Kaoru weaved through the crowd of people packed together at the center of the dance floor. The beat of the music was loud and she could feel the vibrations travel from her feet to her very ear drums. She was looking for Misao who had been the one to finally convince her to come clubbing and take a night off of work. However, as grateful as she felt toward Misao right now her patience was thinning. The whole atmosphere of the club was sending adrenaline running though her blood faster than her brother's jaguar (which hopefully he'd never realized she had raced in otherwise Sano might kill her).

Kaoru sighed in relief and regret when she made it out of the pack of people and to the bar in the corner where she had promised to meet Misao. She glanced at her reflection in the wall of mirrors behind the bar. Her onyx-black hair was neatly straightened and silky. Her smooth face which she had to admit looked too pale brought out her very bright blue eyes. She had used a small amount of makeup never having been the kind to actually know how much was supposed to be used. She had used blue eye shadow and a very light shade of red lip gloss. Her outfit wasn't designer but she knew when she met Misao or Megumi, for that matter, would actually compliment her choice of clothing. She was wearing a black tank top with highlights of silver and blue streaked across it and (unable to feel comfortable in a skirt) a pair of black denim capris that showed off her finely shaped legs.

'And Megumi said learning kendo since I was a child was a worthless attribute. Well I bet she doesn't have this body.' Kaoru thought smugly to herself. She was very prideful of her kendo style and profession.

She stomped down the heel of her black sandals in annoyance. Speaking of friends where were hers?

"I don't know where Kaoru is!" She heard a very familiar voice whine. She looked over her shoulder to see Misao at the bar glancing around. "I tried calling her but she probably couldn't hear her phone ring in here!" Misao huffed into the phone.

'There is only person that could irritate our genki Misao…she must be talking to Megumi.' Kaoru thought.

"Megumi I'll come back to the table after I find her!" Misao said before flipping her phone shut. Kaoru cringed. 'Megumi is going to be angry when we meet up. She absolutely loathes being hung up on.'

"Misao!" Kaoru shouted. The girl didn't hear her though. "Misao!" Kaoru yelled again.

Misao turned her head this way and that but she couldn't see Kaoru. 'Where is Kaoru? She promised to come tonight! I have to find her and bring her back to introduce her to Sano's friend when he shows up.'

"MISAO!" Kaoru shouted very loudly. Kaoru breathed a sigh of relief when the girl finally noticed her and started coming her way. She waited where she was at the bar for the girl.

"Where have you been Kaoru?" Misao said in an irritated tone.

'Great. Megumi left her in bad mood.' Kaoru thought to herself sourly. "Here. At. The. Bar. Where. You. Told. Me. To. Be." Kaoru bit out. "It just took you forever to notice me." She wasn't really annoyed with Misao. She was just frustrated she had been here this long already and she hadn't moved around yet. The plus to being single was she was free to do whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. Right now she wanted to dance.

'Speaking of single…' Kaoru looked behind and around Misao. Then she turned to look at a very confused Misao.

Misao opened her mouth to speak. "What wrong-"

"Where is Aoshi?" Kaoru asked. 'Misao never goes anywhere without her 'friend' Aoshi.' She thought to herself. The only time she had seen Misao without him was when they bumped into eachother at the women's gym for their weekly workouts. Karou was sure if Aoshi had the choice of coming. He would've come. He acted very stoic around everyone else but she could see through that façade. He liked Misao more then he let on. Kaoru had a feeling Misao knew this too. Why else would the genki girl stay single for so long when she could easily hook up with any guy. After all Misao had amazing charisma. She got along just about with everyone.

"Not here. He said he didn't feel like going out tonight." Misao answered in a bored tone.

Kaoru rolled her eyes. "How long have you been here?" Kaoru asked.

Misao gave her a skeptical look. "Maybe half an hour?" she answered unsure.

"He's here." Kaoru replied. She glanced around looking for the tall dark man. She'd find him eventually or rather he'd find them.

"What?" Misao exclaimed, clearly the girl had actually thought he'd really stay home.

"Please Misao," Kaoru pleaded. "You and I both know Aoshi. He won't let you go anywhere too long alone. He's too protective of you. "

They both jumped when they heard a low chuckle. "I don't think you know me at all Kaoru." Aoshi said as he walked into their sight. The club was lit specifically for dancing and well it was very hard to see anyone clearly until they were up close.

Kaoru shot him a glare. 'Oh yes I do ice-man. I know you don't want to look like you care too much because it'd be out of your character but I know you care a lot about Misao. You can hide it from her because she's clouded her perception with her feelings but I can see how much she means to you.'

"Aoshi I thought you wanted to stay at home tonight!" Misao said looking at him confusedly but the tone of her voice betrayed her as it was laced with excitement. She was glad he came, simple as that.

"I changed my mind." Aoshi said monotonously. Misao almost squealed.

"Do you want me to show you where we are sitting?" Misao asked Aoshi. "I was just going to show Kaoru."

