From: "P. Rico" Hi,All! This was something I at first thought I would suggest as a fic challenge, but over Akon weekend (I went as Misao! Too bad I couldn't find a good Aoshi.), I decided it was more along the lines of the 'Blanket Senario'. So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, it to take two characters, who otherwise wouldn't be together, and fix them up on a blind date (whether or not they actually go out is optional). It should be the first time they met or they met before and hated each other's guts. Please, no lemons and if you absolutely must do yaoi, keep it mild because, after all, it is the first date. I'll post whatever submissions I get on my site. ------- I'll get the ball rolling. Blind Date. -by P.Rico Misao sat in her room and brushed out her long hair. She braided the long strands then arranged it in an elegant bun. She looked at herself in the mirror. Perfect. She was going to look great. "And Aoshi-sama going to be green with envy," she thought with a smile. In her tireless quest to get Aoshi to admit his feeling, Misao had devised a new plan. She had gotten one of Okon's friends to set her up on a date. She didn't know who he was, but Okon's friend said he was very nice and very cute. "Once Aoshi-sama finds out, he'll be so jealous." She finished dressing and checked herself one more time in the mirror. She open the door to the hall just as Aoshi was passing. "Bye, Aoshi-sama, I'm off to my date," she said, emphasizing the last word. Aoshi stopped in mid stride and looked back at her over his shoulder. "Date?" Misao smiled. "That's right. Date." There was a brief pause. Finally, Aoshi shrugged his shoulders. "Have fun." With that he walked away. "That's it?" thought Misao. "Have fun? He's not going to ask who I'm going with or when I'll be home or anything?" She hmphed. "Men." ****** What Misao didn't know was that Aoshi knew about her little plan almost since the beginning. He had also found out who her date was. He went up to the roof so he could see the entrance of the Aoiya unobserved. This was going to be good. ****** Misao saw Okon walking toward her with a nervouse look on her face. "Is my date here?" "Yes," replied Okon. "But..." "Great! Bye!" Misao ran off. "Wait! Misao!" Okon sighed. "There's going to be some fireworks tonight." ****** Misao ran to the closed door, straighted her kimono and hair, then, with a pleasent smile on her face, slid the door open. "Hello....YOU?!?!" "Hello, Misao-chan. You look so cute tonight." said Kamatari with a smile. "You're my date?!?!" Kamatari nodded. "But I thought you...liked men." "I do, but I have plenty of love left over for women. Just look at Nuriko (he's my hero)." "Who?" "Never mind, so shall we go?" "NO WAY! I'd never go out with you. Even if you weren't still dressed like a woman." "But these clothes are comfortable. Come on Misao-chan." "Don't address me so familiarly. And I'm not going! And that's final!!!" "But Misao-chan, I had my heart set on going out with you. It'll be fun, I promise." His smile widened slightly. "Especially if we can get Shinomori-san to come with us." That was it. The last straw. Misao never wanted her kunai more that she did now. But, remembering what had happened last time, she figured it wouldn't have done any good anyways. But it sure would have felt good to try. So she did the only thing she could. "Whaaa! Aoshi-sama," she cried running back into the Aoiya. "Does this mean we're not going out?" called Kamatari after her then dodging a flower pot. "Guess not." Kamatari sighed and began to walk away. "That was really mean, Kamatari-san," came a voice from a nearby tree. Soujirou dropped down and fell into step with Kamatari. "I was just playing with her. She looks so cute when she's angry." "Kamatari-san, do you really like women, too?" Kamatari smiled. "Nope, I'm still the same old Kamatari (Nuriko's still my hero). So how about we go for some sake." "Okay." "You buying?" "You can pay for yourself. What do you think this is, a date?" ------ Okay, it sucked, I admit it. I'm sure you all can to better (yes, please do). Have fun. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
