My Bestfriend's Funeral

Kitsune
Another sunny day. I'm here, doing laundry, keeping an eye on the children, and Kaoru..... My eyes stay there for a second, mentall grasping what's not mine to have. I really want to bang my head right now, due to the efficiency of it's past uses. And here I am, washing clothes, with no incredibly hard objects with in my grasp to pound my head in with. So, I'll just scrub it away. That's right mister battousai, keep scrubbing. Scrub away my troubles. Scrub away my thoughts. Scrub away my issues. Scrub right through....

"ACK!"

"KENSHIN! What is it?"

Oh, I love that inquisitive look on her face. I would be in more of a dream world right now if I hadn't scrubbed strait through my oldest gi. Well, my only other gi...

I hold up the gi, and it explains for itself. The whole thing was ruined in my rampage against the 19th century washing machine. I think I'm gonna cry. Yes, I am sniffling right now. My best friend has just passed away. Into the magical abyss of....oh, that's right, clothes don't exactly go anywhere when they die.

"Oh, it figures that thing would eventually shred. How long have you been wearing it? 10? 11 years? We'll buy you another one; And don't look at me like that...."

"Demo...Demo...."

"We'll just get-"

"IT WAS MY FAVORITE ONE! IT WAS MY BEST FRIEND, DE GOZARU!"

I all the sudden realise I'm screaming at Kaoru, and she looks kind of sad. Oh no. Please don't cry Kaoru.

"Sumanisen, Kaoru-dono. Seesha no baka...."

"You know what, Kenshin? I'll miss that old gi too... It's the one you were wearing when we met."

"It is, isn't it?"

"We have to give it it's final testament!"

"Oro?"

"Give it a service to remember! A whole funeral for it, then we buy you a new one. And it's also the one you met Sano, Megumi, and Yahiko in. So they'll be invited too!"

Wow, this whole ordeal over an old, tattered piece of cloth. Wonders never seize to amaze me.
T_Tx~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Dying Day
Holy lord in heaven. I didn't think Kaoru would go this far. We have every single person that we know(except for villans) here with us today-and, as I look over, I can feel my jaw slacking, Aoshi is all teary-eyed! Bless that odd little man's heart. I can't say that through my tears though. Kaoru is crying on my shoulder too. Good always comes from the bad. I would have smirked if my I wasn't crying.And I am also the only one here not in dark colors. I stick out like a sore thumb. It drives my crazy! Why me? When me and Kaoru go get the new gi, I'm getting an all-occasion one.
"Let's begin. Today is a solemn day. We all can't say we lost our best friend, because this is someone elses shirt. Now, I know this is all very sad. If anyone is perminately damaged, please fill out a support group sheet."

Aoshi and Saitou are the first two in line.

*snicker through the tears*

Any final words?"

I raise my hand, and stand up to walk down the isle to the box in which it layed. It couldn't be reassembled, so the lid stayed closed. It hurt me to look at it.

"My dear friends throughout the years I have lived here.... I know that everyone is going to miss this shirt. It was the coolest thing ever, and it caused much controversy and has left me with many memories. I will miss it dearly."

Aoshi lets out a loud sob.
How was it? It sucked, didn't it? I've written fanfiction before... I just never had a reveiw before. Please! PLEASE! Reveiw me! Give me comments, critisizm(spelling?), whatever you want to say! But that was only the prologe! THERE IS MORE INSANITY TO COME!

Preveiw:

If I had lived in the 21st century, I know this is somewhat of what a mall would be like on a Saturday. Aoshi decided to go shopping with us as part of his counceling.
Omake:

Kenshin:WHY IS MY SHIRT EVERYONE ELSES BUSINESS?!
*everyone raises their hands*
Kenshin:(I need to hear this) Yes, Aoshi?
Aoshi:Because it's part of your lovable personality?
*everything is eerily quiet*
Aoshi:*dark and mysterious sweatdrop*
Kenshin:*faint*
