Now Kenshin and Aoshi were daydreaming right, deep in thought, well the pieces hit them both smack dap between the eyes and neither of them knew it was coming.
"Ouch" said Kenshin right before he hit the ground cold.
"…" Said, well didn't say Aoshi before he hit the ground.
"Awe shit why did it have to be me who knocked the two of them out?" said Misao.
"Yea I think your right some one up there dose hate you," said Sano.
"Shut up and get over here and help us get them to the nurse" said Kaoru.
" Ya had to mess with me today sano didn't you?" said Misao. Evil scowl from Sano. They got the two boys safely to the nurse's office. Misao and Kaoru started to pace especially Misao not only did she just knock out her new crush but she knocked out another totally innocent guy and she didn't even get to run the bases for her supposed home run.
"Misao calm down they'll be fine your gonna wear a hole in the ground " said soujiro he was kind of worried about Misao 'I wonder if she'll be alright I mean she's pacing so much I know she likes that Aoshi guy but dose she really like him this much? I don't think worrying that much is good for a girl' he thought. All the sudden Kenshin and Aoshi walked out of the nurse's office with huge red marks, turning into bruises, on their faces. If you put them together they formed a bat actually besides the fact that that looked extremely painful it was funny looking. Once the team got a good look at them they burst out into laughter. Soon they quieted down due to the evil look in both the boys' eyes. Practice was officially over due to the little accident they had. ' Oh my god I feel so bad did I hurt them I see pain in Kenshins eyes but not much but I cant even read Aoshi's eyes this guys like a rock no a ice block but he's my ice block no wait what am I thinking he would never like a girl like me ' Misao thought.
Kaoru looked at her best friend with worry in her eyes. " Misao its ok their fine besides they were the ones who weren't paying atten..." she was cut short by Misao.
"Kaoru I feel so bad had I been paying attention and didn't hit the ball as hard as I could they wouldn't have gotten hurt its all my fault but on he bright side they don't look to hurt I mean Kenshin, I only see a little pain in his eyes but he was in deep thought when I hit him so was Aoshi but hey Kaoru (nudging Kaoru in the side) Kenshin was looking right at you in deep thought I think some one has a crush on you ;)!" Misao said the sorrow and regret completely disincarnating from her being.
"No he doesn't he couldn't I mean I" she started to blush furiously.
"Oh and some one has a crush on him! Oh I love playing the matchmaker I have to get you two together," said a now extremely happy Misao.
"Hey now, I never said that I liked him and really you shouldn't, remember the last time you thought I had a crush on some one and you tried to get us together?" asked Kaoru a little ticked off.
"Ah that someone dose have a crush on Kenshin huh?" said Misao now happily formulating a plan to get them together.
"Who has a crush on KENSHIN? Now?" said Sano screaming the word kenshin really loud so every one heard him and listen to see who had a crush on the new student.
" Oh well we were having a private conversation sano please don't interrupt us" said kaoru blushing.
"Oh so Mis."He started when Misao put her hand on his mouth." no sano don't spread any nasty rumors it could ruin our reputation if you really want to know I…. I…. I have.. A.. Crush …on. …Kenshin" she whispered the word Kenshin. 'Oh no I do not now look what you've done Misao you saved a friend from complete and total embarrassment and now your in trouble good going now Aoshi will never notice you' she thought with regret in her eyes.
' No way thank you Misao you saved me from complete and total embarrassment I love you (in a friend way for all those sickos out there) but now what about Aoshi he'll never look at you and did any one see that blush' Kaoru thought with the look of debt to Misao in her eyes.
' What the hell I thought that Kaoru liked Kenshin and Misao liked Aoshi wow, wait a second Misao dose like Aoshi I know that look she gave him earlier that was pure love and hope and Kaoru was practically staring at Kenshin wow Misao really did her friend a big favor' thought Sano.
'Shit I don't like HER I like Kaoru and I thought I saw a little hint of pain in Aoshi's eyes for a second when she said my name but she had to have been lying her eyes they tell the whole story' Kenshin thought.
