(4)Kenshin meets (and actually talks to) Kaoru Aichan

Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin. damn. but that doesn't mean I don't love him!!!!!

A/N: Woo hoo!!! I actually wasn't gonna update till next Friday since I have to finish writing umm.five essays by the fourth about the good earth! And today's the third-actually its two in the morning and I have to go to bed then wake up and finish!!!!! Then we start school!!!! But all the reviews?! Oo this is my first fic so I didn't know what to expect! I am soooo glad ur enjoying!!! Oh and I completed my Kenshin manga collection *celebrates* Umm. this fic as a whole might become more serious. but sometimes it has to be (especially regarding Kenshin's past-it's a little different) but I am trying to squeeze in my jokes. Well, just to let u noe, I have another fic I'm working on. I'll put a summary at the bottom of this chap!!! Well I'd appreciate it if u read it when I post it! Onegai? (can you tell that I'm the type of person who can talk just like MIsao?) Ne way off to the story canchan HEY!! This is another chap written by ASHULI!!!!!

Kaoru, after grabbing her books, closed her locker and headed around the corner toward to school exit doors. "Heaven help. Seventh period was murder. Where's that Misao? Tameiki-sensei wanted me to give her - what the h.?"she mumbled.

She stopped mid-sentence at the sight of the incredibly ridiculous scene before her.

A red-head boy - though his long tresses had led Kaoru to assume that he was a girl for a second- was running from what had to be all of the girls at Fukuju High with only the exceptions of Misao and herself. Even though Kaoru felt slightly sorry for him, he must have done something completely horrible to deserve being hunted like a fox. Those girls looked like they wanted to tear him apart, limb by limb. Her best guess was that he was a hentai just like most- no all, guys were. But, then again, he didn't quite look the type.

"Now, now, Kaoru, you shouldn't judge people by their looks. Their extremely cute looks," she thought, then shook her head sharply to be rid herself of it. Urgh. Men.

Just when she was about to step out of the way of the mob, she observed to her slight dismay that they were speeding up. Uh-oh. Kaoru took turns around a few more corners until she reached safety. She breathed out a sigh of relief, closing her eyes.

Then.

BAM!

She collided with something. A fairly short something. Whatever it was, was only slightly taller than her.

"Ow!" Kaoru exclaimed, her voice accompanied by another.

"Oro?! Sumimasen! Are you hurt? I'm so sorry de gozaru!" said the other voice.

Kaoru didn't open her eyes as she rubbed the pain in her head away. "No, it's OK. Daijoubou. My books!" she added as she looked at her books now strewn across the floor.

"That's my fault too! I'm sorry!" The stranger bent down to pick up Kaoru's schoolbooks.

She couldn't get a clear view of his face; his back was turned to her. It was obvious, however, that this was the boy who was being chased by the rabid group of teens. The fiery red hair was tied in a low ponytail, and the boy's ever-apologizing voice was gentle and soft.

He finished picking up her books then he turned towards Kaoru and smiled sheepishly. "Here," he said, handing her the texts. "I'm really very sorry de gozaru yo. I wasn't watching where I was going and."

His words fell to deaf ears. Kaoru was no longer listening to his voice. She was staring into his pure amethyst eyes. Like his voice, they were gentle too.

Kaoru's reverie was suddenly interrupted by a deafening screech of, "Himura- saaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!"

Himura's eyes stretched wider than humanly possible. "Um, I'm very sorry de gozaru yo! I have to go!"

He then poised himself to run and launched off like a rocket again down the hall. The screaming girls quickly followed, along with calls of, "Himura- san! Come back, please!"

"Himura-san! Go out with me!"

"Himura-sempai! I really like you!"

"Himura-san, you're so cute!"

The extremely ecstatic group of teenage girls rushed past Kaoru, whose books were still clutched in her arms tightly, completely ignoring her.

Once the noise, Kaoru's shock, and the dust settled and died, she took a moment to put two and two together. Number one, this guy was being chased by girls. Two, they were screaming that they loved him. Three, he was cute, polite, and a very fast runner. Add that all together and it equals: they weren't chasing him because he was a hentai and they wanted to roast him on a skillet with an apple firmly lodged in his mouth; they were chasing him because he was the very opposite and they wanted to huggle him to death.

"Himura-san." Kaoru tested his name on her lips for the first time. It was an honorable name, no doubt, yet something was missing: his first name.

With a determined look on her face she said to no one in particular, "I will find out more about him."

But the flame of determination died as quickly as it had come as she leaned against the wall and closed her eyes, breathing deeply.

"No, Kaoru, you're not into boys, remember?" she breathed. Not since- Enishi. Her voice trailed off.

She decided not to think about it anymore while she walked slowly towards the exit. Boys only brought trouble and more trouble. It was a lesson she learned the hard way.

Anyway, it was time to pick up Yahiko-chan. She gave a hard push on the handle of the large school doors.
