Summary: Makamachi Misao is the popular rich girl in her high school. She's obnoxious, snobby, and rude to her classmates that are below her level, but then everything changes for Misao when a boy named Seta Soujiro transfer to her school.
Meiji: Hello My Fellow Readers! This would be my first Soujiro and Misao fic that I would be doing alone, my other is co-authored with "The Girl Who Cried Oro." I hope you guys like this fic because Soujiro's life in this story is kinda like mine. I'm writer that doesn't like to use made up characters but in this one, I guess I'll have to since I can't think of any characters that's mean in the series. I would pick Megumi and Sanosuke 'cause one's like a bully and the other's just plain mean but I wouldn't want them to be the bad guys in here because they're cool.

Chapter One: Trouble and Backstabbing
The deafening sound of the alarm clock startled the now awakening Misao from her peaceful slumber. Misao hated alarm clocks. All they do is to keep yelling into your ears until you woke up and go to school. It's a like a mom to her, but more annoying. What else that was annoying to her was every time that she wakes up, she would always have the sun's ray going straight into her eyes. That was because there was a vast window in front of where her bed was. Misao's eyes would always burn because of that.
"Damn that sun…" Misao growled quietly to herself as she pulled her blue ducky blanket off of her body. She climbed out of bed a little half asleep and half awake and stared at her blue colored clock which had a hello kitty on there. Her hand rubbed here eyes to see more clearly at the time. It was precisely 6:00 a.m. about an hour to get ready before she goes to her high school, Kyoto High.
Without much further ado, the sixteen-year-old teenager walked into her bathroom, which was on the right of her bedroom. As she entered, the color of bright green eliminated the bathroom, but Misao headed straight for the sink. She looked at her reflection on the mirror above of her sink. She saw a sleepy girl with long, dark, navy hair that ran down to her bottom and bluish green eyes to match. She shook her head as she turned on the faucet and put toothpaste on her toothbrush and began to brush her teeth. I don't have time to gaze at myself! Misao thought in her head. I better hurry up and take a shower soon before I'm late for school.
____________________________________~*~____________________________________
Misao ran downstairs and into the kitchen. She had already took a shower and got dressed in her school uniform, which was a navy mini skirt and a long-sleeve top with a sailor's collar to go with her skirt. Her long hair had been made into its usual braids so that it wouldn't get in her way.
In the kitchen, she saw her Grandpa, Okina, who she calls Jiya. He was at the table reading the newspaper as always.
"Good morning, Jiya!" Misao greeted cheerfully. No matter how tired Misao was in the morning, she would always be energetic and happy, or sometimes hyper, after she comes downstairs.
"Good morning, Misao," Okina said as he kept his eyes on the paper.
"Good Morning Aoshi-kun!" Misao greeted her brother who was sitting at the table next to Okina. He nodded and went back to reading his book. Misao rolled her eyes. Her brother was always like that. Very quiet and sometimes very cold, but he was extremely great at the art of swordsman.
Misao sat down at the table, ready for breakfast because she had a knife in one hand and the other held a fork. "Food! Food! Food!" Misao chanted. Her family maid, Tsuyo, smiled at Misao as she place Misao's food in front of her. Within a half of a second, Misao started to munch hastily down on her plate.
"Don't eat too fast, Miss Misao or you'll choke," Tsuyo said. Misao was too busy stuffing here mouth to hear that, but Tsuyo still smile at her for Tsuyo was a jolly plumped woman. She had brown eyes and black hair that was always tied in a bun. To Misao, Tsuyo was like a mom to her because since Okina and Aoshi were both males, it would be hard to ask girl stuff to them so Misao would always go to Tsuyo, who by the way, seems to know about almost everything.
"Yum! I'm done!" Misao said after she swallowed the last of her meal. "I gotta go to school now!" Misao grabbed her backpack and was now standing at the door. "Bye Jiya! Bye Aoshi! Bye Tsuyo!" And with that, she was out the door.
____________________________________~*~____________________________________
Misao sat in her limo as her driver, Mr. Kyoshi, drove her to school. You could that Misao was rich because she had a limo driver and maid. Misao gazed out of her car window. The limo was now near her school. She could see the tall building perfectly from where she was. Kids were all over.
