Chapter 9

Explained things, but where do we go on from now?

The lights flashed and zoomed by as I drove home. I roared my car to go fast so I could just be at home and be at ease.

I saw my street and I slowed down. I drove up the street and turned into my dark drive way. I pressed the bottom that was on top of my dash board.

The electric roller door opened up slowly and I drove into the garage. I pulled my keys out and I lent forward and rested my head against the stirring wheel.

How did my life turn out like this, why did it have to be me?

"Why was I the one that was chosen" I asked myself.

I pulled my head back up and undid my belt. I slowly got out of the car and then I slammed it shut. I stalked over to the front door and went in.

Silence greeted me; I was alone in my big house. I had no company. I let my sense relax and I walked over to the couch.

I flopped down and spread myself out on my leather couch. I stared at the roof then closed them.

I frowned when I heard some muffling noises. I opened my eyes and looked towards the kitchen. I got up and walked behind the couch and got out my sword.

I silently walked over to the kitchen. I walked in the shadows and leaned against the wall while gripping my sheath of my sword.

"Who's there?" I asked emotionlessly. I waited and I had no answer but the muffling noises were still going on.

I clenched my teeth and I turned on the light. I spun around and looked into the kitchen. My eyes darted everywhere.

I looked onto the ground and saw rubbish everywhere.

"What the-" my sentence was cut short when something jumped onto me and I fell to the ground.

"Woof" it yelped. I looked down to see a black puppy with blue eyes looking straight back into mine. It woofed again and its tongue hanged out and licked me in the face.

I scrunched my face up in disgusted because of the smell. "Ewck get off me you mangy mutt" I said angrily and pushed the creature off me.

I got up and wiped my face from its slobber. I looked down at the creature and it whimpered and cried.

I sighed and closed my eyes. "I'm sorry" I said. I knew it didn't understand me but it barked back at me.

I opened them and looked around wondering how it got in. I saw a hole in the fly screen at the window.

I raised an eye brow at the dog and it looked at me innocently as if it didn't do anything. I walked up to it and checked to see if it had a collar. It had no collar.

"You better get back outside and go home" I order. He barked and I picked it up. I walked over to the front door and I placed him down.

He looked up at me and I pointed towards the streets.

"Go home" I said. It titled its head to the side and kept looking at me. I growled.

"Home, go home, you know home?" I said while starting to get a bit frustrated. He turned around and trotted down the stair and walked over to a bush. Lifted its leg and did its business.

"Oh just great" I wined "but I think you missed your target, I'm OVER HERE" I shouted. First this thing broke into my house and made a complete mess in my kitchen and now it's pissing in my bush.

I turned around and slammed my door shut, I walked back into the kitchen and started to clean things up when I heard scratching. I put the last bit of rubbish in the bin and walked over to the front door.

The scratching had stopped and I looking out the window and saw him curled up into a little ball sleeping on my front door mat.

"You just wont leave my alone will you" I said out loud. And the dog looked up at me and started to thump its tail happily on the mat.

I signed and walked over to the front door and opened it up. He was up and wagging his tail furiously. I knelt down and I put my hand on its head and started to pat him.

"I guess you can stay here, but if your owner comes I'm giving you back ok?" I asked him. He barked and licked me in the face. I smiled and let him go through.

He ran straight to the kitchen and I followed him quickly afraid he would go through the rubbish again.

"Hey what are you doing?" I called; when I got there he was at the fridge scratching at it.

"That'd be right, hungry?" I asked. He turned its head toward the door and just starred at it as if waiting for it to open by its self. I walked over there and opened it up. I got out some raw meat and placed it in a bowel and placed the rubbish where he wouldn't be able to reach it.

I sighed and I felt tired. I walked up stairs and took off my clothes and went to bed in my boxers. I fell on the bed and pulled my covers over my body and rested my head on the soft feather pillow.

I heard soft patting and it walked into my room. It stopped and then it jumped onto my bed. I groaned and he crawled its way over to me.

"Get off the bed" I said into the pillow. He crawled over to my face and licked me. I pushed his head away from mine but he just came back and kept on licking.

I buried my face into my pillow so he couldn't touch my face. He laid down and rest his head on my arm.

I looked over to him with tired eyes. His eyes were closed and slowly started fall asleep. I patted his head with my other hand and looked sadly at him.

"I guess your alone to huh?" I said, no reply came and I didn't expected one. I halved smiled at him.

"Well not anymore, you've got me now" I said "and I guess I'll have to think of a name for you too"

I thought of Kaoru and slowly eyes started to drop shut. My last thoughts were of Kaoru and how she could help me think of a name for him.

***************

"Akira…he…tired to…"

"He tired to what Kaoru?" I asked feeling uneasy.

"He had tired to…make me…do…" she looked away and out the window and had a distance look in her eyes remembering what had happened.

I took her hand into mine letting her know that I was here for her and gave a little squeeze for comfort.

She squeezed my hand back and looked at me teary eyed. "Akira…he was a very abusive boyfriend…at first he never seemed like he could even hurt a fly…but it was on a constant basis, almost every time I was with him he would have hurt me…I had told Misao and she would always say I should get away from him…but…I could never bring myself to do it…I loved him…"

She stopped as a single tear trickled its way down her smooth cheek. I used my spear hand and wiped it away. She half smiled at me and looked out the window again.

"But that wasn't all he had done…" she said painfully. I clenched my jaw and looked out the window.

'How could some hurt such a beautiful flower?' I thought to myself as I waited quietly for her to finish.

