A/N: Ok so here's part 2 of the mini story arc. The disclaimer remains the same!!!
Misao was pacing back and forth across Aoshi's living room.
"How could he lie to me like that? Football Practice?" Misao said.
"Misao calm down." Moune said. "Maybe he had a good reason!"
"Yeah he's probably cheating on me with some cheerleader skank!"
The doorbell rang, and Misao ran to open it. Kenshin and Kaoru were there.
"What took you guys so long?" Misao pulled both teens into the house.
"Ok can you tell me what the heck is going on?" Kaoru asked.
"Aoshi said he was supposed to be going to football practice, but instead went to some freakin party that he could have incited me to, but didn't!"
"Why would he do that?" Kenshin asked.
"Because being some big jock has gone to his head!"
"Misao, didn't they just pick out the team members for the football team?" Moune asked.
"Yeah. So?"
"So, they haven't even played a game yet! How could they be so popular?"
"That's because most people enjoy sports, and winning, and since Ouran also revolves its athletic life around football, everyone likes them and wants to make sure they win!"
"That's kinda putting pressure on the football team members isn't it?"
"There's no time to feel sympathetic for the football team!" Misao looked at Kenshin and Kaoru. "Oh, guys this Moune, Aoshi's cousin."
"Hello." Kenshin and Kaoru said.
"Hi."
"Ok, let's stop standing around here and go!" Misao said.
"Misao we're missing one important detail." Kenshin said.
"And what's that?"
"Where is the party at?"
"I… don't know."
"Well if this party's so big, somebody we know has to know about it!" Kaoru said.
"What about Sanosuke or Yahiko?" Kenshin said.
"What about them?" Misao asked.
"Well they might know something about big parties. I mean they are host club members after all. They're pretty big at the school too."
"That's a good idea. I'll call him." Misao said. She got out her cell phone and dialed his number.
(At the party…)
Sanosuke was drinking punch when he felt his phone vibrate. He answered it.
"Hello?"
"Sano it's Misao. Where are you?"
"I should be asking you the same thing! I'm at a party with the other host members. One of the football players threw a party to celebrate this year's new team. Everyone was invited including the girlfriends of the football players!"
"Well I would have been there if I was invited!"
"You weren't invited?"
"No! That jerk! Have you seen him yet?"
"No not yet. Well the party is located in the neighborhood south of ours."
"Ok thanks. We'll be there soon." Misao hung up her phone. "Moune can you drive?"
"Yeah just show me where we need to go."
"Perfect. Let's go guys!" Misao said.
Misao and Moune exited the house.
"Well this ought to be an interesting night eh Ms. Kaoru?" Kenshin asked.
"Oh yeah." Kaoru said. They left the house as well.
(At the party…)
Moune parked onto the street of the car. Everyone got out.
"Some party." Kaoru said.
The house was huge, and there was nothing but the sounds of loud music people talking and glass breaking in the background.
"I don't like this." Kenshin said. "Especially if Shishio is here. Stay close Ms. Kaoru." Kenshin grabbed her hand.
"I'm guessing those two are a couple?" Moune asked.
"Now that's a long story that I'll tell you later." Misao said.
"Well let's get inside this party!" Kaoru said.
The teens walked into the house to see people sitting on the couch, watching TV, playing games, kissing, and eating. Sanosuke noticed the group and went over to them.
"Hey guys. I see you made it?"
"Of course. Did you see Aoshi anywhere?" Misao asked.
"I saw him earlier. He had gone upstairs. I tried calling his name but he couldn't hear me."
"Thanks for the advice." Misao said. "Well I guess you guys have fun at the party."
"You don't want us to come with you?" Kaoru asked.
"No. This is something I have to do on my own." Misao said.
"Well ok, we'll be down here." Kenshin said.
"Alright." Misao went upstairs.
"So what do we do now?" Moune asked.
"I have no idea." Kenshin said.
(Meanwhile…)
In another room, Yahiko and Haruhi were sitting on a couch surrounded by other kissing couples.
"Well this is awkward." Haruhi said.
"Tell me about it. You want to get out of here?" Yahiko asked.
"Yeah." Haruhi said.
Haruhi and Yahiko got up and left the room. They went outside.
"Haruhi?"
"Yes?"
"Do the other hosts like me?"
"What? Why do you ask that?"
"I don't know. It's just that sometimes when I'm around them things feel awkward. I mean I know all of the hosts members are rich and have all these luxuries."
"Yahiko, I'm far from rich." Haruhi said.
"You are?"
"Yeah. That probably should have been something I mentioned to you. My mom passed away and things had become hard for me and my dad."
