[~ Prologue ~]

-*-

Misao Makimachi ran hopelessly, yet desperately through the rain towards the gray, gloomy looking building that was called Sayuri High. Her heart was pounding in her ears as she finally reached the main entrance of the school and shoved the door open while juggling her books in the other hand.

She was going to be late! And for her first class which happened to be honors math, and taught by the crankiest of the teachers, Ms. Sakamoto. A bad-tempered old woman with no enjoyment other than making up impossible pop quizzes and handing out as many detentions she could for any little reason possible.

She groaned as she climbed to the third floor of the building, sopping wet, and entered a classroom labeled Room 324. She tried her best to stay as close to the back of the room as possible wishing that she could change to the color of the walls to keep Ms. Sakamoto from noticing her. And she seemed to be succeeding, while the old hag droned on about some complicated equation she was writing out on the black board, but before she could reach her seat an overly sweet and sarcastic voice ran out.

"Oh! Look who's late for class today! Why – It's Misao-chan!" Misao gritted her teeth together and glared at the girl who had just spoken. Yumi. One of the most dreadful and hated girls she knew. She was a cheerleader, with a bad attitude and a wardrobe that only seemed to contain Victoria Secret Lingerie. Misao had to wonder how she even got into this Honors Math class.

'Well she is rich…' She thought sarcastically.

"Makimachi!" A shrill voice croaked from the front, which belonged to none other than Ms. Sakamoto. Misao quickly turned her head away from Yumi to stare wide eyed at the old woman, who peered cruelly out from behind the thick glasses she donned.

"Late – again, Makimachi?"

"But Ms. Sakamoto, this is just the firs-" Misao began to protest.

"Enough! Detention!" She said slamming her hand down on the table like a judge does when the defendant is announced guilty. Misao jumped and took a step back,

"But Ms. Sakamoto, that really isn't fair! I was only late once and I haven't ever misbehaved in your class! Detention is going a little far…" Misao trailed off as all her classmates turned to stare at her in shock for she had just "talked back" to one of the wickedest teachers in the school. This was definitely going to get interesting: Showdown Between Makimachi and Sakamoto! This was definitely going to be top news for the week. And they all got to witness it.

Someone gave a low whistle and Ms. Sakamoto gave one sharp glance in the direction from which it came which silenced and more noises and whispers. Her hard stared turned once again onto Misao who was starting to regret stating her opinion.

"What did you say, Makimachi…" Ms. Sakamoto asked in a deadly calm and steady voice and all eyes turned toward Misao waiting for what she would say.

Misao was angry. She was only late! It's not like she suddenly curse the teacher out or spit in the teacher's coffee cup, and now she had a detention for it! Keeping all the calm she had left she restated almost as calmly as Ms. Sakamoto what she had previously said.

"I said, I do not think that is a very fair punishment, Ms. Sakamoto. I was only late once and I haven't done anything wrong in this class-"

"Up until now!" All eyes turned toward Ms. Sakamoto. She was shaking with fury at a student speaking their mind to her when before they just nodded quietly and turned their head away refusing to meet her eyes. But now…

"And for talking back Makimachi, you have detention for the rest of the week!" Ms. Sakamoto smiled as she saw the look of totally horror cross the young girl's face.

The class gasped.

"But Ms. Sakamoto-"

"Continue with this Misao Makimachi and make it a month…" She threatened.

Misao angrily bit her tongue to keep from reply back, drawing some blood, said in a loud, heated voice,

"Yes Ms. Sakamoto." And took her seat. She caught the eye of Yumi, the last person she needed to be around right now, who smirked and turned around in her seat, flipping a piece of dark layered hair over her shoulder.

She was the reason all this started in the first place!

Damn her… Misao thought angrily. She couldn't wait until there was a chance to get her!

Then her thoughts returned to reality and she suddenly groaned.

How the heck was she going to be able to tell Jiya?

Misao sighed happily as the bell rang for lunch. She really needed to talk to Kaoru right now and tell her everything! She left her third period class, English, to head towards the cafeteria.

She found Kaoru, Sanosuke, and Megumi already seated at their table and pulled up a chair beside them and sat down and put her face in her hands.

"What's with the weasel?" Sanosuke said jokingly while poking her in the arm.

"Don't de so insensitive!" Kaoru yelled as she smacked him upside the head, and then asked in a worried voice to Misao, "What's the matter, Misao-chan? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, what's up with the unusually bright and cheery Misao Makimachi?" Megumi asked, while taking a drink from her coke across the table, being sarcastic, as usual. Megumi, noticing that it wasn't something juvenile and silly from the look on Misao's face, put her coke down and asked seriously, "No, really, what's up with you?" Megumi wasn't all warm and friendly like Kaoru, but this was her way of being friendly and everyone knew that.

