Previously in Being with a guy like you: "Ouch!"

"Kenshin?" Kaoru gasp and her eyes widen.

"K-Kaoru?"

Kaoru's POV

I was really shocked when I saw Kenshin. He's hair was short but is still red, he's eyes were amber filled with sorrows and death not like last time when he's eyes were violet and filled with happiness and purity. He's face was also pale .He's wearing a black plain shirt and black jeans with a pair of black rubber shoes. ….

I wanted to hug him and apologize but instead I cried. Tears was streaming down my face. I can't help it. It really hurts seeing him like this. Misao was trying to calm me down but I didn't. Everyone was silent and stared at us then I started to cough really hard…. I can't breath, my lungs was aching. I fell into my feet then Misao ran over to help me even Kenshin and the other students. I can't breathe. Asthma was attacking me.

"Kaoru! Are you okay" Misao and Kenshin said in unison.

Tears pressed at the back of my eyes as I shook my head, my small form shivering with the effort to draw breath. Someone had come for me. "Asth…ma…" I sounded out, remembering what my Aunt had called I attacks before. Amber eyes widened with realization and I was shifted suddenly into his arms within the swoop. I couldn't keep my eyes open to see.

"M-misao get my in-inhaler. N-now" I said gasping for air while Kenshin held me into his arms. My eyes closed

Misao nodded and left while Kenshin carried me to follow Misao and was followed by the other nosy students.

"Kaoru, Its not here" Misao said jumping up and down. She panicked.

"Oh no.."

Kenshin said as he ran down the stairway carrying me. I can't breathe…. O Lord help me.

Kenshin bought me to the school's clinic followed by Misao and the other nosy students. Well I guess some crazy teachers also.

"What's wrong? OmG… place her on the bed, quickly!" The nurse exclaimed as she ran to her drawer to get the inhaler. She places the inhaler on me as I started to breathe but still unconscious.

Normal POV

"She's going to be okay but she'll stay here to get some rest" the nurse said as everyone sigh in relief.

Kenshin walked over to the bed where Kaoru was sleeping. He sat on the chair near the bed and held her hands. He stared at her, tears streaming down his face. His soul, lost in the darkness. His heart, cold as ice. He just stared at her; his feelings were mix with sadness, sorrows and of course….LOVE.

He never felt like this before since the time they were together. He never loved another woman but her. He's there. Waiting for her. But when the time she left him, his heart frozen, his attitude changed, and also his whole life changed into evil darkness that also ate his soul. Every single day of his life was miserable. His most badass you will ever meet. They said that if you mess with him, you'll regret the time you first met him. Some said that you could get killed. But now he's there, overcoming his soft side. Caring for the only one he loves. He felt so ashamed of himself. He's ashamed of being the one Kaoru hates. He hates himself. And now maybe Kaoru hates him more.

He let go of her hand and stood up wiping his dry tears. He looked at her one more time and kissed her forehead and left with Misao. He steps outside the clinic and crowd waiting for them. Whispers and murmurs were heard all around.

"Get away from me! Go to hell you bastards! Out of the way!" Kenshin screamed, leaving scared and terrified students running back to their classrooms since the bell already rang 20 minutes ago.

"It's all my fault all of this happened" Kenshin said, punching the cemented walls.

"Don't blame yourself Himura. And this always happens to Kaoru every time she feels pressure. The minimum times she's attacked was 3 times a month. Sometimes 5 times a month. She always stress herself. Aunt Mayumi always gives me updates about her every month. She told me that her asthma started when…. Uhh w-when" Misao said, nervous of what she will say. I can't tell him. Maybe he'll blame himself more and commit suicide…. Well maybe not its only asthma ya know. She taught to herself.

"When what?" He said, narrowing his eyes. Misao gulped and began to speak.

"W-when she saw you with T-Tomoe. That night she's been crying non-stop. No one calmed her. No one can. She cried all night. She never slept. She cried until 9:00 in the morning. All her crying stopped when she ran out of air and cannot breathe any longer. We bought her to the hospital and the doctor said her asthma grew worst than before. Aunt Mayumi never knew about her disease even Kaoru didn't knew about only her late parents knew it. She really loves you Kenshin.I know it. She loves you so much. She doesn't want to talk to you because she knows than you and Tomoe are having a relationship. She doesn't want to create a mess. She also said that it really hurts to see you right now. Kenshin, as a true friend of yours, I want you to change and take back Kaoru. Forget the past. Just promise me you'll take care of her and never hurt her again. I can't stand seeing her like this." Misao explained while giving him a sad smile.

Kenshin faced his foot, letting one tear fall from his face. But the thing that surprised Misao was seeing him… SMILE.

"I can't believe I did this to her. But do you thin she really still loves me? Even if I changed?"

She nodded and smiled. ' AWWW.. Kenshin's cute when he's using his soft side. But at least I think I knocked some sense into him.' She thought.

