Hello people! I am back again to torment and entertain you with more tales
about your favorite anime characters in the world! What would the world be
like without them? Very boring cause then I wouldn't have anything to write
about! Well anyway, today's carefully selected victims are Aoshi & Misao!
(Yes, yes, I promise I will get around to Sano and Megumi, I just don't
have any really good ideas yet for them. I may even get desperate and pick
on Yahiko & Tsubame later, and even dear Hiko is presenting a nice large
target. Anything's possible for the future.)
Prudence-chan & Gypsy-chan: I swear that Sano and Megumi are the next on my hit list like I said above. I am just wracking my brain really hard over them.
Marstanuki: I know you want me to concentrate on K&K and I promise even when I attack other couples, they will be in the middle somehow…even if Kaoru has to do a strip show or something to keep the attention on herself! LOL! Hmmm…
Sasura: Well, you requested it, and here it is! Aoshi and Misao like you have never seen them before! (And thought you never would either I bet!)
Midori: Everything I throw in there off the top of my head always seems to get the biggest reaction. ^_^ Those lines and the sessha thing were last minute additions I made before I posted.
Kelly: That was a cute little rhyme about Saitou, LOL, thank you!
Of course I can't forget Sherah for reading and reviewing the moment I got the last chapter up. She sits around on ff.net all day watching for reviews from everyone, LOL, so don't disappoint her. The poor thing has nothing better to do. Hehe! Don't kill me!
Sister Weasel, thank you for the great idea for Misao! I would have never thought of it! Most normal people wouldn't have! Hehe!
Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin or any of the characters I make fun of. If I did, the characters would all be attempting suicide on a daily basis, so be glad.
The Morning After
Chapter 4
Kyoto
"OH MY GOD!" Shrieked Misao, also affectionately know as the weasel girl to friends and enemies alike. "I just got a letter from Sano in Tokyo!" she announced, turning to Jiya with a look of pure shock. Jiya sat, waiting a few moments for her to go on, but she just sat there in stunned silence. Becoming impatient, he ripped the letter from her limp hands and proceeded to read. Perverted mind that he has, he really enjoyed the contents.
"Ohhh, I see what shocked you so much Misao-chan. So Himura-kun finally made a move! That is pretty shocking! Look how old I am, and I still get more women! Hehe! At least he has good taste and goes for the young ones!" Preening a bit and looking very self-satisfied, he didn't see the pillow/missile aimed for his head.
"I didn't even read that far you perverted old man!" Misao seethed. "I really don't care what Kaoru-san and Himura do with their private lives." She perked up some. "In fact, I'm happy for them! It gives me hope for Aoshi-sama and myself, and proves Himura isn't gay!" Realizing her slip, she slaps a hand over her mouth. {I really hope that doesn't get back around to them! Kaoru-san, Iie, KENSHIN would kill me for that one!}
Jiya was too baffled over her first reaction to the letter to notice the slip. "Demo, if you didn't read that, then what were you so shocked over?" he asked. Relieved, she settled down and told him the truth. "I was surprised that baka knows how to write! Maybe he got someone intelligent like Megumi-san to write the letter for him! Even weirder, where did he get the money to send a letter? Probably borrowed that from Kaoru-san."
{Hey, maybe its time I go visit them. It might be a good idea to get some advice from Kaoru-san. Himura must have been just as stubborn as Aoshi- sama if not more so when it comes to this stuff! If I could only get him to come with me! But how?} Misao spent the rest of the afternoon plotting her course of action. {Kidnapping? No good, I tried that already. Bribery? Blackmail? What else is there? Hmmmm…I HAVE IT!}
The next day Misao decided to approach Aoshi. He was as usual, wearing a robe and sitting on the floor, doing nothing. I would call it meditating, but no, I think maybe he was asleep. "Aoshi-sama?" Misao asked tentatively, poking his arm. Aoshi snorted lightly and opened his eyes (AH! He was sleeping!). "Nani?"
"Do you think…could we maybe…" She couldn't seem to just spit it out! Shall we get in Aoshi's head a minute? {Oh no…she isn't actually asking me to sleep with her is she? Again?} He waited patiently. If she only knew what he was thinking. "Would you please, pretty please…GO WITH ME TO TOKYO?" (What, you were expecting, some complicated plot? Remember, this is Misao we are talking about!)
{Whew! Is that all?} "Ah." Misao pounced on him with glee! "Oh Aoshi-sama! It will be so much fun! We can leave tomorrow morning!" Her hold was so tight around his neck it was amazing he hadn't passed out yet. Oh wait, I think he did. It's just so hard to tell with him! Oh well, back to Tokyo everyone!
* * * *
Tokyo
It was late morning, and the dojo was deserted except for Kenshin & Kaoru. Yahiko was out practicing, and Sano was who knows where, since Kaoru was planning on cooking lunch that day. They had the place to themselves for the rest of the afternoon at least, and Kaoru planned on making the best of it.
