I do not own Rurouni Kenshin

ONE

"Argh.what am I going to do?" Megumi yelled to the room at large as she

fell back onto her bed and covered her face with her hands. "I can't believe

this is happening to me.it's like a bad dream coming true!"



"Oh come on, how bad could it be? I mean you get to hang out with one of

the most popular guys in school who also happen to be one of the richest! You

know how many girls would kill to be in your place right now?" Kaoru tried to

comfort her cousin but only got a glowering look instead.



"Yeah not to mention that he's snobby, conceited, spoiled beyond

redemption, pig-headed and the biggest jerk I've ever had the misfortune of

meeting.and don't you dare laugh at me!" Megumi warned as her cousin tried

to hide her smile behind her hands.



"Well you can't blame anyone for being the smartest girl in school so

naturally our dean would ask you to tutor our Mr. Sagara." Kaoru joked and

had to duck to escape the pillow that came flying at her. "Hey come on, would

it help if I said the dean is an ass for making you help Sanosuke pass his

classes?"



"No!" Megumi grumbled as she got up from her bed too agitated to stay in

one spot for long.



"Then I really don't know what to do to make you feel better," Kaoru replied

as she shrugged her shoulders.



"You could go kill him for me!"



"As much as I would like to get my hands on Sanosuke 'I'm too good to talk to

anyone but my reflection' Sagara, I'm afraid I would get kicked out of

school. You know the school already said that if I get into another fight this

month they'd expel me so sorry can't help you there." Kaoru reasoned with a

note of regret in her voice.



Although Megumi and Kaoru are cousins they are as different as night and

day. Megumi is quiet, smart, wears thick glasses and leaves her hair in a

sever bun while Kaoru from all outward appearances looks like a guy who's

has been malnourished all his life, is outspoken, and has gotten into as many

fights as she's gotten F's which is probably the only letter grade she's known

all her life.



It's not that Kaoru is stupid because between the two of them she is

actually the smarter one but she refuses to do work that she thinks are

useless and a waste of time. Instead she spends it doing the one thing she'd

always loved kicking the asses out of people she doesn't like.



"Why does it have to be Sanosuke? Why?" Megumi whined making Kaoru feel

uncomfortable.

"I'd thought you'd be excited to be offered such a job!"

"What are you talking about?"



"I mean, let's say you help out Sanosuke and he ends up not only passing but

getting all A's in his classes, won't that make feel good about yourself?"

"I guess so," Megumi said uncertainly. It would be cool if she was the one

who could get Sanosuke to finally do well in school but still the thought of

being cooped up in the library with him for at least a couple of hours a day

as he goes on and on about how great he is, is enough to make her want to

strangle him rather than tutor him.



"Well there's no point in yelling and hollering in your room, that won't change

anything! All you're doing is making me go deaf." Kaoru complained then had

to run out the room as Kaoru attacked her with more pillows.





At Sanosuke's mansion.



"Damn! What the hell is my shishou paying the school for if they're going to

force me to stare at some ugly girl for a couple of hours a day!" Sanosuke

yelled at his best friend since elementary school, Kenshin.



"They're only trying to help you. I mean this is only your second year of School

and already you're failing practically all your courses!" Kenshin said

absentmindedly as he watched the wrestling on TV.



"Well the least they could do is find me someone good looking who I could at

least stare at since I won't be looking at my textbook anyway. But that

f**cked up school decided to stick me with Megumi instead, the living replica

of Pippy Longstocking. Man, what the hell am I going to do?"



"She's not all that bad!" Kenshin tried to find things about her that might

appeal to Sano but knew that it was hopeless. Sano preferred girls who were

tall, has an hourglass figure, the face of an angel and the IQ of a bird. He

finds girls who are too smart are extremely manipulative and cunning making

them skillful gold diggers. So he'd always liked girls who are not too bright

being too dumb to try to pull anything off and making him look like a fool.

Megumi has been the only girl that Kenshin had ever met that is completely

one hundred percent opposite to everything that Sano finds attractive in a

girl. She is small, extremely plain to look at and has an IQ that would make

Albert Einstein blush.





"Are you kidding me? Are we talking about the same Megumi, the one with

the eyeglasses that are as thick as the school's textbooks? The one that

always have a frown on her face like someone in her family died or

something? Man I think you need your eyes checked." Sano yelled frustrated

with the situation.



"Okay, okay I got your point! But there's nothing you can do about it now can

you? So why don't we just forget about this for a while and go out?" Kenshin

suggested suddenly feeling restless.



"Fine, oh but we have to pass by the flower shop." Sano said as they made

their way downstairs.



"Why?"



"There's this new girl I just met yesterday. I've decided she gets to be my

next girl-friend." Sano said matter-of-factly.



"What about Wendy? I thought you guys were going out?"



"Like you said, we were going out.I'm getting tired of her."

"You've only been dating for two weeks! You're bored already? What makes

you think that this new girl would be interested in you anyway?" Kenshin

asked angrily as he looked at Sano. Even though he and Sano are best

friends sometimes he gets pissed at the way Sano thinks so highly of

himself.



"I KNOW she would be interested because we're talking about me here.

Haven't I gotten any girl I've always wanted?" Sano snickered and got a

glowering look from Kenshin. "What?"





"Man, one of these days I swear some girl is going break your heart and I'd

be lying if I say that you don't deserve it!"



"Whoa, what's up with you anyway? Like as if you haven't broken a few hearts

yourself!" Sano said indignantly. He has to admit that he is a player but

Kenshin is just as bad as he is considering he is also one of the most popular

guys in school too. Kenshin has been the only guy in School who could match

Sano's good looks, wealth and popularity so he was glad that they were best

friends or else he would have a hell of a time beating the crap out of him.

"Just forget it, come on let's go," Kenshin muttered as he made his way

towards his car. "Are you coming with me or driving in your own?"



"Actually I just bought myself a new car and I want to test it out today!"

Sano bragged opening his garage.



"Man, I would get a new car too but I've ran out of space at my place!"

Kenshin complained as he followed Sano to look at his new car.
