Chapitre 4- Bumping In

She lie curled up in the bed for the rest of the day. The big window once filled with sun now magnified with the light of the moon.

"Kaoru…" Tsubame said in too soft voice. "Why don't you come down for dinner?"

She turned on her side and ignored the sweet girl.

Tae came out of nowhere and began chastising her. " If you keep this eating habit up, you're going to whither away, and quite frankly, there isn't that much of you to go."

She still sat there quietly.

"Kaoru…", Tsubame whispered.

"No," she finally said. "Now please go away."

She heard Tae sigh and then leave, shutting the door behind her.

With Kenshin…

He laughed as he watched his mother try to feed his brother with a vain attempt. He laughed even harder when his father tried, but got mushed chicken spit on his shirt. He heard his father let out a heavy sigh then go back to eating.

Kenshin got up and walked over to the pouting baby.

"Hey Kenji," he said smiling at his baby brother.

He crossed his arms.

"Okay then. I guess you don' want to be awesome like me."

His face lit up.

'Such a cutie. Wants to be just like me.'

"Mmm hmm." He nodded his head frantically. "P'ease."

"Okay, but you have to eat like a big boy and not fuss."

The baby looked up at him with a grim face. "No."

"Hmm, okay, but you won't be as big and strong as me…"

The child glared at him then finally turned to his mother with his mouth wide open.

His mother turned to him and mouthed 'Thank you.'

"So Ken," his father began, "How was your first day? Did your uncle embarrass you?"

Kenshin looked down. "Uncle didn't embarrass me…"

"Shocking. You seem a little glum about your day. What happened?"

"I think I ticked this girl off today or scared her. She didn't seem comfortable every time I talked to her."

"Maybe she was just having a bad day. Don't worry."

He sighed. "Okay," he said twirling his fork in the pasta before sticking it in his mouth.

"May I go to bed? I'm a little tired."

"Sure Hun," his mother said before taking his plate to the kitchen.

"Night son," his father said.

"Night Kenny," his brother called

"Mmm hmm," he muttered before heading to his room.

He stripped down to his boxers and got in bed.

"No need to worry. Dad was probably right. Maybe she was having a bad day." He kept chanting his to himself until it lulled him to sleep.

With Kaoru…

"Kaoru, get up. You're going to be late and miss breakfast."

She didn't move.

"Get up now."

"I don't feel well."

Sae walked over and felt her head. "You feel fine. Now get up."

Kaoru pulled the blanket over her head tight.

"Kaoru, get up now."

"No!"

Sae pulled the cover off and dragged her off the bed into the shower. After that, she got her dressed and got her bag together.

Kaoru lied back down in bed and pulled the covers over her head.

"Kaoru, stop with this bullshit and get your ass out of bed."

She got up and left the room towards her car she got from her father because he wanted her out of the house more.

'I can't be in peace with her constant talking.'

She got dizzy walking down the steps and almost fell. She grabbed the railing, trying to regain her balance. She took a deep breath, and then kept walking

~With Kenshin

"Okay mom, I love you too. I've got to go."

"Do you have your lunch Hun?"

"Yes mom," he said as he tried to get away from her suffocating hug.

"Mmm, okay. See you later Hun."

He got into his red convertible he had gotten for his sixteenth birthday and drove down the long narrow path adorned by trees that led to the high way.

When he reached the school, he pulled into the parking place near where the others were standing. He was immediately pulled into a bear hug by Sano.

"Ken, what's up?" Sano grinned.

"Nothing…What?" He noticed Sano eyeing his face weirdly.

"Dude, what's that on your face? Was some chick already sucking your face off?"

He looked in the mirror. "Mother…"

"Did you just say 'Mother'? Did your mother do that?"

Kenshin turned a deep red.

"Dude, I bet she still irons your clothes. Is that why you're wearing a pink polo and cargo shorts?" Sano laughed. "You are such a prep."

He got redder as he scrubbed the thick lip gloss off his face. "My mother irons my clothes because she knows just how I like it. Why won't this gunk come off? I'll see you guys in class," he declared as he sped off to the restroom.

When he arrived at the restrooms, he was hit in the face with a door. He looked up and saw a dark-haired woman standing over him.

"Excuse me," the frantic voice began. "I am so sorry. Oh crap. I totally forgot your name. Um… Kenshin. Yeah, Kenshin. Are you okay?"

He pressed his palm to his face and shook it off. "I am fine. That I am." He looked up at her pale face. She had dark circles around her blood-shot eyes and was shaking slightly. "The question is, are you okay?"

She looked at herself. "I think I'm okay. I'm just a little tired. Maybe we should get to class before Mr. Hajime locks us out."

He pushed himself up and nodded. He took little side glances at her, noticing every slight stumble she made and when she squeezed her eyes shut for moments at a time.

He held the door open for her and followed after she stepped in.

She took her seat in the back corner of the room.

He sat across the room in the front row. Sano sat with a big grin on his face waiting for him to arrive.

"Ken, where'd ya go? You still have the lip gloss on your face."

"Crap…" He rubbed at it frantically again.

Misao walked over and wiped the thick gunk off in one swipe. He looked at her amazed, but didn't bother to question it.

He looked over at Kaoru who was shaking more noticeably now.

The teacher had walked in before he could make his way over there, so he took his seat again.

"Himura," Saitou began. "Where were you yesterday? You only showed up for your last four classes."

"I got lost on the way here. My uncle left before he could show how to get here."

"There is a thing called GPS. Use it. Be more responsible for yourself. You have detention today."

His eyes shot open. "But…I … This is some bull!" He sputtered.

"Hmm. Mr. Himura, I know your uncle and your parents. This is questionable behavior coming from you. I bet they'd like to know about this."

He slouched in his seat and shook his head.

"That's would I thought. You will serve detention like the good child you were raised to be."

He sighed and glanced at Kaoru again.

She wasn't in her seat anymore. He looked around and noticed she wasn't in the room either.

He panicked.

He finally looked under the desk and saw she was on the floor. It didn't look like she was breathing.

His heart stopped. He couldn't breath. He didn't know what to do. He looked around to see if anyone else saw her. He finally caught his breath and yelled and the teacher.

"Mr. Hajime! K-"

"So you're going after a month of detention."

"Will you shut up! Kaoru passed out!"

So. How'd ya like it? Hopefully that was a cliffhanger. I was never good at those... Well, leave a comment. Sorry it took so long to update. I am quite lazy...
