"talking"

thoughts

Kaori waltzed into her homeroom when the teacher gave the signal. She smiled, "Watashi wa Ikeda Kaori! [1] I'm an exchange student from the U.S. I'm 18, and my birthday was a week ago-January 3rd."

The teacher nodded. "You may sit next to Omi-kun. He'll show you around…" She looked around. "Is he late again?" she asked, annoyance lacing her voice.

Omi was gasping for breath as he entered the classroom. "Gomen! I overslept!" He handed the teacher a pass before walking to his seat, not noticing the new girl that was still up front.

"Omi-kun?" his teacher called.

"Yes?"

"A new student will be sitting next to you."

"Nani? I mean…konnichiwa!"

The girl smiled. "Ikeda Kaori." A slight accent graced her Japanese.

She was about the same height as Omi, maybe a couple centimeters taller. She wore a red beret over straight, shoulder-length blood red hair. Narrow dark brown eyes looked at the classroom. She followed Omi, and some comments reached her ears.

"Ano, I don't think that Omi would like an American."

"Demo…her name is Japanese."

"Not her looks."

"Hai!"

She sighed and followed Omi to her desk.

By the end of the day, they had become quite good friends. Omi said he had to show her an anime, Gundam Wing. [2]

"Mechs and bishounen." he explained.

"Bishies!" she squealed, before telling him that he would have to show her as soon as school ended.

When they arrived at the flower shop, Youji looked at Omi. He raised an eyebrow, "Aya! Ken! Look! Our Omittchi is growing up!"

Omi glared at Youji. "Kaori, you can hang around for a bit, I have to help the guys with the shop and I'll show it to you when I'm done."

Omi got his apron from the wall, where it was hung. After putting it on, he was swamped by a group of fangirls and attempted to move towards any customers.

Youji looked at Kaori. "What's your name?"

"Ikeda Kaori, you?"

"Kudou Youji. It's a pleasure to meet someone as beautiful as you. Would you like a flower?" he asked, producing a full red rose. "A full red rose represents beauty…I think it represents you." [3]

Kaori blinked, and then flushed slightly. She took the rose from his hand gingerly, as to not get pricked by the tiny thorns. "Thank you."

Youji lowered himself to her eye level. "No problem…beautiful." He winked and sauntered away to the cash register.

Kaori stood there blinking, only to have someone run into her.

"Sorry!" the young man said sheepishly. "I didn't mean to, the tree was in the way." And yes, he was carrying a potted tree.

He put it down on the ground, wiping his hands on his apron. "Can't say I met you before. Oh! You're the girl that Omi brought. Nice to meet you. Hidaka Ken." He put out his hand, and Kaori took it.

"Ikeda Kaori."

He looked at the rose and nodded, "I see you met Youji. Don't worry. He's a playboy and does that to everyone-male or female." He smiled. "You just gotta meet Aya now. Nice meeting you, see you around." He picked up the tree and continued on his way, but not without bumping into a taller man.

"Ken! You should watch where you are going."

"Sorry Aya! I can't see, and I'm being swamped."

Aya glared at everyone around him. "If you aren't buying anything, GET OUT!"

Miraculously, they obeyed.

Only Ouka and Kaori disobeyed.

Ken looked over to Kaori. "The redhead is Aya, he doesn't talk much. He's not ignoring you. Isn't that right, Aya?"

Aya looked at Kaori. "Fujimiya Aya."

"Ikeda Kaori."

There, the conversation ended, if you would even call it a conversation.

Omi looked up at Ouka. "A dozen violets. Here you go! See you later!" He watched her walk out the door and sighed. He untied his apron and looked at Kaori.

"If you want, I'll show it to you now. You can borrow the DVDs…it is 52 episodes long, including the OAVs. The series is only 49 episodes long."

"Hai! Thank you!"

TBC…

A/N: Just wanted to get her introduced.

[1] Many of you know, but they say their last name, or family name first in Japan.

[2]My first love *_*

[3] Bad pick-up lines courtesy of Youji. I even sent them to people, asking if it was a bad pick-up line. 4 out of 5 said it was bad, and 1 out of 5 said it was very odd.
