Chapter 2- Kamiya vs. Himura: The beginning of it all

"I don't love you Battousai!"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Battousai plunged his sword into her chest, his amber eyes filled with rage.

Blood splattered everywhere. She lay there, dead.

He gasped in horror as he realized what he had done. He had killed her. He had the one thing he loved the most. "I'm sorry..Shiora..I'm sorry.." He fell down and kneeled beside her unmoving body. He took her limp figure ad hugged it to him, crying uncontrollably. "I'm sorry"

Murder. He was sure he'll be charged with murder. He murdered her. It was all his fault she was dead.

"KENSHIN HIMURA!!!!" Aritomo-sensei banged his desk with a meter stick, startling the living daylights out of Kenshin.

"What?!" Kenshin snapped. "Geez old man.. Don't ever do that! I swear I'll get you fired next time."

Behind him, Kaoru rolled her eyes. 'I can't believe the nerve of that guy. He is such a brat!'

Feeling a pair of eyes on him, Kenshin turned around and saw Kaoru. He gave her his most charming smile and winked. Thinking she would instantly fall in love with him like all the other girls, he waited for her reaction.

But Kaoru didn't swoon over him with love-sick eyes. Instead she raised an eyebrow and glared at him. Kenshin was shocked. This new chick didn't even like him. He was so used to making chicks fall for him in one wink that he was dumbfounded it didn't work on Kaoru.

'What's with her?' Kenshin seethed 'How the fuck does she not like me? ME? The guy everyone in school is crazy about?'. The thought of having a girl like Kaoru not falling for him made Kenshin angrier. 'I'll show her! She'll be over me by the end of this semester.'

Kaoru stood up after the bell rang. She went over to Misao who was waiting for her outside the classroom.

"Hey Kao-chan." Misao beamed. She had instantly liked Kaoru the first time she met her. Kaoru had a nasty temper, and she practiced kendo. She had learned all of these from lunch yesterday.

"Hey Misao." Kaoru smiled genuinely.

Kenshin appeared behind Kaoru and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around to face him and her smile instantly disappeared. "Yes?" she asked coldly.

"No need to be like that Kamiya" Kenshin smirked. "I was just gonna ask you if you could move out of the way?" Kenshin smirked again and waved to Misao who he noticed behind Kaoru. "Hey weasel,"

Misao glared at him while Kaoru whacked him on the head. "Don't call her weasel!"

Kenshin glared. No one. I mean no one, had ever done that to him. "What the hell did you do that for?!"

"Don't call Misao a weasel!"

"Don't you tell me what to do, tanuki!"

That nickname earned Kenshin another Whack in the head.

Kenshin grabbed her wrist and kissed her briefly. Kaoru angrily slapped him and dragged Misao to gym class, huffing.

'The nerve of that brat! How dare he?! HOW DARE HE?! I SWEAR I'LL KILL HIM! Kami-sama, how could Sanosuke befriend that arrogant jerk?! Stupid spiky-haired rooster!' Kaoru stomped angrily into the locker room with Misao.

'Megumi was right. Kao-chan really does have a nasty temper' Misao mused liking Kaoru even more. "Calm down,Kaoru" Misao giggled.

Kaoru smiled at her. "Yeah.. I suppose I should. It's not like that Himura jerk woul be in this class too. Right? Right?!"

"Um...."

"Mentioned something about Himura?" Megumi asked as she entered the room. "I knew it was you" she said to Kaoru.

"Hey Meg."

"What's up?"

"Y'know that jerk who's friends with Sano?" Kaoru asked.

"Oh yeah. Ken-san. What about him?" Megumi imagined Kaoru and Kenshin together. 'Cute' "You like him don't you?"

"No! I admit, he does have good looks, but I do not, I repeat do not like him. He's such an insensitive clod, an arrogant jerk and an idiot to match! I hate him!"

"Calm down Kaoru" Megumi warned. "Breathe"

"Okay, Okay, sheesh" Kaoru rolled her eyes.

After Misao, Kaoru and Kenshin had changed, they headed on outside. They had to wear a white shirt that showed most of their stomach, white skirt that reached their thighs and a pair of white tennis shoes.

"Who the heck designed this gym uniform?" Kaoru asked. "They should be shot in the head!"

"Tell me about it.." Misao muttered.

"I find it rather...interesting" Megumi said, posing.

Kaoru rolled her eyes and opened the soors that led to the gymnasium.

There, Kenshin's group was seen laughing at some joke he had said. Sano, who was beside him, caught sight of the three girls and waved them over.

"Jou-chan!! Fox! Ninja-girl! Over here!"

Kaoru groaned as she saw Kenshin. Megumi laughed and dragged her over to the group. Misao was the first one to reach them, since she was very eager to see her Aoshi-sama.

