Author's Note:

Hey all! I've decided to start writing another AK fic! My other AK fic, Blue and White is currently on hiatus. Don't worry. I'm definitely going to finish it. But I'm taking a break from it just because it was getting difficult to continue the story.

This new fic is called temporarily "Aitou". It's "Regret" in english. I think. I just looked it up in the dictionary so I'm not sure if it's the appropriate word. If someone knows, please tell me! I hope you like this one! Happy Holidays!

Warnings: Rated M for language and some lime/lemon/whatever.

Aitou

Chapter 1

The university campus was full of life. Students laughing, hugging and smiling at each other for it was the first day of the new school year. People would normally assume that the first day would be a gloomy and depressing day, obviously because it signaled the end of their vacation. No more partying til dawn, no more white sand beaches, no more freedom. Yet the first day of school would also mean seeing the friends that you missed dearly over the summer, and chatting endlessly about how each one spent the few months of rest and recreation they had.

Oh yes, the day seems like it will be a fantastic one.

"Kaoru-chaaaan!!!"

Kaoru stopped in her tracks and whirled around to look for the owner of the voice. A crowd of students in the hall were bustling at every direction trying to find their rooms. She didn't see any familiar face. Turning back towards the direction she was going, she was stopped and surprised when someone dared to pinch her backside.

"Gah!" What the?

She turned around hotly, ready to slap the offending person...no good son-of-a-b#&!h...right in his pretty...effing...face. But when she turned, she found a goofy Misao shoved into her own face. And then a surprising peck on the lips.

"Ohayouuuuu Kaoru-chan! I missed you so much!" Misao giggled.

The taller girl was flabbergasted at her friend's actions. "M-misao! Don't pinch my butt! And the...lip...uh...kiss? Wha-"

A slender finger was raised in front of her face. "Kaoru-chan shouldn't be worried! I just thought you looked so kawaii in this new outfit of yours!" The genki girl squealed and latched her arms around Kaoru's waist.

"W-what are you doing?" she stammered.

"Yes, Misao...what exactly are you doing?" A friendly male voice spoke behind the pair.

Kaoru gasped. "Soujiro!?! Uh...get your girlfriend off of me! People are starting to stare!"

And indeed people were staring. No, correction...the boys were staring. Kaoru could've sworn she saw a bit of drool hanging on the side of some guy's mouth. Who knows what was translating in their perverted minds when they saw Misao hugging Kaoru rather intimately. Throw in the pinch in the butt and the lip to lip smack...well, you get the idea.

Soujiro rubbed his chin softly and grinned perversely. "Hmm...not just yet. I want to embed this picture into my mind for...future...use."

Kaoru waited for her ears to burst or for herself to go deaf after hearing those words coming out of his innocent little mouth. And if her eyes could pop out of their sockets, they would have at the very moment she saw Soujiro's expression. Perverted. Got the word? This is Soujiro Seta we're talking about! Mr. Smiley, Mr. Angel-face, Mr. Baby-face himself.

Her face must've looked horrified for Soujiro was in an instant waving his hands in urgency. "I'm just kidding Kao! No need to distort that pretty face of yours! I would never think of this as some kind of...lesbian...uh...tryst! The though of you and Misao in..somewhere...uhm...doing...something...naughty...uh.."

Soujiro turned red and began fumbling with his fingers. Kaoru raised an eyebrow at him.

"Haha! It's..uh...kinda...facinat-...I mean...disgusting? Yea..disgusting! Hehe." he continued and scratched his head with his right hand, looking up, trying to avoid Kaoru's death glare.

Kaoru rolled her eyes. "Riiiiiiight Sou-chan. Even though you failed miserably trying to convince me you were joking, I'll believe you, forget about everything, and walk away. As soon as Misao gets off me."

This in turn elicited a pout from the smaller girl. "Whhhyyy? I missed you! My best friend! C'mon! I'll let you go once you give me a kiss on the lips!"

The boys turned their attention to them eagerly.

Kaoru groaned.

Perverts.

Her first day as a college student was going well so far. Having graduated from high school with honors, Kaoru couldn't help but think how well she was going to do in college. College life intimidated her to a certain degree. She just hoped that she'd have nice classmates and nice teachers in all her classes.

Speaking of teachers, the sensei for their first class in College Physics has yet to show his face. The class was getting noisier as the minutes passed without anyone to chastise them.

"Mi-chan...who's the teacher for this class?" Kaoru asked her best friend who was seated next to her.

"Teacher? Ah...wait a sec..."

Misao pulled out her schedule and scanned the piece of paper with her index finger. "Physics...physics...hm...ah! Here it is! Kashi...Kashiwazaki-sensei."

"Kashiwazaki? Isn't that the one Megumi warned us about?" Kaoru wrinkled her brows, trying to remember exactly Megumi's words.

I can't believe someone like him is still teaching in our university! He may be a genius, but that dirty old man keeps on hitting on all pretty girls! He makes it seem like a joke, but still, it creeps me out! You girls best sit at the back of his class. You won't want to be near him...

"Bah! If that old geezer ever tries anything on me, It'll be the end of his sorry life!" Misao grunted and banged her clenched fist on her desk.

Kaoru grinned. "Don't worry Mi-chan. We're sitting at the back of the class anyway. And, Megumi said he prefers girls who are...well-endowed."

"Nani?!? Are you saying I'm flat-chested? I am so not! And look at you! Yours aren't that big either!" Misao retaliated and pointed towards her friend's chest.

"Misao! Don't say that! And don't point, for goodness sake!" Blushing, Kaoru quickly slapped away the pointing finger.

"Oh my God!" someone gasped.

The class had unusually become quiet and Kaoru curiously turned to look at a girl on her left. She wondered silently why the blonde had such a dazed look on her face.

"He's sooo dreamy..." another one whispered.

Dreamy? Who's dreamy?

She looked around and noticed that every girl in the class was looking dreamily towards someone in front of the class. Kaoru craned her neck to see what the fuss was all about.

A tall young man, with his back to the class, was writing something on the board. Kaoru squinted her eyes to read the words, but she was far too back in the room to make anything out of his handwriting. She assumed it was a name. Focusing back on the man, she noticed he was wearing a navy blue suit.

He shouldn't be a student...does that mean he's the teacher? Surely he can't be Kashiwazaki-sensei! What the heck is he writing? I need my glasses!

Ducking her head, she rummaged through her bag searching for her glasses when she suddenly heard him speak.

"Good Morning. I apologize for my tardiness. I know you've been expecting Kashiwazaki-sensei..."

Ah...so he's not Kashiwazaki-sensei. Kaoru mused. She was still focused trying to look for her eyeglass case, which at the moment was annoyingly difficult to find. Why do I always leave my bag in a mess?

"...but there have been some last minute changes..."

His voice sounds oddly familiar...ah! Finally! Kaoru grabbed her glasses, put them on, and looked up.

When she finally looked at him, she gasped.

She couldn't have prepared herself for this. Nothing could've possibly prepared her for what she was about to experience.

The onslaught of memories, images, and feelings into her consciousness.

Hands touching, caressing her soft flesh. His body moving with hers with need and passion.

"...and I will be teaching this class this school year..."

He moved to push deeper into her, and her body arched in response to his aching need.

"...my name is..."

She whimpered as he kissed her tenderly on her lips.

"...Shinomori Aoshi."

"Onegai...Aoshi..."

End of Chapter 1
