Tanuki,
Trust you to take the term ASAP literally…you know it wouldn't hurt you if you actually had a life besides the internet, but that's just a thought.
Anyways just thought I'd drop a line and say congratulations on graduating. Hopefully you do something worth while to celebrate. Remember you only graduate from high school once, so don't waste the night by watching some dumb ass movie as you stuff your face. Knowing you that's probably what you call an eventful night.
Damn its getting late and I still have to get ready for a night out on the town, well tell the itachi and twin boy that I also said congratulations.

Ch 4
Putting the finishing touches on my outfit, Misao seemed rather pleased with herself. Not knowing if that was a good thing, I went into the bathroom to have a look in the vanity mirror.
Taking a look in the vanity mirror I couldn't believe what I saw, I looked…well damn I looked more like a girl than I ever have. Okay so yeah that sounds weird but I tend to lean more towards the tomboy look, and this was pretty different.
My hair that was usually swept up in a high ponytail was now only half pulled back by a black and white polka dotted barrette in the shape of a bow, with wisps of hair that had come loose from its holding framing my face. Curves that I knew I had, but never paid much attention to were now…well for a lack of a better word poppin' out at me.
" So what do you think," asked Misao poking her head into the bathroom. " You hate it don't you," said Misao stepping fully into the bathroom, after a few minutes of silence.
" NO! No, Misao I don't hate it. Its just that um well I've never really dressed like this before. I guess I was still in shock when you asked." Giving a weak smile, I turned to have another look in the mirror.
" Kaoru, will you stop acting so shy about your figure! Your beautiful. You have like the most symmetrical face I have ever seen, your eyes are the most gorgeous color ever and you have a body to die for. Oh and your hair? Full and voluptuous. In simpler terms your HOT!" exclaimed Misao becoming more and more animated as she went on. "OH and lets not forget the fact that you have boobs! Something that I'dKILL to have!"
Safe to say by now I was as red as a tomato. "Thanks, Misao but I would also like to remind you that you to are as you say hot, with or without boobs. so don't you go getting vein on me."
Heading out of the bathroom, Misao grabbed her duffle bag that I hadn't even noticed until now, while I popped in a mixed C.D. into the stereo.
Within a few seconds The Killers Mr. Brightside was blaring out of the speakers.
I could hear Misao telling me to turn it up from behind the closed door to the bathroom.
As the song was coming to an end, Misao emerged from the bathroom wearing a pale blue camisole with lacey white trimmings, a pair of faded hip huggers, and her usually braided hair was now in a messy bun. Light make-up adorned her face, from the light blue eye shadow to her light rose colored lip gloss, Misao looked flawless.
I couldn't help but smile like an idiot. "So…who you trying to impress?"
In the middle of tossing her previously worn clothes into her duffle, she looked up at me. " What are you talking about? You know I have a reputation to uphold."
" Bull shit. You can care less about your rep. So spill it who is the new flavor of the week."
" I resent that," said Misao in mock hurt. "…I can to care about what people think about me."
" Yes, but not those people."
"Duly noted, but why is it that when I dress up it is because of a boy? Can't it just be because I consider myself a diva darling, " said Misao, the last part in a British accent .
I couldn't help but smirk " Because you only wear make-up if there's a boy involved…unless you've all of a sudden changed your sexual preference, because if that is the case then there is something you definitely have not told me. And did you just call yourself a diva?"
Misao semi glared. " That is not true, I do not just wear make-up when boys are involved. That just happens to be the case most of the time, and did you just call me a lesbian?"
"Which makes my question valid, and no I did not call you a lesbian, I asked if you were one."
"Well to answer your question, no there is no boy, and as for your other question, no, but what would be the difference in the question if I were," asked Misao flipping through my C.D. collection.
Grabbing a magazine off my desk, I sat at the foot of my bed and began to thumb through it. " Your lying, and I guess there'd be no difference if you were."
"…All right what if there is a boy? And why the hell did we just have a conversation about the possibility of me being a lesbian," asked Misao grabbing the magazine out of my hands.
" Well I was just wondering his name, and as for the conversation concerning your sexual preferences, well it was just a way for you to admit that there is a guy involved."
" His name is Shinimori, and I would have ended up telling you anyway so I don't see why you had to ask if I was a lesbian," said Misao tossing the magazine onto my bed.
" Shinimori? What the hell kinda name is that? And it speeds up the process."
" It's a nice name, and as for your lame ass "it speeds up the process" no it doesn't," stated Misao changing the song to The Vines Get Free.
" Yeah, yeah whatever. Can we just drop the whole lesbian question of why or why not and blah blah blah," I asked getting tired of the whole switching topic thing.
