A/N: This is my first attempt at a RK fan fiction. The other stories I've written are Hp, but sadly I only got 5 chaps of it up before POOF! my computer lost the files, so I've put it on hold. I would like criticism (but be gentle) and hopefully someone will enjoy my story. By the way, there will be no Japanese in here, the reason is I'm not of the nationality and I have no Idea about the grammar, or correct uses of the language (hell I have enough trouble with ENGLISH and I grew up with the language). So instead making a fool of myself and annoying people who actually know the language I'll avoid it. SORRY FOR THE CRAPPY FORMAT I ONLY HAVE TEXT SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!
Disclaimer; None of the ideas expressed below are actually mine. They are told to me by Luther and Ferdinand, the five inch tall space aliens who live under my desk. In return for these ideas, I have given them permission to eat any dust bunnies they may find under there. (Rurouni Kenshin and I'Will Survive' don't belong to them either but hey, who keep track)

" ?Tequila!" the man in front of Kaoru demanded, slapping a five down on the bar, shaking her head Kaoru pushed the currency back towards the burly man. "Jed, you know we don't serve Tequila here, Kolman thinks it's a waste of alcohol." Kaoru told the familiar customer " Besides, Ally was in here yesterday and informed us we're NOT to give you anything Alcoholic, something about your heart? So how about a Dr.Pepper instead?" she admonished the 58 year old man gently pushing the tall glass towards him, a smile on her lips. Grudging Jed took it and complained " My daughter-in-law was here telling you not to give me Alcohol huh, damn interfering women, can't keep her nose out of my business." " Aww, come on, you know she's just worried about you, after all she promised your son she'd look after you remember?" Misao commented wiping down the bar in front of the two, smiling brightly as the man moved away sipping the drink and grumbling. Turning to her best friend and roommate she chuckled as Kaoru rolled her eyes and moved off down the bar to serve the next person.
Yawning Misao placed her elbows on the wooden surface behind her, allowing her eyes to roam around the familiar atmosphere. She'd been working at Rock Steady, a popular Karoke bar in the city for 3 years. There were several round tables set up in front of a small stage, with a monitor resting to the left of it, and a medium sized dance floor off to the right, with a DJ box built into the wall. There were several smaller rooms, for private parties and such, but this room was as Kaoru would say ' For those people who wish to PUBLICLY humiliate themselves, not just humiliate themselves, but publicly do it.'
It wasn't busy now, only one or two of the smaller rooms were in sevices, but nothing more than that because it was still early. Plus it was off season for Karoke as Kolman, the owner and boss of Rock Steady, would say. Students were taking finals and getting ready for summer vacation, and tourist season hadn't really begun yet. Only the people who came here regulary, Like Jedidaiah, Jed for short, Falnks and his daughter in law, Ally showed up a lot . All in all there were only 10 people in the whole establishment,Including the patrons, Kolman and Zeke the D.J. Sighing Misao went back to wiping down the bar, it would be slow tonight, she could tell. Even for the off season.

Turning to study her friend ,Kaoru, wished they could leave, but they had closing shift today, which ment staying till 1:30 in the morning. Everyone else had disappeared, Kolman for a date, Zeke to check on his kids,and Jed for god knew where. Reaching up to rub her eyes, Kaoru giggled as Misao layed her head on the bar and mumbled" Ru what time is it." almost incoherently. Glancing at her watch the Blue eyed girl said " We still have 45 minuets till we can close up Misao, don't go to sleep yet." With a groan, she watched as the smaller girl starighten up and yawned, before trudging around the front of the bar and pratcially throwing herself in a chair. " Kolman is SO going to owe us for this" she grumbled
pushing her long braid behind her and crossing her arms over her chest. " Don't I know it." Kaoru agreed placing two drinks down on the table before taking a seat across from her roommate " but how often does he get dates, I mean really." she emphasied before disolving into a fit of giggle with her friend. Kolman was a tall,skinny, balding 39 year old who seemed to live for Star Trek and sci-fi shows and RS, the last time he'd had a date they could remember hearing about was 2 years ago, and that had turned out to be with a cross dresser name Candy. Snickering, Misao leaned forward grabbing the drink in front of her
"Pepsi?" she questioned starring into the glass of what she assumed was soda, before looking up at her nodding friend. " IS there any other KIND of soda?" the female before her jested before taking a big gulp of the liquid. "True" the 21 year old agreed before following Kaoru example.
Setting her glass down and running a hand through her long locks, Kaoru grinned " Hey Misao, why don't you get up there and have some fun?" she suggested motioning to the stage, wiggling her eye brows "I know how much you love to sing and besides, you gotta pratice if your ever gonna make it big."
Shaking her head, Misao smiled sadly " Nah thats alright, all that ever was, was a silly little girls dream, Ru."
Widening her eyes, she glared at her friend, " We've been living together for what 4 1/2 years now and all you ever talked about was wanting to sing and be on broadway. NOW you giving up, you have a great voice. Why should you give up?" Scrunching up her forehead in confusion Kaoru, looked at her friend through her bangs. " Is it because of what Adrian said to you? I thought you were over him? Beside what the hell did he know, he was just trying to hurt you. Come on Sugar High," she teased using Misao old nickname " I've never seen you perform before. I've heard you sing but never seen you perform. Sides' what could it hurt, there's no one else here but you and me." Swallowing Misao met her friends eyes and summoned her grinned, "Your right, I can't let that toad sucker ruin my dream,and now that you mention it I haven't performed for you have I?" Bounding out of her seat with shining eyes, she hurried over to the monitor and began searching for a song. " I have just the song that will make me feel better two." Jumping on to the stage her previous tiredness forgotten she winked at the only person in the audiance.
Amused at how fast her friends moods could swing, Kaoru was glad she'd suggested that Misao perform for her, thry both needed entertainment if they were to stay awake. When the music for Gloria Gaynor's (?) 'I Will Survive' began pouring out of the speakers, Kaoru laughed and gave her small friend a thumbs up. Settleing back into the chair, she gasped when Misao began to sign. She'd heard her young friend sing before, but when she was up on stage she changed. Her eyes sparkled with happiness and gone was the young girl hurting girl she met five years ago, in her place was a confidant women who had what it took to make it big.
