Couch Potatoes part 3
__________________________________________
######### Yokohama, Night of the Pageant #########
"I'm soo happy for you Kaoru!"
Misao squeezed Kaoru in a manner that rivaled Jiya's.
"Me too Misao! You were always beautiful but kami-sama has treated you
especailly well these past three years."
Misao did a mock bow.
"Arigatou gozaimasu... Or do you prefer Arigatou de gozaru."
Kaoru chuckled.
"That's true, But Misao-chan, how'd you know Kenshin was a judge?"
Kaoru asked.
It was then that Misao became serious.
"That's right! Kaoru, we've *got* to talk."
######### Shishi-o's couch that same night #########
Yumi pops a kernel in her mouth.
Yumi: Oh shut up already! Those announcer's just won't stop talking.
--Television--
Male Voice: But what i'm most impressed with is the panel of judges. I don't
Know if I should be hiding or hollering!
Female voice: You're right, our five judges have great notoriety--- I mean
fame in Japan.
Yumi throws some Popcorn at the Television.
Yumi: Shishi-o, where have you gone *now*!
Shishi-o: Shut up woman.
######### Audience in Yokohama #########
Yahiko stands next to Sano.
"This is so fancy... Why do we have to wear these western clothes anyways."
Yahiko adjusted the collar of his white blouse.
"Shut up and smile!"
Sano whispered as he nudged his arm.
A old man in a traditional kimono passed by with younger woman on his arm."
Yahiko motioned to Sano.
"Hey, look at who that old guy is with!"
Sano was about to smack Yahiko until he realized who it was.
"Yahiko... That's Megumi..."
Yahiko nearly spat his drink out.
"That's Megumi!!"
Yahiko took a closer look and began to grin.
"And I thought she was foxy in her doctor gettup... I didn't even
recognize her in those expensive clothes."
All Sano could do was stare.
Yahiko continued to speak.
"What's she doing with that mummy anyways... He probably paid her
to walk around with him... or maybe they're together??"
Sano's eyes bulged out as he grabbed the collar of Yahiko's neck.
"Don't be stupid!"
He began to shake Yahiko like a ragdoll.
"Megumi's not like that--"
Sano stopped as he noticed the small crowd that gathered around them.
He released the boy and began to pat him on the back.
"Are you okay now? That's why I told you not to drink too fast... he he..."
When the crowd finally dissipated, Sano sighed in relief.
---Backstage---
"So Aoshi told you?"
Misao nodded.
"Looks like he's finally beggining to open up to you."
Misao fumed and turned SD.
"No way!! He doesn't even notice me!"
Kaoru waved her hand dissmisively.
"Whatever you say..."
"Mou!! What about you and Kenshin... It wouldn't be fair if your
husband was a judge!"
A few girls looked in the general direction of Misao.
"Did you just hear something?"
Kaoru covered Misao's voice.
"You be quiet! Kenshin and I haven't even kissed yet."
She eased her hold on Misao.
"Besides, we have to get dressed. They're probably starting soon."
"You're right... And we have to keep our eyes peeled."
"Misao-chan, do you need help with your make-up?"
"Thanks Kaoru."
---The judges area.---
Saitoh's lean body seemed to glow in his tuxedo. And for once, his
white gloves weren't the least bit inappropriate.
He moved to Aoshi who proved to be equally elegant if not more in his black
formal Kimono.
"I see you've notified your fellow Oniwa Banshuu."
Aoshi nodded.
"Do you think that girl of yours is safe here."
Aoshi's eys twitched once before he nodded again.
"Both you and Himura seem think they can stand a chance against those
attackers..." He paused to notice a slight flinch in Aoshi's expression.
"In any case, keep a close eye on the officials... never let your
gard down."
With that Saitoh walked away.
######### In a building two blocks away #########
"Big-K... no one else seems to be entering the building."
Suddenly a pigeon flew into the window landing on one of the cloaked
figures.
The cloaked figure removed the paper attached to the birds leg.
He briefly glanced at the paper before looking up.
"It has begun."
Sounded a muffled voice.
######### Shishi-o's couch #########
Yumi: Even in casual Kimonos they're beautiful.
--Television--
Male Oficial's Voice: Miss Kobe
Yumi's eyes twitch.
Yumi: Well.. at least most of them. How'd *SHE* get on here??
--Television--
Megumi: Miss Kobe, if you had one wish, what would it be.
Miss Kobe: *pause* hmm... To give everyone enough rice to eat.
Megumi: *eye twitching* Thank you.
Writing appears on the Tv Screen as the judges display their scores onstage
with white boards.
