THE KENSHIN AND KAORU COOKING SHOW

~Drum roll, a red curtain could be seen, Sano's voice could be heard, only a pitch lower~

SANO: ...and now, Channel 1056 OroTV presents!.....Cooking with Kenshin and Kaoru!!!!

~Red curtain is unveiled, Kenshin and Kaoru standing in front of an old-fashioned Japanese studio kitchen~

~Applause from the live studio audience~

KAORU: Make that THE Kaoru and Kenshin cooking show...right Kenshin?

KENSHIN: Ano..ahehe..but the scriptwriter said "The Kenshin and Kaoru cooking show" de gozaru ....

KAORU: *Kaoru clenching her fist, gritting her teeth, doing the "I'm gonna punch you position"*

-Then maybe the scriptwriter made a mistake right?! SANOSUKE!

SANO: Are you saying that I'm an incompetent and an incapable scriptwriter! *runs from the camera to Kaoru, holding and shaking pieces of paper in the air* I know what's best for the show! Kenshin should be mentioned first because his cooking is more edible than yours Jo-chan, besides, it would be definitely wrong if the viewers would be mistaken that your the head chef and Kenshin's the apprentice when the level of your cooking skill is lower than a baby's...

~An explosion could be heard, flying debris could be seen, camera focuses on Sano buried in the wooden wall~

KENSHIN: Maa, maa Kaoru dono,*both hands raised* I guess this could be arranged with more peaceful means, ahehehe...

KAORU: *Looking at Kenshin with Batousai eyes* Then, what do you suggest?

KENSHIN: Ano...eto... well, The Kaoru and Kenshin Cooking show it is....

KAORU: Honto ni? Yipeee!!!*shifts to chibi chibi*

YAHIKO: *Behind the camera* Hey start cooking will ya? We don't have all day!!!

KENSHIN: Oro? Ah, right, let's start the show now, Kaoru dono...

KAORU: Welcome everyone to THE Kaoru and Kenshin Cooking Show! I'm Kaoru..

KENSHIN: ...and I'm Kenshin. Our first dish for today is the Hot Beef Pot, Akabeko Style! Now let's start. First we wash the vegetables...

KAORU: What do I get to do Kenshin?*with puppy eyes*

KENSHIN: ...aah, just a moment Kaoru dono, now we chop the vegetables...

KAORU: Eh, Kenshin, shall I start shredding the cabbages?

KENSHIN: Ieya, Kaoru dono, I have to show the audience how to chop the cabbages in a special way...

So as we chop the cabbages...

KAORU: We boil the stock right?

KENSHIN: Hai, but let me do that, this step needs to be attended in a special way...so now…

KAORU: Then what shall I do then, Kenshin?!*starts boiling again*

KENSHIN: Aah, you cover the pan just as the stock reaches its boiling point...

KAORU: That's it?........*clenching her fist, veins popping out*

KENSHIN: Hai, that's it Kaoru dono, you cover the pan...as I was saying when you boil this make sure that...

~Kaoru punches Kenshin, Kenshin flies to the other side of the studio wall~

KENSHIN: OROOOOO!!!!!

KAORU: Baka!!!!!!!

why won't you let me help!!!!

KENSHIN: *silent, still shaking, half buried in the studio wall*

KAORU:...and you won't even answer huh? *covers face, starts to cry* huhuhu....'sniff ' ...huhuhuhu...

YAHIKO: Oi Kaoru, the network company said they would cancel the show if this kind of violence continues!

KAORU: Whoops! I guess I got carried away back there ahahahahaha! *stops crying, transforms to chibi in a split second*

Well, since my ASSISTANT can't continue doing the show for...uh...certain reasons I guess I'll do the rest of the cooking for today eh?

~Live studio audience seen with sweat drops~

~Sano, STILL buried, a sweat drop forms~

YAHIKO: Nani?! Ano..Kaoru you can't do thi...

KAORU: *Batousai eyes flaring at Yahiko's direction*

YAHIKO: *looks at Sano, buried.*

*looks at Kenshin, buried.*

*gulps*

..uhh..demo... forget I said anything! ahehehe...

KAORU: *goes chibi again, very VERY excited* So let's go on with the show! Now let me see, ah yes! The hot beef pot! Well now that my apprentice has chopped the vegetables a while ago and now that the stock is ready...uhm, well...we dump all the vegetables in the cauldron of boiling stock!!!

~Dumps the veggies carelessly~

~SPLASH!!!!FHOOOMMM!!!~

*Looks at a paper with the recipe written on it, mumbles...*It says hear to add 1 tbsp of salt and 1 tbsp of pepper...how do you put salt and pepper in a tablespoon from a shaker?..My,my this is hard...

ONE OF THE STUDIO AUDIENCE: Hey, what comes next!!!!

KAORU: Oh! Ahahaha....ah yes, we add a tbsp of salt...

