Yahiko's Tofu Dilemma
Scene 1 ::: Dinner, the Akabeko
"What did you order? I'm starving!" Yahiko sat at the table of the Akabeko, sitting up straight, a hand placed on his chopsticks.
A mischievous grin spread across the grown-ups faces. Yahiko slumped, losing his posture. He didn't trust these grins.
"Your order is here." Tsubame laid down some plates on the table, casting a quick glance at Yahiko. He caught it and hastily looked down at the table in front of him as Tsubame walked away.
"Your in for a treat," said Kaoru, pushing a plate towards him, her grin only getting bigger.
"Eh?" Yahiko looked down and his eyes widened in horror. "To. . .fu. . .?!" He heard Sanosuke snickering.
"Yes, tofu. Eat up, Yahiko-chan!" Kaoru grabbed her chopsticks and starting on her own plate.
"Hmph. Easy for you to say.you don't have to eat tofu." Yahiko mumbled, looking at everyone else's tofu-less dishes. He slid down in his seat.
"He really doesn't like tofu. he didn't notice that you called him chan." Kenshin whispered.
The others (except Yahiko, who hadn't heard) snickered.
"Why did you order tofu, anyway?" Yahiko said loudly in distaste.
"I thought you liked tofu." Kaoru said innocently.
"Um.. no."
She shrugged. "Oh well!"
"Hey, tofu isn't that bad, Yahiko-chan. Some of your favorite foods are made of plenty of it." Sano said, leaning over on the table. Yahiko looked at him quickly. Suppressing a smile, Sano continued. "Yup. Everything is made of tofu." He lied, sitting back. "Even everyday objects. Like. that flower. It's not real, it's made of tofu." Yahiko raised an eyebrow unbelievingly as Sano went on listing stuff made of tofu. "Ice cream. and rice cakes, of course. They say that it's rice, but it isn't. It's just tofu in disguise."
Kenshin chuckled and added to Sano's list. "That guy's hair is made of tofu, and even you are made of the stuff."
Scene 2 ::: Breakfast at the dojo
Yahiko went down for breakfast the next morning, mumbling "I hope there's something good. I didn't eat any of that tofu, so I'm starved." He sat down at the table, and looked down at his plate.
Once again his eyes widened. This time he let out a gasp of anger. "Tofu?! How far is this joke going to go?!"
Kenshin looked up from the where he was preparing the food. "What do you mean, tofu? They're eggs!"
"That's what you want me to think, eh? But I bet they're made of TOFU!" Yahiko fumed. He looked around the kitchen. Everything looked suspicious. He stood up and stormed away.
Kaoru cast a worried glance at Kenshin and Sano. Maybe they shouldn't've played that trick on Yahiko. Now he was going mental.
Scene 3 ::: Once again at the Akabeko; Lunch
Yahiko was in a very foul mood when lunch came around. When Tsubame asked what they wanted to order, he said very loudly that he wanted "anything that wasn't made of tofu, had tofu in it, or is tofu".
The time passed slowly until the food was finally brought in. The whole Kenshin-gumi held their breath to see what Yahiko got.
It wasn't tofu, to their relief.
Of course, in his state, Yahiko saw it as tofu. This was the last straw. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH WITH TOFU! I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYMORE TOFU FLOWERS OR TOFU EGGS OR TOFU HAIR EVER AGAIN!" The whole restaurant went quiet and everyone stared. Yahiko grabbed the table and flung it in a random direction, hitting Kenshin on the head.
"OrOoooooOoo." Kenshin's eyes went all swirly.
Tsubame looked at Yahiko admiringly. "Such strength." she marveled.

Man. this story is embarrassing. x__X;; Geez, it's from 2001. I was barely 12 when I wrote this, heh. ^__^; It's because of these bad fics I have that I am sort of afraid to write more. but I hope you enjoyed it anyway o_O;
