A/N: Oh gosh! I'm such a baka!!! Ahhh, feel soo stoopid! How could I have posted the wrong chap?! I'm really new at this sooo gomen!!!! *hits head against wall* I'll repost the uneven chap in the next couple of days. *pouts* I hope you don't think I'm that pathetic! That's what you get for posting at two forty-five in the morning.
"Himura Kenshin" was the name on the whole high school's lips and it had become a daily ritual for the majority of the high school girls to chase him all the way from locker to front door. And like everyday since her initial run in with Kenshin when the bell rang Kaoru quickly left her classroom and retreated to the school gym in hopes of avoiding the mob of girls that she knew would be pursuing that poor boy.
Misao wasn't there when Kaoru arrived in the gym so she decided to get a head start on her homework. Math truly was evil.
Kaoru heard the gym doors burst open. She looked up expecting her friend but to her surprise the person stumbling into the gym wasn't Misao; it was Himura-san. He was backing away from the door with quick deliberate steps.
"Oh, hi," Kaoru said casually. "I thought you were Misao."
His red hair flew as he spun around to meet the possible threat. "Oro," he squeaked a little fearfully.
"I'm not going to chase you," Kaoru replied haughtily. Himura nearly sighed.
"Himura-san, wait up!" echoed down the hall along with the pounding of a dozen pairs of sneakers and high heels.
"You want me to get rid of them?" Kaoru offered and Himura nodded vigorously. "Okay but you have to play along."
The gym door burst open and a dozen girls stormed in and stopped dead in their tracks. Kaoru had slipped her hand into Kenshin's callused one and was slowly walking towards them to the door, her backpack slung over her shoulder.
"I love you" s died on the lips of every girl as the two walked down the hall and out of the building.
As soon as the pair was out of sight, Kaoru dropped Kenshin's hand and pulled her cell phone out of her jeans pocket.
"Misao, hey, meet me by my locker," Kaoru said. Kenshin was still there looking sheepish when Kaoru turned back around.
"Arigatou," Kenshin said and smiled.
"No problem, I'm Kamiya Kaoru by the way. Going to my locker," she said and started walking again.
To her surprise he continued with her down the steps and to her locker. When they arrived Misao was already there waiting.
"Hey, Kaoru," Misao said with raised eyebrows when she saw Kenshin behind her.
"Helped him get rid of them," Kaoru explained. Misao nodded at her and beamed.
Suddenly a voice boomed, "Deshi, I wanted to watch you get chased by a bunch of little girls."
"Shishou, it's not fun de gozaru yo," Kenshin said not amused. Kaoru and Misao turned around to see who was talking with Kenshin. He was a tall muscular man wearing a stupid white coat and carrying a bottle of osake; it was obviously Hiko Seijyurou, the rich, arrogant businessman who had just moved to town. Both girls were sure the school board would not appreciate him carrying the bottle around campus.
"How did you manage to out run all of those girls so quickly?" Kenshin's Shishou asked.
"Kaoru-dono helped me," Kenshin said. Hiko cast a glance at Kaoru and gave a knowing smirk.
"These are your new friends, huh? Why don't you invite them to dinner to thank her for saving you?" He suggested.
"Food?!" Misao exclaimed with wide eyes. Kaoru had made her study for a science test all through lunch.
"Kaoru-dono would you and Misao-dono like to go to dinner with us?" Kenshin asked.
"Food!?" Misao exclaimed again.
"Well." Kaoru said.
"Kaoru, food!? Oooo, food! You're paying Hiko-sama?" Misao asked incredulously. When Hiko nodded she continued. "Can we go to Genki Sushi*? I like how the food goes around and you have to catch it! Mmmm. Masago* and Unagi*! I like masago best, it goes pop!"
"Of course Misao-dono," Kenshin said for his shishou who had already turned to walk to the car.

Misao stormed into the Genki Sushi twenty minutes later braid flailing with Kaoru, Kenshin, and Hiko in tow. Almost before the waitress could seat them Misao headed for the booth nearest the train station.
"This one!" Misao yelled. Kaoru quickly crawled into the booth before Misao could, as she knew that Misao would chase the dishes that she wanted around the room if she couldn't catch them on the first go.
