Meiji: Hallo guys!  This would be the second chapter so far.  I thank you guys for reviewing!

~*~Change and Love~*~

Chapter Two: The Two Meets

            Be the kid's friend.  Mmm…beats being suspended.  I'll show him around and be his friend…and then I'll ditch him!  Perfect plan…

            "And no ditching him," Principal Yamagata said.

            Misao stopped her thoughts once she heard him.  Argh!  He read me like book.  All well, how bad could it be?

            "One question though…how long have do we have to be friends?" Misao asked her Principal.

            Yamagata gave a confused frown.  "What do you mean?  You can't just be someone's friend for a short amount of time and then leave them."

            Misao rolled her eyes while facing the ground so that her Principal wouldn't be able to see her.  "Principal Yamagata…What if we don't get along with each other and then end up hating each other.  I just can't be his friend and hate him at the same time." Misao whined.

            Yamagata looked at her while thinking.  The kid has a point… He thought to himself.

            "Alright then, just show him around the school and hang out with him just for one week.  But I'm sure you guys will get along just fine and you'll become good friends.  If not then you can go about your ways after that one week.  Fair enough?"

            "Deal!" Misao said with a cheery expression.  She was about to leave before Yamagata said to her, "And Misao?"  Misao turned around and face him.  "I'm just going soft on you today but next time…if you ever bully a student again, there will be no second chances.  You will be automatically expelled from this school.  No questions ask." He said with a stern frown.

            Misao's stomach ached from what he said.  She gulped and said in a nervous voice, "Um…yeah…ok."  And then Yamagata left.  At that Misao moment was really pissed at Saka.  Her own best friend ratted on her?!  I'm going to have a long, long, long talk about this to her.  Misao thought and then she went inside the classroom.

____________________________________~*~____________________________________

            Misao lay on her white queen sized bed.  She had gotten home from school a couple hours ago and had finished her homework.  Though, it really didn't matter, she would fail anyways.  Jiya would always nag her about her schoolwork but she knew that there was no use.  Schoolwork wasn't her talent. 

Misao laid her left palm on her forehead and groaned.  Today was already hectic her.  She had gotten in trouble with the principal, backstabbed by her best friend, which she couldn't find her all day in school to scream at her, and now tomorrow she had to be a tour guide to a new student.  But then again, it could be a plus.  One of the rumors was that he might be hot but then other was that he was very strange. 

"Ahhhh…!  All of this thinking is killing me!" Misao exclaimed with irritation.

Without changing into her pajamas, Misao took her blue ducky blanket and covered over her body as she began to shift into a doze.

*BEEP*  *BEEP*  *BEEP*

            Misao awoke at 6:00 a.m. as usual.  The sun's ray from the wide window still shone on her eyes.  Misao got out of bed and started for the bathroom.  She knew that it was the day she was to meet this new kid.  It really didn't bother her that much that she had to guide him through school.  She a little excited to see him.  Misao wondered what he looks like and what he acts like.

            It was 6:30 and she had gotten out of the shower and had already gotten dress in her school uniform.  Her hair was tied in a braid and it dangled behind her as she ran downstairs to eat breakfast.  When she entered the kitchen, she saw Aoshi and Okina sitting at the breakfast table as usual.  Okina was reading the newspaper and Aoshi was writing something.

            "Good morning, Jiya!" Misao greeted her grandfather and then to her brother.  "Good morning, Aoshi!"

            Aoshi gave his nod and Okina said the same to her.  "Good morning, Misao."  It was a typical day as usual, Misao thought herself as she sat down at the chair next to Aoshi.  Tsuyo place Misao's plate down in front of her as said, "Enjoy your breakfast Miss Misao."  And then left the room the family.  Misao began to munch down on her food but it surprised her when Aoshi talked to her.

            "Misao.  I heard that the Tenken is going to your school."  Said Aoshi with his cold voice as usual.  Okina looked up from the newspaper and began to enter the conversation.  "Yes…Yes.  I heard that too, it was in yesterday's newspaper."

            Misao looked up from her plate and answered with a mouth full of breakfast noodles.  "Schtheschtenkenischschgoingtochscmyschool?"

            Aoshi looked at his little sister with the same cold expression.  "Disgusting."

Misao was a little surprise and shock to hear him say that to her but then again, it's Aoshi.  The cold-hearted one in the family.  Though, he sometimes show a little brotherly love to Misao when she's in trouble.  She swallowed the chunk of mess in her mouth and then got back to what Aoshi asked her. 

"Don't talk with your mouth full.  I couldn't understand a word that you were saying."  Aoshi spook while taking a sip of his coffee.

Misao growled quietly.  "Well, sorry.  You ask me when I was eating.  Blah!¾"  Misao stuck her tongue out at him but was only interrupted by Okina's laugh.

"So is Tenken going to your school?" Okina asked.

Misao shook away from annoying Aoshi and began to reply.  "Well, I don't know who this Tenken guy you're talking about but there is a guy transferring to my school.  He's coming today."

"Is his name Seta Soujiro?" Aoshi asked.

"Uhh…Yep!  That's the guy!"  Misao exclaimed.

"Then he's the Tenken.  Tenken No Soujiro." 

Misao was confused at why he was called 'Tenken' and not by his normal name.  "Why was he in the newspaper, Jiya?"  Misao turned to ask Okina. 

Okina looked at her for a couple of seconds…………then he laughed.  "AHHAHAHAHAH!"

This did not amuse Misao at all though.  "WHAT'S SO FUNNY?" She exclaimed with rage.  But…Okina just kept on laughing.  Then finally Aoshi sighed and decided to explain to his sister.

