Kikari looked into the crowd of football players before they started and found herself staring at him again…she hated that. It was even worst when he looked back at her for a second before he threw on his helmet and ran onto the field.

Kikari sighed, this just wasn't her day she never wanted to like someone, especially when she first looked at them. What captured her the most about him were his lavender eyes, even from a distance they were so beautiful and mysterious. Something she liked in a boy, when she did…like a boy, which has never happened. Kikari thought to herself 'maybe…I should talk to him…no, no then I would screw up and get all tongue-tied and then I could never face him again. Should I play it cool like Mya said? Isn't that the same as rejecting? Well on the other hand Mya knew more about boy's than I do. The most I know about boy's was that they liked the slutty cheer freaks, they went to school with her, and you married them when you felt you couldn't live without them or how they say it 'fell in love', then you would divorce a couple of years later and end up with the kids and being in debt. Yup…she was going to need Mya and Rena's help on this. She was going to play hard to get…not like she wasn't already hard to get.' Kikari looked around her when she got the courage to look around and ignored the winks and kissy faces all the immature boy's were giving her. 'This is why I want to leave this school faster' she thought before she eavesdropped on a pair of cheerleader's conversion in front of her.

"That's Kenshin!" the one in pink said happily

"Where?" the one in blue asked

"Number eighteen! My favorite number!" the one in yellow snapped

"I thought you're favorite number was one?" the one in pink asked

"Now it's eighteen, I LOVE YOU KENSHIN!" The girl in blue screamed onto the field.

Kikari got angered at this…'wait am I jealous?' she thought before she realized that no one around her even seemed to care that she said that 'it just might be normal in a football game, but hey I've never been to one in my life so I wouldn't know.' She returned to listening in on there conversation, but glared at the girl.

"He's so hott! I wonder if Lanna's still after him." The one in yellow asked

"Yes she is, she went out with him once, but as soon as she started really going after him…you know what I mean, he broke up with her." The one in blue said happily

"That means he's single!" the one in pink replied happily.

"But if anyone even gets close to him Lanna's going to destroy their life. So we don't have a prayer, she has her name all over him. You can just tell" the one in yellow looked at him. "But it would sure be nice to have him on a cold night wouldn't it?"

"Shut up! Let's go I'm tried of looking at someone who I'll never have!" the one in pink pulled the others off the bleachers and out of the football area to leave.

Kikari felt a little down 'it figure's he would have someone after him, with claws. And of all the damn people in this school it was Lanna. The one who she hated ever since…

Flashback

"Move out of my way loser!" a ten-year-old girl with bouncy blonde hair in pigtails and in a cheering outfit pushed nine year old Kikari down off the bus into a mud-puddle.

"You little Bitch!" Kikari screamed at her. "This was my only good outfit!"

"To bad, we all can't be as rich as me, Lanna, I just go to a public school so I can look like the best all the time you little tramp!" she lifted her nose up in the air and started to walk off.

"Say that to my face" Kikari hissed. No body except her mother and father were allowed to call her names, it also infuriated her how suck up she was.

"With pleasure" Lanna smirked as she walked over and bent her head down millimeters away from Kikari face "I said you were a TRAM-"

BAM

"OOOOOWWWWW MY BEAUTIFUL EYE! HOW DARE YOU PUNCH LANNA DECOY! HOW DARE YOU!" Lanna screamed as she held her hand over her eye to cool it. "TRAMP! YOU FUCKING TRAMP!" Lanna screamed then suddenly stopped as if she got a wicked idea in her little evil head as she walked over to Kikari. "I'm going to make your life a living hell for doing this." She smirked and ran over to the teacher crying. "Ms. Norberry! K-Kikari hit me in the eye! And all I did was try and hug her to be nice! Then she cussed me out! I'm scared Ms. Norberry! She unsafe to be around!"

The teacher immediately sent her to the office with another teacher as she marched over to the innocent Kikari "did you this to Lanna?" the teacher demanded, Kikari never knew a teacher could be so mean.

"It wasn't my fault! She was calling me a tramp!" Kikari tried to explain harshly by crossing her arms looking away from Ms. Norberry.

"Miss. Wanderer! Lanna would never lie about something like that! You hit her even! We are going to call your parents about this!" Ms. Norberry grabbed her wrist and started pulling her to the office while dragging her threw the hall.

"Please Ms. Norberry! Not my parents! I'll do anything just don't call my parents!" Kikari started to cry, if her parents knew then…then they would call her more things and start beating her hard if she did a single thing wrong, and then tonight…

"Will you say you're sorry?" Ms. Norberry stopped in front of the principal's office door.

'Anything, but that, it was worth a beating to not have to apologize to her.' "Anything…but that" Kikari said weakly, she hated it when they beat her.

"Fine then, we are going to call your parents then, then put this on your permanent record!" Ms. Norberry was way too upset that Kikari had refused to even let one thing slide. She never did trust Kikari just because she wore dark things, like black shirts, and pants.

After Ms. Norberry wrote what she did on the permanent records and called her parents

"Ms. Wanderer? This is Kikari's teacher Ms. Norberry. I'm calling about your Childs behavior problems…yes…yes…oh my…no that's ok. Thanks you for understanding, goodbye" Ms. Norberry hung up the phone.

"Kikari?" Ms. Norberry smiled at her "that was your mother, she said to suspended you, and I won't unless this continues ok?"

