"Kenshin Himura just kissed me. And…. I-I-I-I-I liked it." She whispered. Kaoru gathered her stuff and went to her last period.

"So…you my like Kenshin-koshii huh? Well, we can't have that now can we? Don't worry…I'll fix this little problem." A voice came from one of the stalls. The voice belonged to none other than……….

Chapter 3

Auditions In The Park And An Evil Plot

"Tomoe!" A young woman chided in the bathroom looking for the other girl. A woman stepped out of a stall with a smirk on her face. She had long black hair tied at the base of her neck with a white scrunchy.

"I have a brilliant plan. We'll show that tomboy who Kenshin-koshii belongs to." She said with an evil glint in her eyes.

The other woman smiled deviously and giggled. "You always have the best ideas, Tomoe! But isn't Kaoru going out with your brother Enishi? He will kill you if you hurt Kaoru!" She said matter-of-factly.

"Well, we'll just have to get Enishi to be mad at Kaoru." Tomoe said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

And the two girls then discussed ways to destroy Tomoe's compitition.

With the group

Kaoru sighed in confusion. She was thinking about the kiss Kenshin and her had. Well, it wasn't really a kiss.

All of a sudden two strong, comforting arms encircled her. She smiled up at Enishi.

"We are having auditions in the park today. You wanna try out for lead vocalist/guitarist?" Enishi said in a soothing voice that Kaoru forgot about Kenshin completely. She smiled up at him again and nodded.

He was about to get up to help Kaoru out of her chair when she asked, "Enishi, would you….."

Enishi stopped and said, "Would I what?"

Kaoru blushed profusely and finished quietly, "Kiss me?"

Enishi was taken by surprise but that went away quickly and he smiled. They leaned in. They were so close they could feel their breaths on each other. Their lips touched hesitantly at first but Enishi depend it. He nibbled her bottom lip and she gasped. He took that as an opportunity to slide his tongue in her mouth. They wrapped their arms around each other. They stayed like that for a while, their tongues tasting each other, when Kaoru found herself in desperate need of air. They pulled apart and were gasping for breath.

"Lets…gasp…go…gasp…get my guitar and amps." He said and they left; his arm around Kaoru.

"LADIES AND GENTALMEN! THE JADE DRAGONS ARE NOW DOING AUDITIONS FOR A LEAD VOCALIST/LEAD GUITARIST AND A BASS GUITARIST AND DRUMMER! IF YOU CAN PLAY THE ELECTRIC BASS GUITAR, DRUMS, OR SING AND PLAY AN ELECTRIC GUITAR, PLEASE TAKE A NUMBER AND GET IN LINE FOR THE AUDITIONS FOR THE SOON-TO-BE WINNING BAND FOR THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS!" Misao yelled into the microphone on the stage.

People started gathering around to either watch or participate. Misao, Sano, Enishi, and Megumi all sat at a table down in front of the stage with a clipboard.

(AN: Megumi and Misao are background singers and Misao plays the electric guitar. Enishi plays bass guitar and Sano plays the electric keyboard.)

After an hour of BAD rehearsals Tomoe stepped out on to the stage. She smiled seductively at Sano and started to sing Evanescence's "Going Under" and play it on her guitar. She wasn't bad. She just wasn't good.

Then Kaoru got on the stage. She held her electric blue guitar with silver flames. She started strumming the tune of Avril Lavigne's "My Happy Ending" and started to sing along.

"So much for my happy ending

oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh...

Let's talk this over

It's not like we're dead

Was it something I did?

Was it something You said?

Don't leave me hanging

In a city so dead

Held up so high

On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be"

She sang the lyrics perfectly. She knew this song like the strings on her guitar. This was the song she constantly dedicated to her first boyfriend, Brian, that hurt her so bad.

"You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it

All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

All this time you were pretending

So much for my happy ending

oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

You've got your dumb friends"

Each word dripped off her tongue as if it were poetry. She sang out all her pain from Brian. It made her feel a lot better when she looked at Enishi. He was staring at her with all the love he had. He was there for her when Brian hurt her. He held her when she cried.

"I know what they say

They tell you I'm difficult

But so are they

But they don't know me

Do they even know you?

All the things you hide from me

All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it

All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away

All this time you were pretending

So much for my happy ending

oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh"

She started to sing her heart out. She played her guitar and sang as if it was just Enishi and her in her room like they use to do. Like when he was helping her get over her stage fright.

"It's nice to know that you were there

Thanks for acting like you cared

And making me feel like I was the only one

It's nice to know we had it all

Thanks for watching as I fall

And letting me know we were done"

Asshe finished the song and took a deep breathe. The audience went mad. They were cheering and clapping. Kaoru blushed at least four different shades of red with the thunderous applause.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WE HAVE A WINNER! OUR NEW LEAD SINGER/GUITARIST IS KAORU KAMIYA! OUR NEW DRUMMEST IS AOSHI SHINAMORI! AND OUR NEW LEAD BASS GUITARIST IS KENSHIN HIMURA! GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!" Sano shouted into the microphone as the new band members lined up on stage as their names were called.

Whadya think? I kind changed the story line a bit. I made it so that Kaoru's dad is already dead. But it is still pretty much the same. Review Please!
