' What just happened..?' Saitou asked himself recalling the events from a couple of minutes ago. ' Why did I do that? I don't understand the cause of my actions.' he thought
Saitou continued to walk down the halls furiously, and then his thoughts were interrupted because he heard someone calling him from afar.
"Saitou!! Saitou! Wait up!"
He turned around and saw that it was Okita calling him, and he slowed down his walking pace.
Okita looked like he finished his classes on the second floor, Class B. Him and Okita were in the same grade 11th but Okita had better grades than him so he was put in class B and Saitou for having average not so good grades he was put in class C. not that he cared.
"Hey Saitou what's up?"
"Nothing" he said in his usual cold tone of voice.
"Yeah, you expect me to believe that? Oh C'mon Saitou you know I know you better than that.now tell me what's up?"
"another argument and I have to go to detention for the 3rd time this week, that's all."
"And in the hallway?"
"What about the hallway?" he asked annoyed.
"Oh you know what happened in the hallway, when you pinned Himura against the locker and threatened him.what was all that about?"
"."
"Practically everyone knows, I mean who wouldn't know when the two biggest rivals at Sacamoto High got into a fight? ---" He was cut of by Saitou's annoyed voice.
"Okita?"
"Yes"
"Shut up"
He really did sound annoyed.
Okita laughed, "Okay, okay... But anyway what was all of that about?" he asked him again hoping to get an answer.
"That is none of your business."
"But---"
"No more questions got it?" he said in a serious tone of voice " That's my business. Not yours..."
"Ok. Well. are you going to eat lunch?"
"No"
"Well if you're not hungry, Ill see ya later then!"
He didn't make any expression he just watched Okita walk away,he met up with Aoshi Shinomori at the entrance to the cafeteria.
Aoshi and him are good friends also since middle school. But him and Aoshi bearely have the time to talk(like if saitou would actually have a conversation?) their schedules are totally different because aoshi was in class B. But his grades were lowering Okita told him. And the teachers were considering lowering him to class C.
'Sometimes I wonder how he can always have that smile crept up on his face when he's had such a terrible past.how he can hide all the pain he's gone through? The boy is just weird.' He began to walk out side.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
Saitou was outside and went and sat under a tree, the tree he always sat under when he felt like it. He laid back and closed his eyes. He was resting peacefully, he didn't fall asleep he was just thinking.
* It was a cloudy afternoon and it looked as though it were to rain. Outside was a nine-year-old Saitou with his best friend Okita who was helping him secure the panel that covered the hole in the wall from his house, so the water wouldn't get in. Just in case it would rain.
Saitou lived in a small house, that was quite banged up, but he didn't care, it didn't really matter where or how he lived because he had his Mother, his Father, and his Younger Sister with him. He also had his best friend, Okita who lived near by his house. So he was grateful to have them there with him.
"Thanks for helping me, Okita"
"Sure no problem, Saitou, if you need help with anything else, I'll be at home. See ya tomorrow!"
"Ok" Saitou said as he turned around and went inside the house. He heard his Mother coughing again and he went over to see what was wrong with her. He entered her bedroom and she was lying on the bed. She looked pale and fragile. She looked as though she was sick.
"Mom are you okay?" he said as he walked over to her bed.
She turned around and looked at him. She smiled warmly and placed one of her fragile hands on her son's face.
"Yes, im fine Saitou-Chan."
He knew that deep down she wasn't fine; he knew that she was dying each day. Day by day she would become worse.
"Ok, I was just worried because you were coughing so much, that's all."
She smiled once more "Everything is just fine, nothing will ever happen to Mom because she will always have you, Saitou-Chan, to care for.Mom loves you very much. With all of her heart. Mom wants you to remember that always."--- *
~
The bell that rang interrupted his thoughts; this meant that lunchtime was over. He stood up, dusted himself off and began to walk inside.
'Why did I start thinking of things that happened in the past?I shouldn't think of those things anymore, its fucking pointless to dwell on the past.' And he continued to walk inside the school.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
It was 3:00pm and Kenshin and Saitou were now in detention.
Kenshin sat in a chair in the back of the classroom and Saitou sat in the back too, but in the corner opposite to Kenshin.
"This sucks having to be in detention with you again." complained kenshin as he stared at the blackboard.
"Well its your own fault were both stuck here in the first place."
"What me? Why me?" he said stupidly.
"You smart mouthed the teacher again"
"And they gave me detention.detention, detention, detention. That's all I ever get!"
"dumbass.." Saitou said in a low voice.
"Why do you always say that in a low voice when you know I can hear you anyway."
"so?"
Kenshin stood up from his chair and went over to Saitou. "About what happened today by the lockers.I'm on to you because no one, I mean no one can do that to me. Not even you."
He scoffs "What are you going to do about it? Sue me?"
"No...How 'bout you and me go on a little one on one.you know since the teacher isnt here.why not? Besides it's been a long time hasn't it.since we last got into our own little fight" he said challengingly to him.
"One problem, no weapons.but I have no problem using my fists." he cracked his knuckles
"I have that taken care of." he said as he went over to a closet at the back of the classroom and took out some broomsticks that were the same length as a sword.
