Anyway, let's get on with the story... (By the way, this is my 1st RK fic...)

Chapter 1: Fighting 4

It was another cool Wednesday in Tokyo. The sun was shining bright as the petals of the cherry blossoms fly with the wind. Kaoru and Misao, two 3rd year students, were singing in the music room of Tokyo High along with their class. As they sang their last few lines the bell, signaling lunch, rang.

"What a work-out! I love singing that song!" Kaoru exclaimed, as we excited the building. "Of course you do... like you're the best singer in our class, Kaoru..." a young lady with her navy blue hair tied in a long braid said as she followed her in the school cafeteria. "Right... and pigs fly..." Kaoru laughed as we headed for the food line. 'But it's true though, I am a good singer. I just really didn't want to admit anything...'

After getting their food, Misao and Kaoru got a table for themselves. "Ugh! I hate raisins... Why do they have to make muffins with raisins?" Kaoru said in disgust as she turned to Misao "Hey! Do you want it? I don't like it..." "Sure! I'll take any food that's free!" Misao exclaimed, snatching the muffin from her best friends' hand and quickly gobbled it up.

All of a sudden, they heard the cafeteria door bursting open. "What was that?!" They both asked in surprise as four guys entered the cafeteria. Everyone suddenly became silent. "Oh great... it's the F4 gang..." Kaoru sighed, rolling her eyes.

The F4, or the Fighting 4, were the school's most popular and greatest fighters, and all of them are filthy rich. No one could say no to these guys, not even the teachers! They get to wear the clothes they like to wear, they get to skip their classes whenever they want to and they get to boss people around without the teacher getting to sermon them. Everyone's learned to fear them. Aoshi Shinomori, a tall black haired guy, Soujiro Seta, an every-smiling brown-haired guy, and especially their red-head leader with a cross mark on his cheek, Kenshin Himura were all great swordsmen. Sanosuke Sagara on the other hand was a brown, spiky haired guy who's also one great fist fighter.

"Oh no... I think they're going to challenge someone again..." Misao whispered to Kaoru as the F4 walked towards the other side of the cafeteria. "Oh my gosh... they're going to take on Yahiko..." Kaoru hissed in Misao's ear as the F4 stopped at Yahiko's table.

"Hey you! Kendo guy!" Sano said, cracking his knuckles. "What do you want, rooster head?!" Yahiko grumbled as he returned to eating his sandwich. "What?! What did you say you little brat?!" Sano exclaimed in rage as he tried to advance towards Yahiko. But then someone grabbed him and pulled him back.

"What the-?" Sano asked in surprise as he turned to see Soujiro's smiling face, "What are you smiling about?!" "Cool it, Sano..." Soujiro replied, "You haven't talked to him yet... wait for a while, okay?" "Humph..." Sano said as he turned his back on him and walked to the back of the group. "Forgive Sano... he doesn't have any manners..." Soujiro said, still smiling as he continued, "Anyway, what he was saying was-"

"I won't accept it okay?!" Yahiko exclaimed loudly as everyone in the cafeteria gasped. Suddenly, everyone started to talk in whispers.

"The guy's acting tough... don't you think?" Aoshi said, smirking as he eyed Yahiko coldly. "Humph... I can beat the heck out of that guy in seconds..." Sano bragged as he smirked at Yahiko. "Baka! I'd never battle with you no matter what you say?!" Yahiko angrily exclaimed as he threw his unfinished sandwich at Aoshi's face and stormed out the cafeteria.

Everyone talked louder after this. Everyone eyed the F4 gang closely now. "Oh no... Yahiko's gonna be in trouble..." Misao whispered to Kaoru, "He's gonna receive a red tag soon..." "Red tag?" Kaoru asked, "What was that again?"

"The red tag, you know... when one of the F4 members get annoyed at someone, they'd give that person a red tag at their lockers..." Misao said, searching the area to see if anyone was listening to them, "When a person receives a red tag... it's likely that the person would get to fight one of the F4 members' everyday..." "That's harsh..." Kaoru said, softly, eyeing the members of this powerful group, "I feel sorry for Yahiko..."

"I know..."

Aoshi threw away the food that was on his face into the trash. "That's it, can I pulverize him now?!" Sano exclaimed angrily as Aoshi held out his arm, stopping him. "No way... he's mine..." he snapped, coldly."What do you think, Mr. Himura?" Soujiro asked, turning to the red head man next to him.

"Have your way... I just want to eat now..." he sighed as he sat down on the empty table which was last occupied by Yahiko. "Oh... okay then, let me get my girl friend and we'll get us something to eat..." Sano said as he headed over to a dark-haired lady in another table. "I'll get us some drinks..." Aoshi said, sighing as he fixed his hair while heading for the vending machine.

"Everyone! Please return to what you were doing! 'Cuz there's nothing to see here any longer!" Soujiro said loudly to everyone in the cafeteria. Quickly, everyone looked away from them, not wanting to be in trouble. "Great! People here are so obedient!" Soujiro said, happily, sitting down next to Kenshin as he sighed, "Well, most of them anyway, don't you think so Mr. Himura?"

"Sure...sure... whatever..." he mumbled lazily.
