Disclaimer: I do not own Kenshin, and I hate it!

Okay, I'm new here. But I'll try to make good stories, and I'm pretty sure this one will be good. R & R!

Through the Mist " Kaoru! Hey!"

Kaoru swirled around. Her sapphire eyes spotted Misao, her best friend, running toward her, her long black braid flying behind her back.

" What?" Kaoru asked, rolling her eyes. She knew exactly what was coming….

" Aoshi-sama asked me if I could go over to his house and help him with his homework today!" Misao said, breathlessly.

" C'mon, Misao! He just became your boyfriend!" Kaoru said, exasperated.

Misao had a HUGE crush on Aoshi ever since kindergarten. And now they're in middle school! Misao was always really hyper and active. Aoshi, on the other hand, was as cold and icy as an ice-block. Sheesh, if Kaoru hadn't known better, she would have thought he was a walking statue. ' Though he IS hot' Kaoru mused.

" Oooh, do I see a green monster behind your back called Mr. Jealousy?" Misao teased.

" I...I am NOT jealous!" Kaoru stammered. She could feel her face burning. In truth she really is jealous. Never once in her life did she have a boyfriend, though lots of boys have crushes on her. There's a boy called Soujiro, whom Kaoru thought was really cute and hot. He's the leader of the Juppongatana, a team of very good martial arts, or swordsmen. Soujiro always have a smile plastered on his beautiful face, and he was special for that since that shows he's really good at hiding his emotions. Kaoru thought that he was really perfect, but he just wasn't her type.

" Hello! Off in dreamland are you, Jou-chan?" Asked a boy's voice. Kaoru jerked awake and blushed, realizing that she must have looked stupid.

" Hi Sano" Kaoru smiled. Sanosuke is another one of her best friend, and they treated each other as siblings. People likes to tease them about how they liked each other, but Kaoru knew that Sano only liked her as a sister, and that he liked Megumi,a really popular girl in school.

" Huh, well, I just stopped by to say hi." Sano said.

" Well, really, I didn't know that I'm invisible." Misao said, irritated.

" Oh, hi Misao" Sano smirked. Sano and Misao are friends, but they fought a lot. Kaoru was the one that always had to brake up their fights.

" Well, gotta run!" And with that, Sano whipped around and ran to meet his friends.

" Boys" Misao muttered. Kaoru sniggered and said:

" Well, what about Aoshi, huh?"

"Beside Aoshi-sama" Misao said quickly, " Oh my! I'm late! Bye." And waving, she too left,

" Bye!" Kaoru smiled happily. It's great having friends like these two. She sighed and turned to the direction of her house. She stopped dead on her track. In front of her is some kind of fog. But it's lunchtime! And it's really hot today too! She shook her head and told herself ' It's only fog, Kaoru, only fog.' And without second thought, Kaoru stepped through the fog.

Okay, very short and not very well written, but the next chappie will be better. R & R!
