Chapter 2: First Class"Hey Megumi, so what's on the menu for lunch today?" Sano questioned his girlfriend draping his hand across her shoulders.
"Kaoru made sandwiches for all of us. She made them before I woke up this morning. So why don't you ask her if you're so curious to know what she put in them."
Sanosuke leaned over impishly to look at Kenshin and began snickering like a fool in the school hallway.
"Watch where you're going pal!" Someone yelled irately.
"Sorry about that man!" Sanosuke apologized while giggling himself towards lunacy.
"Cut it out Sanosuke!" Kaoru screamed loudly, pitching a textbook behind him that missed and hit the floor. "If you don't want the sandwiches then it's fine by me. Kenshin and I can enjoy it by ourselves very well without you."
"Good luck with that Kenshin."
"Now now Sanosuke," Kenshin giggled.
"Behave you two," Megumi ordered trying to calm them both down. Her demands came a second too late though, as Sanosuke began sulking from the sight of Aoshi cruising down the hall. Snuggled under his left arm was a cute little hothead, with long black hair cascading over her shoulders.
"Honestly Kenshin, how could you be so cool with that guy? He's always serious and gloomy and his friends totally give me the creeps."
"Things aren't always what they seem Sanosuke. Maybe you need to hang out with him a bit more. Besides, whenever he's approaching, I don't exactly see you running in the opposite direction."
"That's because I don't wanna piss him off…"
"Hey Kenshin. What's the latest man?" Aoshi said cutting all conversations. He patted his friend on the back lightly before turning to greet Sano.
"Sanosuke…"
He and Sanosuke whacked palms together.
"…Young ladies."
And he bowed his head slightly giving the females acknowledgement.
"Our first class begins in about ten minutes Kenshin. So I suggest we seriously get to stepping. I'm sure you remembered what happened the last time we arrived late for Mr. Kanryu's class."
"No, I won't forget that," Kenshin replied sheepishly.
"Well Misao and I have classes this morning also. So I guess we'll see you guys later around lunchtime."
"I guess so." Kenshin leaned over and kissed Kaoru lightly and then he rose up to see Aoshi doing Misao the same.
"See you at lunch Aoshi," the young girl chimed delightfully.
"Same here Kenshin," Kaoru agreed smiling similarly as well.
"Luckily for us, our classes don't start until ten thirty. So Megumi and I will study in the library until then."
The others stared at Megumi and Sano suspiciously with blatant I-don't-believe-you expressions.
"Well, see you later guys," everyone replied sarcastically.
"Sure, we'll see you guys later." Megumi and Sanosuke then went the opposite way.
"What do you think Kaoru?" Misao inquired. "Do you think Sanosuke and Megumi are actually heading towards the library?"
"Well you know my answer to that," Kaoru simply replied.
Yeah, I thought so, Misao agreed silently.

Aww man, I guess I should have left with Ken and Sanosuke after all. It's five minutes to eight and I'm seriously running late for class.
"Damn Tsubame! Doesn't she even know what time it is?" Yahiko complained loudly. "She's taking like forever just to get her butt down here!" Yahiko raised his hand again to press the doorbell but halted in his tracks when he heard the sound of knocking chains. The door handle turned to the right slightly and a pretty face smiled up at him through a crack in the door.
"Yahiko. Hurry up and get in," the young girl whispered. "And be discrete about it, I don't want to disturb the neighbors." She scanned the area vigilantly before pulling Yahiko behind her and locking the door. She then dragged him over to the living room eagerly pushing him unto the nearest sofa.
"Tsubame…?"
"Yes Yahiko, I'm skipping school today."
"But why?"
"Isn't it patently obvious?" Tsubame huddled over Yahiko aggressively placing two fingers over his half-opened mouth. She tugged at the robe that partially clothed her body loosening the straps for a bewildered Yahiko to perceive.
"I want to spend more time with you and now that my guardians are away, I'll finally have the entire house all to myself. They'll be away for two days so I'm grasping this opportunity, to feed you the appetizer that you've always hunted.
Is Tsubame serious? Yahiko thought. I don't want to be the reason for her skipping class.
"Yahiko?"
Damn it all. I've been waiting for this day so long. So, should I just let it slip through my fingers?

Some parts of the story should have had italics, especially where the characters are thinking. However, for some reason when I uploaded the chapter, some of it just didn't show up. I hope you guys could have told the difference though. I'm glad that those few of you who reviewed enjoyed the first chapter of my story. I hope you guys stay interested as we go more and more into the boys' eventful day. I look forward to reading your comments. Thanks in advance.
