Chapter 1: Off to SchoolThe ring of a chiming alarm clock suddenly shrouded the snores, which crooned through the air. A lazy arm slid to the right, blindly aiming for the top of the singing instrument.
"Kenshin, could you get that?" Sanosuke fretted as he rolled lazily to the other side of his bed. "Kenshin!"
"Stop yelling Sanosuke! Can't you see I'm trying to get some sleep around here!"
Yahiko huddled the blanket over his forehead trying to dim the bright sunlight now pouring into the apartment.
"Not this time guys. No skipping school today," Kenshin advised. "Now get up or you'll be late for class."
Kenshin silenced the screams of the chiming alarm clock and cracked open the blinds over the windows above them. He then dragged himself over to the bathroom with a towel bundled over his shoulder.
"Aww come on Kenshin!" Yahiko loudly lamented. "At least ease up on the opening blinds would ya?"
"I wish he would stop bitching about school all the time," Sanosuke grumpily added. "And really loosen up and relax for once in a while." Sanosuke reluctantly raised his head off the pillow and sat propping sorrow at the edge of his bed.
"So where had you been Yahiko?" Sanosuke asked suspiciously. "You seem to have a hangover. What's up with that?"
"Gimme
a break Sanosuke!" Yahiko huffed
angrily. "At least I wasn't gambling my
life away like your sorry ass."
Kenshin returned with the towel wrapped loosely around him to be greeted by the
sound of bickering exploding through his head.
"Don't you guys think it's too early for arguing?" he asked irately.
"And don't you think Kenshin, that it's time you got a hair cut…?
"Didn't think so."
The room suddenly erupted in thunderous laughter from Sanosuke's silly comment.
"Alright guys, now let's get serious. Remember we have to meet the girls before eight."
"Oh yeah, and Megumi already told me that she had to speak to me about something," Sanosuke added nervously. "Sure don't wanna get her angry again. So I'll hit the showers next Yahiko, if you don't mind."
"No problem Sanosuke. You guys leave before me anyway!" Yahiko shouted loudly crawling from under the sheets on his bed. "So Kenshin," he now said switching conversations. "What's going on with you and Kaoru?
Kenshin stared at Yahiko blankly, ignoring the curious audacity seeping through his eyes.
"I got ya. I should mind my own business right? So then I'm assuming that you didn't get any. Damn those girls! They need to loosen up!" Yahiko fretted rubbing his hand vigorously behind his head.
"Your turn Yahiko!" Sanosuke shouted loudly.
"You're done already?!"
"Almost dressed and ready to go!"
"Do you think he showered?" Yahiko whispered to Kenshin naughtily.
"Who knows? But I'm not going to smell and find out."
"Yahiko! Are you showering or not?!"
"Jeez Sanosuke! I'm coming!
I better hit the showers before someone gets all crazy." Yahiko ran in the direction of the bathroom undressing himself carelessly, spilling clothes unto the floor.
"Man, that Yahiko is just so messy. I'm surprised you haven't thrown him out yet Kenshin." Sanosuke came strolling down the corridor with a huge towel draping across his head. He zipped up the jeans that were bundled at his ankles and stood in front of the mirror jelling up his hair.
"No joking around this time Kenshin, but don't you think you really need a haircut?"
"Why?"
"I mean come on, it's growing past your waistline dammit. That should be enough reason to cut that shit off!"
"The girls seem to love it," Kenshin added cockily. "And besides, you don't hear me criticizing you about yours." Kenshin dropped himself on the nearest sofa and stared at Sano as he venerated himself in front the mirror. "Come on Sano, throw on a t-shirt and let's get out of here. It's seven forty-five. We're gonna be late."
"It's that late already? I'm surprised the girls haven't called yet. Usually they'll call all hollering about us being too slow…
Yo Yahiko! It's seven forty-five man! Sanosuke shouted. "If you need a lift then come on, let's go!"
"You
guys can go ahead without me!" Yahiko
replied from the shower. "I'll catch
you guys at school."
"Okay then. Well, we'll see you later!"
Sanosuke dropped the nearest shirt over his shoulders while Kenshin grabbed the
keys and quickly unlocked the door.
"Toss those keys over Kenshin. I'll drive today."
"You sure about that Sano?'
"Yeah, and let's not argue about it." Sanosuke locked the apartment door behind them and they both headed downstairs towards the car. "Time to meet the girls…"
****
"Sano, slow down would ya?"
"That's exactly why I wanted to drive. Because if you drove, we'll be cruising all slow." Sanosuke turned and hit a right corner before slowing the car down to the nearest curb. "See. Look at that. We're here already. And we still have eight minutes to spare. Come on don't just sit there. Let's go get the girls." Sanosuke hopped over the side of the convertible and ran over to the apartment building to ring the bell.
"Hello?"
A muffled voice came through the receiver as Sano pushed his finger down on the doorbell.
"Hey missy. It's me, Sanosuke."
"Hey Sanosuke."
"Grab Megumi and meet Kenshin and I downstairs."
"Be there in a second."
"Hey Kenshin!" Sanosuke shouted over. "Slip over to the backseat would ya! The girls are coming and I want Megumi in the front seat next to me!" Sanosuke returned grinning towards the car while Kenshin switched himself over to the rear seat.
"Hey guys!"
They quickly directed their attentions to look at the girls who were now walking down the pathway. Sanosuke, who was now leaning against the car, ran over to embrace Megumi, while Kenshin swung open the car door to welcome in Kaoru.
"I guess it's never too early," Sanosuke teasingly commented as he looked on at Kenshin and Kaoru snuggling in the backseat. He walked Megumi over to left side of the convertible before jumping over in driver seat at the right. He revved up the engine slightly before speeding off down the narrow street.
"Slow down Sanosuke."
"Not that again Kenshin. I can't slow down or we'll be late for school."
