Honjo Kamatari falls for Kenshin: A Rurouni Kenshin Comedy

Part 1: Kamatari's Hunt

Okay, fine, this was not one of his more brilliant planning sessions, after all, getting away from guards was one thing, but Chou had taken up taking care of him. I have to see this Samurai who beat Lord Shishio myself, Kamatari thought as he put on his kimono and looked into a mirror. He slipped from his room and down the hall toward the entrance, he hoped that Chou wouldn't miss him.

Walking through the streets of Tokyo, he smiled at all the new stuff that was added to the city, but he was more interested in the men who were now in power. He walked to the Kamiya Dojo and found a small man doing laundry. Is this the man who took down Shishio?

Getting a closer look, Kamatari's heart fluttered, he smiled as he looked over at Kaoru doing her practice. "YOU WHO!" he waved over at her and saw her nearly face fault forward. "Hello, girlie!"

"WHO LET YOU OUT?" Kaoru screamed and walked over to Kamatari. "Chou said you were back in Kyoto."

"Oh, well, I left, I got bored in Kyoto, so I wanted to see the cutie who took down Lord Shishio."

Kenshin blinked as he walked back inside, he turned to look over at Kamatari and Kaoru and smiled. "If you want, I can make more food for dinner, Kaoru-dono?"

"Fine," Kaoru called back and Kamatari dashed after Kenshin. "Hey, wait a minute!"

"LET ME HELP!"

Kamatari was in love, not only was Kenshin cute, he had this feeling that he was going to take Kenshin away from Kaoru. He smiled a little as he cut up some carrots and put them in a pot to boil with the other things his host was preparing. "So, you used to be a member of the Juppongatana," Kenshin blinked. "I never knew a lovely lady like yourself would be in such a thing."

Lady? Kamatari nodded and tried to suppress a laugh, he had always been mistaken as a she, ever since he could remember. He smiled and whispered into Kenshin's ear. "I'm not a girl." He walked away and saw Kenshin turn bright red. "Hehe, but you want me to be, I can be."

"ORO!" the former Samurai's eyes widened as the cross-dresser took the finished food out into the dinning area and called everyone to dinner.

He and Kaoru were staring at each other and were eating quite slowly. Kenshin gulped hoping this did not lead to having to break up a girl fight, or whatever. "So, Kamatari-dono, where are you staying?"

"Um…I don't know, Chou hasn't really given me a good home yet," the crossdresser looked up into the air and smiled at him.

Blushing still, Kenshin sighed, not sure how to take this further. "If Kaoru-dono won't mind, you can stay the night with us. I'm sure that Chou will be worried about you and it is the best thing to stay in one place."

Kamatari giggled and hugged Kenshin tightly. "THANK YOU!" His grip was tight and though Kenshin wished it was a woman hugging him instead of a gender confused person, he nodded. "Can I sleep in your room?"

"WHAT NO WAY!" Kaoru finally spoke up and pulled the former Samurai from Kamatari's grasp.

Kamatari sighed and set his clothes out, he had borrowed some of Kenshin's sleeping clothes and was in it, he looked over and saw Kenshin walking into the room. He unrolled their beds and giggled putting them side by side. "You know, most people don't let me in the same room with people I like," Kamatari whispered.

I can imagine why, the Samurai wanted to say, but was being polite and sat down on his bed. He hoped during that night that Kamatari did not get any bright ideas, he had enough excitement for one night. He lay down on his back and looked up at the ceiling feeling exhausted. "Kenshin, I have a question," Kamatari looked up at the ceiling. "Was what Chou said true, that Shishio-sama wanted us to live normal lives?"

"He would have rather you died, Kamatari-dono, I don't think he cared at all for your feelings," Kenshin whispered honestly, he knew it was the right thing to say.

"I see, it doesn't make me angry, it is sad that he thought that way," turning to look away from him, Kamatari's eyes filled with tears. "In truth, I always thought he really liked that bitch, Yumi more than me, he just put up with me, that's all. Chou said that I shouldn't think like that, but he wants me living in my own little fantasy world."

"It might be safer for you, but it isn't healthy, Kamatari," Kenshin looked over at him and the other just smiled at him.

