It's always that one person
By: Rampaging Sorrow
Chapter One: Meeting him

Hello hello everybody in town! This is your wakeup call!

It's gonna snow today, but that doesn't mean we have to stay inside, do we?!

6:30 is the time and school kids are getting ready for school as we speak! So whoever is still sleeping, wake up and smell-

BANG BANG BANG!

Kaoru groaned as she opened one sleepy blue eye and looked at the clock screen. She then sighed before shutting her eyes and flipping over onto her stomach. Last night, one of her best friend's named Misao had a Birthday part at her brother's club Club Makimachi. She was there and they had gotten home around three. She didn't want to wake up now.

"Mmmm five more minutes weather man...."

Shinji Kamiya was up and walking the halls with Genia and Shuichi. They stopped at Kaoru's door and then Shuichi and Genia went downstairs to get water ready. Shinji went into Kaoru's room and he went to her with cold hands. He threw off her sheets and then he touched her stomach and squealed in excitement. Kaoru jumped up and then she looked at her father's smile.

"Wake up Kaoru."

"But daddy I'm tired!" she began to throw a fit.

"Shouldn't have been partying last night then."

"But it was one of the best parties of the year. Misao's birthday."

"Ah I see... Her brother does own Makimachi and she is full of energy and spunk."

"Yeah and now Aoshi goes with her."

"Honestly?" she nodded with a smile. It was all her doing anyway. She had set everything up. She gave her father a smile and then he sighed before exiting the room. She sighed before laying back down onto her bed and shutting her eyes and falling back to sleep. Shinji looked in the room before growling.

"Alright. She wants to play dirty." he ran down the hall to Aoshi's bedroom door and he jumped in.

"Aoshi wake up Aoshi wake up!" Aoshi groaned before opening his eyes and looking at how happy and childish his father looked. His father then showed the little pitcher that was behind his back and then Aoshi looked up at him before giving a smirk and jumping out of bed and going down the steps to get one. Shuichi and Genia gave him one and then they went up the steps with him with two others. Shinji told them to shush as Genia and Shuichi were giggling at how fun this was going to be. They opened her door and then Aoshi and Shinji went in and then they hovered over her. Kaoru felt something and then she opened one eye. She didn't have time to cover herself as they spilled the water all over her. Kaoru gasped and then she looked up at them laughing hard.

"Wake up call biatch!" Shinji laughed before they went out the room. Kaoru knew who they were going to next.

"TARA WAKE UP!" but it was too late for her as well and as Kaoru heard a scream, she got up and she grabbed a towel to go to the shower.

Kaoru walked down the steps in a pair of tight jeans, a graphic t-shirt, and a light blue long-sleeved button up to cover her arms. She went into the kitchen and then she sat down at the table. Genia was sitting there with Tara, just waiting for Shinji to finish breakfast. Shuichi had left early for his college classes. Aoshi was the last person to come down stairs and he had Yahiko on his shoulder. He sat down at the table as well and then he put Yahiko in his chair. Yahiko rubbed his eyes before waving at everybody.

"Aoshi why is he in baggy jeans and a long sleeved shirt?"

"Because he wanted to wear it today. So I just helped him out." Yahiko nodded happily before smiling brightly at Kaoru. Kaoru returned the smile before getting up and going to sit with him. Her hair was freely on her back, her ribbon tied around her neck.

"Genia where is your ribbon?" Genia put up her hand to show it and then they said 'oh' before breakfast was brought out. They all ate silently and Kaoru fed Yahiko.

"Open up Yahiko!" Yahiko opened his mouth with an 'Ah' and Kaoru put the cereal into his mouth. She smiled at him before finishing up her breakfast as she fed him. She put her plate in the sink and then she went and she put on her air forces. Shinji had an album in his hand and it was Kaoru's. He was just looking through all the pictures with Genia and Tara. Kaoru then put her book bag on her chair before picking up Yahiko and sitting him down before putting on his boots and showing him how to tie them again. She then took her shoe and she went step by step. He followed and soon he had them tied. He cheered before getting up and running to the TV.

"It's almost time to go." Kaoru sighed before she looked into the album with them. Yahiko jumped into her lap and looked on as well.

"It's sister! Kao is in this!" Shinji smiled.

"Yes she is because this is her album."

"What's that?" he said looking up.

"It's when you have a bunch of pictures in one big book." Aoshi looked at the clock on the wall and then Kaoru got up.

"Daddy can I take the benz?" the two asked at the same time and then they glared.

"Aoshi no fair! You have your car!"

"Nuh uh! My car is in the shop because of the crash that we had!"

"So?! I don't even have a car at the moment! You do!" Shinji sighed before shutting the book. Tara didn't have any say because she wasn't old enough to drive. She was underage

"Neither of you can take the benz because Genia is taking the benz." Genia smiled before taking the keys and swinging them around.

"But you two can take the other benz. Aoshi will drive. And wear slippers while in my car." Kaoru pouted and sat down.

"But you will get a car Kaoru. Okay? We'll go and get one tomorrow. Whichever one you want." Kaoru turned her head and looked at him.

"Really?" she got excited as he nodded.

"Oh thank you daddy! Thank you thank you thank you!" Aoshi got the keys before they hugged him and gave him kisses on the cheek. Shinji stopped Kaoru before whispering into her ear.

"No. Did she really call back?" Shinji nodded and then he snickered before flashing his wallet.

"I am gonna get my freak on tonight. So later on, I'll be leaving and I should be back by one in the morning." He then pulled out money and he put it in her wallet. She nodded before hugging him and then hugging Yahiko before running out the house to get in the car with Tara. Genia hugged him as well before pulling her book bag onto her back and kissing Yahiko's forehead and walking out the house. Shinji sighed before looking at Kaoru's book bag. He sighed to himself and then he saw Yahiko run over. He swooped him up and then he turned to the stairway.

"Let me go get dressed so we can give Kaoru her book bag." he nodded to him before putting his thumb in his mouth as they went up the steps.

Kaoru sighed as she and Aoshi were at her locker. Tara was on the other side of the school since she was still in the ninth grade. Kaoru looked up to see somebody jogging over to him. It was her friend Misao. Her teal eyes were cheerful as she came to a stop. She then looked at Kaoru with a smile.

"Hey Kaoru!"

"Hey Misao. Still opening gifts I bet."

"You know it." the two shared a laugh before she turned to Aoshi. She felt a blush creep up on her face.

"Hi Aoshi."

"Hey Misao." Aoshi hesitated before leaning over and giving her a hug and kissing her. Misao felt him pull away and then Kaoru made noise in the hallway, making her blush even more.

"Kaoru cut it out!" Kaoru laughed before shutting her locker. They had already missed homeroom, so they had to go to their first class which was Language Arts or as they knew it 'ELA'. Kaoru heard her name and she turned and she saw two more of her friends.

"Hey Megumi. Hey Sanosuke." the two sighed before they all began to walk to class. Aoshi kissed Misao's cheek before running down the hall to catch up to one of his friends, Sanosuke following behind. Misao sighed as they went into the room and they sat at their seats. She then gasped as it finally hit her.

"I left my book bag!" Misao and Megumi couldn't help but laugh. Kaoru sighed before running her fingers through her hair. She then pulled some hair behind her ear and watching the others pull out their work, ready to begin. The teacher looked at Kaoru just fiddling with her thumbs.

"Ms. Kamiya! Why are you just sitting there?!"

"I left my book bag at home."

"And why is that?"

"It was my fault." Kaoru looked down and then she saw her father with Yahiko.

"Daddy!" she got up and she ran down before hugging him tight.

"Oh thank you so much." she took the bag and then she picked up Yahiko. Yahiko shivered as he hugged Kaoru. He had on a baseball cap backwards and a fleece jacket on with some gloves. His cheeks were rosy. It was cold outside and it was starting to snow out there as well. Yahiko smiled brightly at her before pulling out her necklace.

