Always Friends

Dialog

"…" talking

'…' Thinking

1. The start of a new friendship.

I was standing in the middle of the street looking at the same place were my boyfriend just dumped me. Then it slowly started to rain. It was light at first then it started to hummer down. I didn't even care to notice anything anymore. The person I loved just dumped me for his ex-girlfriend…I couldn't believe it.

People were running past me trying to find some cover from the rain.

Then it hit me, I was alone in now. I looked at my feet and started to cry softly. The rain mixed with my tears and my hair was starting to stick to my face. I was standing in an empty street now. No one was around. I could feel the rain getting harder on my body.

I felt some one towering over me. I looked up and saw a man with an umbrella.

"Why are you standing out here like this? You're going to catch a cold if you stay out here any longer." said the man with sliver hair and you could just see his eyes throw the glasses he wore. Dark eyes.

I looked at his eyes and they softened.

"From the looks of it something bad just happened to you...come with me and I can clean you up! I own a restaurant down the street called the Akabeko. I'm sure one of the girls that work there will give you some clothes to wear...what do ya say."

I looked at the ground.

'Should I go with him? I just meet him for god's sake. But he does own the Akabeko and I do go there all the time to see Tae. I think I will go. I need someone to talk too.'

I looked up at him and he smiled. He put a warm comforting hand on top of my shoulder and he squeeze a little for comfort.

"Don't worry everything is going to be ok..." the man whispered softly.

When we got to the Akabeko Tae was there to greet us. "Hello Enishi how are yo...Kaoru is that you? What happened?" Tae said concerned.

"Take her and get her cleaned up ok Tae!" Enishi said. She nodded and she put her arms around my shoulders and led me to the back to take a shower.

Once we got there Tae looked at me and said, "I will go get some clothes for you ok Kaoru?" I nodded my head and closed the door. I took my clothes off and got into the shower. I turned on the hot water first, for it to heat up and then turned the cold to get it to the right temperate that I liked. I washed my self up and got out. I hear a knock at the door when I was drying myself. I rapped the towel around me and opened the door a little to see who was there.

"Here Kaoru these are some of my clothes ok? Put them on and come down to table number 9. Enishi wonts to talk to you ok?" Tae said with a smile. I nodded. Tae turned around and started to walk away.

"Tae...?" I called. She turned around.

"Yes?"

"Thankyou..." I said with a small smile.

She returned my smile and left. I closed the door and got changed into the blue pair of jeans, light yellow top and some black boots. I walked out and went to the table where Enishi was drinking some tea. I took a seat across from him and he smiled, I looked at him. "Thankyou...umm...err..." I said trying to remember his name. "Yukishiro Enishi... and you are?" he asked. "Kamiya Kaoru..." I said with a small smile. "That's all right. I don't like it when girls are out in the rain like that!" he said while pouring me a cup of tea.

"I suppose you wont to know what happened?" I asked quietly.

I took the tea and drank the warm fluid.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't wont to and I will listen when ever you are ready..." he said "but just remember I'm always ready to talk to you when ever you need to ok?" I giggled.

"Well at least I got you to laugh and that's a sign of improvement!" he said while on of his eyebrows raised.

I looked at him. "I think we are going to be really good friends Enishi" I said with a smile. He smiled in return. "I think so too."

For the rest of the night we chatted about our life, families, enjoyments and lots of other things. We both learnt a lot about each other for just one night. It was closing time. I stood up from my seat and looked at Enishi.

"I think I better get going or my room mate might start worrying like she always does." I said while picturing what she would look like.

He stood up. "Do you need a ride to get home?" he asked. "Nah, it's alright I can walk its only two blocks away from here..." I said.

"Then I will walk with you. You know the streets of Tokyo aren't very safe at night time." he said. I smiled and nodded.

When we got out side the air was fresh and it wasn't raining any more.

We walk to my house in silentness, until we got to my apartment. We walked up to the door and I stopped. "It's been really nice meeting you Enishi and thank you for cheering me up. I hope we can meet some other time?" I said with a smile. He looked up at me.

"Same goes for me. I hope you feel better Kaoru..." he said. He turned around and took one step down and looked at me one last time. "Bye..." he started to walk away.

"Enishi wait..." I called. I ran up to him. He turned around and looked at me questionary.

"Yes?" he asked confused. "Let me give you my phone number so you can call me some time..." I said. He smiled and got out his mobile. "Ok go for it..." I told him my phone number and he gave me his.

"Thankyou...well I better get going then bye Enishi." I said. "That's alright I hope to talk to you soon. Bye Kaoru..."

We both turned around and walked our separate ways.

^_^

When I closed the door behind me I saw my roommate. She was standing in the middle of the hallway with her hands on her hips, tapping her foot on the ground. I couldn't help but smile at that.

"Kaoru, where have you been?" she asked stubbly.

"Misao you're not my mother you know?" I said while I walked past her.

She rolled her eyes at me and followed me. We got to the elevator and she turned to me.

She opened her mouth but I put my hand up to stop her.

"I'll explain everything when we get to our apartment. Ok?" I asked. She nodded. We walked into the elevator and pressed number 9.

When it got to our level we walked out. Passed 5 doors and stoped at number 99.

Misao opened the door; I walked in and started to make some tea.

Misao took a seat at the table near the full size wall window and looked at me.

I picked up the tea and walked over to the table and set down everything. I poured her some first and then for me.

I looked into my cup for a while then slowly turned my gaze out the window.

"Akira dumped me…" I said just above a whisper.

Misao's eyes widened. I didn't say anything after that.

"Kaoru…I'm sorry…" she said while also looking out the window. "Who was that guy with the sliver hair?" she asked. I smiled.

"His name was Enishi…"

I told her everything. She smiled.

"Kaoru sounds like to me that you are already starting to get a crush on him. I'm glad that he found you. I have to meet him sometime. Invite him over for tea sometime." She said with a smirk.

"Misao please…" I said with a blush.

I didn't know what to say. When I was with Enishi I didn't even think about Akira… 'Akira…' I felt a warm tear run down my cheek.

Misao's smirk faded. She came over to me and hugged me. I started to cry.

"Don't worry Kaoru everything is going to be alright. I promise…" and that's all I heard until I fell asleep.

-_-

"Kaoru?" no answer, "Kaoru…come on sleepy head get up…it's a good day today!" I heard Misao's cheery voice.

I opened up my eyes slowly. "Hmmm…" I grumbled "Misao go away…I wont to go back to sleep!" I said.

I looked at her and she was standing next to the window.

I looked at her face and it had a grin on it. 'Oh that can't be good' I thought.

She lifted her hand and it pulled the screen that blocked all light. "Arrrgggg…Misao…" I said while covering my eyes.

I got used to the light though. I got up into a sitting position and I lifted my eyes to wear Misao was standing.

I got up off the bed and walked over to her. I looked out the window.

It was a nice scene.

The big green mountains, with the fog hovering above it. But when I looked down I saw the town that we lived in. Tokyo.

I heard the birds chirping then heard Misao's calm voice.

"Its beautiful isn't it…the birds always sound so lovely in the morning…well Kaoru get into some good clothes were going out and its on me ok?" she looked at me and gave me a very bright smile. I smiled back.

"Ok…where are we going?" I asked. "I can't tell you eheheheh…" she laughed.

I gave a small pout. "Missssaaaoooo" I whined. She laughed and walked out.

I got some fresh clean cloths; a light blue tank top and a pear of black pants. I walked over to the shower that was in my room.

When I got into the shower I felt so relaxed. I couldn't wait until Misao tells me where we are going. I hopped out and got changed and went to the kitchen.