" Well, ermm Kenshin? Can we go to class now. We're really damn late and I think Ms. Yamanaka will scare me to death again like last year." Misao asked.

"Oh uh sure, let's go " He said as they began to walk to their respective classrooms…

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Flash-forward- Lunch Break-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Kaoru's P.O.V

I opened my eyes. I covered my eyes to avoid the bright light hitting my face. My head hurts like hell. It really does. I looked around to see the nurse treating a patient that caught in a fight. I also hear noise coming from outside. I think its already lunch break aurgggghhh… I missed class in first day of school. Anyway I sat up holding my head to avoid the head ache but of course it still really hurts like hell. The nurse noticed me and smiled.

"Oh your already awake would you like some warm water? I could buy lunch for you if you still feel bad." She said. I smiled at her and nodded. She walk towards the kitchen to get me warm water as I laid and closed my eyes then the door opened. I opened my eyes to see who it is.

My eyes widen. I saw Kenshin and Misao entering the clinic. I took a deep breath and placed a fake smile on my lips as they approach me.

"Hey Kao-chan, how are feeling? Do you breathe well? Is something hurt?" Misao said. I giggled and answered.

"to answer your question, I'm feeling well and yes I do breathe well and yes my head hurts like hell. Ohhh It rhymed."

She rolled her eyes and smiled. "Oh and ummmm. Kenshin's here. He wants to ummm talk to you."

I glanced at him. He really looked so scary but still cute. I sighed and nodded.

Misao smiled and stood up to let Kenshin sit in the stool next to the bed.

" So, I'll leave you two lovebirds here and I'll go and have lunch with Aoshi-sama, okay?"

I blushed and glared at her as she left the clinic.

" Kaoru I-"

"Thanks"

"Huh?"

"Thanks for taking me here. If it wasn't for you maybe I'll be dead right now"

"It's okay. I'm glad"

"Kenshin?"

"Hn"

"Why did you change?"

"You wanna thank about it?"

I nodded

" Its because of depression."

I raised an eyebrow " Depression? "

He nodded

"Kaoru It was because you-" I cut him off " Oh yeah how are you and Tomoe?"

"What?"

"Yeah yours and Tomoe's relationship" I asked. He raised an eyebrow.

"We didn't really dated" He answered.

" Wait, What? I thought you and her were dating after that in..ci..dent. " My voice faded as I realized what I just said. I closed my eyes, Praying nothing really hit both of us."

He gave me a sad smile and shook his head. " I know she have feelings for me and I kinda like her a little bit but I can't because-"

"Because what?" I asked as I opened my eyes slowly to look at him.

"Because I'm not over with you yet. I still h-have feelings for you. Until now. I still lo-"

I placed my finger on his lip to shut him up. I smiled at him. A tear slept down from my face. I removed the blanket from my lap and leaned over to him. I hugged him very tight, crying on his chest. He looked very surprised with my actions but he just hugged me back. I smiled, cherishing this moment being with him. In his arms. It's been 2 years since we did this and that's why I cherish it.

I pulled back, wiping dry tears out of my face. I took a sip of tea that the nurse gave me a while a go and smiled.

" I'm sorry I wet your shirt. Wait a minute, Is that the shirt I gave you back then when we are freshmen? I also have that too. The next time I will give you a T- shirt. I'll make it a bright color. You look like you're a emo or something."

He nodded and smiled at me. His eyes were….were… back to the original color, his violet orbs was looking at me. I smiled. Am I the only one who bring him back to normal? Well yes, I guess I'm the only one. It's my fault why he's acting like a badass in the first place. But still I'm glad.

" You know Kenshin, I really missed you so much that I can't even bear to sleep at night thinking of you."

I said, blushing. He's really cute you know.

" I missed you too. Well, can you give our relationship another chance and just forgive and forget the thing that happened in the past?" He asked me. I stared at him for a long time before I answered.

" I already forgiven you but I don't know if I can still love you Kenshin. Our relationship won't work anymore. We will just have to stay friends for our own good. I'm really sorry."

He stared at me, giving me a sad smile and nodded." I understand Kaoru but don't forget I'll always wait for you no matter what will happen." I smiled and leaned over to kiss his cheeks. I pulled back and got out of the bed but he stopped me.

" wait a minute, where do think you're going? You should stay here and rest young lady. You don't feel well yet. Now, go back to sleep."

I sighed. "Kenshin I'm not a little girl anymore and I can handle myself. It's just an asthma attack and my head hurts a little but I can handle it. Now let go of me so that I could get ready for afternoon class. I already missed the morning periods and it's first day of school. Who wants to miss that day?"

"Kaoru Kamiya you have to rest. Now go back to bed this instant" He ordered me. I shook my head. "NO!"

"Kaoru…" He said in a warning tone, shooting me daggers that really freaks me out. I sighed in defeat.

" OK mom you win. Now go to class the bell already rang. You'll be late."

"Good, now take a good rest, bye" He said as he kissed my forehead and left.

I sighed

'This is going to be a long school year with lots of drama'
