"Thanks Misao. I bet I would have said things I'd regret if you hadn't pulled me away,"said Kaoru quietly when they were out of the shop and in Kaoru's lexus.
She knew how much Misao wanted to stay with Aoshi but gave it up for her. 'She's a loyal friend.'
"It's no problem Kaoru,"replied Misao putting a big smile on her face as though nothing went wrong.
"Oh give it up. I know you wanted to stay with Aoshi every second,"said Kaoru.
"Well true but I didn't want to hang around Megumi. I'm serious, Megumi is acting like a slut,"said Misao who thought back to the moments when Megumi and Kenshin hung around each other.
"Yeah,"sighed Kaoru. 'Why did Kenshin choose her? Why not me?'
"Hey Kaoru?"
"Oh wha?"
"Do you like Kenshin?"
"What?! Where would you get that freakishly crazy idea?"replied Kaoru then giggled.
"Uh its kinda obvious? You get that jealous look when you see Megumi around Kenshin."
"Oh. Ok maybe I am falling for him. Big deal."
"The point is, why do you like him now? Is it because he became a total hottie?"
"Misao, I don't know how to answer that,"replied Kaoru, dumbstruck.
"Well the first time you met him, you were nice to him because you felt sorry for him. Then you offered to change his looks for some lame school project. Now that he's hott, your becoming a jealous hag because Megumi is hanging all over Kenshin. Tell me if I'm right Kaoru."
There was a very long pause. It felt as though time had stopped for Kaoru and Kaoru was feeling like she was worse then Megumi. "Well, um I don't know what to say Misao. Maybe your right. Maybe I am worse then Megumi (shivers) but his looks aren't all of what I liked about him. I liked his personality until this morning. Maybe it's all my fault. Maybe I would have never considered even becoming friends with him since he was so ugly. Maybe. ."trailed off Kaoru but Misao interrupted.
"Do you want to get the old Kenshin back?"
"Heck yeah I do!!"
"Well, its gonna be hard. He's practically worse then Megumi and you combined!"
"Uh, no comment."
"Oh be quiet. You know what I speak of is true."
"So what are you saying? That I should become a bigger flirt then Megumi?"
"Heck no! Then I'd be more disgusted then I am now."
"So I should hang with some other boy and play hard to get?"
"Heck no!"
"So I should just give him up?"
"Heck no!"
"Uh so what should I do?"
"You should be you. Pretend that nothing happened. Pretend that Megumi isn't all over Kenshin. Don't let your temper rise. Act normal for peads sake."
"Um I can go with that."
"Hopefully!"
"Hey, how the heck did you change Misao? Not to be rude but you always made fun of everyone and everything that wasn't all that perfect."
"Um I started watching Rurouni Kenshin. Aka Samurai X. Hehehe."
"Rurouni Kenshin? Who's the main Character?"
"Himura Kenshin."
"Do you not find that freaky?! The same name as Kenshin!!"
"Uh, sorta but not really."
"So how the heck can a show change you?"
"You learn important qualities from it."
"Oh. Maybe I'll check this show out."
"You should."said Misao as Kaoru pulled into the huge driveway leading to a house similar to Kaorus'.
"Ok go get your stuff. I'll be waiting in the car. It won't take long, will it Misao?"
"No. Just 5 minutes."
"Ok."
10 minutes later
"What took you so long?"asked Kaoru who had been sitting in the lexus for 10 minutes.
"Oh I just had to find some things,"replied Misao.
"Ok."said Kaoru who had spent the last ten minutes thinking about what Misao had just advised and told her. 'Maybe I should take her advice. Dang she changed so much. Misao used to be a clone of Megumi!'
"So what should we do about Megumi? We can't hang around her while she's acting all you know. I'll puke one of these days you know!"said Misao.
'Well maybe she didn't change completely. She's still the Misao I know but in a good way.' "Give her some time. Maybe she'll realize how she's acting."
"What if she doesn't?"
"You'll give her a talk. Hehe."
"Um whatever."said Misao while they arrived at Kaoru's house and Kaoru parked her car next to her mother's INFINITI. (That's the name of the car)
"So where's your stuff?"asked Kaoru when they got out of the car.
"It's in mah duffel bag."replied Misao.
"Aight,"said Kaoru.
"Are you willing to carry it for me?"asked Misao jokingly.
"Sure. 15 bucks right here in my hand and I will!"replied Kaoru.
"I'll carry it myself if you don't mind then hehe,"said Misao.
In the Kamiyas' house
"Hey, my parents aren't home. Seems they have to work overtime or something,"said Kaoru while putting down a note her parents left her.
"Is your kid brother gone too?"asked Misao.
"No, I'm right here hehehe,"said Yahiko in an evil way while sneaking up on Misao.
"Oh my gosh! You scared me Lil G!"yelled Misao.
"Hey I'm no girl!"snapped Yahiko.
"Duh! Lil G? Guy or girl can be used for G? Duh!"said Misao half giggling and high fiving Kaoru.
"Oh, I knew that!"said Yahiko while walking into the kitchen, sort of blushing but not much.
"Come on! Let's go to my room,"said Kaoru.
Kaoru's room
"You've finally cleaned it up!"said Misao when they reached Kaoru's room.
"Yeah I know! I cleaned It last month. It was messy but now I can manage to make it clean and sparklin!"replied Kaoru while plopping down on her king size bed.
"Dang how many pillows do you need?"asked Misao.
"What? Like your bed isn't like this,"said Kaoru.
"Yeah my bed is like that but not with that much pillows!"said Misao.
"What can I say? I'm a pillow person."
"Ok well so what did happen in the ice cream/shakes shop?"asked Misao.
"What happened?"asked Kaoru while getting books out of her bag.
"Well you know, your temperature just blew. That doesn't happen very often. And practically screaming at Kenshin?"
"I don't know. I'll try to control my temper I guess."said Kaoru half blushing.
"Hopefully,"said Misao.
"Still I can not believe one tv show changed you Misao."said Kaoru while throwing Misao a pencil and grabbing one for herself. "Some people would have to like have hundreds of lectures for that sort of thang."
"I know! Me either. But Rurouni Kenshin teaches you so much stuff,"said Misao.
"Um ok,"said Kaoru still wondering how.
"Let's get started on our homework now,"said Misao now looking at the sack load of homework the teachers gave them.
"Yeah but you have to answer this question for me, Did you like Aoshi from the beginning or did you just pretend that you hated his guts?"asked Kaoru.
"Ok ok fine, I liked Aoshi since I first set eyes on the guy. The only reason I decided to admit it now was because Megumi thought Kenshin was hott and since Aoshi is a friend of Kenshin's then I won't have Megumi breathing down my neck about Aoshi."admitted Misao, her face really red. No, too red.
"Its ok Misao. I guess we are really shallow,"said Kaoru.
"Yeah. Agreed."
With that said, they finished their homework, which took 4 hours. No one said they were bright geniuses! After that they ate dinner with Yahiko since Kaoru's parents still didn't get home. It was a normal thing though. And last but not least, spent hours talking and talking. Misao slept in the room that was connected to Kaoru's. The room was small but close to Kaoru's bed. They kept on talking about everything. Well little did they know that they were being listened to. Yahiko installed a two way thing that lets him hear what they talk about. Kaoru found out though. Lucky for Kaoru she found out early too. After that incident, Kaoru and Misao continued to talk until Misao went to sleep snoring leaving Kaoru to think about a special someone. .. . . ... . ... . .
