I never expect to have so many reviews for the first chapter. By the way, I'm quite confused for Megumi's nickname. 2 people told me it's kitsune but one told me it's megitsune, so which one is it? Well, for the moment I'm using kitsune though. Also thanks again for correcting my grammar and spelling error. I would try my best to improve them.
Anyway on with the story!
Chapter 2- Baka-deshi and Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu
*Kaoru's history class*
Kaoru walked into the classroom and seated herself at the corner. She glanced and noticed Himura seating beside her. He was as usual, head down in silence. Just then, the teacher walked in. Kaoru was surprised to find that he was very muscular and he had long raven hair that was let loose on his shoulder. 'Funny, he could be a gym instructor with his well-built body,' Kaoru wondered. The teacher scanned around the class and smirked when he noticed Himura.
"Well, if it isn't my baka-deshi."
Kenshin raised his head and glared at him, but kept silence.
'Baka-deshi? This teacher sure has guts. I've seen many other teachers ignoring him even though they keep praising him for his achievement. They seemed intimidated by him,' Kaoru thought.
"Say a word baka-deshi. It isn't polite to ignore your teacher. But of course, for being such a big baka you probably don't know about it." 'Wow,' Kaoru mused. 'He sure does have a LOT of guts. Himura could be strangling him any moment.'
"Shishou, I would be glad if you stop that. You know I hate it whenever you call me that," Kenshin replied quietly.
Kaoru was surprised. It was the first time she had heard him speak. 'It was his first statement of the day.' He wondered who this teacher was.
"Ah, the new student." Kaoru almost jumped from her seat. "My name is Hiko Seijuro, Introduce yourself to the class."
Kaoru rose up. "My name is Kamiya Kaoru. Please to meet you all."
"All right, sit down Kaoru. Now on with the class."
Hiko began explaining about the World War II and Kaoru groaned inwardly. 'Great, war again. I hate this.' She noticed Himura was silently paying full attention to the class, copying some notes on his book. 'Now I know how he got those praise from his teachers.' However, she was really curious about him, especially about his reputation his school.
"Hey, why did you ignore me this morning?" 'Way to go, Kaoru, Kaoru mentally slapped herself. He would be totally pissed off with me.'
Kenshin ignored her. Kaoru was seething. She was really frustrated with his attitude.
"Are you mute? Could you at least talk to me?"
"Could you stop bugging me?" Kenshin shot her an icy glare.
"Not a chance. I want to fix that attitude of yours, mister."
"Try it if you can. Now stop nagging at me."
"Not if I can help it. At least tell me your name."
"Fine, Kenshin Himura"
'Kenshin, what a unique name.' "I'm Kamiya Kaoru."
Kenshin shrugged her off and continued copying down the notes on his book. Hiko noticed the conversation between them. 'Interesting, I have never seen that for a long time. That Kamiya girl is something.'

Kaoru finally finished her school day and began strolling to her kendo class. After that history lesson she had earned quite a name for herself. There were always whispers and murmurs in her class that annoyed her. She really could not understand what was wrong with talking to Kenshin. 'Sure, he's cold and rather scary but nothing wrong with that.'
"Kaoru-chan!" Her thought was interrupted when she saw Misao running to her with the same gi and hakama she was wearing.
"Misao-chan! You're in kendo class too?"
"Yes, of course! I like kendo too you know. Besides, Aoshi-sama is also there!"
"So, is it your interest in kendo or looking at Aoshi's sweaty body that makes you enter this kendo class?" Kaoru eyed her slyly.
"Kaoru-chan!" Misao yelled at her while chasing her. Kaoru laughed and both of them entered the gym.
Kaoru was surprised to find that both of them are the only girls in the gym. She began to feel uneasy. Kaoru was again surprised to see that Kenshin was in the gym. 'Oh no...Not again.'
"Excuse me miss. I presume you're new here?"
Kaoru turned around. "Uhmmm....yes. I'm Kamiya Kaoru."
"I'm Saitoh Hajime, your kendo instructor. Himura! Come here! Let's see how good you are in kendo."
'Uh oh, big trouble.' "Wait, sensei, how come I have to go against Himura?"
"He's the captain. New members always get tested by the captain."
Kaoru walked to the center of the gym. She picked up her shinai and readied herself. Several murmurs were heard in the gym. 'Not again. These murmuring are really getting on my nerves.' To Kaoru's surprise Kenshin picked up a sword and began his stance. 'A sword against a shinai?'
Kenshin began to unsheathe it and noticed that it was a sakabatou. 'Phew,' Kaoru let out a sigh of relief. 'He must be really good to use that instead of a shinai.' Nevertheless, she readied herself and began her stance. She would not lose. She would prove that girls are not inferior to boys.
Kenshin sped towards Kaoru with such a speed that it caught her almost off- guard. She blocked his attack and swung it to his abdomen. Kenshin swiftly blocked it and spun so fast that he was now behind Kaoru. Kaoru turned around quickly and ducked just as Kenshin swung his sword to hit her neck. She aimed for his leg. Kenshin jumped and avoided the blow. He attempted to strike from mid-air.
'Now's the chance!' Kaoru caught the blade with both the back of her hand. Kenshin's eyes widened in shock. Kaoru seized the chance and began sliding her hand along the sword attempting to strike. To her surprise, Kenshin spun in mid- air and before she knew it, his sword was at her throat.
The audience was stunned. After a few moments, they began to clap. Kaoru heard Misao shouting "Way to go, Kaoru!" She had lost but she was shocked to see the reaction. To her surprise, she heard Kenshin speaking to her.
"A good fight. Have you learnt kendo before?"
"Yes, my father taught me. It's called the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu."
"I see."
"What's yours? I have never seen such a fast technique before and you use a sakabatou."
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu. My shishou taught me and he said it was inappropriate to be used with a shinai. You have earned my respect, Kamiya-san."
"Just call me Kaoru, Himura-san."
"Just call me Kenshin, Kaoru."
Kaoru's eyes widened when Kenshin extended his hand. She extended hers as well and they shook hand. For the moment she seemed to see a shade of violet in his amber eyes.

Well, that's the second chapter. Gomenasai everyone if the fighting sucks. I'm a poor writer when it comes to describe a fighting scene. Please continue to R&R. Oh, by the way, how to type in italics? Could somebody please tell me? I would appreciate that a lot!
