AC(Author's Comment): Hey guys! This is Julie-dono! Well this is my first ficcie! Please go easy on me! Well here goes! and The japan names...well I just thought of it...so the names might be pretty gay lol.

The sound of running footsteps was heard in the hall of Sakura High School.

"Aw crap! I'm late...again!" said 17 year old Himura Kenshin. He soon slids to a stop ruining the soles of his shoes. He faces the door and opens it.

"You're late...Mr. Himura"stated his teacher Mrs. Hoshizawa. Kenshin bowed towards his teacher as an apologie. His fiery red hair hanging down his face in a loose ponytail. Mrs. Hoshizawa points toward his seat.

He made his way and sat at his desk. His best friend Sagara Sanosuke who sat from his right grinned.

"Hmm...whats the excuse this time?"he said. Kenshin blushed. Why did Sano always push him to that level?

"Its not that.."he said still panting from his run,"I was up all night studying." Sanosuke just looked at him.

"Jeez Kenshin, you're such a book worm!"

"Quiet Mr. Sagara! Or you'll be seeing me after school!" said Mrs. Hoshizawa.

"I already have detention after school"said Sanosuke putting his arm over the back of his seat. Some of the girls giggled, but he didn't care he was expecting Takani Megumi to giggle at his remark.

He watched as she applied dark red lipstick on and flipped her black hair that shone brightly under the flourescent light. She then noticed someone looking at her. She faced Sanosuke. He smiled at her and growled.

"Roosterhead"she said quietly to herself.

"I'm sorry Sano I just don't know what you see in her. Shes stubborn, rude, a prep, and she looks the same everyday as so with everyone else"said Kenshin.

The dresscode for Sakura High was to be in uniform. Girls were supposed to wear red and black plad mini skirts, and they wore white tops with a colar. The boys were red and black plad pants and the top was also white with a colar.

"Kenshin you just don't understand...heck you don't understand anything about girls anyway. You studder when you try to talk to them and you sweat when you try to ask them out"said Sanosuke. He felt pity for his red headed friend.

Kenshin didn't say anything...it was all true. He wasn't good with women at all! He didn't have a father to help him with that. He didn't have a mother too. They died when he was young. He never talked about how they died. He lived in an orphanage and stayed there until he was 15.

He inherited his parents money...a lot of money! So he grabbed himself an apartment he could afford and kept his grades up so he would be able to earn himself a scholarship, but he hasn't recieved one...yet.

As Mrs. Hoshizawa was reading aloud poetry by William Shakespear, Kenshin felt very tired. His eyelids grew very heavy. He made a mental note to himself to stop staying up so late.

Suddenly, the classroom door opened. Mrs. Hoshizawa smiled and welcomed the stranger in. The class watched as they saw a girl appear infront of their eyes. But this girl caught Kenshin's eye.

She was beautiful. Dark blue eyes, long black hair, her body complexion was simply glamorous. Her hair was down, strings of her hair were rested onto her shoulders. Her skin was so light and perfect it was like a doll.

"Class, please welcome our new student Kamiya Kaoru"said Mrs. Hoshizawa. Kenshin breathed in her name...a name that he would never forget.

As Kaoru passed Kenshin to sit at an empty desk, he could smell her perfume. The scent was unremarkable. Jasmine he thought to himself.

He turned around and met her eyes. She blushed and gave him a small smile. He smiled back also blushing. He felt like he was flying. She smiled at me! he said to himself.

But Kenshin was so enticed to her perfume he leaned forward too much and landed on the floor. Ouch! The class laughs at the swirling-eyed Kenshin.

"Oro!"he muttered to himself. He gets up his face is as red as his hair. The class still couldn't help but chuckle at Kenshin he was such a klutz.

But Kenshin didn't seem to notice he kept thinking of...Kaoru.

There was something about her that made his eye twinkle. He had the urge to get to know her.

He wanted to be close to her.
