Author's Notes: This is my first fanfic. I felt like I was mooching stories off of fanfiction.com too much so I decided to 'try' to contribute something back… emphasize on 'try'. Please do not mistake this fanfic for some kind of horny lemon fic…lol! As a very wise man once said…Don't judge a book by its…cov –ummmz, title…yes that's it, don't judge a book by its title…but it's a very interesting title, ne?  Not to say that this fic won't be full of cheesy AxM parts! I will make sure to add many of those in as well as some action and funny parts.  What's a story without any romance, action, and comedy? Hehe I have the whole storyline already planned out.  Also, as an extra warning, some of the characters I'm using based on the anime, but others I'm just adding kuz I need more names.  Like, Misao and Kenshin will have the same characteristics but Enishi, etc… will be adjusted according to the fic so please don't shank me because you don't like the way I wrote your favorite character or something…You'll see what I mean.  Okay, on with the fic…


Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Rurouni Kenshin…-_- but I wish I did ^_~

Summary:

Misao is an exclusive member of Oniwabanshuu, an underground crime-fighting government run (think CIA) organization. She's fought the toughest crime lords and helped captured countless weapon smugglers but will that experience help when she has to face with her most challenging assignment? – going undercover as a high school student to try to seduce Aoshi Shinomori, supposed son and heir to one of the most ruthless mafias in Tokyo.


Seducing Aoshi Chapter 1 – The Assignment

Misao…

Misao…

MISAO!!!

"HUH?!?!" Misao looked up startledly too see a pair of very annoyed eyes squinting down at her large green ones… Oops, caught daydreaming again. Mou! He looks mad!

Saitou shook his head in exasperation. "Misao-san…while you were busy daydreaming, I was telling everyone about the new assignment.  This is the kind of behavior that cost men their lives.  Careless reckless inattentiveness.  One lost moment can wreck even the most perfect plan and cost countless lives.  Don't let me catch you daydreaming again lest another mishap occur in your name."

Misao turned as red as an overcooked lobster and immediately sat upright again while trying to ignore the hideous HOHOHOHOHHOHing of a certain fox lady…She was inside a small but comfy room of the Oniwabanshuu headquarters.  She looked around at the modernly decorated room with a couple of bean bags in a corner, one of which she was currently occupying.  Megumi was reapplying her blood red lipstick.  Enishi was flirting with his adoring groupie. Okita and Tae were–

Misao's observations were disrupted by the sound of fingers tapping on the table next to her.  Misao glanced back at Saitou noticing that he was still staring at her, trying to get her attention back.

"Hai Saitou-san! I'm sorry. Please continue." Jeez, don't get your panties in a bunch…ever since that incident at the factory.  I didn't know there was a bomb in there and I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt……Misao glanced at Shishio who was currently draped over a tacky purple couch, looking like an urban mummy, covered from head to toe in bandages and yet managing to wear an Armani suit.  She sighed…Now we know why taxes are so high.

"Well, I know some of you are getting restless with the old assignments, the pill pushers and the local gangs-"

Enishi yawned melodramatically while stretching his arms, showing his rippling muscles through his tight black shirt as the other girls gawk at him, one of those including Misao.  

Woa, would I like to be wrapped around those arms…

As if he sensed Misao's thoughts, Enishi wrapped his arms around the nearest person of the opposite sex, who happens to be Yumi, and tried to whisper sweet nothings in her ear as she giggled with delight.  The other girls glared enviously, like a bunch of vultures who's just had their dinner taken away.

Don't worry girls, you're not missing out on much. His ego is as big as a Mt. Fuji but I hear from Megumi that that's the only part of him that's big.  Misao tried to cover her blush as she feels her cheeks flushing, remembering Fox lady's comment.  And I don't think she was talking about his heart but his-

"PACKAGE! Package! Saitou-san you got a package!"  Yahiko yelled out, holding out a book-sized package about four – five inches high with both hands.  Yahiko dropped the package down on the table and it landed down with a *thud*.  "Jeez, what do ya have in there? Hiko told me to give it to ya and I had to run down here all the way from his office!  I just came back from training too!…………What's with Tanuki-chan?"  Yahiko scowled at Misao who was having the fits of the giggles, unable to control herself.  Deciding to ignore her, Yahiko sank in another beanbag.

Saitou nodded at Yahiko and replied, "You'll see soon enough." He turned back to the group and continued speaking, "Well, I have some news that might be of interest to some of you.  As we all know the Juppongatana is a very exclusive and ruthless mafia, but what we don't know is that the head, Shinomori, is dying.  Apparently he has long suffered from lung disease and it's finally catching up to him.  He isn't expected to live long-"

"And we should care because…" interrupted a very impatient looking Enishi, who's distractedly fingering his pale hair.

Saitou glared at Enishi who merely shrugged as the other female agents fawned over him.

