DISCLAIMER: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin.

Wow, updating the day after the previous update. It must be a miracle. Lol. I hope you like this one. Expect it to be short. It's only a filler chapter to get me to where I want to be with the next one. And to think, I said this was going to be about five chapters long. I'm already going on seven and I know there will probably be quite a few more chapters. School starts soooo soon! Why?! cries I'm not ready to be a senior!

"Go ahead and keep the clothes. Shiro won't mind," Misao told Aoshi. They were standing by the door to her apartment. Aoshi's folded clothes from the night before were in his hand and he was still wearing Shiro's shirt and shorts. Misao had dressed after finishing tea.

"Thank you."

"Oh, um...here," Misao choked out, reaching for a pad of paper and a pen. She quickly scribbled her number down and tore out the page. "Just in case you ever, ya know, wanna hang out...or something..." Misao explained.

Misao handed Aoshi the page and tossed the pad of paper back onto the hall table.

Aoshi flipped open the paper and refolded it before sticking it in his pocket. Before Misao could rid herself of the pen too, Aoshi stole it.

"Here," Aoshi said, holding his hand out after uncapping the pen. Misao placed her hand in his open one and he turned it so it was palm up. Aoshi turned it so it was palm up. Aoshi wrote his number on her hand and kissed her palm before leaving.

"Good-bye. . . for now." And with that, he was gone.

Misao was in shock. 'He gave me his number. HE GAVE ME HIS NUMBER!'

"Good-bye," she whispered to the now-empty doorway.

Looking back on this, I realize that there is even more Aoshi OOC-ness than I thought there was. Sadly, it bothers me, but I like it that way at the same time so. . . . .who knows. Hope you liked this chapter and please REVIEW.

If you have any suggestions, I'd gladly like to hear them.

Also, I'm looking for an editor. I think I'm catching most of the mistakes and stuff, but I really have no clue if stuff flows or anything. Plus, I always like a second opinion on my new chapter before I post it.
