A/N: Ok so this is kind of going to be a Misao/Aoshi story arc. Going to be 3 parts I have planned. Hope you enjoy! Don't own either anime!

Misao had gotten out of her bed. She walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. Her blue hair was messy and she looked very tired. Yesterday was the worst day of her life. Her on again off again and finally (and hopefully permanently) on again boyfriend Aoshi Shinomori had become part of the football team… he became a jock and Misao expected the worst.

(Later…)

Misao put on her clothes and walked out of the house. She headed down to Kenshin's house. She knew that Kaoru would be there as well. Misao knocked on the door. Kenshin opened it.

"Misao! What's up?" Kenshin asked.

"Nothing much. I wasn't interrupting anything was I?" Misao said with a sheepish look on her face.

"Uh no, but we were about to go out to lunch so-"

"Great, so I'm not interrupting anything." Misao said. She entered the house.

Kaoru came from the kitchen. "Hey Misao!"

"Kaoru!" Misao said. She ran to her friend and began to sob.

"What's wrong with her?" Kaoru asked.

"I don't know! She seemed fine just a second ago!" Kenshin said.

"I just can't believe that my Aoshi would become a freakin jock!" Misao said while sobbing.

"Oh Misao. Aoshi loves you! Just because he's a jock, doesn't mean he's going to be some stuck up, flirtatious, secretive, back stabbing, two timing, bastard!" Kaoru said.

"I guess that's one way of putting it." Kenshin said.

"There's just one problem with that." Misao said.

"What's that?" Kaoru asked.

"Aoshi hasn't told me he loves me yet. He just really cares about me is all."

"What? You two have been on again off again since the ninth grade! He hasn't even come close to saying the word 'love' yet?"

"Why sound so shocked Kaoru? It's the same with you a Kenshin!" Misao said still sobbing.

Kaoru glared at her and then Kenshin who then looked away quickly while whistling.

"Ok, I'm going to let that slide Misao since you're in such a vulnerable position right now. But trust me. Aoshi does care about you."

"I already know that Kaoru! I've known that since I've first met him! I want to know if he loves me or not though. I'm tired of waiting around!"

"Tell me about it." Kaoru thought to herself. "Misao he'll tell you when he's ready. You must be patient or you could possibly lose him by doing something stupid!"

"Me? Do something stupid?" Misao said. She began wiping her eyes. "Never!"

"Right." Kaoru said. "Well Misao, Kenshin and I were going to go out to lunch."

Kenshin quickly looked back at Kaoru and started shaking his head no.

"But, we were wondering if you would like to join us too?"

"Really? I'd love to!" Misao said. She turned around and Kenshin quickly started shaking his head yes.

"Of course Misao. We'd love to invite you to lunch."

"Thanks guys. You're the best friends ever!"

(At lunch…)

Kenshin and Kaoru were sitting down. Misao was in between them.

"So now that he's become a jock, he'll find some skank, have sex with her, and become some father! Then I'll be embarrassed, leave school, and work at the Akabeko! Are you going to finish those fries?"

Misao grabbed some fries from Kenshin and Kaoru's plates. Kenshin looked at Kaoru who then rolled her eyes. Misao swallowed her food when she saw Aoshi enter the restaurant.

"Aoshi!"

Aoshi looked over at Misao and smiled. "Hey." Misao got from the middle of Kenshin and Kaoru. Aoshi kissed her.

"What are you doing here? Interrupting a date of Kenshin and Kaoru?" Aoshi asked.

"What? Oh no! Kaoru invited me! Right Kaoru?"

"Huh? Oh yeah! Of course!"

Aoshi cracked a smile. "I missed you, and I went to visit you but you weren't there."

"You went looking for me? That's so sweet! So what do you want to do today?"

"Well, I'll be kind of busy today with football practice and all. We've got our first game next week."

"…Oh. I understand."

Aoshi frowned when he saw how sad Misao looked. Misao quickly went from being sad to being happy.

"Hey. You're here now and that's all that counts."

Aoshi smiled and kissed Misao again. "That's what I like about you so much."

"Like." Misao said.

Aoshi looked at her confused when his cell phone began to ring. "Hello? Already? But I just found my girlfriend! Alright. Fine." Aoshi hung up his phone. "I have to go. We're starting practice early."

Misao's heart sank. "Oh. Well.. call me tonight?"

"Of course. I'll talk to you later." Aoshi left the building.

"Well it looks like being a jock is starting to take its toll." Misao said. She left the restaurant.

"Poor Misao." Kenshin said. "She's taking this a lot harder than I thought she would."

"She's strong. She'll work through this." Kaoru said.

(Meanwhile…)

Misao was walking down the street when she ran into Yahiko and Haruhi.

"Hey Misao!" Yahiko said. "What's up?"

"Oh. Nothing much." Misao said sadly.

"I hear congratulations are in order?" Haruhi asked.

"For what?"

"Well, your boyfriend made the football team!"

"Ugh. That's something I really don't feel like being happy about."

"Why not? The Ouran Football team is highly known and very popular with people."

"That's the whole thing. I don't want to be some kind of popular person. I like how things were, but everything's bound to change with a popular boyfriend… that is if we'll even be able to survive this dumb relationship."

"Don't talk like that Misao." Haruhi said. "I feel so bad for you and Aoshi, but do you love him?"

"Of course. I love him with all my heart. I've been in love with him from day one."

