Everyday Life

Chapter 5: The Plan in Action

With that said she took off towards Kenshin's table.

"Hiya Kenshin!" said Misao

"Hello Misao."

"I need to ask you something but first, if you don't mind me asking, who's this?"

"Oh, Misao this is Kaoru Kamiya, Kaoru this is Misao Makimachi."

"Hello Misao," said Kaoru while reaching an arm out to shake Misao's hand.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you" said Misao shaking her hand. "Uh… sorry I can't stay and talk but I have to ask you something Kenshin."

"Yes?"

"Can I have the car keys? I left something in there and I have to go get it."

"Sure, but be back quick, ok?"

"Ok!" Misao lied.

Misao took the car keys and went over to Aoshi and told him to put his arm around her for support. At first he objected and tried to stand by himself but couldn't and so he gave in. Next, Misao went over to her friends with Aoshi and told them that they needed to go home now because she had a plan and Aoshi was very drunk.

"Are you sure you should be doing this? What if Kenshin gets mad" asked Toku, a friend of Misao's.

"Trust me, he'll thank me later. Now come on guys, let's go before Kenshin notices anything." Misao siad.

The group of people headed off towards the car. Misao helped Aoshi to get in the passenger's seat with some trouble and she got in the driver's seat.

"Misao, try to drive carefully." Said Ayako.

"Don't worry I have my driver's permit. Oh and um… make sure you guys have your seat belts on."

"We made sure the moment we got in" said Misao's three friends in unison.

Misao started the engine and began to back up real slowly out of the parking lot.

"Watch out!" yelled Sayomi "There's a car behind us."

"Oh right. I guess I forgot to look back." Misao said.

Aoshi grunted in pain at the abrupt stop.

Misao waited for the car to pass and started driving out of the club's parking lot.

"I wonder what's taking Misao so long" Kenshin asked

"Maybe you should go check up on her" Kaoru suggested.

"Yes, I'd better. Would you mind having to wait for a few minutes?"

"Oh no, I don't mind."

Kenshin got up and went to the punch table. A sudden thought of Aoshi popped into Kesnhin's mind.

'I wonder where Aoshi is? He should've been back. I hope nothing happened to him.

After searching the whole club, Kenshin went outside to the parking lot and looked for his car. Kenshin heard his cell phone ring. He took it out and said, "Hello."

"….Hi Kenshin." Misao nervously said.

"Misao is that you!? Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Listen when I tell you where I am promise not to get to mad?"

"Ok."

"Ok. See since I saw you with that woman, Kaoru, and it looked like you were having a good time and all, I decided to take Aoshi and my friends home myself because Aoshi was drunk and I didn't want you to get involved because I wanted you to get to know Kaoru." Said Misao in one breathy rush.

"Oroo…?"

"Hello?"

"Are you crazy Misao!?" shouted Kenshin

"Kenshin I'll explain everything to you later, I'm almost home and I don't want to get a ticket. Bye!"

"Wait…"

Kenshin went back to the club somewhat upset but he didn't let that show when he went back to meet Kaoru.

"Everything go okay?" Asked Kaoru.

"Fine."

Kenshin needed to do something to loosen up and relieve his anger. 

"Would you like to dance?" asked Kenshin

"Sure."

And off

the two went to dance on the flashy dance floor.

"Don't those two look cute together, Sano?"

"I wouldn't know if they were cute."

"Sano." Scolded Megumi

"Hey, you asked the wrong person for an opinion on 'cute'"

"You're right, why do I bother?"

"Hey babe, you want to come over to my place?"

"When?"

"Now."

"But Kaoru looks like she's having a good time and I don't want to have to go and tell…"

"Then don't tell her to leave, Megumi." Sano smoothly interjected.

Invisible little fox ears could be seen sprouting up from Megumi's head and a little laughter of "ohohohoho".

"Shall we go Megumi?" said Sano with an arm out towards her.

"Of course." Said Megumi smirking as she took her boyfriend's outstretched arm.