I really do like this one more so that Shishio, he really listens to me, it is a shame that Kaoru likes him. "Thank you for letting me stay here."

Kaoru rolled from side to side, her eyes were on the door to Kenshin's room, she heard a muffled sound and ran up to the door and realized they were talking. "You know, Kaoru must really like you," Kamatari sounded sad. "It must be nice to have a girl who is willing to love you no matter what you do."

"If you tried really hard, I'm sure someone will like you," Kenshin was telling him.

"I really doubt it."

It sounds as if they are just being friends.

Chou showed up the next morning with Sanosuke huffing and puffing behind him. "Alright, Kamatari, it is time to go, you are annoying these people," the broom headed man yelled into the house, but found Kamatari sitting next to Kenshin talking.

"Do you might, this is a private conversation," Kamatari growled and rolled his eyes. "I swear, when I want to do something alone, you treat me like I'm a small child."

"Well, you're a gender confused person what do I know, now come on! If that Saitou guy sees you, you're going right back to prison, I don't care what I do, I am taking you back to Kyoto."

"No, I want to stay with Kenshin!"

Kenshin blinked and looked at Sanosuke who was shrugging. "I caught the idiot in roughen row thinking that Kamatari was with me. Like I would let her….him, whatever into my house."

"Oro, Kamatari, let me go," Kenshin found he was being pulled along with Kamatari toward the door.

"I LOVE HIM!"

"ORO!"

Kaoru walked into the room and was pulling Kenshin back. "I knew it, you were trying to take Kenshin from me!"

"THAT HURTS!" Kenshin whimpered as he was suddenly pulled to Kamatari who was sticking his tongue out as Kaoru and was pulling him along.

"You are not taking Kenshin back to Kyoto, sheesh, let go of him, Kamatari!" Chou was trying to pry Kamatari's arms from around Kenshin's left arm.

"NO!"

"Will someone do something?" Kenshin sat there on the ground as Kamatari was making a bigger scene and Saitou was standing in the shadows trying to keep from laughing. "YOU ARE NO HELP AT ALL!"

Saitou walked over to the two of them and sighed. "Well, I can see that Kaoru has a rival for your attention. Kamatari, let him go, he isn't into what you are into!"

"Saitou, you are so mean, I can teach him to like it," Kamatari sighed letting go enough for Kenshin to slip his arm free. "Besides, I'm lonely!"

"Join the club, now go home!" Saitou pointed toward the trainstation. "I swear you're a brat!"

That was when Kenshin was about to run when he was caught by a chain. "KAMATARI!"

This was going to be long day.

Kenshin sat on the train staring at the water, he knew for one thing, his foot was bound to Kamatari's chain that was dangling in his hand. He had attempted to untangle it, but sadly, not even Kamatari could undo the knot. "Okay, this is no longer funny," he said before boarding the train and sending word to Kaoru that he was going back to Kyoto to have his foot unbound.

Kamatari giggled and was holding onto his waist now. "Goody, I get company!"

"He's not staying long, we cut the chain and Kenshin goes home," Chou looked angrily out the window. "I swear, I am going to kill you one of these days, Kamatari, one of these days, I'm just going to leave you to fend for yourself, and then what good will that do you?"

In truth a death threat was not really penetrating the mind of Kamatari who was holding onto Kenshin tightly and had fallen asleep. "MY LOVE!"

"Someone get him away from me!" Kenshin whispered wishing he had not taken the vow not to kill anyone. What was worse was that Hiko was going to see this and have a good laugh because that was the only person that Chou and Kamatari knew who could cut the chain without hurting someone. "Seppuku is looking awfully good right now."

"Don't you dare, I want my little Kenshin alive!" Kamatari giggled snuggling closer.

The train arrived in Kyoto around the evening and in truth, it was quite a sight to see Kenshin having his foot chained walking up to the Aoiya and seeing the looks that Aoishi and Misao were giving him. "Don't laugh," he whispered and walked into a room as Kamatari giggled tying the chain about his wrist so that he could have an excuse to sleep in the same room as Kenshin. This of course worked and the former samurai groaned.
