Chapter 2

The school day came and went rather quickly. Waving goodbye to Yuuki and Miyon, Karin turned back around to walk home with Michi.

"Hanazono-san, would you like to go to the park with me?!" Michi asked looking down at Karin. "It'll be fun!"

"Sorry, I promised to go with Himeka-chan to the air-port to pick up that jerk." Karin spat out narrowing her eyes. "Sorry, Michi...Another time."

"Kujyou-kun right?" Michi asked seeing Karin flinch. "Why do you hate him so much?"

"Because he calls girls stupid!" Karin said twitching slightly. "...He's a jerk to everyone but Himeka-chan, and his sister."

"Maybe you don't know him well enough." Michi said looking forward, shrugging. "How about tomorrow you will be as old as everyone else in class!"

Karin smiled slight. "Thank you Michi, but...I can't I'm spending the day at home with mom." she lied threw her teeth. Her mother had work on her birthday.

"Alright, some other time then?" he asked hopefully.

Karin looked over at him, nodding. "Sure." she said smiling at him again. "This is my way, Michi." she said waving at him. "I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"See you, Hanazono-san." Michi said waving back to her. "Have a happy birthday."

"You can spoil me a little tomorrow, Michi." Karin said wish a joke smile. "You will see me in class tomorrow, after all!"

"Oh right! I'll cheer you up there after your terrible experience with Kujyou-kun!" Michi said back to Karin as he waved to her. "I hope you'll like your present from me."

"I'm sure I will." Karin said smiling back at him. "See you." and took off running towards her house.

The sun was going down quickly on that Thursday, nearly 5:00 before she entered her house. Himeka waiting, as she talked to Mrs. Hanazono.

"Ah! Karin-chan!" Himeka said smiling. "There you are!"

"Sorry I'm late...it's pretty bad when your best friend gets home before you do." Karin said rubbing behind her neck. "Sorry."

"It's okay!" Himeka said smiling. "It isn't that far from here only five minutes right?"

"Yeah." Karin said nodding. "Let's go."

"See you later, Mrs. Hanazono!" Himeka said waving to Karin's mother as she ran out of the house. "Come on Karin-chan!"

"I'll be back, Mom." Karin said following after Himeka.

After getting into the strech-limo, Himeka looked over at the dazed Karin. "What's wrong?"

"You have a limo!?" Karin sounded surprised blinking slightly.

"Yes!" She said smiling.

"Oh right...your parents are rich." Karin said bluntly looking up and around the limo. "So cool."

Himeka was adopted when she was ten, after her real parents were in a car crash.

"So Karin-chan, can you promise not to murder my cousin?" Himeka asked tilting her head slightly.

"...I can't promise anything." Karin mumbled to herself. "I'll try not to." Karin said waving her hand. "Just make sure he doesn't insult girls...or comes near me."

"Got it!" Himeka said saluting Karin slightly, before looking out the window.

"We're here, Miss Himeka."

"Great!" Himeka said softly as the car stopped. She didn't wait on the butler to open up the door for her. "Let's go Karin-chan!" She said excitedly.

"W-Wait up Himeka-chan!" Karin called after Himeka as she slide out of the car, glancing back at the butler. "We'll be back." she said closing the door behind her, and took off running as well.

As soon as she caught up with Himeka, she was already out of breath. "W-Wow Himeka-chan you run really quickly."

Himeka just smiled at her. "I've always ran faster then you."

"True." Karin admitted sighing out. Silence came as they gazed up at the flights that would becoming in. "What flight is he coming in on?"

"Fight 58." Himeka said looking at the already landed ones. "He should already be here."

Karin looked at the flights slightly worried. "I'm sure there just...getting off, or he's waiting some where here in the airport."

"You're probably right." Himeka said agreeing with her.

"I'll go check down at the bag return area." Karin said pointing towards her right. "You wait here."

"Alright." Himeka said unsure for a second. "Don't kill him if you find him!"

"I promise, I won't!" Karin said for the final time and took off to the package return.

Scanning around the area, she didn't seem to notice where she was going. Walking strait into a blond-haired boy. "Oh I'm sorry!" Karin said blinking slightly staring up into his blue eyes. Blushing lightly. "Wow, so pretty." she whispered to herself with out anyone hearing her.

"Hey girl, what are you staring at?" The boy asked in an irritated voice. "Or are you just stupid."

Karin flinched and glared at him. "You didn't need to insult me." she said crossing her arms.

The blond-haired boy shrugged crossing his arms staring down at her. "You just stared at me...it's like you've never seen a human before."

"I don't have time for this!" Karin said walking by the blond. "I'm looking for someone by the name of Kazune Kujyou."

"You found him." The blond replied grabbing her wrist. "Why are you looking for me?"

Karin twitched and glared back at the tall eighteen year old. "So, your Kazune?"

"Yeah, I told you that before." He replied bluntly, with a bored look in his eyes.

"Follow me." Karin ordered pulling him by his hand. "Himeka-chan is waiting on use."

"Himeka's waiting!" Kazune glared at Karin. "Why are we still here, where is she?"

"Waiting on you- in the front."

Kazune pulled his hand out of her grip. "Don't ever touch me again, understand Karin?"

"Understood, perfectly." Karin hissed out running after the blond. "Idiot."

Kazune didn't stop until they got to Himeka. Instantly hugging his cousin. "Himeka! Are you alright!?" he sounded more like a concerned parent then a cousin.

"Kazune-kun!" Himeka said hugging him back happily. "I'm okay." she said smiling up at him.

Kazune let out a sigh glaring back at Karin. "Never leave Himeka by herself."

"Yes father." Karin hissed glaring at him. "Ready Himeka-chan...my mom is expecting me home soon."

"Yes! Let's go, Kazune-kun!" Himeka said smiling as she pulled him along.

Kazune appears! He's a jerk major to Karin right now, he'll soften up just a bit to her.

There will be romance. Later on, probably next chapter.

Please review, thank you.
