Hi, so sorry I didn't update in a million years. Well, here's the next chapter and I hope you like it! Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin characters or any of the stores, songs or malls I mention! ^.* ~IluvInuyasha~ ^.*

The clocked ticked away in Mr. Manley's class for science, as they were learning about cells. Snoring could be heard everywhere and the loudest was Sanosuke. Kenshin and Aoishi tried poking him but Sano was a heavy sleeper. The slide show was not nearly half done as Mr. Manley's dull voice carried on about membranes and such. It was 7th period and Kenshin wondered if he could ask Sano, before class was over, if he wanted to go to the mall. Like Sano had a choice whether he wanted to go or not. Kaoru, Misao and Megumi were going to pick out their dresses for the dance tomorrow. (A/N: The dance is on Saturday.) Even if Sano protested, Megumi would get her way.

Finally after strategizing a bit, Aoishi said in a girlish voice, "Sano, Megumi your wife has come to see you." Instantly, he woke and picked up Aoishi by the collar and asked gruffly, steam coming out of his nose, "What the heck did you say?" "Hey man, I was just tryin' to wake you up before you got another detention for sleeping." said Aoishi, a sweat drop forming on his head. "Uh, boys settle down now. I am trying to teach here." Mr. Manley snorted and went back into discussing the slide show. "Hey Sano." whispered Kenshin. "What?" Sano whispered back.

K: "Do you have any homework?"

S: "No. Why?"

K: "Do you have a tuxedo for the dance?" S: "What's with all the questions?"

K: I'm getting to it. But do you?"

S: "No."

K: "Well, Aoishi and I have to go to the mall, to get our tuxedos. So do you want to come?"

S: "No."

K: "You don't have much of a choice."

S: "What do you mean?"

K: "I mean if you don't go, you're going to get screamed at a lot by Megumi and trust me, you don't want that." Just the thought of it made Sano's ears hurt.

S: "Ok. What time?"

K: "Right after school."

Just then, the bell rang and Mr. Manley said, "Have a nice weekend, class."

Turning into the hallway, Aoishi, Sano, and Kenshin walked to their lockers. Opening his locker, Aoishi thought, 'Would I look like a penguin; if I wore a black and white tuxedo? Hmm.' (A/N: He. He. ^_^ I just thought that was funny. Anyhoo.) Kaoru, Misao, and Megumi walked toward their boyfriends and greeted them.

"Hurry up!" "The mall isn't going to stay open forever ya know!" "Stop dawdling and come on!"

. or more like criticized them. Aoishi and Kenshin obediently hurried up, while Sano took his time.

This made Megumi even angrier and she shrieked, "Why can't you be a good boyfriend; like Aoishi and Kenshin and do as you're told???!!!" She might as well have said, "Why can't you be a good little doggie and listen to your master??!!!" "Would you shut up?!" Sano shouted.

Megumi: You can't speak to me like that!

Sano: I can and I will!

They bickered on and on until Kenshin interrupted them and said, "Hey, dude. Would you just apologize to her, so we can go?" "Huh?" Sano and Megumi froze. "Yeah." The others agreed and nodded. "Yeah, right!" scowled Sano. "Like I'd ever apologize to fox girl here." "Fine. We'll just go without you." Kaoru said and started to walk off. "Whatever. Alright. Sorry Megumi." mumbled Sano. "Oh Sano! You really do love me!" Megumi cried and hugged him by the neck. "Wha--? Who said anything about--?" stuttered Sano.
~In Kenshin's green Jeep~
The song "Every heart" By BoA was playing on a CD and the girls were loving it.

"What the heck is this crap?" Sano said. "It's not crap, it's good music." Misao retorted and hummed the song. "How can you even tell what she's saying?" asked Aoishi. "Ugh! You messed up the song! Now I'm going to have to start it all over again. "No!" The guys groaned as Misao, Kaoru, and Megumi gave them dirty looks. It started: Every heart By BoA

"Let's go!" he said as the others climbed out of the jeep.

