Mikla: "Greetings, and welcome back to our long-awaited questionnaire with everyone's favorite swordsmen…Kenshin Himura!"

Kenshin: -looking out at the many viewers, he nods with a small smile- "Hello, my friends. It's been awhile since we last talked…I'm glad to be with you once more, that I am."

Mikla: -nods in agreement- "As am I, Mr. Himura!

-turning my attention back to the viewers, I flash a bright smile as I proceed to speak-

Now, before I forget, I shall ask that you all put your hands together and welcome Kenshin's number one lady back onto the stage. Come on out, Kaoru!"

Kaoru: -encouraged by the gracious cheers from the viewers, she ventures out once more to take a seat beside her husband, a warm smile on her face- "…Thank you all. It's wonderful to be here once more."

Mikla: -smiling over at the two of them, I then heave a small sigh before clapping my hands resolutely in front of me- "Alright! What do you two say? Let's get started!"

Kenshin: -nods- "At your word, Mr. Mikla."

Kaoru: -smiles over at me-then nods to show her consent-

Mikla: "Ok! Let's do this!" -stacking my papers neatly in front of me, I look down to the first question-


Poor Mikla, I suggest plenty of fluids, rest, and avoid dairy. Works for my family every time. Anyway, Kenshin, out of the blue question here, do you know how to dance. After all, dancing is one form of courtship in the animal kingdom.

Me: -smiling affectionately up at the screen displaying the question, he turns to look out at the audience- "…I thank you for your concern and advice, Dragonlover71491; it's greatly appreciated. Now then…

-smirking cheekily, I swivel my gaze down to peer teasingly at the wanderer-

…have an answer for her Kenshin?"

Kenshin: -smiling gently, he turns his head towards the camera as if trying to speak directly at Dragonlover71491- "In all honesty, my dear…I can't dance to save my life, that I can't."

Kaoru: -nods- "It's true. On our wedding night, I had to graciously decline his offer to dance on account of the remembrance of squashed toes and bruised feet."

-rubs his knee sympathetically as he lowers his head with an embarrassed groan-

Me: "…Ouch."


*pops out of nowhere and drops a very confused 15 year old red headed assassin from the past, then disappears in a puff of smoke before anybody reacts*


Me: -blinks- "Umm..?"

Kenshin: -shrugs- "Oro."


Ah, Mikla! You recover and I get stuck with Chronic Sinusitis and several other things for the past 2 months!

Anyways, Kenshin. My very serious question is this: Cho or Han? *Smirks*

Kenshin: -blinks, then smiles widely- "Kaoru. Always Kaoru."

Me: -Kaoru smiles lovingly, leaning over to press a gentle kiss on the wanderer's cheek-tilting my head, I join in with the crowd as an affectionate sigh is heard throughout the studio- "Well, isn't that sweet? A wonderful answer, Himura."

Kenshin: -laughs softly-


didn't kenshin stay with the slave women only for a day?

kaye


Me: "Kenshin?"

Kenshin: "It certainly seems like only a day passed before they were taken from me…

-sighing heavily, he continues on in a reserved tone-

To answer your question, no. Akane, Sakura, and Kasumi were some of the newest slaves that the traders had picked up along their journey, and they were there when I arrived…but I had a few, wonderful days that were spent in their care until that dreadful night. When that night came and went, I promised myself…that I would always remember their teachings, and kind words. Until my last breath, I shall remember them."

Me: -nodding in solemn silence, I turn a page to the next question-


OK Kenshin I have a totally random question...Do you like dogs?(note serious voice like it was a more serious topic)

Heartlesslover96


Kenshin: -blinks- "Well, I don't particularly dislike dogs. If I had to pick, however…I would say cats are more my style, that I would."

Me: -laughs- "…It seems we may have more in common than I previously thought! I LOVE cats!"

-speaks in a /Roy Mustang – Dog Line/ voice-turning to stare incredulously at me, he watches me carefully-

Kenshin: "…Oro?"

Me: -coughs in embarrassment, dismissing his curiosity- "Eh-hem! Uh, yes…let us continue on…"


I really like your story not many people write questions with a serious tone at times like you do and that's the kind I like. Almost means I can ask a serious question of kenshin

When you are fighting do you still have to pay attention so that you don't kill someone with blunt force trama? If you so then why not simply use a katana and not kill with it? Ooh and one more thing... Why did you change the way you did your hair after the war?

Can't wait for the next chapter

-firefull12-


Me: -grinning, I wink appreciatively at the camera- "Thank you for the compliment, -firefull12-! Kenshin..?"

