I made this story while going to bed, it kinda just popped into my head… the characters may seem a little OOC, but that's probably just because I don't watch the anime and I read the manga… Kenshin's probably the most OOC because it's I'd imagine him to probably be like as a modern day teen…

DISCLAIMER: sigh, "I don't own Rurouni Kenshin…" goes to sulk, and beat up Yahiko to blow off some steam…

LBD (yes I'm to lazy to write my own pen name,): Now back and in a happier mood turns and stops whistling, "What?"

Rest of the cast ('cept Yahiko…): 0.0;;;

Yahiko: XP

LBD: "WHAT?"

Kenshin: "Oro, this one thinks LBD-dono has gone a little over board…"

LBD: Hiding evil grin, "ANYWAYZ, on with the show!"

---------------------------------

Another typical day at school, deal with immature kids, stupid teachers, and talk with friends, was Kaoru's first thought as she got up in the morning. But in fact it was going to be quite the opposite…

The beginning of the day was the routine: get up to late, skip breakfast, refuse social suicide of mom driving you to school, get into car with Sanosuke driving (it's amazing they survived…) crammed in between over reactive Misao and Vixen Megumi.

"Hey Kaoru, you know that HOT guy Aoshi, Blah blah blah…" An occasional nod and "m-hm…" was Kaoru response to Misao's mindless babbling to show she was 'paying attention'. She stared out the window she could see the friendly neighbor hood fly by. Well she wasn't really seeing it she had grown so accustomed to it that she didn't even need to look. If she really was looking it would be even more boring, instead she just doze off thinking I need some excitement in my life… Little did she know that her wish would soon be granted.

When they made it to school Kaoru was still yawning and half awake as she navigated her way to her locker. Unluckily for her she wasn't looking where she was going because she knew the coarse so well. She bumped into someone, "sorry…" they mumbled as they hurried past her. I've never seen them before, how rude! Kaoru only caught a glimpse of long red hair and a cross-shaped scar due to her morning drowsiness. The bell rang and snapped Kaoru back into routine of the rest of the day.

Kenshin managed to slip into class unnoticed by most, he was thank full of that… He was new at this school and didn't mind being invisible. He was about to sigh out in relief when he saw the girl he had walked into earlier. Normally he wouldn't have recognized someone he only bumped into by accident, but her eyes shown like sapphires that caught his attention. Normally he wouldn't have even stopped to apologize, but there was something about her that just stuck into his mind. I hope she doesn't recognize me… He thought letting his bangs fall into his face to try and conceal his identity.

The period passed with agonizing slowness, Luckily the teacher had forgotten about the new student in his class. Okay, only five more minutes five mor- "oh! I almost forgot we have a new student." CRAP! "Lets see… Kenshin Himura… Hmm, oh there you are, stand up!" As if it was hard to spot Kenshin red hair, RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE… The teacher was probably too old for his job. Kenshin reluctantly stood up, "well tell us something about yourself." Yep, waaaaay to old…

"Umm… I-," Kenshin started only to be cut off by Kaoru's sudden out burst, "Hey! You're the guy who ran into me this morning!" Kaoru suddenly put her hand over her mouth, she had finally recognized him when he lifted his head to speak and revealed his scar.

Kenshin turned in amazement towards her. He started to stare, but the caught himself and redirected his ashamed gaze towards the floor. No wonder he remembered her she was beautiful, and not in a preppy way like all the other girls but in her own way. He slightly winced thinking that everyone saw him stare, but actually no one noticed because he had only looked for a few seconds, which seemed to him like minutes. Great now not only am I visible, but I'm also a jerk! He was about to reply when the bell rang. Oh, yes, saved by the bell! He quickly tried to pack up his supplies and rush out to his next class when Kaoru who, apparently, was steaming from anger stopped him. "Well!" She demanded.

"Umm?" Kenshin replied confused and hiding his face with his bangs trying to get past her. He could not directly gaze into her eyes because if he did he would probably end up standing there blushing like an idiot. He didn't know why but she made him feel sort of strange, and he wanted to get away from her as soon as possible.

"Oh, no you don't!" Kaoru would not let him get past her, "I think you still owe me a proper apology!"

"Oh, umm… I'm really sorry for bumping into you, but I needed to get to class as I do now…" Kenshin sheepishly apologized trying to reason with her and not offend her at the same time.

"You're not a people person are you?" Kaoru asked him. Well I guess he's not rude, just one of those shy kids…

"I – need – to – get – to – class…" Kenshin repeated slowly starting to get really pissed off by now. Why wont she let me go!

"Geeze, no need to get mad!" Kaoru hastily told him noticing when he lifted his eyes to meet her gaze they (his eyes) were slightly narrow and amber colored, not the blue that she had seen earlier. "Since you're new why don't ya hang out with me and my friends at lunch?"

He was slightly thrown off by her sudden burst of kindness, "wh, wha?" His eye's changed back to their normal color. He soon regained composure, "no, no I don't deserve to sit with you at lunch after so rudely bumping into you…"

"Oh, come on! It was nothing!" Kaoru complained, "Of coarse you can sit with us! It's not like I'm gonna start calling you Mr.Himura!"

"But miss… um…"

"Kaoru Kamiya."

"But miss Kaoru I really don't deserve to sit with you…" Kenshin finished after learning her name.

Then the bell rang, they spent the whole intermission time arguing. "Opps there's the bell got to go! See you at lunch!" Kaoru smiled and went off to her next class.

"But!" Kenshin couldn't argue she was already out of sight. This is going to be a long day… He thought as he ran of to his next class.

---------------------------------

LBD: "Ha ha! I made Kenshin a stupid teenager!"

Kenshin: "NO! Not even being hitokiri is worthy of this treatment!"

Sano, Kaoru, Misao, and LBD: evil glare at Kenshin, "What's wrong with stupid teens!" (Yes, we are willing to admit to it…)

Kenshin: "umm…" starts to turn and run

1 hr. later

kenshin: on the ground with Misao's kunai piercing all over him, splinters in a bump on his head from Kaoru's broken Shania, his lunch on the floor thanks to a punch in the gut from Sano, an imprint of a cleat on his face courtesy of moi, and a large M.Y.T.S. (Myojin Yahiko, Tokyo Samurai) on his fore head from Yahiko just for the heck of it.

LBD: "you don't even deserve to have your name capitalized!"
