Well, well, well...look who has decided to update. ME!!
Good afternoon, minna! The zoo trip was AWESOME. I walked, talked, and smelled the animals. LOL.
I just found out today that I won Midori's contest in 'Ballad of a Lonely Heart'. I AM SO HONOURED AND EXCITED!!
I also would like to point out that this chapter has been a LONG time coming, but I was sidetracked with getting my G1 (level one driver's license).
That's enough about me. ON WITH THE SHOW.

Chapter 11: Nighttime Attacker

Kenshin and Sano waved as Aoshi stepped out of his Mustang. A gust of wind blew his bangs around wildly. He paused and looked to the now gray sky. The clouds hung high and the sun fought to trickle through any cracks. With a sigh, he hefted his duffel bag onto his shoulder, and strode determinedly towards his awaiting friends.
"Afternoon, Aoshi! Haven't seen you in a bit. Anything interesting happen to you?" Sano greeted him, a smirk on plastered on his face. Aoshi ignored the inquiry, and turned his attention to Kenshin.
"Hey Aoshi. I heard what happened. Kaoru told me. She said that she phoned Misao earlier and threatened the details out of her." He chuckled. Kaoru was so aggressive when it came to what she wanted. He knew that first-hand. Both of them turned around to see Sano making puckering noises and hugging air.
"Oh Aoshi! You are such a good kisser!" He mimicked the little weasel before bursting into laughter, and it wasn't until Kenshin clobbered him with his bag that he calmed down. "Ow! You didn't have to hit me so hard! I was only kidding." Aoshi just smirked evilly.
"At least I can get a girl, Sano. You have to chase that fox around like a little puppy." He then turned and strode into the building, a rare grin gracing his features. Kenshin took this opportunity to laugh like a hyena, while Sano fumed, clenching his fists and stomping his foot.
"I'll get you for that, you stupid ice cube!" He screeched, but it fell on deaf ears, unheard by everyone except Kenshin.

They were sparring. It was a three-point match, and both were dead-set two points. Their sensei was watching the two boys closely, almost as if he was examining their movements. Aoshi and Kenshin were matched, that much was obvious, but Aoshi's full concentration was beginning to wain. 'What could be on his mind? I hope it's not girls, or else the match is lost. Dammit, where is my sake?'
"You're mind is elsewhere, I can sense it, Aoshi. I'm going to win." Kenshin said, smirking at his opponent. Aoshi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he adjusted his stance slightly.
"Sense this!" He yelled, then disappeared into thin air. All that could be seen by the other students was the occasional blur, and the sparks from their weapons clashing violently.
A cry could be heard from somewhere in the room, and then Kenshin was on the ground, pinned by Aoshi's kodachi. "Match point." The taller boy grinned, then helped his friend to his feet. They were both breathing heavily, their best efforts put into it. Their sensei clapped sarcastically from the side of the mat, taking a swig of sake.
"Good job boys. Congratulations on your victory, Shinomori." Aoshi just shrugged, and walked over to the wall where Sano was talking animatedly to some other students.
After they had showered and changed, the three boys parted ways in the parking lot, promising to speak on the phone later. It was now dark outside, and the night sky sparkled with millions of stars. Aoshi threw his duffel bag into the trunk, thinking about what Kenshin had said earlier. "If you don't forgive yourself for mistakes you have made, then you are handling a double-edged sword. You can't move forward, and you can't move back." He didn't know where his friend had come up with such wise words, but he found them eerily truthful.
Turning the key in the ignition, Aoshi listened as the sleek car roared to life. He pulled out of the parking lot enlightened, and sped out into the chilly night, his destination not his own home.

She turned the taps tightly, making sure no water would drip. Misao slunk further into the steaming water, succumbing to the relaxing warmth. She still didn't know why Aoshi had left so suddenly that morning, and wondered if it was something she had done. Sighing, she lifted one leg out of the water, wiggling her toes. "This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none, and this little piggy has got it bad for Aoshi-sama." Misao giggled at herself, then stepped out of the bath, grabbing her blue terry cloth robe.
She hummed all the way to her bedroom, and shut the door quietly behind her. It was strangely cool, and she noticed the window was open. "Wait a minute, I didn't open it...must have been Okina or something." Misao shrugged, then strode over to the window and shut it tightly. Glancing down through the glass, she noticed something odd about the driveway. There was an extra car parked.
"Uh oh...Okon's got company!" She giggled aloud, and that's when she saw it. Something moved in the shadows in the far corner of her room. Trying not to panic, she grabbed the closest object she could reach. It was her red school shoes. Acting calm, she began to walk towards the corner, trying to make the attack unnoticeable. About two metres away, she screamed "I got you!" and chucked the shoes towards the intruder with all her might.
The person obviously was not expecting this, as they tried to dodge the flying shoes. The attempt was unsuccessful, a loud "Ow!" and "My head!" resounding throughout the room.
Misao ran and flipped on the lights, feeling triumphant that she caught the heathen.
When she turned around, her breath caught in her throat.
"Misao! It's me!"
"Oh, shit..."
TBC...
((((((((((((((((((((((((
Well? How was that? I enjoyed it, did you? Let me now by leaving a review!! (^_^)
I would just like to clarify that the kiss that occurred in the last chapter didn't actually happen, for those who were confused. That was what Misao wanted to happen, but it didn't.
Anyway, still beaming from winning that contest, and happy that I finally finished this chapter. I would like to incorporate the janitor into the next chapter, and have been holding out because I want to twist the plot in some way...he he he...
I'd like to give thanks to ALL of my reviewers, you guys keep this story alive!!
Until next time!! Toodles!!
