A/N-Okay so, after leaving this story high and dry for three years (wow that is long) I had to make a decision whether to remove it entirely or give it another chance and well you can figure out which one I chose. Even though I cannot even remember my original ideas for this story, I am going to continue writing this on a whim hopefully the idea might eventually come back to me who knows. Btw some characters might be OOC so please don't hate me for that. Anyway, enough of me rambling. Read and enjoy.

Is Killing an Option

By DayD-Ari, Chapter 2, Can basketball be the key?

"Do you think I'm attractive and ladylike?"

Aoshi thought he heard wrong but the seriousness on her face made him realize he did not; he came back to the table trying to think of something to tell her. He was not going to lie because it just would not be right and he wanted to see the look on her face when he answered.

"You're very far from being ladylike, very far, you're unladylike. And about the attraction thing I'm sure someone, I don't know who, but someone must like you." He said smirking.

"SHINOMORI YOU'RE SUCH A JACKASS!" Misao threw her empty soda can at his head.

He caught it before it hit his head. "If you didn't like my answer then you shouldn't have asked."

Misao stuck her tongue out at him as he walked away; with her appetite suddenly gone, she placed some of the things that she had not opened into her bag and headed to the gym to get a good seat to watch the basketball game. She met up with Sano on her way there and he looked like he just had a long make out session with Megumi. Everyone was in love and she hated it, everywhere she turned, there was a couple holding hands, touching, kissing, you get the point.

The gym was already packed with a bunch of students and she had to step on a few feet to get a seat, which she did not hesitate to take when they stood up to complain about it.

"This game is gonna get heated today." She said looking around the gym.

"Why do you say that?"

"Sano you should know why."

He looked at her without a clue of what she was talking about.

"Everyone knows Showa high are our rivals they hate Arakawa high since, well since forever."

At that moment all thoughts of who hated who went from her mind when the basketball teams came on the court, it looked like they were going to wrestle each other not play basketball. She loved a good game, when they hated each other it was even better than how it would usually be and she could tell that this game was going to be exciting.

"Ok then Misao that sounds very interesting it's just sad that I don't care." He said slouching down in his seat and resting his feet on the one in front him.

'You're such a loser'

Announcer-The two teams are on the court and are having a word with their respective coaches, then they would be on there way to get this game officially started. The two teams have there supporters anxiously awaiting the game to start.

"Kenshin you're lying, you did that. Oh my God!" Kaoru said aloud.

Misao turned around to see Kenshin and Kaoru sitting behind them, she scowled and then put her attention back on the players. They started the game and the scowl immediately left her face.

She nudged Sano. "Sano, Sano?"

"What?" He asked half asleep.

'Idiot'

Announcer-The Almighty Arakawa's team are ahead but do not get your hopes up this could be anyone's game.

"This is so boring Kenshin how can you enjoy this?" Kaoru asked. "Kendo is much more exciting than this."

"Its not boring Kaoru, just wait and see okay hun."

Misao couldn't keep her eyes off Aoshi for some reason but she had to admit he did look rather good out on the court and he didn't play too bad either.

"Kenshin isn't there something else we can do besides watch this stupid game?"

'That is it'

"Kaoru if you don't like the freaking game go do some stupid girl stuff or something and stop whining like a Goddamn baby." Misao said waking Sano up and having a few people staring at her.

The look on Kaoru's face said it all, she was embarrassed and on the verge of crying and if there was not anyone there she would have really acted like a baby too, she simply stayed quiet and continued to watch the game. Misao was really moody the past couple of weeks, she felt like she didn't know who she was anymore, Kaoru had to wonder if it was because of her that she was acting the way she was. It was true Misao was a bit eccentric and would say what was on her mind but never in a harsh tone. After the game, she had to talk to her alone without Kenshin.

Misao's attention was back on the game cheering loudly in no time. She had her eyes completely on Aoshi as he scored for his team again.

"You sure are excited for this game, its not even important just a silly rematch." Sano scratched his head closing back his eyes.

She sat down and turned to him. "It's your school can't you even support them rather than sleeping you lazy ass."

"I can't help it if this game makes me sleepy, it's so damn boring. Now if this was boxing on the other hand I wouldn't mind."

Announcer-What a game this was, as usual Arakawa high showed Showa who was boss and won the rematch. Congrats to them.

Misao was still sitting where she was during the game as she watched the whole crowd of students walk out the gym, she did enjoy the game that much was true but that pleasant feeling she had soon left when the two set of lovebirds decided to go out after. They asked her to come along but it would just be weird with her being there and them being so lovey dovey.

Now in the middle of the gym with a basketball she bounced it on the shiny floor and then threw it towards the hoop turning her back to walk out facing none other than the one person she was eyeing throughout the game.

"Aren't you even gonna look to see if it went in." He stood there in his green and white basketball uniform with his duffel bag in his hand.

"Don't need too." Was all she said as she walked past him.

"You're that confident?"

"Yup," She began whistling as she continued walking, now out of the gym. "Aren't you supposed to be in the boy's locker room showering or something?"

"Well for your information I have a job to get too and I'm already sorta late so I decided to shower home since it's not far from where I work. I'm not smelling that bad am I?" Aoshi asked following her.

"Not really, why are you even talking to me? Don't you normally try to avoid my very presence?" Not even turning back to ask the question directly.

"I don't know."

"Don't tell me you like me or something?" she asked finally turning around to face him.
