Ep.1: Enter Kenshin Himura

***

Kenshin Himura looked at the big clock on the building's façade, 8:00 the front lawn was deserted signaling that the bell had already rung. He swallowed suddenly nervous it was after all his first day.

"Sir." A voice called behind him. He turned around to find a beautiful girl with raven hair and blue eyes smiling at him. "You dropped this." She said handing him the little stuffed bunny key chain.

"Thank you." he blushed at his lucky charm and stuffed it inside his pocket. She smiled before sidestepping him and running towards the front doors, it was here that Kenshin noticed that she was wearing the school's uniform.

***

"You come highly recommended Mister Himura."

"I am sure they exaggerated Principal Saito." He smiled at the man sitting behind the desk, his feet propped up and his cigarette burning lazily in his mouth.

"I remember you, you played forward am I correct?" The principal smiled.

"I used to for the school." He smiled sheepishly.

"A shame we didn't get to be teammates."

"You were five years ahead of me sir."

"Yeah the school lost its championship when we left, but I'm glad you won it back for us."

"Heh, it was a team effort."

"I will not lie to you Himura, I hired you because we played for the blue and white of Kainan and I do hope you will not disappoint me." he said waving his hand.

"I won't sir." He said nodding. He stepped out of the Principal's office and bid good morning to Miss Takani the school nurse, which he met in the corridor.

"Was that the new teacher?" she asked closing his door.

" Kenshin Himura, used to study here."

"Oh, handsome man isn't he?"

"He is also five years our junior Megumi."

"Oh a little age difference never really hurt anybody." She winked.

"Why did you come here?" he asked irritably.

"I missed you." she smiled coyly.

"Did you get bored in the clinic again Miss Takani?" he asked amused.

"It seems somebody doesn't come to see me anymore."

"The school year is beginning I have a lot to do."

"Well…then you must be too busy to have dinner at my place tonight then?" she teased starting to walk out. Saito caught her in his arms and kissed her deeply.

"Hmmmm I think I can spare and hour or two." He winked.

"Two would be best." She smiled. "By the way what class is Himura teaching?"

"3-G."

"Yukishiro's class? Oh that poor man."

Section 3-G

He stopped before the door, straightened his tie and placed his hand on the door handle. He took a deep breath and opened the door.

The class suddenly grew silent. He smiled and went to the blackboard picking up some chalk and writing his name on the board.

"My name is Kenshin Himura and I will be your class teacher for this year." he said facing the class once more. The class was silent. A hand raised up in the air.

"Yes?" he asked the girl with the big bow.

"Are you the Kenshin Himura that played for Kainan four years ago?"

"Yes."

"Oh wow! You were like totally great!" she squealed and the class began buzzing about how good he was and how it was him that won them back the championship.

"I don't think so." A voice said from the rear. He looked at where the voice was coming from. Behind the girl with the pink bow was a young man with white hair, he had on a pair of blue specs and his uniform was open in front. They held gazes for a moment.

"Well sir as class president…" the class groaned as a girl with a braid stood up.

"Shut up Makimachi!" they called but the girl didn't seem fazed by it at all.

"I would like to welcome you to our class." She grinned.

"I would take it you are Misao Makimachi?" he smiled warmly. "Thank you Miss Makimachi."

He started the roll call.

" Kamiya, Kaoru."

"Here." She was the one with the big bow she was pretty.

"Makimachi, Misao."

"Here Mister Himura." He smiled someone in the back coughed but it sounded more like 'brown-

noser' and the class laughed. "Shut up!" the girl was turning red.

"Sagara, Sanosuke." There was no answer.

"Sagara, Sanosuke?"

"Hey idiot its you!" one of the boys hit the head of the boy sleeping in the back. He lifted his head, his eyes still closed and drool coming out of his mouth.

"Eeeeew!" Misao stuck her tongue out.

"Shut up weasel!" he spat out.

"Mister Sagara?"

"Yeah?" he said sleepily.

" Tanada, Shiro?"

"Here and handsome baby!" he smiled standing up. The boy who was making the choking noises and who whacked Sano on the head.

"Oh please!" Misao said gaining her a paper ball in the face.

"Yukishiro, Enishi." Silence, he was about to call out his name again when the white-haired boy raised his hand.

Section 4-A

Aoshi Shinomori walked into his classroom skimming the faces looking for those he knew. He was about to sit beside Soujiro when something that sounded like a wounded animal glomped on to him.

"AOOOOOOOOSSSHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIII!" he winced at the voice.

"Keep away from me Kamatari!" he said pushing him off his arm.

"But…But I missed you sugar!" he said pursing his lips.

"YOUJIN!" he called the other boy.

"Come on Tari, it's the first day for crying out loud." A boy with very tall blonde hair said holding on to the shorter boy's shoulders.

"But I missed my Aoshi-kins!" he said letting go nonetheless.

