Chapter 5: Laughter serves as the best medicine

OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

"Why did I say it?"

OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

A young man about 6 ft tall came walking on the halls of Kaitani high. Various students stared at him. They've never met him before and he was never in their class.

He passed by a petite woman with black and blue hair gathered in a bun and ocean blue eyes filled with sadness. He felt as if he knew the gal. But he ignored the thought and headed for his new classroom. He had black hair with long bangs almost obscuring his eyes. His hands were placed inside his pockets as he carried his bag on one hand.

oOoooooooOOoooooooOo

Misao quietly sat on her desk and remained silent. Megumi on the other hand, kept spreading rumours but they weren't about her but a certain male who was walking in the hall a while ago.

"He does look good, doesn't he?" a blonde haired lass voiced.

"Got that right! But you know something, he looked kinda……"

"Serious? Creepy? Quiet?" Megumi uttered suddenly.

"Y-Yeah… He kind of acted like Misao."

All eyes turned to the silent woman sitting quietly on her desk minding her own business.

Misao pretended not to hear anything but she heard it loud and clear. 'I don't really care who that guy is.' She voiced in her head and gazed out the window, her hand supporting her chin. Her long wavy hair was tied in a bun today. She then remembered something and turned to her right to see her closest friend, Kaoru, gone. Her eyes showed a bit of concern and loneliness at that matter.

"I've never seen him before have you?"

"Not really but maybe he's just moved here."

"Yeah you two may be right." Said Megumi.

"Takani-san, you've been acting strange lately."

The Takani woman raised an eyebrow and muttered, "Really?"

"Homeroom is about to start." Misao's voice stated.

All eyes turned to Misao.

As one of them parted her lips to protest, their teacher entered the room coolly. She then made a 'hmph' sound and crossed her arms while Misao smirked a bit.

oOoooooooOOoooooooOo

"Well everyone, good morning to you all. I have some bad news and some good news, though I'm not sure if it really is good, for all of you. First of all, Kamiya-san isn't attending school for two whole days for the reason that she is suffering a case of high fever. I'm sorry about that. Second, we have a new student. He comes from Kyoto, Japan. Please come in."

A tall young man with ink- jet black hair and eyes came walking in the room. The girls blushed and gasped. Misao didn't pay attention and kept gazing out the window while their new friend is focusing his wonderful eyes on her. Misao then felt the presence of his eyes and turned to the front and gasped. He has turned his eyes away at that moment.

Misao then placed her hands on her lap and began to redden. Their teacher then wrote his name on the board neatly and voiced to all, "Shinomori Aoshi is his name. He will be joining our class from now on. I hope you get along with him well. Now where should you seat?" As the teacher searched for vacant seats around the classroom, Misao formed fists on her skirt and lowered her head. 'Why did he come? And when I was about to mail the letter to him… Aoshi-sama naze?'

"Oh, the seat behind Kamiya-san isn't occupied isn't it? Well then go ahead and take your seat, Shinomori-san."

The young lad quietly headed for his new place and sighed as he sat.

Misao's head was still lowered but her redness faded.

Megumi eyed the two suspiciously and formed a sly smile on her cunning lips. 'I see so this is how it is eh?'

oOoooooooOOoooooooOo

"Ne Misao-chan, Kaoru-chan isn't here today and she told us if you're ever alone, we'd cheer you up. So do you wanna eat lunch with us upstairs?" one of Kaoru's pals offered.

"You mean to the rooftop?" Misao muttered plainly.

"Mhm!"

She then shifted her eyes on her desk and thought about it.

"…."

"Sure I'll go." And with that she immediately stood from her seat and joined the group for lunch.

oOoooooooOOoooooooOo

"Shinomori-san." A female voice called.

Aoshi turned his head to his back and asked, "What is it?"

"You seem alone. Care to have lunch with us?"

"EH!" the girls gasped and flushed in surprise.

Aoshi sighed. "Oh and by the way I'm Takani Megumi and these are my pals. Nice to meet you"

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well but I would like to eat alone, thank you for the offer though." And with that he walked off, leaving the classroom.

The gals sighed in relief. "Mou why did you suddenly do that?"

Megumi frowned and left the group.

oOooooooooOOooooooooOo

Kaoru's pals obligingly took her to lunch with them. They didn't seem to mind her behaviour. How quiet and serious she is not like the others.

When they finally reached their destination, they found Sanosuke Sagara and his fellow classmate, Shei Fa who comes from Hong Kong. Kaoru's friends, Miyu, Nanao and Maya, began chuckling and covered their mouths. A question mark popped up on Misao's head as she wondered what was going on with them.

"What the?"

Sagara then noticed the group of girls and waved at them. "Oi ladies what you up to?" Sagara has never met them before but Kaoru knew very well who and what he is. Where did she get the info you ask? Well from her current boyfriend, Kenshin Himura. He and Sanosuke are good friends. Himura is in the 1st class while Sagara made it into the 1st class as well. Misao and Kaoru were in 2nd class of 4th year. Sanosuke Sagara is 17 yrs old and is actually a gigolo. Oh and about Shei Fa, she's somewhere from Hong Kong and grew up in Japan. She and Sano are good friends as well. She had long brown wavy hair and perfectly blue eyes. She's a bit short as well.

"Sagara-kun!" Nanao voiced.

"Fuck! How did you know my name!" he shouted in surprise.

Misao gasped at his language. Bad words are part of his everyday life…..

"Ah…Eh…..I'm one of Kaoru-chan's friends, Nanao Mikoru. Hajime Mashite!"

"Eh?" Sagara then scratched his head as he did the same thing to his tummy. "S-So ka…."

Shei Fa kept quiet.

Nanao then noticed her silent self and greeted her with hands in the air. "Oi Shei Fa-chan!"

"A-Aa…"

Miyu then joined the conversation. "Woah!... You two are having a relationship!"

"Na-NANI!" the two yelled together. They switched looks but immediately looked away from each other with blushes on their faces.

The other girls laughed except Misao. 'They seem so happy….'

"See!"

"I-I don't know what you're talking about!" Shei Fa voiced insecurely.

"Well now, you don't have to deny. You've two have been hanging out all day!"

"W-What was that!" together they said. Both flushed once again.

"A-Anyway mind your own business!" Shei Fa shouted with fists on her sides.

Nanao chuckled and said slyly, "Oooooooh…..you wanna have some private time?"

Shei Fa reddened like a tomato and yelled, "What's the matter with you! Oh! Well I think you're just jealous!"

"What!"

Sano chuckled and uttered arrogantly, "I am so popular with the girls…"

"What was that!" Nanao and Shei Fa voiced together.

Miyu and Maya then began to giggle. The three turned their eyes to the two young females so did Misao. The two giggled even louder and when that occurred… Misao smiled and began to laugh with them. Nanao, Sagara and Shei Fa turned their eyes on Misao's giggling form wide eyed.

"I have never seen Misao laugh before…" Nanao whispered to the two fellows next to her.

"Me too…" Shei Fa agreed.

"…….?' Was Sano's reaction.

"But the sound is kinda sweet, isn't it?" Shei Fa asked.

"Mhm." The other two agreed and they all began to laugh as well.

Meanwhile a tall figure stood leaning on the door with arms crossed as he watched them. His lips forming a little smile. "I'm glad you finally showed some amusement, Misao…" and with that he left his stance and headed back for the classroom.

Misao continued to laugh with her new friends while Megumi continued to act strangely.

OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

Author Notes: See? Misao can't stay solemn forever! She needs some laughter! Come on! Anyway I was hoping chapter 5 was a little better but I guess it is now….well I think so….