"I…I have detention!" Misao cried, and buried her head in Kaoru's shoulder and cried. Megumi stared blandly at Misao. Sanosuke studied his ham sandwich before glancing up and saying quite casually,

 "It ain't that bad." Everyone's eyes turned towards him and glared.

"What?" he asked.

Kaoru rolled her eyes before answering, "That's not really what she wants to be hearing from you right now! Geez, we all know how many detentions you have had already!"

Megumi didn't even bother a word with Sanosuke, but instead sat back in her chair and asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice,

"And how did this come about?" Misao had stopped crying by then and was sniffling a bit.

"I was late for school, and you know Ms. Sakamoto's Honors Math class, right, well I came in just a little late and she gave me a detention…"

Sanosuke suddenly sat up and leaned forward in his seat and stated, "So you're the one!" Everyone looked at him like he lost his mind.

"What are you talking about, Sano?" Megumi asked in a bored tone.

"The one who kicked that old bat's ass! Alright! I never would have guessed it would have been little A+ Misao Makimachi! I thought someone way cool..er…" He finished slowly, noticing his mistake, "Not, not that you aren't cool…"

Kaoru didn't even bother smacking him, but turned to Misao instead and stared at her wide-eyed…"Did you…?"

"NO!…Well yeah – It's not like that!" Misao desperately tried to explain the exaggerated story.

"So what is it like?" Megumi leaned in closer, "What did you do to the old hag?"

After Misao told the whole story and how she not only had one detention, but for the rest of the week everyone sat back in their seat, while Sano seemed pleased to her one of his friends was the one who "kicked the old witch in the ass".

"Well, I see no need to be upset, you're like a hero now, weasel!" Sanosuke announced proudly. No one paid attention.

"…Well…not everybody in detention are really 'bad' Misao, so I wouldn't worry…" Kaoru said reassuringly. Megumi snorted,

"Except for that.." Megumi said pointing behind her toward the back of the lunchroom, where the lighting was dimmer. Kaoru and Misao turned their heads to where she had pointed and were greeted with a disturbing sight.

There surrounding the round table were the people that Sayuri High most feared and stayed away from; Aoshi Shinomori, Shishio Makoto, his girlfriend and most hated by Misao, Yumi Komagata. Along with their faithful followers, Hannya, Beshimi, Shikijo, Hyoutoko, Kamatari, Henya, Hoji, and on goes the list of those notorious jerks. They were considered a gang to many and almost always they would have detention, sometimes they'd skip it and other times when they had nothing better to do, they'd go.

Misao had heard stories of the times they went that they would just go there to beat up on the students who also had detention, and they were even rumored to have done this to girls too. Other stories were that the teachers actually hired them to go into the classrooms and 'mess around' with the kids in detention to make them fear coming back.

As she had said…rumors…or so she tried to convince herself.

They all turned their heads back away, except Misao who stared a little longer, until Yumi caught her eye and they glared at each other. Yumi then smirked a little and whispered something in Shishio's ear and he smirked and gave a glance in Misao's direction and then it all at once seemed as though they were whispering in each other's ears. Misao felt her stomach grow cold with dread and was about to turn around when Hannya whispered the something in Aoshi's ear and his eyes looked up and locked onto Misao's.

They were an icy, unmerciful blue that chilled you and made you shiver. Misao's eyes grew wide as Aoshi Shinomori slowly smirked. Misao quickly turned around in her seat and felt her heart beating at an enormous pace.

And the only thing she could think was He saw me! Misao had did her best and hardest to always avoid them from ever noticing her, because once they noticed you they'd be sure to remember you.

Misao felt the cold dread build up inside her, remembered that grin that Aoshi had given, and wondered what Yumi had said. And all Misao could do was drop her head upon the lunch table and murmur, "Why me?"

That was something that Misao Makimachi would be saying a lot of in the months to come…

AN: This is going to be a story about Misao and Aoshi (mainly, but we will have Kaoru and Kenshin, and the others too, but it's really a M/A fic). Our favorite couple ^_~! Oh, and by the way, if anyone has a similar fanfiction, sorry ~ but I had no idea!

Misao may have been a little OOC in this chapter, but oh well! Guys there is something I want to make very clear to you all – This is a FANFICTION! So not everything may be exactly like the magna or anime, so just so you know…

Anywho review! ^^ AND I may continue!