"Seta." He said sitting beside the eighteen-year-old. He looked around the room once more. Someone else was missing.

"Umm Miss Komagata?" Kamatari asked raising his hand. Yumi Komagata put down her compact and looked irritably at the smiling boy.

"Shouldn't we call the roll?"

"You're all here, I'm happy." She said going back to putting on lipstick.

"Um Miss Komagata?"

"What?"

"That color is totally wrong for you!"

"Out Sagara!"

***

Section 1-C

Yahiko looked at his new uniform and smiled. Finally he was wearing the same dark blue pants his brothers…well brother wears. He has been waiting three years to walk down these corridors.

Finally he was in high school.

He left the boy's bathroom and made his way toward his classroom. The fear of unfamiliar faces seemed to melt away as he spotted his friends.

"Hey Sagara." Tsubame smiled.

"Hey Kitano." He sat down beside her, he was glad most of them decided to go to this high school at least he was with most of his friends from junior high.

"Sagara, Yahiko?" The teacher asked.

"Yes?"

"Any relation to the Sagara brothers we already have?"

"I am the youngest sir."

"The Sagaras have quite a reputation here."

"So I have heard." He said his face blushing.

***

Kenshin rubbed his temples, he had been with his class a total of thirty minutes and already he was looking forward to finals. Not that they were bad kids, its just…they were too varied. He didn't know how to get the others motivated and how to calm the others down.

"Not feeling well Mr. Himura?" a voice asked beside him.

"Oh hello Ms. Takani. No I'm ok just a little…"

"Confused?"

"Yeah."

"3-G will do that to you." She smiled. They were in the auditorium waiting for the principal's start of school announcements, they were sitting on the stage because they would be introduced to the whole student body. From where he sat he can already hear his class. He didn't need to look up, he knew right where they were.

"Hey Sagara move your ass!"

"Quiet class!"

"Shut up Makimachi!"

"Fuck you Tanada!"

"Leave the weasel out of this."

"Why Sagara…"

"If you keep teasing her she'll just keep on whining and I can't get any sleep with that grating voice of hers!"

"Droolsferbrains!"

"Kiss ass!"

"Hooligan!"

"Goody two shoes!"

"Shut up you two!"

"Stay out of this Yukishiro!"

"You think that's his real hair color, I've never seen such red hair?"

"Hey Kamiya likes Mr. Himura!!!"

"Kaoru and ….hey what was his first name?"

"Kenshin you dolt! Don't you listen at all in class?"

"Well forgive me if I jot down everything the teacher sayz!"

Kenshin sighed. How was he going to get through the year?

"Hey Mr. Himura! Mr. Himuraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."

"Yes Ms. Makimachi?" he asked standing up and wincing as many angry eyes turned to him. He moved to the side of the stage since his class was not that far and prayed they don't do anything that would make him more humiliated.

"We were debating on whether you had a girlfriend already."

"Oro? Couldn't this have had waited until we got back to class?" he asked turning as red as his hair.

"Well we were just kinda curious."

"No! Ok can I go now!" he said wanting to crawl under the chairs and die as people started whispering.

"Sheesh you don't have to be such a grouch about it!"

Kenshin made his way back to his seat.

"Hey Sagara get your ugly mug out of my face or I'll rip it off."

"Who are you to talk mouse hair!"

"Why you…"

"Hey Yukishiro." The class grew silent as Aoshi's voice boomed over their bickering. The upperclassman was seated across the aisle from them with his class.

"Yeah?" Enishi asked from where he was slouched beside Kaoru.

"Tell your class to can it." he said stoically.

"Shut up you idiots." But he didn't have to say it because the whole class was already looking at Aoshi with fear in their eyes. The noise had ceased the moment he said hey.

Kenshin's eyes went wide. Wow.

"Oh I see you've met Mr. Shinomori." Megumi muttered. He looked at her stunned. "Yeah he has that effect on people." She smiled. "He's the team captain of our basketball varsity, top honors in class, editor of the school newspaper and he should have been this years' student council president but he dropped out of the race."

"Why?" he asked still eyeing the stoic youth.

"He wanted the new president to win." She smiled.

"Hey you lousy kids!" came principal Saito's welcome address. The whole auditorium grew even more quiet. "Looks like you're gonna have another year with me. So lets get this straight I don't want more work than I already have this year. There are rules so follow it. Oh yeah and for the freshmen, this is high school no one will wash your ass for you here." One freshman stepped out sobbing. The principal looked satisfied and the students had to hold down a collective gasp as a grin crossed his face.

"Uhhm was that wise?" Kenshin asked quietly.

"Oh he's never satisfied until he gets one to cry. He seems harsh but he gets the job done."

"Ok with that I will now leave the floor to your President." He sat down next to Megumi and a girl came up the stage. Kenshin's eyes grew wide.

"Hello and good morning to all of you." Tomoe smiled as the students began to relax.
