'The question that I ask myself most often is, can you Love the person that you hate more than anything or anyone in the whole world?'

The bell sounded signaling the end of the first round of classes. It was know time for lunch. Kenshin stood and turned to Karou who stood gathering her supplies. "Himura-san would you like me to show you were the Lunch room is?"

"It's Kenshin, just Kenshin and that would be great. And on the way could you show me where my next class is?"

"Sure, no problem, what is your next class?"

"I signed up for Kendo, when I registered; they put it as my 5th period class."

"Really, Wow you usually have to have go threw a test and you have to be pretty good to get in. My brother and I are in it. Lucky for you we have the same 5th period class."

"You fight? You don't seem the type." Kenshin Said with a smile on his face.

Karou blushed slightly and said "It might be hard to believe but I come from a long line of ninjas." Karou looked up and saw Kenshin grinning at her. "What?"

Kenshin smiled and said "Do you know what you remind me of?" Karou looked at him and said, "What?"

"A Tanuki, That's what." Karou was blushing so fiercely that her cheeks were practically on fire. Kenshin smiled and said "Do mind if I call you that?" Karou looked at him and smiled, only one person had ever referred to her as a Tanuki.

It was her late father, and instead of feeling sad or angry she felt happy. She turned and replied "Not at all." Blushing a lot less, she started talking with Kenshin and walked straight into Aoshi.CLASH

Karou Collided with her sibling and tripped backwards suddenly feeling a warm grip catch her instead of her hitting the floor. Aoshi, surprised as she was, not to mention a little confused at this guy suddenly holding his sister looked from Karou to Kenshin and said, "Sorry Karou I was in a hurry..." Aoshi was still staring at Kenshin because without realizing it he was still holding on to Karou who was starting to blush.

"That's fine Aoshi, I wasn't paying attention ether." Seeing that Aoshi was staring at Kenshin she said,"Oh... this is Kenshin H..."

"I know who he is Karou-chan." Aoshi replied giving Kenshin a dark glare.

"We better get to lunch before we have to go to any other classes." Kenshin said still staring at Aoshi in a dead lock daring him to keep on talking.

Kaoru completely confused just said,"Sure." and looked at her brother and only got a worried glance her way. Kenshin who turned to walk away when he saw Sano and Megumi approaching turned and smiled and said "Coming Tanuki?"

Aoshi suddenly had the urge to punch Kenshin in the gut but swallowed it because Sano put his hand on his shoulder. Karou who was really confused by all off this just turned glancing over her shoulder one last tome, seeing him look like he was going to ripe someone's throat turned and looked at Kenshin and said "What made you think of me as a raccoon?"

Kenshin just smiled not only at Karou's Question but also that he had found a weakness in Aoshi. His sister, Karou.