"Your forgot it on the table. It's your good luck, remember sis?" they awwed at him.

"Yeah. My good luck. Thank you Yahiko." she let him down and then Shinji gave him a binkie. He put it in his mouth and he then looked up at Kaoru before he heard Shinji say 'bye.'

"Bwye Kaowu." he said. She kissed his forehead before he grabbed onto his father's hand. The two bowed in apology before they left the room. Kaoru went back up the steps to her seat and then she sat back down and she pulled out a notebook and a pen before writing the date. (A/N:It's like a college classroom. There are many layers.)

About fifteen minutes into the class, the door knocked and then the teacher clapped her hands together with a smile on her face.

"Our new students are here!" Kaoru looked up like the others and then they saw the door open and the teacher nod for them to come in. The first boy was a black haired boy with gray blue eyes. But that wasn't the one that caught Kaoru's eye. The second boy that came in did. He had long red hair into a ponytail and his eyes were purple. She saw him look up at her and then she looked away.

"Okay! These are our new students! Tell your names please." the first boy took a step forward before speaking.

"My name is Soujiro Seta Himura." he bowed before taking a step back. The second boy took a step up.

"My name is Kenshin Himura. He's my step brother." he just gave a slight wave before putting his hands back in his pocket and just looking on out the door. The teacher gave a smile.

"Now how old are you both?"

"Seventeen." the two said at the same time.

"Who's older?"

"I am. July 2nd." Kenshin said.

"My birthday is September 15th." Soujiro said with a smile.

"I see. Do you know you way around here?" Soujiro nodded. Kenshin shook his head.

"He didn't want to wake up on Saturday when they had decided to show us around."

"Oh well. Saturday is sleep day for me." Kenshin then looked back at Kaoru before he met her eyes again. Kaoru fell into a trans as she stared into his eyes.

"Kaoru stop staring!" Megumi whispered. Kaoru blinked before blushing.

"I wasn't staring."

"Face it. You like him. You probably want him." Kaoru gasped and glared at Megumi who began to laugh at her. She then turned and she looked back at the front.

"Alright? Who would like to show Kenshin around?" Kaoru jumped up and raised her hand. Kenshin gave a surprised smile to her and then Kaoru went down.

"Hi I'm Kaoru Kamiya."

"Kenshin Himura. Nice to meet you."

"Pleasure is all mine." they shook hands before Kaoru told him to set his book bag down. Soujiro went and took a seat in front of Kaoru's seat as the two left, a soft smirk on his face.

Kaoru laughed at a joke that Kenshin had told her. She then put a hand over her mouth and looked up into his eyes. They were becoming good friends already. Kenshin smirked at her before they reached Kaoru's locker. She opened it and then she pulled out white shirt and a little towel. She changed her two shirts so she was in a wife beater. She folded them and then she carried them around with her. Kenshin took off his shirt as well. It was getting hot in the hallways. Kaoru pulled her hair into a ponytail before they heard a 'HEY! GET OVER HERE NOW!' Kenshin and Kaoru turned to see two security guards yelling at them.

"Shit! Run!" they began to run.

"Hey! Son of a bitch-get back here!"

Kenshin felt Kaoru pull onto his hand and lead him into the stairway of the school. They went behind it and hid. Security ran by cursing and then they burst out laughing.

"Wow. You know a lot about this school Kaoru."

"It's because I've did this so many times. Let's go before they catch us." they got out and then they began to walk.

"HEY! GET THE HELL BACK HERE NOW!"

"Damn!"

"Come on Kenshin!"

Kenshin and Kaoru were panting by the time they had got back to the hallway. Kaoru dried off and then gave him the towel before putting back on her regular clothes. Kenshin did the same and then they went back into the room. Kenshin picked up his things.

"Did she show you around?" Kenshin nodded.

"All over the place." Kaoru giggled before pulling the ribbon out and the rubber band.

"Now where to put you?" Kaoru looked up and then she got an idea. She was gonna get payback for Megumi

"Oh teacher can Megumi move over a seat? She's been disturbing me lately and I can't seem to work well. She's such a distraction to me." Megumi gasped and then the teacher nodded.

"Since it's like that, then Megumi Takani move over a seat." Megumi glared at her before she moved over a seat.

"Alright. Now Kenshin sit in her old seat since you two are such good friends. Am I wrong?"

"No ma'am." Kaoru smiled at him before they went up the steps to her seat.

"Hi. I'm Misao Makimachi."

"Kenshin Himura. Nice to meet you." they shook and Misao smiled at him. He returned it. Kaoru then gave Megumi a smirk. She sat down and then she let Kenshin sit. He pulled out a notebook and he pulled out a pen as well with a soft part for him to hold.

"I always use these. Their the best and they don't hurt my hand."

"I know. Their so good to use." Kaoru then saw the assignment and she opened her book.

"Turn to page 156." Kenshin didn't have a book. Megumi offered to share, but he declined as Kaoru put a book in between them. Megumi glared at Kaoru's smile. Kenshin then read the assignment and he was lost.

"Kaoru explain this to me." Kaoru read the question twice before nodding to herself and explaining it.

"They want you to write about one thing that had an effect on your life, that changed it, and what way did it change it."

"Oh... thanks." Kenshin squinted before going into his book bag pocket and taking out a glasses case. He put on a pair of glasses before turning and looking at Kaoru. She had on glasses as well. The two shared a laugh before going back to working. Kenshin began to write. Kaoru liked his hand writing. The cursive was neat, like hers. The two wrote fast before shutting the book.

"Kenshin what did you write about?"

"My mother."

"Isn't that funny? I did too. What happened to your mother that changed you. I don't mean to be rude."

"No it's alright. My mother died eight years ago because of an illness that she had." Kaoru nodded.

"I'm sorry if I brought up anything sad."

"No it's fine. I'm okay about it now. I just had to take time to let it go. What about your mother Kaoru?" Kaoru shifted before speaking.

"My mother died when I was four years old and she had a sickness too. She died while holding me and it was snowing on a day like this when we were both sleeping. I guess she just didn't wake up with me that time..."

"Wow... I'm sorry about that Kaoru. It must have been hard for you, with the way she died and everything."

"It honestly was and it still is. I had to go to therapy and counseling and all that stuff and I didn't go outside for about two years and play with the other kids. I... just wanted to be alone because I had to feel her warmth go away from her body and just leave me with coldness. It just freaked me out so badly.. but I'm starting to adjust to the fact that it wasn't my fault. And I hate when people feel sorry for me, so don't. Kay?" he nodded.

"I wasn't going to. I don't want anybody feeling sorry for me either." Kaoru smiled at him before she saw the teacher exit the room for a brief moment. Kenshin pulled out an MP3 player and then he slipped an ear in and offered one to Kaoru. She took it and then she moved closer. She knew this song by heart. It was one of her mother's songs. 'COLORS'

"My mother made this song."

"Your mother is Annalise?" she nodded.

"Wow. I am such a fan of her music. It's so... true. Full of the truth about love, hate, life, sorrow, anger, suicidal, all of it. She is a true person."

"Wow. You like it that much too?" Kenshin nodded before starting it over. The two began to sing aloud to it. The teacher was out in the hallway talking to somebody.

"MIRAA ga utsushidasu maboroshi o

doko e itte mo iito ii wareru to

ima wa makka ni sasou tougyuushi no you ni." Kenshin smiled at her before giving her the other ear and going into his bag to look for his keys. He heard Kaoru singing the rest and everybody began to turn and listen. Her voice was like her mother's. Soft and sweet.

"KARAA mo iroaseru keikoutou no moto

She then sighed before she heard clapping. She widened her eyes and then she gave an embarassed smile.

"Wow Kaoru. You... you sound just like her." Kenshin then smiled before going through his whole playlist.

The bell rang and then he passed their work up. Soujiro had waited for them by the door. Kaoru packed up.

"Kenshin how did you get all her music? I don't even have all of if. Some of the tracks you have are forbidden on the market because of my father."

