Chapter 2
Misao Makimachi was bored. Her parents were away on a 'business trip' and Kaoru was at home on her computer doing homework, so they couldn't talk on the phone or anything. Misao glared at her bedroom walland picked up the phone. Maybe she could call Aoushi and see if he really liked her?...
"Drat" she said out loud, "I forgot. They're all at some damn party...Aoushi and Sano and Shishio andSoujiro...I wonder if Kenshin went too?"
She put the phone back down and looked out the window. It was starting to rain and she could hear thunder. Misao flopped onto her bed, and lay staring at the ceiling. She needed to TALK!
'I am so hopeless.' she thought.
'I'm an absolute chatterbox and when i can't talk to someone or have something to do I get totally hyper!'
"Well," she said to her ceiling,
" I suppose I can turn on the local news, listen to the radio or something." She rolled towards the edge of her bed and turned the radio on, wondering if the weather would be on soon.
_______________________________________
Kauru, like Misao, was bored as all hell. She had nobody to talk to and nothing to do online. She turned back to her essay for school with a resigned moan.
"I don't want to write this! ... I wonder if anybody's busy. I wonder what Kenshin's doing-"
Kauru stopped that train of thought, knowing thinking about Kenshin could send her into a daydream for hours. She turned off the computer and stretched, feeling taut muscles in her neck relax.
"I wonder if I should call Misao; she's probably even more bored than I am right now."
Smiling, she picked up the phone and dialed the number.
________________________________
"Hello?"
"Misao? It's Kaoru."
"Hey!!! I'm sooo glad you called. I was almost dying of boredom!!"
Kaoru giggled into the reciever at her friend's enthusiasm and relief.
"Almost? Are you sure I didn't wake you from the dead? Anyway, what's up?"
Misao suddenly became serious.
"Um, Kaoru...have you listened to the news lately?"
"No, why?" Kaoru asked, suddenly worried.
"Well, there was a fire...it's Kenshin's house. His Uncle is badly burned, they're not sure if he'll make it..."
"OH MY GOD!!!", said Kaoru in a state of shock. Frantic with worry, she began bombarding her friend with jumbled and concrned questions.
"Is Kenshin okay? Where will he stay??"
"Well...umm..."
"Spit it out, Misao, what didn't you tell me."
"Well, Kenshin's...disappeared."
"What?!!", Kaoru gasped.
"What if he's dead! What if..."
"Listen girl.", Misao said in an effort to comfort her friend,
"I know you care alot about Kenshin, but the firefighters are sure he's alive, so don't go all sobby on me, K?...I'm sure that whatever reasons he has for avoiding the police are good ones, and none of our business."
"Are you saying he's a criminal?!!" Kaoru said, outraged.
"No, no!" Misao said quickly.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Kenshin's a junior; he can take care of himself."
"He's only a year older than us!" Kaoru wailed.
"A year's a longtime. Can you hold on? I've got another call."
"Okay." Kaoru said weakly as Misao switched lines.
________________________________
Kenshin was really annoyed. He had used up almost all his change to call Sanosuke, Soujiro, Shishio, and even Aoshi! He figured they were all probably out partying somewhere.
'Those jerks.' he thought.
'Now I'm going to be out in the rain all night or something.'
"Well, " he said aloud,
"I guess the only person left in Sou's friend, Misao. She does hang out with us alot, so I uess I can trust her not to call the police or something, but her parents will probably throw a fit."
Kenshin picked up the phone and dialed.
'Please let her be home.'
_______________________________
"Hello, this is Misao speaking."
"It's Kenshin Himura."
"KENSHIN?!!" Misao exclaimed.
"Heard about your house. You OK?"
"Yeah. Uncle's hurt. I've got nowhere to stay and I was wondering if you could...um...reach Sano or the guys for me." he said somewhat awkwardly.
"Umm...they'll be partying all night...you could stay with me!"
"Oro...what about your parents?"
"They're on a two-week businesstrip. They don't need to know."
"Umm..."
"Come ON. You need a place to stay."
"Alright."
"Great." said Misao.
"Be here at 10 tonight. Half'n hour."
"OK. Misao?"
"Yeah? What?"
"You...you won't tell the police I'm here...right?"
"That's your business. I'm not going to try and pry information out of you or call the police. You know that." she said sternly.
"Besides, you'll tell the rest of us when you're ready."
"Yeah...and Misao?"
"Hmm?"
"Thanks."
'Wow!' thought Misao. 'Wait 'til Kaoru hears.'
______________________________
"Kaoru? I'm back."
"Cool. Who were you talking to?"
"Kenshin! He's staying over my place...I think he's really pset and needs some cheering up. Why don't you come over and we can throw a party for him?!"
"OMIGOD!! How is he? Is he OK? Why is he staying at your house?!"
"Wow, calm down, Kaoru!! Geez, I kew you liked him, but I didn't think it was this bad! And do I detect a hint of jealousy? I bet you wish he'd called YOU first...hehe."
"Heyy! Nofair! ...but..."
" Whats the matter?" asked Misao, worried her friend was going to have a breakdown or something.
"Well...I'm not sure Kenshin would like people around him right now, that's all. I mean, he probably has alot on his mind right now and wouldn't appreciate us crowding his space."
"Relax! When i've got something heavy on my mind I just have to talk to people about it. Remember that time Aoushi ::sigh:: ahem. Remember that time he was going out with that slut Yumi? I was so mad, but then you guys threw me a party and I felt so much better! I'm sure this is just what Kenshin needs."
"Well...alright. I ust didn't want to intrude, that's all. When is he gonna be there?"
"30 min. If you come over in 5 or 10 I can do your makeup and we can wait for him sound good?"
"Great! Hey, why don't I bring a pillow and sleeping bag and..."
"A sleepover? Kaoru! Shame on you."
" Eww! Not like THAT! And if I'm gonna be there anytime soon I've gotta leave NOW! okay?!"
"'K, cya in a couple minutes then. What else are you bringing, your little brother, your teddy bear, popcorn..."
"I'm hanging up, bye!" Kaoru ssaid hurriedly.
"Bye Kaoru."
-click-
Misao grinned, thinking,
'Well, well. Maybe a sleepover is just the thing Kenshin needs to distract him.'
___________________________
Kaoru hung up the phone, her hands shaking.
"What if he doesn't want me to be there?"
'...What if he's flirting with Misao?...she likes Aoshi, so that's OK...'
"Maybe I shouldn't...no, I'll go. I'll go, I'll go, I'll go."
She quickly packed, left a note for her mom, and rushed out the door.
