- Chapter 4 -
Saitoh raised an eyebrow. Okita closed his eyes mortified. A torrent of whispers ran through the class. Airi stared back at Saitoh, her huge eyes wide and innocent. She laughed prettily, "I was joking!" She paused as she caught Okita's eye. He had turned redder than a tomato. Airi winked, "but he would make a nice boyfriend, ne Saitoh-sensei?"
Saitoh was about to make a cutting remark when he saw the pleading look in Okita's eyes. Although no one at school knew about it, Saitoh and Okita had a very close relationship outside school. Saitoh had always been a father-like figure to Okita, who had lost his father at a very young age. Saitoh sighed. "Kurayami-san, sit wherever you want then. Just sit so I don't have to waste any more time on you."
Airi grinned and sat next to Okita. "Arigatou gozaimasu~!" She turned to Okita and winked. Okita sank back in his seat, sighing in relief.
Kaoru smiled quietly to herself. Airi really was something, she found herself thinking. She knew she'd never have the guts to do something like that, especially in front of Saitoh-sensei. Kenshin chuckled under his breath. Airi hadn't changed at all. She was still the outspoken, spunky brat he used to know. Not that he was complaining. Being a brat was part of Airi's unusual charm.
Kenshin reached over to grab a test tube. His hand brushed against Kaoru's who had reached out at the same time. He dropped the test tube in surprise. Kaoru looked just as surprised as the test tube smashed into a thousand pieces as it hit the floor. Kenshin frowned. Kaoru bit her lip. Saitoh looked at them with an amused grin on his face.
"Himura, Kamiya. For that the two of you will be attending lunchtime detention," Saitoh said, his golden eyes gleaming.
"But sensei..." they both began simultaneously.
Saitoh silenced them with a glare. "I don't expect to hear any complaints from you two. Now clean that up, and you'll be making up for the wasted time later in detention."
Kaoru bit her lip angrily. She got up from her seat and started clearing up. As soon as Saitoh was gone out of earshot Kenshin began angrily, "this is all your fault." Kaoru glared at Kenshin. Like it wasn't bad enough already, she didn't need to hear this right now. "Why are you so clumsy? Geez, a detention is the last thing I need at the moment. Thanks to you..."
"ARRGGHHH!!!" Kaoru burst out in anger. She couldn't take it anymore. "Shut UP! You are such a spoilt little brat! Can't you just stop whining for a second?!" Kenshin stared at her openmouthed. All eyes turned towards them. Kaoru stood there fuming, debating whether to throw something at Kenshin or not.
"This is quite ENOUGH," cut in a cold, tight voice. Saitoh stared coldly at the pair. "I wont have any more disruptions today in my class. Next person that makes trouble, the WHOLE class will be in detention for a week." Everyone remained silent. They knew Saitoh wasn't one to make empty threats. After that, the class carried on quietly for the rest of the lesson.
"Whew!" Airi muttered as they left the chemistry lab, "that was some lesson, wasn't it?"
Okita felt a sweat drop appear on his forehead. 'You were the main reason...' he thought quietly.
Airi laughed, "heh, Kamiya-san was very fiery today, ne Soushi?"
Okita nodded slowly. He realized that Airi had called him Soushi again. "Um... Kurayami-san..." he began.
"What?" Airi looked at him questioningly, "and call me Airi."
"Fine. Airi, about what happened in class just now..." Okita blushed, unable to continue.
Airi stared at him with a blank expression. "Nani?"
"When you said I was your boyfriend..." Okita trailed off.
"Eh! That?" Airi said with a smile, "what about it?"
Okita stared at Airi in disbelief. Was this girl for real? He coughed slightly searching for the right words to use. He was about to say something when Airi grabbed him in a huge bear hug. Okita felt his face turning scarlet as people in the corridor stopped to stare. "Um... Airi... what are you doing?"
Airi let go. She smiled at Okita, "nothing. You just looked so KAWAII just now~!! 3 Come on."
Okita watched, his jaw dropped as Airi bounced off down the corridor. He felt his life had taken a rather unexpected turn this semester. With a deep sigh he trailed after Airi.
"Hey, what's up?" Sano asked, his voice slightly husky.
Sayo looked up from her locker. When she saw who it was, her eyes lit up and she smiled warmly, "Sano! Nothing much, why?"
Sano shrugged, "just wondering... whether you might like to go out for dinner with me Saturday night... and celebrate our anniversary?"
Sayo's eyes widened, "Sano! You remembered!"
Sano smiled, "sure I did. So are you free? Because I've already gotten the reservations and stuff."
