Chapter 5: Betrayal
The next day after school Kenshin, was waiting for Myzuki at her house. Unknown to Myzuki, Katashi had been following her. He found out where she lived and let Kenshin know of her where abouts. When Myzuki got there she saw Kenshin. For that moment it seemed like timed stopped for them. 'It's been so long since I have seen him.' Myzuki thought.
"You're still as beautiful from the first moment I saw you Zuki-Chan." Kenshin sounded sincere.
"What is it that you want Kenshin?" she asked.
"Is that how you greet me?" He replied while taking a step towards her.
"You know what I mean, why did you leave Cali?" She retorted while taking a step back.
"Isn't it obvious? I left for you." He answered like it was the most obvious conclusion, while still inching closer to her.
"Kenshin please" she whispered while hitting her back against the fence that she failed to realize she was backing into.
"What is this? Are you afraid of me?" He inquired while finally getting close enough to her so, he could brush the back of his hand against her cheek. To his dismay she flinched at his touch.
"Don't be ridiculous! Just please just go away! I don't want to see you anymore, and please stop sending those idiot friends of yours to follow me." She said while shoving her way passed him. She ran all the way inside her door and slammed it shut. She slid down the door and sat on floor and started to cry.
(Flash-Back)
Eighteen Months Ago
"Myzuki wait up! You're going to fast, I can't keep up," Kenshin said while trailing behind her on his AT's.
"Fine, you slow poke." She replies with a sigh while slowing down on her AT's.
"Zuki-Chan" He says while grabbing on to her wrist and spinning her around to face him.
"Ken..." She trailed off.
She was in utter shock. She couldn't believe what was happening. Kenshin was kissing her. She was frozen at first, but the ice slowly melted because of the searing kiss. She found herself giving in and closing her eyes and just letting go. He wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to him. She brought her hands up and snaked them around his neck. There kiss seemed to last forever, but it ended just as quickly as it started.
"Myzuki, I, I l-love you, I have loved you for so long, I want us to be together." He confessed while looking into her eyes longingly.
"I don't know what I feel, but I do know that like you a lot, your very important person to me." She replied while hugging him.
"I don't care how long it takes but I know you will love me." He said with such conviction.
Six Months Later
"Tadashi where is Kenshin?" Myzuki asked while grinding on a half pipe at a skate park that they would usually meet at after school.
"Uumm I am not sure Zuki-Chan" Tadashi replies with a giggle while scratching the back of his head.
"You if I didn't know any better I would say you are lying to me Tadashi-kun" She said fiercely while jumping off the half pipe and landing in front of him.
"Zuki-chan please, don't put me in the middle, you both are my friends," He replied while trying to hug her.
She left shortly afterwards and headed to Kenshin's house. When she got there she heard voices coming from the backyard and quickly jumped on the roof without making a sound. Just to get a better view on what was going on.
Who could blame her for being nosey? She was just starting to get a hold of her feelings for him, and then he starts acting all distant. She just simply wanted to know if she pushed him away. Or maybe and she dreaded thinking this, but did he find someone else.
One thing was for sure she was just too much of a coward to confront directly. He had this air about him sometimes that just made others feel inferior to him. All she knew was that she wanted to know what the hell was going on and she was going to get to the bottom of it one way or another.
"Kenshin what the hell is taking so long? I though you said you didn't have any feelings for that little bitch" Katashi said while taking a drag off of his cigarette.
"If you call her a bitch one more time and I will personally cut your tongue out of your mouth, second she just doesn't just leave her regalia's anywhere. When she doesn't have them on she keeps them somewhere locked up. She hasn't even told me where there are." Kenshin replied.
"Hmm some boyfriend you are. You must be pretty lame. It seems to me like she doesn't trust you." Katashi replied with a smirk on his face.
"Look asshole all I have to do is turn up the charm, she has no idea I have been using her all this time just to get her regalia," Kenshin said while patting Katashi on the shoulder and letting out a laugh.
Meanwhile, unknown to Kenshin; Myzuki was listening in. Her vision became blurry, and she couldn't contain the tears that were beginning to spill over. 'That son of a bitch, and Tadashi that jerk knew the whole time. I am such an idiot,' Myzuki thought to herself. She was such an emotional mess at that moment that she lost her balance, and slipped of the roof.
"YOU BASTARD," She yelled.
"Myzuki..." Kenshin said. He couldn't even look her in the eyes. All she could do was muster enough energy to slap him across the face.
"I hate you, and I never want to see your face again," She professed.
(Present)
"Myzuki please listen to what I have to say. I didn't come here for your regalia's. I swear, I regret what happened between us," He said through the closed doors.
She just continued to ignore him.
"Mark my words just like I told you when we had our first kiss, you will love me one day." He said while taking off on his AT's. "I will be damned if anyone is going to be with you but me."
