Look at her,
The girl with the smile
Doesn't she look happy
Always so cheerful and bright
So kind and beautiful…
It's almost impossible to see it,
The look in her eyes…
Behind the shining eyes…
There's something else there,
Hidden and buried away,
Locked away and forgotten by all but one…
What is she hiding…
What could possibly be there…
Is it something to fear…
Something to hate…
Is that why she hides it…
What is it she's afraid to show…
What is too hard to bear…
Why is she running from it…
Why won't she…
Why can't she…
Why can't we…
See the truth, behind the mask,
Into her soul and what is hidden underneath…
Inside her eyes

WARNING: I'm too lazy to tell you when the povs change so you'll have to figure it out yourself. I also have trouble putting characters into their proper characteristics, in other words OOC and I have trouble including everyone in scenes, meaning, Aoshi or Misao will be there but they don't say anything, they are just there for the sake of being there. So either deal with it or get lost.
Chapter3
Till We Meet Again
BEEP BEEP BEEP
'Ugh, stupid alarm clock.' The redhead thought as he turned over and smashed his clock. "Oi! Kenshin, get your ass down here!" yelled his roommate Sano. Kenshin groaned. 'Sano woke up early; Katsura must've sent one of his messengers.' Slowly the redhead picked himself off his bed and went to get changed; not before casting a look of longing back at his soft, warm, comfy, heavenly, snug, wonderful, cozy… 'Ugh….must stop thinking about bed……..need to wake up…..'
After changing he went down stairs to the kitchen. There Sano was waiting impatiently. "About damn time you came down! It took you 15 minutes to come down! And here I thought you couldn't get anymore feminine than you already are!" Sano teased. "Here; letter from Katsura, says he wants us to be at the main base for a special meeting tonight." He tossed Kenshin the message. After reading it over Kenshin couldn't help but raise his eyebrow. 'What kind of special mission is this? Even Aoshi, Sano, and Saitou are coming. Must be a really rich person with a lot of guards…' he mused. 'But still, that doesn't explain why…' He would have continued his train of thought, if it were not for the large hand waving in front of his face. "Hello, Kenshin, ya in there?" Kenshin sighed. He could feel his eye starting to twitch right about now. "Sano, get you freakin' bear paws out of my face." He said coldly.
"Ah, come on Kenshin, don't be like that!" Sano whined. "Then don't bug me!" he said, narrowing his amber eyes. "Cool down would ya, I just wanted to say we should be heading to school soon." Sano said cheerfully. "Don't remind me." Kenshin muttered. "I don't even really see why we have to go."
Eating quickly, the both of them rushed out the door and toward their personal 'hell'. They hadn't gone more than a couple of feet before they where tackled from behind.
"Kenshin! Roosterhead!" the short, energetic Misao screamed.
"Hey! Get off me ya weasel!" Sano shouted as he tried to pry Misao's arm off his neck.
Kenshin just smiled. "Good morning everyone." "Huh?" Sano questioned and looked around him. Off to the side where their other 'friends' Aoshi, Saitou, Megumi, Yahiko, and Tomoe. (A/N: just so you know, this is a different Tomoe from the one in the beginning, also, if you're a Tomoe fan...i suggest you either hit that 'go back' button, but if you wish to continue to read then i patiently wait for and anticipate your future flames!) "Ken!" Megumi squealed before glopping onto him like icky sticky glue that you can't seem to shake off no matter how hard you try. "Stop it woman, you're making a scene." snarled Saitou. Tomoe and Aoshi just nodded and quietly stayed to the side and watched as Yahiko and Misao gave Sano their 'special' morning 'greeting'. Though before long they where all off the the lovely prison from hell we all know as school! They only had so much time before the bell rang since they all slept in, tired from their individual late night missions. They would have made it on time too, if it weren't for the fact that out of seemingly know where some girl walk right into Kenshin.
'What the hell!' he thought as he looked down at the girl on top of him. 'Hey, she ain't half bad looking' he thought absently as she scrambled off of him and began apologizing.
It was her sapphire blue eyes though that really caught his attention. They seemed to swirl with thousands of emotions, giving off a innocent and pure light. This girl was definitely interesting.
"Uh, could you please stop staring at me like that? It's kinda making me nervous." the girl said while fidgeting a little. "Huh? Oh, sure! You should really watch where you are going." Kenshin teased. To his amusement the girl in front of him blushed and then laughed nervously. "I'm really sorry about that, it's just I'm such a big klutz!" she said while rubbing the back of her head. 'What the hell am I talking about! OMG, I'm an even bigger idiot than I thought! Can't I say anything "not" stupid!' she screamed inside her head. Looking at the guy in front of her again she notice he had something on his back. It kinda looked like a..."OMG I'M LATE!" she screamed and ran off down the street. "Wait!" Kenshin called. She looked over her shoulder. "Sorry can't talk, I'm late for school!" she screamed back before pushing herself to go faster. (A/N: no they do not go to the same school, that would just make things too easy and this story shorter than it already is gonna be.)
"I wonder who she was." Kenshin said out loud. "I wonder too." said a quiet voice. Everyone turned and looked at Aoshi in surprise. "What do ya mean Aoshi?" asked Yahiko perplexed. "Doesn't it seem odd to you? How she was able to get so close to us without anyone sensing her?" Aoshi said. "Huh? Uh, I still don't get what you're trying to say." said Sano while scratching the back of his head in confusion. "What the icicle is saying roosterhead is that she must be some type of fighter, and a really good one too. I didn't even sense her coming." remarked Saitou. "And that would mean...?" asked Misao. "It means that she must have been concealing her ki." Megumi said while shaking her head at the still confused Misao and Sano. "I didn't sense her coming and even with right in front of me, I couldn't sense anything at all again. Even when she looked surprise, she didn't once slip up and reveal her ki. She's really good, at least good enough to be more than just an average girl." said Kenshin after some thought. "Whatever, lets just get to class. We're already late as it is thanks to that raccoon girl." grumbled Yahiko. Nodding in agreement the others followed him inside, Tomoe lagged behind. When she reached the door she made sure that the others where too far away down the hall before turning her head to look at the direction the girl from early run off to. Smirking she turned back around and walked inside while whispering to herself, "So, you've been here the whole time eh, Kaoru? Or should I say Hitokiri Ice?"
