Chapter Three- Guess who the other teachers are.

Hello!! I'm back. My homework is overloaded. I'm grounded from my DDR. but mom forgot the INTERNET!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! I RULE! Anyhow, this chap will be really crazy. The broom man's coming! Battosai makes more than one appearance, too. I'm sure you peoples will like that. *JH's dog barks* The text is being a baka. It won't come out right!!! Pardon any messiness.

Kenshin: Hikari-dono does not own me, Kaoru does. Hikari-dono does own Kenishi, Akari, Kurai and Kokoro. Please do not steal them, de gozaru. They are copyrighted.

Hiko set his students down in their seats, smirking. One other person had an evil grin on as well. Apparently, Hiko forgot about his baka desshi's other personality.

"Seijiro-sensei. Why don't you come over here for a bit?" growled Battosai, amber eyes glinting maliciously. Hiko stopped dead, then whirled. Upon seeing the gold eyes, he laughed. Hiko pulled out his sake bottle and took a huge swig out of it. Oh yes. very teacher-like.

"So. The baka hitokiri decided to show his face. How has it been, locked up by the pink shirted rurouni?" Hiko plunked down in a desk next to Battosai. The manslayer shot his sensei a 'shut up or I'll kill you' look. The drunkard must've forgotten that he HATED that name. Kenshin briefly took over and screamed 'MAGENTA!!'

"Have you ever been asked to seduce a girl, have a kid who's the spitting image of yourself, and get a free reincarnation? I'd say I had more fun than you did, spending a whole CENTURY up on some blasted mountain, you old git." he shot, making his sensei look very disgruntled. Hiko, being Hiko, smacked Battosai over the head, hard. His victory was certified by a faint 'Oro!'

Kaoru had no idea what to think of Battosai and Hiko. She watched as the two launched into a full-scale verbal war, roaring out all kinds of profane, painful and unprintable insults, each being longer and more inventive than the last. They must have done that a whole lot while Kenshin was young last life. The shoji slamming open caught her attention. A boy with spiky, orange and black hair sauntered in, followed by a tall, messy fox demon with the symbol 'bad' on his back. Wait a second, bad on his back, tall, messy. SANO!

"Sanosuke Sagara! You stupid, flea bitten, rotten MONGREL! You'd just leave poor Megumi back in Japan while you follow the life of a booze hound in CHINA?!? I saw ALL of it from heaven, you know!" Kaoru stomped up to the shocked man, her hands done up in tight fists. Hiko and Battosai stopped instantly to watch the fireworks- this was much more fun than coming up with ways to insult one another. Sano cowered with his hands over his head, knowing full well what was coming.

POW! SMACK! "EEEEAAAAAOOOOOWWWW!!!" WHAM CRUNCH!

Battosai, Hiko, and the tiger head boy winced in unison as Sano was slammed by an uppercut and left jab into the ceiling. Pieces of wood rained down upon the three bewildered onlookers and the pissed off dog demon. Hiko drank more sake. Why was the bottle still full? The tigerboy approached cautiously, obviously debating with himself on whether or not to risk his neck for his friend. He came to a consensus, and inched forward.

"Busu. he stayed with her for years.. come on! Sano's a nice guy.." the kid pleaded, trying to look sweet so as not to incur Kaoru's wrath.

"YAHIKO!?! Well! At least you stayed with Tsubame! Yup, I taught you right! I always knew you had more brains than that idiot." Kaoru jerked her thumb at Sano, who was trying to extricate his head from the hole in the ceiling. Kenshin and Battosai both oroed at once, and Hiko took a swig from his huge, magically refilling sake bottle. This would be one interesting homeroom this year.

Kenshin, Sano, Yahiko, and Kaoru walked down the hall where their history class was supposed to be. Humans stared at the 'oddly dressed' new kids, whispering to one another. Battosai took this as an opportunity to exercise his favorite pastime- terrorizing unsuspecting idiot bystanders. Tossing the rurouni aside, Battosai took control. Whispering to Sano, who approved, Battosai whirled and growled. The overall effect of two-inch long fangs, scary golden demon eyes staring from the shadowy planes of a assassin's face, and long claws were a rather big shock, since the guy was really nice looking just a second earlier. Put simply, the hall was oddly empty whenever Kenshin came by.

