Circus Extravaganza

Chapter Two: Did You Know High School Rhymes With Toadstool? XD

"Hi Aoshi!" Misao waved furiously at her grandfather's apprentice. "How are you doing today?" Misao exclaimed. Aoshi Shinomori didn't smile, responded, or wave back to her. He had his usual cold expression on his face as he walked right past Misao. Misao's right eye twitched as she saw Aoshi walked away.

"GRRR!!! Did you see that? He didn't even notice me at all!" Misao exclaimed to Kaoru, who was standing right next to her. Kaoru had seen the whole event.

"Misao, why do you bother with that guy? He's ignoring you on purpose." Kaoru said to her Aoshi-obsessed friend.

"But Kaoru!" Misao whined, "He's too hot to let go that easily! Maybe if I get to know him better then he'll like me then. Or if I'm lucky, he'll been madly in love with me!" *_*

"Whatever Misao. We better get to school right now or else we're be late."

Misao agreed with Kaoru and the two best friends walked to school, carrying their book bags.

"So…have you thought about going to the circus or what?" Kaoru asked.

Misao had almost forgot about that. Kaoru had told her about the circus called the Juppon Gatana yesterday. A circus would be nice to see and get her mind off of some stuff. Hint, hint, Aoshi.

            "Yeah alright…whatever." Misao said while looking at the sky.

            ^_^"Great! I'll tell everyone else to come too when we get there!"

            Misao smiled at her happy friend then that boy in the circus flyer came about to her mind. For some reason, she keeps thinking about that boy on the cover, the one with the smile.

            "Uhhh…Misao? Something going on?" Kaoru asked looking at her friend who looked deep in thought.

            Immediately Misao snapped out of her thoughts. "Oh nothing, I was just…excited about the circus that's all! ^_^' Misao lied.

            "That's the spirit!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kaoru and Misao arrived in school just a few minutes after their encounter with Aoshi. Misao and Kaoru had lived only a couple blocks away from each other and their neighborhood wasn't far away from their high school, which was called Meiji Private High. Meiji Private High was crowed with students from different grades, hustling about. Misao and Kaoru looked just like all of the girls there since they had the to wear the same uniforms.

"Hey look! There's Kenshin!" Kaoru tugged on Misao's arm and pointed to a certain red hair boy.

Kenshin Himura was a junior at Meiji High. He wasn't one of the popular people or the geeks. You could say that he's a normal seventeen year old. But he's one of the nicest people around the school. Always kind to his enemies and even more kind to his friends.

Kenshin sat on a wooden bench outside of the school main entrance. The waving of Kaoru caught his attention and gave a smile to the two girls and gave a wave. Misao and Kaoru were both two of his good friends that he knew around this school. Kaoru and Misao always joke around with him but he was a little closer to Kaoru. There was a feeling inside him that told him that he likes Kaoru more than a friend but there was also a girl name Tomoe that he was close to also. He's not sure which one he has true feelings for but he wasn't rushing to find out soon.

"Good morning Miss Kaoru, Miss Misao. How are you two this morning?" Kenshin said as he walked up to them.

"I'm doing okay." Misao responded.

"I'm feeling great! Kenshin, there's something we want to ask you." Kaoru said with a big smile. Misao wasn't surprise at Kaoru sudden happiness. It wasn't about the circus that was coming up, it was because of her seeing Kenshin. Seeing Kenshin would always light up her day. Kaoru doesn't want to admit it but she has a crush on Kenshin.

"What is it Kaoru?" Kenshin asked.

"The circus is coming up this weekend and so far, Misao and I are going and we want to know if you want to come with us."

"The circus, huh? I'll see if I'm not busy this weekend and then I'll call you today to tell you if I can go, that I will." Kenshin replied back with a smile.

"Sure thing! Now all I have to do is to ask Sano and Megumi."

Just after Kaoru said that, Sano arise from the shadows, along with Megumi next to him. Sano wearing his school uniform with his usual red headband and Megumi with her uniform and nicely brushed hair to her lower back.

