Starting off again
**************************************************************************************************************************
Sitting down at his desk Sano stared at the windows wishing that school would end. He ended up at the all boys' school because his family had died and the state determined that he had to go to school. That was when he noticed what looked to be a girl walking towards the school. Sitting straight up he watched it until it disappeared into the school. A few minutes later the teacher came in and smiled.
"Class this is your new student Kenshin Himura. He may look to be a girl but trust us he is male, otherwise he wouldn't be here right now. Kenshin please sit down next to Sanosuke Sagara please." Kenshin bowed respectfully and sat down where the teacher had indicated. Looking slightly nervous he stared down at his hands. Then the class burst into laughter. Looking up he gave a questioning look. Then he noticed what was so funny. Someone had dumped a small container of paint on his head. Looking at the teacher he stood and walked towards the bathroom with his eyes still downcast like they had been when he had walked into the class.
Walking into the bathroom Kenshin started to clean his hair off. When he got all the paint out he managed to get all of the excess water off, he then walked back to the class but hesitated when he heard them talking.
"You must learn to grow up. You know I'm surprised at your behavior! You have never acted like that towards a new student. What has gotten into you?"
"Well we have never had a girl as a new student either! Besides it was funny! Anyway it's not like we hurt him, we were just playing around."
"Just because you were fucking around doesn't mean that you can go around treating him like that! Besides that trick was immature and even if I did want to tease him I wouldn't have gone that far! Now grow up!"
"I guess Sano is right. Okay we admit it was childish."
~I guess that Sano is the leader of the school. ~ Kenshin thought. Walking back in he sat down and averted his eyes to his lap again. Sano looked out of the corner of his eyes to see that Kenshin was looking up just enough to see what the teacher was writing on the board. Then he noticed that Kenshin wasn't taking notes like everyone else. The teacher noticed that to. Erasing what was on the board he looked towards Kenshin.
"Not to tease you or make you think that I do this to all of the new students but if you think that you don't have to take notes like everyone else. I would like you to rewrite all of the notes out on the board Kenshin." Standing up Kenshin walked back towards the board and picked up the chalk. Quickly he wrote all of the notes on the board and sat back down. The teacher was astounded at this as he sat down the teacher picked up the chalk and began to write the notes down again.
By the end of the period Kenshin was very embarrassed. Scrambling out of his seat he hurried to his next class. Sitting down he pulled out pen and paper like everyone else. Beginning to write the notes down he realized that the day was not going the way he had hoped. Finishing the class easily he walked out of the room and towards gym class. Putting the outfit on he blushed at how it made him look kind of petite and girlish. Beginning to stretch out he heard the laughter behind him and groaned, this was gonna be a long day. Then he bent over backwards and flipped without using his hands. All of a sudden the laughter stopped and Kenshin turned around to see the looks that he was getting.
"What?"
"How did you do that?"
"I just did! I have always been able to do things like that!" he said and then turned back around when the teacher called for his attention. When the class started he felt a little foolish because they were in their track unit. Jogging along with everyone else he noticed that Sano was barely trying. Because of his long legs, all he had to do was walk briskly. Jogging up next to him Kenshin smiled.
"Hello Sano!"
"Hi Kenshin. How's your first day going?"
"Awful! All the kids laugh at me and make me feel like I'm a clown at a serious court case. They keep calling me a girl and the only way I got them to stop laughing in the gym was by doing a back-flip without using my hands!"
"Well it seems as if you aren't doing so hot. Why don't you meet me at this dance club tonight at seven? Oh and Kenshin I suggest that you wear something form fitting!" He said as he ran into the locker rooms to change and shower off. Looking down at the paper he noticed the name and memorized it. Then he ran in and through it out. Changing he wondered why Sano was inviting him to go dancing. Throwing on his school uniform he ran to his last period.
Walking home Kenshin thought about what he was going to say to get out of the house that night. Walking in he was hit in the face and sent flying backwards. Looking up he saw his father looking down on him.
"Where have you been?"
"In school!"
"Liar!"
"No I swear I was! See here's my homework and the forms the school wants you to sign." he said almost timidly. Looking up his father caught sight of the fading black eye.
"I hope that no one has seen that! I don't need child protection on me again."
"I made sure that no one saw it," he said meekly. His father nodded and signaled for him to go do his homework. Walking to his room he sat down and began to do his homework. Looking up about two hours later he stood up and began to cook dinner. When his father came into the kitchen he became upset at the fact that it wasn't on the table already. Pulling his fist back he punched him and Kenshin was sent through the air and crashed into the table. Backing up Kenshin noticed that his father was slightly drunk. Trying to shield himself from the flurry of blows that came his way, Kenshin began to think of Sano.
He walked to school with the lunch he packed
Nobody knows what he's holding back
Wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday
He hides the bruises with the denim and sleeves
Sitting in homeroom the first thing that everyone noticed was that he had his hair down. Keeping his face down during the entire class he noticed that Sano was watching him inquisitively.
The teacher wonders but he doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes he wishes he was never born
Walking over to Kenshin at his locker after school he pulled his head up and stared at his face, which was covered in bruises. Pulling Kenshin to his house he began to take care of his bruises. Then he pulled Kenshin's head down for a bruising kiss. Looking startled Kenshin pulled his head back and fell out of the bed. Sano got down next to him and kissed him again. Kissing back Kenshin wrapped his arms around Sano's neck. Falling backwards Kenshin moaned as Sano began to kiss his neck and then he pulled his shirt off. Beginning to suck one of the taut nipples Sano smiled as Kenshin moaned loudly.
Through the wind and the rain he stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams gave him wings and he flies to a place
Where he's loved
Concrete Angel
Falling on the floor next to him, Sano looked at the clock. Kenshin caught sight of it as well. Standing up he got dressed and then kissed Sano goodbye before rushing out the door. Racing home Kenshin knew he was going to get it this time. A figure in the darkness shook their head silently knowing how this would end.
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be to late
Through the wind and the rain he stands hard as a stone
In a world he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings and he flies to a place
Where he's loved
Concrete Angel
Sano raced towards Kenshin house the next morning. He had a bad feeling. Kicking the door open he saw what had to be part of a really big struggle Racing into Kenshin's room he fell to the floor. In the middle of the room he saw Kenshin's lifeless body. Picking up the phone he called the police and detained Kenshin's father. The next afternoon the art class erected a concrete statue of him and placed it in the school garden. Sano committed suicide the same day.
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel boy with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world had forgot
Through the wind and the rain he stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings and he flies to a place
Where he' s loved
Concrete Angel

Hi there sorry it took so long to update! The song is concrete angel and it is by Martina McBride. I did change the song a little. The changes were the lyrics are actually written with 'she' where I have 'he'. Next I have 'denim and sleeves' and the actual lyrics are 'line and lace'. Those are the only changes. I know I barely gave them a chance but I had to do a lot of things. Ja ne!