They entered Town East Mall (A/N: Which does not belong to me) and looked at the mall's map.

"Okay, so we will be going to The Limited and Tuxedos Galore." Kaoru said and pointed to the map. "They're both upstairs and they're both next to each other. That should save us some time." "Uh, before we do anything. Kaoru, can I speak to you for a moment?" Kenshin said and cocked his head at Aoishi. "Yeah, Misao I need to speak to you too." Aoishi said. "Sure." answered Kaoru and Misao. "Okay. You know the plan, right?" Kenshin said. "Refresh my memory." Misao said with a confused look. "Right after we get our clothes, we are going straight to the photo shoot I scheduled today." explained Kaoru. "Wow, you got this all planned out, Kaoru. Didn't you?" Misao said. "Yep!" she replied.

~Megumi and Sanosuke~***~****~~******~**~* "I wonder what they're talking about." Megumi said. "Uh, yea, me too." stammered Sano, who was still uncomfortable about being her boyfriend. "Why are you fidgeting?" she asked. "Mind your own business, fox girl!" shouted Sano. "Would you stop calling me that?!" shouted back Megumi. "Are we ready to go?" asked Aoishi and stood in between them. "Yeah." They answered. ~~~~~~Upper Level~~~~~ After coming off the stairs, the group entered The Limited. Megumi, Misao, and Kaoru each picked out a dress and fitted them in the dressing room. The doors swung open and there stood the most beautiful girls the guys ever laid their eyes on. Aoishi whistled and grabbed his heart. Misao had on a stunning white dress and white gloves to go with it. It fit her curves perfectly! Misao only blushed a fiery red. Next, it was Megumi, who was wearing a white skirt with yellow flowers on it and a top with spaghetti straps that was the color yellow. Nothing fancy, but it sure made Sano drool all over the floor. Lastly it was Kaoru, who had on a light pink dress that didn't have any straps.

"You look really beautiful." Kenshin said and Kaoru kissed him on the lips. "You are so sweet!" she giggled.

Examining what had happened, Sano and Aoishi said to Megumi and Misao, "You look beautiful too."

Each receiving a kiss, the girls purchased their dresses and they headed for the tuxedo store. ~~~~~~~**********!!!!!!!!!!!!^^^^^^^^^ Kenshin, Sano, and Aoishi were getting sized for their tuxedos as the girls waited on chairs. Bringing out three tuxedos, the fitter asked them to try it on.

They came out looking handsome and they all said in a girlish voice, "Do I look fat?" Megumi, Kaoru, and Misao bursted out laughing.

The fitter, who was an old woman, was confused by all the laughter and the joke. "Why are you kids laughing?" she asked. "They aren't fat."

That remark made them laugh even more until tears rolled down their cheeks. Afterwards, Kaoru suggested that they head to go take their pictures.

"Pictures? How fun!" cried Megumi and hopped into the jeep.

They arrived at the place Picture Perfect! and got ready for the picture. Even though they weren't dressed for a picture, they still wanted to take it.

The camera man said, "Say cheese!" "Cheese!" they replied. The first picture wasn't so great, since all of the people, except Megumi and Sano, ducked down. "Hey!" Megumi said suspiciously. "Where are you guys?" "I had to sneeze. I heard something. I thought I saw something." came the replies. "Oh, look at the time." Kenshin said. "I'm starving. Aren't you Aoishi?" "Uh..." he stuttered. "Misao?" "Yeah, yeah." she said and elbowed Aoishi. "I'm famished." "Don't you guys want to take another picture?" asked Sano. "No. I like that picture." Kaoru answered and paid for it.
~In Kenshin's Jeep~ When Megumi wasn't looking, Sano took a quick peek at the only- Megumi-and-Sano- picture and smiled.

"It's a good picture isn't it?" said Megumi and laughed. 'Yeah it is.' he thought and blushed.

The wind was blowing her long, black hair and the sunlight bounced off her pretty face. From this point of view, Sano whispered, "Gorgeous."