"Well I had to do a lot of searching and fighting, but I am proud to say that I have them all on CDs and Computer and MP3. Want it?" she nodded.

"It's in my car though. Here." he passed her his coat and then she slipped it on. Soujiro tapped his foot.

"We're going to the car. Coming Soujiro?" he nodded and then they went out into the hallway. Kenshin took her hand before giving her a smile and then leading her through the hallway. Kaoru held onto his hand as he led her through the hallway. She soon was close to Misao's locker. She heard her jumping and calling her over. Kaoru just looked over with her light blue eyes before turning back and following Kenshin and Soujiro. Misao was shocked and hurt. She hmphed.

"Rude much!" they nodded. Two more girls came over.

"Hey guys... why did Kaoru just pass by us?"

"Honestly Mikey and Lan, I don't know. But I'm pissed off." Misao said.

"That's not like her. She would usually come over." Misao was really hurt by her actions and now she was upset. Aoshi just gave her a hug before they went to their next class.

Kaoru walked with the two to class, the music now stored in her MP3 player. She thanked Kenshin three times before hugging him. The snow was getting higher. She shivered and then they stopped as she pulled her hair up into a high ponytail, her trademark hair style. She shook her head before they began walking again. They went to the door and then they knocked. Kaoru gave an apologetic smile to the teacher and explained what happened. Soujiro held up his pens and then the teacher nodded. It was History class. Kaoru passed her usual table and she sat with. Misao and the others glared at her and she knew they were upset. Kaoru then went back up to the front and she looked at Kenshin and Soujiro just standing there.

"Come on." Kaoru took Kenshin's hand and then she saw Soujiro stick his hands in his pockets.

"Scared of me Jiro?"

"Nah. I just hate to walk around like that in a classroom. But i'll follow." Kaoru then nodded and she turned and walked them down to go sit at a table of three in the back. Kaoru then ran her fingers through her hair and she went into her book bag. Kenshin put up bunny ears behind her head and she hit his shoulder as he and his brother laughed.

"Yo read this joke." Kaoru saw him pull out a sheet of paper and she and Soujiro went over and Kenshin began to read the paper aloud.

"I knew a person who was so stupid, she called my house just to get my number." Kaoru and Soujiro giggled.

"She thought Meow Mix was a CD for cats." they giggled louder. Kaoru put a hand to her mouth.

"She got a refund from the dollar store." Kaoru and Soujiro let out a laugh. Kenshin was cracking as well as he read it to them.

"She got locked in a grocery store and she starved to death!" they all began to laugh. Kaoru put her head in her arms and she let out her laughter while Kenshin put his face in his hands. Soujiro just held his stomach as they kept on reading them.

"She studied for a blood test and she failed, she thought a quarterback was a refund, and on her application when it said sex she wrote 'Every other day.' Nasty hoes!" They laughed again before the teacher caught their attention. He then began to give work out on what class projects they were going to do. Since they were only three, he went and he worked with them.

"Hi. I'm Johnathan Summers."

"Kenshin Himura." they shook hands.

"Soujiro Seta Himura." he shook his hand as well before they got started. He didn't give out important answers, he just helped them guess it. Then he got up and he went around to help other students. Kenshin got up and he went to a bookshelf. Then he pointed to it with a question look on his face. He saw Kaoru nod and then he bent down and looked in the shelf. Sanosuke went over and he looked at Kenshin as he was pulling out books and then pushing them back in. Sano already got his books for the group.

"Watch your back new boy. Your gonna get in trouble here fast if you keep messing with Kaoru. Got that?"

"Is that a threat?" Kenshin looked up at him.

"No threat. A promise." and with that Sanosuke went back to his group. Kenshin rolled his eyes before pulling out three books and going back. He walked past Sano's group, giving a glare to Sanosuke. Sanosuke returned it before Kenshin turned and gave a smile as he sat. Kaoru got up and she went and got the last book. Soujiro leaned over to Kenshin as she was up there searching.

"What happened Kenshin? I saw that little anger in your eyes."

"That Sanosuke kid from ELA. He just threatened me saying I was gonna get hurt if I kept talking to Kaoru and some bullshit like that." Soujiro nodded as Kenshin leaned forward in his seat.

"Which one is Sanosuke?" Kenshin turned Soujiro's face a little and he saw him. The two brothers gave a look to him. It was more of a bored look then an angry look. Then they looked back at each other before giving hi one more look. Kaoru sat down and Soujiro sat up.

"Well. Let's begin our work." they began to work and laugh and have fun. Mr. Summers liked their chemistry and he had ignored the other groups and he went back and he sat down before working with them. He got a few good laughs in as well. Kenshin had to write the conclusion. As soon as he was finished, Soujiro grabbed all the books and he put them away. Sano had went up to put the books away. Soujiro just gave him a look in the corner of his eye before getting up and going to sit down. Soujiro then saw Kaoru lean over and he did the same so he was facing her.

"What's wrong you two? Your acting so different now."

"It's that Sanosuke guy."

"Did he say something?" Kaoru looked over at him like the two brothers with the same look.

"He just kept on giving me death glares. That's all."

"Ignore him. He's just jealous because he can't talk with you." Kenshin nodded before they just turned away and began to put their together and then they went to the computer to type it up. Kenshin did all the typing because he was a fast typer. Kaoru had her hand on his shoulder as he typed.

"Wow. You type pretty fast." Kenshin smiled a smile of thanks before finishing it up and printing it out. They handed it up and then they began to pack up because the bell was going to ring soon. Kenshin put his book bag on his back and then he and Soujiro played a game of monkey in the middle with Kaoru's pen. She laughed with them and then she hugged Kenshin before taking the pen away from him. Kenshin smiled at her before she pulled away and hit him playfully. The bell rang and then they decided to help put the desks back to normal. After they were done, Kenshin took her hand again and Soujiro smiled at her confused look.

"Kenshin knows how to get through the crowd the easiest way." Kaoru nodded and then she smiled as they walked to their next class. Kaoru heard Megumi calling her and Kenshin stopped.

"I don't want to go to them. Their just gonna put me on blast." Kaoru whispered into his ear. Kenshin nodded before moving once more. Aoshi called out to her as well, but she ignored it and kept on following, now standing by his side.

"See?! Look she just did it again! That's strike three because she didn't even sit with us in History! That's not cool at all."

Kenshin looked at the room that was his next class. Dance class. He sighed and then he looked over at Soujiro who had an annoyed look.

"Problem?"

"I hate to dance for people. I'd rather dance for myself."

"I see." Kenshin sighed before taking off his shirt and keeping on his wife beater. Kaoru whistled over at him.

"Sexy!" she then laughed at his slight blush before she went over in her wife beater. She then saw Soujiro grunt.

"You don't have to if you don't want to. You guys are new kids." Soujiro went and he sat in a seat. Kenshin and Kaoru went and they sat next to him. Kenshin saw Kaoru take her hair out before pulling it into a midway ponytail. She then grabbed her comb and combed it so that her ends had curled up once more. She put it on her shoulder. Kenshin ran his fingers through it.

"It's soft. And thick."

"Thanks. My mother had this type of hair. Thick and soft." Kenshin then let go and just began to swish it. He told Soujiro to come over.

"Why?"

"Just come here Soujiro." Soujiro sighed before going over.

"What?"

"Swoosh!" he hit him in the face with Kaoru's hair and Soujiro coughed because he had held his breath. Kaoru laughed and then Kenshin let go and Kaoru took his hair and hit him in his face with a 'swoosh.' Kenshin laughed before the class started. Kaoru got up and she went to the center.

"And who are you two new cuties?" the teacher asked. Kenshin smirked and Soujiro smiled.

"Kenshin Himura."

"Soujiro Seta Himura." then Kaoru sighed and put her hands on her hips before tilting to the side.

"So Kaoru, do you want to test out these new boys?"

