You're Mine
Author's Notes: Few people like this couple and I'm one of them. *figures* Anyway, it's set in the present and I kind of messed up the relationships of the Kenshin-gumi with one another. *ducks under a table* So, just read and tell me what you think.
Disclaimers: I don't own 'em. Watsuki-sama does.
First Impressions
He just saw the most beautiful girl in the whole of Shimabara High.
He and his friends were discussing the pros and cons of being part of the school's varsity teams when he chanced upon looking at his left. And there she was. Flowing brown tresses, angelic face, sweet smile, and graceful movements. Her features are illuminated by the soft rays of the setting sun, highlighting her smiling face.
His fascination of the beauty being presented to him was disrupted when a young man approached the girl and gave her one white rose. He continued observing her though as she accepted the flower and familiarly squeezed the arm of the man. He would have shrugged off the desire to get to know her when the young man appeared at her side if his friend didn't whisper an important information to him right at that moment.
"That's Sayo Muto. She's part of the school's religious group and that man is just her childhood friend, Rorenzo Shouzo, but more popularly known by his last name."
At that, he nodded and smiled briefly to his friend, then continued watching the girl named Sayo.

Sanosuke Sagara is angrily punching and kicking the double end bag hanging from the ceiling. He is sweating profusely from exerting too much effort in his attacks and from the training he had earlier. He is also sweating like that because of the "little" incident he had after his training, which prompted him to stay in the gym late to let out steam. He is having flashbacks of the scenes earlier, causing him to imagine the punching bag as Shouzo's face. He can't believe the nerve of that guy, coming in here as if he's the goddamn gift to the kickboxing varsity just because he uses a different technique, then challenging him to fight… It's a good thing he is a quick learner. In no time at all, he can deflect and counter Shouzo's attacks. He didn't get to smash the prick's face, however, as Sayo Muto decided to check on Shouzo at that moment he is preparing for his attack. His fist froze centimeters away from Shouzo's face. It didn't even come into contact. Damn! He thought, punching the bag forcefully. That look on her face!
Anji Yukyuzan looked up. He was checking the weight of the barbell when he heard a loud punch being delivered to a punching bag. He eyed his student warily. He has already gotten attuned to the moods of Sanosuke and he knows that his student is frustrated from not being able to retaliate to the team's newest member. He smiled inwardly, lest his student see this and be the object of his anger. Even if he was the trainer and several years Sanosuke's senior, they have a relationship as though they are brothers, not teacher and student. Probably because he was the one who taught Sanosuke how to fight when the latter was still a kid and he himself persuaded the other to join the varsity. He can always impose his authority to the younger man and tell him to calm down, but right now, he knows that won't work. So, he's going to try another approach.
A/N: Well, what do you think? Yeah I know. I am a bit insecure. I just need something to boost me up, maybe. *grins shyly* So anyway, if you guys want me to continue this, I'll put some kind of family tree before I post the next chappie, since I told you that I'll be messing up the characters' relationships here… except Sano's and Sayo's! *laughs madly!* Ja ne!
