Picked On

Chapter 5

The next day, Kaoru got up an hour early so she could shower and get ready for school. She blow dried her hair after her shower, put on some black make-up, and out on her clothes. She had some high heels that she had gotten just in case.

After she was all ready, she looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't even recognize herself. Her messy hair was now down, shiny, and straight, her legs were perfect, as was the rest of her body. Mr. Shigure, the principal was in for a real shock.

Kaoru left her home and headed to school. ON her way there, she got horn honking and men looking at her. "This is so cool," she said in a whisper.

Finally she got to school. She stopped once she entered. She looked around and let some people pass. Then with all the confidence she had, she walked down the hallway shifting her hips.

In response, she got wolf whistles, guys and girls gawking at her, and everyone was whispering. "I think my 2nd day is going to be allot better than my first," she said.

She was already 10 minutes late for MR. Saito's class. She entered the room. As soon as she did the whole class looked at her in awe. Even Mr. Saito looked at her. "Excuse me miss, I think you're in the wrong place," he said.

"Mr. Saito. It's me Kaoru Kamiya," she said. Saito just stared blankly at her. "Oh, that's quite an outfit Miss Kamiya. Now take you seat," he said. Kaoru did as she was told. She had an extra seat near Tomoe. She saw Kenshin who looked at her like she was an angel.

Kaoru walked up to Tomoe and whispered; "Eat your heart out." Tomoe was pissed off but she couldn't do anything about it. Kaoru then walked by Kenshin. She heard him whisper "You're drop dead gorgeous." She smiled at him as a thank you.

She took her seat and began to take notes in the classroom. Once the bell rang, Kaoru headed to her next class, but then she heard her voice over the intercom; "Miss Kaoru Kamiya to the principal's office now!"

Kaoru sighed. "Show time," she said as she entered Mr. Shigure's office. Mr. Shigure was as tall as Mr. Gentatsu. He had long hair tied back in a slick ponytail. He was VERY handsome. "Miss Kamiya, please take a seat," he said gesturing her down.

Kaoru sat down. She looked at Mr. Shigure. "Did I do something?" she asked. "No," said Shigure looking at her up and down. "Do you want me to do something?" she asked. "As a matter of fact, would you care to join me after school?" he asked her. "Isn't that illegal for a teacher to date a student?" Kaoru asked. "So?" asked Shigure. "I think I should go," said Kaoru getting up and heading for the door.

As soon as she put her hand on the doorknob, she felt something whoosh past her. She looked up and a dagger was blocking her exiting. It was on the lock to the door, preventing her form going. "Miss Kamiya, that was not an invitation, it was an order," said Shigure.

Kaoru turned around and looked at Shigure with determination in her eyes. "If you don't let me out, I'll scream," she said. "Try it, these walls are soundproof," said Shigure who now was pinning Kaoru to the door with either of his hands on her shoulders. "You won't get away with this!" screamed Kaoru. "People know I'm in here," she said.

Shigure took her chin in the palm of his hand. "Is that so?" he asked. "Well, then I guess they are in for a surprise when they find your body," said Shigure.

Kaoru then let out an ear piercing scream. Shigure clasped his hand on her mouth. "Shut up you brat. The others screamed too, but not before I killed them then had my way with them," said Shigure.

Kaoru's eyes bulged. So he was the one who killed her classmates. With all her strength, she stepped on his foot with her heals, grabbed the dagger from the door, and cut him across the face. A huge bloody gash erupted from his face like lava from a volcano.

Kaoru ran form the room to find Kenshin. She arrived at her next class with pure luck. "KENSHIN!" she screamed. Everyone looked at Kaoru. She had a dagger in her hand and she had some blood on her. "What the hell happened?" asked Kenshin who was at Kaoru's side in a heartbeat.

"You were right! It was him! He tried to rape me!" screamed Kaoru. Kenshin no Battousai was enraged. He kneeled down and took out a gun that he had cleverly hidden on his person. "Everyone evacuate the building!" he yelled to the teacher. "What's going on?" asked the teacher.

"Just do it!" yelled Battousai. Tomoe went by in utter shock. "You are a police man! I actually liked you!" she snarled. She spit on his shoe. "Fuck you," she said. Megumi, Misao, and Aoshi went by too in utter disgust. They actually thought that the police could be cool…uh not!

The kids from that class went outside. Kenshin and Karou ran to the main office. "ATTENTION KYOTO HIGH! WE HAVE A KILLER IN THE SCHOOL! I REPEAT A KILLER IN THE SCHOOL! EVERYONE EVACUATE NOW!" screamed Kenshin over the intercom.

"Don't you think you went a little too far?" asked Kaoru. "How?" asked Kenshin. "Well think about it…all these kids running around. He could either slip out with them or take one of them hostage?" she asked.

"Not if I know where he is," said Kenshin. "Where is he then?" she asked. "He's in his office," said Kenshin. "But how do you know?" she asked wanting an answer. A straight answer.

"I don't," said Kenshin. "Oh that makes me feel a whole lot better," said Kaoru. "Come on," said Kenshin who dragged her into the crowded hall.

Kenshin and Kaoru went into the halls filled with students. "Kaoru get out!" Battousai said to her. "Kenshin, what about you?" she asked. "Don't worry about me," said Kenshin. "I know what I'm doing," he said. Kaoru couldn't help herself. She grabbed Kenshin and kissed him full on the lips. "I love you," she said.

"I love you too, now go!" said Battousai then he disappeared into the crowd. Kaoru tried to head outside, but it was so tough with 400 students crowding the door.

Kaoru felt someone grab her and lead her to another door. She looked at who was holding her and to her dismay, it was Shigure. "YOU!" screamed Kaoru. "Someone!" she yelled, but then her voice was muffled by Shigure's hand.

"You are my ticket out of here," he said. He looked at her hand. "I'll take that dagger Miss Kamiya," he said. Kaoru felt the dagger against her skin. It felt cold as an ice cube.

Meanwhile, Kenshin had rendezvoused with Gentatsu. He gave him his gun while he grabbed his katana out of his locker. "Let's go grab ourselves a murderer," said Gentatsu. battousai unsheathed his sword. It glistened like sterling silver in the light. "Lets," he said.

Shigure on the other hand, had Kaoru in front of him like a shield looking this way and hat pulling Kaoru with him. Kenshin turned the corner and saw them both. "Kaoru!" he yelled. "Kenshin!" called Karou. "Not another step," said Shigure ready to slice Kaoru. Battousai stopped.

"Well, isn't this sweet?" asked Shigure. "The cop and the student. Drop the sword or she gets cut," said Shigure. Karou shook her head no, but Kenshin had no choice. He dropped it and slid it towards Shigure, all the time, still glaring with his amber eyes.