~Shakes the saltshaker violently in the cauldron, shaker cover falls off, all of the salt from the shaker falls in the soup...~

Uh...Ahahaha...that is ok everyone....ok...ahehe, a LITTLE extra salt won't really affect this soup ahahaha..*swiftly gets a ladle and stirs vigorously* now lets mix all these together to uh...haha...incorporate the salt...haha....

~Live studio audience sweat drops~

YAHIKO: *slaps forehead with the palm of his hand*

KAORU: Now...*looks at the recipe, written in it are the words "sauté beef"*

*mumbles again* ....What in the world does sauté mean?saute..saute..sau..

*The oven catches her eye* Aha!

Ok, um, the next step is to BAKE the beef in the oven at, uh, 600 degrees celsius!

~ Sano, regaining consciousness ~

SANO: Bake?...ow my head....

*Kaoru places firewood in the oven, oven fumes violently and dangerously*

KAORU: Ah, I think the temperature is just right. Demo, we have to make sure that this is the right cooking temperature so we have to test it...let's see…what could I place in here to test if it is hot enough?

~Live studio audience's eyes swells~

KAORU: Oh! Now there's a good sampler!

~Kaoru spots Shishio Makoto with Yumi in the live studio audience~

KAORU: *runs towards Shishio* Hi, I need a studio volunteer! *grabs Shishio in the arm, holding very tight, drags his helpless body to the kitchen*

SHISHIO: Na-nani? What are you doing?

YUMI: *startled* What are you doing to my Shishio Sama!

KAORU: *does a throwing stance*

It's called, Combustion!

~throws Shishio, helpless and confused , in the hearth~

~oven fumes and shakes even more violently~

SHISHIO: aaaaahhhh!!!

YUMI: aaaaahhhh!!!

KAORU: yosha!!!

~Live studio audience's eyes bulge even more, horrified with what just happened~

SANO: ba..bake?

YAHIKO: *shocked*

KENSHIN: *unconscious*

KAORU: Shishio, are you burning inside?

SHISHIO: *dead*

YUMI: aaaaaaccckkkkk!!!!

KAORU: And look! A very crispy part of the beef is sticking out!

*pulls that part of the beef, and takes a bite*

Wow!!! Tastes really great!!! Very crispy!!

SANO: Jo chan, I don't think that's cow's meat…

KAORU: *chewing, holding the half of the part of the beef on one hand* Nani?

SANO: ..looks like a crispy, burnt, finger. to me..

KENSHIN: 3 people in one day! That oven sure is durable de gozaru...

YAHIKO: Hai, and considering that it is Kaoru who used that oven, it's a miracle that it could still stand...

KAORU: *clenched fist* Shut your mouth Yahiko!

KENSHIN: Maa, maa minna! Let's go on with the show now....

KAORU: Oh right! I'll just place this beef in our soup, and it's done!

SANO: Uhahaha, noooo, no way I'm going to eat that beef pot! No!

YAHIKO: I told you it was a bad idea to let Kaoru join this show! Now look what happened!

SANO: Ah, don't blame me, it was Kenshin who forced me to let Kaoru host this show!

YAHIKO: ...and you didn't even refuse? Tori Atama!!!

SANO: Don't call me rooster head!!!

YAHIKO:..Oh ur just scared of Kenshin coz he beat the living daylights of your ass once eh?!

YAHIKO: Oh yeah?!

SANO: Oh yeah!!!

KENSHIN: Maa, maa! *hands raised*

SANO: I didn't refuse coz he said I get to eat the finished products after the show!!

YAHIKO: Baka!!! Pig!!! Didn't you even foresee that if Kaoru gets to cook the finished products would be inedible!!!

SANO: What can I do!!! I was blinded by different images of food playing in my mind at that time!!!

KAORU: Huhuhuhu *sniff* ju..just tell me you don't want me in this show!!

KENSHIN: O..orooo, ah...ano...Kaoru dono...

~Kaoru walks toward the oven~

KENSHIN, SANO, YAHIKO: Kaoru!!!

YAHIKO: Go ahead, kill yourself! I bet when you're dead Kenshin would be free and be able to find a new lover!

SANO: a new lover?! *grins*

* END ^__^x ' *

notes: some Japanese words used in this fanfic:

dono – Kenshin's trademark. An archaic way of saying Mr. and Ms.

Sama – equivalent to "great one" when tagged at the end of a person's name

Ano – that. Notice how Kenshin would always begin his unfinished sentences with "ano…"?

Honto – really?

Ieya – no

Hai – of course all of you guys no this right? Yes!

Baka – stupid or idiot

Jo-chan – Sano's pet name to Kaoru. It means "little girl"

Nani – what

Yurosinai – I'm not sure with the spelling of this one, but it means "unforgivable".

Shi-ne – it means "kill" or "die"

Gomen – sorry. A more formal equivalent of this is Gomenasai.

Demo – but

Yosha- "yes!" or "alright!"

Oro – need I say more? ^__^x!
