It was about 11:30 now and tryouts were done and over with. Misao and Kaoru were busy in their room, all freshened up, deciding who would be making the cut. They sat on their small beige couch sipping a refreshing juice beverage.

"What about Izumi?" asked Misao as she consulted her clipboard of names and notes. "She might not have much skill yet but I think she has potential."

"Agreed," replied Kaoru. "So now there's only two more spots to fill and six girls."

Misao handed Kaoru the clipboard, "Who do you think?"

Kaoru furrowed her brows as she considered each name trying her best to recall their past performance. "What do you think of Ichigo and…Retasu?"

"Fine. They just need a little work."

"Well that's what practice four times a week will be for." She tossed the clipboard onto the wooden coffee table in front of her.

Misao got up and took her Kaoru's empty cup to the kitchen when she realized the red light from their answering machine was blinking. "Hey we got messages."

Kaoru crawled over to the end of the couch and pressed play on the machine that was sitting on a side table.

Beep:

"Hey Kaoru? Its Himura Kenshin.

Kaoru looked up to Misao in amazement as the message continued.

"Well I guess you and Misao are still at the tryouts now. I just wanted to say thanks and that, um… I think you guys should really consider Ichigo for the team, she might not have the skill and she is kind of young but she has the determination for the team…

"A little late now," scoffed Kaoru as she sprawled herself out onto the couch, stretching her sore arm.

"And well that's pretty much all I call for and, um…maybe if your not doing anything later on this afternoon, maybe you'd like to go get some lunch in town or something. I'm still a little curious about how your dad taught you kendo and all. So yeah, if you want to I'll be waiting at the front of the school in the foyer at noon. See you then…or not. Take care, bye."

Misao couldn't believe what she heard, "Oh my gosh, he wants to see you again! Well are you gonna go?"

"Don't be ridiculous Misao," said Kaoru as she picked up a magazine and pretended to skim through it. What could he want now? Maybe he really does want to talk about kendo… Oh get a hold of yourself Kaoru. Since when do men actually say what's on their mind when asking a girl to lunch? But still…it couldn't hurt to see…

"Kaoru!"

Kaoru snapped back to attention and faced Misao.

"You haven't been listening to a thing I've said have you? Look just go and see what he wants to talk about."

"But what if-,"

Misao scowled, "No more buts or ifs! Its time you start being such stick in the mud and go out with a guy and have some fun for once."

Kaoru sat up and Misao pulled her up to her feet. "Yeah…I deserve some fun…But Himura, Misao?" she whined.

"Oh who cares if its Himura!" Misao grabbed Kaoru by the wrist and pulled her into bedroom and sat her in front of the mirror. "It only makes it more convenient since you know each other already. And besides its only lunch."

Kaoru slouched and painfully felt Misao tear through her hair with a brush while trying to decide which shoes she would be wearing. It seemed Misao had more hopes for this little lunch then Kaoru wanted.

"Himura?"

The redhead looked up from his lonely seat on the small bench in the school's foyer and instantly cocked an eyebrow. Before him stood the same sweaty and stubborn kendo player now with her hair up in clean and simple ponytail with a pale pink ribbon, ears adorn with gold chandelier earring worthy of Bollywood, wearing a white silk camisole and black wide-leg trousers with a pair of black pumps and small embroidered purse with a beaded strap.

"Kaoru? Uh…"

She frowned at his uncomfortable staring, "Well?"

"Oh sorry," he innocently scratched the back of his head as he felt a little red on his cheeks. "I'm a little surprised you came," he said turning to conversation.

Kaoru clasped her hands in front of he, "I only came for the food." She waited for Kenshin's confused expression. "I'm just kidding Himura."

"Oh, right." They took a moment to lightly giggle at Kenshin's expendable expense.

"So where we going?" asked Kaoru.

Kenshin stood up and Kaoru took a brief moment to admire him in a white button up shirt and jeans.

"Well how hungry are you?" he asked as they walked out into the parking lot.

"Honestly, not that hungry."

"There's this nice little café not too far from here. They gave a great coffee."

Kaoru smiled at the idea, "Sounds good."

Kenshin took out his keys and unlocked a black Forenza. Kaoru got in the passenger side after Kenshin removed some manga from the seat. He started up the car, they both buckled in and a moment later they were off.

Back in her room, Misao quickly touched up her lip-gloss and checked herself in the mirror. Deep purple v-neck tunic top with ¾ sleeves, black stretch-cotton capris, gold strapped heels and her hair groomed into the typical braid. Excited and ready to go, she grabbed Kaoru's favourite metallic-leather-and-straw handbag and practically skipped out the door.

Kaoru won't be the only one having fun today…

Soujiro had just made some sandwiches for lunch and handed one to Aoshi who was absorbed in some book sitting on the couch.

"No thanks," said Aoshi as he booked marked his page and grabbed his keys and cell from the kitchen table and headed for the door. "I'm going out."

Soujiro raised an eyebrow. "Where you going?" he asked with sandwich hanging out his mouth.

Aoshi didn't answer and was already out the door. Soujiro put down the half-eaten sandwich and ran after his roommate. If he was going out Soujiro wouldn't be one to miss out on some fun, but hopefully they'd stop for some burgers or something.

A/N: Everyone wants to have some fun, and for Soujiro, some food. I think I'm going to enjoy the next chapter quite a bit, its gonna be FUN! Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I honestly didn't think I'd have thirty reviews for only the first three chapters, thanks you all very much! Well the new chapter will come out tomorrow for sure. So take care everyone and hope to hear from you soon! Oh and yes the names of the two last girls from Kaoru's tryouts were the girls from Tokyo Mew Mew.