"Sure. Soujiro?"

"No thank you. I don't like to dance on demand." he gave her a charming smile before Kenshin got up and rolled his arm around.

"I'll do it. I heard that you can dance good." he then went over.

"So what are we doing? Moves, Style, dancing to the beat-"

"Grinding." Kaoru said with a slick smile. Kenshin looked at her funny.

"Grinding, now? Wow. Schools have really went out and brought everything. But i'll do it." Kenshin saw Kaoru get ready before she put on the music.

"Handle her Kenshin!"

"Kaoru show him what's what!" Kaoru went over and she wasted no time.

"Ooo a fast one, huh?" Kaoru nodded and then he began to grind against her. She was shocked at how good he was. He matched all her movements. They dipped, went slow, went fast, paused, and then kept going once more. Kaoru turned to face him and he put an arm around her waist and held her other hand gently. The two gave a soft smirk before the song ended and they pulled apart. Their classmates applauded them. The two bowed before the teacher began to go into the hallways and bring different people in for their daily party. Once she had over fifty people, she just turned on the stereo and put a CD in. She even had a teacher in there to dance with. Kaoru loved the song so she went to Kenshin and began to grind against him. Kenshin called over Soujiro and he pulled off his shirt and he went over.

"Ever been sandwiched before?" he asked in her ear. She shook her head and then Soujiro began to grind from the front. She widened her eyes and then looked at Soujiro's smirk. Kenshin went to her ear again.

"Don't worry. This is a lot of fun. Especially at parties. Trust me."

"I just haven't tried this before. I do everything else but they said 'being sandwiched' is bad."

"Their just nervous about it. It's fun once you do it. Isn't it fun?" she nodded and then the song ended and Soujiro took over while Kenshin just leaned back. Kaoru liked the way Soujiro danced. It was... different and yet it was fun. Kenshin got back up and took over his spot.

"Wow. You guys can really dance."

"What can we say? We're never home." the three shared a laugh before just dancing the rest of the period.

In the hallway, Kaoru was waiting for Kenshin to go to his car. They were going to get subs for lunch. Kenshin came out of the bathroom with Soujiro and then Kaoru linked her arms in theirs. They smiled at her as she gave a bright smile and then they walked down the hall. Kaoru knew how much they were mad at her, but she had to let Aoshi know she was leaving or she would be in trouble. She saw them all by her locker and she went over with Soujiro and Kenshin at the end of the hall, waiting. They had their coats and hats on. Kaoru said 'excuse me' and she opened her locker and got her jacket and her gloves. She put them on before shutting it. They ignored her completely and just talked.

"Aoshi i'll be right back. I'm gonna show the new kids where the best sub place is. Kay?"

"Be back in twenty minutes. Alright?" she nodded before turning on her heels and giving a thumbs up before jogging down the hall. They watched her in the corners of their eyes. She pulled out her ponytail and placed her hat on before linking her arms in theirs again before they went out the door. Then Misao spoke.

"That's cold and dirty. I don't care if their new kids or not. She's just brushing us off."

"I know. But oh well. Kaoru will just find out the hard way later. Let's go to lunch." they walked off. Misao and AOshi held hands going through the hall.

Kenshin laughed as Kaoru held onto her milkshake tightly and pulled away from Soujiro's gripping hands. He turned back into the parking lot and then he turned the car around and reversed it into a spot. They got out and Kaoru looked up at the snow falling. She stuck her tongue out and then she caught some snow. Soujiro and Kenshin soon followed and then they shared a laugh. Kenshin gave her a hug and Soujiro got the other side before the saw somebody walking by. Soujiro pulled out a camera before asking him to take it. He nodded and then he went back and hugged her again with Kenshin before he took the picture and gave it back.

"Thanks." Soujiro bowed in thanks before the person walked off. They then walked back up the steps to the school and they went in. Kaoru kicked her feet like the others and they shook a little before walking. Kaoru began to sing a song that she had made up.

"I see you holding me closely

Kissing me sweetly

Loving me in the dark

And I feel you

Touching me softly

Whispering all of your words...to me." Kenshin liked the song that she was singing.

"Come sit with me at my table." Kenshin nodded before the two followed her into the lunchroom. She told them to wait before she went over. Then she felt mad and hurt. They had asked a few people to come over and sit with them, just so the table would be filled. She balled her hands into fists tight.

"That's wrong you guys. Doing this just because I'm spending time with the new kids!"

"Nobody told you that you had to go out of your way just do make them feel welcome!"

"That's now what I'm doing! Their not bad people at all! And I'm not going out of my way to do it! Their just like me! Their not different from us, they just got here! You guys are just..." Kaoru growled before sighing and catching herself.

"Know what? Fuck it. Keep them at the table from now on because I'm going out for lunch from now on. Good fucking bye."

"Kaoru wait-" Aoshi got up to stop her, but she turned on her heels and walked back to the door. Sanosuke looked on as he saw Kaoru talking to Kenshin and then he saw her wipe her eyes. He felt a little bit bad, but the feeling soon washed over him as he saw Kenshin give her a hug and rub her back. It made him mad. Kaoru let go and they walked towards the door that led to the outside and close to the parking lot. Kenshin felt eyes on him and he looked to see a table of guys wearing all black and white, just glaring at him evilly. Kenshin ignored it before he opened the door and let Soujiro walk out first since Kaoru told him to. Kaoru looked back at her old table before turning and going out. Kenshin followed and then the trio went and sat down back in the car, eating their lunch. When they were done, Kaoru saw an friend passing by that she hadn't seen since two days.

"Katyli!(A/N: Pronounced Kay-ti-lee). Katyli it's me Kaoru!" the black haired girl looked over and then she ran to them before hugging Kaoru. The two bounced before she let go.

"I thought you didn't come to school for the next two days!"

"I did! But I just didn't see you!" they shared a laugh before she turned to the other two.

"Hi. I'm Katyli Summers. My father is the history teacher here."

"Ah. I see it. You guys have the same smile. I'm Kenshin Himura."

"And I'm Soujiro Seta Himura." they shook her hand before Kaoru looked back at her.

"Where is your father?"

"He's in his room grading some projects that you guys did I think."

"Oh. You gonna go and chill with him?" she nodded. "I gotta go. He's waiting for me. Bye Kaoru." she gave her a hug.

"Oh and nice meeting you two. I hope we can become friends." they smiled and shook hands again before she turned and she ran off to the building.

"She seems nice."

"She is." Kaoru laughed as she hid behind a tree and she saw a snowball going right past her. Lunch wasn't done yet, so they were just playing a game of snowball.

"How do you make them so stiff?!" she yelled before throwing one.

"Gotta spit on it sometimes! The liquid freezes fast in cold weather so it joins it together!" Kenshin threw another one and she ducked before running to them and jumping on them. They laughed. Kenshin then looked down at himself.

"Now I'm all wet. Thank god I brought extra clothes." Kaoru nodded with Soujiro before they got up and decided to head back in. Kenshin put his arms around her neck gently and rested his chin on her shoulder as they walked. Soujiro ran up in the front before taking a nice photo. Then they went to the door and Kaoru looked around before pulling out a key.

"Ooooo you stole it oooooo." Kenshin and Soujiro smirked.

"Sssssh. I did it for... reasons." the two then said 'oooo' again before laughing. She opened it and then they went in. Kaoru shook the snow off and then Kenshin dusted off her back before he did the same for his brother. He put his arms back around her neck before they began to walk out the lunchroom. Sanosuke and Aoshi growled at the sight.

"I don't like the way he's on her." Aoshi nodded before they heard the bell rang. Kenshin told Kaoru and Soujiro to go on ahead and that he would catch up later. He went back to his car and then he grabbed his book bag, Kaoru's and Soujiro's. He then sighed before going back up to the building and sighing once more.

"I think today might be a good day."

Kenshin growled as he walked through the halls.

"Me and my big mouth."

