Chapter 1: Something Called Fate

Friday, 7:22am

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Makimachi Misao turned over and... PAK! She slapped the snooze on her alarm clock. After about five times of repeating this, she groggily looked at her clock and...

"Ahhh! Im gonna be late!" Her scream was heard throughout the WHOLE neighborhood. Luckily, her parents weren't home; they were on their 32nd honeymoon. Misao quickly ate her breakfast, brushed her teeth, and took a bath. She hurriedly put on her school uniform and with a whoosh, she was gone. Running towards Fumio Highschool, she saw that the gates were about to close.

"Oh no! They're closing the gates already!" Misao screamed. So she ran faster and faster until...

"OOF!" Misao fell to the ground. Then... the gates closed...

"Oh no! I'm too late!" and she moved around in circles while going all jelly-like.

"Are you alright?" a deep, manly voice asked.

Suddenly, Misao remembered that she had bumped into a person earlier!

"Ahh! Uhm.. don't worry about me, I'm fine! But how about you?" she worriedly asked. The young teenager looked up to reveal a very handsome face. His jet-black hair, ice blue eyes and expressionless face captivated her- especially his eyes. She couldn't help but stare at him. She had never seen anyone as handsome as he.

"Uh – is something wrong?"

"Oh! Oh! Uh... nothings wrong! Everythings perfect!" Misao said, snapping out of her trance.

"I see. Glad to hear that you're fine." The 'mysterious man' said.

"But how about you? Here, let me help you up" Misao said, at the same time helping him up.

"Agh! The gates are already closed! I wonder if I could... yeah! I'll do that!" Misao beamed. "Bye now!" Misao bid goodbye to the 'mysterious man', leaving him standing there... alone...

Misao arrived at the back part of the school.

'Great, now what's standing between me and the school is a tall wall.' Misao thought. She then got into a weird stance and closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and pushed her feet against the ground. Whoosh! Up she went.

'Hehe. Kenpo is so handy!' she thought to herself. Meanwhile, the mysterious guy was wondering what that was all about. He shrugged and started to walk towards the gates. When he got near, he started talking to the guard and after a while, the gates were opened for him...

He started to walk towards his classroom when,

WHAM!

he got hit by something, or should I say someone!

'Ouch...' he thought to himself. Then, he gets a good look at his "assaulter" and to his surprise, it was the same girl as before! She started to apologize but she was talking so fast, he didn't understand a word except for "sorry". He looked away for a moment and when he turned back, she was gone... he was starting to get curious about that girl; he started wondering who she was... then a shrill ringing snapped him back to reality.

"Oh crap! I'm late!" he exclaimed while running towards his classroom.

In Class 2, Section B

"Good morning, class!" Saitou-sensei said.

"Good morning, Sensei." The class chanted back. Saitou-sensei didn't notice, or maybe he just chose to ignore the students' lack of enthusiasm. He then proceeded to say,

"Class, this year we have a new classmate, I'd like you to welcome Shinomori Aoshi." When Aoshi walked into the classroom, Misao was shocked! It was the guy that she bowled over twice!

'So his name's Aoshi...' she thought to herself. Meanwhile, Aoshi looked at his fellow classmates and saw... her! The girl who always, well twice actually, caused him to crash to the ground. Their eyes met and he saw her blush,

'Hey she's kinda cute.' He thought.

"Shinomori-san, you may take the seat next to Makimachi-san." Saitou-sensei said, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Makimachi? Who?" Aoshi asked.

"That girl over there, Makimachi, Misao." Saitou-sensei replied pointing towards her. He started walking towards the seat assigned to him, the whole time he was thinking,

'Misao... Makimachi Misao, huh? Now I know who she is...' Aoshi, arriving in front of his seat, sat down and looked at Misao. Misao smiled at him but he just looked away from her.

He didn't know that he had just hurt her...

On the other side of the classroom.

"Oh man! Most of the girls are drooling over that new guy! Crap!" an annoyed Sano exclaimed. His two best friends, Kenshin and Soujiro, burst into laughter, causing their teacher to shoot death glares at them. They immediately stopped laughing and pretended to listen attentively to the lecture. After a while, when they were sure that the teacher wasn't looking in their direction anymore, they resumed their conversation once again. Suddenly...

"Ne, ne Kenshin. Can you accompany me to buy some food later?" Kaoru asked. "Sure, I'd love to, Kaoru-dono!" Kenshin replied with a smile that made Kaoru melt.

