To the inspiration for this fic: MissBehavin. Thanks for giving me this idea! (At least to write a Kaoru/Saitou story)
And to the rest of my very nice reviewers who have review my pervious stories! You guys are the best! ^^
Please enjoy. Please excuse this short first chapter.

"And that concludes Channel Two's Dusk News at 6 o'clock. This is Emma Kido, and as you all know, tomorrow night will be my last night. It has been a wonderful sixteen years in this spot, but I'm leaving my seat in good hands." The woman winked into the camera, "Thank you and good night Tokyo!"
Applause filled the spacious newsroom. Emma Kido was the famous Japanese news anchor on Channel Two. She was the Japanese female version of America's CBS Dan Rather, and now she was retiring.
Emma returned to her small office. It was empty now; its bright walls that had been pasted with numerous articles were now bland and white. She glanced out the window, how she would miss this view of the city.
"Emma?" A soft woman's voice came form the doorway.
Emma spun around and smiled brightly, "Hey! Came to see your new room?"
The other woman nodded, "I know it must be hard for you..."
"Nonsense. Now I have time for my grandchildren." Emma beamed, "You're definitely are the person for this job, you know that right?"
"Emma... you're my mentor... I can't think anyone who would be better as anchor."
"Don't be so humble. You earned this job..." Emma glanced at the other woman's face, "Anxious about your first day?"
The other woman nodded solemnly, "I'm afraid I would be able to live up to what you have done."
Emma grinned, "I was too... fear of living up to my predecessors."
"You had it harder though, the first female anchor in a prime time major network news."
Emma smiled, "Let's take a walk... I'll be able to give first hand tips."
The other woman gladly accepted, "It's a life dream."
"It was mine too... my reality... and soon to be yours." They walked along the hallway, being greeted by various people.
"You know you were my inspiration..."
Emma chuckled, "Of course... you've told me before."
"But I felt I should tell you why..." Emma perked up, interested. This she had never heard before and was eager for a brief look into her companion's world. "I turned on the television on night before dinner, and there you were. You were so confident and... nothing short of great. I was memorized by your skill and precision, your empathy and passion..."
Emma shook her head, "It's all experience dear. That's all it is."
"You've got talent." The woman implored.
Emma shook her head again, "Yes I did. But you, you have a fierce determination." Emma's eyes rose to the sky. Her arms made a dramatic swept over the city, now beginning to twinkle with lights, "You're destined to great things."
"And this is the greatest of all." The woman said quietly, understand Emma completely.
The two women stopped in front of the lobby. The large picture that hung from the ceiling that had Emma's face on it for sixteen years was coming down.
Emma turned her head, tears glistening. "It was a good run." She said softly, "You deserve it. I guess I'll be seeing your face up there tomorrow... and as long as after that."
The woman gazed as Emma's face was rolled up, "You're coming back to visit, right?"
"Just to see your first day!" Emma's face broke into a grin, "You'll do fine."
The woman check her watch, "I need to go."
"Right. It's the BIG day tomorrow." Emma gave a sly smirk.
The woman was already half out the door.
Emma called back, "Congratulations!"
The woman turned back, head tilted in confusion, "On what?"
Emma rolled her eyes, "Silly... Congratulations on your wedding Kaoru Kamiya... or should I now say Himura?"
"Emma... thank you SO much." Kaoru smiled, "It's not every day you talk to your idol, and even get congratulated on the coming wedding. You coming?"
"I did RSVP." Emma winked, "I'll see you tomorrow morning Mrs. Himura."
"I'm not yet... but I'm close." Kaoru called back.
Kaoru entered the street, hailing a cab. She glanced into the lobby, to see the workman start to put up and new picture- hers.
"I'm close to getting everything I've always wanted in life."

Hi! This is my new story... my baby. So I'm taking this slow... with all the schoolwork and three other unfinished stories. It might take a while to update... but I'm going to update.
It's not a Kenshin/Kaoru... it's actually going to be a Kaoru/Saitou. See how it plays out! (~.^)
Want to talk: Dustmorning is my screen name
Thanks for reading and it would be very much appreciated it you left a review! ^^
No flames... constructive criticisms please! ^^