Kaoru smiled. The girl was love-sick. She wished she had had better luck with men like Misao did. She just didn't though and that's why she had avoided coming here. She had just broken up with her last boyfriend four months ago. It had been a nasty break up. The guy had the nerve to sleep with another woman and try to get away with it. Kaoru hated the lying cheating bastard. She gave him a shiner as a reminder of her when she officially ended their relationship. If he couldn't be patience and wait for her to be ready then who cares about him? Kaoru just wanted to wait for the right time. In truth she was still a virgin even after high school, college, and the years following. She was just never ready for that stage yet. Or she hadn't met the right guy yet. She knew when she did she would. She kept her inexperience a secret from everyone including Misao. It would be very embarrassing to mention and admit. She was shocked everyone believed she had actually had sex before though. No one ever thought otherwise. She didn't even say anything about having sex once in her life but they all assumed she had. Maybe it was because she was so old they just assumed somewhere along the way she had had a boyfriend who she was committed to. Well they assumed wrong but Kaoru was glad that she never had to make up a story though.

"Aoshi could you please get Kaoru and I drinks? It's so hot in here and I'm feeling thirsty." Misao asked sweetly. Without a word but a curt nod Aoshi left. Kaoru shook her head. She wouldn't be able to stand a guy like that. 'He's so inexpressive. He'd drive me mad.'

"Kaoru what are you thinking?" Misao asked noticing her spacing out.

"Nothing I just want to go out there and dance." Kaoru said pointing her thumb over her shoulder at the dance floor.

Misao laughed. "You're always so eager."

'I'm always so eager? And this coming from Ms. Hyper genki herself.' Kaoru thought silently laughing to herself.

Misao looked at the long line at the bar. Aoshi would be gone awhile. "Alight Kaoru we have time for one dance before Aoshi get's back."

Kaoru smiled and they both grabbed each other's hands and weaved into the crowd. Kaoru and Misao were usually each other's dance partners. It got them more attention then dancing with other guys anyway. They had done it in college and high school. It was a perfected science. They only danced together for a few minutes before the song ended. Misao was just heading back to the bar and Kaoru pulled her back.

"One more song Misao!" Kaoru pleaded. She just wanted to dance until some of her pent up adrenaline was used. Then she could wait until the others wanted to go.

Misao pondered. Suddenly the next song blasted on. It was "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry. A mischievous grin broke out on Misao's face. Kaoru didn't like that look.

This was never the way I planned.

"I remember this song! Don't you Kaoru?" Misao asked that mischievous glint still in her eyes.

Of course Kaoru remembered this song. Back in college she had dared Misao to kiss a random girl. She didn't think she would. Misao surprised her and just went right up to the first girl she saw and kissed her right there. "Yeah…" Kaoru mumbled.

"I knew you would." Misao smiled. "Alright last time I checked it was my turn to dare you."

"That was years ago Misao!" Kaoru whimpered.

"Are you chickening out Kaoru?" Misao asked knowing exactly what the effect would be. Kaoru never backed out of anything.

Kaoru glared. "No!"

"Good because I'm daring you to kiss the next girl I point out. Unless you're a chicken?" Misao said smoothly.

Not my intention.

"Fine I'm game. Who's the poor victim?" Kaoru asked.

"Hmm…" Misao pondered searching the crowd. She noticed a mane of long red hair. "Found her! You're going to kiss the redhead over there!" She said pointing to a redhead facing the other way.

Kaoru gulped as a blush spread across her cheeks. She had to hope the woman wouldn't hit her. 'Wait why am I so scared? I'm Kaoru Kamiya! I'll show Misao just how it's done.' Kaoru thought striding over to the redhead.

I got so brave, drink in hand.

She was almost there. The woman was too busy looking the other way. This would be easy Kaoru would take her off guard and just turn her around and smack a kiss on her lips. It'd be easy. What had she been worried about? Confidence flooded through her now and the music only elevated it further.

Lost my discretion.

She was a foot away.

It's not what, I'm used to just wanna try you on.

She stopped and breathed once.

I'm curious for you.

'Here goes…'

Caught my attention.

She grabbed the stranger's shoulder and turned her around. Without any hesitation she pulled her face toward her own and kissed. The music blasted in her ears as it reached its first boom she thought she heard Misao shriek. She almost smiled smugly but her lips were busy. She suddenly pulled away. Crossing her arms she turned without looking at the woman to stare right at Misao in triumph.

However when she looked Misao's face was drained of color. 'What's her problem?' Kaoru thought. Misao made odd crazy gestures. Kaoru was confused. 'What the hell?'

She heard a cough behind her. She turned to face the woman.

'Oh god.' She thought dreadfully. Right behind her was no woman.

He had long bright red hair and was wearing a black shirt unbuttoned to reveal part of his very flat masculine chest. He had a sharp face and steely amber eyes. Kaoru shivered. He was definitely a man. He stared at her with smug confidence like he thought she had kissed him out of attraction. She hated men like him.

She was going to kill Misao.