Her limo was now right in front of her school. "Have a good day, Miss Misao," Mr. Kyoshi said with a friendly smile. Mr. Kyoshi was an old man probably in his sixties because of his wrinkles.
"You too! Bye!" She said as she got out of her doorway.
"Hi Misao!"
"Hey, Misao! What's up!"
"Nice to see you, Misao!"
All of the kids greeted her as they walked past her. It was no surprise to Misao since she was the most popular student in Kyoto High. Misao smiled as more kids greeted her.
"Heeeey! Makamachi Misao!"
Misao looked where the voice was calling her and saw that it was her best friend, Takahashi Saka. Saka was 2nd popular to Misao since she's friends with Misao and anyone that's friends to Misao is always popular. Saka looked just like Misao in her school uniform but she had short navy hair that was in a ponytail, along with black eyes. She ran up to her with a cheerful smile.
"Kon'nichiwa, Saka," Misao replied.
"Did you hear about that new student that just transfer here?"
"What new student?" Misao asked curiously.
"I don't know much yet, but it's some guy. Lots of rumors about him. One rumor said that he was a total hottie. The other is that he's a very strange kid. I hope he's hot. He won't be coming here yet though. He will tomorrow." Saka said as she fixed her ponytail.
"Yeah, me too," Misao said with a face. "We never get any hot guys around here."
"Tell me about it…but not now. Class is starting soon!" Saka said. Then without a warning she grabbed Misao and pulled her along as she ran inside the building.
"Whoa!"
____________________________________~*~____________________________________
Misao and Saka walked down the wide halls outside of their classes. Everywhere they would go, kids would either go up to them or pass them and they would say hi or hello to them. The two girls wouldn't bother to say anything back because they know they're too cool to talk to any of these low life nerds.
Speaking of low life nerds, a certain red haired boy walked down the hall opposite of Misao and Saka. His name is Himura Kenshin and he was just year older than Misao. Kenshin was carrying five thick textbooks each one on top of each other. Just as he was about to pass by Misao, Misao did something mean and cruel. She took out her right foot in front of Kenshin, but poor Kenshin didn't see her foot for he was too busy handling his textbooks. So he tripped. Kenshin fell down onto the hard floor with a loud thump, his chest touching the ground. All of his five textbooks fell all on top of him. One even hit his head.
"OROOOOOOOO!"
At that moment every single student in that hall stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to Misao, Saka, and the injured Kenshin. The hall was a complete silence.
Misao could only laugh at him, Saka doing the same. "Himura, you're such a baka!" said Misao.
Saka, more ruthless than Misao, took her left foot and stood it on top of Kenshin's head.
"ORO!"
"Kenshin-san!" A female's voice was heard behind of where Saka was standing. Suddenly something pushed pass her causing her to fall and landed on her ass. Startle by the sudden force, Saka was bursting mad at who did that to her. She turned to where Kenshin was lying and saw that it was a dark blue haired girl. She knew that it was Kamiya Kaoru.
"Kenshin-san? Kenshin-san?" Kaoru said as she grabbed the text book that was on his head, "Daijobu?"
Kenshin smiled sheepishly while he oro, "Dai…jo…bu."
"You bitch!" Saka yelled angrily. With no hesitation, Saka made her hand turned into a fist and launched it at Kaoru. But to her surprise, it didn't hit Kaoru. In fact, it didn't even get to Kaoru's face, which at the moment was wide eye. Kenshin's hand had grabbed Saka's fist before it could gave Kaoru a black eye.
"Huh?" Saka looked at Kenshin. Then she pulled back her hand, "Himura! What do you think you're doing? I oughta kick your ass right this minute!"
Misao stood there looking at the scene. She would have let Saka hurt Kenshin but she had classes in just a few minutes so she didn't want to waste any more time on Himura or Kamiya. Misao walked up to Saka and grabbed her shoulder. "Saka. Another time, we have class. Let's go now or we'll be late." Saka knew that her best friend was right. Growling with displeasure, Saka gave Kenshin and Kaoru an evil glare and left with Misao.
____________________________________~*~____________________________________
"Arigato, Kenshin-san," Kaoru stood before Kenshin as she helped him gather his books.
It was noisy again. All of the students went back to what they were doing, which was hurrying for class. After watching Misao and Saka, they all realized that they were almost lat for class.
