Kay-san: Konnichiwa minna-san! This is my second attepmpt at a Rurouni Kenshin fic, and hopefully it will get more reviews

then my other one. This will be kinda in modern times so they have phones and stuff, ok? It is also my second songfic.

And much better layout than the other, i can guarantee. Well wish me luck cuz here we go! this'll be one heck of a ride!

"What? Really? Yes, We'll be there! Ok, see u there!"Kaoru hung up the phone with Tae, who had just informed her that tomorro

night the Akobeko would have its first official Kareoke Night. It was tomorrow night, and started at 5, ending at midnight.

It just so happened that Misao and Aoshi would be coming later today, so they could come too.

*KOARU'S P.O.V.*

It's dinner time now, and everyone's here. I think it's a good time to tell everyone about Kareoke Night. "Minna-san, i have

an announcement"i say loudly to get everyone's attention. "What is it Kaoru-san?"Misao asked. "Tae is having a kareoke night

tomorro and i was wondering if u all wanted to come"i announced.

*MISAO'S P.O.V.*

Kareoke? This is perfect. "Hai Kaoru-san, I'll come"i say with a smile. This is exactly what i need. I can't wait.

*NORMAL POV***

"Hai I'll come, that i will!"came Kenshin's cheerful reply. Yahiko and Sano agreed as well. Aoshi still hadn't said a word.

"Will u join us Aoshi-dono?"asked Kenshin. "Please Aoshi-sama? Will u come?"said Misao with an almost pleading look. Finally

Aoshi gave a slight nod to indicate that he would join them.

~*~*~NEXT DAY, AROUND 4:30~*~*~

"Ok, ready to go sing Misao-san?"Kaoru asked her younger friend. Kaoru had on a simple dress decorated with cherry blossoms.

The sleeves were transparent kind of material. Her midnight black hair had red ribbons tied in, and a cherry blossom behind

her left ear. The rest of her hair cascaded down her back.

Misao was wearing a navy blue sleevless dress that had a tie around her waist that was crulean blue. Her hair was in its

usual braid, only some ribbons matching her dress tied in. She had some earings, a necklace, and some braclets on that were

all gold. With a sigh, Misao says"Hai Kaoru-san, I'm ready. Let's go". By now she has put on her usual smile.

The whole gang walked through the streets, minus Sano who was riding over on his motorcycle(i always thought he should have

one). When they got there, a small crown was already starting to gather inside. Tae walked on the stage and asked who would

like to go first. Many people raised their hands. Tae said everyone who wanted to sing, sign the song and their name on the

paper. Misao and Kaoru and many others signed up.

*MISAO'S P.O.V.*

It was around 10 when Tae announced Misao would be singing next. "Go Misao!"her friends cheered. Misao walked onto stage,

took a deep breath, and waited for the music to start.

"are u aware of what

u make me feel, baby

right now i feel invisible to u

Like im not real

Don't u feel me lock

my arms around u

Why'd u turn away

Here's what i have to say

I was left to cry there

Waiting outside there

Grinning with a lost stare

that's when i decided

Why should i care

cuz u werent there

when i was scared

i was so alone

you need to listen

im startin to trip

im losin my grip

and im in this alone

am i just some chick

u place beside u

to take somebody's place

when u turn around

can u recognise my face

u used to loveme

u used to hug me

but that wasnt the case

everything wasn't ok

I was left to cry there

waiting outside there

grinning with a lost stare

that's when i decided

Why should i care

cuz u werent there

when i was scared

i was so alone

u need to listen

i'm startin to trip

i'm losing my grip

and im in this thing alone

Crying out loud

I'm crying out loud

Crying out loud

I'm crying out loud

Open ur eyes

Open up wide

I was left to cry there

waiting outside there

grinning with a lost stare

that's when i decided

Why should i care

cuz u werent there

when i was scared

i was so alone

u need to listen

i'm startin to trip

i'm losing my grip

and im in this thing alone"

By the end, i could feel the tears, hear them hitting the ground like a million stones of hail. Quikly i replaced the mic and

ren from the stage. Ran from the Akobeko. Ran from Aoshi-sama. I knew Kaoru and Kenshin and everyone was calling to me, but i

didn't hear what they said. i just kept running blindly.

All of a sudden two hands gripped my shoulders tightly. "Misao"said a voice sternly. I was afraid to look up, afraid that

they'd be mad with me. I just wanted to leave everything behind, to forget aoshi and everything to do with him. but i knew

it wasnt possible. SLowly, cautiously, i looked up, into amber eyes.

I gasped. "H-himora-san!"i stuttered. "Misao"he said in a deadly whisper. "Misao u can't just give up"he reasoned. After a

moment i said "i just did". "Misao-san, are u really giving up? Giving up on Aoshi-dono? After all these years..."he sighed.

"H-hai"i whispered"He doesn't love me". "Then i wish u luck in finding ur true love. Remember, if u need a place to stay ur

always welcome at the dojo. ja ne"(goodbye). And he walked off, back to the Akobeko. Just like that.

Tears splattered the ground beneath me as i took off at a run again. I went to the nearest apartment building to see if i

could stay there. There was no way i was staying at the dojo. he would definatly look for me there. But it happened that

there was one open apartment for me to stay in. Only one catch......

....I have a roommate. and it's not a girl.

kay-san: bwahahaha! i am evil! only i have absolutely no clue how i should make her roommate act. give me ideas! looks,

personality, characteristics, anything! arigatou! please review!