Kaoru rolled her eyes at Megumi and smiled at Sano. "Hey rooster-head"

Sano blinked. "Rooster? Jou-chan..I think you've been spending too much time with Megitsune here. What have you been doing to my cousin kitsune?"

"Hmph! It's better of that she's hanging out with me. I'm a much better influence than you."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means Kaoru would be better off hanging out with me since all you're gonna do is poison her mind with your idiotic self."

"Meg.. Sano is not an idiot." Kaoru defended. "Much.." Kaoru smiled "Aww.. Come on..just admit you like him"

"Me? Like that baka? Why would I like some punk who has a stupid rooster-like hair, wears a stupid red bandana, smokes, drinks and beat up innocent people?" Megumi huffed "Not to mention, he's so dumb! And thinks he's a god in this school!"

Kaoru turned to Sano. "You don't really beat up innocent people do you?" she asked curiously.

"No!" Sano defended gnawing on his fishbone. "Sometimes"

"See?"

"Well at least I'm not some man-eating fox!"

"I am not a man-eater"

"You're a geek"

"Guys! Stop it!" Kaoru shouted, tired of hearing their arguments. She rolled her eyes at both of them.

Megumi and Sano weren't paying attention to her though. They continued on arguing.

"You smoke a lot!"

"You flirt with boys a lot!"

"You have tons of girlfriends!"

"You're just jealous caz I never asked you out!"

"Why would I want you to ask me out?!"

"Caz you're in love with me!"

"I am not in love with you!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"Sano! Megumi! STOP IT!! Just...urg! Shut up!!" Kaoru yelled annoyed.

"FINE!"

"FINE!"

Enishi, who was behind Sano noticed Kaoru's annoyed face. "Now, now..hot stuff..anger doesn't suite your pretty features" he winked. "So uh..you got anything planned tonight? Y'know.. Me and you could..get to know each other a little.. What do you say babe?"

Sano glared at Enishi and punched him. "Stay away from her Enishi"

Kaoru laughed.

A few minutes later, the teacher arrived. It was none other than Saitou.

"Okay, baka people, go to your assigned group and practice your swings. After your swings, we'll spar. Go! Miss Kamiya, over here please"

Kaoru approached Saitou. "Yes?"

"I trust you do know kendo"

"Hai"

"Good. You're gonna be on Misao's group since you and the itachi get along so well"

Kaoru nodded and headed back to her group. Misao was of course, delighted that Kaoru was in her team.

"Great. I can't wait to see how good you are" misao told Kaoru. "Guys.." she turned to her teammates "This is Kamiya Kaoru"

Kaoru smiled and waved to everyone.

"And these are.. Tae, Soujiro, Yumi, and Michiro"

Five minutes later, Saitou blew his whistle and signaled everyone that it was time for sparring.

"Okay! First match today is Kamiya against Himura" Saitou said.

There were whispers around the room as they saw Kaoru.

"She'll never beat Himura. He's too good"

"Of course. No one has ever beat him."

Kenshin smirked at Kaoru, and winked. She glared at him and did her stance.

Saitou blew his wisle and sat down. 'This should be interesting'

The two paced around the room, Kaoru glaring at Kenshin, and Kenshin smirking at her. Kaoru charged at Kenshin, starting off the match. Kenshin disappeared and reappeared behind him. He brought down his bokken which Kaoru easily blocked.

'He's fast' Kaoru thought as Kenshin disappeared again 'Okay..where the hell is he?'

Kenshin appeared behind her. He smirked and wrapped his arms around her waist, giving her a quick peck on the cheek.

Kaoru's eyes widened as she realized what was happening. She growled and brought up her bokken, which collided with Kenshin's head.

"OW!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!!!" Kenshin seethed as a big lump grew on his head.

Kaoru chuckled as she saw Kenshin angrily rubbing his head.

Kenshin turned to her and glared. "What the hell are you laughing for?!"

Kaoru raised an eyebrow and shook her head. "Nothing. So..are we gonna continue or not?"

Kenshin glared again. "Screw you"

Saitou blew his whistle and shouted, "Time's up! Winner: Miss Kamiya. Baka Himura loses" Saito blew his whistle again. "NEXT MATCH!!"

Kaoru gave Kenshin a smug smile and offered to help him up. Kenshin smirked and reached out for her hand. Just as he was about to, Kaoru changed her mind and withdrew her hand.

"Nah..I guess you can help yourself up" Kaoru gave him another smug smile and left.

Kenshin glared and growled. "Damn that bitch" He stood up and glanced to where Kaoru was standing, watching the second match, which was being fought by Soujiro and some guy.

Kaoru suddenly turned and noticed Kenshin was looking at her. Or rather..glaring. She gave him a sweet smiled and turned away to continue watching.

Kenshin gritted his teeth and thought, 'I'll show her. She's gonna pay for this'
