A/N:
Dove: This.. was a hard chapter to write..
Kenshin: She's sad because school is starting today.
Sano: But she promises to get a chapter of Dark out per week, no matter how much homework is piled on her!
Dove: I had it started.. but it was stupid..
Kenshin: She's slightly zoned out..
Dove: And then I got hit with a plot-twist so hard that I fell off of my chair..
Sano: ..onto me..
Dove: And then I started writing the chapter. It didn't write it's self like most of the chapters do, but it was still okay.
Kenshin: Yep..
Dove: And someone asked about where I got my information the Valkyre. I looked it up on an online dictionary. It might be wrong. But I like it. Heh.
Kenshin: *Suddenly draws Sakabatou and slices Dove in half.*
Dove: AGG! KENSHIN!! IT TOOK ME A MONTH TO PUT THIS CLONE TOGETHER! *Glares*
Kenshin: I KNEW it wasn't you!
Dove: *Leaps through the air to tackle him*
Kenshin: *Side-steps*
Dove: *Smashes into Aoshi* AGH!
Aoshi: Eh?
Misao: *Evil eyes* GRRRR
Dove: Crap..
*Loud crashes, yelps, and bangs*

Chapter Twenty-Three
Kaoru's first class was Spanish. She had it with Soujiro. She could count to ten.. he could say 'Hello, how are you?'. So they were basically both at the same disadvantage.
Kenshin and Sano were in chemistry. This worried Kaoru somewhat. She kind of didn't want the school levelled before the mission could be completed.
As soon as she and her 'brother' walked into the classroom, whispers began.
"Ah, Miss Tsumuji and Mr.Ouki, I presume?" The teacher asked, a pleasant smile on his face.
"Yes." Soujiro answered for them, grinning cheerfully. Kaoru tried to ignore the whispers, she couldn't tell if they were hostile or friendly. Frankly she didn't care.
"Well, introduce yourselves to the class!" Kaoru suppressed a groan. Soujiro jumped right in.
"I'm Igazuchi Ouki – I just go by Ouki. That's my little sister, Arashi Tsumuji. She prefers Arashi.We transferred here from a private school elsewhere. Any questions?" The teacher looked slightly surprised at his tone, and then waved towards the seats.
"Any volunteers?" A very pretty girl with long black hair and pink eyeshadow waved her hand.
"Arashi can sit next to me, if she'd like!" She offered cheerfully. Kaoru blushed at the girl's eagerness to sit by her. The teacher nodded, so Kaoru took the seat next to her and managed a smile.
"Hi, I'm Sango!" The girl offered before Kaoru could say anything. Kaoru managed to keep her jaw from dropping. Sccaarryy..
"Um.. hi. Nice to meet you." Kaoru responded, hastily pulling a notebook and pencil out of her bag as Soujiro took a seat next to a burly boy who looked more willing to pound on his face than to sit next to him.
Kaoru hoped he'd be okay.
And then class began.
**
"Sano, add the BLUE liquid, not the-" BLAM!!
"Kenshin, I'M COLOR BLIND!"
"Well, then stop doing-" BOOOM "D*** IT Sano!!"
**
Lunch time came around, after Kaoru attended English with Kenshin, Sano and Soujiro suffered through basic computers, and then all of them were together for History.
"School food actually tastes good here.." Kaoru muttered through her mouthful of ham sandwich.
"It should, most of these students pay 10,000 or more a year to attend this place." Soujiro responded.
"I would NEVER pay that much to go to school." Kaoru muttered. "As much as I like it." Kenshin had been quietly looking through their schedules.
"Kaoru, Sano, Soujiro.. we all have math next hour." The air became somewhat tense.
"What.. what should we do?" Kaoru asked somewhat shakily.
"The same thing we would in any other class. But we have to come up with a way to.. well, as Sano would put it, 'Case the place' so that we can come at night and do some real spying. After school works as well. Teachers tend to leave the room a lot." Kenshin started to add something, but was cut off when a giggling gaggle of girls came up behind him.
"Ooh, you're Kenshin Himura? You're so cute!" Kaoru almost started laughing. HE WAS BLUSHING!
"Oh..um.. thanks."
"Would you like to go to the dance next Friday with me?" Kenshin reached over and gripped Kaoru's hand.
"I'm sorry, but I must decline." Kaoru felt every one of those girls shooting eye-daggers at her. They left, the air around them thick with dissapointment and annoyance.
"Girls have been after him all day." Sano grumbled. From his tone, Kaoru guessed that they'd been neglecting him.
"You're Atashi, right?" Asked a voice behind Kaoru. She spun on her seat.
"Yes.. I am.."
"My friend asked me to give you this." Shoving the note into Kaoru's hands, the boy raced off.
"How odd.." Kaoru murmured, unfolding the paper.
'Miss Atashi, meet me at the back of the school.'
That was all it said.
"What does it say, Kaoru?"
"Nothing." Kaoru giggled, shoving the note into her bag.
**
Math class came, and it was very simple. Kaoru almost forgot the mission.The teacher was a tall man, with a shining white smile. He reminded her of a of those cliché 'knight in shining armor'. He had thick blonde hair and deep blue eyes.
And a good speaking voice, too.
**
The rest of the day was uneventful.
After the last bell, Kaoru informed Kenshin that she needed to do something and would be right back.
And then she went to see what this mystery note-writer wanted.
Everything was dark. She couldn't see anyone.
And then she heard a voice.
"So, you're here." And suddenly found herself surrounded.
'This is beginning to look like a BAD idea..' she thought absently.
**
Soujiro claimed that he needed to go to the bathroom while they were waiting for Kaoru, and so entered the school once more.
He did go into the bathroom, but then he whipped a cellphone out.
"Hello, Mr. Shishio? Yes, I have their complete trust. When do you want to put the plan in motion?" Silence. "Of course, Mr. Shishio. I will. Have a nice day!" And then he hung up.
**
A/N: Anyone see that coming? Heh. Sorry this chapter sucks.. I'm WAY nervous about school (I always do that, get totally stressed before the first day) and I'm really tired. But I wanted to get SOMETHING out.
So how 'bout a little support, hmm? Like five or six reviews? ^_-
And Ryu, check on our RP, I posted! ^-^
*Strolls off to finish getting things in order for school.*
Kenshin: Sano, go put her books back where they're supposed to be before she notices!
Sano: *Pout* Spoil Sport..
Dove: This.. was a hard chapter to write..
Kenshin: She's sad because school is starting today.
