Heads Up- hiyas...I recently changed the title of this story. But it is still the same one. It's still "That One Night" just with a different title and summary. But no worries 'cause the story hasn't changed.

ENJOY! (make sure you've read the above)

Chapter3: Health Project

Kaoru opened the door, letting Kagome and Kayko in first. They sat down in the middle of the classroom. Megumi walked over and sat beside Kaoru. "I saw your fight with Ken-san...you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Megumi looked at the chalkboard in the front of the classroom. The bell hadn't yet rung so students were still coming in. The ones that were already there were chatting. Suddenly the bell rung and everyone became silent, all focusing on the teacher.

"Alright everyone!We're going to have a little expirement. Since this is health class...it's going to be dealing with health. You will be partnering up with the opposite gender." Girls started laughing...all except Kikira and Kagome. They looked at each other in disapointment. A boy from the side of the room raised his hand.

"Ms. Kaide!"

"Yes?" He calmed down for a second. "Do they have to be in this class?" She thought to herself for a moment. "No...but they do have to have me as a health teacher." Kayko, Megumi, Kaoru, and Kagome looked at each other.

"One more thing class. Your partner isn't supposed to know you quite well." The class yelled with objection. Questions of why spread across the room.

"Settle down, settle down! They all looked at her. I make the rules here! Whether you like them or not, you got that!"

The class pouted. Ms. Kaide walked over to the chalkboard. "Your purpose would be to stay fit with them. You must exercise...eat right...and write a four page essay describing them and their health!"

The bell rung and students flew from their chairs to find a partner. The girls stepped out of the classroom door and into the hallway walking toward Kagome's locker. Kagome opens it and grabs what she needs for the next class. "I cannot beilieve Kaide! She used to be so nice"...Kaoru giggled. "Yeah...I just wonder who I'm gonna partner up with."

Megumi agreed and looked around the hallway. "Hey don't look now...it's the frightning four!" Kagome and Kaoru turned around. "What do you want now, Kenshin?" He looked at the health project she had written on the side of a peice of paper. "Hmm...I see you have that project too." Kaoru glanced at the paper and back at Kenshin.

"You have the "I don't know you project" too?" Sanosuke walked up beside Megumi. "So you wanna be my partner?" Kaoru Looked at Sanosuke. Megumi did the same. Megumi made a face. "Yeah, right! You think for a moment I would beileve you!" Sanosuke pretended to be hurt. "That's so mean of you to say...you hurt my feelings." He pretend to cry and started to laugh. Kayko and Yuuske shook their heads. Megumi punched him in the arm. "You JERK! DON'T PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS LIKE YOU DO WITH YOURSELF!"

Inuyasha started laughing too. "She TOLD you!" Sanosuke frowned. "I don't play with myself!"

Kenshin smiled. "You might aswell just partner up with Sano...I mean, it's not like anyone else would want you." Megumi gave a hurt look at Kenshin.

Kaoru went up to Kenshin and slapped him. Inuyasha and Yuuske were waiting for him to hit her back.

"HOW DARE YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO MEGUMI! SHE DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO YOUR SORRY SELF! THE NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO PICK ON SOMEONE, I SUGGEST YOU NOT LET IT BE ME, NOT MY FRIENDS! YOU BAKA!"

"C'mon girls...we have a class to go to!" Kagome, Kayko, and Megumi hesitated but went their seperate ways toward their next class. As did Kaoru. Kenshin still stand there holding his cheek. Inuyasha walks up beside him.

"Why didn't you hit her back, man!" Kenshin released his cheek. "I don't know...something held me back." Yuuske was confused. "Something held you back?"

"Yes."

"But why now? What reason would there be for you not hit her back?"

"I don't know..." They walked into their classroom. They all sat together near the window. Kenshin looked through it. What held me back? I should've hit her!

Kenshin looked toward the front of the classroom. Professor Hajime was explaining something on the chalk board. He spotted Kenshin staring out the window.

"BATTOUSAI!"(nickname- like in the Tv series) Kenshin jumps in surpise. "Would you like to tell the rest of the class what's been distracting you this entire time!" Kenshin shook his head. "I was just daydreaming, that's all!"

"Well daydream somewhere else, some other time! You got that battousai!"

"Yeah, I GOT IT!"

"Watch your mouth, boy!" Kenshin turned the other way, cursing him under his breathe.

The class was taking notes. Kaoru sat in the front row of the classroom. All she could think about was how ignorant Kenshin was earlier. Even though I got great pleasure out of slapping him...it wasn't nice or respectable for him to insult Megumi like that.

They took notes the entire period. When the bell rung ,she stood up and yawned. Misao walked over beside her. "Hi, Kaoru. Hey. How are you?"

"You mean...about the fight I had with Kenshin? Well... I'm fine, Misao. Thanks for asking." Misao looked around the classroom. "So, you get your male partner for the health project yet?" Kaoru shook her head. "You?"

"Yeah...Aoshi and I are gonna be partners." Kaoru started to giggle. "But you already know Aoshi, aren't you suppose to be with someone you don't know?"

"Yes, but I know everyone in this school...especialy the guys. So I just picked Aoshi." Kaoru thought to herself. "Oh...sure." Misao and Kaoru went their seperate ways.

I wonder if I was too hard on Kenshin. She wore a firm look. No way! He deserved it for what he said to Megumi! She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around.

"Oh, hi Sohjiro!" Sohjiro smiled. "Hi, there...Sorry if I sacred you."

"Oh, no...you didn't." Sohjiro looked at her worried. "You look alittle tense, you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"So...um...do you already have a partner for that health project?"

"Uh...no, do you?"

"Nope."

They stood there for a while until..."Would you like to be my partner?"

Kaoru blushed for a moment. "Sure!"

"Great, I'll check with you later on when we should start." Kaoru looked at his shirt. "Okay, cool." He walked away with a big smile on his face (as usual), and so did Kaoru. Kaoru knew that this project would be fun, though what she didn't know was that a pair of cold violet eyes were watching the entire time.
