Chapter 3: Oh, I see. Wait, That Rhymes!

~~~Previous chapter

Then a girl with a very long braid came in front of Kaoru.

"Now who the heck is this?" she asked mischievously.

~~~Chapter 3

"Misao! Well, uhm, yeah," stuttered Kaoru," As you could easily see, he's a guy and he's a newbie, and he's my friend, yeah."

"Right," Misao said, surely unconvinced, but she did not press on the matter further," Well, good enough for me. So, who are you, newbie? Give me your name if you don't want me to call you newbie for the rest of the year. Or maybe I should call you Kaoru's boyfriend." She grinned evilly.

"Well. I'm Soujiro Seta," Soujiro said as he blushed at the thought of being Kaoru's boyfriend. This went noticed by Misao.

"Hmmm," Misao hummed," Judging by your blush, my predicament is true. You are Kaoru's boyfriend!" She pointed accusingly at poor Soujiro, then she turned around over to Kaoru. "I approve of him. He seems nice and he seems to get your mind off of Himur-" Misao closed her mouth with her hands quickly. "Eh, gomen nasai, Kaoru-chan. I wasn't aware of who I was speaking of. Do forgive me."

Kaoru's smile faded slowly," Its all right Misao-chan. Just, remember not to say his name where I could hear it. Then everything will be a-okay." Then the hall bell rang. "Ano, let's go to our classes. Hiko-sensei will be very mad at me if I'm late." Kaoru, Misao, and Soujiro all went to Hiko- sensei's class for homeroom.

Kaoru, Misao, and Soujiro all came in and hurried to find a good seat. (The best seats are the ones farthest from the teacher) They all sat near each other. Kaoru sat in the seat in the far corner, Soujiro sat next to her, and Misao sat in front of Kaoru.

The tardy bell rang and Hiko-sensei walked into the room. Hiko is Kenshin's master for the Hiten Mitsurugi style. (Duh!) Hiko reminds Kaoru of Kenshin so when he first stepped into the room; Kaoru's eyes brimmed with tears.

Hiko, of course, noticed this. 'Is she the girl my baka-deshi is dating? She is very pretty,' Hiko thought,' Wait! I saw my baka-deshi kissing some other girl this morning. Then I saw two other girls watching them two. One of them just stood there and the other punched my baka-deshi in the face. Humph, serves him right to cheat on his girl friend. Wait a minute. The girl that didn't do anything was her! When school is over, baka-deshi will get the beating he deserves for hurting this girl so much. She has good grades and is very polite to the teachers. She's very athletic and is fair and respectful to other students. Yes, it would give me great pleasure to beat my baka-deshi. But first, I must prove the theory of my baka-deshi cheating on her first.' (Whoa, this is a looong paragraph)

He walked over to Kaoru, who was still trying to fight off tears, and asked her out loud. "Did my baka-deshi cheat on you?" Hiko asked her.

"Ha.ha.hai, Hiko-sensei," Kaoru said, her tears finally falling. No one dared to look at her except her friends because they knew that it would only make Kaoru feel worse if they stare at her when she's crying. Every one in school loved her. (Except some of those conceited girls, otherwise known as bitches like Tomoe, and Kenshin.)

'Yes, baka-deshi will get such a beating.' thought Hiko maliciously. "It's alright, Kaoru-chan, I will make sure my baka-deshi will get a beating when he gets home, ok?" Hiko said reassuringly as he draped his arms over Kaoru's shoulders. Kaoru took this as permission to cry her eyes out and she did.

Author's Notes: Yeah, I know this chapter is really short, but I wanted to update ASAP. Poor Kaoru. But don't give up hope in her yet! In the next chapter will be a lot of Kaoru + bokken + Kenshin's head = lots o' humor action going on. And here are my responses to the reviews.

FireKitsune: Here's the update. Happy?

Ewunia: Wow, gee. I'm so happy! At least someone appreciates my Soujiro + Kaoru idea. (Ahem. SageRyan25. ahem)
