A Brothers Hatred

Chapter Two
 An Enemy Already?!

Kaoru woke up the next morning with a cramp in her back. Most of the night she spent on getting her stuff ready for school. She was living with her aunt, Tae, that works in the school as her math teacher. Math. The one subject that the authoress of this story hates the most. And the subject that the character loves the most. 

Kaoru dressed in a plain blue shirt with the same pants that she wore the day before with the same Nike shoes. She tied her hair into a high ponytail with a rubber band and covered it with a ribbon. She grabbed her backpack and headed downstairs to eat breakfast.

When she was downstairs, she found that Tae had left early to get her classroom all ready for the first class of students. Kaoru found that out by herself thanks to the note that Tae had left her over the fruit basket. Kaoru looked inside the fridge and grabbed two slices of bread and plopped them into the toaster and waited. She got the butter ready while she waited and then she brought out a plate and stood by the toaster again. When the bread popped up, Kaoru grabbed it before it went from hot to warm to cold. She hated cold toast. She buttered the toast and ate it while she got her lunch money ready and then bolted out of the front door locking it. Then she walked all the way to school which was really close by while eating her now warm toast. 'Uhh. I hate warm toast! I have to eat this fast before it turns really cold.' Kaoru thought.

When Kaoru arrived at the school, she saw that Kenshin and Battousai were already there waiting for the first few students to arrive and she also saw Tae's car. She was already done with her piece of toast. She walked up the front steps and waited by the door which was beside Kenshin. "Good morning Kenshin." She bowed. Then she turned to Battousai, "Battousai." She did the same to him as she did with Kenshin showing both of them respect.

"Good morning Kaoru!" Kenshin chirped.

Battousai just nodded her way not saying anything.

While all three of them waited, Kenshin and Kaoru had a small conversation talking back and forth while Battousai just said a few words during their conversation. "Did you hear about the new singer Minaki Suheiro? She sings really good!" Kaoru stated.

Kenshin just smiled. He really liked Kaoru as a friend. She seemed to know a lot of things. A lot of things that teens would know about. And lot of things that he was really interested in. "Yes I've heard of her. She is a really good singer." Kenshin agreed.

Battousai just stared at the two. It's only been two minutes and these two were talking about a famous singer? Oh well, might as well butt in! "I don't like her. Her face is really ugly." Battousai stated with a sour face backing up his 'hypothesis'.

Kenshin just stared at his brother and smiled. "You know what I heard? I heard people say that she's coming  to Takayake High."

Battousai directed  his gaze to his brother and let a ghost of a smile come up to his features. 'She isn't that bad.' He thought. Then he frowned. 'But I don't want to skip to conclusions.' He thought again. "Who cares?" he said out loud.

Kaoru just smiled as well. "Well she isn't that bad now is she?" she directed her gaze to Battousai and smiled warming his usually cold heart.

'Wow! Look at what a smile can do to me!' Battousai thought uneasily. 'I am the Battousai! The modern age Battousai! I shouldn't be having my heart warmed up by some smile!'. He just turned away from both of them when he heard a car door close. He looked up and saw that weird girl again. Tomoe. Ugghh. He didn't like her. But he knew that she liked him. If Kaoru heard what he was thinking, she would've called him a conceited brat. Then he brought himself back to reality and stared at Tomoe.

She was wearing a pink spaghetti top with baby blue pants. She was wearing a blue bandana and pink shoes. Her skin was still the same color as before. Pale white. Even with her bright colors, she still looked like the living dead wearing brand new fashions. All in all, she looked like cotton candy (that's what I think!)

Battousai frowned. He didn't like her at all.

Tomoe smirked when she saw one looking her over and frowned when he frowned. 'This might be a long day!' she thought. She walked up the steps and headed to the door. She stood by Kaoru and said good morning after the introductions. Then more students decided to arrive after her, which made the school finally open after thirty minutes of waiting. When most of the students were inside the building, including Battousai and Kenshin, Tomoe said to Kaoru, "Stay away from both of them. I'm going to wrap them around my pinky and make them beg like a dog asking for his bone. All in all this is what I meant if you're dyslexic*, STAY AWAY FROM THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE MINE" Tomoe hissed before she saw one of her new friends.

'What does she mean stay away from them? They are my friends.' Kaoru thought before she too went inside the building.

*dyslexic- it means you don't know how to read and stuff like that. But all in all it could mean you have problems.