Kikari nodded her head and Ms. Norberry returned her to class. Well the next few day's Lanna did ruin her life, every morning as she got off the bus Lanna would call her a tramp and push her temping her to hit her again so she would be suspended. Kikari wasn't very good at keeping her fist form hitting someone, but god was on her side she guessed for she didn't hit her for whatever she did, and boy did she do a lot.

First, Lanna would copy her paper from school, she would try and tell the teacher, but when ever she did Lanna would prove someway that Kikari was copying off of her even though it was impossible since Lanna sat behind her and she would have to do a complete 180 to see her paper, and also through all the love notes and passing notes she was getting covering her paper.

Second, she would find people she would pay to give her drugs and bugs to put in her lunch box when she wasn't looking. Then when she would open it, bugs would come out and scare her to death, until she did it so much that the bugs become her best friends and she really didn't care anymore. When she found drugs she would give them to the person next to her for some of there lunch, then when they got caught they could never blame her since she always made them swear on their life.

Third, she would do a whole lot of things to ruin her life, put glue in her hair making her cut in boy-short for WINTER! Then she would take her gym clothes and cut them into little piece's so she couldn't dress out and fail gym that year, which she did, then she would tell ugly guys that Kikari liked them and that led to a total shoot down of ego's for the guy's making her feel bad. In fact she would do a lot of things that made her life miserable, but the worst thing that ever happened was when she got 'black-listed' in her school the last year of middle school.

Lanna was in a bad mood for some reason and decided to take her fury out on Kikari that morning, Lanna felt evil, not that she wasn't evil to begin with but a more 'purer' evil. First she when to the girl's locker room and never came back for lunch, Kikari got suspicious and wanted to see what she was up to and followed her into the girl's locker room.

One of the biggest mistakes of her life.

Lanna when with her clothes on and showered her self until she was drenched wet, then she took out scissors from her pocket and cut her clothes so you could almost she her clothes falling off her. Then she messed her hair up and took a bag of mud from her book bag and smoldered it on her face. She started to cry until her cheeks were puffy and she saw Kikari. Kikari started to run out the door until Lanna grabbed her by the wrist and covered her with mud and water. She stopped and ran out the door, Kikari followed to see where she was going, beat her up and found...

The whole cafeteria staring at her and Lanna totally silent to hear what Lanna had to say...

There was Lanna…crying over at the teacher's table all she could hear was….

"It was horrible! I just when to get my clothes from the gym locker room and she attacked me! She ripped my clothes and beat me up, I was lucky to even get out of there! I was thinking she was even gay! Who know what could have happened!" she started to cry on a teachers shoulder.

"KIKARI!" One of the teachers yelled, before they black listed her…Lanna stopped everything after that for some reason…maybe it was because that was the day her life ended…

Flashback ended

"If I had a gun I would kill her and then keep shooting even though she was dead…to bad people only die once then I would kill her over a million times…nah I'm too nice." Kikari said harshly to herself.

"What?" Rena asked looking over at Kikari staring at the ground again.

"Lanna…is after Kenshin too…she's the demon not me…" Kikari whispered she didn't like saying her name out loud, she didn't want people to think she knew her…they just might remember.

"Oh…I didn't know that." Rena said thinking to herself as if she was trying to remember something.

"That fucking shithole…she needs to die so we can finally have world peace." Mya growled she hated it when someone hurt her friend. The first time she hear the story about her from Kikari it made her sick and so she beat her up one day. Then Lanna got a restraining order on her. "Damn the government for making restraining orders" Mya cursed. "By the way the games over." Mya mumbled thinking about Lanna felt like she had just ruined her day.

"We won and guess who scored the winning touchdown?" Rena smirked

"My going-to-be-boyfriend…would have if he didn't pass the ball to…"

"Kenshin of course…" Kikari sighed her mind hurt just thinking of Lanna's name, she was going to be at that party, and she could do a lot of shit to make her life worst at the party.

"Listen you promise you wouldn't ever think or talk about her again so stop and be happy! That bitch is gone from your life!" Mya smiled

"Ok. Fine." Kikari smiled back, she had to stop thinking about Lanna it was only going to make her life worst anyway so today she was going to enjoy herself no matter what happens."

"Good because you're coming with me to meet my going-to-be-boyfriend!" Mya smiled at her "Rena go ahead to the jeep and get our dresses ready!" Rena nodded and left with the crowd.

"Come on" Mya hissed at Kikari pulling her with her down the bleachers next to the fence to the field where Mya's want-to-be-boyfriend was standing next to…

Kenshin

'God I'm not ready…and I don't think I'll ever be ready…' Kikari prayed 'help me' she smiled to the heaven's before she reached the gate and was staring back into Kenshin's beautiful soft lavender eyes again. 'I love his eyes' she thought as she gave him her rare smile. The crowd of girls that just appeared wasn't helping any after a moment of happiness between Kenshin and her. She tried to get passed all the screaming girls, but there was to many of them, and soon they had no other choice, but to leave.

"Mya, what about you going-to-be-boyfriend?" Kikari asked a little down that she couldn't stare into Kenshin's eyes or have a chance to look and drool at his muscles either. 'Just remember to reject him.' She reminded herself.

"You mean Eien? He's…busy at the moment I guess…I can take down a lot of girls, but this…is ridiculous there's so many I don't think any will be at the dance/ball thing! Oh well come on Rena is probably throwing a fit we lasted this long here without reason." Mya left for the jeep, while Kikari followed, but not without Lavender eyes following every move she made until out of seeing distance…