"Ooo, I haven't had a chance to come here for a while! Okina says that I cost too much. But it's not like I get the most expensive dishes!"
The waitress came back, "Would you like any other drinks?" she asked politely she lowered a blue teapot onto the table.
"How about a Pepsi?" Misao said happily. The waitress nodded.
"And can I have a bowl of miso soup and some rice?" Kaoru asked. The waitress nodded again then walked away and Kaoru picked up the teapot. She reached across the table and turned over Kenshin's cup and daintily filled it with ocha*. Then in turn she filled Hiko's, Misao's, and lastly her own. Kaoru was at dinner with two people whom she didn't really know and her father's lessons of proper etiquette kept replaying in her head.
The miniature train carrying all the sushi was coming back around and Kaoru could tell that Misao was getting anxious. Kenshin, she noticed, also perked up ever so slightly in his seat.
Hiko noticed too and said contemplatively as he sipped his sake, "When Kenshin was six he chased the train when he saw a huge ebi on a sushi. The poor lady sitting in the booth behind us must have been traumatized when he derailed the train and landed in the seat next to her."
"ORO?! Do you have to tell everyone that?" He responded to Hiko. "That was how I got this scar de gozaru," Kenshin then said to Kaoru indicating the downward slash that made up half of his cross-shaped scar on his cheek. "I fell across her knife. But I did get my." the rest of Kenshin's sentence was cut off by Misao's shout.
"Ahh, I want that one!" she threw herself across Kaoru at the three masago sushi on a yellow plate passing them.
"Misao!" Kaoru yelled. She had just been about to sip her tea but let go of her cup just in time.
Weasel girl pulled it off of the train and slid back to her seat. Kenshin too had removed a plate. He was looking down at his plate of sushi happily a stupid smile plastered onto his face. Kaoru though was waiting for the waitress to come back with her bowl of miso soup.
"Here's your soup miss," the waitress said. Kaoru smiled at her and picked up her spoon.
"Do you mind?" she asked spoon poised to deposit generous amounts of rice into her soup.
Kenshin nodded then Hiko nodded and said, "But didn't your parents teach you any manners? I taught my baka deshi but unluckily he took the words to heart." Kaoru scowled.
Before Kaoru had even taken a bite of her soup (wow, that sounds weird. but she's eating the rice in the soup!*) Misao had already downed one of the sushi in front of her and gotten a plate of Unagi and some sashimi* (looked like Ahi) and mixed some shoyu* into a glob of wasabi*. There was a few stray orange masago on the corner of her mouth. Kaoru looked at her friend then at the masago sushi and took one.
Misao gasped, "Kaoru!" But the other girl had already dumped out most of the eggs onto the remainder of her rice, something she did at home. Then she ate the rest of the sushi rice wrapped in nori*, "Mou!"
"You can get another," Kaoru smiled.
"But I. I wanted that one!" the girl moaned and everybody laughed and Hiko took another swig of sake.
Vocabulary: 1. Genki Sushi- do they have them on the mainland? I dunno.
2. Masago- fish eggs. They are also called tobiko (what I usually call them) or ebiko. They're flying fish eggs not salmon eggs. The little orange ones. AAHHh soo good!!^_^
3. Unagi- eel. Sorta reminds me of sardines -_-; Taste good though.^_^
4. Ocha- tea. Good.
5. Ebi-shrimp
6. Sashimi- raw fish. I don't like it but I'm trying to learn!! It's slimy! Poke is .. hard for me to eat too.
7. Shoyu- you know what this is right? Soy sauce for those of you who don't.
8. Wasabi- now you have to know that!! It's good and green!!
9. Nori- seaweed. How can you not like nori?! It's a mandatory part of life! You need it for Spam musubis and musubis in general!! Heck eats it all alone!! Da Korean one is good ^_^
A/N: Ahhhhh, I love tobiko!!!!! It's sooo good! They go pop!! I can just eat it and some rice. And miso soup! Grandma makes great miso soup. I could eat it all day. Ok so maybe in Japan they don't put their rice in their soup but in Hawaii we do. It's pretty sad how much Japanese food I eat. close to none! What kind of Japanese am I? Gotta learn to eat. tamago gohan and natto. its gross though _. I'll try. completely disgusting!! But I can eat my tofu right out of the carton. well after you drain the water!