"One night in winter…he came here drunk…I tried to calm him down because he was so angry…he hit me…but I still asked him what was wrong…he-he then told me that…his girlfriend was dating someone else and got purposed to…I had told him I was his girlfriend but he said that he had another one…and had been sleeping with her…before we even went out…he said that he just need someone else to toy with…he said I was dirty…good for nothing self centered bit-"

I put my hand over her mouth from saying the rest of the words and put her head on my chest and let her cry.

I stroked her hair soothingly and I close my eyes. I knew that Akira was a bustard from the very being.

But I never knew that Akira was seeing my sister when he was with Kaoru. That angered me he was hurting and abusing both the people I cared about the most.

"Kaoru…" I said softly. She sniffed and looked up at me from my chest.

"Don't ever think that you are the things Akira said you were, it's not true, you're a beautiful flower that will always shine" (A/N: I know its corny, can't think of anything else *shrugs*)

Her beautiful dark blue eyes were looking at me and I moved closer to her. She half closed her eyes and looked at my lips. I tried to hide the smile I had and I moved in.

Our lips brushed each others softly but I couldn't hold back. I loved this girl since the first day I found her out on the streets.

I pressed my lips harder onto to hers and I licked her lips asking for entrance. She complied and our tongues battled with each others.

*******

I didn't know how it happened but I was kissing Enishi and it was very intense. It felt good but not as good as I thought it would be. For me it didn't feel right.

'But why?' I though. A picture of Kenshin floated into my head and I pulled back suddenly. I realized then that I didn't love Enishi, I loved Kenshin.

I pulled back from Enishi and looked at the ground. I saw him frown in the corner of my eye.

"Kaoru what's wrong?" he asked concerned.

'What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG? EVERYTHING IS WRONG?' I screamed in my head.

"Enishi…I can't?" I said softly.

I felt his hand on my chin and he turned my head towards his so that I was looking in his eyes.

"But Kaoru I lov-"

"Enishi NO" I said sternly and I felt like crying right there and then. I was going to break his heart.

"Enishi I can't be with you…" I said.

"Why?" he asked hurt.

"Because…" 'I like someone else' I thought but I couldn't bring myself to say it.

"Why?" he asked again. I turned around from him and looked in the opposite direction.

"Because I don't like you in that way" I said and turned around again to see that he was looking at the ground.

"I guess…this is a good-bye then?" he said while looking at me with painful eyes.

My heart contracted and I felt so bad hurting him like the way I did.

"No, no" I said while moving back to him and grabbing his hand.

"Enishi, you are a great friend, an every unique person, strong, handsome, you have a great personality, but I just don't see you in that way" I said softly.

"I don't want to lose you as a friend Enishi, never ever, not after the way you have helped me."

"But I want to be with you Kaoru" he said while gripping my hand.

"I know you do but I can't" I said.

"We will Always be Friends no matter what" I said.

"Promise me that we will stay friends forever Enishi" I asked hopefully.

He looked down and then looked back up at me with a half smile.

"Promise" he said.

"Pinky promise" I said seriously while holding up my pinky finger. He chuckled and hooked his pinky with mine.

"Promise" he said. I smiled at him brightly. At least we will stay friends.

He signed and got up.

"I better go Kaoru" he said while looking down at me. I looked up at him and got up and walked him to the front door.

He stepped out and looked back at me.

"Kaoru" he said.

"Yes?"

"Thank you…" he said and walked away.

I blinked. 'Thank you?' I repeated in my head. 'Thank you for what? Breaking your heart?' I thought confused.

I closed the door and went back to the langue room to finish the mess that was left.

*******

I got into the car and put my seat belt on. I grabbed the wheel and sighed. I leaned forward and rested my head against it.

My heart was broken at the moment. But there was still some hope.

"At least we're still friends" I heard myself say.

I started the car and turned and drove home all I wanted now was some sleep.

When I got to my sister's house I went in as quietly as I could. I didn't want to wake up Tomoe because I knew she would ask what was wrong.

She could read me like a book and could always tell what was wrong with me. I headed towards the spear room I slept in sometimes and went in.

I turned on the radio softly and listened to the music.

"Ok and now we have Dosed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers" said the radio announcer.

I closed my eyes and listened to the words that were playing.

(A/N: I know these are annoying to read but just read the first five lines then you will understand)

Dosed

"I got dosed by you and…

Closer than most to you and…

What am I supposed to do

Take it away I never had it anyway

Take it away and everything will be okay

In you a star is born and…

You cut a perfect form and

Someone forever warm

Lay on lay on lay on lay on

Lay on lay on lay on lay on

Way upon the mountain where she died

All I ever wanted was your life

Deep inside the canyon I can't hide

All I ever wanted was your life

Show love with no remorse and

Climb on to your seahorse and

This ride is right on coarse

This is the way I wanted it to be with you

This is the way that I knew that it would be with you

Lay on lay on lay on lay on

Lay on lay on lay on lay on

Way upon the mountain where she died

All I ever wanted was your life

Deep inside the canyon I can't hide

All I ever wanted was your life

I got dosed by you and…

Closer than most to you and …

What am I supposed to do…

Take it away I never had it anyway

Take it away and everything will be okay

Way upon the mountain where she died

All I ever wanted was your life

Deep inside the canyon I can't hide

All I ever wanted was your life…

I pushed the off button and squeezed my eyes shut. I gripped my blanket and buried my face into my pillow.

I single tear rolled it way down m cheek and I feel asleep only thinking of Kaoru…
