Thanks to minna-san:

Scythe195: Okay…um I have NO clue about Japanese currency. I am American. So, I say that 50 yen is a lot. At least in my story! Play along, pretty please! Bear with me. And I'm not the only author that don't get yen and stuff. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME. I am trying my best.

KK: Sorry. I've been reading fics for 4 years now; I had JUST gotten permission to get an account. Thanks for your advice, though. I am trying to describe everyone differently. Please bear with me. This is a hard story to write. I have never written any fanfictions before. This and Crimson Tears are my first fics ever!

Aoshilover: Thanks…here you go.

Nanakiyoda: Here is a new chapter.

Animegurl23: Well…I couldn't think of very many songs that matched my story. I don't like them all to much…I am more into Simple Plan and Linkin Park. U know. Stuff like that.

Coke48kenshin: Yeah. Here is an update for ya. I can't stop thinking about this story. It is weird, I feel like I am a reader and I can't wait for the next chappie.

Phi-dono: I know how you feel. If you ask me, there aren't enough AU stories like that. But I'm always glad when there are.

PLEASE READ!

I am really happy that minna-san likes my story but PLEASE keep any mean or bad criticism to yourself. It makes me feel bad as an author. Flame or not, I don't think I will continue this story if it gets any worse than lately. I won't say names but PLEASE, for the people who really want me to update, don't flame.

ON WITH THE STORY!

"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.

Chapter 4

Mixed Up Dates For The Winter Formal

The new band was cleaning up after the auditions. Kaoru was humming to herself as she picked up some fliers off of the park benches. She was so happy that people actually liked her singing that she had just realized who else got in the band. She went pale and forced herself to think about something else.

Kaoru decided to get her Sony Walkman out and listen to her new CD. She walked over to her discarded drawstring backpack and started digging through it for her CD case. She pulled it out and put in Simple Plan: Still Ain't Getting Any and got back to work.

Enishi came up and kissed her on the cheek. Kaoru laughed and took off her headphones.

"What do you want?" She joked. Enishi smiled and kissed her nose.

"Did you know that when you sang up there, you put Avril Lavigne herself to shame?"

Kaoru giggled and slapped his arm playfully. "You big liar! I did not do THAT well!"

Enishi shrugged and walked away to take down some of the decorations. Kaoru sighed. She put her headphones on and pushed play on her player. She couldn't stop thinking about Kenshin. The thing that scared her was that when she and Kenshin "kissed" she felt a jolt of electricity go through her. She knew what that meant and that was why she had to kiss Enishi; just to make sure.

(AN: You all know what I mean when I say "A jolt of electricity went through her, right?)

But when she kissed Enishi, she felt nothing. Well, except lust, but that wasn't what she was looking for. She sighed in annoyance. 'Why did I have to run into him! WHY!' Kaoru thought angrily to herself.

AT ENISHI'S HOUSE LATER

"Enishi?" A sweet voice came from Enishi's door. He looked up from the punk 'zine he'd been reading while listening to Linkin Park: Meteora. Enishi reached over and turned off his stereo.

"Sup?" He asked Tomoe, who was looking rather sad. She walked over and sat on his bad.

"Can I ask a favor from you, dearest big brother?" She wondered in a pitiful voice. (AN: In this story, Enishi is older…K?)

Enishi nodded. Tomoe started crying and balled out, "My boyfriend is going to the formal with my best friend, Kanna! Now I don't have anyone to go with!"

Enishi sighed and comforted her. "I could go with you. As a brother." He offered.

Tomoe sniffed, "But what about Kaoru?"

Enishi sighed, "I can ask her to find someone else to go with and I'd dance with her there."

Tomoe grinned. "Okay!"

As she walked out of Enishi's room she thought to her self 'Step one complete.'

RING!

RING!

RING!

RI- "Hello?" Kenshin said in to the phone.

"Kenshin-koshii, I wanted to tell you that I can't go to the formal with you." Tomoe's voice came through the receiver.

"Okay, why?" He asked.

"My mom is taking me to this place that same day. It is in Kyoto." Tomoe replied.

"Who am I going to go with?"

"Oh, I don't know. How about that Kaoru chick?" Tomoe said in a "I don't give a crap" kinda way.

"K, Bye." Kenshin hung up and dialed Kaoru's cell number.

AT KAORU'S HOUSE

Kaoru was going through her closet looking for her black and red leather chain bracelet. 'I really need to clean my room.' She thought as she threw half of the contents of the closet on the floor. Or rather, where the floor disappeared. She jumped as she heard the Good Charlotte song "My Bloody Valentine." It was her cell's ring tone.

Kaoru flipped her phone open and answered, "Talk to me."

"Kaoru? It's Kenshin." Kaoru froze.

"Look, I'm sorry about knocking you over, and accidentally kissing you." Kaoru stuttered into the phone while blushing madly. She heard nothing and then some chuckles.

"I wasn't calling about that…but I am sorry as well. I was wondering if you had a date for the formal?" He asked.

"I guess. Enishi called like five minutes ago and said he had to go with someone else anyway." She said shrugging.

"See ya." Kenshin said and they both hung up.

Don't be angry that I didn't put mush stuff in this chappie please! I just got contacts today and my eyes hurt. Review please. I am sorry it isn't a good one but I am getting there.