His shirt was tore, his pants had a scrape, and he had purple marks all over his arms and legs. He had gotten jumped by the same guys in black and white from the lunchroom. They had put their hands over his mouth and then dragged him into one of the stairwells where they just began to hit him with any kind of object and their fists and feet. He had a busted lip and a bruised shoulder. He then went to his class and he opened the door and went in. Kaoru was standing at the desk with Soujiro and then they gasped before running to him. He dropped their bags before falling over. They caught him in time.

"Kenshin what happened to you?" Kenshin didn't answer. He just groaned before he asked to be set down on the floor.

"You sure?"

"Yeah. Let me just.. catch myself. I'm zoning out." he let himself relax before they asked what happened again. "I got jumped by some gang in black and white. I had went.. for the book bags and then they just put their hands over my mouth and gave me a blow to the stomach before dragging me into some stairwell. Behind it. And they just hit me with a bat, I felt a pole, and the usual fists and feet." Kaoru then thought about what he had said.

"You said black and white?" Kenshin nodded and looked up, blood going down his forehead.

"You know something about this, don't you?" she nodded before standing up.

"Sanosuke why did they jump him?" Kenshin got mad as soon as she said it and he got up. Soujiro held him back.

"You had me jumped?! For what, man?! What you said earlier?!" Kaoru turned to him.

"Kenshin what did he say."

"He said that I'd better not mess with you or he was gonna hurt me. Is this over that?!"

"I didn't have you jumped! Why would I just sick them on you?! That's not me!"

"Sanosuke then how did they go and attack him without word or anything!" Kaoru looked him into his eyes, obviously upset.

"I don't know! I didn't do it!" Kenshin looked in the hallway before he saw one of them standing there and taunting him.

"Oh you wanna make jokes?!" Kenshin broke out of Soujiro's hold and he grabbed a bat.

"Let's make a joke now son! Let's make a joke on baseball! How many times can I get a home run?!"

"Come out here and maybe we'll count it!" he went out into the hallway before dropping the bat and just punching him right in his stomach. Everybody began to turn and look as the new kid just went rabid. They were just going at it with fists. Kenshin punched him into some locker and then he saw him take out a weapon. He grabbed his bat before swinging at him and hitting him with it in the back. He dropped before Kenshin kept on hitting him. Soujiro pulled him back into the room.

"Let's count how many I got now!" Soujiro held him in the corner and Kaoru went over before talking low to him.

"Soujiro let me go.... I said let me go." he was calm with it, but you could tell he was raged.

"Kenshin look at me." Kenshin looked at Kaoru. She blinked at his eye color. It was gold now.

"Don't get suspended just yet."

"Kaoru they jumped me! I know somebody stabbed me with a pen in my leg too!"

"I understand that. But don't get in trouble just yet. For me." Kenshin saw her concerned look and then he nodded before they let him go. The dude was still talking trash. Kenshin saw security as he was about to go out there and finish the job.

"Watch new kid! I'm gonna bust your head open!"

"Their ain't nothin but space son!" Kenshin took off his chain and then his shirts. He was now bare chested.

"Try to stab me now son!" the security officer shut the door and Kenshin went to it and began to bang on it. The guy was still making faces and gestures at the door. Kenshin took both hands and he bust the glass before choking him. Some of the students screamed in adrenalin and fear. The security guard pulled him off and pushed him up against the wall.

"Get the fuck off me!" He didn't move away from him.

"Yo. Let me the fuck go." After a minute, Kenshin pushed him aside before wiping his lip and his forehead. A nurse was on her way down the hall.

"I'm calling Tommy. This shit ain't goin' down like that. Didn't before, won't start now." he heard him still making noise in the hallway.

"You think you hood?! You think you hood?!" Kenshin went to the door.

"You ain't hood fake ass boogie boy! I was born and raised in the hood! Taran Street for live motherfucker! You can't stop us!"

"Taran street... damn. That's one gangsta street." Sanosuke said to Aoshi who nodded before they looked back at Kenshin.

"Taran street can't be stopped! We're the best! Number one! So keep poppin' lip about your fake ass school gang! I'm gonna show you what a real gang is all about!"

"I've been to juvy pussy I ain't scared for nothin!" "Juvy is a motherfuckin joke son! Let's talk about Enrike Facility! Two months biatch!" he then saw him being pulled away and he took his tore shirt and he wiped his forehead and his lip. He then looked into the window.

"Fuck man I just got my bandages took off! Shit!" he saw the nurse and he told her to back off for a minute.

"I don't mean to be rude ma'am. Just.. wait one minute. I promise i'll let you tend to me." Kenshin pulled out his phone before dialing a number.

"Give me the phone young man."

"Get the fuck out of my face man. I'm not in the mood for you either. You can have it when I'm done." Kenshin heard his homeboy's voice pick up. He put it on speaker phone and the class got silent.

"Yo Tommy it's me Kenshin." "

Sup reddy? How's the rich life treatin'' ya? Can't come to visit a black man? I see how you are. You just call me when you need somethin'."

"Homie please. I was chillin' with you and the crew two days ago. But anyway. I just got jumped son son."

"Who the fuck jumped you son?!" Soujiro went over as Kenshin spoke up.

"Some crew at this school. The kids wear black and white. They outnumbered me about twenty-one to one. They just dragged me and bat beat me like a bitch."

"Oh word? Black and white you say... I know who u talkin bout. Their the Exustins gang. Motherfuckers are just some damn joke. Their new to the world and we just dealt with them idiots yesterday here on school grounds. And how did you know I was skipping right now anyway?"

"I use to skip with you. And besides. It's after one. I should know man." he heard him laugh.

"Can you come down here after school? I think their coming for me and Soujiro this time."

"Now why would they do that? Don't tell me your startin' trouble already. And where is Smiley anyway?"

"Right here. Tommy. Their coming for us because there's this girl named Kaoru Kamiya. She's precious to them."

"I see... well we'll be up there by 2:50 homies. I gotta get back to class. Substitute is looking fine as hell today... OH wait! But what does Kaoru look like? I want to be fighting for a good reason." Kenshin whistled to himself.

"Tommy Kaoru is fine as hell!" Kaoru felt a blush come up and Aoshi was getting mad with Sanosuke and the other four girls.

"She had these beautiful light blue eyes that turn navy and when I look into her eyes, i just feel so happy."

"Tell me more about her son son." Kenshin kept on talking.

"She has this raven hair that goes down to the middle of her back and it's so thick and so soft and she has this ribbon in her hair that matches her eyes. She has the curves of a sexy ass spanish chick and she's good in the front, back, side and other side. She has this style too that's just off the chain and trust me, I will do anything for her."

"Oh word? Then let me come and holla at her then! You owe me anyhow."

"Sorry I'm taken." Kaoru said putting her arms around his shoulder and resting her chin on his shoulder as he sat down. "Oh really now? And this is Kaoru I presume?"

"Uh huh. Kaoru Kamiya."

"Oh. Well you sound sexy too. And who are you taken by?"

"Kenshin of course. And thanks for the compliment." Tommy cursed.

"Kenshin we're gonna talk on how you can do that so fast. I wanna learn because Shaneka got back from the Dominican and she is looking fine."

"Okay."

"I hope i'll be able to meet you Ms. Kaoru. After the fight I presume?"

"Sure. Any friend of Kenshin's is a friend of mine I guess. Right?" Kenshin nodded.

"Yeah."

"Gotta go. I'm gonna get substitute's phone number. Peace out."

"Peace." Kenshin hung it up and Kaoru let go. The nurse came over before she and Kaoru began to help treat his cuts. Kenshin put ice on his shoulder and strapped it on and then he put an icy-hot around his stomach. Kaoru then fixed it before he thanked her and then the security guard took Kenshin out. Kaoru then went back to Sanosuke.

"Sanosuke your wrong. You're wrong and evil."

"But I didn't do it!"

"Then who would just sick them onto him like that! You know all of them personally and they respect you and do your bidding anyway!"

