Konnichiwa, minna!!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.....I'm so excited, EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!! Semester 2 starts on Monday, and I can finally have the classes I have patiently waited 6 months for....tee hee....
I apologize profusely for not updating sooner, and waiting so long. It's just that...I wasn't sure how to continue the fic without it sounding stupid and corny, but I had a vision last night, so I am typing it up before I forget.
I was talking to Tiny (Midori Natari Himura) yesterday on MSN, and I went away to answer the phone for a second. I came back, and it told me I was offline....GRRR.....I tried for an hour to get back on, but it wouldn't let me...I hope she isn't mad at me..right in the middle of her lovely singing, too....DAMMIT!!
Oh, and guess what? My dad rented a metal detector the other day so he could find his keys (which he did), and brought it in to show me. He pointed it at a few metal things, and than at my head. It beeped. He said, "I knew you had some loose screws..." Oi vey....
Anyways, on with the chapter. If you want to hear more about my chaotic life, check out my 'Author Information', and click on the link to my UJournal...I'm sure you'll find it very entertaining.

Running to You

Chapter Fourteen: Arcade Battle: Weasel VS Tanuki
(())(())(())(())(())(())(())(())(())(())(())(())(())
They drove in companiable silence to the Kyoto Martial Arts Center. Misao blushed after remembering last night's kiss. She had never felt so alive as she had in that moment. Her mind fastforwarded to when the both of them woke up this morning.
Begin Flashback
Aoshi had his arm wrapped around her waist, his face buried in her loose ebony hair. She felt so warm and fuzzy on the inside. Deciding to create a little chaos, Misao carefully slid out of his embrace, and grabbing an overstuffed pillow, perched quietly on the opposite side of her twin bed. Restraining a laugh of glee, she raised the pillow high over her head, and slammed it down as hard as she could on Aoshi's head.
He jerked, wondering what the hell was going on. He felt something squishy smashing his face repeatedly, and Misao's gleeful laughter.
"Misao, what the hell are you doing?" He managed to ask, some words muffled as the pillow hit him.
"Good morning, sleepy head! Just thought I'd wake you up in my own special way!" She beamed, still giggling.
So that's how she was going to play. Well, let the games begin. He snickered to himself.
Misao was about to bonk him a few more times when she noticed that she was the only one on the bed. The silly grin immediately sagged, and her eyes grew to the size of fishbowls as she realized what was happening. "Oh, shit." She muttered before running break-neck speed out the door, fearing for her safety.
She bounded down the steps, but froze at the sight that greeted her at the bottom.
Aoshi leaned casually against the wall, arms folded over his chest. His eyes were hooded as he spoke.
"Misao-chan, do you know the consequences of waking me up in such a..." he paused for effect. "...such a life-threatening manner?"
She was looking at him like a deer in headlights. "Uh...well, you see, Aoshi...uh, I thought it was pretty funny?"
"Did you now?"
"Hai! It was! You should have seen the look on your face, and your hair sticking out everywhere! Like a constipated lobster!" She put her hand over her mouth and giggled.
He said nothing, so she stopped laughing. Wait a minute? Were her ears playing tricks on her, or did she just hear a growl?
Misao decided that the best thing to do was run back up the stairs. Woops...
Aoshi was there in an instant, a predatory glint in his eyes. He was grinning evilly at her when she reached the top.
She felt herself flying through the air, and landed on the carpeted floor with a thud. Aoshi had straddled her stomach, and sat there with an air of victory about him.
"Hmm..." He pondered aloud. "Now that I've caught you, what will the punishment be?"
Misao stiffened, looking up at him with fear. "Aa, I know." He smiled at her, and attacked.
End Flashback
Final examinations were going on at the school today, and neither of them had any until that afternoon, so Aoshi and Misao were driving down to sign her up at the center, and then meet the rest of the gang at the mall.
They pulled into the parking lot, and Misao could see classes going on through the large windows.
At the registration desk, Misao happily signed up for an intermediate kempo class, as well as a weaponry class. She was excited to be able to expaand her kunai skills.
"That'll be $300, Miss!" The receptionist chirped. Misao glanced at her nametag. It read 'Tae'. She pulled out her credit card, and the lady rung it up, but she wouldn't let them leave until they took one of the cookies that sat on the counter. "Made them myself!" Tae said, waving as they left.
** ** **
At the mall, Aoshi and Misao found Kenshin and Kaoru waiting for them in the arcade.
"Hey guys!" Misao greeted enthusiastically. She stood beside Kaoru.
"Hey Aoshi, want to go check out that 007 game?" Kenshin asked, and he nodded his approval. The left the two girls to their own vices.
"So where's Sano and Megumi?" She asked, scratching her head. Kaoru giggled and pointed to where 'Dance Dance Revolution' was located. The two were battling it out fiercely, and they could hear "Dammit's! and Ohohoho's!" over the pulsing music.
"So, Misao-chan...what's going on between you and Aoshi-san?" She feigned innocence, smiling brightly at the shorter girl.
"N-Nothing. Nothing at all!" She grinned meekly, waving her hands in front of her.
"Oh, suuure, that's what they all say." Kauro said with a knowing look, watching her friend turn tomato red.
"What about you and Kenshin? I saw you holding hands when we got here!" She cackled slightly, turning the spotlight on a flushed Kaoru.
"Nani? I don't know what you're talking about."
Misao had her arms crossed, and she was tapping her foot demandingly. "Right. I'll just go tell him about all that stuff you said to me on the phone last week." She threatened, and Kaoru's eyebrows twitched as her face contorted into rage.
"You'll do no such thing, WEASEL!! I'll got and tell Aoshi-san everything you told me if you do that!!"
"WEASEL?! DID YOU JUST CALL ME A WEASEL?!"
"HAI!!"
Everyone in the arcade stopped what they were doing, and looked at the two girls who were about to strangle each other. Kenshin and Aoshi had just stepped out of the shooting booth when their attentions were pulled over to the high-pitched squeals of their girlfriends.
"WHY I OUGHTTA..."
She stuck her tongue out at her fuming friend, who proceeded to do the same thing. Spit was flying everywhere. A kid with black spiky hair similar to Sano's got a wad in his eye, and fell over from the sheer force of it.
"LET'S TAKE THIS OUTSIDE, SHRIMP!!" Kaoru screeched.
"LET'S GO THEN, TANUKI!!" Misao replied, and both girls stalked angrily out of the arcade.
Back inside, everyone had respectively gone back to their games.
Kenshin and Aoshi hadn't moved from where they had stood for the past six minutes.
"Oro? What was that all about?"
"I have no idea, but I have a feeling it has something to do with us."
Their heads snapped up when they heard two familiar screams from outside.
