Oro! Said the April Fool
Another day at the Kamiya Dojo; Yahiko was training, Kaoru and Megumi were enjoying some tea, and Sano was sitting under a tree. And what was Kenhsin doing? He was looking for his… laundry bucket. That morning, he had finished all other chores around the house. By the time non came around, it was the perfect time to do the laundry, but the bucket was gone. And the usual pile of dirty clothes that is usually waiting for him was no where to be seen as well. He decided to check with Yahiko and Sanosuke first.
"Have any of you seen where the laundry bucket disappeared to?" They both shook their heads. "How about the laundry?" Again, they shook their heads.
"Nope, sorry," Yahiko replied.
"You know, I always thought that laundry was a woman's job; shouldn't you be doin' something else?" Sano asked.
"I see no woman here," Yahiko stated. He received two very large lumps on the head; one for Kaoru and one from Megumi. The lump made by Kaoru was noticeably larger. They stomped off in anger.
"Well, it's the least I could do to repay Miss Kaoru back for giving me a home to live in," Kenshin responded.
"Then what about the cooking, the cleaning…" Sano counted off on his fingers. Kenshin backed away, hoping not to answer the question. The laundry-less rurouni safely escaped an interrogation and went off to search in case he may have missed something. The two behind him snicker as they turned their eyes towards the sky and set off for their mission. Kenshin's search still proved fruitless. He decided to ask Kaoru and Megumi.
"Miss Kaoru, Miss Megumi, have you sen the laundry bucket?" He received the same reaction as with Sano and Yahiko. "The laundry?" Again they shake their heads.
"No, not at all; we haven't seen it," the two said in unison.
Kenshin sighed and sat down, accepting a cup of tea from Kaoru. He mumbled a "Thank you" as he reflected on his search, trying to think of any detail he may have not seen. Unbeknownst to him, Kaoru and Megumi had left his side and were now standing a distance away; they nodded to some unseen person and watched the sky. As the sun sank lower in the sky, the weary rurouni rose.
"I guess I should start dinner n--" An extremely large pile of laundry fell on top of him. A laundry bucket landed on top of the laundry-pile-formerly-known-as-Kenshin.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" they laughed, Kaoru and Megumi from the yard and Sano and Yahiko from the roof. "APRIL FOOLS!!!!!"
"Orororororororoooooooooooo…"
**A/N: this was written in celebration of april fool's day, as you might have guessed. I really wanted to do one of those fics written just for the holiday, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. This fic took a record time of 30 min to write (obvious from the length), and maybe an extra 15 for whatever I added when I typed it up. Hope you enjoyed it, I know I did (I almost laughed out loud in second period when I wrote this). Soon to come on major projects are TTE, Ch 2. Salamat for reading!
