Hey, this is my first story, so I could sure use some

pointers! I don't own RK and what not, so no law

suits please!

Part 1.

Kaoru dragged Misao down the street by the wrist.

Misao still couldn't believe what she was doing.

FIRST OF ALL, it was a Wednesday (a school day), and

the two girls were two hours away from home to watch

The Starting Line in concert! They had planned this

out a week before, but for some reason, Misao had

always pretended that they would never go and Kaoru

wasn't COMPLETELY serious about seeing a punk-rock

concert on a school night...but NOOOOO, here they

were...walking the streets of an unfamiliar crowded

city only a block away from the Rialto Theater.

Misao took a deep breath as they jumped in line

with the rest of the punk-rockers. To tell the truth,

Misao wasn't a real fan of PUNK music and such, but

Megumi and Kaoru were obsessed with the band, and

Misao didn't find them repulsive in any way, so she

pitched in to buy the tickets. Megumi couldn't come

because of a Cross Country competition, but that

didn't stop Kaoru. Instead, Kaoru found them a ride

with two boys from their small town (Sano and

Soujiro). Outside the theater, the four looked around

and grinned in anticipation.

"Oy, Weasel! You're too quiet! Aren't you

excited!?!?" Misao jumped as Sano started to tickle

her sides. In an instant, she had caught Sano's wrist

and twisted his arm.

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I GOTTA TELL YA??? IF YOU

TICKLE ME ONE MORE TIME....." Misao was cut off as

Sano spun around and pinned her arms behind her.

"THAT'S THE WEASEL GIRL I KNOW!" Misao grunted

in frustration and Kaoru giggled at the sight the two

were making. Soujiro split the two up (with his usual

stupid smile on his face). Misao leaned her back up

against the glass of an art shop behind her. She bit

her lip and let guilt set into her at the thought of

lying to Jiya. She couldn't believe she did it. She

couldn't believe Jiya had BELIEVED her when she said

she was leaving for a school "business convention"!

Misao quickly shook the thought away. If she was

going to sneak out for the night to enjoy a rock

concert, by god, she was gonna enjoy a rock concert!

"Misao! Hurry up, the line's moving!" Misao

blinked a couple of times before running to catch up

with her friends. She didn't know the two boys that

well, she used to talk to Soujiro a lot when she was

younger, but he became "popular" and that ended that.

Sano was more of Megumi's friend, but he was always

friendly (a little TOO friendly at times). Kaoru was

thrilled to be there. They had been friends for as

long as Misao could remember, and for some reason, the

usually "shy" Kaoru was glowing, a totally different

girl than the Kaoru Misao was used to. In a good way.

Sano and Soujiro went up to check if their

"will-call" tickets were up there and Kaoru started

jumping up and down from excitement. Kaoru looked

great, she had her hair in her usual high ponytail,

and she was wearing a light-green t-shirt and a pair

of worn jeans. Misao had her usual braid and an Ernie

t-shirt that read "Have You Seen My Rubber Duckie?",

it was cute. She had a tight pair of jeans on too,

and Misao had a bad feeling that they would annoy her

through out the concert.

"Misao, we should make a deal, okay?"

"What kind of deal are we talkin' about?" Kaoru

grinned evilly.

"Well, we should TOTALLY not be ourselves,

AND...we should make out with total strangers,

okay????" Misao's eyes widened in shock. Did Kaoru

just say she wanted to make out with a complete

stranger??? All Misao could do was nod. The line

started moving and Sano and Soujiro were waiting at

the entrance with their tickets. Misao bounded into

the entrance room and all traces of her guilt

disappeared as she shook a midget security guard's

hand. The other three laughed hysterically...and THAT

was when Kaoru gasped. Misao spun around to see her

friend wide-eyed and frozen in place. Misao waved a

hand in front of the girl and Kaoru stood motionless.

"Oy, what's wrong with the racoon?" Sano asked

as Misao and Soujiro shrugged. A few moments passed

before Kaoru lifted her arm up to point at a spikey

red haired stranger across the room. He wasn't too

bad looking, and he had a Starting Line t-shirt on.