" Yes, thank god. I was getting tired of that, " said Misao tucking a pillow under her chin as she laid down on her stomach.
" Okay, so tell me about this Shinimori guy," I said doing the same as Misao.
" All right, so his name is Shinimori…err well at least that's his last name, I didn't really catch his first name, he's a skater and man is he fine!" exclaimed Misao with hearts in her eyes.
" The infamous Misao Makimachi couldn't get a guy's first name? Well that's the first…and it does explain why you were so bent on believing that I liked that one dude."
" Hey I'm a shy person…sometimes, and that is not why I said you liked that "dude" as you put it," said Misao returning to normal.
" Right… so tell me how did you come by this Shinimori?"
" Well…"
Flashback
" Oh man I'm gunna be late!"
Tearing down the steps of Osaka High, one Misao Makimachi could not afford to be late once again to her family's little establishment The Aoiya, for it would mean a definite grounding.
" Crap, crap mother fuckin' crap, I'm so fu…"
" Watch out!" exclaimed someone.
Foot inches away from the sidewalk, Misao let out a scream when her foot did not connect with the pavement, but instead a fast moving board, a skateboard to be exact.
Textbooks and papers went flying every where.
Without a second thought, Misao quickly balanced herself on the skateboard and did a 180 heading back to where all her things lay.
Reaching her belongings, Misao gave the board a somewhat hard push in the direction that in came from, and quickly bent down to gather her things. Disregarding everything that had just happened. (Meaning her little trick on the board)
Mumbling to herself about people needing to watch what the hell their doing, she continued to shove papers into different textbooks.
" Are you all right," asked a deep dead pan voice, while handing her some of the fallen papers.
" Yeah fine. People just need to watch what the hell their doing," exclaimed Misao too busy picking up her things to even look up.
" By the way you did that 180 I'd say you could pass as a skater, so I wouldn't pass judgment because it was an accident," said the dead pan voice turning icy.
" Yeah well I am wearing a skirt so it was either that or show the majority of the school my ass, and I'm guessing by the whole I can pass as a skater and passing judgment comment you think I'm judging you because you're a skater? Well no I'm not, I know it was an accident, I was warned, and just because it was a skateboard doesn't mean it was because of a skateboarder, hence why I said people," said Misao grabbing the papers handed to her by the stranger.
Straightening up with everything in hand, Misao finally came face to face with a boy roughly 6'3" by the looks of it, a head full of black hair with bangs falling into crystal blue eyes, and a face that showed little to no expression.
" Well thanks for your help," said Misao as she took off down the sidewalk. " Sorry if I offended you!" called out Misao over her shoulder.
End Flashback
" Interesting…but that doesn't explain how you know his last name," I said laying on my back.
" Oh, well after that I got quite a few people who came up to me and asked if I was okay, after my little run in with Shinimori," said Misao leaning on her side.
" I can't believe you said that whole show the school my ass part," I said laughing at Misao's choice of words.
" I know, arrgh I wanna kick myself for that. Man I wasn't even thinking when I said it!" exclaimed Misao a light pink appearing on her cheeks.
Within seconds we were rolling on the floor like fish out of water, and that's exactly how my brother found us.
" Hey, hey Sou-chan what's what's up," gasped Misao holding her sides.
" Well I was just going to ask what time you guys were going to leave, but you seem to be having one of your episodes again…," said Soujiro.
Picking ourselves off the floor, we tried to work out all the creases on our clothes.
" Hahaha. Your funny, " I said sarcastically.
" Oh but I am. Anyways what were you two laughing about," asked Soujiro leaning up against the wall of my door.
" Oh nothing, Misao here was just telling me of her latest embarrassing moment," I said pulling him into my room, so that he could take a seat on my bed.
"Ah, was it actually embarrassing like the time her Gramps hit on the leader of her Girls Scout troop, back when she was ten? Or was it more of an awkward moment like when she walked up to some girl that she thought was you, and started to ramble about her day?" asked Soujiro his smile getting bigger as Misao's face began to turn redder and redder with each passing moment.
I couldn't help but laugh. " No, it was more like the time when Misao's Gramps snuck off in the middle of our seventh grade field trip, got drunk, and came back hammered."
" Hmm was that before or after he chased the employees of Hotdog On A Stick?" said Soujiro grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
" Oh it was definitely after that, Misao had to catch him remember? It took her about ten minutes to…"
" OKAY, it was definitely not as embarrassing as that!" said Misao looking as if she'd gotten a third degree sunburn. " NOTHING was as embarrassing as that…"
"Okay, so then what happened," asked Soujiro still smiling.
