Boys

AN: I own nothing in this story. Please R&R.

During lunch Raven and Tokiko sat together away from everyone else. Gar saw the two and decided to go up and see if he could join them. Before he could get to the table two other guys had beat him to it.

Great, it's the creepy guy and the ice cube. Gar thought. Vincent Valentine and Aoshi Shinomori were two juniors who always hung out together. Probably because they were both antisocial but half the girls in the school wanted to be with them because they were so handsome. Vincent's long black hair and red eyes gave him a mysterious air and Aoshi's ice cold blue orbs and black bangs melted women on the spot. Gar needed someone to break them up. Relief came when he spotted Yuffie and Misao Strife, two hyperactive sophomores who obsessed over the two handsome juniors.

"Hey girls, I see Aoshi and Vincent over there and it looks like they're talking to some freshman." Both girls stood up and glared over at the objects of their affections.

"No tramps are going to steal our men, right Yuffie?"

"Yep." Then the two teenagers rushed towards Vincent and Aoshi who quickly ran away from their stalkers. Gar shyly walked up to the table.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?" Raven put down the book she was reading and glared at the boy. He was short and had spiky blond hair. His eyes though were a very bright green that reminded Raven of a lush forest. Needless to say they caught her off guard.

"I don't know, can you?" She finally managed to say. Gar blushed but sat down across from the sisters.

"I guess I can. I'm Garfield Logan but please call me Gar."

"I'm Raven and this is my sister Tokiko."

"Rae, did you want any lunch?" Tokiko asked, getting up to leave the two alone. Raven shook her head and Tokiko smirked at her sister. Raven glared back but was quickly drawn to Gar's eyes again. "Have fun you two." Tokiko said in parting.

"Um, is your dad really Hiko Seijuro?" Raven sighed heavily.

"Yes but don't spread it around, I have enough problems as it is."

"Like what?"

"Like that's my business and none of yours." Raven said in a monotone voice. Gar gave her a sheepish grin.

"Sorry, I kind of have a big mouth."

"I noticed."

"So, Rae, that's a cool nickname."

"It's Raven. Only family members can call me Rae." Gar gave her that sheepish smile again.

"Sorry."

"It's okay. So what do you like to do?"

"Oh you know, watch movies, hang out, stuff like that. What about you?"

"I don't really get out much. I prefer solitude and I love to read."

"Well I'll join you if you want to read sometime." Gar mentally slapped himself as he said this. Pickup lines were not his area of expertise but Raven blushed.

"If you'd like to." Before Gar could continue they heard some students yell out. Some students parted and they saw Tokiko off to the side and a boy slumped to the ground, some heavy cooking pans scattered around him. Raven ran up to her sister. "What happened?"

"This guy pushed me out of the way." The student moaned a little and struggled to his feet. Tokiko ran up to him and helped the teen get to his feet. His black hair was a little messy but his eyes focused on Tokiko's face as he came around.

"Are you alright?"

"I should be asking you that. What's your name?" Her face was flushed a little as she gazed into his brown eyes.

"Kazuki Himura and you are?"

"Tokiko Seijuro."

"I'm glad you're not hurt Tokiko-san." Out of the corner of her eye, Tokiko saw Raven smirking at her.

"Thanks Kazuki." The boy grinned at her. Just then the bell rang and the students started to head to the rest of their classes.

"Tokiko c'mon, we have to go to class." Waving goodbye to Kazuki and Gar the two sisters headed towards their supposed worst class, English with Mr. Hajime.

Meanwhile in the gym Tifa and Tomoe had just emerged from the locker room when they heard someone calling.

"Hey girls!" Tifa recognizing the voice ran up and threw her arms around her best friend.

"Hey Sano, how was your summer?" The spiky haired senior shrugged his broad shoulders.

"Nothing big happened got into a few fights, gambled a little, that's all."

"You really shouldn't do that." Sano just shrugged again.

"What about me, don't I get a hug?" Tifa whirled around and saw her other best friend, Cloud Strife, his hair as blond and spiky as ever.

"Sure." Tifa then hugged him.

"Cloud, what are you doing?" A soft voice asked. Cloud and Tifa broke apart and Cloud had a sheepish smile on his face. A girl with long brown hair and piercing emerald eyes was standing in front of him with her hands on her hips.

"Aeris, this is my best friend Tifa, my good buddy Sano, and Tomoe, Tifa's sister. Guys this is Aeris Gainsborough, my girlfriend." Aeris had a blush on her cheeks that matched the pink on her shirt.

"I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions it's just that…"

"It's alright." Tifa said, smiling. "So how long have you two been going out?"

"Since the start of the summer." Aeris said.

"How do you put up with his two crazy sisters?" Sano butted in.

"Hey rooster-head don't make fun of Misao and Yuffie." Cloud exclaimed.

"What? I'm just saying what everyone knows, Needle Noggin. I have a crazy little sibling too and I love Yahiko with all my heart. Oh yeah I almost forgot, I met this guy over the summer and he just transferred here from Japan. He's kind of shy though so let me go get him." Sano then rushed back to the locker room and brought his friend out. The boy was slim and short and his hair was very red. The oddest thing about him was that he had a single scar on his left cheek. His violet eyes widened a little when he saw Tifa, Aeris, and Tomoe. The boy bowed.

"Hello, I'm Kenshin Himura. It's an honor to meet you."

"So Kenshin, what do you think of America?"

"This one likes it. The people are friendly and my family has adapted well."

"You speak English very well." Tomoe remarked.

"Arigatou Tomoe-dono. My mother is American and my father is Japanese so I learned to speak both languages well."

"Do you have any brothers or sisters Kenshin?"

"My little brother Kazuki is a freshman."

"Our little sisters are too!" Tifa exclaimed, indicating Tomoe and herself.

"I should have realized you two were related, you are both very beautiful, Tifa-dono." Tifa smiled warmly at the compliment but Tomoe was blushing fiercely.

"Thanks and just call me Tifa, please."

"Sorry."

"It's alright."

"If you kids are done with your jabbering, it's time to run some laps, on the double!" Their teacher, Mr. Wallace called out. The students all groaned but started running.

Raven and Tokiko entered Mr. Hajime's class and instantly took note of the huge sign that hung over the white board.

"Slay evil immediately? What kind of motto is that?" Raven wondered aloud. Just then the rest of the class came in and started blabbering like there was no tomorrow. Then the teacher arrived. The class quieted as soon as they saw them. His black hair was slicked back except for 4 bangs that hung in front of his eyes, which were golden and wolf like.

"I must be the luckiest man in the world. Another batch of fools to teach."
