{You can skip this if you want because this is an introduction that tells you about Saitou a little.}

Saitou Hajime. Age 16. An average student at Sacamoto High School. He was an average known student at the school but he was known mostly by his reputation, and the many fights he had goten into. He fought with those who messed with him, those who didn't respect him or picked a fight with him for no particular reason because Saitou had no grudge against anyone he hated to pick fights with people. He speaks to most of the people at school , and he has some not so close friends, but in fact the only close friend he has is known as Okita. Okita is a year younger than him and they have been friends since before they can even remember, and Okita has always been the one who Saitou has put his complete trust in, don't let this fool you folks, Okita has gotten into many fights also and has a reputation too. Saitou is the one who always there to save Okita's ass from trouble and is always there to make sure he's alright. Its like if Okita was always a younger brother to him. The younger brother he never had.

Saitou has never had a girlfriend before, some say he has never had feelings for anyone. No one has been able to touch his heart in that special way.ever. He looks as though he has no affection for anyone. Cold- Hearted, but "never judge a book by its cover" "never judge a person before you know what he truly is" because Saitou may look like he has no heart at all by his attitude and his way of acting. but he does have a soft spot in his heart like every other human, despite his looks and his attitude. The problem is. no one has been able to see it inside him.Will someone be able to reach that place deep in his heart?

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Saitou walked down the halls to one of his least favorite classes: Science. As the bell rang, he walked into class and sat down in his usual seat, the last one in the corner. He hated school, he just wanted to quit but since he had only a couple of years to go before he finished school, he decided to stay. And Okita had told him it would be best to complete school also, because it would help him for his future.ad least part of it. After he finished high school he planed on dropping out and completing his training in 'Gatotsu' to acquire the rank of master. if he was granted permission to do so.

"This class is so fucking boring." he said in a low tone of voice as he sighed and looked at his textbook blankly.

"Hajime!!"

Saitou looked up from his text book at the teacher

"Yes?"

"Will you pay attention for once and stop daydreaming?"

Saitou nodded and continued to look at the text book blankly anyway.

"Himura!" the teacher called to him

A red head who had his hair tied up in a high ponytail , much like Saitou, with a scar on his left cheek, was sitting in the back corner opposite to him, looked up from the textbook and looked at the teacher.

"Yeah?"

"Will you also pay attention in this class too? And you need to because you are about to receive a failing grade in this class."

"What ever.I don't really care."

"Just shut up, Himura and pay attention please."

"Give me a break.."

"Watch it Himura.." the teacher threatened to him.

"What? your gonna send me to detention again?.oh yeah that'll be great I get to spend extra time with my buddy Saitou here and with you." he said in a sarcastic voice.

Saitou gave him a death glare. " screw you."

Kenshin gave him a challenging glare "right back at you, asshole."

"Shut up, dumbass"

Saitou and Kenshin have always been rivals ever since they met each other in grade school. The rivalry has always been there no matter what. The thing that started all of this rivalry was that kenshin was trying to bully saitou. Saitou smart assed him and kenshin got mad and threw a punch behind his back. Saitou blocked it and punched kenshin back right in the mouth where he started to bleed through his mouth. The teacher got in between them both and broke it off.or so she thought. Kenshin took the opportunity to punch saitou in the cheek and it ended up in a fight.

They went through grade school with their rivalry. They had developed various ways to fight by now and the rivalry went on through middle school too. and until now when they are in high school.

"Make me---" he was interupted by the teacher who cut them off before the fight began.

"Enough!! Both of you! Detention!" yelled the teacher at the top of her lungs.

The teacher had given them both detention for the 3rd time this week, that's not a good sign.

"awww teach! That's the 3rd time this week!" complaned Kenshin

Saitou just gave Kenshin a death glare, and Kenshin returned it to him.

"Well you've both asked for it with your little arguments and fights now haven't you.today after school I will see you in detention." just after she finished the bell rang. " you are all dismissed!"

Everyone began to stand up and walkout of the classroom.

