A/N: I haven't written a new story in a while and I decided to take the opportunity! Since I'm kinda in one of those lovesick moods this story is perfect. I'm also going to include one or two quotes for every chapter. I'm going to shut up now…

Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin or the quotes posted :)

Mission Impossible: Finding Mr. Right

Chapter 1

Quote: "If love is never lost, then where can it be found?"

Misao slammed her books down on the lunch table and heavily sighed.

"Misao?" Aoshi couldn't help but give his best friend a quizzical glance.

"I hate the holidays!"

There school had just gotten back from winter break but that usually wasn't a normal reaction.

"Should I even ask?"

"Look around Aoshi, holidays are all about expressing your love and it makes me sick!"

Sano sat down at the wrong time.

"That's only because you're all alone!"

Misao glared at him with great scorn.

"Sano, you should really consider being considerate." Aoshi took a bite of the food in front of him.

"It's not that I haven't ever been asked out before it's just that I really have bad judgment and I don't want to get involved with the wrong guy." She sighed.

That's when the gears in Sano's head finally started to turn, unfortunately, not for the right reasons.

"Misao, I have a bet for you!" He declared.

Misao nodded and listened.

"As you know I know a few people and I also have pretty good judgment."

She nodded even if it wasn't true.

"If you go out with…Aoshi pick a number."

"Thirty-five."

"Yes, if you go out with thirty-five guys that I set you up with and you don't break dates, whine, or be rude, then I'll tell you who I think your best match is." Sano looked down at his watch. "All in time for the Valentine's Day dance too. It's the 4th now and I'll give you till February 11th."

Misao gave it a long hard thought. "Aoshi?"

"Don't drag me into this. It's your choice."

"I don't know Sano."

"Well if you don't tell me by the end of the day the bet's off the table." He stood and disappeared into the crowd.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the rest of the day Misao was rather moody. She just didn't know what to pick.

"I don't see what the big deal is. Maybe you'll meet someone you really like." Aoshi gathered some books out of his locker.

"I don't know! I really hate begin alone but I really want to find a good guy."

"It's your choice, just remember I'll always love you." He playfully winked and disappeared down the long hallway.

With a sigh she too headed off to class.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sano stood under the large maple tree after school, waiting for Misao.

"I'll take the stupid bet. What are the conditions?"

"Ok, you date all these guys until you find one you like. If you don't find one you like by the end of our time limit I'll tell you who your perfect match is but only if you don't pick one of the other candidates."

"Ok, when's my first date?"

"I have your schedule right here." Sano handed her a folder filled with profiles.

"Lucas Wan, emo, is into heavy metal and kissing." Misao skimmed through her first date which was that night at 7pm. They were all scheduled to be dinner at the Crystal Star Diner.

"Great, so if I break the conditions what do I owe you?"

"Trust me, if you go with my match it will be pay enough."

"If that's it Aoshi's going to take me home. See ya."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aoshi sat back in the driver's seat as Misao climbed in.

"I have to get ready for my first date, hurry!"

"Ok, ok." He started up the car and they left the lot.

"Maybe Sano should set you up with someone too." Misao smiled.

"No, I'm fine."

The ride was rather silent for the rest of the way.

Aoshi parked in his driveway and Misao ran home which was right next door.

"After all there's only one girl I want." He whispered to himself before heading inside himself.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misao decided a black shirt and a short magenta skirt would be perfect for the occasion.

She sat patiently in the booth closest to the door.

She immediately recognized him as he entered.

His hair was black with blue highlights and he had on black eye liner.

He sat down, a sly smile adorning his pale face.

"Hey." He said casually.

"Hi, I'm Misao."

"Lucas." He stuck out his hand.

They began to chat about things such as their interests and memories. Overall, Misao thought he was a pretty sweet guy but she had another thing coming.

Lucas had offered to take her home.

He turned off the car as he pulled into her driveway.

"Thanks." She smiled before reaching for the door.

"Wait." He grabbed a hold of her wrist and crashed her into him. His hands began to find their way under her shirt.

She pushed him off and dashed out of the car.

She let out a sigh of relief as she got inside.

What had Sano gotten her into?

Oh well, one down and only thirty-four to go.