~ Score (out of 10):
~ Hiko: 1.5
~ Himura: 9.0
~ Hajime: 2.2
~ Soujiro: 9.9
~ Shinomori: 7.2
~ Total: 29.8
######### Yokohama, same night. Beauty Pageant ##########
Soujiro was smiling as usual.
Saitoh managed to notice someone walk inside.
"Shinamori, who's next?"
Aoshi looked as his list and swallowed.
"Miss Kyoto." he said pointedly.
"Miss Kyoto... give her a 9.8 for me... I'll be right back."
Aoshi nodded.
Saitoh left his seat, unnoticed by all.
The Official continued.
"Miss Kyoto."
Misao didn't feel nervous yet. She couldn't feel anything as a matter of
fact. She pasted a dazzling smile on her face, focusing her attention
on sounds from the door... Besides, this was just casual wear.
Aoshi slyly reached for Saitoh's white board. He continued to watch the
stage.
######### Shishi-o's Couch #########
Yumi: She's pretty I guess... But I look better.
Yumi popped more popcorn in her mouth.
--Television--
Megumi: If you could meet anyone past, present, or future, who would it
be?
Misao: My grandfather. I've never seen him, but he's had the greatest
impact on my life. I'd just want to thank him.
######### Yokohama, Pageant #########
Aoshi wrote down his score ~9.8~
He moved to Saitoh's board remebering what he was told ::Give her a 9.8::
Aoshi wrote down Saitoh's score ~9.9~
He smiled a ghost of a smile.
"That's more like it."
~ Score (out of 10):
~ Hiko: 9.7
~ Himura: 9.7
~ Hajime: 9.9
~ Soujiro: 9.9
~ Shinomori: 9.8
~ Total: 49.0
######### Shishi-o's couch some time later #########
Shishi-o come out wrapped up in aluminum foil.
Yumi: What are you doing??
Shishi-o: I'm going to that contest... something big's happening
tonight.
Yumi buries her hands in her head.
Yumi: You can't get into the Television.
Shishi-o: Have you seen "Stay Tuned".
Yumi sweatdrops.
Shishi-o: besides, I've learnt some codes...
--Television--
Yahiko wearing a red and white baseball cap with a black tee-shirt
and blue jeans.
Yahiko: Charmelion I choose you!!
Voice: RKmon, weekdays at 7 on the WB
Suddenly screen goes blank only to return with "3rd Annual Miss Meiji"
pageant Across the Tv screen.
Welcome back!
Our five finalist are in this order:
~ Miss Sapporo 49.5
~ Miss Tokyo 49.2
~ Miss Kyoto 49.1
~ Miss Nagoya 47.6
~ Miss Yokohama 47.5
Male Voice: Is it Just me, or is Seta Soujiro giving everyone the same
score?
Female voice: In any case, the women that have made it really deserve it.
All that's left is evening wear, and then the question round.
Male Voice: It's a really close battle, but my personal favorite is Miss
Tokyo.
Female voice: I like Miss Kyoto... she's got confidence and spunk.
Male: But everyone else seems to favor Miss Yokohama.
Female: She's the under dog that managed to sneak in... Maybe she'll
pull it off??
######### Yokohama, one block away #########
"The eagle has landed. Big-k is safely in the building. All soldiers
on standby. We're waiting for the sign. 1 if by hand... 2 if by feet."
######### Pageant, backstage #########
Kaoru zipped the back of Misao's long western, evening gown.
The two women suddenly froze.
"Shh!... Misao, did hear that?"
Kaoru whispered.
Misao nodded before grabbing Kaoru's hand.
"Someone has to go notify Aoshi..."
Kaoru looked around.
"You should go, you're quicker... besides, that dress is much lighter than
this Kimono."
Misao nodded.
"Be careful"
Kaoru winked.
"I'll be fine."
Misao slid around the curtain. She used her ninja skills to creep towards
the judges section.
She hid behind a thin curtain.
"Aoshi."
She whispered.
He didn't even flinch.
"Aoshi." she whispered more loudly.
"Aoshi" her tone more demanding. She clenched her fist before preceeding
to remove one of her shoes. She chucked it at Aoshi knocking him clean in
the skull. He still didn't flinch.
She preceeded to remove her other shoe when a hand grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing here? Go backstage."
She looked up to find Saitoh looming over her.
"They're here."
"Of course Ahou."
"No, you don't understand... They're backstage! I think they attacked
someone."
Saitoh nodded.
"In that case, stay here."
"What??"
With that, Saitoh returned to his seat. He whispered something to
Aoshi.
Misao saw Aoshi nod so she waited. She gaped when he remained seated.
