Finding Love in a New World
Hello!!! The Jiro is in the house and ready for more! We have ISTEP this week- that means no homework for me and lots of story for you!! Don't worry, no Tomoe. Standard disclaimers apply. Even if you did sue me, I'm broke. All you'd get is pocket lint anyway, so don't try it.
Chapter One- Everyone's Here?!?
Kenshin paced the school hall eagerly. He was sixteen now. He still had his red hair and amethyst eyes, but there were some differences- he was much taller this life, and had no scar. He and Kaoru had been reincarnated as full dog demons in 2004 Tokyo. They were members of separate clans that lived outside Tokyo, passing off as humans. Kenshin and Kaoru still remembered their past lives, so they considered themselves still married. The two angels who gave them new life said they should do so if they wanted Kenji, their son, to be reincarnated as their own.
The two went about life in the mountains in their home villages. This year, they were assigned to go to school in Tokyo together, once they came of age. That day was today, and Kenshin could finally see his Kaoru again. Hearing footsteps, he whirled. A blur of raven and sky blue slammed into him, crying his name. "Kaoru!! Koishii, I missed you so much!" he cried, returning her embrace. His father and mother looked on in confusion. Their son had never seen the girl, how did he know her? They continued to puzzle over this as Kenshin and Kaoru proceeded to kiss each other heatedly. Kaoru's mother merely smiled, and her father was baffled.
A tan-haired dog demon strode over. This was the guy in charge, and he didn't look very pleased with the two. "Attention here, kids. It's seven in the morning, not the night. Why don't you just mark the girl if you're so in love?" he demanded, earning a death stare from Kenshin, Kaoru, and Battosai. Shaken, but not defeated, he attempted to pry them apart. No luck. After a long five minutes, Kenshin and Kaoru separated voluntarily. The man rolled his eyes. "If you'll listen now, we have to get you to Tokyo by ten o'clock. We set out now. You may call me Dante. Got it?" he snapped, pulling the two along. Tossing human clothes at them, he told them to change. Kenshin looked confused. "There's no hole for our tails," he said, eyeing the jeans. Kaoru nodded. Dante growled in frustration. "Forget it, no human should be able to see them anyway. Just put the kuso things on." The two sixteen year olds nodded meekly, following his instructions without a fuss. This Dante was not a nice man.
The threesome moved swiftly towards Tokyo. At the city limits, Dante left them. He gave the directions to their home, which was close by. Kenshin and Kaoru found their home- a nice and big one- entering and flopping down into their chairs. "Dante-san was an impatient man, that he definitely was. Sessha has no wishes to see him again." stated Kenshin, saying their guide's name in disgust. Kaoru mimicked Dante sarcastically, then pretended to smack him one with a bokken. Kenshin laughed, picturing the look on the sour dog demon's face.
A squeal from the upstairs rooms made the two leap. A green eyed, black haired girl shot down the stairs like a rocket. She was followed by and oddly familiar man who looked their age. He was tall, around 6', with obsidian hair and icy blue eyes. It was none other than Aoshi Shinomori. After that, it was merely simple logic that told Kenshin who the living missile was. Misao was here too. Kami save us all, de gozaru! (De gozaru- showing politeness to someone) "What were you reincarnated as?" questioned Misao. "We're full wolf demon. See?" She pointed to her tail, which was a deep emerald. Kaoru looked ecstatic. She flew into a detailed description of the last sixteen years. Aoshi and Kenshin merely nodded and sat across from one another. "So you and Misao are both sixteen and a half? Darn, you're older!" exclaimed Battosai. Aoshi smirked; he finally had something on Himura. Kenshin looked thoughtful. "Hey Aoshi, how're we gonna hide our tails and ears?" he asked, pointing to his bushy red tail and red dog ears perched behind his bangs. Aoshi shrugged, ears laid flat in confusion. Twitching his left ear, he watched Misao play go (a Chinese game) with Kaoru. "I guess we'll figure out on our own," Aoshi suggested, pointing out a move for the girls. Kaoru took lots of Misao's territory, making the older girl grumble and mumble. Kaoru shot Kenshin a victorious grin. Misao continued to pout.
Several games later, Aoshi and Kenshin were fast asleep, and Kaoru was about to win for the fifth time in a row. Misao fell over, snoring loudly. Kaoru just finished her off and walked off to make some tea and ramen. When the ramen was almost finished, Kaoru heard thunderous footsteps. Quite suddenly, Aoshi, Kenshin, and Misao appeared at the table, eyes fixed on the ramen pot. Misao was bouncing manically. Kenshin had his bowl and chopsticks at the ready. Aoshi looked calm, as usual.
Kaoru served the ramen, very nearly getting her hand bitten off by an over-enthusiastic Misao. Kenshin and Aoshi ate as they always did- politely. Kenshin was faster than usual, though. Misao finished, her face covered in noodles which were taken off and eaten. "Misao, what did your mother say about eating too fast?" giggled Kaoru, handing the girl a napkin. Misao wiped her face, then turned to Aoshi. She began inching her chopsticks closer and closer to his ramen. Once she was about an inch off, she snatched at it. Aoshi grabbed her chopsticks using his own, picked up a second pair and ate with those. Misao tried for his bowl again and again, but Aoshi just serenely ate as he blocked her every time. Kenshin stopped eating to watch, amused by this odd game. It took nearly ten minutes for Misao to figure out she wasn't going to get anything.
Kenshin moved next to Kaoru, across from the thieving weasel-girl, bringing his ramen with him. Kaoru giggled, figuring that Misao was trying to flirt with Aoshi. Even after being reborn as a demon, she never quit doing that. This life was definitely going to be interesting.
Ta da! Here's the first chapter. If it stinks, I understand. ISTEP was like hell on earth- I have a science teacher who is unmarried for good reason. Those of you in Jackson Creek Middle School should know. Those of you who aren't- consider yourselves extremely fortunate. Next chap school is in for our Kenshin-gumi, but their unusual appearances wreak a little more than havoc.. You don't see kids with dog & wolf ears, tails and fangs every day, now do you?
