"Hello?"
"Hey."
"Is this?-"
"-It's Kenjuro.."
"Ah, Ken-kun! Did you get what I sent you about Michiru U?"
"Oh, yeah...I got it. Its -"
"-Its so nice that we'll be going to the same University Ken-kun! We'll be able to spend more time together.."
"..."
"I really miss you, Ken-kun.."
"Orihime-chan..."
"Hm?"
"......I'm sorry.."
".................Huh?"
"I can't go to Michiru U"
"You...Can't?"
"Well it's not that I 'cant'..But I received a notice from another University. I'm going to go there..."
"...Its a nice University?"
"Karanoha..."
"Oh wow! Ken!"
"Heh..Yeah its a miracle i got accepted this late.."
"Im soo jealous..Do you want to talk in person at my place? My brothers at work.."
"....I can't, sorry.."
"Well, that's ok.. Do you mind if we set a date, Ken-kun? I reeaally want to see you.."
"Orihime....."
"Yes?"
"I..............."
"Ken-kun.."
"I'm really sorry..."
"Ken-kun..."
"I can't see you from now on."
"Ken-"
"-Its not you Orihime believe me. Your wonderful and kind. Truly your the only girl I really loved in High School."
"I love you-"
"I'm really doing this for you Orihime..We'll be going to different colleges and we'll be hundreds of miles apart."
"I don't care. I love you."
"...they say long distance relationships between college students are almost Guaranteed to fall apart..."
"I trust you.."
"...And I don't trust myself..."
"..."
"I mean, I know there will be loads of guys gunning for you. I don't want to put any stress on things."
"Can you meet me? Please, Ken?.."
"Ah..Well you see...I'm currently on the train to Karanoha.."
"Kenjuro..."
"I'm sorry...I knew if I faced you I'd lose my resolve. I'm sorry."
"..."
"God, I'm so sorry."
"But..."
"Please try to understand..."
"W-what am I s-supposed t-to.."
"just.....Don't......I don't know.."
"y-you planned th-this, b-but you don't know?"
"I didn't plan to make you cry...I was hoping you-"
"-would under-st-stand? Your leaving m-me without s-saying g-good.-"
"I'm saying it now! I said I wouldn't have been able to do it in person! I know I'm a coward for that! I'm sorry! I'm a big wimpy coward who runs away from his problems. I know.."
"Even so...I love this coward..."
"..."
"I wanted to s-see you....so....badly.."
"I have to go, Orihime.."
"when will you be back in town?.."
"I'm not sure, really.."
"Can I come see you? No.. I don't need to ask you. Ill come visit you during winter break"
"You can't.."
"I will.."
"Realistically, you can't affored a trip.."
"I'm coming to see you soon Kenjuro.."
"..."
"I'm going to see you, Kenjuro Ichigeki, no matter what it takes."
"..."
"Hello?"
"..."
"Kenjuro!"
"I'm here..."
"Please wait for me..."
 
Click.
 
-
 
Fuck.
 
Why the hell did she have to say that?
 
"Please wait for me..."
 
That was exactly the type of thing I was trying to avoid hearing her say...
Well..
 
So much for that.
And so much for my sisters brilliant "break up with her over the phone while your on the train to Karanoha" idea.
 
"Oh yeah, Kenny, A guy did this to me and I was fine with it"
 
...
 
Becuase your an idiot.
 
Damn it all...
 
*SIGH*...
 
Oh yeah..
I'm Kenjuro Ichigeki, by the way...
18 years old. Just graduated.
13th overall out of a class of 227.
Not bad, eh?
Heh, im not gonna lie though.
I cheated all throughout my Highschool career.
Not going to go into detail, but I'll say I did what I had to do to be successful.
I don't really regret it, either. Know why?
Cheating got me accepted into Karanoha U. The most prestigious University on this side of the Planet. And believe me, there are atleast like....42 Universities over here?.....I Dunno.
I wasn't paying attention to the pamphlet they sent me.
The only thing that's important is female to male ratio here..
 
For every 1 male student.
There are 6 female students.
 
That's plenty to go round'.
 
Heh. So how can I honestly go into this...With a girlfriend?
One that's hundreds of miles away?
One that's beautiful and kind and caring....
Loyal....
Trustworthy...
 
 
 
 
...........................Damnit...
 
