Oh no I'm not getting into your crazy relationships im not going to say I like Aoshi just so you don't get embarrassed when sano asks who likes Aoshi" he said.

 "No, no not like that I want you to help me listen ill tell you my plan, First I hang out with you a lot like sit with you at lunch partner up with you when ever I can sit with you on the bus skate with you at the skate park and just generally hang out with you a lot" she said.

"Umm ok how dose this work in with Aoshi?" he asked.

"Im getting to that. Well I figure the more I hang out with other guys the more he'll get jealous," she said with a sly look on her face.

"Ok I don't mind just we don't like have to go to extremes or anything do we?" he asked.

 "Like what?" she asked.

 "Like kissing?" he said.

"Oh no I just want to hang out with you get all buddy-buddy and im sorry in advance if I get out of hand" she said.

"What?" soujiro said?

 "Well knowing me I might just kiss you if Aoshi is there and he looks jealous or I might snuggle up with you or get mad at Aoshi and ask you to the dance only out of spite though you can go with any one you want" she said.

 "Oh that kind of out-of-hand" he said.

"Yea so will ya help me?" she asked as they approached the school.

"Yea sure but how long will this be going on?" he asked putting his skateboard away.

 "Ok well until he makes a move but If he doesn't make a move by the Thursday then we can stop by, the night of the dance" she answered.

"Ok that's fine when will we start? Today?"

"Yes right now" she said as she walked into the school. The bell was going to ring so they got their stuff and prepared for their second block together. In there second block Misao and Soujiro had to pair up to do some word problems. Of course were else would you have word problems none other than math class (every ones worst night mare MATH!). Misao instantly ran up to Soujiro claiming him her own.

'Mmm Misao always wants to be my partner. I wonder what's up I don't care.' Aoshi thought.

'Ahhh he's looking at me wait no he just looked away I think its working' Misao thought. Soon the class was over and they had to go to lunch and just like Misao had told Soujiro, she was going to sit by him at lunch. And so she did. Aoshi was a little confused but he didn't say anything, literally. The next class Ah, Home economics. One of Misaos favorite classes. Well she will hate this class soon but you'll have to read to find out. Misao walked into class and took her seat, which was conveniently located next to Soujiro.

"Alright class settle down. Today we are going to pare each of you up with a husband or wife. (Moans and confused faces from the class) Each of you will be given a husband or wife and a child. (More moans) this child is an animatronics baby doll it cries during the night need to be feed, not with real food and taken care of. There is a microchip planted in each doll it will tell me if you took care of the baby or hit it over the head with a bat and left it in your closet for the week. (Laughs and red faces from class) Also we will require you to get a baby sitter during the school days. each child is programmed to the specific list of problems.. erm … situations you are given. for example if it says your baby gets sick your child will get sick. Also you are required to spend the night at your spouses house at least once so both of you can share the responsibility of caring for a child. And I don't expect you to sleep in the same bed. I don't even care if you don't sleep in the same room. Just you have to be in the same house. (Some other people in the class's names) Aoshi and some other chick, Soujiro and some other chick ("aw man" from Misao) Sano and… and mmm who can I pare him up she has to be responsible and not bad umm Misao will do (continues down the list of other students)" the teacher said. Misao and Sano sweat drop.

"What I'm paired up with him/her," they said simultaneously. They were handed the baby doll and given their sheet of situations and jobs.

 "Mm I'm a Anchor woman for channel 5 and what are you?" Misao asked Sano. She was satisfied with her job.

" I'm a Librarian," he said. He hated his job he didn't even know were the library was.

" Well (snicker) on the bright side (cough trying to cover up her desire to laugh) this isn't a real job it's just pretend" Misao said trying to reassure him.

" And WE have a kid" he said. "Well you can take the kid tonight" he said holding the doll by the hand and plopping it in Misaos lap.

"Ok class im activating the dolls now they start out crying so hold your ears" the teacher said at the computer holding her ears as the program loaded. All the sudden every doll in the class started crying. Instinctively every "wife" in the room cradled the doll in their arms and cooed them to sleep within seconds. The "husbands" just looked astonished that they knew what to do. The girls just simply replied I don't like the sound so I did what came naturally. (Freaky enough every girl in the class said that at the same time so they all looked around scared by this strange phenomenon but soon returned to normal)

"And Sano I think we should do that whole sleep over thing tonight so we can figure out our situation and I don't want to be the only one in this "relationship" who dose all the work. And we can get the sleep over done with and wont have to worry about it" Misao said while cradling her makeshift baby in her arms.

"Um what's the point of this project?" Misao asked the teacher.

 "Um they said its to learn responsibility and that ya'll know what its like having a kid" the teacher replied.

"Oh so sano are we on for tonight?"

 "Yea I guess so," he said. The bus ride home was a living hell. First Misao forgot to sit by soujiro so she ended up in the back seat but that wasn't so bad she got to sit with Kaoru. Then kaorus baby woke up and started to cry, which caused a chain reaction of Misaos baby crying then the whole busses babies started to cry.

"I'm never having children!" Misao shouted over the loud babies cry. Soon they quieted down and Misao got off the bus. As she was walking the 2 blocks home from her bus stop someone stopped her they pulled her into an ally and whispered something into her ear then let her go on her way. She was stunned by what she heard. She was in a trance as she walked home she couldn't stop repeating "no, no I cant I wont but I have to no" Finally she opened the door and slammed it shut and that woke up her baby and her trance was broken by waaaaaaaaaaaa!

"What, what oh its just you" Misao said.

"Misao what's wrong" her grandfather said running down the stairs.