"As I was saying, he isn't expected to live long.  This is a very notorious gang and everyone knows what they do but we just haven't been able to pin them down yet!" Saitou slammed his fist on the table, spilling a cup of green tea.  "They've covered their tracks so well, thinking they are so damn clever.  Shinomori hides in his house in Kyoto, telling people that he's just a rich old stockbroker, knowing that no one in their right mind would volunteer to question stock broking.  REALLY! A stock broker living in a hundred room mansion surrounded by bodyguards who look like they've spent time!"

Misao raised an eyebrow at Saitou who's clumsily trying to light his cigarette. The guy just talked about lung disease and here he is smoking one up. Saitou finally manages to light it only after using up a whole pack of matches. Somebody's gonna get a tobacco awareness kit in the mail.

After a long smoke, Saitou continues, "As the head of the gang, everything was decided by him, what places were bought, who was trustworthy, who was not, who were killed…," Saitou picked up the brown package as if it was as light as a feather and started unwrapping it. "When he dies, a new heir must be appointed to take over in Shinomori's place.  Not only will the heir inherit Shinomori's money, land, but also the mafia and of course…his power. By very reliable resources, we have now discovered that the dying Shinomori will leave everything to his son." Saitou finished unwrapping the mysterious package, inside lay several, very stuffed manila folders.  Everyone looked curiously at the stuffed folders being passed around by Saitou.  After passing the folders around, Saitou took another puff on his cigarette and said in a low voice…"Aoshi Shinomori."

Everyone who received a folder started flipping through the pages.

From across the room, Misao heard Megumi exclaim…"Wow! What a little hottie! HOhOHohHOHOH."

Misao shook her head…crazy Takuni-chan! Nevertheless, she looked around, trying to find a folder of her own so she could see this so-called hottie.

Mou! Why am I always last in everything?

Spying a lone folder on the coffee table, Misao grabbed for it and was about to open it, when a strange man she's never seen before, began to speak.  He must be new or something…She subconsciously tucked her folder inside her handbag and watched fascinated, as the new guy spoke. 

He is kinda cute and that scar on his cheek is damn sexy.

The red-headed man with amber eyes asked in a low voice, "Shinomori has a son?  How come that never came to our attention?"

Just as Saitou was about to open his mouth to reply, Enishi interrupted him once again.

"So what does this have to do with anything? Who gives a shit whether or not Shinomori had a son.  There must have been plenty of whores for him to screw, so one of them got pregnant…," Enishi said boredly.

Saitou clenched his teeth as veins began popping all over his forehead. Everyone in the room began sweat dropping.  O_O;;;

Uh Oh…Enishi pushed him a lil too far, thought Misao amusedly.

"SHIT ENISHI! SHUT THE HELL UP!!!"

*Thwack*

With that Saitou, who's getting more pissed off by the second, slapped Enishi on the side of his head, causing him to hit not only Saitou's hand but the wall behind his head.

*Thonk*

"Wh-What! I'm not gonna stand around here and get treated like this!" Enish yelled while rubbing the back of his head, "Come on girls, let's head to my room" And Enishi stomped out of the room, looking like a pissy tomcat.  If he had a tail, you'd see it twitching from side to side.

Saitou mumbled, "Horny brainless piece of sh-"

Misao coughed lightly, trying to suppress the laughter inside, her raven-black braid swinging from side to side as she shook with laughter.  That was too funny! HaHaHaHAAHaH! Okay…She straightened up. No time to act this way…We have a missi----hAHAHAHAH…Misao started giggling again, remembering Enishi's reaction to the bitch slap.

Even the red headed man smiled a bit.

Saitou smirked, "That'll show him to act like a smartass." He clapped his hands together.  "Now, contrary to what our local whore-hounder said, Shinomori did have a son whom he had with his wife, Ai. She was the daughter of the infamous Chinese mafia leader, Tang Li, of Emerald Serpent.  She and Shinomori met while he was away traveling in China.  It was a forbidden love…same Romeo and Juliet shit, so naturally they eloped and enraged the Chinese mafia.  2 years later. They had a kid named Aoshi.  However, when young Aoshi was 7, his mother died by unknown reasons…We couldn't find out how, but she just died. Blah blah blah…family was devastated.

Now, that's enough of the brief family bio.  From what I hear, Shinomori is planning a weapon smuggle.  Not your average grenade/guns shit, mind you! That's a freaking pixie stick compared to this piece of Hershey's…"

Misao smiled at Saitou's analogy.  I will not giggle…

"They are now planning a weapon exchange from the Sicilian mafia.  Don't ask me how it happened but it did and now we're here shittin' in our pants cuz we don't know how to intercept it except through the boy.  You see right now, the Juppongatana are in a very vulnerable state since the old leader is dying and the new leader who is years younger than them is gonna be appointed soon.  The older members are pretty pissed off since they weren't chosen and something's gonna  happen.  This is a perfect time to have an agent infiltrate the home and retrieve the plans and information for the weapon smuggle…To do that, we gotta get to the son, Aoshi and get the inside info for the weapon smuggle……

Meanwhile Misao mused… Hey! I could do this assignment! All I need to do is get the info, right? YES! IF I succeed, which I will, I am a ninja after all, I'd gain the respect back of all the Oniwabanshuu! Misao grinned.