 
Must think of some negatives about her....
 
She's an awful cook....
She can be a bit clingy...
She has a strange birthmark on her lower left breast...
 
her breasts.... Amazing.......
No!
 
She's got a brother who acts like she belongs to him....
Yeah there we go!
 
Sora....
Man he was a douche...
 
"My sister is not a tool for your sexual desires"
 
He actually said that to me.
I shouldve kicked him in the mouth.
 
Orihime and I have only had sex once.
Took me 2 fucking years to get her to submit to my charms.
 
2 years of "No, I'm not ready for this.." and "Wait just a bit longer Ken-kun".
 
Month after month of teenaged sexual tension building and building..
 
Until finally I got a, "Swear you'll still love me afterwards.."
 
Psshh. I couldve betrayed her at anytime, but I felt like waiting for her would be worth it.
 
 
Mistake.
 
 
In the end, I was so worn out from the constant rejection that by the time I finally got the ok, I just lost all motivation.
 
I thought sex with her would be like nothing I've ever experienced before.
I thought I'd see heaven or something.
 
Pfft.
 
 
 
All I saw were her watery eyes and her quivering body.
All I felt was shame for pressuring her to submit herself to me.
 
It was her first sexual experience, and I probably ruined it.
 
I felt like I was the bad guy from that point on.
The day after we did it, if that's what you want to call it, she continued to sneak up on me and smother me with her trademark D-cup hug. She continued to cling onto my arm and rest her head on my shoulder as we walked through the hallways. She still kissed me on the cheek every morning. Made me lunch...
 
Told me she loved me...
 
BUT REALLY!
 
The worst part was her acting like we'd never done it.
She acted like she was trying to suppress the memory of it.
Mentally, I think she erased that day from her life. I would have rather her hate me and call me inconsiderate and tell me how I didn't do it right.
PLEASE tell me SOMETHING.
No.
Instead, all I get is a void in our relationship.
 
That's what really hurt.
 
The experience was something we were suppose to have enjoyed and looked forward to doing again.
 
I mean shit, I had to stop just becuase it was so embarassing and I felt like I was raping her somehow.
 
Haha....Well..
 
As much as I try to sit here and justify why I left her... I'm just feeling like a bigger idiot..
 
She loved me unconditionally, while I couldn't love someone if I felt like sex was off limits.
 
That's what it factors out to. I know for certain I didn't deserve her anyways. Orihime Inoue was just naïve and taken in by my sweet talking and "angel eyes".
Yeah..
 
"eyes like an angel/ bright and hazel / a sure sign he's kind and faithful"
 
Lyrics to a song from a band who's name I forget..
But I would always hear her humming the melody...
 
 
*long sigh*
 
 
Now here I am sitting on this train filled mostly with young college bound students. Nothing to occupy my time with accept listening to the hum of the maglev train as it glides along the track.
 
Actually, I could hear some unsightly girls gossiping about the whereabouts of some pop-star, but I didn't care to hear these dinosaurs blabbing.
 
Hmm?
 
There was a guy sitting next to me.
 
And...
 
 
Well....Now that I'm looking at em....
 
I can't deny the guys attractive.
Apparently none of the surrounding females could either.
 
Girlish giggles...
Excited whispers.
 
 
 
 
Just who was I sitting next to?
 
-
 
I had to see what the fuss was about. Yes, he was attractive, but I couldn't help but notice the sheer number of eyes that watched him. There had to be something more.
 
I returned the phone I'd been staring at for the past 10 minutes back into my pocket.
 
"Sorry about that, man" I started, "I was on my phone when you came to sit down. Girl problems. Tch."
 
I extended my hand. "I'm Kenjuro Ichigeki."
 
The guy simply gazed at me with a somewhat amused expression on his face. "Interesting." he said turning back away from me, leaving my hand suspended in the air.
 
Ok!
 
"Interesting" I mumbled, mocking him. "What's wrong with greeting someone normally?"
 
The guy looked at me with a bored expression. "That is how normal people deserve to be greeted."
 
"So your trying to piss me off." I said, fighting the urge to elbow him in the throat.
 
"No, I'm trying to establish a relationship between us. One that consists of us not talking to each other for the duration of this trip"
 
"Ah well, I tried-"
 
"-Hey SASUKE!" a girl from behind us screamed. "I'm your biggest fan!"
 