"I'm sorry. My mom passed away too, and I never really knew my dad."
"I'm sorry."
"Oh it's no problem. I'm ok living with my adopted family. I really like them." Yahiko laughed. "We've been going out for a couple of weeks and we didn't even know we shared this in common."
Haruhi laughed too. "Yeah, we just need to have a day where we get to know each other a lot better."
"So do you regret rushing things with me?" Yahiko asked.
"Of course not. I was happy to go out with you then and I'm still happy now."
"Good." Yahiko said. He kissed Haruhi, and she smiled.
"I guess we better get back inside now." Yahiko said.
"You're right." The couple was getting ready to re enter the house.
"Oh and Yahiko?"
"Yeah?"
"The host members do like you. Tamaki, Kyoya, Kaoru, and even Hikaru is starting to take a liking to you."
"Even Hikaru?"
"Yep."
"Well that makes me feel a lot better then." Yahiko smiled, and Haruhi smiled too. The two went back inside the house.
(Meanwhile…)
Kenshin and Kaoru were sitting down on a couch watching some other teenagers play video games.
"You think Misao is ok?" Kaoru asked.
"I think she will be. I'm more worried about Aoshi than her." Kenshin smiled, but Kaoru didn't. "Something on your mind?"
"No…"
"You know you can tell me anything Ms. Kaoru."
"I guess I understood where Misao was coming from. You know? From earlier today?"
(Flashback)
"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!"
(Flashback ends)
"Do you love me Kenshin?"
Kenshin stared at Kaoru. "Ms. Kaoru I…"
"I mean if you don't I guess I understand, but I can't wait forever."
"Ms. Kaoru I care about you, and I don't want to lose you, but I don't know the answer to that right now."
"Well I know my answer!"
Kenshin was quiet. "Ms. Kaoru I don't NOT love you, but…"
"But what? You can't say you love me though?"
Kenshin was quiet.
"Why is that? Why can't you say that you love me? Is there someone else? TOMOE?"
"NO! NO WAY! How could you even think that?"
"Well I don't know Kenshin! I mean at first you acted like you had a thing for her or something!"
"Like when?"
"Like the first day of school! You were staring at her like you were some schoolboy with his first crush!"
"That was ONE TIME! How about the fact that you completely failed to mention to me that you kissed Tomoe's crazy brother over the summer! I thought you liked me for so long then why were you kissing some other guy?"
"That was different! After the incident at the end of last year, that was the perfect opportunity for something between us to happen! When it didn't I was upset and hurt, so I gave up on the whole 'us' thing."
"You actually gave up on me?"
"It was only for a few months."
Things had gotten awkward for the two teens. They just sat there in silence.
(Meanwhile…)
"Haruhi, I'm going to go get something to drink. You want anything?" Yahiko asked.
"I'll take some punch if it's ok." Haruhi said.
"Of course. I'll be right back!" Yahiko got up from the couch. He entered the kitchen when he saw Sojiro. He was talking to a girl. Yahiko frowned, but decided to walk past him. Sojiro noticed him.
"Hello Yahiko." Sojiro said.
"Sojiro. I'm surprised you aren't kissing Shishio's ass right now."
"Aw that hurt Yahiko, but he, Yumi, and… Tsubame are busy right now."
Yahiko turned around. "Tsubame?"
"Yes Tsubame hangs with us now. She even became a cheerleader, and to make things even better Shishio and her might have something going on."
This made Yahiko angry. He pushed Sojiro against a wall. "Where is he? He better leave her alone."
"Jealous much?" Sojiro said. He then used his strength to push Yahiko off of him.
"Whoa." The girl said. "You two better stop before you get kicked out of the party. Can't we all just get along?"
"Look. I don't know who you are, but that guy is not good news."
"My name is Moune." Moune said.
"Well ok Moune, Sojiro here is a bad dude. He and his little group put the lives of many in danger last year, and for some reason him and his group are back. I'd stay away from them."
"Well maybe he's changed." Moune said.
"Yahiko would never allow himself to believe that." Sojiro said.
"Damn right I wouldn't." Yahiko said. He turned around and left the two.
(Meanwhile…)
Misao continued looking upstairs. She had been in quite a few rooms already, annoying couples that had their doors closed for a reason.
"Every single door I've barged into has a couple in bed together, yet none of these people are Aoshi! Hopefully it stays that way, but I doubt it." Misao thought.
She came down at the end of the hallway. There was one door closed.
"This is the last door." Misao said. She took a deep breath, and put her hand on the doorknob.
