Kenshin and Sanosuke were waiting in the foyer of the police station. They'd just asked a woman in suit who they assumed worked there to tell Saitou Hajime that they were waiting for him. A few minutes later the sound of shoes echoing on the floor came down the narrow hall until Saitou was standing before his two younger counterparts.

"What the hell you do you two want?" he asked rudely.

Sano, who never had a good relationship with authority, growled inwardly. Saitou it seemed was watching Sano 24/7 and was always giving him speeding tickets on a weekly basis. "Watch your mouth," he mumbled.

Saitou narrowed his eyes at Sano who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "Don't I see enough of you as it is, Sagara?"

"Please Saitou," stepped in Kenshin trying to ease the growing tension. "We need a favour."

"You two? Need a favour from me?" Saitou laughed sarcastically and pulled out a cigarette and lighter from his back pocket. He lit it and the room soon became overwhelmed with smoke. "And remind me why I'm on such friendly terms with you two?"

Kenshin and Sano looked to each other and back at Saitou with glaring eyes.

"Saitou please, its for a friend of mine," pleaded Kenshin but he noticed Saitou didn't show any signs of being moved. "A close friend."

"Oh please," sneered Saitou as he sent a puff of nauseating smoke into the air. "Like I give a shit about your friends."

Saitou turned on his heel and started to walk down the hall until Kenshin ran out in front of him and blocked his path. Sano blocked Saitou from behind.

"You have to listen to me," said Kenshin sternly.

"I don't have to do anything for you or your drunk of friend over there," countered Saitou with a chilling tone. "Now get out of my way before I'm forced to do something I really want to."

"Listen to me," ordered Kenshin raising his voice. "I think there's something going on at the university. Something to do with Hiruma Gohei and Kamiya Kaoru."

Saitou smirked and blew a stream of smoke into Kenshin's face, "So this is about a girl is it?"

"Would you stop being a prick for one minute," lectured Sano from behind. "We're serious."

"I need you to find out everything you can about Gohei. Anything you might have on and off record," said Kenshin.

"Hiruma Gohei…" Saitou blew another puff of smoke into the air, killing the precious supply of oxygen Kenshin and Sano had left. "His been in here a few times. Talked with me about your campus security or some administrative bull like that."

Kenshin looked straight into Saitou's arrogant eyes waiting for a positive response to their plea.

"But," began Saitou after a pause. "I'm afraid your pitiful little petitions aren't that convincing. Now get out of my way."

Kenshin moved to block Saitou again, "Fine. You wanna play it that way," threatened the amber-eyed redhead. Kenshin reached into his back pocket and pulled out a photograph and held it up. Saitou's face instantly dropped, even the cigarette in his mouth became limp.

With much pleasure Sano took this fantastic moment to banter his sworn enemy. "My, my Saitou. You do take pictures well. When was this Kenshin? Around December no? Yeah it must be Saitou, that stripper on you lap is wearing a Santa hat."

"How dare you!" yelled Saitou as he lunged for the picture in Kenshin's hand. But the picture was tucked safely back into Kenshin's pocket before he could snatch it.

"Well Sano what do you think Tokio will make of this?" asked Kenshin.

Saitou growled, "You wouldn't."

"You don't want to try us. Trust me, we have copies." warned Sano. "Now will you be a good boy and run off and get what we need because we're not done with you yet."

"What!" yelled Saitou.

"Kamiya Kaoru got caught today with cocaine planted in her room. We believe that Gohei put it there then raided her room," informed Kenshin.

"And what would you like me to do about it?" asked Saitou.

"Get the fingerprints of the room where the coke was found and compare it to Gohei's."

"Just how do I get Gohei's fingerprints?"

"Well if your lucky it will be on file. Then again if you're not then I guess you better get creative," offered Sano.

"Just think Saitou if anything dirty really is going on within the school you'll be the cop to take all the credit," tempted Kenshin.

Saitou looked from Kenshin to Sano with a ready-to-kill expression that soon broke into a mere growl. "I guess I don't have much of a choice. But you better not even mention anything about that photo to Tokio."

"Scout's honour," said Sano.

"Here come with me, we'll look Gohei up in the computer. Then you two fill me in on the details."

A/N: Here's the new chapter. Sorry its short but another will becoming soon. I think two more because I decided to split my idea for this chapter in half. So R&R and I got to go so toodles.