Kenshin and Saitou have had many fights before, sometimes a fist fight, or sometimes in the courtyard they would have a grappling fight were they would practically kill each other. Whenever they had a chance, they would have a sword fight. It was mostly a fist fight and a grappling fight, but both of their skills dwelled on the sword mostly. Saitou was fairly good in all of them, while Kenshin wasn't so good when it came to fist fighting, not his style. But he could pack a good punch whenever it was necessary.
He tossed one over to Saitou.
"Broom sticks. give me a break." He said sarcastically
"Hey, it was all I could find!"
"Well, I guess it's suitable." he said as he stood in a 'Gatotsu' stance.
"You're on" he stood in a 'Batto-jutsu' stance "First five points wins."
They stood waiting for who would make the first move and they both attacked at the same time. Kenshin did a double somersault in the air and tried to hit Saitou over the head but he blocked it. Kenshin landed gracefully as a cat on his feet behind Saitou and went at him again from the behind and without expecting it, Saitou did a sweeping attack at his legs and Kenshin lost his balance. Saitou used this opportunity to knock him down with his weapon and He had hit Kenshin on the shoulder and caused him to land on the ground. '1 point for Saitou'. Kenshin pushed himself up from the floor and stood in fighting stance.Saitou went at him once again, to try and thrust at him, but then Kenshin ducked down.
"Hiten Mitsurugi Style Ryu-Kan-Sen!!"
And he raised his weapon and struck Saitou in the back of the skull. '1 point for kenshin'. Saitou went flying towards the black board but pushed himself with his hands and did a somersault in the air and landed behind Kenshin. Kenshin stood in fighting stance and launched at Saitou. Saitou got out of the way just in time and went to hit him on the head with his weapon but then Kenshin blocked his attack, he dashed to the side and was in back of Saitou and he went to do a sweeping attack with his weapon at Saitou's legs but Saitou jumped to the side, then went to hit Kenshin on the side of the head but Kenshin blocked it at the right moment then dashed to the side and stood in Battou-jutsu stance waiting for the right moment to hit him, but he jumped in the air, did a somersault, kicked himself of the wall and crossed weapons with Kenshin. Saitou jumped back and stood in fighting stance. Then kenshin also stood in fighting stance waiting for his attack. Saitou shifted his position to 'aerial gatotsu stance' (when he does the normal gatotsu stance over his head,) and they stood in fighting stance until Saitou launched at him, Kenshin didn't move in time and got whacked on the head real hard.. '2 points for Saitou'. Saitou went to do a second attack but he noticed Kenshin had disappeared.
"Hiten Mitsurugi Style Ryu-Tsui-Sen!!"
Saitou looked up and saw Kenshin above him, Saitou didn't react in time and he got hit on the shoulder by this attack '2 points for Kenshin' Saitou fell to the ground, Kenshin was going to do a second blow but Saitou got up and blocked his attack easily and jumped to the side and landed in fighting stance. Kenshin turned around and stood in fighting stance also.
"You have improved " Said Saitou trying to catch his breath.
"So have you." He said trying to catch his breath too.
They stood in fighting stance waiting for one or the other to make a move. Then they attacked at the same time and clashed weapons. They stood, struggling with their weapons to try and break their opponents defense, then Saitou pushed Kenshin with all of his strength and pinned him against the wall. Kenshin struggled to try and break his defensive stance so he ducked down and hit Saitou on one of his legs, Saitou lost balance and Kenshin jumped, used Saitou's sword to fix his balance then used his hands, which he had on Saitou's sword to push him up and he flipped in the air and landed behind Saitou in fighting stance.
"What's the matter? You already tired from all of my attacks?"
"You dream too much, that wouldn't happen now or in a thousand years." He said as he stood in Gatotsu stance.
This attack would prove who was the better of the two, who ever made this point won. They stood in attack positions waiting for the right moment to attack.. When the bell rang. They both lowered their weapons.
"damnit. Well I guess we'll have to complete this fight some other time.." Said Kenshin
" I suppose so. So until now it's a draw. again." " Here." He tossed him the broomstick.
Kenshin caught it and heard someone coming and quickly went to the closet and put the broomsticks there and shut the door.
Kenshin went over to his desk and collected his books and was heading towards the door, and Saitou was doing the same. Then the teacher walked in and saw that they were about to leave.
"Oh good, I came to dismiss you but you guys were already leaving anyway. why are you guys full of sweat? And you have some bruises I hadn't seen before. what were you guys doing in here?" she asked quite confused
"Um. we were uh um.we---" began Kenshin then Saitou cut him off.
"Nothing miss, it's that it's quite hot in here, and it seems we began to sweat a bit and the bruises? I really don't know what you're talking about because these bruises are from gym class we were practicing kendo, And you probably didn't notice them before." Putting up the best attitude he could muster, to tell you the truth he just wanted to hit that damn teacher over the head.
"Okay then, I guess I'll take that excuse even though it makes no sense..."
"So does that mean we can leave?" asked Kenshin
"Yes."
"Good." He said as he turned around and began to leave the room.
"Lets hope that we wont have to see each other again here soon, am I clear?" asked the teacher.
They both nodded and began to walk to the door.
They were walking down the hallway, on their way downstairs.
"That was a nice excuse. it was lame if you ask me." He said to Saitou in a sarcastic voice.
" And your excuse? It was even worse. You didn't even know what to say. Ad least I came up with something to say."
"Whatever im just glad we got out of there. See ya when ever, Saitou."
Saitou just shrugged and walked away.