"I know! But I didn't do it! Why don't you believe me!"

"Because you've been giving him all these death looks since History class! And that's not right at all! It's evil! Their not trying to cause any trouble at all! Their just trying to make friends around here!" Sanosuke growled.

"What your gonna hit me? You wanna smack some sense into me? Huh? Wanna make me think? Because I refuse to do any goddamn thing you tell me to do." "

Kaoru don't talk to Sanosuke like that." She looked over at Megumi.

"No! I'll talk to him whatever way I want! Sanosuke needs to be lectured on this! He can't just try and do that to everybody he thinks that is going to hurt me!"

"You act like he's doing it for himself! He's doing it for you! Everything he does is to protect you dummy!" Misao and Megumi yelled out. Sanosuke and Aoshi nodded. Kaoru got heated. Soujiro pulled up a chair next to the one that Kenshin was sitting in and then he sat down. Kenshin walked back in and stopped at the door at Kaoru's bark.

"I don't need anybody to do anything to protect me! Why the fuck must I say that over and over and over again! I have been looking out for myself for the longest and I don't need any help! Why do you want to help me, because my mom passed away and it hurts?! I can do things myself! I can do everything myself! Don't help me because I'm down! I didn't need it before and I sure as hell don't need it now! So don't treat me like some sick case because I witnessed the damn thing! Because it doesn't work on me! Don't just feel bad and then be a friend because you feel bad! Don't! Because shit like that makes me feel so helpless!"

Kenshin went over and he sat her down and let her cry. She pulled out her ribbon and her rubber band before throwing it aside. Soujiro rubbed her shoulders as Kenshin knelt down in front of her and spoke softly to her.

"(sniff) No I don't want that. But I don't want any protecting to me unless I ask for it. Mommy told me don't let people protect you and make you feel weak and helpless. And I don't want that because it makes you feel like their superior and all your good for is just hanging around." Kenshin rested his hand on her knee and rubbed her knee before sighing and telling her to look at him. He saw her light blue eyes a navy blue of sadness. It made his gold eyes turn purple. She sniffed before wiping her eyes and looking at him.

"Just... do what you have to do. Just be the person you are and make sure that nobody brings you down. And keep that smile. It makes me feel better." Kaoru sniffed before giving him a smile. He smiled back.

"That's the smile I want. And just say back off and tell them that you'll handle it. Otherwise, you pull away and think for a while before going to that person and talking to them person to person. Understand?" She nodded before Kenshin gave her a reassuring smile before wiping her tears with his finger. Kaoru put her face in her arms before Soujiro backed away. They let Kaoru stop her tears before she got up and she grabbed her ribbon and her rubber band. She went to her book bag and she picked it up before wiping her face and pulling out Kenshin's clothes. He thanked her before pulling on the white beater and the shirt. She turned away as he put on his pants and then he placed back on his shoes. Kaoru put the book bag on her back before she went to the back of the room and she sat down. She knew her friends and her brother was upset. Kenshin and Soujiro went to the back of the room as well and they saw Soujiro taking notes and then the teacher sighed before starting the lesson. Kenshin and Kaoru were turned and faced each other before they began to just chit chat silently and talk. Kenshin took her hands and then he gave her a smile. Kaoru kissed his forehead. He then looked around before kissing her forehead. Then she kissed the scratch on his cheek and he copied her. Soujiro said 'oooooo'. Kaoru gave him a smirk before she touched his lip. He winced all little in pain. Kaoru then smiled before she gave him a soft fast kiss. He looked at her and then he returned the favor.

"Aw so sweet." Soujiro said softly to them before they sat up and went to doing the work.

Kenshin, Kaoru, and Soujiro were walking through the halls when Aoshi called Kaoru. She didn't answer him at all. He called her name again, louder this time. But she just took Kenshin's hand and led him to their next class. Computer class. They sat down before Aoshi and the others came in. Aoshi went to Kaoru before pulling her up.

"You. Me. Outside. Right now."

"For what?"

"I want to talk to you. NOW." Kaoru heard his sterness and she then just went outside. Kenshin and Soujiro looked at each other before shuddering violently.

"Whoo she is something else. Different from all the other girls we knew, isn't she?" Soujiro nodded.

"Better keep that girl in mind Kenshin."

"She's the only girl on my mind." Kenshin admitted before they saw Kaoru come in mad. She sat down in her seat and then she growled. Aoshi told her to watch her attitude.

"Leave me alone." she barked at him. Aoshi told her something else in a different language before she hmphed and she pulled her hair back up into a high ponytail. Kenshin asked what was wrong.

"Nothing." she said harshly. Kenshin was kinda taken aback and she saw his hurtful look.

"I'm sorry Kenshin. I'll tell you in a minute." he nodded before they began to do what the man told them to do. Soon thheyad free time and Kenshin loked at her instant message screen name. He put it in before telling her 'hello sexy' Kaoru turned to him and gave him a smile before writing back. They just had a conversation as Soujiro was checking his mail. They were telling each other romantic things. Kenshin beat her with his last one.

You are the most beautiful creature on this planet. Your personality and your actions towards things drive me wild. When I look into your eyes, I just want to stay there and stare in them forever because they are so beautiful. You are truly beautiful and if anybody ever said otherwise, then they are blind to beauty. Kaoru blushed and then she turned to Kenshin who had a smile. They logged out before the bell rang. Then Soujiro got up and they all left the room. They walked to gym fast and then Kaoru went to the girls locker room before she put on a short sleeved shirt, a long sleeved shirt, a pair of exercise tights and some sweat pants. She put on her gym shoes before going into the mirror close to the water fountain and pulling her hair up into a high ponytail again that was more tight. She saw her friends coming and she walked out before they could call her. She saw Kenshin and Soujiro there just talking. They had the same kind of clothes on except it was baggy. Kaoru went over and then she saw Katyli run over to them. The four began to talk before Katyli had to go. Her gym period had just passed.

"I'll talk to you after school. Are you gonna stay behind?"

"Yeah! There's that fight with Exustins and Taran street! I wanna see it as much as any other person does. Gotta go." she hugged them and then she gave Soujiro a long hug and a kiss on the cheek before running off.

"I think she likes you." Soujiro just gave a lovesick puppy smile before they began to laugh.

"Kaoru!" Kaoru looked up to see Kenshin kick the ball over to her. She ran stopped and then switched directions, making the other person just fall in the snow. She then jumped and she did a summersault kick. It went in the net. She sat on her knees and Soujiro and Kenshin went over to her since they were on her team and they helped her up before cheering with her. Soujiro was put in again and then Kenshin dusted Kaoru off before they walked away. Aoshi noticed them leave and Sanosuke held him back.

"Just leave it."

Kaoru and Kenshin were just wandering around and talking. To people who passed by, they though that they were a little couple.

"The thing is that our sister is one of the most popular girls in her college. Her and her friend Genia."

"Genia Kamiya?"

"Yeah... that your sister right?" Kaoru nodded.

"Oh. Well she's just so happy. It's like our mother didn't actually die, she just simply went away for a long time. And she's so positive. And I look up to my sister like she's a hero."

"How come?" They turned and then they went in the other direction as the snow turned. Kenshin hid his hair in his shirt.

"Because she is always giving me and my step brother advice. She's just so positive and it makes us so happy. And the thing about it is that me and Soujiro never really had a lot of friends because my mother died when I was six years old. But Soujiro, he's had it harder."

"How?"

"Soujiro lost his mother because she died giving birth to him. She wanted him to live because her life was already messed up enough. She was in gang violence and all other bad things. But his father moved away from the area into the country and they lived together. Then when he was three he got married to a lady. She was mean to Soujiro and she was just using the money that his father was making. But sadly, Soujiro's father died. It was just so sudden. He just got shot twice while he was coming back home and he died in his car. Then Soujiro had to live with her for a while. But since he was smart, he packed up and he took the will. He was about five when he ran. He ran almost halfway across the country just living on water and fruits. He then made it to some orphanage and after two weeks, my father and me went to adopt another child. I liked Soujiro because he came up and he was so cheerful and so positive while most of the others were sad. He said he was greatful that he had a place to live. So I asked my father do adopt him. And ever since, we've been through everything together." Kaoru nodded to show that she was paying attention.