' No I like her though Kenshin cant have her Kenshin why did she say Kenshin? Wait a second no I don't like her no I don't I don't I do no, no I don't!' thought Aoshi.
'Oh Misao that was a bad Idea' thought soujiro. As soon as every one got on the activity bus Misao sat in seat 12 on the drivers side the one seater of course to sulk at her new found FAKE crush. Kaoru sat in the seat across the hall alone. She didn't want to sit and flirt with boys now she wanted to comfort her friend.
"Misao, Misao that was the nicest thing anyone has done for me Misao come here sit in my seat with me." Said kaoru Misao moved over and sat with Kaoru. She leaned in and gave her a hug.
" Kaoru I cant believe I did that what will Aoshi think now he thinks I like kenshin not him and now kenshin thinks I like him and not you but I don't regret it (she lied through her teeth) I didn't want you to be embarrassed im sorry if you wanted him to know, did you want him to know?" Misao asked.
"Yes but not in front of everyone " she said "thank you Misao I really appreciate it but I don't think any one bought your act they saw how crushed you looked when you said kenshin everyone gasped and Aoshi practically showed an emotion!" Kaoru said. Misao laughed.
"Ok I guess I can forget it well this is my stop by ill talk to ya later" she said while she walked off the bus. As Misao walked home she ran inside and ran to her room she shuffled around looking for something she found it and ran outside. The thing she was looking for was her skateboard she was going to practice her moves for 2 hours practice swordsmanship for 2 hours do homework for and hour then go to bed it was already 6:00 she might have to shorten her schedule. She skated to a near by park and started skating up and down a half pipe. She was good very good but every time she went there she had to put on a hoodie wear the hood up and wear a baseball cap with her hair tucked away so she look like a guy she also wore shades. All the guys would kick her out of the park if she didn't. Now today being so upset she went there to cool off and let off some steam. She forgot her baseball cap had to wear a helmet she also forgot her hoodie and ended up wearing a pink tank top and shades she had to wear her hair down because she had a helmet on. This was going to be trouble. And to top it all off Kaoru came after her with make-up this morning and she still had it on. She was already at the park when she realized she didn't have her hoodie but that's ok they wont notice. Then she saw every boy staring at her. "Oh crap um hey guys what's everyone staring at?" she said with a blush and her voice kind of shaking out of fear.
"No girls allowed in this skate park," said a rather short boy.
"Oh please oh please just let me skate a little and you'll change your mind im good really," she said.
"Ok I guess we could let you take a test," said a familiar voice from somewhere in the crowd.
"Sano?" she said ' no way is he here I didn't know he skateboarded' she thought.
"Yes, you know it, so you going to start or do you need some one to give you a push?" he said.
"No thanks sano I think I can manage with out your help after all you throwing the ball as slow as you could didn't help during the baseball game!" she said as she dropped into the half pipe. She did extraordinary tricks (I don't know any good ones bare with me and make some up in your head) up and down the half pipe.
"Hey she's not bad and she hasn't even broke a sweat," someone croaked out.
"Ok I guess your in but make sure you don't make us guys look bad" sano said in utter amazement. Suddenly the attention of the crowd was focused on the entrance of the park as the crowd slowly drifted into hysterical laughter. Misao stopped and looked toward the gate to see what was so funny. It was Aoshi and kenshin skating in side by side. If you could clearly see their faces you'd laugh. If you lined up the two bruises you could see the shape of a baseball bat and the bruises went all the way diagonal across their faces. 'Oh no what are they doing here well I guess I can apologize for hitting them now' she thought. She skated up to them and stopped in front of them. "Look I'm sorry the bat hit you both in the face I didn't mean to I guess I don't know my own strength" she said.
'She seems sincere' thought Kenshin. "That's all right I should have been paying attention right Aoshi" Kenshin said.
"Hmm uh yea, right" Aoshi said still looking deep into Misaos eyes she got the chills it was like he was looking right into her soul it scared her yet it comforted her at the same time.