"Oh nothing it's a doll it's a class assignment I have to have it and sano is coming over tonight to work on it he has to sleep over don't worry nothing will happen and this thing wont bother you you'll get used to it. It only cries when it needs something ill be in my room bye!" She said all in one breath. She ran upstairs to do home work so she wouldn't have anything she had to do when sano got there. She finished her homework only stopping when the baby needed to be feed or played with she made sure the baby was up a lot because she wanted the baby to be able to fall asleep tonight she didn't want to play patty cake at one in the morning. Finally it was 6:00 she was finished. She had completely forgot about everything except for the baby she was playing with. She so content with what she was doing she didn't hear, or see for that matter, Sano walking into the room and watch her play with the doll erm baby for 5 min. until she got up to look at the clock to see if she had time to train. First she saw sano then remembered what she was about to do look at the clock to see if there was still time to train she had just gotten an assignment so she had to train then she remembered what the assignment was and started to cry. 'Oh man why oh why did Okon have to be in the Oniwabann group so he had to tech me to be in it so I had to become an assassin why and why do I train so much so I have to be the top assassin' Misao thought. She started to cry harder then remembered the boy sitting on her bed looking at her like she was crazy so her tears (rain cloud) slowed to a stop (mild drizzle). " Oh (sniff) sorry sano I didn't see you there (sniff)" Misao lied through her teeth. She saw him, all right a little blurry but she saw him and blushed furiously.

 'She lies she saw me and I know it but what's with the water works' sano thought. "Um sure but any way what's wrong Misao?" sano asked concern actually in his voice. (Can you believe it sano isn't being self absorbed)

" Oh nothing you know how girls are crying over little things I umm got a bad grade today and seeing the 6:30 reminded me of my grade so ya know the tears just came (sniff nervous laugh)"

'ya right like im gonna believe that but why was she crying' he thought. "Misao im not going to believe that and you know it this relationship isn't going to work if you don't communicate here" he said a little agitated. 'See what happens when you care they don't tell you a waist of my time if you ask Me.'sano thought. "Well I did get a bad grade but that's not what bothered me. Ok if I tell you this you can't tell a soul or I'll have to kill you," she said getting serious.

Sano laughed "you kill me ya right so what's your little "secret"" sano said.

"Sano im serious (snicker from sano) sano have you ever heard of the assassin the black Fox?" she asked.

"Yup but what dose that have to do with anything" he said.

" You'll see (weird look from sano sweat drop from Misao) Sano! Ok sano I'm trusting you ".

"Ok tell me!" sano said.

" Ok sano (whispering) I'm the black fox" sano fell on the floor anime style.

" Really now you the black fox?" he said with a questioning look.

 "Yes sano im the black fox the one who killed the last mayor (no response) the last governor (still no response) the last playboy bunny! (Sano started to drool) Now am I getting through to you!"?

"Wait a second you killed her! How dare you," he said. "Yes I had to. She, she well let's say she said no to my boss ("puppy-dog" look from sano) I'm sorry but sano this is a really big deal. Look I knew my boss had a follower who left for a different group now I know whom that follower was and I've been assigned to kill him," she said with tears in her eyes.

" Yea so who is this follower?" he asked. "Well this follower, I cant tell anyone so you'll have to guess I know him you know him and he doesn't talk and he can be really COLD" she said naming some clues.

"No way you have to kill Kenshin!"

"No um he's taller than kenshin,"she said.

 "Soujiro"

"NO".

" Who wait who else do I know Aoshi?  No "

."YES!" she said angrily.

"Really wait you can kill him".

 "I don't know, if he left the Oniwabann group when he was the top assassin and he was13 then how strong is he now?" she said slightly starting to cry again. " I love him and I have to kill him sano what am I going to do" she said,

"Um well I don't know cant you decline?" he asked. "No I cant I have to accept one assignment a month and I've declined every other one this month so I have to do it plus my boss says only I can beat him, if I can beat him" she said starting to cry causing her child to cry. "And this stupid doll cries at every little sound that's louder than talking!" she yelled while throwing the doll at sano. He caught it and rocked it slowly and it stopped crying.

"Misao don't this thing is like the eyes and ears of our teacher and she hates me and loves you so it balances out I can still fail ya know" he said. Misao fell over anime style at sanos reaction.

" You mean you actually care? And more to the point you can take care of a kid?" she said in disbelief.

"Ya I have a younger sister 2 years ago my parents left us in a orphanage we were taken in by a nice old woman when she died we got the house she doesn't need that much care any longer but her mom lives with us its all very complicated" he said still rocking the now snoring baby. He slowly put the baby on the bed under the covers.

"Aw sano that's so sweet you actually like kids and aren't forced to like them," Misao said with envy in her voice.

"Why what experience have you had with kids?" he asked. "Well I've been forced to see the hurting faces of the children of the men and woman I've killed so I was always so cold and heartless when Okon told me I should baby-sit so I would get more used to kids and learn to love again well I just got this whole love thing down pat when Aoshi came" she said.

 "And now you have to kill him and either break your own heart or break Okons heart for quitting the Oniwabann group and saving his life" he finished her sentence. "Exactly well I'm going to change into my p.j's then we can get started with our project so watch the kid. Figure out if it's a girl or a boy and think of a name" she said.

"Wait why do I have to do all that and your only changing it wont take you that long will it?" he asked.

" Well you have to figure it out because well because, because! And im taking a shower and it takes longer than you think your over so I have to look cute" she said then blushed. "Um well you know what I mean I don't want to look ugly!" she said running into the bathroom.
