A/N: I've had this idea for a Rurouni Kenshin higschool story for a long time and now I'm going to write it, cause I love RK and I know alot about it. Yeah I know another highschool fic funny neh? Also sorry if there are some spelling mistakes I don't have spell check which sucks, . but please review!
Info: Okay lets get some things staight Shishio is not burnt to a crisp, him Kenshin and Sano are best friends. They all live in the same house, so I guess that's it, on with the story!
Kenshin Himura awoke to the sun shining in his eyes. He groaned and rolled over wanting to go back to sleep when he remembered something. Yesterday was the last day of summer vacation, his junior year of highschool started today along with some of his friends. School by day sword training by night his life was always the same, nothing was different or that's what he thought at least little did he know he's life was about to change, big time.
He yawned and stretched throwing his legs on the other side of the bed. He walked over and pulled back the curtains earning a groan from a couple of his roomates. His two best friends Sanosuke Sagara and Makoto Shishio. His other friend Aoshi Shinomori was lucky he had his own room, so did most of the girls except Kaoru and Yumi. He heard a loud yawn and turned to see his friend Sanosuke sitting up and rubbing his head. Of course it would be Sano not Makoto he loved to sleep. You could bring a circus in the room and he still wouldn't get up. Sometimes Yumi would have to come in and flip him off his matress.
Sanosuke grinned evily and walked into their bathroom, one thing that was nice about the room they shared, they had a bathroom in it, it was very conveniet. Sanosuke grabbed a glass from the shelf and filled it with water, he came back out and walked over to Shisho's bed.
Kenshin shook his head his red bangs swaying from side to side across his face, "I wouldn't do that Sano." He warned.
Sano smirked pouring the water on Shisho's head. He started to laugh, "That should wake his lazy ass up."
Makoto Shishio awoke with a start, he fell off his bed blankets and all. Sanosuke burst out laughing, even Kenshin couldn't hold it in anymore.
Shishio glared up at Sano through his long soaking wet black hair, that fell infront of his eyes. Sanosuke started laughing again, "You look like a dumb sheep dog."
Shishio stood up and walked into the bathroom, "Yeah yeah it'll be outta my face in a minute."
Sanosuke sighed and sat on his bed, "Well back to school today."
"Why do you sound so glum usually your happy when school starts to see if you can kick any macho guys ass." Shishio said from the bathroom. He grabbed a hair tie and pulled his hair back into a high poneytail. He walked out of the bathroom, "There better now do I look like a sheep dog?"
"No...but you look like a palm tree."
They heard a knock on the door Misao's voice echoed through it, "You guys better hurry up breakfast is ready!" She screamed skiping off down the hallway.
"Did it ever cross your mind that she was utterally annoying?" Sano asked.
"Yep." Makoto said throwing on his school shirt.
Kenshin shook his head but smiled, "You guys are too hard on her, one of these days she's gonna do a big favor for you two."
Shishio and Sanosuke looked at each other, "I doubt it." They said in unison walking out of the room.
Kenshin once again shook his head, he grabbed his hair tie and walked out the door, little did he know that someone had been watching them the whole time.
He walked down the hall the smell of pancakes, eggs, and sausage filled the air. He walked into the kitchen to find Kaoru and Yumi making breakfast. He sat at the table and grabbed a pancake from the plate. Sitting across from him Aoshi Shinomori had been eating quietly when he felt a cold shiver run down his spine.
Misao looked at him worried, "Aoshi what's wrong?"
Aoshi shook his head coming out of his daze, "It's nothing it just felt as if someone was watching us."
They all looked at him usually when Aoshi felt some kind of premonition or feeling he was right, and they didn't take it lightly.
Kaoru sighed, "Well we better get going or we're going to be late." They all placed their dishes in the sink and headed out the door. Two gleaming eyes watched them leave from the trees.
When they got to school it was really busy. People finding out what lockers they had what classes they were taking. They all got their lists of what their classes were and which teachers they got. All of them had two classes together, because Aoshi nor Megumi had yet taken this class. P.E. and chemistry. Everyone loved P.E. well everyone except Yumi, they all hated chemistry, and what made it worse was that was their first class.
"You can't be serious." Sano said with disgust, "I only have three classes with Mako, two classes with Ken..." He stared at the paper more. He raised an eyebrow, "Funny, I have all my classes with Megumi." He looked at her, "Did you fail some classes last year?"
Megumi rolled her eyes, "No I haven't taken these yet."
Kenshin looked at his list, he had all his classes with Kaoru, two classes with Shishio and Sanosuke together, a couple with Yumi and Misao together, and of course the two classes with everyone. He stumbled foreward when someone bumped into him.
The young girl turned around bowing repeatedly, "I'm so sorry I wasn't looking at where I was going." She looked up. No one had ever seen her before she must've been a new student. She had long blonde hair tied in a low poneytail, bright aqua blue eyes she was pretty short for her age.
"That's okay. You must be new to the school, my name is Kenshin Himura and I'm a junior what's yours?"
The girl blushed at his kindness, "Oh it's Mari, Mari Ichikawa, and I'm also a junior."
Kenshin smiled, "Well it's nice to meet you Miss. Ichikawa I hope we can be friends. I suppose I should introduce the gang." He turned to introduce everyone, "Those two guys over there talking they're my best friends Sanosuke Sagara is the one with the red headband, and the guy with the high poneytail is Makoto Shishio. The guy over by the tree he's a good friend of mine he's a senior and his name is Aoshi Shinomori." He turned towards the girl who were chating away, "I'm sure you'll get along with the girls, Kaoru Kamiya is the one with the big blue bow in her hair. Megumi always leaves her hair down, the hyperactive one is Misao Makimachi, she's Aoshi's girlfriend. The other girl is Yumi Kommagata, she's Shishio's girlfriend. I know this might seem hard to believe but were all good friends and we live in the same house."
Mari's eyes went wide, "Y-you all live in the same house!"
"Yes were all very close."
"Well do you think I could hang out with you guys just so I can get to know the school more."
"Sure c'mon let's go meet everyone."
"Okay I'll be there in a min I have to call someone!" Mari smirked and grabbed her cell phone. She dialed a number, "Hey it's me. Yes he totally fell for it. Sure I'll play this for a little while longer. It's actually quite fun playing an innocent girl who doesn't know anything." She grabbed a kunai from her bag and twirled it around her finger, "Heh but wait until they see how non-innocent I am." She said smiling evily.
A/N: Uh-oh this Mari girl isn't all she says she is so please review and tell me what you think the second chap will be put up shortly. Ja-ne!
