A/N: There goes my resolution -- and it didn't even last long. O well. Sorry guys for the super late update! Well at least I didn't give up on this story and I won't anytime soon.

Chapter Four: Trouble

Tea ran after Omasu this was all her fault.

"Oh! Osamu I'm so terribly sorry! I didn't know! He was just helping me out with Megumi!" Tea shouted after her. Omasu stopped.

"H-he was?" Omasu asked stuttering.

"You've heard of Misao's and Megumi's bet haven't you?" Tea asked. Omasu nodded. "Well Megumi was trying to persuade me into involving myself with it."

"Please don't be mad at Enishi, it wasn't his fault."

Omasu put her head in her palms. "Oh, no I jumped into conclusions again. What am I going to do?"

Misao finally caught up with them, but she heard everything.

"Wah!" Misao said unhappy with how things turned out. Then something hit her. If she could get Enishi and Omasu back together it would count and she wouldn't have to look for any more possible candidates. "I know! I'll help you out Omasu! I'll get you two back together if it's the last thing I do!"

Only it wouldn't be as easy as it sounded.

News spread quickly in the school, and things weren't going as planned. Not that Misao had one but the events weren't helping.

Misao had found the perfect couple already and she just had to go ruin it. Well she didn't actually do anything but she was putting herself down anyway.

"How did I get stuck in the middle of this bet anyway?" Sano complained as he passed Megumi. Misao almost laughed at the sight of Sano sulking around. Well almost.

She really needed something to cheer her up right about now.

"I know! I'll call Jiya! I'm sure he won't mind and plus I haven't talked to him for a long time!" Misao declared to no one and had caused a scene once again.

Misao headed to the phone booth somewhere near the office. Everyone was aloud to use it... just that no one actually did. So it was all open for Misao.

"Hello?" Jiya asked.

Misao was glad she had gotten Jiya instead of the answering machine.

"Hi!" Misao answered.

"Ah! Misao!" Jiya said sounding really startled something he never usually sounded like on the phone.

Misao's good mood suddenly dropped.

"Is something wrong?" Misao asked worriedly.

"No! Nothing at all! Just startled that you called is all!" Jiya said sounding much happier than he should be.

"Oh," Misao said not being fooled one bit.

"I-I have some good news Misao," Jiya said rather nervously. "Would you like me to tell you now or when you come home for spring vacation?"

Misao smiled. "I'm coming home for spring vacation?!"

"Of course! What would spring vacation in Kyoto be with out you?" Jiya said he was glad to have been able to change the subject Misao could tell. She was too focused on what he was saying though, to have cared.

"Then let's make it better by telling me the good news later!" Misao said.

After that phone call every single worry Misao had seem to melt away only to have them shoved in front of her face once again.

"Misao!" Kaoru shouted as she ran up to her. She seemed to be stressed.

"Is there something wrong Kouru?" Misao said feeling her distress.

"I-its A-aoshi!" Kaoru said panting because she had been running.

"W-what do you mean?"

Nothing good could be happening because of the way Kaoru turned away. Kaoru stopped talking and there was a long moment of silence.

"Kaoru! What happened?!" Misao asked her frustration getting the better of her. She started shaking Kaoru.

Kenshin showed up from behind Misao and put a hand on her shoulders.

"Misao please calm down," he said softly.

"He got into a car accident," Kaoru said quietly.

Misao looked shocked but there was a question ringing in her mind.

"Why are you telling me this? Shouldn't you be telling this to his family?" Misao asked confused.

"B-but in the school records it said that he was your older brother!" Kaoru said shocked.

"What are you talking about?! I don't have any relatives except my grandfather! My family died in a car accident along with my older brother!" Misao blurted out. She was so confused and the tension wasn't helping one bit. Tears were falling freely down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry Misao- I didn't know," Kaoru said.

"Don't be! I don't need anyone's pity!" Misao said as she broke free of Kenshin's grip and started running out of the school.

An hour later Misao and Aoshi's roommates still didn't know what had happened to the both of them.

"Maybe Aoshi ran away with Misao?" Enishi suggested. Soujiro just stared at him and gave him a funny look.

"That couldn't possibly it," Soujiro said, "but it does prove that you have a much perverted mind than everyone thought."

"What are you talking about?" Enishi asked. They soon started arguing almost forgetting about their roommates. They would have if it wasn't for the knock on the door.

"Soujiro! Enishi! Open the door please," it was Kenshin. It was a fact that neither Aoshi, Soujiro, nor Enishi was very fond of him. Enishi didn't seem to want to budge so Soujiro took the liberty to open the door.

"Sorry to bother you but the principle wanted to send this note to you," Kenshin said. "More than likely it's about Misao and Aoshi."

"Arigatou," Soujiro said and waited for Kenshin to leave before he shut the door.

Soujiro opened the note and started reading it.

"So?" Enishi asked. "What does it say?"

Soujiro frowned. "Aoshi is in the hospital and Misao is missing."

"What?!" Enishi asked. "Why is Aoshi in the hospital? And why is Misao missing? Why are we just being told now?"

"I don't know," Soujiro said calmly. "Maybe we should go visit Aoshi and ask him ourselves."

"And how about my second question?" Enishi not fully satisfied.

"Maybe someone around the school will know," Soujiro said getting slightly irritated but still smiled like always. "We can split up and one of us can go see Aoshi while the other one looks for Misao."

"Good idea!" Enishi said smiling. Soujiro didn't like his reaction to his plan. Normally Enishi would just make up another plan and they would go with that. "You go look for Misao I'm going to talk to Aoshi. Plus everyone knows I'm no good with girls."

Soujiro sighed but nodded. That was almost expected. Enishi always took the easier way out; it was natural for him.

Tomoe silently took a bit of the sandwich she made for herself when there was a sudden knock on the door. She opened the door with one had while she held her sandwich with her other hand.

It was Megumi.

"Can I help you Megumi?" she asked sweetly.

"Well it's sort of about your brother," Megumi said.

"Oh, I didn't know you were one of his fans," Tomoe said gesturing for her to come in. Megumi held up her hands in front of her in defense.

"Oh I'm not!" Megumi said. "Well you see I had a bet with weasel girl on who could get one her roommates a date with someone. The loser has to go with a date with Sanosuke. Right now my main target is Enishi, seeing that after Omasu had slapped him he is now currently single."

"I see," Tomoe said nodded. She took a bite of her sandwich and swallowed. "Well knowing Enishi as well as I do he's pretty much into every single type of women there is."

"I really should be happy that it seems I have a lot of choices to choose from but unfortunately I have too much," Megumi said. "If he really is into every single type there is there is no way I can possibly narrow it down."

"Well he doesn't like gothic girls for sure and he doesn't like girls who has gone out with certain people and liked certain people. Like for instance he doesn't like Yumi because she likes Shishio."

"Okay," Megumi said getting out a little notebook. Tomoe raised an eyebrow but didn't question her.
