A/N's: Sorry for the wait, I started school , and for those who remember and know, it's hectic the first few weeks... so I may not be updating as much now, maybe a chapter or two a week. But then you never know.....
For the Pairing thingy, I'll give everyone till 13th . So far 1 for A/M. We shall see!!!
I also hope I'm getting better at making the story format better. Easier to read, hopefully I'll learn the HTML so it will look REALLY good but doubtful, so I'll make due.

Sing For Me

Quickly placing her hair up into a messy braid, Misao glanced around the empty locker room. The duo had arrived at 8:30, after having been stuck in traffic for around 1/2 an hour, and had been at the gym for around 3 hours. Misao was now ready to go.
Grabbing her stuff and entering the main area, her eyes automatically sought out her companion, and she smiled slightly, with a hint of sadness when she saw where she was, showing a young girl the correct defensive stance.
Kaoru's parents had run a dojo/gym in Chicago, where they had taught people how to defend others as well as themselves. From what Misao understood, her friend had been training since she was five, being expected to take over once she got older. Destiny however it seemed had different plans for the girl. At fifteen, Kaoru's father had been about to start her as an instructor, when a fire claimed both her parents lives and the dojo, taking away her friends whole life in one short hour.
Shaking those depressing thoughts from her head, the tiny girl watched for a few more moments before setting forth and letting her know she wanted to go, but before Misao could reach her friend, she slammed into someone and flew to the floor.
"Oi, watch out kid." the tall man in front of her said attempting to help her up. "KID!" Misao screeched indiginitly(?)
"I'm 21!" she exclaimed pushing the males hand away and getting to her feet herself. " Well how was I to know! I mean you look like a child." he stated loudly his voice a little gruff, grabbing many people's attention, Kaoru's included.
Eye flashing, Misao stood up to her full 5'2 (( I know she's only 4'9, but please bare with me)) and stared up into the man's chocolate brown eyes and said through clenched teeth " I may look like a child, but thats at least better than a ROOSTER!" she exclaimed all but yelling the last word.
" WHY YOU, I do NOT look like a rooster you little WEASEL!" he spat back just as annoyed at the tiny girl in front of him.
"Yeah sure you don't ROOSTER HEAD!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Excuse me." Kaoru said to the young girl next to her before sighing heavily and starting over to where Misao and some tall man with the symbol for BAD on his back were currently in a yelling match. Stopping five feet away , she watched, it was ,after all,an amusing sight, her small friend standing in front of a man around 6'3 as they yelled back and forth about Roosters and Weasels.
Glancing down at her watch, she widened her eyes and gasped, they had 1 hour to get to the audition, which was ACROSS TOWN. Surging forward she covered the final five feet quickly, grabbing her friends arm.
" Misao." Kaoru gasped trying to pull her away from where she was poking the tall man in the chest. " We have to go, or we'll miss the audition!." she rushed out, hoping that she would listen, as she dragged her away.
" Let go of me Kaoru, I'm gonna pound him into the ground." Misao complained struggling against the grip that held her.
" You, pound me?, HA Unlikely WEASEL." the man said giving off a confidant smirk before crossing his arms over his broad chest and raising an eyebrow. " I mean your nothing but a tiny little child. Go ahead let her go, Tanuki." he stated empasing the last word.
Narrowing her eyes to slits, Kaoru took a deep calming breath and stated " I would love nothing better to let her go. However we're late for a previous appointment, therefore neither of us can waste time, beating DOWN an immature little Rooster head." her voice was calm, however both females eyes protrayed pain if they ever ran into him again.
Tugging her friend away before her could respond, she told Misao to go wait in the car while she changed and showered quickly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"ImgonnadieImgonnadieImgonnadie..." The mantra had been taken up by Misao only minutes after the two girls had entered into Kaoru's Ford Aspire. The car wasn't that large, it was rather tiny and in all honesty reminded Misao of something you would see about 30 clowns climb out of when attending a circus. The color of the vehicle didn't help to dispell the circus association; a blue color that Misao thought looked more purple.
"Would you stop that!" Kaoru finally snapped after listening to the chant for five minutes straight. As she spoke she sharply turned the wheel to the right, the force of the turn sending the girl in the passanger front seat slamming against the door with a 'thud'. "Your ruining my concentration!"
"What concentration?!" Misao's eyes slid open hesitantly, then slammed forcable shut once again when they took in the fast approaching brake lights of the truck in front of them. "As best as I can tell, you are NOT concentration on driving at all!" Misao slammed forward, the seatbelt, or, when Kaoru's was driving more approapratly to be called a 'lifebelt', the one thing that saved her from a trip through the windsheild. A terrifyed cry followed. "YOUR GOING TO KILL US!"
"No I'm not. I'm also not going to let you be late for this, Misao! And if I have to break a few traffic laws to get you there..."
Misao clutched more tightly to the sides of the seat, knuckles long turned white from the stregnth of the grip.
"A *few* traffic laws?!" She questioned from between clenched teeth, before beginning to list. "Running a red light, speeding, passing in a no passing zone, tailgating..." Misao dared to crack one eye open to glare at Kaoru's profile. "And all that before we had even gone five miles! Just how many more laws have you broken since then?!"
"Oh, not to many more." The driver responded, lifting one hand from the steering wheel to flap it at Misao as if shooing away a fly. The color of the younger and more terrifyed girl's cheeks whitened visably. "Hands on the wheel!!!! ON THE WHEEL!!!" She commanded, voice tight with fear, opened eye shutting once again.
"*Really* Misao, you need to calm down."
"And *you* need to take a few safety driving lessons!"
Kaoru only 'hrumph'ed in response, anything else she may have said cut off by the loud blare of a car's horn as Kaoru cut in front of the oncomming vehicle to pull into the theatre parking lot. At the sound Misao gulped and sent up a silent prayer before picking up on her mantra once again.
"ImgonnadieImgonnadieImgonnadieImgonnadie..." Turning her attention from searching the parking lot for a breif moment Kaoru glared at her friend. As if she felt the older girl's gaze Misao opened her mouth to yell at her once again. "EYES ON THE ROAD!!!!"
Spotting a vacant spot Kaoru quickly slid into it before turing the car off. "No need to, we're here." Two seconds after the words were said Misao was out of the car, soon followed by Kaoru. Over the top of the roof the auditionee glared at her supporter.
"When we go home," She began, her voice gaining back some of the stregnth it had lost in her fear on the ride over. "I'M driving."
