maids took care of them well, so now they were both sitting quietly in Kaoru's study room. It was a bit too quiet, especially with Misao in the room.

"Kaoru," Misao said sharply. "I know something's going on, and you have to tell me."

"Misao! There's nothing going on! Why can't you give a girl some private time of her own?" Kaoru reverted back to her cheery voice, hoping that Misao would stop asking her questions.

"Fine, fine," Misao replied with an annoyed voice. "But if there's anything wrong, you better tell me!" She finished her last statement with a threatening voice.

"Hai, hai," Kaoru replied. "Now let's start our Homework."

"Argh!" Misao said with a frustrated voice.

Kaoru chuckled softly.

The next day, the sun was bright as ever. Even though it rained heavily last night, nothing showed the next morning that it rained the day before, because everyone and everywhere was just as lively as usual.

"Megumi-san! Sempai!" Kaoru yelled in the hallways.

The long black-haired girl turned around. She smiled at Kaoru. Although she always hung out with Kaoru and Misao, and she was a much known girl at the school, she was still years older than they are. She was a senior now and she was already accepted by one of the top colleges in America. Just a few more months until she was off to college. She always acted like a big sister to both Kaoru and Misao.

"Yes Kaoru?" Megumi replied.

"Misao was going to come with me, but Shinomori-sensei asked her to stay after class. We wanted to ask you that if you want to hang out after school? Today's a Friday, so we're thinking of going to my place, you know, the usual. So wanna come?" Kaoru tried to say everything in one breath.

"Sure, I would love to," Megumi said with a smile. "Invite some guys too!" She giggled with her vixen voice.

"Megumi-san!" Kaoru yelled with a laugh too.

"I'll be going to class now, enjoy your lunch period!" Megumi replied as she turned around, but then stopped in her tracks. "Did you say Shinomori-sensei?"

"Yeah, I did," replied Kaoru.

Megumi laughed softly. "Misao must be happy that she's told to see him after class. She's been crushing on that guy for ages!"

Kaoru laughed. "Well no duh! But she's always denying it when everyone talks about it. I bet even sensei knows too! But then, he's not very sentimental…"

"Well, we both want Misao to be happy," Megumi said quietly. "See you later!" Megumi was off to class.

Kaoru sighed to herself. How come both Misao and Megumi both found someone to live for? Misao has Shinomori-sensei; Megumi has Sanosuke waiting for her in America… It's only me now… I wish… that I had someone I can think about everyday also.

A familiar red-head then flashed before her mind.

Kaoru shook her head from side to side to get the image off her mind. But just when she turned around, it was the real one.

"Himura-kun!" Kaoru almost shrieked. "What are you doing here?"

"You're in front of my locker, that's what."

"Oh," Kaoru turned around. It was indeed his locker. "I'm sorry!" Kaoru said sheepishly. She moved out of the way so he can get by.

She gazed intently at him as he opened his locker door.

"A man can't get his privacy around here?" A voice awoke her from her thoughts.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Kaoru apologized once again. She quickly turned around, but made no motion to leave however.

As she heard the locker door slam, she turned back at him once again. He was starting coldly at her, as she was gazing back at him with her sapphire orbs big and wide. It was almost like a staring contest, both tried to hide their emotions in their eyes.

"Gah!" the red-head felt a sudden pain at his cross-shaped scar. He felt blood gushing out as he felt on his knees to the white marbled floor.

Kaoru stepped over to him quickly to see if he was okay. She bent down to help him. "Himura-kun, let me help with-"

The red-head stood up and Kaoru followed his notion.

"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..."

Oh my god! I can't believe it! He's kissing me! My first kiss! As Kaoru felt his tongue made its entrance, Kaoru's hands made its way around his neck. They were both engaged in their own desires and disregarded whatever was going on.

The red-head finally released Kaoru from their kiss. He started to pant a little, as his hands let go of her waist. He left her standing there, bewilderedly, leaning against the wall, as he left with no words at all.

I swear one day, I will make him open up to me. He's the guy I want, and no one will stop me!

Preview for next chapter:

"Yeah... I can't stop thinking about Aoshi-sama!"

"Misao! I can't believe you refer Shinomori-sensei as that! He's like what? Ten years older than you?"

"KAORU! Not ten years, about eight... or nine."

"What's the difference?" Kaoru teased.

"KAORU! What's wrong with liking someone?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, but don't you think he's a bit too old for you?"

"Who cares... all it matters is the feeling, who cares about age?"

"If you really like him, I don't have any objection, but are you sure about your feelings?"

"Yes I am sure! How are you Kaoru? Like anyone right now?" Misao flashed her eyes.

Gomen nasai! I know a lot of you are probably thinking that this story might be rushing or something. But please stick to me minna-san!