"No, Kaoru-dono, I should be thanking you that I should. Thank you for taking that book of my head. It was really starting hurt that it does." ^_^ Kenshin smiled at her warmly.
Kaoru blushed, "It was really nothing. Friends help friends."
Kenshin and Kaoru stood alone in the hallway smiling at each other. It only took them a couple of seconds to realize that they were the only ones there. Everyone one else was in class.
"Mou! I better get to class!" Exclaimed Kaoru.
"Me too!" Kenshin cried after.
And then the two split and went their way.
____________________________________~*~____________________________________
Misao and Saka made to their first class just in time. It was history class and Misao and Saka sat next to each other. Teaching the class was Mr. Saitou. Very firm and strict, he was not a teacher to mess with.
Misao and Saka was very bored at the lessen that they were learning. Since it was Saitou and not some other teacher, they knew to be quiet and pretend to listen. Saitou was the harshest teacher in the whole school so Misao would know better than to play around in his class.
"At the battle of Seikihara¾" someone at the door suddenly interrupted Mr. Saitou. It was Principal Yamagata.
"Excuse Mr. Saitou, may I see Miss Takahashi for just one minute please?"
Saitou sighed and then took a nod. He gave Saka a stare, which meant, "Go." Saka got up from her seat and went out of the door. Misao could only stare in confusion but then focus her attention back to Mr. Saitou, since he was looking at her with a cold face that looked like he was saying "Focus or die."
Then in just a few minutes, Saka headed back in the classroom. Mr. Saitou didn't pay attention to her but kept teaching.
"During that battle, many samurais died. One general¾" Once more, Mr. Saitou was interrupted by Principal Yamagata.
"Gomen Mr. Saitou for interrupting again, but can I see Miss Makamachi?"
Mr. Saitou was getting very annoyed by this but Yamagata was the principal, which was practically his boss. Mr. Saitou turned to Misao and gave her an irritated glare. Misao got up and out the door.
Misao stared at her principal, waiting for him to speak.
"Miss Makamachi…" Yamagata sighed and gave her a disappointed face, "I have heard that this morning you tripped a student over purposely. Am I correct?"
Misao was a little surprised to hear him ask her that. She hardly ever gets caught. Who's the asshole that ratted me out? Misao thought to herself. Duh, Misao! Everyone was saw what happen, one of them told on me! But that's impossible! No one ever ratted me out ever! She didn't have time to think because Yamagata was looking at her with a stern face, while for an answer.
"Well…you see…um…" Misao couldn't think of what to say. Then something burst out of her. "Who told you about that?"
Dammit! Stupid, Misao! Why did I ask him that, now he knows that I did it! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
"Well…your friend Miss Takahashi told me. She said that you were the one that was picking on the student and that she tried to stop you but you wouldn't listen." Yamagata said still angry.
"She said that? She's the one that told you about that? But that's not true!" Misao exclaimed.
Misao couldn't believe her ears. Her own best friend…? …Ratted on her? Grrr…We're going to have a long talk about this.
"Miss Makamachi, I don't think you understand how serious this is. Bullying a student is against the school regulations around here if you haven't become aware of yet," Principal Yamagata continued, "Speaking of school regulations, I could suspend you from school for this."
"SUSPENDED?" Misao exclaimed loudly.
"Quiet Miss Makamachi, classes are in session."
Misao didn't listen to what Principal Yamagata said. She was too busy hearing the word "Suspended" over and over in her head. Suspended! Suspended… Suspended?
"But Principal Yamagata! That's not true! She didn't try to stop me! She was picking on the student too!"
DAMN! Not again! I just totally said that I did it out loud.
"I'm sorry Miss Makamachi, but you still bullied that student…"
No…!
"…But…I'll give you another chance…"
"Another chance?" Misao exclaimed happily as she heard his words.
"…Under one circumstance…"
"What? I'll do anything!" Misao exclaimed.
"Well…I don't know if you know about this yet but there will be a new student coming here tomorrow. His name is Seta Soujiro. And since he'll be new here, he won't have any friends. At least not yet, so I want you show him around the school and be his friend."

Meiji: Whew! Finally done! This took me a long time to finish it in one day. So, how do you guys like it? Tell me it in your reviews.

I LOVE SOUJIRO! Well, until then review. I don't want flames. Either constructive criticism or just plain complements. Buh-bye!