Sayo smiled, "of course."
Sano shrugged, "well, see you later then."
As Sano walked away Sayo called, "Sano?" Sano turned to face Sayo. Sayo smiled, "thanks."
When Sano walked around the corner Shougo joined him. Sano turned to him and grinned. "Wow. She was so pleased. Thanks for reminding me dude."
Shougo smiled. He liked seeing his sister happy. He wasn't totally happy about her going out with Sano but if she was happy, he didn't mind too much. "Make sure you don't forget next time."
"I won't! Don't worry. I'm not that braindead."
"Oh really?" Shougo shot back lazily.
After five seconds Sano stopped in his tracks, "hey? What's that supposed to mean? Shougo!"
As Sano chased after Shougo who was already half way down the corridor, Shougo broke out into peals of laughter. "Not braindead my ass," he muttered under his breath.
"Airi!"
Airi turned slowly. Her eyes lit up with a smile. "Kenshin!"
Kenshin ran up to Airi, "hey. You can't just run away like that. We barely said hi!"
Airi laughed, "I guess. So how are things with you?"
"Great," Kenshin replied, "you still up for lunch today after school?"
Airi nodded. "Sure. Just the two of us then? I was going to ask someone else to come along but since Yukishirou-san isn't coming, it'll be pretty awkward with just the three of us."
"Sure. Oh yeah, I wanted to ask. What's going on between you and Okita?"
"Soushi? Nothing," Airi replied.
"Come on," Kenshin pressed, "then what was all that about in chem.?"
Airi shrugged, "nothing. Come on. Ken-chan! Like I'd keep a secret from you~!"
Kenshin blushed at hearing his childhood nickname. "Fine. But you like him?"
Airi nodded, "yup! I like him so much, I want to bite him! He's soooo KAWAII~!!"
"Ano... Airi," Kenshin began, "you're too honest and outgoing for your own good."
"Whatever," Airi said, "anyway, Ken-chan. Speaking of chem., what about you and Kamiya-san? Are you sure there isn't something between you two?" Airi's green eyes glistened cheekily.
Kenshin scowled, "I have nothing to say about that girl."
Airi stared at Kenshin slightly surprised. It wasn't like Kenshin to hold a grudge against someone, let alone a girl. She changed the subject, "so, are you going to the cafeteria?"
Kenshin shook his head, "I have detention, remember?"
Airi nodded remembering. "Well then, good luck. I'll see you after school in front of your locker?"
Kenshin nodded, "yeah... see you."
Airi watched silently as Kenshin walked down the hall. She wondered what would happen in detention with Kenshin and Kamiya-san. With those two, something interesting was bound to haven. Airi sighed ruefully, wishing she could be there. She turned and walked slowly towards the cafeteria. Maybe, Soushi would be there... X3
"You're late," Kaoru said curtly as Kenshin entered the room.
Kenshin stuck out his tongue, "none of your business."
Kaoru bit her lip. This guy seriously got on her nerves. "Well Mr. Its-none-of-your-business, because you were late, Saitoh-sensei went out looking for you. You gotten him all pissed off and now we're probably going to be in even bigger trouble than we were before."
"So who told you to lose your temper and get us in detention in the first place?"
"EXCUSE ME?!" Kaoru cried out indignantly.
"Fine, you're excused. Now shut up."
Kaoru felt her blood boiling. She grabbed a duster and threw it at Kenshin with all her might. "Take that, you jerk!"
The duster landed clearly on Kenshin's forehead creating a cloud of chalk dust. Kenshin picked up the duster, brushing off (unsuccessfully) the chalk dust from his face and his hair. "Why you!" Kenshin threw the duster back at Kaoru.
Kaoru tried to dodge but she was too late. The duster left a large trace of chalk on her navy blazer. "URRGGHH!! You know I just want to KILL you!"
"Kill me then?" Kenshin said standing in front of the door. Why don't you throw that again? Maybe if you're lucky, it'll hit me on the head and knock me out. If you're really lucky, maybe I'll go into a coma and never wake up again."
"I wish!" Kaoru yelled and threw the duster at Kenshin. Kenshin ducked. Unfortunately, the door opened at that moment and the duster hit Saitoh squarely on his face.
Kaoru's jaw dropped open. She bit her lip. Oh no! What had she done? Kenshin looked just as shocked. Saitoh stared at the both of them covered in chalk. He picked up the duster from the floor. Brushing off some chalk dust around his eyes, he said in a tight, clenched voice, "what the HELL is going on here."