"Ok well I got to go bye" she said happy that one she didn't blush from being right in front of Aoshi and two not blushing being in front of Kenshin who she told she liked which she didn't and three she was able to say sorry to both of them in under a minuet. She skated till it was 8:00 a whole group of boys followed her from ramp to ramp some admiring her skill some trying to master her moves and some just hating her for being a girl with skills they didn't have. She got to see kenshin and Aoshi skate they were really good they were always right next to her when she did a trick they would do it to and sometimes even better. She was satisfied she finally found someone who had better skills than her even though they didn't show her many of their tricks soon she had to go home at 8:00 she told sano she was going home it was getting late. "Sano I have to go nice talking to another skateboard freak like myself J well I got to get home and practice and do homeworkL talk to ya later" Misao said.
"Ya bye Misao have fun practicing what ever and doing homework!" sano said.
"Here's your chance go ask her if she would like you to walk her home" said a voice from the shadows.
"No I cant," said another voice.
"Hey Misao can I walk you home?" said the voice in his best Aoshi impression while pushing Aoshi into the light.
She turned around and saw Aoshi her smile faded into a small frown but soon regained its full ness and she said" sure!"
"Ill get you later Kenshin" Aoshi whispered kenshin only laughed and smiled.
His plan was working splendidly.
" So is there a reason you wanted to walk me home?" she asked innocently.'ya like you've been madly in love with me since you first set eyes on me' a little voice in her head said. 'No he just wanted to know if I was all right or something' she thought 'ya sure wait he's saying something shut up' her other voice said.
"Well I wanted to know why you said you liked kenshin when we all know kaoru likes him" he said.
'Hmm hard question' she thought. "Well Kaoru is my best friend so when I saw her struggle and blush and I knew she wished she were anywhere but there and sano wouldn't shut up and every one wanted an answer my instincts took over I couldn't help it" she said.
"Oh so you don't like Kenshin?" he said.
"Well don't get me wrong I think he's a good guy and he'd be perfect for Kaoru but he wouldn't be perfect for me so if anything he's just a friend" she explained ' and hopefully soon he'll be a friend and my best friends boyfriend' she thought.' that would never happen he seems to shy but as soon as they got their feelings off their chest they'd be perfect' she thought.
'They'd be perfect but their to shy' he thought
"Well this is my house so if there's anything else you wanted to say, say it now" she said.
'Silence oh how I hate silence say something already!' she thought.
'What should I say hey would you like to ask me to the sadyhawkins dance (that's a dance were the chicks ask the guys to dance) next month?' he thought. "No I think that's it," he said.
"Oh ok well bye" she said. She leaned in and gave him a peck on the cheek. She soon ran inside he cheeks red, like hooker lipstick red (big joke between me and my friend sorry had to add that in). Oh boy was she embarrassed. He stood out side her door for a while processing what happened soon he realized he was moving and just went with the flow.' she kissed me well sort of dose that mean she likes me?' he thought all the way home.
'Dose he like me? Dose he not? Awe man this sucks' Misao thought
About 3 weeks laterMisao made good friends with Kenshin and Aoshi
'Ok next week is the dance were I have to ask a guy to go I want to ask Aoshi but I bet like 20 girls already asked I have to ask kenshin if he said yes to anyone hey speaking of Kenshin Kaoru is supposed to ask him to go with her today. This is so exciting. Why can't Aoshi ask me? Why cant he come to me for once instead of me going to him' Misao thought while skateboarding as fast as she could because she was half an hour late to school. ' Why do I need sleep cant we just not need sleep I'd get a lot more done' she thought. ' Wait I know I will make Aoshi come to me but I have to run it through soujiro first' she thought with an evil glint in her eye. She arrived at school at 9:00 an hour late to school. "This sucks" she said.
"Tell me about it I'm late to I slept in" said Soujiro.
"Ah!" Misao screamed as she fell off her skateboard. "Don't sneak up on me and scare me like that! Really you slept in to? That's strange. Oh yeah I wanted to talk to you Soujiro it's about Aoshi" She started.
