Chapter 1: This is my moment
"AHHH!!" a girl shouted after tripping from the stairs. She massaged her head awkwardly. "Ah! My head hurts! Stupid stairs!" she exclaimed.
Another girl showed up. She chuckled. "What are you doing lying there, Kaoru? OHOHOHO!!!" she exclaimed.
"Stop laughing at me, Megumi!" Kaoru said. She stood up and straightened her uniform.
"Kaoru, Dr. Gensai is our new adviser." Megumi said.
"Dr. Gensai? But I thought he was a doctor!" Kaoru said, picking up her books from the floor and walking towards class.
Megumi shook her head. "Kaoru, Kaoru! Those high school students that are studying here are going straight to Saweda College, Tokyo University, medicine schools, and may more that is connected with our building! So, it is better that we have Dr. Gensai teaching us. I can't wait to study medicine!" Megumi explained.
"But I don't want medicine!" Kaoru exclaimed then stick out her tongue like disgusted.
"I don't know what's happening to you, Kaoru. You just wanted to take up medicine so you can have a company." Megumi said.
Kaoru didn't seem to hear it. She ran towards their classroom. Suddenly, she fell down again. "Ah!"
"Whoa, whoa! You almost had me down, jouchan!" Sanosuke Sagara said, a 3rd year college student in Saweda College. He helped Kaoru get up.
Kaoru blushed a little. "Ah, ah... Arigatoo..." she whispered.
Megumi ran towards them. "Kaoru! You really are careless!" She looked up at Sanosuke and saw that he was staring at her. "Ah... We better go now. Come on, Kaoru."
Sanosuke just stared at Megumi until they got to their classroom. Suddenly, he heard some footsteps. "Hey, Kenshin, let's check out the P.E. of the girls!" Sanosuke exclaimed.
Kenshin ignored him. He continued to walk towards the hallway.
"Yeah, yeah! Ignore me! Why do I have to stick up with that guy?!" Sanosuke exclaimed. He kicked a paper and saw there were writings. Megumi Takani. Locker 119. Sanosuke smirked.
Later...
"Kaoru, want to go with me to study for the exam?" Megumi asked while they were putting their shoes on.
"Got no time, Megumi! I've got to go to Kendo class!" Kaoru said then went away.
Megumi sighed. That girl... She opened her locker and saw there was a letter.
"Today, we're going to learn some Judo. Since this is all about kendo, we must also know Judo. And-"Seijuro Hiko incompletely said.
Kaoru rushed in kendo class and bumped right at Hiko.
The class laughed at Hiko falling down.
Misao Makimachi was there, also laughing and pointing at Hiko.
Hiko punched Misao's head. "Shut up, baka deshi!" He coughed two times then glared at Kaoru. "Take your seat, Kamiya."
Kaoru bowed. "Gomen!" She sat on the ground in a cross-sitting position. She listened to the lecture of Hiko. Suddenly, she was getting dizzy. She didn't know she had slept.
"Huh? What?" Kaoru rubbed her eyes gently and stretched. It was dark. "Where am I...?"
"Still here in the kendo classroom." Kenshin said, suddenly appearing out of the darkness. He turned the lights on.
Kaoru looked around. It was only she and Kenshin in the kendo classroom. She thought about some bad things that happened to her during her sleep and began to grab a bokken. "How dare you take advantage of a high school girl?!" Kaoru exclaimed, pounding Kenshin's head with her bokken. "Ah! No one would like me anymore!!"
Kenshin glared at Kaoru.
Kaoru stopped pounding him. "So you didn't touch me,"
"..."
"You didn't...take me?"
"..."
"Then why are you still here? It's night. And why didn't you wake me up? And why-" Kaoru covered her mouth after realizing that she had been asking too many questions to the one she didn't know.
Misao smiled, appearing out of the back of Kenshin. "I didn't want to disturb your sleep. You were sleeping peacefully and I can't leave you here, Kaoru!" She whispered, picking up the bokken.
"H-how did you know me?" Kaoru asked.
"Of course, you're my classmate. We should know each other. By the way, I'm Misao Makimachi and he's Kenshin Himura." Misao said with a charming smile.
Kaoru stared at Kenshin. He was too quiet.
"Well, since you missed the lesson, I'll teach you some Judo techniques." Misao said and started talking about Judo.
Kaoru followed Misao's teachings in Judo. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, she rested on her back. "Ah! I'm tired!"
"What time is it, Kaoru?" Misao asked.
"It's... 10:00pm." Kaoru said weakly.
"Nani?! I've got to go, Kaoru!!" Misao exclaimed then ran out of the classroom.
"Misao! Matte!" Kaoru exclaimed as she tried to catch up with her. She was left alone with Kenshin. She stared at him again.
Kenshin turned away and started to go out of the classroom.
Suddenly, she remembered something about "Himura". She gasped and her eyes widened. "Wait a minute! That must be...what they so-called Battousai! That's why...he's so quiet... But... Deep in his eyes... I know he's hiding something!" A sudden shock struck her. "I can hear my father..."
"Kaoru, help him."
"Otousan?"
"You are his only hope."

Author's note: I'm back! Sorry. I'm really a fan of Alternate universe Rurouni Kenshin fics. What does Kaoru's father mean that she was his only hope? Hehehe! I guess you noticed! Kenshin is still Battousai! Don't worry; I'll make him a Rurouni! I've got work on the next chapter! -Koharu-chan
P.S. About my fiction, "That College Girl", although the comments were heart-breaking, (Ouch! Joke!) I still appreciate it. Hope you like this "Ice Picture!"