            Sanosuke Sagara also seventeen as Kenshin. He's kind of like the big macho guy at school that sometimes picks on the little students but he's a nice guy. He wouldn't do anything like hurting them. He's also as stubborn as mountain. (Jezika: Stubborn as a mountain? O_o Squeaks: Yeah. ^_^")

            Megumi Takani is also seventeen. Her talent is in Medical problems like healing the sick and her dream is to become a doctor when she gets out of college. So far she has been studying with Doctor Gensai.

            Just as the two walked up to Kenshin and the others, Sano gave a big, rude yarn.

"How rude! Next time cover your mouth when you're about to yarn so we don't have to see the inside of your filthy mouth." Megumi snapped at him as she pulled her bangs out of her eyes.

"Hey fox, I can do anything I want anytime I want." Sano snapped back.

Megumi gave a, "Humph" to him and turned away to face the others with a smile. "Good morning."

"Good morning, Miss Megumi ." ^_^x

"Megumi! Sanosuke! Are you guys busy this weekend?" Kaoru exclaimed to the twosome.

Megumi held her hand to her cheek and said, "Let me see…Nope, that's usually when I go to medical class with Dr. Gensai but he had a business trip to go to so I'm not busy."

Kaoru gave a satisfying grin and looked over to Sanosuke.

            "I ain't busy." Sano said plainly.

            *_____* "Wonderful!" Kaoru cried out, "Could you two please join us in going to the circus this weekend? Pleeaaaassssee!"

            Megumi gave surprised face and Sano just laughed out loud. Kaoru didn't know what was so funny.

            "I don't know what is so funny. Why are you laughing?"

            "Well duh, Missy. The circus is for little kiddies and I don't even know why you even bother to go."

            Megumi replied after, "Ohohoho! For once I agree with rooster head."

           ¬.¬+ A vein popped out of Kaoru's head. An extremely scary expression filled Kaoru's face "The circus…is…fun…You…are…going."

            \O.O/ \O.O/Sano and Megumi

            "YES MA'AM!" Shouted Sano.

            "FINE HERE!" Shouted Megumi.

            ^___^ "Great! It's this Saturday at 3:00 p.m. I'll go and pick you all of you guys up!"

            Then suddenly the bell of their high school rang and it was time to get to class. Kaoru, all happy and cheerful hummed as they walk. Sano and Megumi sweat dropped and Kenshin gave a smile. Misao was daydreaming about Aoshi as she walked with them. Stars appeared in her eyes as she imagined Aoshi and her getting married. *_*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            Soujiro walked into the cage and opens its doors, carrying a tub full of meat and a smile on his face (like always). He closed the cage door behind him and then walked toward the large tiger in front of him. With a smile on his face, he greeted the tiger. "Hey Kisa!"

            The tiger lifted its head and its golden eyes looked at the young teenager.. Its golden fur and black stripes look polished. Huh? Oh hi Soujiro. Is it lunchtime already? she asked telepathically.

            "Yup! Some fresh meat for you." He replied as he dropped some of the raw red meat on the newspaper.

            Soujiro was a special boy. He was eighteen and was very smart with great athletic coordination to add it. Almost like a child prodigy…okay maybe he is a child prodigy, but this isn't the point. The point was that Soujiro had a special ability like no other human being had. He was able to communicate with animal telepathically or verbally. Of course, not a lot of people knew about this except the people who worked at the circus, such as the owner of the Juppon Gatana circus and Soujiro's guardian, Makoto Shishio.

            Kisa, a tiger, was Soujiro's best animal friend. They were linked together since young Kisa was a kitten.

            The tiger walked over in its graceful ways to her human master and friend and started to eat the meat. While that happened, Soujiro put his fingers though Kisa's orange mane. "Remember, we have a show on Satuday, so we got to do some more practicing!"

            Yeah, I know. She replied bluntly while tearing through the meat with her teeth.

            "Man, you must be hungry!" Soujiro pointed out watching the female tiger eat so hastily. "Well, I have to do some shopping for Mr. Shishio and buy some pastries for myself. I'll see you later!" He said and went out. He was hungry and he wanted pastries.