Breaktime

"Shinomori-san, would you like me to show you around?" Misao asked. Aoshi nodded his head, it was a good chance to get to know her and he had nothing better to do anyway.

"Ok! Let's go then!" Misao exclaimed, pulling Aoshi out of the room. Misao was dragging Aoshi from room to room, talking and laughing loudly. She was, as usual, very, very hyper.

Meanwhile...

"Ano... Kenshin, isn't that Misao-chan with... Shinomori-san?" Kaoru asked, eyes widening in shock.

"Eh? Ya, it's them." replied Kenshin.

"Oh, I pity Shinomori-san, he's bound to be exhausted later." Kaoru commented.

"Ya..." was Kenshin's reply. Kaoru just stared at Kenshin.

Kaoru's POV

Haay… do I even have a chance? Look at the way he treats me, he doesn't show even a bit of interest in me...

Kaoru frowned at the thought of this. She just stood from the table and walked away. She knew that Kenshin wouldn't go after her and that just deepened her pain. She sighed once more.

Kenshin's POV

flashback

"Oh I pity Shinomori-san, he's bound to be exhausted later." Kaoru

end of flashback

Geez, im so happy right now. I hope recess period will never end and time will be at a full stop with just the two of us together.

Kaoru stood up and walked away.

Eh? Kaoru-dono? What's wrong with her? Is she not feeling well? Did she forget something? Doushite? Maybe I should check on her... wait, it could be she just needs time alone... yes, it's best to leave her alone for a while...

"So you're ready to go around on your own?" Misao asked after her LONG tour.

"Makimachi-san, I appreciate your help, thank you. Don't need to worry about me, I'm not a kid." Aoshi coolly replied.

"Ah... gomen. So, I'll be seeing you around then. Ja!" and with that, she left.

"That was quick..." Aoshi said, shocked. Aoshi walked around the corridors and passed a room which stole a glance from his ice blue eyes.

flashback

"We have club time this Friday, so you'll have to pick your choice in this room" Misao informed him while pointing to the room.

end of flashback

"Club, huh?" Aoshi commented. After some thinking, he entered the room.

"Misao-chaann!" a voice screamed. Misao jumped.

"Aaaa... Kaoru-chan! Not so loud!" Misao told her genki friend.

"Gomen ne!" Kaoru beamed.

'Kaoru-chan is so happy, why is that? Could it be…'

"Kaoru-chan, what happened with Himura?" Misao said, grinning maliciously.

"Ahh! Mou Misao! Not so loud! It's just..." Kaoru blushed at the thought of it.

"Kaoru-chan, c'mon! Tell me! I'm your cousin AND your best friend, right? I wanna share your... um... happiness!" Misao explained.

"Oh... 'coz earlier during recess time... (Kaoru explained) and soon after that, he asked if anything was wrong! He asked! You know what that means?" Kaoru squealed.

"Uh..." Misao stammered.

"He doesn't hate me! Ahhhh! Life's a melon! So refreshing!" Kaoru danced happily.

"Kaoru-chan, you're saying nonsense... he never hated you! You put that thought in your head yourself! Gah! The things love does..." Misao scolded.

'I'll never fall in love… Zettai!' Misao swore.

Somewhere out there...

Aoshi stepped into the dark mansion.

"Huh? No one's home... again... I guess..." he mumbled. His parents were out on business trips all the time. They only came home once or twice a month, sometimes never. Sure, they were rich, but... Aoshi headed to his room. His footsteps echoed throughout the empty mansion. He took a bath and headed for the computer. Suddenly, he heard a knock.

"Come in." Aoshi said.

"Aoshi-sama, would you like to consume your meal now?" the maid asked.

"Ok," he replied. All alone was he... he longed for the day when someone would make him happy, keep him company because she loved him for who he is- not for his family's wealth or not just for his looks. Aoshi sighed. When would that day come? Suddenly, an image of Misao entered his thoughts.

'Misao? Why am I thinking of her? Sure, she can be cute... nice... kind... beautiful... but... is she like the rest? Wait... what am I thinking? No way. She'll never fall for someone like me. I'm not worthy of her. She's too pure... unlike me... can she be the one? What am I thinking again? I don't like her that way…'

Tomoe's POV

She was talking to Kenshin! She was with him! Kuso! Friggin' Kaoru! Can't she understand, Kenshin's mine! He's mine! I'll make her pay! I'll make her regret she was ever born! I'll make her life feel like hell! That. I. Swear...