"We were never really popular or had a whole bunch of friends. It was just us too. We were loners. We didn't need anybody because they use to talk about us and we would get jumped from time to time and soon we were just rebelling against everybody. Soujiro smiles because it's better to smile then to just show your emotions. He was use to it because he was forced to smile when his step mother would have company and stuff. But Soujiro can show his emotions, and when he does, it's bad and it's raging. He can't control himself. That's why we're so use to the law because we were arrested once for just jumping this kid and beating the lights out of him. We were only eleven and our father couldn't do anything. And then we finally realized how things are. How everything has a price. And Soujiro told me that his parents must have done something bad to die, but he didn't care. All that mattered was that they were there and they had loved him. That's why I am so protective over him. Because I don't want him to shut down."

"What will happen then?"

"He'll get sick and have an attack and then he'll just pass out and go into concussion." Kaoru gasped.

"But don't worry. He'll be okay." Kaoru smiled at him and nodded. Then Kaoru saw her favorite tree and she ran and jumped, catching a branch. She began to climb up the tree and then she told Kenshin to come up. They went to the top and then Kaoru sneezed from the air. Her hair was being blown by the wind along with Kenshin's but his was in his shirt.

"Kaoru you like to climb trees?" she nodded.

"Uh huh. Me and my mother use to. And it was so funny because one time she had falled out of the tree." Kenshin gasped.

"Was she hurt?"

"Nope. There was snow so she landed in the big pile of snow. And I thought it was so funny because she told me to jump down with her. And I did jump. But I kinda hurt leg. She was so mean because she put it in snow and then she said 'It'll make it better. Trust your mommy.'" the two shared a laugh.

"But my mother was so wild, yet she was motherly. She woud skinny dip in the neighbor's pool. She would curse out the mailman and flirt with him, and one time she had a paintball gun for her birthday and she shot down half the neighborhoood with paint balls. It was so funny because finally she shot my father on accident in his leg and he just dropped. She pulled us all outside and then she just looked on at him and then she just laughed at him and said 'next time you'll get the fuck out the way, ey sweetie?'" they shared another laugh.

"And that's why I miss her so much. She was just so cool to be around. She was a friend and a mother." Kenshin nodded.

"But I am going to be strong for her. So that is why I have to excel." Kenshin nodded. There was silence for a while until Kenshin and Kaoru's eyes met.

"Your eyes are so pretty Kaoru. Their so light and you can just see how kind you are by looking into your eyes." Kaoru blushed and thanked him before they turned and loked at the big cross over in the horizon. There was the church.

"My mother was so bad when we were up here. She use to bring her paintball gun and she would shoot at the cross. She said it was 'target practice'.They laughed once more before getting down and jogging back.

The games were over and it was time to go in. Soujiro caught up to them and then she linked her arms in theirs and they walkd back just talking and joking around. Kaoru pushed Kenshin and then he laughed at her before linking his arm in hers again and just entering the gym. She waved to them before going to the girls' locker room. She went and she took a quick shower before drying off and lotioning and getting dressed. She went into the mirror and she brushed her hair. She then let it down and she walked out before they could call her. She saw Kenshin just leaning against the wall in thought. She went to him and then she smirked at him before he looked at her in shock. He then smiled before standing up straight and kissing her. She put her arms around his neck and she was pulled closer. Soujiro came out and said 'ooooo'

"Kenshin what class do we have next?" Kenshin said 'Math' but it was slurred.

"Come again?" Kenshin said it again.

"Say that one more time?" Kenshin then flipped the finger and Soujiro laughed before he pulled out his camera and he took a photo of it.

"I wanna see a Frenchie!" he saw Kenshin lick her lips and the Kaoru opened her mouth before putting her fingers in his hair. Soujiro squealed excitedly before taking a picture. Then he heard theothers coming and the bell.

"Their coming out." Kenshin let go and got one more kiss before giving her a sexy smile. They walked down the hall and then Kaoru stopped as the hallways got crowded. She gave him another kiss and she knew they were watching. She then kissed him again before letting go and they walked to the Math room.

Kaoru was sitting in the class when Aoshi pulled her into the hallway. The class could hear them arguing and cursing at each other. Kaoru then got mad and she went back in the room. She got her phone.

"I'm calling daddy!"

"Call him then! I'll tell him with a fucking smile!"

"Alrigh then I will call him! And you can fucking smile all you fucking want!" Kaoru called he father and then she heard his voice.

"Daddy it's Kaoru... Aoshi won't stop." she began to tell what he was doing.

"And he called me an easy girl." Aoshi gasped at the lie and Kaoru made a sniffing noise before sticking her tongue out at him and passing him the phone. The teacher was so tired, she just let them go on and do what they wanted for the time being.

"Daddy I can explain."

"Explain Aoshi. Because it better be good."

"Kaoru is being so bad today!" he began to tell what was going on and then he told about the kiss. Kaoru gasped and looked at him as he told it all. Aoshi smirke and tried to give it back.

"I don't want that thing."

"Go on and explain yourself."

"No thanks. I'm done."

"Girl you better take this phone." Kaoru took it.

"Kaoru who the fuck is he? I wanna know right now so I can bust his head open."

"His name is Kenshin Himura. And he isn't a bad guy daddy! Honsest!" Kenshin sighed. He was always put into something. Kaoru went over and she pushed it to him.

"No that's alright."

"Kenshin take it."

"I'm fine. I'll pass."

"Boy don't test me." Kenshin gulped before standing up and taking the phone.

"Hello Mr. Kamiya.... My name is Kenshin Himura sir.... I just moved here sir.... no sir.... Well I would never do anything bad to your daughter."

"Well. Are you one of those fuck and leave people?"

"No Mr. Kamiya! I am not that type of person! I hate that. It's so... dirty. I promise to honor your daughter if I went out with her, sir."

"Don't call me sir. Call me Mr. Kamiya." Kaoru sighed. He was relaxing.

"Oh alright. Which reminds me to ask you. Um... can I go out with your daughter sir? I figured I should ask you first since Kaoru is so polite and has a lot of manners, it would be kinda wrong to just ask her and not get permission from you." Kenshin heard her father make a 'mmm' noise.

"Your the first person to actually come to me first before just trying to go out with her. That is a very manly thing to do and I thank you. So yes you may go out with her."

"Thank you Mr. Kamiya. Um... can I hold her hand?" Kaoru couldn't help but laugh in her hands like Soujiro and some of the other students.

"Another manly move. I respect you for this. You should always ask what you can and can't do. Very smart move. I'll lay down some rules. I want to meet you on Thursday night for dinner and bring one person with you so I can ask them about you."

"Okay." He heard him whisper something into his ear.

"Yes sir- I mean Mr. Kamiya."

"Good good. You can hug her, hold her hand, carry her shopping bags because my baby loves to shop. Right baby?"

"Yes daddy!" she said with a smile.

"Good girl. Now back to you Mr. Himura. Or can I call you Kenshin?"

"Kenshin is fine. I don't really care for formal greetings."

"Ah I see. Sorry if I have offended you in any way."

"You haven't sir."

"Okay. Now back to the things you can do. You can also drive her anywhere and take her on dates. And I know that I am being soft for her but you seem like a trustworthy man. You can kiss my daughter. But I don't you to think you can do it in front of my face all nasty and passionate. I will kick your ass." Kenshin laughed.

"Okay Mr. Kamiya."