"Well then isn't he worth going through anything for? I mean Yahiko and I care about each other but basically the whole school is completely un aware of our relationship. We can't hold hands, we can't kiss, and all those girls!"

"Can I just add that I love the jealous you?" Yahiko asked.

Haruhi smiled. She hit Yahiko's arm playfully. "Anyway Misao, when you truly love someone, you will go through just about anything for them. They would do anything for you, and they place all of their trust in you."

"You're right Haruhi. Besides, Aoshi has never lied to me or anything. Sometimes he's a little distant, but that's just Aoshi being Aoshi! Right? Right?"

Haruhi and Yahiko nodded.

"Thanks guys. I'm beginning to feel a lot better now." Misao walked around the two. "See you guys later!"

Yahiko looked at Haruhi. "Haruhi, I didn't know I put you through so much."

"Huh?"

"I mean, being a host is bad enough. Then we can't do anything as a couple in school. I'm surrounded by girls all the time. I'm sorry."

"Oh Yahiko! You don't have to worry about that. I care about you, and like I told Misao, you're worth going through anything for."

Yahiko smiled and kissed Haruhi. "You're the best you know that?"

"I might have." Haruhi said jokingly.

(Later on…)

Misao was doing some homework. Every few seconds she looked at the clock.

"Wasn't he supposed to call by now?" Misao wondered.

Misao was writing and then checked the clock again.

"What am I doing? It feels as if I'm becoming obsessive or something! I need to stop thinking about Aoshi."

Misao walked out of her house. She started walking down the side walk. She looked up at the sky and the stars.

"It's so beautiful tonight." Misao thought. "Maybe this is a good thing for us to experience. He has his own thing and I have to find something for me to do as well."

Misao looked down from the sky after having her epiphany. "But what exactly do I want to do?"

Misao noticed she was downtown in front of the Akabeko. It had a 'Now Hiring' sign.

"How ironic." Misao said. She walked into the Akabeko. There she was greeted by Tae Sekihara.

"Hello Misao. Here for dinner?"

"Oh no. I was looking for a job. Is that ok?"

"Oh of course! We've been needing some more help around here since Tsubame quit and all."

"Tsubame quit? When?"

"It was a little while ago. She didn't even give a reason she just said she couldn't work here anymore. It broke my heart."

"Well don't worry I'll help!" Misao said.

"Uh Misao do you even know how to cook?"

"Hell no! I was just going to be a waitress!" Misao said.

"I could help cook." Another girl said. Tae and Misao turned around to see a purple haired girl standing behind them. She was taller than Misao. She had a warm smile on her face.

"My name is Moune. I can cook for you if you like."

"Well are you sure?" Tae said.

"Yeah!" Misao said.

"I'd love too!" Moune said.

"Well ok! Could you guys maybe start… now? The dinner rush will be here soon."

"OK!" Misao and Moune said.

People started entering the Akabeko like Tae said. Misao took orders, and Moune helped Tae cook the beef pots. Misao handed the beef pots out quickly, carefully, and flawlessly.

(An hour and a half later…)

Misao and Moune were sitting at a table. Tae had just finished sweeping the floor.

"That was excellent girls!" Tae said. "Best work I've seen since Tsubame!"

"Thanks Tae that mean a lot." Misao said.

"Well I'll give you girls a nice little sum of money right now. Shall we work out a shift schedule tomorrow?"

"Ok!" Both girls said.

"Alrighty then! I'll see you two tomorrow!"

Misao and Moune waved goodbye to Tae and left the Akabeko.

"Tae seems like a really nice girl." Moune said.

"Yeah she is. It was weird for Tsubame to just up and quit randomly. It surely doesn't sound like her. So why did you want to work in the Akabeko if you don't mind me asking?" Misao said.

"Well I need a job for some money. I'm a senior and I'm trying to get the last couple hundred dollars for my tuition. My family can't give me anymore. I didn't want them to use any money on me in the first place." Moune said.

"Wow. That's very nice of you. Working hard to get into college. I wish I could be like that."

"Sometimes it's a good thing, but working so hard all the time causes me to not really have that many friends. Let alone have an actual life. I mean I just transferred to Ouran this week, and I don't have any new friends yet."

"You go to Ouran?" Misao asked. "Me too!"

"Really? That's great! Well it looks like I've made one friend."

"Looks like it!" Misao said. "So where are you staying?"

"Oh I'm staying at my aunt's house. You should come over!"

"Ok!" Misao said.

Things were quiet for a little while and things became even quieter when Misao realized where she was going. Moune had the keys to Aoshi's house. She opened the door.

"Are you Aoshi's cousin?" Misao asked.

"Yeah. You know Aoshi?" Moune asked.

"Oh boy do I." Misao said. "Small world." Misao thought to herself.

"Well he won't be back til late. He's at some big party."

"What?" Misao asked.

"There was some big party that the football team was going to. They invited all the popular people and of course the jocks girlfriends were invited too."

"Oh were they?" Misao asked. "So he has been lying to me. He said practice huh? Practice my ass! Wow that didn't sound right." Misao thought to herself.

"So how do you know Aoshi?" Moune asked.

"He's… my boyfriend." Misao said.

"Huh? Then why weren't you at the… oh." Moune said.

Misao went over to the phone. She started to dial a number.

"Kaoru? It's Misao. Meet me at Aoshi's house. We've got a party to crash."
