Comments from ArtemisMoon: Hi everyone! This is going to be a story co-
written by Kajun Spice, AKA Sherah if you have been reading my "The Morning
After" story, and myself, ArtemisMoon. I hope you enjoy it! Basically, she
wrote the plot out and I am doing the writing. It will contain Sou-
chan/Misao & Kenshin/Kaoru fluff. Hope you like it! Oh, and this story
won't be very long, we already have it plotted out to the end. ^_^
Comments from Kajun Spice: *waves* I was going to put 'No comment' here but ArtemisMoon threatened me. *looks at Artemis pointedly* Hope you enjoy the story! We sure had a blast writing it!
Chibi-Angel: Do you realize you made this story come into being? LOL It's true. You put the WAFF idea in our heads, and we just had to try it out! So thanks!

Koishii
(Setup: Soujirou and Misao are both staying at the dojo for unknown reasons that aren't important anyway, and who knows where Aoshi is. Our guess is far, far away from Misao…this has no connection what-so-ever to "The Morning After" story)
It was a hot, sunny summer day. The temperatures kept rising steadily, with no signs of abating. The heat was so awful that every now and then as Kenshin did the laundry, you could see him dunk his head in the soapy water. Kaoru and Yahiko had tried to practice together, but the heat was so strong that they finally gave up, choosing to spend the afternoon sitting in the shade of the porch. Misao, in her skimpy ninja outfit, wasn't suffering too badly, but it still took the edge off her usual hyperactivity. Soujirou though had vanished.
"Mou!" Cried Kaoru in frustration. "It is sooo hot! Kenshin, you don't have to keep working! Take a break!"
Kenshin smiled his rurouni smile at her. "Sessha needs to finish these clothes Kaoru-dono. Anyway, the water feels nice and cool de gozaru yo."
Hearing this, Misao and Yahiko perked up and eyed Kenshin's laundry tub in a way he didn't like. They were so hot and miserable they had failed to notice the way Kenshin kept sticking his head in it, and now were getting that same idea themselves.
Both hopping up at the same time, they ran towards a now horrified Kenshin, who blocked the tub, trying to save his precious clothing! They both tackled him and left him swirly-eyed in the dust. "Orroooo!"
Yahiko made it to the tub first and dunked his head in, but came up coughing. "Ughhhh, soapy!" He hiccuped and a bubble popped out of his mouth. Misao tried to laugh, but it was just too hot.
Kaoru was trying to snap Kenshin out of his dazed state, but nothing was really working. Getting frustrated and feeling a little worried, she finally stomped over to the tub of water and picking it up, dumped it on the unconscious Kenshin! He woke up, spluttering and coughing.
"Gomen, Kaoru-dono! Sessha didn't mean to worry you!" The poor rurouni looked a little embarrassed at the situation. He hated looking so silly in front of Kaoru.
He got up off the ground and went to fill the tub with more water. Misao and Yahiko both noticed how he didn't complain or get upset when Kaoru messed with his laundry tub. Only when anyone else did! Choosing to ignore this, Misao commented on Soujirou's absence instead.
"Does anyone know where Sou-chan went? He has been gone since we woke up with morning!" She then blushed a little at the thought of the boy she had come to like so much. Shaking her head to rid herself of the red in her cheeks, she waited for someone to answer.
Kaoru gave her a knowing look from her spot on the porch. "I have no idea. I wish he would tell us before he runs off like that. I have gotten so used to having him around now that I am actually starting to worry about him!"
Kenshin and Misao both looked at her sharply, wondering at the meaning of that comment, but relaxed when she continued. "He has become kind of like another annoying little brother like Yahiko. Well, not half so annoying as Yahiko!"
"Shut up busu! I am not annoying!" Kaoru gave him an evil eye but made no move to get up and chase him, and he made no move to run. It was just…too…hot!
The little group continued on in this manner for about another hour, when Soujirou finally made his first appearance of the day. He came in the dojo gate and greeted everyone cheerfully enough, and gave Misao a wider smile than anyone else. But something was very strange about him. Maybe the fact that he was wearing a trench coat that looked suspiciously like Aoshi's? Yes, that, and also the fact that there was a very weird buldge underneath the coat. (Get your mind out of the gutter, not that kind of buldge!)
The coat was buttoned all the way up to his chin, and the lump was protruding from the middle of his chest. Everyone gave him the strangest looks because he was sweating profusely in the heat under that coat, but made no move to take it off.
"Sou-chan, where did you get that coat? It looks so much like Aoshi-sama's! Take it off, it's too hot for you to wear it!" Misao had run up to him and was giving him an accusing look.
He smiled at her, but still made no move to remove the coat. "You don't think I look good in a trench coat too, like your Aoshi-sama?"
Misao blushed furiously and changed the subject quickly. "What is that lump under your coat?"
This time it was Soujirou's turn to blush. "Um, just something of mine. I had it for years and forgot it when I left Shishio-sama, but I got it back today."
"But what IS it?" Misao pressed. Everyone else was looking interested as well.
If Soujirou had been sweating badly before, he was a waterfall now! He slowly began edging away from Misao, trying to make an escape. The look on her face was partly confused, and partly hurt. He felt horrible hurting her, but couldn't risk giving away his secret. It was much too important to him.
"Gomen Misao-chan, but I really can't tell you." She pressed him further, but no luck! He spent the whole afternoon, wearing that stupid coat, sweating bullets and on the edge of passing out, but he never did. No amount of teasing, begging, or threats could make him reveal whatever that lump was, and they finally gave up. Or at least he thought they had. Misao had other plans though.
{If I can't get that baka to tell me, I'll have to find out on my own! He has to take that rotten coat off sooner or later, and when he does, I'll be there to see it!}
First she offered to help him with a bath. He declined. She then suggested he go for a swim. He politely refused. She was at her wit's end, and didn't know what to do!
{I'm not perverted enough to spy on him while he's changing clothes! Wait, maybe just a little peek wouldn't hurt. I mean, if I stop watching right after he gets the coat off, I won't see anything except what I want to see! Well, I would like to see more, but…} She began to blush again at the direction her thoughts were going.
Finally making her decision and convincing herself about what she needed to do, she decided to try that night. And all she could do was pray she wouldn't get caught! If she did, she would never live it down!
ArtemisMoon: I hope you guys like it! This is a fun story to write and I almost couldn't concentrate on the other one! I am terrified about the WAFF though, I have never written such a thing before…(knees shaking and teeth chattering) Oh, and one more thing. (Shoots amused look at Kajun Spice) I bet she's the first RK author ever who has never watched an episode, and didn't even know what the characters looked like until a few days ago! I plan to fix that as soon as she gets back from Louisiana! How many episodes should I make her watch? You guys vote, I have all 95! (Scrambles out of reach before KS can choke her for that one) Please review, it is so encouraging!
Kajun Spice: First, I want to thank everyone who took the time to leave a review on my poem! It was very encouraging; thank you very much! Ya'll are great! Secondly, *taps ArtemisMoon on shoulder*...Hey, what was my second point?? I forgot....oh yeah. *passes out Reese's to everyone* What?? Don't look at me like that; it isn't a bribe! Really! Ok, so maybe I was hoping ya'll would like the story and review.