'Great another afternoon in detention thanks to that asshole,Himura' thought Saitou as he grabbed his books and began to walk out of the classroom to his next class: Chemistry. 'another boring class to go.shit.' He thought sarcastically.

As he walked out of the classroom,he saw Kenshin staring at him with a grin spread across his face.

Saitou just ignored this and continued to walk down the halls to his next class. Then while he was walking down the halls he saw a young girl,like at the age of 15 or 16 timidly walking in the end of the hall way. She was very pretty. Short, probally 5'5 or 5'6 no higher than that maybe. She had light brown hair lose up to her shoulders and hazel colored eyes. The girl seemed to have seen him because she stared at him for a moment and smiled weakly.

Saitou made no expresion at all and continued to walk twoards his Chemistry class.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Saitou walked into class and settled down into a chair in the back of the class as usual. He spotted Kenshin at the other end of the class.

'Great just what I need another class with that asshole.' thought Saitou in anger.

Everyone settled down into their seats and the teacher walked in and settled her things on top of her desk.

"Okay everyone open your books to page 176 ---" she was cut of by the door that opened and a young girl walked in. Saitou had recognized her as the girl he had seen in the hall way earlier.

"You're late miss Tagaki"

"Im sorry miss, its just that I got a little lost. Forgive me." She said in a shy voice.

"Okay, class here is our new student Tokio Tagaki."

Tokio nodded shyly.

"Tokio take a seat in any chair you find."

Tokio scanned the class room for an empty chair and spotted the one beside Saitou.

'Great just what I need.' thought Saitou sarcastically

She walked over and looked at him cautiously before asking. "Excuse me.sir? Do you mind if I sit here?" her voice was shaky and nervous

Saitou looked at her for a couple of seconds before saying " It dosent really matter to me, Go ahead."

"Thank you."

She setteld her things and sat down. Saitou scooted over so she could have more room to sit down. She opened her book and began to pay attention to the teacher. Saitou on the other hand was just starring at his book blankly with no expresion,but yet starring at his book he noticed that Tokio had no idea what this class is about because she arrived 15 min late.

Tokio began to pass the pages of her book, looking for the right page, she seemed very lost.

"You look as though you have no idea what the teacher is talking about,do you?" he said in a cold voice voice.

She shook her head " It appears not."

"First of all your on the wrong page."

She looks at her book and realized she did have it on the wrong page, she blushed, and Saitou began to flip through pages in the book untill she was on the correct page. " there" he said

"Thank you, sir."

"Don't call me that."

"Sorry, what can I call you then?" she said to him in a sort of sarcastic tone.

" my name is Saitou, Saitou Hajime. You can call me that." He said in that same tone.

" ok. Thank you, Saitou." She repiled back in the same moking tone of voice

Saitou looked at her with an annoyed glare "hm."

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Chemistry class had ended and it was now lunch time. Saitou was heading twoards his locker to put up his books, then he spotted Kenshin standing by his locker.

"Himura why are you here?"

"It's a public place,I can stand where ever I like."

"Just shut up."

"Oh, yeah, Saitou who was that pretty girl sitting with you in Chemistry class today.?" He said in a taunting voice

"Yes, I do recall she was sitting next to me, and what about it?"

" I was just wondering. that's all"

"Do me a favor Himura, shut up. I already have to see your face in detention for 3 hours and I don't want to put up with your bullshit right now. Got it.?"

" I was just wondering if you had taken a certain liking to her... because I saw you talking to her and---"

" I was only explainig the classroom terms to her if that's what your wondering, that's all that happened."

Saitou finished putting his books away, and was closing his locker when Kenshin said something that hit him like a ton of rocks down his spine..

"What ever, she looks like a bitch anyway. she probally is one an---"

Saitou turned around and grabbed Kenshin by the collar of his shirt and slammed him against the locker.

"You watch your mouth Himura. You watch what you fucking say because im gonna wipe that stupid smirk of your face with this" he goes and punches the locker " You got it?" he let Kenshin go and began to walk away.

But what Saitou didn't notice was that Tokio had seen the whole thing ,he had walked right passed her.