"Found it! Chou-sensei's room is here." said Kaoru, pulling the fox and dog demons into the room by the ears. Yahiko had already fled- he knew his sensei too well. Thankfully, no humans were in this room- it smelled good, for one. Sano looked skeptical, however. Chou.. Where in the seven hells had he heard that name before? It was something bad, he was sure of it. Like the glowy box with people trapped inside of it, this guy probably was a big ogre or something just waiting to eat his soul. The glowy-people- eating-box was a baaaddd omen..

A Texas-like accent rang out over the class' yapping. "HEY! Rooster man! Git yer stoopid li'l butt in an' SID'DOWN!!". (Guess who.) Kenshin and Kaoru took seats near a silver haired kid, watching as Yahiko tried to calm a hysterical Sanosuke. The man was bawling out swears at the one man he hated most. (Jeez. Just wait till' math, Sano. Just wait. Mhehehehehh!) Sano knew something would go wrong. He had that bakayaro broom dude Chou for a teacher. Life is so full of shit sometimes. First the runt, then a megaTanuki, and now the damned BROOM! Man did school bite like a rabid monkey this year!

Chou swaggered up to Kenshin, bending down to see the man eye to eye. "Well, I'll be darned, it's the Battosai himself. With a sword in school. His little miss' got one too. Rule one here- NO SWORDS IN SCHOOL!" he roared, Kenshin covering his now ringing ears in agony. Kaoru summoned her bokken out of thin air and smacked the offending blonde square in the head. "You. Do. Not. Hurt. My. Kenshin. Got it?" she snarled, threatening to strike again. Chou backed away meekly- he remembered Kenshin's missy, and why no one got on her bad side. Bokken hurt like hell when they impact your head at high speed.

The class was spent with introductions- there were eight people in this class: Kaoru, Kenshin/Battosai (boy was that one a strange intro), Sano, Yahiko, Kenishi (a wolf demon), his mate Akari (a dog demon), Kurai and his mate Kokoro (both spirit wolves). Typical of a mixed demon classroom, really, so no one was worried. Kenishi, Kurai and Kenshin got along quite well, as did the three girls.

They would be together in all classes this semester, then rosters would be scrambled up again. Next was math- the worst class.

Humans were in this class, but only really advanced ones. They weren't too bad, but still. Humans are noisy as well. Battosai got another kick out of terrifying them, but a sharp rap on the head from their teacher prevented any deaths from shock. The hitokiri got ticked, whirled, and prepared to cuss out whoever just did that.

"Why the h- eh eh.. WHY YOU TOOTHLESS OLD WOLF! KAMI KUSO BAKA!" Battosai discovered that the teacher was none other than Hajime Saitou. Just great. Sano was crying, and Yahiko merely looked puzzled. Yes, this year would indeed be interesting.

"Alright, kiddos-Battosai, no growling please-let's get started. I know half of you from the Meiji, so how's about we get you lovebirds in the back to introduce yourselves?" asked Saitou, glaring at Kenishi and his friends. Akari stuck her tongue out, indignant. However, they still did as the old wolf said. Nodding approvingly, Saitou moved on to the day's lesson.

"The man is very prompt. Rude, yet prompt." Noted Kenishi, golden ears back slightly from irritation. Kenshin laughed, pointing to a pitiful looking Sano.

"He and Saitou go waaay back, to our previous life during the Meiji. They, um, hated each other with a vengeance. Were you around then?"

"Yeah, I was born somewhere around 1786. I'm older than most here- save for Kurai, Kokoro, and my Akari" replied Kenishi, squeezing his mate's hand affectionately. Akari smiled, obviously concocting some evil plan to annoy the teacher one way or another, judging from the wicked glint in her eyes.

"Well, this should be an interesting class this semester."

Hahaha! Finally updated! I'm doing this instead of a research report and an autobiography! (I'm an unwilling teacher's pet- I get away with EVERYTHING!) Does anyone want fluff and waff between Kenshin and Kaoru, because I do! Oh, and Tsubame is going to be in here, but not much. I will do Yahiko and her if you ask! Much comic relief ahead, I'm working on slapstick! Poor oro-chan, he go through so much, I torture Saitou and Hiko instead. *walks off, thinking aloud* Should I give Hiko a wife?? Kenishi, Kurai, Kokoro and Akari are my original characters! I wuv them. Visit my homepage for artwork. It should be up soon, so check often. Love you, reviewers! POCKY FOR ALL! ~~Jiro Hikari
