Hiya, sorry for the late update but I had to go to another camp and I'm leaving tomorrow for another one so I'd thought I'd update a new chapter b4 I go.

Anyways I made a new story previews thing and the story is called Nothings fair in love and sports. Please read the summary and tell me whether to write it or not. I think you'll like it if you like this one.

Chapter 6

"MISAO!" Onlookers watched as a raven-haired teen streaked past them through the subway station.

"KAORU!" Those watching quickly turned their heads to see a second raven- haired teen rush by them at full speed, with an enormous duffle bag swinging wildly hitting several unfortunate passersby squarely in the face.

They met right smack dab in the middle embracing in a rib-cracking bear hug. "O my god I haven't seen you in ages! How have you been?" the first girl asked.

"I can't complain." She hung her arm around her best friend as they headed for the exit. Further down they saw Megumi rushing down the steps to meat up with them. She wasn't sprinting like the other two, and many of the sub- way users were gracious that they wouldn't have to deal with two black eyes instead of one.

"Itachi, I can't believe you made it. Kaoru's been bouncing off the walls, and if memory serves we ran thee red lights, two stop signs and nearly ran over four squirrels so we could be here half an hour early." She gave the younger girl a hug not quite as bone crushing as the one before.

The trio swerved their way through the crowd and got to Megumi's car. Kaoru started the ignition and pulled out of the parking lot at a much slower rate than when they came in.

"Anyway Misao-chan there's the new cinema they built after the popcorn incident the last time you came over." Kaoru pointed as they she concluded the tour of the town.

"I still say that if they had more fire extinguishers and less grease in the popcorn machine they wouldn't need a new theater." Misao sniffed.

"Oh yeah here's the beach, you have to meet some of my new friends." The threesome hopped out of the car and headed for the ramshackle hut by the ocean. She could see that most of the guys were having a lunch break at the time.

Kaoru dragged Misao and the not to delighted Megumi towards the hut.

"Ok, here's Enishi, and Kenshin, and Katsu..."

Aoshi came out of the tattered hut carrying a surfboard. He stared at Misao blinked once and continued his trek towards the beach. "Hey, Ice Brick, can't you be a little more hospitable towards my best friend?"

"You of all people should no I shy away from physical confrontations." He replied over his shoulder with a smirk.

"This isn't even a confrontation. Marilyn Manson scars off less people than you do."

"Kaoru, don't speak to your friends like that." Misao reprimanded. She smiled beautifully at Aoshi who was now smirking even more.

"Yes Kaoru your being very unladylike." The gang laughed.

"By the way, I'm Makimachi Misao" she continued smiling.

"Aoshi" he greeted. Misao felt her heart flutter as she heard his husky voice.

"Misao you're drooling" Kaoru laughed.

"Am not!" Misao retorted indignantly.

"Are too!" the two girls vanished into a fury of sand and fists as the surfers erupted in laughter and Aoshi shrugged and went on his merry way.

"You're acting like children," Megumi scolded as she pulled the two apart. They were breathing hard and their hair flared out in odd places.

Kaoru stuck out her tongue, mirrored by Misao as Megumi rolled her eyes.

The gang continued laughing at them. - - - - -

Back at the Hajime residence, Kaoru had just finished her shower and was toweling her hair dry. Misao was already in her pajamas and the stereo was playing Americana quite loudly.

Kaoru sat down on the bed. "Hey Kaoru?" Misao asked.

"Yeah"

"You know that Aoshi guy, well what do you think of him?"

"I think he's an insensitive statue but a very friendly for a statue that likes to argue."

"Do you know if he's well, you know single?" Misao asked hopefully.

"Well, I've never seen him with another girl. I don't know, maybe he's gay?" Kaoru replied absentmindedly looking over a magazine.

Misao's shoulders slumped. "You think he is?"

"Well in my opinion he has a great body and it would be a shame hey, hold on a second here." She interrupted her self. "You like him don't you?'

"Um, well maybe."

Kaoru laughed. "So Ms. Boys are Icky all through Jr. High likes the Ice Man?"

"Hey, you didn't have a boy friend till high school either." Misao replied.

"Yeah, well you try and have a love life when Lt. Hajime of the 3rd squadron makes every middle school guy from here to Timbuktu wet themselves." They both laughed for this had happened on several occasions.

"Remember Ryozab-something or other ran home crying when he walked you home." Misao spoke in between giggles.

"I've never seen him run so fast even in P.E."

"So anyway could you set me up with him?" Misao asked after her giggling subsided.

"Who Ryozaburo-san?" Kaoru looked confused.

"No smart one Aoshi?"

"I don't know. It's usually Tae that does this sort of stuff. We haven't even had a conversation where we don't fight."

"Come on, please? One date and I'll handle the rest?" Misao begged on her eyes pleading.

"I don't know" Misao made a pouty face with the puppy dog eyes.

"Alright, just promise never to do that face again. You look like an orangutan."

"Deal"

"So, Aoshi, what kind of qualities do you like in a girl." Kaoru asked as she sat on a rock facing Aoshi while he meditated. 'I hope Misao appreciates this' Kaoru thought tiredly. It was 5:00 am on a Sunday morning and Kaoru had to freaking get up at 4:30 to get up at Aoshi's meditating time.

He quirked an eyebrow at her and opened one eye. "Are you trying to hit on me?" he asked coolly.

"Ewe, No." Kaoru made a disgusted face. "I'm just curios, what kind of characteristics the Ice Man looks for in a girl."

"I said you could meditate with me not ask me put me on the Dating Game" Aoshi replied.

"You're not gay are you?" Kaoru asked.

"No, and if you must know I like GIRLS who are intelligent have a spirited disposition."

"You like spirited people?" Kaoru asked. "Well, I guess it's true that opposites attract. Anyways where would you go on a date?'

"Are you sure you're not trying to hit on me?" he questioned.

"No for the last time I don't like you that way. Now answer the question!"

"I don't know."

"What are your interests?" Kaoru continued.

"I like reading classical literature and plays and not being interrogated." He said pointedly.

Kaoru copied down what he said on a note pad. "Not being interrogated," she murmured. "Ok, got it, now continue."

"Are you always this irritating?" he got off his rock and stormed off. Kaoru hopped off her rock and followed him asking more questions.

Later Alligators After while crocodile. Good night everybody!

I'll update soon cross my heart and hope to die stick a needle in my eye!