"Shut it! How can you be his biggest fan when I'm his biggest fan!" another girl screamed.
 
There was a sudden uproar of females chattering wildly.
 
"So it's Sasuke..." I said eyeing the raven haired douchebag.
 
It suddenly dawned on me.
 
"Ah, I see. Your Uchiha Sasuke, the 17 year old genius with a killer throwing arm. You played for the Michiru Devils. All star pitcher and what-not."
 
"You're a fan?" Sasuke said, smoothly. "Would you like me to autograph your chest, like the rest of these whores?"
 
I laughed.
 
"No, No. My girlfriend just wrote an article about you for a school report. How you're the 2nd youngest person to be accepted into Karanoha U. They also accepted a 16 year old. Hoshiro Titsugaya or something."
 
"It's Hitsugaya Toshiro." Sasuke said disdainfully. "And he's 13"
 
Wow.
 
"His genius is unheard of. No one in history has entered a University at 13 years old" Sasuke said.
 
"You know em?" I asked.
 
"Of course not. Why would I be acquainted with someone middle school age?" Sasuke said defensively. "I simply refuse to be ignorant of my competition."
 
"I think your gay for em'." I teased. "You want Toshiro to be yours."
 
"I am suprised someone as stupid as you can have the ability to breathe and blink at the same time" Sasuke said as he reached into his jeans pocket.
He pulled out an mp3 player and proceeded to ignore me by blaring his music loud enough to where I could decipher every word through his headphones.
 
I shook my head and chuckled.
 
What a character..
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
*sigh* such a boring guy... Now I have no one to talk to..
and the girls on this train.....UGH!
Dogs. Everyone of them-
 
 
-wait a second!
the one in the back of the cabin...
From this angle.....
She looks kinda cute...
 
"Eh, Sasuke..Get up so I can get out" I said
 
Sasuke mumbled under his breath and stood out of his seat so I could get by him.
 
Ok.
First prospect.
 
The girl I was going to try and busy my time with was a short blonde with pig tales and freckles. She was leaning against the window of the train, frowning out at the passing landscape of rice fields.
When I stopped beside her seat, she turned her head towards me.
 
She glared at me with her caramel-hazel eyes.
I assumed it was her way of saying "fuck off", but I just thought the glare enhanced her cuteness.
 
She was wearing a light red jacket over a white T-shirt. She was also wearing white capri pants with black sandals.
Her outfit looked quite worn out, to be honest..
 
I gently lifted the bag she'd placed in the seat beside her (no doubt to prevent others from sitting) and placed it on my lap as I sat.
 
"somethin' wrong with your seat, hippie?" She said, agressively as she snatched her bag from my lap.
 
"Yes there is actually..." I said pointing to Sasuke. "There's a pompous brat next to it. Mind if I sit here just until the rides over?"
 
"I mind. Get out of my bags seat" She said, folding her arms in front of her small chest.
 
"Why'd you call me a hippie?" I asked, ignoring her. "My hairs only shoulder length."
 
"That's long enough. Your either a hippie or a tranny, and I don't want either sittin' next to me." she said.
 
I was loving her attitude.
 
"You don't get out much, I see" I said, deciding to see how much of me she'd put up with. "Or maybe it's becuase your really like 14. You're not exactly developed yet so-"
 
She suddenly grabbed the collar of my shirt and yanked me towards her so that we were eye level.
 
"Fucker, don't you come over to my seat and talk shit! I'll kick your ass in front of all of these people! I don't give a shit!" she hissed.
 
I could smell the semi-sweet smell of peppermint she must have recently ate. I looked down at her chest through the small opening in the neck hole of her T-shirt.
 
Damn, can't see a thing..
 
"Y'know..." I said, smiling jovially at her as she glared at me hatefully. "I only came over to talk to the cute girl sitting all by herself frowning out the window. I thought maybe you could use the company, but you obviously prefer to be alone."
 
"Bingo! Dumba-".
 
I quickly leaned in and kissed her while her mouth was forming the "ah" in "dumbass". I pressed my lips againts hers and felt my tongue bump against something.
 
I saw her eyes widen as my tongue briefly made contact with hers.
 
"WHA?!-Ugh!!!" she said pulling back from me still in a state of shock.
 
Smack.
 
......
 
SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK.
 
She was smacking the hell out of me.
 