Misao blinked in confusion and decided to approach the

stranger and find out why he had paralyzed her best

friend. Suddenly, Kaoru snapped out of her trance and

tackled the other girl to the floor before Misao could

"embarass" her. Unfortunately, it only caught the

man's attention and he ran up to the two girls

sprawled out across the floor.

"Kaoru-dono, is that you???" He helped her up

and left Misao (with dizzy eyes) on the ground.

"Hai Kenshin, I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER!"

Kaoru threw her arms around the man and Sano and

Soujiro had sweat drops appear above their heads.

Misao coughed and Kenshin's eyes widened as he

realized he had left her on the floor to be trampled

by wild punk-rockers. He quickly lifted the girl onto

her feet and Misao dusted herself off.

"Arigato, I'm Misao!" Kenshin shook her hand and

apologized profusely. Sano and Soujiro took this

moment to sneak off into the theater to watch the

first band perform. Misao grinned and dragged Kaoru

into the theater too. She (In turn) dragged Kenshin

in with them.

Misao was pushed forward by a herd of hormonal

teenage girls and could only wave to Kaoru and Kenshin

behind her. She stood on her toes and looked around

and found Sano waving at her to join him towards the

front (near the stage). Misao maneuvered herself

through the crowd and somehow managed to wedge herself

behind Sano and next to a crowd of VERY sweaty men.

Misao wasn't complaining TOO much, because some of

them were pretty hot.

The first couple of bands were grand! Misao was

drenched in sweat (most of which wasn't hers, but

gathered from the fans jumping around her). Sano was

too busy crowd surfing to notice, and Soujiro was

practically ON the stage...headbanging with a stupid

smile that only caused Misao to smile. She was having

a blast, but she still felt pretty guilty about lying

to Jiya.

THAT was when she felt it. Misao looked over her

shoulder to see a HUGE man behind her, who was VERY

sweaty too. OBVIOUSLY, this man was pretty "excited"

to be there. She could feel "something" poking her in

the back, and Misao tried to act as though she didn't

notice. 'Maybe he'll just move away if I ignore him'

she thought to herself. But after about 5 minutes of

practically "bum-rape", the man started to put his

hands on Misao's hips. That was about ALL that Misao

could take, Misao threw her elbow back and felt it

connect with his nose. She looked over her shoulder

again to see him retreating to the back of the room in

agony. Misao grinned but heard a soft "chuckle" from

someone behind her.

There he was, the most GORGEOUS man Misao had

ever laid eyes on. He was tall, and MYSTERIOUS! His

black hair covered up most of his eyes, but Misao

could see a glimmer of amusement in them. He was

dressed in a pair of baggy black jeans and a black AFI

t-shirt. Misao was so caught up in the sight of him,

she didn't see the crowd surfer coming towards her and

was kicked in the head. When she stood back up, the

man was gone, and her head hurt like hell.

'Damnit! I didn't even catch his name!' Misao

thought about it for a while, and just couldn't

understand how she heard him "chuckle" over the

blarring music coming from the speakers and

amplifyers. She shook her head and continued to jump

with the crowd as Kaoru and Kenshin fought through the

crowd to join her.

"HEY!!!" Misao spun around and smiled as she

found Kaoru wrapped up in a protective hug from

Kenshin. For some reason, Misao felt that they were

right for each other, so she didn't offer to elbow him

in the nose to console her friend. Kaoru started to

shout something to Misao, but it was too loud in the

room that Misao could only shake her head in

confusion. Kaoru pointed in the other direction and

Misao saw Sano waving at them. He was RIGHT in front

of the band with Soujiro. Misao couldn't pass this

up, The Starting Line was about to perform and they

were the last band of the night. She had to make sure

that evey minute of this night would last forever.

Misao held onto Kaoru's hand for dear life and

dragged the "couple" with her until they were all

leaning up against the railing that separated the

raging fans from the bands. The Starting Line grabbed

their instruments and the crowd started to scream. A

mosh pit broke out and Sano, Misao, Kaoru and Kenshin

were thrown to the side. Misao laughed at Sano's

angered face. That was when she heard it again, a

faint laugh. Misao looked in front of her and found

the tall man from before. He had his hands in his

pockets, and he was basically still, except for the

slight head banging motions that went along with the

beat from the drums. You couldn't tell that he was

laughing, or even HAPPY, but for some reason, Misao

had a feeling that he was concentrating on her.