Kenshin: -nods at the words from the question- "Very good questions, my friend. Where to begin..?"

Me: "…At the beginning, maybe?" –falling silent as he shoots a glare my way, I watch as he begins to speak once more-

Kenshin: "You always have to pay attention when you are unleashed in battle. No matter how skilled and composed a swordsman is, there is always the bloodlust that engulfs you when cutting down an enemy. With the change of my ways – having become a wanderer who doesn't kill – the pressure of living up to my vow was challenging at first; but, just like anything else, I learned to cope with it and soon it became second nature to me. So no…I will never slay another person, be it as a ManSlayer or a wanderer.

-reading the next part, he smiles wryly-looking briefly at Kaoru as she squeezes his hand comfortingly, he begins again-

I don't use a mere katana because my reverse blade is precious to me…in every aspect of life. It is the core part of my vow to never kill, and so I keep it with me as another constant reminder. Just like my scar that adorns my cheek, my blade has branded me, and so will stay by my side until I deem the time right to release it from my hold. My hair is also a symbol of my changed ways. Instead of wearing it in a high ponytail, it rests on my neck…in a way, signifying my passiveness to killing and slaughter."

Me: -blinks- "Great answer, Kenshin. Are you okay to continue to the next one?"

Kenshin: -smiles- "Of course. Let us proceed, Mr. Mikla."

Me: "Alright!"


*on a sugar/caffeine high at the moment...*(VERY BAD COMBO FOR ME..just a warning) Tee Hee Hee *sweet smile* so ken-kun just a few questions. #1 Muffins!

#2 were you a virgin when you met karou cuz i member seeing you with Tomoe in nothing but a blanket?

#3 (tis is for karou)...i admit jealousy at you for taking one of the HAWTEST men on teh planet but as the old saying goes

"if you truly love someone then all you want is for them to be happy even if your not part of that happiness."... so i was wondering if you could give us young girls out here some advice on how to catch a nice gentlemen like you did.

#4 is it strange of me to think of sano as an older brother figure?

#5 is it strange of me to think of yahiko as a younger brother figure?

and finaly#6 is it strange of me to want to (speaking in the sweetest tone ever) brutally torture and murder anyone who harms yahiko-kun?

Tee hee hee ;)ta ta for now *being epic fail and falling off the ceiling where i was perched like a ninja stalker person and hitting my head getting up and walking offstage as if nothing had happened*

Heartlesslover96


Me: "…Oh wow. Rapid fire, Kenshin! Go!"

Kenshin: "Huh? O-Oro!

-becoming flustered, he takes a breath and begins to answer quickly-

Ah, let's see…

(1) Oro?

(2) I was not a virgin when I first met Kaoru. Tomoe was my first love…and my first wife. We spent many days and nights together, and so she was the first person to ever receive my love – in a sense – in that intimate a way."

-Kaoru clearing her throat, she smiles gently out at the audience, leaning comfortably into her husband's embrace- "…I am certainly a lucky woman to receive such kindness and love from the man beside me. It's true, the words you speak…and as for giving advice to other young women out there…never try to hide who you are. Speak your mind, and don't give in easily to pressure or insecurities. You are beautiful, and when you hide that beauty within yourself, you can't let your true heart shine through."

-smiling, she finishes her short speech, laughing softly as a kiss is placed on her forehead by Kenshin-watching her for a second more, he turns his attention back to the questions-

(3) "Ah…no?

(4) No..?

(5) Ah, well…yes, THAT might be a tad strange on your part, Heartlesslover96 – that it would."

Me: "Awesome answers guys!

-turning to the audience, I raise a hand in farewell-

We'll be waiting for more of your amazing questions and inquiries…oh! Don't forget…Kenshin is able to do requests now to, so send those in if you have any!"

Kenshin: -stares at me, wide-eyed- "…Oro?!"

Kaoru: -shakes her head- "Oh dear…"

Me: -smiles widely as the screen fades to black-


A/N: Sorry for SUCH a long delay guys! I haven't updated my stories in forever…but I have semi-good news! XD
College has been kicking my butt the last two semesters, so I decided to take a break for a semester or two…which means, the only things I'll be doing will be writing fanfiction and working.
-throws imaginary confetti in the air-
…SOOOOO, I look forward to finishing unfinished projects, and starting on new ones! Hope you'll all stay tuned in :) Make sure to review, and send requests in if you have any – Kenshin's just DYING to make a fool of himself!
-laughs evilly while shaking evil pompoms of evilness- *\^^/*