I shielded myself from her barrage with my arms as best as I could, but the girl was relentless.
 
"Hey! Ow! Wait- Ow!"
I tried to stop her hands, but they were flailing too wildly.
 
"You two back there!" a voice roared. "Stop fooling around or you'll be ejected at the next station!"
 
"hey! girl! thats security! they really dont tolerate this!" I protested.
 
This didn't phase the girl one bit.
 
"You-Fucking-Piece-Of-Shit-Bastard!!" she screamed as her slaps turned to punches.
 
"OW! hey! It wasn't even a real kiss! OW! I was jus teasing-"
 
that statement earned me a nice blow to the nose...
and it actually hurt quite a bit.
 
"I'm NOT some BITCH you can just do whatever you want with, you DISGUSTING PEVERTED WOMANIZING-"
 
"YOU TWO!"
 
A short chubby man came storming towards the us.
 
"ENOUGH!" He shouted, in a whiny voice. "Both of you hand me your tickets and follow me."
 
"wha-?!" The girl started to protest
"-Don't argue! Do what I say! I am in charge!"
 
I handed him my ticket and sighed. The girl was a bit more stubborn and continued to scowl at the man for a moment, before viciously rummaging through her bag and throwing the card in his face.
 
"Hey! You need to show some-" the man started.
"-Dont tell me what I need to do you ugly midget! What are you 50? You're almost shorter than me! No doubt a virgin with such an unsightly appearance and pathetic career choice! OOOH, I'm A BIG BAD SECURITY MAN. LOOK AT ME DISPLAY MY POWER BY KICKING THESE YOUNGSTERS OFF THE TRAIN. Go to hell, you pudgy fart."
 
The passengers on the train all eyed the the small man, expecting some sort of vicious reaction for the girls outburst
 
The security man was silent.
But only because he was enraged beyond the point of words.
He quickly turned on his heel and jerkily motioned for us to follow him with his shaking hands.
 
I followed behind the small girl with a smirk on my face.
 
She was such an angry person..
 
.
.
.
 
20 minutes later, we arrived at the next station and were forced to exit the train...
 
105 miles away from our destination..
There wouldn't be another passing through for the next 5 hours...
I was stranded in some rural town with this fiery little she-devil.
I didn't even get her name...
 
"Ah, this is unfortunate.." I commented, walking over to the train station bench the girl was sitting at.
"You know what this means, don't you?" The girl said in a dangerous tone.
"...Hm?"
"You're Paying for my ticket on the next train."
I laughed.
"Not likely, girl. This isn't entirely my fault, you overrea-"
"-YOU-KISSED-ME-ON-THE-MOUTH!!" the girl exclaimed. "FUCKING SEXUAL HARRASMENT? ARE YOU THAT RETARDED?"
"More name calling?..pfft'. Y'know, you were already pissed off before I came around."
"Take a hint next time, you-"
"-So what's your name?" I said, interrupting her before she could spew another insult. "I mean, If I'm going to pay for your ticket, the least you could do is tell me your name."
For a brief moment, I saw the girls flicker from a scowl to suprise.
But only for an instant.
"I don't owe you anything." she growled.
"I just asked for your name...Stop making everything difficult. Just like on the train. If you're negative about eve-"
"IT'S HIYORI!" the girl cried, exasperated. "NOW PLEEAASE. FUCK. OFF."
"Hello, Hiyori. My names Kenjuro. Mind if I sit next to you?"
"...."
"You see what i'm doing here? This is a public bench. I dont have to ask, but I'm being polite."
"Be my fucking guest." She said standing up, "I'll sit on the other bench."
"Good deal."
 
About an hour passed before I decided it would be better to occupy my time actually doing something, instead of waiting another 4 hours for the next train. It was already 2 pm, and had we been on the train, we wouldve been served lunch.
 
I doubted there was any respectable places to eat in this pathetic looking town, but there weren't many options to choose from.
I stood up, deciding to explore a bit.
 
"Eh, Hiyori, would you be offended if I treated you to lunch? Surely not.."
 
No response.
She was lying on the bench adjacent to mine, with her back towards me. I assumed she was sleeping.
 
"Well, I'm off, then." I said walking towards what appeared to be the main road to the town.
 
 
 
If only I had known then what a mistake it was to be to have involved myself with that girl, at all.