"What are they doing!!"
The Oficial then came out.
"Now onto formal evening wear. We will begin in no particular order.
Miss Nagoya."
The curtain parted revealing someone in a red western dress.
They wore the "Miss Nagaoya" sash... But it wans't Miss Nagoya.
The official gaped: Where's Miss Nagoya.
Kenshin spoke.
"I guess it has begun."
Hiko nodded.
"Yes, baka deshi."
Misao emerged from the curtain and gaped as well.
"... K-K amatari!"
"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen... This is where the fun begins."
Kamatari grinned.
TO BE CONTINUED...

NOTES:
1. One more part... The big finish is yet to happen ^_^
2. When I listed the judges, I worte the names so that H's could be
together and S's could be togther... so I might have used
someone's surname instead of their name or vice versa...
Sue me! =:P ^_^

Couch Potatoes part 4 (final)
__________________________________________
###### Yokohama, Night of the Pageant ######
Kamatari: Sorry to spoil such a *lovely* occasion, but we've got a score
to settle.
*evil grin creeps across his face*
Kamatri: As we speak, your precious ladies are being tended to backstage.
###### Yokohama, Backstage ######
A barrage of men in black (no pun intended) approach the women.
Man 1: Ladies, we'll need your cooperation...
Man 2: Unless you want to die...
*all of them pull out swords*
Man 3: And we wouldn't want that...
Kaoru steps out with her bokken.
Kaoru: Have you any honor? How dare you attack us like this? As far
as i'm concerned, there will be no blood shed here tonight...
Man 4: *insert chuckle* Is that so?
Kaoru: Not as long as i'm here... Girls, run!
*Silence*
Kaoru: I said run!
*Silence*
Kaoru turns around before sweatdropping at what she sees. The women
have weapons in their hands ranging from rolling pins, to swords,
to chains and whips. The men in black sweatdrop as well.
Kaoru turns around with a defiant gleam in her eye.
Kaoru: Well, let's begin, shall we??
######### Shishi-o's Couch #########
Yumi: I can't believe you're making me do this!
Shishi-o: We'll be there soon!
Yumi looks down at the aluminum foil wrapped around her.
Yumi: You watch way too much television... I don't see how this will work.
Shishi-o sighs.
Shishi-o: Move a little to the left.
Yumi reluctantly steps left causing the aluminum foil around her shin to
fall.
Shishi-o grins from behind the Television set.
Shishi-o: Raise your right arm.
Yumi raises her arm causing the TV to glow.
Yumi's eyes widen with shock.
Yumi: what just happened?
Shishio chuckles.
Shishi-o: A molecular jump caused by the sudden influx of the radiation
signals. By merely adjusting the configuration of the paneling,
I have created a window...
Yumi: But how??
Shishi-o: Where's the remote.
######### Yokohama #########
Kamatari: *insert chuckle* You shall see the power of the Shin-juppongatana.
*motions backstage*
Kamatari: Shall we bring out one of your lovely ladies... Rolph!
*silence*
Kamatari: Rolph!
---Judges corner---
Himura leans over to Saitoh.
Himura: Something must have happened.
Saitoh: Most likely.
Aoshi unsheaths his Katana.
Saitoh: What are you doing?
Aoshi sits still.
Aoshi: Did you feel that? The atmosphere...
Himura: The air... it's like lightening.
--- Onstage---
KamaTari: Rolph!
Suddenly, Kamatari gasps.
Kaoru slowly drags a man in black onto the stage.
Misao gasps.
Misao: Kaoru?
Kaoru: Is this Rolph?
Suddenly two more girls in ripped clothing drag more men onto the
stage.
Girl 1: *dragging a man in black* Is this Rolph?
Girl 3: *dragging a man in black* Maybe this is Rolph?
Girl 7: *dragging a man in black* This might be Rolph, he's got an "R"
embroidered on his shirt.
More girls continue to pile unconcious men in black onto the stage.
---Judges corner---
Kenshin: ... *sweatdrops*
Saitoh: ... *sweatdrops*
Soujiro: ... *smiling*
Aoshi: ... Hm?... It's coming from over there... Misao, get away from there!
######### Shishi-o's couch #########
The living room is surrounded by blue, electric light.
Shishi-o: It's opened!
Yumi: Ahh!
Shishi-o: Just one more button...
######### Yokohama #########
Misao: Eh?... Ahhh!!
She is suddenly blasted straight into the judges panel by what seems
to be blue lightnening. She lands on Soujiro who catches her just in time.
Kenshin: The lightening... is blue.
Hiko: It looks like a portal.