"Good. Now you CANNOT feel up on her, You CANNOT slip you hands anywhere that is inappropriate. And the NUMBER ONE RULE that you CANNOT do is simple. (sigh) YOU CANNOT SLEEP WITH MY DAUGHTER. I WILL CHOP YOUR THING OFF IF YOU DO. Understand?"

"Yes sir. Oh! And I have long red hair. Do you tolerate that?"

"Fuck no. My brother had long hair and now look at him. He's a gay humping guys. I want it cut. Understand?"

"Yes Mr. Kamiya. Good day." he gave the phone back to Kaoru and then Kaoru said 'I love you too daddy.' and she hung up. Kenshin smirked at Soujiro who gave him a nod and a thumbs up.
Aoshi was upset because he didn't get it his way. The teacher just gave them work and said they could be in groups. The three worked together until the bell rang. Then they went out the room. They went to her locker first. She opened it and she put some books that she didn't have anything to do with in her locker. Then she grabbed her now dry jacket and she felt a hat placed on her head. It was Kenshin's. She smiled at him before shutting it and walking off with them as the others got to the locker. Kaoru pulled out her ponytail before letting her hair fall freely. Kenshin put the had on her head and then Soujiro tilted it a little bit. Kaoru pulled her hair into a tight ponytail before smiling at Kenshin who was wearing her scarf. He snuggled in its warmth before he then leaned on one of the desks and just began to walk. Kenshin then took his hand and put it on her cheek. She smiled at him and then he smiled back before kissing his two fingers and touching her forehead. She giggled before the bell rang. Kenshin got ready to fight.

Kaoru and Katyli were just sitting on the railing. Katyli was wearing Soujiro's bucket cap and his necklace. She also had his scarf. Kaoru was just sitting there with his hat, his chain, and her scarf along with her other clothes. They then smiled at each other ebfore looking on. Kenshin was up in the front with Tommy and Soujiro. Tommy was chocolate brown with light brown eyes and a nice haircut. Kaoru and Katyli thought he looked good.

"Shit if I wasn't going out with Kenshin I would go with him. He looks good as hell."

"Tell it girl." the two laughed, their eyes lighting up. Katyli's gray ones looked over to see that Kenshin had went up and gave the first hit. It was a real gang fight. Aoshi didn't want to see it at all. He had just left her there because she said she wanted to stay. 'Fuck it' was what he said and then Kaoru flipped him the finger and went back with Katyli.

"Wow. Their really fighting bad."

Kenshin and Tommy were working side by side, just punching people out. It was outnumbered, but since Taran street knew how to fight, it was an easy win. Two schools of Excustins had come down so it was about fourty to twenty-one. Tommy turned and punched one guy down to the ground before flipping a guy and punching him in his stomach and his face. The cops were coming around fast and soon the fight was over. Taran Street obviously had won. The cops then just began to split them apart and told them to go home since it was a first offense. Tommy went over, sweating with the others and soon the kids who were around to watch were leaving.

"Wow Kenshin. Got you a good one." they shook hands and then Tommy wrote down his number on her arm.

"If you ever want me to fuck him up for cheating on you, call me. Or if you just want to hang out with me and Kenshin and Smiley." she nodded and then he went to Katyli.

"Hey Sexy. What's your name?"

"My name is Katyli."

"Very exotic to me. Nice to meet you. I'm Thomas but they call me Tommy." they shook hands before Soujiro hugged her tight and rested his head on top of hers.

"This one is mine Tommy."

"I don't want her because she's wearing your gear. And besides. Substitute and me are gonna go and watch a movie tonight. She's eighteen. And she is banging! Look!" he pulled out his phone and showed it to her. Kenshin and Soujiro said 'Daaammmnnnn.'

"You know how to pick them, don't you?" Tommy smiled before they all walked down. Katyli needed a ride home because her father had another meeting and she was bored.

"We'll take you." Tommy got on his bike before placing on his jacket and writing down Kenshin's new address on a sheet of paper.

"Gotta go and help mom with the baby. Peace." he put on his helmet and then he raised the visor.

"Nice to meet you Kaoru. And Nice to meet you Katyli. See you four around."

"Bye!" they waved as he sped off down the street and turned. Kenshin started his car before they all got in. Katyli and Soujiro sat in the back. Then they drove off.

"This is a nice mustang."

"Thanks. It was a birthday gift." Kenshin looked left and right before going past the stop light and driving down the stret and turning towards the rich area. Katyli told him where she lived before he nodded and took her to her house. Soujiro walked her up to her door and then she gave him a kiss before givng back his cap and his scarf. He went back down and kicked his feet before getting in. They then went to Kaoru's house. Kaoru got out and she saw Yahiko running down to her, tears on his face. She picked him up.

"What's wrong Yahiko?"

"Aoshi took away my toys!"

"Why did he do that?" she asked with a shocked look.

"Because I got a bad sticker in school." Kaoru then hugged him close before introducing him to Kenshin and Soujiro. Kenshin felt bad, so he went in his trunk. Yahiko looked in as Kaoru held him. He went through his things before pulling out a GI Joe action figure with a truck.

"Here you go Yahiko." Yahiko immediately stopped crying and he became happy.

"Thank you Kenshin!" Kenshin smiled at him before rustling his hair and then getting back in the car. Kaoru wrote down her cell number and her house number.

"I'll call you in an hour or so." she nodded before giving him a kiss and then going up to her house and shutting the door. She then took Yahiko up to her room and letting him play on the floor. Aoshi came in the room and he saw the toys.

"Yahiko what did I say?" Yahiko held the toys close.

"Leave me alone!" he began to kick and cry as Aoshi took the toys away. Kaoru sighed.

"Aoshi leave him with his toys. I read the note that the teacher left here. It's not all his fault." Yahiko began to just ball and cry.

"Aoshi give him back his toys!"

"Kaoru don't try and let him slide! He has to learn right and wrong!"

"Aoshi he was quiet and he was ready to fall asleep! Give him back the toys and let him play!" Kaoru pulled, but Aoshi held a tight grip. Shuichi and Genia came to see. Tara was at basketball practice at school.

"Aoshi give me the toys! Kenshin gave them to him!" Aoshi stopped before pulling it out of her hand and looking at Yahiko.

"Yahiko didn't I say don't take anything from strangers?" he nodded.

"So we're going to give these back." Yahiko began to cry louder. Kaoru pulled once more.

"Aoshi give him the toys! Their like a gift to him! Give him back the toys!"

"No! He just did two wrongs already! And you know he did!"

"It's not like the toys have acid in them or something! Give them back to Yahiko!" soon the toy broke and Yahiko stopped his noise and he looked at it before wailing loud.

"Your such a dick!" Aoshi dropped the toys in the trashbin.

"Who are you calling a dick?!"

"I'm talking to you! Just give him a damn chance already!"

"I was going to until I saw him in the act! He's not somebody you want to go out with!"

"Don't tell me what to do! I'm not some child!"

"I'm trying to warn you so he doesn't fuck you and leave!" Kaoru froze and then she felt mad.

"Get the fuck out! Get out now! And leave Yahiko here!" Aoshi shrugged his shoulders.

"No skin off my bones!"

"Good! And stay the fuck out! Your such a dick!"
Genia and Shuichi sighed before going down the hall to Aoshi. Kaoru shut her door and then she picked up Yahiko who was throwing a tandrum. She then began to rock him silently. Slowly, Yahiko began to calm down. Then Kaoru saw him get sleepy and she laid him down on her bed before he fell asleep, tears on his eyelashes. Kaoru sat down on the floor and then she ran her fingers through her hair. She saw Sanosuke calling her and then she picked it up. She heard him blasting the same way and she hung the phone up and threw it at the wall.

"If they would only just stop sticking to their own social class and look at what else there is." and with that, she put on her CD player and she pushed her knees up to her chest and rested her head on her knees as she let the music go in her ears. She was pissed off with the world again.

R.S.: Whoo! Sorry it was so long, but it was just showing what is going on and who was who and their background. So the next chapter should be a little bit shorter. Promise.
