Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ Lovegety ❯ The Prologue ( Prologue )

Tenshi: I'm filth. No, I am lower than filth for what other reason will I have for started yet another story. I cringe each time I think about TDNSD. I'm very close to trashing the whole bit because it's not as fun writing it as it was in the beginning. I'm sorry that this may disappoint people but you'll get over it. In my opinion it never was that good to start off with. Hopefully this piece won't be another of my unfinished stories but I'm just so good at started stories and awful at finishing. So review everybody and tell me your thoughts. So without further ado I bring you…

Lovegety

The Prologue

A sleepy form lay huddled amongst a mound of blankets with slender fingers tightly clasping a down pillow over their head in a futile attempt to block out the boisterous sounds of morning. Kaoru hated mornings with a vengeance. They were only useful for sleeping in; and at the ripe old age of twenty-two, Kaoru Kamiya sill felt that way. Not only did she hate mornings but she also hated bird and their annoying songs that they seem so compelled to constantly trill out. In her opinion all birds should either shut up or die, both outcomes not bothering her in the least.

 

-

Kaoru groaned miserably as the twittering of those annoying pests still reached her ears despite the pillow that she smothered them in. They're torturing her on purpose, she knew. Telling her to get off her butt to go and do something with her life. But after four years of undergraduate studies she deserved at least a day or two to sleep in. Kaoru sighed in defeat while huddling even deeper beneath her blankets.

-

Today, sadly enough wasn't going to be one of those days…

-

A timid knock at the door interrupted her pessimistic thoughts and Kaoru removed the pillow from her head to find out who it was.

-

“Kaoru,” the person voiced from outside the room, the sound somewhat muffled because of the barrier caused by her door. “Kaoru,” the repeated, “It's me Tomoe may I come in?” And without even waiting for a reply, in strode in Tomoe Yukishiro her sister or rather her sister-in-law.

-

Kaoru stared blearily up at Tomoe who was now standing next to her and looking down at her with a small frown affixed to her face. “Kaoru, how can you still be in bed?” She exclaimed, “It's nearly eight!”

-

In response to Tomoe's nagging Kaoru simply turned her back towards her and burrowed further into her cocoon of blankets. Annoyed Tomoe snatched the blankets from Kaoru's clutched and watched slightly amused as she tried to curl more into herself, still unwilling to leave the warmth of her bed.

-

Tomoe dropped the crumpled sheets onto the floor and walked over to the nearby windows letting sunlight stream through the room as she pulled up the blinds. Kaoru moaned in agony as those painful rays hit her delicate eyes. Really what did she do to deserve this? First the birds now this; God must really hate her.

-

Tomoe walked back over to Kaoru's bedside, her patience running thin. “Really Kaoru,” she said to her exasperated, “this has gone on far enough. There's a full day in front of you so you have better get up.

-

“Don't I get any say in this?” Kaoru interjected a little bit peeved.

-

But Tomoe just ignored Kaoru's complaint, determined to finish what she had started. “Now I am going back downstairs and making you breakfast, something you college people have lost the concept of. And so, I want you to go and get dressed so you won't end up being a couch potato this summer.” With that said, Tomoe headed for the door satisfied that she got her point across. Reaching the doorway she stopped to give out one final, parting shot, “And Kaoru, if I come up here and find out that you're still in bed, there will be consequences.” And with that loaded threat hanging in the air, Tomoe left without even bothering to close the door.

-

Kaoru groaned in frustration and in a bout of anger she picked up her discarded pillow and hurled it at the door to vent out her resentment of lost sleep. The soaring pillow succeeded in closing the opened door granting Kaoru a moment of satisfaction. While it is true that Kaoru hated early mornings and noisy birds; she detested morning people most of all. And sadly enough, her dearest sister-in-law can be classified as such.

-

God must really, really hate her.

-

Sighing despairingly in self-pity, she left the warm nest of her bed to ready herself for the day. Her body yearned not to do so but her mind knew better

-

Because Kaoru really did not want to stick around for Tomoe's `consequences'.