All the judges are now armed.
The crowd gasps as something begins to protude out of the electrically
charged hole... Shishi-o's couch.
Kenshin: Shihshi-o?
Soujiro gasps. Kamatari gasps.
Kamatari: I knew you would come... You came back for me...
*tears form in his eyes*
Kamatari: Shishi-o sama...
Shishi-o: So we meet again-- Nani?
The couch begins to move the other way. Koaru gasps.
Shishi-o: Why am I going back?
Kenshin: He's leaving...
Misao: What's going on??
Shishi-o: No!!!
Suddenly, the portal closes.
Kenshin: What was that?
Saitoh: I don't even know myself.
All the judges save Soujiro turn towards the stage. They watch Kamatari and
the pile of unconcious men.
Kamatari: Shishi-o sama left without me... again.
Kenshin: I thought he was dead... Was this Kamatari's doing?
Saitoh: He may be more dangerous than we thought.
Hiko: He can summon the dead...
Aoshi: What magic was that?
Saitoh: The real question is, What was able to stop it??
######### Shishi-o's couch #########
Shishi-o: Che. I was so close! What interfered?
Yumi: This doesn't look good...
Shishi-o: What?
Yumi: The TV's gone.
Shishi-o: What??
Yumi: Yes... and there's a red booklet on the floor.
Shishi-o picks up the booklet.
[~You have breeched code 46 of your contract with Celestial Satellite
Corporation. You are no longer eligable for reception of our programming,
and are no longer eligable for reincarnation. The rest of this booklet
entails the cost of your teleportation and legal fees...~]
Yumi & Shishi-o: Legal fees??
[~ Yes, legal fees. You are being sued and at your request, being provided
an attorney.~]
Yumi and Shishi-o faint.
######### Yokohama #########
Kamatari sits in handcuffs.
Hiko: Well, the winner of the third annual Miss Meiji pagent is...
Miss Tokyo, Kamiya Kaoru
Kaoru walks onstage with a toothy smile.
--- The judges corner---
Kenshin: *smiling* Kaoru-dono.
Hiko nudges Kenshin as Megumi places the crown atop her head.
Misao finally comes to.
Misao: What happens.
Soujiro looks down and smiles.
Soujiro: Are you okay?
Misao nods.
Misao: I think so...
Aoshi glances at Misao and Soujiro.
Saitoh: A match made in heaven ne?
Aoshi's expression falters.
Soujiro: Can you stand?
Misao gazes into his deep eyes.
Misao: *breathless* Hai...
Aoshi: Ahem... Are you alright Misao?
Misao: Aoshi-sama?
######### 4 days later, Hannya's couch #########
A 6 year old Hannya sits in front of his TV set.
--Television--
It's time for Hiko and Friends!
Hiko: Hello boys and girls!
*pulls out Baka deshi dummy*
Baka deshi dummy (kenshin): Howdy doody??
*Hiko thwaps kenshnin's head*
Hiko: Baka! Don't say that name! Anyways boys and girls, let's go see
our Friends.
The screen swirls until we see a pink and red room. There is a dog house
in the corner and a futon where Ayame and Suzume jump.
Ayame: I don't know how to jump.
Suzume: I'll teach you...
::Ding Dong::
*the door bell rings. Ayame and Suzume run to the door*
Suzume: Who is it?
Hiko: It's me, Hiko-niisan.
*They hastily open the door and yell*
Ayame and Suzume: Hiko-niisan!!
*Hiko hugs the girls*
Hiko: So what have you two been up to?
Suzume: I was going to teach Ayame how to jump.
Ayame: Can Hiko-niisan help?
*Hiko smiles*
Hiko: Sure! And maybe Sano-kun wants to help.
*Ayame and Suzume cheer as Hiko walks over to the dog house*
Hiko: Here boy!
*A low, angry growl is heard from the dog house*
*Hiko squints his eyes*
Hiko: Maybe I didn't say that correctly... for the sake of your paycheck,
Here Sano-kun!
*Sanosuke bounds out of the dog-house in a dinosaur-suit*
Ayame & Suzume: Sano-kun!!
~~An 18 year old Beshimi walks into the room.~~
Beshimi: What are you watching?
*He picks up the remote control and notices a fork sticking out of the
nearby outlet.*
---Click---
Voice: We now return to "All My Aoiya's"
Misao opens the front door.
Misao: Tadia--
*She drops her package as the cameras zoom into the startled faces
of Aoshi and Megumi who share a blanket.*
Aoshi: Misao!
---Hannya's couch---
Behsimi: Aoshi-sama??
~OWARI... maybe~