"The Tenken is a master swordsman of the Juppon Gatana.  The Juppon Gatana is the school at which teaches swordsmanship.  He's been on the newspaper many times before because of his master skill at his Shukuchi.  His speed is great and also deadly, that's why he's called the Tenken.  He's laughing because I've been trying to tell you.  Guess you never listen."

Okina finally stopped laughing and added to Aoshi's bit of information.  "His technique is deadly but he doesn't kill so don't freak out or get scared, Misao."

"GRRR!  I'm not freaking out or getting scared!  And besides I don't care much about those sword…play…thingy.  I'm more of into throwing kunais"  Okina chuckled and went back to reading the newspaper, and Aoshi did the same with his writing.  Silence fell upon the family's dining room again.  Misao ate slowly as she thought to herself.  Tenken? Tenken No Soujiro.  Wow…this guy must be famous or something!  Though, I don't know much about swordplay or any or those crap but being on the newspaper…is…is kind of like an honor!  Guiding this guy around school can be a good thing!  I can go tell and brag to my friends about him!

Misao stood up from her chair and very cheerfully.  She kissed her grandfather and brother goodbye and greeted them happily out the door.  From outside of Misao's mansion, she saw her limo and Mr. Kyoshi in it.  She took her time and skipped happily all the way to the limo.  Once she got inside with her backpack, she said to Mr. Kyoshi excitedly, "To school!  And step on it!"

____________________________________~*~____________________________________

            Misao jumped out of her limo with a happy and cheerful expression. b ^_^ d Misao walked down the cemented path to her school with happy eyes. ^_^ 

            As she walked she was too busy thinking to herself then to focus on what was in front of her.  Today's the day where I meet a famous master swordsman star!  A famous master swordsman star!  A famous master swordsman star!  Today's the day where I meet a famous master swordsman star!  That's going to my schoool!  Misao sang in her head of the familiar song 'Pop goes the weasel' [lol Misao's a weasel] then all of a sudden…!

            "Oof!"  Misao fell down to the hard cement ground on her bottom.  While she was too busy singing in her mind, she was unfortunately run into someone.  x_x  Chibi little Master Roshi's danced around Misao's head. [Why is Master Roshi in here? XD]

            "Hey baka!  Watch where you're going around here!" Misao cried with fury.  Then a hand reached down to grab hers.

            "Oh!  I'm so sorry Miss!  I was watching where I was going around here!"  The person that had ran into her apologized.  The voice sounded like a male.  [It's really like a female but hey…]

            Misao looked up at the stranger as she was pulled up from her bottom.  It was a guy indeed.  With short, brown hair and sapphire eyes.  He was taller then Misao by probably an inch or two.  The boy was smiling sheepish as she rubbed the back of his head.  He was wearing the guy's uniform so Misao knew that he was a student here.  Though as Misao gazed at him, she admitted that he wasn't bad looking.  In fact, she thought that he was a little cute, but Misao couldn't help it but be angry with him.

            "Don't you ever bump into me again!  Do you know who I am?  I'm the most popular girl in school!  Makamachi Misao so you better remember this name when you walk around this school!"  Misao told the guy.  Though after Misao yelled at him, he still had a smile on his face.

            "Alright then, Miss Makamachi." The stranger said with his smile.

            What's up with this kid?  Misao thought to herself.  Why is he smiling after I just yelled at him?  No smiles after I yell at them!?

            "It's my first day at school here so I really don't know my way around here.  Could you do me a kind favor and show me around here?" He said, smiling again.

            "Go find it yourself¾" Then Misao stopped talking with shock and looked at him with total astonishment.  She tried to find her words.  "Y-you're…the…the…new kid here?  You're…Seta Soujiro?  The Tenken T.V. star?"  Misao exclaimed at him while pulling on his shirt collar.

            O_O' "Um…yeah…but I don't know about the T.V. star part ^_^' How did you know my name?  And you can just call me Soujiro.  Tenken's just a nickname I have." ^_^ The Tenken said to Misao.  Misao couldn't reply anything back.  All she could say was in her head.  This kid is the Tenken…The great master swordsman of the Juppon Gatana?  He's so skinning, wouldn't he have some muscles? No way is this baka the Tenken!

            Misao was now griping Soujiro's collar tightly.  "I'm going to ask you this again.  You're…Seta Soujiro?"

            Soujiro smiled sheepishly and said, "Yes I am.  Would you please let go of my shirt now?  I can't really breath."

            Misao let go of Soujiro's collar with a jerk.  Misao frowned at the ground.  This is strange.  He keeps smiling…-_-' and I have to guide him around the school and hang with him for a week…oh man…I can't be seen around here with this idiot!  But…I told Principal Yamagata that I would so…I'll just have to be stuck with this kids for a week and I'm home free.  Ahh…a week sounds like a long time…all well. 

            Misao turned her attention at the boy who was staring at her strangely but as soon as she looked up at him, he smiled again.  The smile was really pissing her off.

            "All right, Soujiro.  I'm suppose to show you around the school and hang with you here for about a week so I'll be your friend until you get use to this place."  Misao said dryly and plainly at the guy.

            ^_^ "You really don't have to do that but that's really nice, Miss Makamachi." Said the smiling Soujiro.

            "Oh no.  Really.  I want to hang with you." Misao said dryly and sarcastically.

            "Okay then, my first class is History with um…" he looked down at his piece of paper, "with…Mr. Saitou."

            O.O -_-+  Great…he's in my first period class.  What's next?  Misao thought.  Then she sighed and said, "I can show you where that is…I have that class the same time too."  Misao said again, in her dry voice with bitterness.  But strangely, Soujiro kept smiling and acted if Misao was cheerful and happy.

            "Great!  We can go there together!"  Soujiro said as he turned to go in the building.

            "Yip…py."  Misao made a face and followed behind him.