Kaoru must have noticed her friend's reaction to

the sight of the "god" in front of her. She tapped

Misao's shoulder and Misao didn't even notice.

"HE'S HOT!" The man looked over his shoulder and

smirked at Kaoru. Kaoru's eyes widened once she

realized he had heard her. "I MEAN, IT'S HOT IN HERE!

YEAH!" Misao giggled and started to jump with the

crowd. Kaoru was thoroughly embarassed and motioned

to Misao that she and Kenshin were going to the back

where it was cooler. Misao nodded and scooted up

closer to the guy. Misao felt alone for a minute, but

then saw the huge Sano about two people away from her.

'I've got to do it. Really, imagine how jealous

Kaoru would be if I could tell her I made out with the

hottest man to EVER walk the face of the earth!'

Misao sat there and contemplated whether or not she

should kiss the man in front of her or not.

"WHO ARE YOU HERE WITH?" He looked over his

shoulder to her and smiled, for some reason, the smile

caught Misao off guard. Had she met this man

somewhere before?

"MY TWO SISTERS." Misao smiled. 'YES! HE ISN'T

HERE WITH A GIRL!' The crowd started to get rowdy and

the next thing she knew, Misao was smashed up against

his back. The man was like a tower compared to her,

but she was entoxicated by his scent. He was sweaty,

yes, but he still smelled GREAT! She apologized

softly and he shrugged a silent "It's okay" to her.

Misao couldn't believe he had heard her over the

music.

This was it. Misao had no other choice, it was

NOW or NEVER, if she waited one minute longer, someone

might just come in between them and it would be a

waste of time. In a moment of sheer courage, Misao

reached up and tapped his shoulder.

He spun around and held all of his attention on

her. Misao was caught off guard by this and forgot to

breathe. He blinked for a moment and Misao realized

that there was no turning back at this point. Misao

bit her lip and then shouted:

"DO ME A FAVOR!" The guy cocked his head a bit

and shook his head.

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Misao looked away for a

brief moment and thought about running back to find

Kaoru, but stopped herself.

"DO ME A FAVOR!!!!!" The man turned a bit

instead of looking over his shoulder and leaned his

head in closer to her.

"I STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Misao couldn't wait

any longer, one more minute and she would lose her

nerve. In desperation, Misao screamed:

"KISS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Somehow,

that command was louder than the first two and he

leaned back in shock. He blinked at her and nodded

his head, almost as if asking for confirmation as to

what she had just said. Misao didn't know what else

to do. She placed her hands on the side of his face

and pulled him towards her, smashing her lips onto

his.

A billion thoughts ran through her mind. 'Maybe

I should just TELL Kaoru that I made out with the hot

guy, I mean, this was just as great! I can't believe

I just did this! I mean, I can't believe I'M DOING

THIS! I can't believe he didn't pull away!' THEN,

her thoughts were disrupted by the feeling of his

tongue running across her lips, almost begging her to

open her mouth for him. Misao lost all feeling in her

legs, and if the crowd wasn't so close together, she

surely would have fallen over. She opened her mouth

and felt his tongue sliding around, battling hers.

Misao's tongue went numb and she fell into his chest.

Yes, he had completely turned around and was facing

her. He held her up and Misao pulled back to breathe.

BOTH of them were completely out of breath. Misao

smiled and thanked him silently and he could only nod

before Misao took off running to find Kaoru in the

back of the room. Misao tried to run gracefully, but

tripped and then fell onto a complete stranger. She

jumped up as fast as she could and continued to flee

with a new found sense of confidence and anxiety all

rolled into one.

Little did she know, Aoshi watched her the entire

time, a smirk on his face, and his heart racing.



Is this completely lame?????? TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS!

I usually START to write a fanfic, but stop because I

don't like where it's going, and I never post it cuz

i'm a chicken! The only reason I even posted THIS one

was because it was inspired by what I did on Wednesday

at a concert, except.........I don't know the man's

name. I never do things that crazy, and this man was

EXTREMELY hot too! (though NO ONE compares to

Aoshi)...IF YOU'RE READING THIS, AND I KISSED YOU AT

THE RIALTO...E MAIL ME AND TELL ME YOUR NAME!!!!!
