I do not own Rurouni Kenshin or anything else that is mentioned in this fic except Cassi.

I'm sorry that I haven't updated. Bianca is currently threatening me, because she doesn't get to read about her Sano so I'll continue.

Chapter 7

Cassi's p.o.v.

"Binks is my nickname and the homicidal teacher is our new teacher, Mr. Ronhi. He's the one that's been doing this," I heard Bianca say. I pressed the ice closer to the bruise ad winced. I was realy sore. Suddenly, I remembered something.

"Bianca, go and check on the chemical. It should be going into the next phase soon." I called from inside the bathroom. I heard her leave the room and I slowly came out. Aoshi and Sanosuke turned to look at me as I sat down on the bed. The phone rang and I heard Bianca answer it. A few minutes later she entered the room looking downcast. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"I have to go back home, but I can come back on Monday. My mom's coming for me," she answered.

"You don't live here?" asked Sano. She shook her head and explained that she was just sleeping over. "Oh well, it's just going to be me, Cassi, and Ice Man then." He cracked a forced smile. She smiled sadly back at him and went to gather her stuff.

A brown Blazer pulled up to the house and blew the horn. Running outside, Bianca called out, "bye Cassi, guys." In return I shouted out.

"See ya Shamus," When she left I turned back inside to Sanosuke and Aoshi. Together they said one word.

"Shamous?" I laughed at started to explain.

"You people have some weird names," said Sano, raiding through the fridge…..again. I shook my head at him and turned back to Aoshi who was lying down on the couch.

"You okay," I asked. He nodded than got up and started sharpening his kodachis. I didn't need to read minds to know what Aoshi was thinking. Various ways of killing and torture of a certain gym teacher were going through his head.

Monday morning……

A week-end alone with Sanosuke and Aoshi was….interesting. They got into some fights ending with either Sano growling walking from Aoshi, Aoshi's kodachi on Sano's throat, and then it and the time I got so pissed off that I did something that had happened to me all week. I doused them both with the hose. I was about to leave, grabbing my keys, when a teal Grand Cherokee pulled up by my house. Recognizing Bianca's car, I ran out of the house, calling to the two fighters who were unknowing to me working together, on getting rid of a certain sensei.

"Take out Hollywood, and I want to hear the woodwinds play from the beginning to the second ending," said my band teacher, Ms. Donadelle. Sitting up next to Luben, we joined our stands together to put all four pages of the music on. Looking around I saw that Omari and Theron on their Alto Saxes had done the same thing, as did Akio on his Tenor. Right before we were going to play, I swore I saw a flash of brown and blue outside. They wouldn't have—nah. After playing all four pages back and front we were finally given a break. While the guys and I had symphonic Band. Bianca had Graphic Arts. I shook my head to get the feeling that someone was watching me out of it.

With the guys…..

"BRRRIING," the bell echoed in Sano's and Aoshi's head making them grind their teeth together. "What the hell is that thing for," asked Sano rubbing his ears. "Aahm" he cried as Aoshi grabbed him and dove behind a building. Dozens of children poured out from rooms throughout the buildings. "What the hell," said Sano.

"Go call your woman," said Aoshi pushing Sano forward.

"I don't have a woman," countered Sano.

"Don't play dumb go and talk to her," he said pushing Sano in the direction Bianca had taken thankfully in a deserted hallway.

"Alright," he said and jumped up on to the ledge and ran keeping up with the quick speed she was walking. "Bianca," she ignored him. "Bianca," she ignored her again. "Bianca god dammit," eh said grabbing onto her ponytail.

"Aah," she shouted and did the first thing she though of. BAM. Bianca's fist connected with Sanos' cheek. "Yow," then saw who it was. "What the hell is your face made of steel," she asked as Aoshi came up behind him. "Wait, what are you guys doing here in the first place." "Long story," was his only answer.

With me….

I turned the corner heading to my J.R.O.T.C. class. Both Bianca and I had it together just like Math, Science, History, English, Animation, and the dreaded class after this one, gym. I stopped short when I saw Bianca talking to Aoshi and Sanosuke, "What the hell do you think you're doing," I asked. I was interrupted however when Major Ridgeway called us over to get dressed. "Stay hidden," I tald them then turned back and quickly added, "no peeking." Aoshi simply nodded while Sanosuke smirked.

Bianca p.o.v.

"Where the hell do you think you're going," asked Aoshi as eh looked at Sano sneaking toward the lockers.

Knowing that it was useless to lie, Sano decided to fess up, "I was going to go and peek just because they said not to." Surprisingly, Aoshi didn't stop him but if one listened well enough you could hear the ninja whisper something under his breath.

"Don't blame me when you get hurt"

The street fighter walked into the locker room, timing his steps so no one would notice him. Being invisible had its advantages. He found the lockers we were in but realized that we had finished dressing. He tried to get outside quick enough, but to no avail. We dragged him outside and well you don't want to know what we did to him. We watched as eh staggered up to the tree Aoshi was laying down in. "Why didn't you help," he asked hoisting himself onto the tree despite his injuries..

"I prefer to say out of such things," he said with a smirk on his face. We smirked as well walking on to the field wearing our camouflage pants and brown shirts.

After J.R.O.T.C.

"That looks like a rough," said Sano as he walked in the middle of me and Cassi.

I nodded as I looked at Cassi's worried face, "What's wrong," asked Aoshi. She shook her head negatively and continued walking. I knew what was wrong. Out of all the students, Mr. Ronhi picked on Cassi the ostjust because she had asthma.

"Hello ladies," said Felix. He was a friend of ours but loved to flirt. He put his arms around each of our shoulders not even glancing at Sanosuke and Aoshi. He pressed us closer to him while we tried to get away. He kept on talking about how he was the greatest until I lost my cool.

"Felix, leave us alone before I pound you into the wall,"

"Feisty" he said smiling at us that was all it took. Sano grabbed him by the back of his shirt and flung him over the side of the two-story up railing. I turned around and saw that Aoshi was about to do something as well but Sano beat him to it.

Suddenly, I noticed that Aoshi had disappeared. "Um, have any of you seen Aoshi," I asked getting Cassi's attention. They both shook their heads but somehow I knew that Sano was hiding something. When we got to the gym, we were surprised to see that Mr. Ronhi wasn't there, surprised but please. We waited and waited until a substitute came in and informed us that he was 'detained.' He couldn't give us work because the psychotic teacher hadn't lift any, giving us a free last period. Seconds later, Aoshi sneaked in through the slightly open door.

"Where were you?" asked Cassi looking up from the Pre Calculus she was doing.

"Taking a walk," he answered calmly. We both raised our eyebrows and stared at each other in confusion. I turned to Sano with a suspicious look on my face.

"Something tells me you had something to do with Mr. Ronhi's absence," I asked him. I looked at him as he glanced at Aoshi, who smirked.

"You know us to well," answered Sanosuke. Cassi looked up from her work and turned to Aoshi. A look of understanding crossed her features, I understood now; Aoshi didn't go to take a walk.

"Did you kill him," asked Sano, he looked pretty downcast that he didn't get a piece of him.

"Unfortunately, all I did was the tie him up and gagged his sorry behind," answered the Oniwaban. He seated himself next to Cassi and looked over her shoulder at the Trig.

"Oh yeah," I said, "You need to help me with my Trig," I settled down on the area next to her with Sano next to me. Cassi started to explain and I hurried and finished the work before soccer practice started.

I really combined two chapters in one for this chapter. I think I'll be doing this from now on. Cheers Binks.
