Chapter 1: the fist day back

The alarm clock buzzed with that annoying "deet deet" as the time
flashed "6:00am" from under the covers Kenshin Himura reached out and
groped for the "snooze" button. After finding his target he rolled
over in bed and groaned as any normal high school student dose on the
first day back to school He sat up and ran his fingers through his
long red hair and scratched his head he looked around still bleary
eyed. He slid out of bed and plodded his way to the bathroom. After
taking care of his personal business he proceeded to shamble zombie
like to the kitchen. He opened the pantry finding nothing but ramen
noodles, boxes of minute rice(, "mmm the breakfast of champions" he
murmured hoping to have better luck in the refrigerator. He opened it
to find it all but empty save for some questionable looking sushi, a
jug of water, and a oozing mass of green stuff that may at one time
have been a cabbage. He closed the fridge door deciding he had better
chances of living if he had the noodles for breakfast. So he popped
them in the microwave, poured himself a glass of water, from the tap,
no telling what might be wrong with the stuff in the 'fridge , the
microwave beeped and he retrieved his noodles. Splitting the
disposable chopsticks he quickly devoured the contents of the cup.
Still extremely groggy he picked up his bag and keys and headed out
the door of his apartment. He walked down the stairs and started down
the street to the bus stop. Though still half asleep he noticed
everyone was staring at him strangely. "What gives", he wondered "have
you people never seen a tired high school student before?" When he
reached the bus stop he sat down on the bench and waited "geeze why is
this bench so cold?" he thought to himself, he looked around and
noticed he had the whole bench to himself "strange" he thought as he
looked down at his watch. It was at that exact moment that he realized
two things, first he didn't have his watch, and secondly he was still
in his underwear. Sweat beads began to form on is forehead as he
turned several shades of red. Covering himself with his bag he quickly
made a bee-trail back to his apartment complex. Slamming the door shut
behind him he dropped his bag and ran to his room and quickly pulled
his uniform pants on and slipped into his shoes. He grabbed his jacket
and ran out the door in a vain attempt to make the bus. "Great, first
day of senior year and I'm going to be late" he thought as he ran to
the stop. As he was arriving the bus was just leaving. He continued to
run after it waiving his arms to try to get the drivers attention, but
it was a vain attempt. His body slumped and he sighed "oh well, guess
I have to walk, that I do"

1 hour later.

A very sweaty and exhausted Kenshin dragged himself through the
courtyard of Sukemoto high. Pushing his way through the crush of
students, he shoved open the front door and walked to the men's
restroom. He needed to wash himself off. He took some paper towels out
of the dispenser and soaked them under the faucet. He unbuttoned his
shirt and wiped his armpits out. From behind him someone said "Himura,
what do you think you're doing?" he tuned quickly and the rag he had
been using to wipe his 'pits with flew out of his hand and landed
right on the face of Mr. Hiko, the physics teacher. He pealed the damp
rag away from his face and threw it to the ground "Shouldn't you be
taking care of your personal hygiene at home Mr. Himura?" he asked.
"Y.yes sir, I'm sorry but I missed the bus and had to run to make it
on time." He made a motion at his general appearance " and I didn't
think it would be proper for me so show up to the first day of class a
mess that I did not" Mr. Hiko grinned "alright, forgiven this time but
I'll expect you early at kendo practice today We're going to discuss
the practice schedule today." Buttoning his shirt back up mumbled,
"yes sir" as he wet his hands and ran them through his hair. He tied
it in a loose ponytail, as always, and left the restroom. Leaving Mr.
Hiko to finish fixing his hair in private. Kenshin hurried to his
first period class, Mr.Gensai's honors science. Setting down at a desk
he laid his books out and then let his head sink to his desk to get
some kind of rest before class started "What else can go wrong today?"
he thought. If he knew what the rest of the day would bring, it would
have been better if he had just stayed in bed.