Misao jumped up and cried out excitedly, "I'll do it! Just give me my tobikunai and I'll be on my way.   I'll make you proud and and…why is everyone so quiet?"  She cocked her head to the side and looked confused as everyone was staring at her intently. Suddenly Megumi started laughing her evil female Santa Clause laugh and everyone else started laughing. 

Clenching her fists, Misao demanded, her face reddening, "WHAT!!! I COULD DO IT! YOU THINK I CAN'T CUZ OF THE FACTORY INCIDENT! THAT WAS ONLY ONE TIME! WHEN HAVE I EVER FAILED BEFORE?!? I COULD DO THIS! HOW HARD CAN IT BE?!" She ran to Saitou and plead, "Give me a chance! I could do this! I promise you I won't fail!  I will honor the name Oniwabanshuu."

Saitou looked at the little girl with a bemused and slightly sinister smile on his face, "Okay."

Misao looked at Saitou unbelievably.  "Okay?"

He said yes…

She jumped for joy, her large blue-green eyes full of excitement! "I can do this!"

Right then, Enishi came in with his parade of women…

"What's going on?" He said groggily, "You guys are making too much of a ruckus in here.  I was having my beauty rest…not that I need it, of course."

Okita replied simply, "Misao-san has a mission.  She's gonna seduce Aoshi Shinomori in order to retrieve the plans for the weapon exchange-"

"WHAT?!?!" Misao exclaimed, her large eyes widening even further at the statement.

Ohshitohshitohshit…wtf??!?! What am I supposed to do? Maybe I heard wrong…

"You heard him, Misao-san…Didn't you hear me explain the objectives before or were you just daydreaming again?!?!" Saitou asked as he laughed at her expression.

Misao became pale…

"WHAT KIND OF HENTAI DO YOU THINK I AM! DO YOU THINK I'M SOME KIND OF WHORE? THOSE EASY GIRLS WHO DRAPE THEMSELVES OVER MEN?!?!" Misao glanced back at Enishi's posse, "No offense of course to you guys of course."

"None taken," replied a bubbly Sakura as she held on to Enishi's arm.

"I thought I thought…"Misao looked around to see if anyone would back her up.

I can't do this! I thought I was just supposed to sneak in and get the papers or whatever…

Saitou laughed, "Hey! You're the one who volunteered for this mission.  What did you think it was? To sneak into the house and just walk away with the papers? Misao-san you flatter yourself. You may be a good agent but if we ever have a plan like that we'd use someone with more experience and someone not as hot tempered as yourself…someone like Kenshin." Saitou gestured to the red-haired man on the right who stayed silent as he listened to the conversation.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I probably have a LOT more experience than anyone here! I was raised in the Oniwabanshuu! I was practically born into this when Jiya took me in!" Misao shouted ignoring this Kenshin whoever-he-is-who-thinks-he-has-more-experience-than-me.

How dare he say that I don't have enough experience.

Saitou sighed. This little weasel is getting a little out of hand.  Would it even be wise to assign her this mission?

Another voice in his head said, Of course it is, you'd knew she'd be perfect for it that's why you even mentioned it in her presence in the first place.  Problem is, she probably won't be up for it in the first place…we've laid the bait…we just gotta reel her in…

"I can't do this. Why don't you pick someone with more experience seducing men like Megumi or something?"

Jeez, I can't believe they even thought I'd do something like that!

"She's right! You'd really think that Aoshi Shinomori who could have any girl he wanted, to fall for a little weasel girl like her? I would have a better chance seducing him than that little tomboy there.  She wouldn't even know where to start! " Megumi smugly announced.

"Yea!" Wait… "what is THAT supposed to mean?!" Misao demanded.

"Well, I mean, you haven't had any experience with guys…not that it's your fault of course. You've got your career and ummmz…" Megumi said innocently while rolling her eyes at the other girls… "I think it's best if you left this to someone like me who's had a bit more experience…"

THAT MEGUMI! I'd SHOW HER! WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS TO JUDGE ME!

Misao turned to Saitou so fast, everyone had to duck down to avoid her swinging braid which would have probably given them a nice sting on the face, had they'd been slower.

"I'll do it! AND NO ONE is gonna take this opportunity away! I could seduce any guy I want!" said Misao with a determined look on her face, repeating her earlier statement.

And we caught her…, Saitou thought casually, knowing one way or another she'd take the mission. Should give Megumi a raise though…knew I could count on her to do this.

"GOOD!" replied Saitou loudly. "I'll send you another folder in the morning. Meeting's over."  And Saitou along with some of the other agents walked out of the room.

Seeing everyone leave, Misao cooled down and started gathering her things. Then it hit her.

"What the HELL! WHAT did I get myself into?!?!"
