Dude, I don't own RK. But that's life. -_- Um... Don't own "How Did I Fall In Love With You" by Backstreet Boys or "Gotta Tell You" by Samantha Mumba.

Um... *readers glare menacingly* er... *squeaks* sorry I'm so late with this chapter. I've been really lazy, sorry! But please forgive me anyway! ^^;; Oh yeah, I changed a few words in "Gotta Tell You". ^_^x

Trina Kamiya: Hell, why not? ^_^x I have an idea for S/T and K/T already!

Kyoko Saiki: Any suggestions as to how I could beef up the plot?

Karina Kineshi: *blush* Oopsie daisy... thanks for pointing it out to me!

SinisterMarmalade: I like the Y/T thing, I can use the idea right?

Thanks to the rest of ya as well! Again, I apologize for being so late with the chapter! Now without further ado, here is the A/M chappie!



Couples Karaoke Night at the Akabeko!

Chapter 3

By J. Liha

Tae (steps out, still blushing with pleasure): For our next act, we have Makimachi "Weasel" Misao and Shinomori "Icicle" Aoshi! Misao with "Gotta Tell You" and Aoshi with... well he's asked me to keep it as a surprise. Enjoy!

(Misao steps out in a revealing white blouse and tight blue-green pants with black boots; Aoshi wearing a black leather jacket with no shirt and matching pants. Okon and Omasu, in similar attire, take their places on a platform with mikes.)

Aoshi: What do you want me to do while you're singing?

Misao (nervously): Just move to the music.

Aoshi (nods): Music!

(Funky, upbeat music fill the air. Lights dim.)

Misao (walking towards Aoshi seductively):

My love for you came as a waterfall~

Flowing inside me, like never before~

My love for you

Something you didn't see

But baby, I know better know~

(TV pops up and shows Misao staring at Aoshi with love in her eyes, he regards her coolly. Aoshi stares, eyes wide.)

Misao (tracing Aoshi's lips with her index finger):

When you walked in the room that very night~

A special felling just burst inside

It was only you, nobody else

But baby, I know better now~

(She spins, walking away from him and winks.)

Okon, Omasu, and Misao:

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me~

Don't wanna need you if you won't need me too

Don't wanna tell you this now

But it wouldn't be right, if I~

Didn't tell you this tonight~

Aoshi (exhaling slowly): Oh my God...

(TV shows Misao entering with a tray of tea and she kneels, serving it to a medtiating Aoshi.)

Misao (licking her lips):

And now you're back inside my house again~

I'm trying deeply, to explain~

(TV shows Aoshi saying something and Misao cuts him off with a kiss.)

Misao (blushing and putting her hands on Aoshi's hips, looking up at him):

Cause baby I, wanna get it on

And baby, you're the one for me

And now that I've got you all alone

After all this talking, on the phone

Yahiko: Phone?

Tsubame (makes a fist): Don't make me use this!

Misao (stroking his cheek while moving to the music):

I should be strong

There's nothing wrong

I tell you this is where I belong

Backup and Misao (Misao softly):

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me~

Don't wanna need you if you won't need me too

Don't wanna tell you this now

But it wouldn't be right, if I~

Didn't tell you this tonight~

(Misao looks up pleadingly, asking a question with her eyes)

(Back up repeats chorus)

Misao (softly and sadly):

There was something in your eyes

Made me realize~

(voice gets stronger)

Now I hear voices deep inside~

(steps away)

Telling me!

Telling me it's you and I~

Backup and Misao:

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me~

Don't wanna need you if you won't need me too

Don't wanna tell you this now

But it wouldn't be right, if I~

Didn't tell you this tonight~

Don't wanna love you if you don't love me~

Don't wanna need you if you won't need me too

Don't wanna tell you this now

But it wouldn't be right, if I~

Didn't tell you this tonight!

(The audience claps loudly, fanboys are catcalling.)

Fanboy #1: Hey baby, ditch the icicle and come to papa!

Fanboy #1's girlfriend (takes out mallet): YOU TWO-TIMER! *whack*

Fanboy #2: Forget that loser, give daddy a kiss!

(Aoshi has his kodachi unsheathed, murder in his eyes. Misao, unfortunately, doesn't notice. All fanboys wet their pants.)

Fangirls (swooning): Aoshi-sama!

(Aoshi sheathes his kodachi calmly.)

Aoshi (huskily): Misao...

(She turns around, eyes a bit red. Kenshin and Sanosuke, clothes wrinkled and covered with kiss marks, carry in a grand piano. They take their place at the platform.)

Aoshi: Please sit.

(Misao, eyes wide, sits on top of the piano, one knee drawn up to her face. Aoshi seats himself on the piano bench and begins to play a soft, romantic tune. More swooning from the fangirls.)

Aoshi (in a sweet voice):

Remember when

We never needed each other

The best of friends

Like, sister and brother

(TV shows Aoshi tickling chibi Misao, both looking happy.)

Aoshi (kisses Misao's hand):

We understood,

We'd never be...

Alone~

Misao (blushing furiously): A-aoshi-sama... (thinking) Damn, he's talented!

Aoshi (voice with a tinge of remorse and sadness):

Those days are gone,

Now I want you so much

The night is long

And I need your touch

Don't know what to say

Never meant to feel this way

Don't wanna be...

Alone tonight~

Kenshin and Sanosuke (singing sexily):

What can I do, to make you mine~?

Falling so hard, so fast this time

Aoshi (looking up at Misao, eyes shining):

What did I say, what did you do?

How did I fall in love with you?

(sucks in breath)

I hear your voice

And I start to tremble

Brings back the child

That I resemble

I cannot pretend,

That we can still be friends

Don't wanna be...

Alone tonight~

Backup:

What can I do, to make you mine~?

Falling so hard, so fast this time

What did I say, what did you do?

How did I fall in love with you?

(The piano continues to play while Aoshi helps Misao off the piano and gets down on one knee, holding her hand.)

Aoshi (voice thick with emotion):

I wanna say this right

And it has to be tonight

I don't want to live this lie

I don't want to say goodbye

With you I want to spend the rest of my life~!

Backup:

What can I do, to make you mine~?

Falling so hard, so fast this time

What did I say, what did you do?

How did I fall in love with you?

Aoshi (standing up, gazing into Misao's eyes):

What can I do, to make you mine~?

Falling so hard, so fast this time

Everything's changed, we never knew~

How did I fall in love... with~ you~?

I love you Misao...

(kissing her gently)

Take me back... please.

Misao (throwing her arms around him): I thought you'd never ask!

Aoshi: Want to go out for dinner?

Misao: Sure, but let's have "dessert" before dinner.

Aoshi: ...

Misao: *grin*

(The couple walk off, Tae comes out, wiping her eyes.)

Tae: Who knew how talented Aoshi-san was... I hope he's just as talented in bed, for Misao-chan's sake. He does have rather large feet, and you know what they say about men with large feet!

(Audience titters.)

Tsubame (ears red): T-tae-san!

Yahiko: Oh my virgin ears!

Tsubame (checking Yahiko's feet): Yahiko-kun, your feet are big for a guy your age. Hmm...

Yahiko: *blush*



Ah, another one done! PARTY! Ehehehe... anyhoo, I know BSB for Aoshi is kinda weird, but it's a nice song. Yes, I admit it, I was a teeny-bopper in a past life. -_- I hope you enjoyed it. Y/T is next!
