*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

::: smack :::

The sound broke the tranquility of the small simple bedroom well late into the night. A petite figure could be seen slouching over a small desk in the corner of the room. She had long braided hair that was well reached past her waist, and she was dressed in a large white T-shirt and gray sweat pant. In her hand she held a pencil that was scrabbling on a notebook. Her desk was covered with books of different size from large as a brick to slim as a paper, but mostly it was books that were the size of Texas. To her right she had a large mug of coffee to accompany her in her late night study.

::: smack :::

Misao slapped herself again to remind her that she needs to stay awake and review for the big exam that was coming up. It was impossible to keep her large blue-green eyes open, and her eyelids felt like a thousand tons. She just wanted to throw all those damn books out the window so she could get some sleep. Maybe it'll work because she does live up on the third floor. Hmm.it would be a long way down wouldn't it?

'Pft, yeah right.' Misao thought to herself as she desperately tried to cram in some more information and work before it was too late. However, just as she was finished writing a sentence or so the words in the book seem to become blurry and they seem to be jumping around all the time making it difficult for her to read. She shake her head several times to clear it away, but then it just kept coming back.

'Oh my god, I think I'm losing it.' Misao pondered and drank down a large amount of coffee. She had never drunk coffee in her life. Well, not until she entered college, and good lord it just happens to become her new best friend keeping her awake in the most impossible hours. Yet, right now her new best friend seems to not be working because soon Misao's head was dropped dead on the table and you could here a 'thud' as her head hit the table. It was official, Misao just passed out.

It was now morning, and the sunshine through Misao's bedroom window shinning on her figure in the corner. Another loud sound from outside her room broke through the quietness of it.

"MISAO-CHAN!" Kaoru screamed busting through the door. Yet still the lazy Misao refused to answer and continue sleeping. Irritated having to call her every morning, Kaoru took her house slip and fling at Misao's head causing her to shoot up right from her position.

"Get up Misao-chan or you're going to be late." Kaoru said as she closed the door. The still sleepy Misao with her dazed face and a piece of her paper stuck to the side of her face slowly lowered her head on the table. Kaoru having knowing Misao so well once again opened the door and threw a basketball that was lying on the floor at Misao's head.

::: BAM !:::

The impacted of the hard ball made Misao cried in pain as she stood up and turned to face Kaoru.

"Kaoru-chan, you're going to die now! How dare you throw that thing at me!" Misao yelled as she pushed her chair back and storming towards Kaoru at the door.

"I told you to get up. And I'm tired of you not listening to me. What else am I suppose to do?" Kaoru asked innocently. Still Misao was charging at her and picking up another ball to hurl it at Kaoru so she could get a taste of her own medicine.

"Well, next time wake me up nicely!" Misao replied as she chucked the ball at the door. Kaoru seeing the ball flying toward her way backed away and closed the door in time as the ball slam against it and not her face.

"I'm going to be outside, and hurry up or I'll leave you behind." Kaoru said from outside the door and Misao could hear her footsteps fading away. Groaning to herself as she rubbed her head Misao took a look at the clock on her wall. "Ah, shit. Oh no!" Misao shouted as she realized that she had five minutes before she was really late. Damn she should have listen to Kaoru, but staying up late has really drained her. Gathering her books on the table into her bag she dashed out of her room into the bathroom. In two minutes she was out and getting dress. One minute later she was gone, and when she went outside she couldn't see Kaoru anywhere.

Obviously, Kenshin has already came and picked her up leaving Misao all alone to walk to school. Wasting no more time Misao headed out of the iron gate and headed for school. She has been living with Kaoru for a few years now ever since they both graduated high school. Since they were already best friends and going to the same university they decided to rent an apartment near school so that it would be easier. It was only a twenty minutes walk and the apartment was perfect for them. They would always walk together to school, but ever since Kaoru started seeing Kenshin, he has been picking her up all the time now. Kaoru seems to be staying at Kenshin's place more now a day than she is at home. Often Misao have to stay home alone because Kaoru was over at Kenshin. Sure enough, Kaoru announced that she would be moving in with Kenshin in a few days, and so she was gathering her things together. Misao didn't care because she was happy that Kaoru and Kenshin were finally together. Kaoru loved Kenshin ever since she saw him in high school, but never got a chance to tell him even when he graduated. Later, when Kaoru and Misao entered college they were able to meet again and told each other how they felt.

Misao had to thank the lord because everyday Kaoru would always appear depressed and never wanted to do anything. Always sticking around the house and never wanting to see that color the sky was. Misao was sick of it, but then Kenshin came to his sense and now Kaoru is as happy as ever. Misao was happy for her, now she actually wanted to go out which is good, but then you will always know that Kenshin will be there too. Those two are always together whenever they get the chance, and Misao enjoy seeing them together. You could see the serenity that they showed each other and the love that shined through their eyes. The passion and love that they share showed every time they are together. Sometimes she wished that she had someone too. Someone special that she could share her time with, that made her feel special and weird inside, to be able to understand her and she understand him, and for her to love and him to love her too in return. Yet she it scared her to be with someone because so many couples these days who only stayed together because the want to use each other or even thought they are together and seem happy they at once they would break apart and never speak to each other again. It seems like love is withering away and some are very rare to find love at all.

"Kaoru you're so lucky." Misao whispered softly to herself as she walked to her destination. Kaoru has always been the lucky one out of them both. She was also blessed with the prettier face and better brains. In all the years that Misao has known Kaoru she has known about a thousand guys that fell in love with her. Of course who wouldn't? With her beautiful sparkling blue eyes and dark silky hair, her perfect body that was not too tall nor too short nor to thin nor to fat, and her beautiful velvety skin. Guys drooled at the first sight of her. Beauty was not the only thing about her because she also has a very generous and good heart, and brains to boot. Kaoru has always been better than Misao in school because it was easier for Kaoru to memorize things once she read it and she read so much faster than Misao. It was much easier for her to keep up with school and not have such a difficult time like Misao, but one that Misao pride herself in was her athletic ability.

Misao is also quite a good student herself thought as she tried her very best in her work and study as hard as she can. She knows that she might not be smart as some people were, but she knows that if she tires hard enough and work long she would be just like them. Which is true because her grades are exceptionally high like Kaoru, and it was because of her hard work that she was able to earn a scholarship to attend school at all without paying for much. Misao worked hard for what she got and proud that she got them all by herself.

Misao's long braided hair danced left and right as she rushed too school wearing a white small, short sleeves T-shirt, a khaki pant that was a little baggy on her, pair of white sneaker, and all of her books are placed in a black side bad that she carried with her. Deciding that it would better to take a short cut because she need a little extra time once she arrives at school because there's an exam today in class and so Misao entered the ally that would lead her to her route.

Instantly, once Misao stepped into the ally she knew something was wrong. There was a chill that went up her spine that made her all her hair stand, which caused her to stop immediately. She searched around her surrounding to see if she could see that was it that was so wrong, but couldn't see anything. Nevertheless the feeling was still there. It made her uneasy as she once again double-checked this time not with her eyes. She closed her eyes and slowly breathing in and cleared her mind. She wanted to see if she could sense any dangerous ki around and sure enough true to her feelings she sense a ki not far above her. She looked up to she what it was and got ready to what was going to appear before her.
