The table was a disaster area, across it were strewn papers, picks, dirty plates and empty glasses. In the 4 odd days Misao, Kaoru, Megumi and Kai had known each other, it seemed they had been friends for life. They were alike in so many ways yet different, Misao and Kaoru both had a fiery temper to be reckoned with, Megumi and Kai were both intellectual, Kai and Kaoru could sometimes have an older sister gentleness towards Misao, and Megumi and Misao were the most boy crazy of the group. Although when it came to gentlemen Megumi was witty and charming, while Misao would kinda drool then begin to stalk the person!
The four women sat comfortably at the table in the Akabeko, Kaoru was bent over the a scrap of paper, brows furrowed and hands poised, she was still "creating" her masterpiece from the day before. Misao as strange as it seemed was looking at the newspaper, for an apartments also part time jobs to pay for some the apartment, even though Kai was going to pay most of the rent (She was very well off) Misao felt guilty about mooching. Megumi was finishing up some reports for Dr. Genzai, she was still fuming about a certain chicken headed patient. Meanwhile Kai sat relaxed by the window swaying back and for to her blaring Walkman.
As the clock struck twelve in the dimly lit restaurant as the three productive girls simultaneously chanted out "YES!" Kai kept just dancing in her song not hearing anything going on around her (Kai is extremely kooky person). Misao got her attention by a hard slap on the arm.
" Huh?" Misao just sighed fully used to Kai space casing; they had been friends for a LONG time. " I'm finally finished my reports on the stock of medical supplies. Dr. Genzai makes me do it every week, it's very meticulous." Misao soon started getting giddy to tell every her discovery, " Guys! Guess what? I found the perfect place! A loft apartment, nice neighbourhood, 3 bedrooms and best of all the building has a POOL!!!!!!" At hearing this Kai started bouncing up and down with Misao in delight, Megumi and Kaoru shook their heads in approval, " OH and I found a great opening for a secretary at some company, and they say all you to know is how to make coffee, file, photo copy and type!!!!" Kai just laughed, Misao was too excited to even comprehend Kai's action. Kaoru stood up with excitement and announced, " I finished my song! And tomorrow after house hunting and work we'll rehearse!!!!" Now Kai was excited and snatched the piece of music right out from under a now outraged Kaoru, " HEY!" Kai just held up her index finger to silence her, made a few swift strokes on the paper with a nearby pencil and then began fervently writing on a fresh sheet. Misao soon explained and expanded on Kai rather rude behavior to Kaoru's opus, " Sorry, 'bout that Kai is what we call over eager, she loves to look at other's work not to critique or anything but just to adjust her style too." Kaoru blinked a few times and retorted by saying, " You two have been friends for a long time." Kai looked up and nodded vigorously and then re-absolved herself into the work at hand.

Jetlag, that was the ailment that Aoshi was experiencing at the moment as he stepped into his chic yet rather cold apartment. The keys seemed to echo when dropped on the hallway table making a clanging metallic sound that pounded in his sore sinuses. He walked down the hall with bags in tow heading to his beloved bedroom where sat his sorely missed bed, but something had caught his eye before he could make the rest of his voyage, a red light flashing a number 5. It was his answering machine he pressed the button to hear them grumpily (if Aoshi does show any emotion in private). The messages consisted of people asking for a Bob and two hang ups all useless except the last one.
"Hi Aoshi it's Hannya, I know your on your business trip, but I really needed to give you this message as soon as possible I just found out tonight from Okina that our dear little Misao-chan has taken a vacation with Kai." Aoshi didn't see why Misao vacationing was so important except to the little Caribbean island she would be terrorizing (AN. Since Kai is sorta loaded Misao and she go on a lot trips together) " She's coming to Tokyo." Suddenly Aoshi didn't feel well "Well I just thought I'd better give you the message incase you might bump into her, Ja." The message ended with a "Click" and Aoshi slumped down onto his leather couch. 'This is going to be an interesting summer'
~*~*~ The jobs had been assigned around two o'clock as the 4 girls had crammed into the death trap aka tin can aka taxi and headed to the Kamiya residence. Kaoru had given Misao and Kai the option of staying over at her house/ dojo which had plenty of rooms. Kaoru's family was an interesting one surely, her mother had died when Kaoru was little but she can still remember her. Her younger bratty brother Yahiko was adopted after his parents who were close friends of the Kamiyas died in a tragic car crash. Kaoru's father and brother were both at a tournament which Kaoru was dying to got to but alas it was not be her summer job at the Akabeko not to mention promising Megumi to audition for a few gigs. Megumi had headed home to get some well deserved rest for the hectic day they would meet in the morning, she would go look at places with Kai, while Kaoru worked and Misao worked on getting work. Kai layed sprawled on the couch with music still blaring through her headphones, she had fallen asleep with them on once again. Misao had set up camp in the guest room and was happily asleep in the quiet of her room which was occasional disturbed by the muter of 'Aoshi-sama' from her own sleep. Kaoru had fallen asleep at her mother's piano while perfecting her creation.

At three o'clock in the morning a midly drunk Sano scratched irritably at his bandages, the sober Katsu quickly smacked Sano hand replying to the action, " Don't pick it'll make it worse." Our tipsy red headed friend sat at the table and raised an inquisitive eyebrow, Katsu explained further, " Our friend Sano here had a temper tantrum, punched right through a table, all because of some girl giving him lip." To this Kenshin just smiled and said, " That's not like you Sano you were always quite a player with the ladies in high school if I do recall." Unfortunately saying this allowed Sano to get a shot in, " HEY! At least I was good with the ladies, even now Kenshin you can never work up the gall to ask a girl out, it was sheer luck you met Tomoe-" Sano quickly bit his tongue seeing Kenshin wince at the mention of the old flame, Sano soon apologized " Look man, I know that what happened with her hurt like hell but it's been years and it is more than past time you get back in the saddle." " I'm going have to agree with Sano on this one Kenshin-san" Katsu added, " If you want us to set you up we would be more than happy-" The sentence was cut off by the frantic wave of the distressed redhead. " I've had many unsuccessful blind date, I'm afraid a setup would be inconceivable" Sano made a loud sigh at this and slammed his glass down on the table in frustration, " Well then what are we going to do with you ?" " I don't know." Kenshin slumped in his chair with the weight of defeat and alcohol induced depression pulling him down. Sano observed the pathetic state that this conversation had left his friend, then for once Sano received a stroke a sheer brilliance, " I have it!" He announced rising from his chair in a blaze of glory " Oro?" Kenshin half heartedly replied " Kenshin my man you should come to our band audition, judging by those three babes that walked in here today there are should be plenty of eligible ladies." With that Sano smacked him squarely on that back getting a very loud "Oro"