Slipping out of her room, she sneaked up behind Kenshin, who was, as usual, bent over the little tub of laundry. He was oblivious, scrubbing one her kimonos happily and humming to himself. It would have been a perfectly normal scene, but…what WAS she wearing?
"Ken…shin!" She said in the most seductive tone she could muster without laughing. He turned and "Oro'ed" right on cue! "Wh…what are you doing wearing sessha's gi?" Kaoru laughed. "What, you don't want me wearing it or something?" She was wearing one of his pink, excuse me, FUSCHIA gi's and well, nothing else! Pretty daring!
Eyes still wide and innocent, or at least seemingly so, he considers what she said. "That is one of sessha's dirty gi's and needs to be washed. Since the laundry is being done now, you can give it to me." Laughing, she refused, and they started a gentle tug of war over the clothes. Needless to say his eyes were looking a lot less clueless now. (Hehe!)
During this little moment in time, what do you think is the worst thing that could possibly happen? That someone might walk in on them? Nope! More like that Kenshin would win and someone walk in on them! (Evil laugh!) Kaoru had forgotten to shut the gate, shame on her, and guess who should arrive but Misao and Aoshi from their long, grueling travels! Right on time!
Standing in shock, the four just looked at each other, not moving. Three, wait, FOUR red faces! Even Aoshi was blushing! Misao was about to open her mouth to laugh or scream, whatever could come out first, when the most unexpected sound in the world met her ears. Aoshi was…laughing? He was bent at the waist, guffawing loudly (can you picture this? LOL!) tears running down his face. {Oh…my…god! He's laughing! AND crying! I always wanted my Aoshi-sama to smile, but this…this is just scary!} Everyone else forgot their embarrassment and sweat dropped.
"Ummm, Aoshi-sama? Are you okay?" Misao's frightened voice seemed to bring him back to earth and he abruptly quit laughing and straitened up. The same expression was back on his face. "Ah." Back on the other side of the yard, Kenshin whispered to Kaoru. "Did we really see that de gozaru?" She shook her head violently in response and continued to stare.
Finally coming to his senses, Kenshin realized the state Kaoru was still in and without a word to either guest, grabbed her by the arm and drug her back inside to change clothes. He didn't care if it had caused a miracle; no one was suppose to see that but him! Muttering under his breath, our adorably peeved Kenshin helped her change clothes, purposely picking out the most conservative outfit he could find. Even his precious sakabatou, in a compromising position with Kaoru's bokken (LMAO! Next thing you know there are going to be little reversed blade knives with wooden handles running around!), could not drag his attention away this time. ^_^;
Meanwhile, back outside, things were very quiet. Aoshi stared blankly. Misao's mouth was hanging open. Bird's made nests in it, and still no one moved. When Kaoru and Kenshin finally came out (poor little Kaoru looked like a mummy) everything was exactly how they left it. Clearing his throat uncomfortably, Kenshin finally decided he couldn't hold a grudge forever. {At least not to their faces.}
"Would you like to come in and have some tea de gozaru yo? You must have had a long trip." Ushering them inside, he made Kaoru get the tea, while he sat and glared with a friendly little rurouni smile in place the whole time. (A jealous Kenshin is way too funny!) Finally gathering her wits after Kaoru had to drag her into the house, Misao manages to shut her mouth. When Kaoru got back with some tea, she had found her voice too.
"I got a letter from Sano-san not long ago. He told me some very interesting stuff!" Before she could go on, a voice yelled from outside. "SESSHA TOLD YOU KAMIYA-SAN! THE WEASEL GIRL KNEW TOO!" Kenshin and Kaoru both turned beet red. Furious, Kenshin of all people beat Kaoru to it this time and stomped outside. "SAITOU-SAN, FOR THE LAST TIME, GET OUT OF THAT TREE AND STAY OUT!" There was a bash and a thump, a loud groan, and then a very grumpy Kenshin came back in and sat down. {Even he saw too? I am gonna tell Tokio-dono on him…} This was just not his day.
Once things had settled down and everyone was back to normal, Kaoru having made several threats against Sano and Saitou, she became the polite hostess, offering to let them stay as long as they want. Aoshi "Ah'ed" and Misao shrieked happily. Without wasting anymore time, she pounced on Kaoru and drug her to another room to interrogate, leaving Kenshin to entertain Aoshi. One stared. One glared. This is gonna be FUN! Break out the popcorn and sleeping bags girls, we may be here a while…
* * * *
(Sweeping up stale popcorn and crumbs from Midori's cookies while Kenshin washes sleeping bags -_-; …I know you wanna stay there and stare at them, but we have to move on for the sake of the story!) Anyways…
"That was no help at all! Kaoru-san couldn't give me any decent advice. 'Don't let him do laundry in the bath tub' or 'make sure there is no one around when you actually do manage to get somewhere with him' is not exactly what I was looking for!" Disappointed, she was wondering around the yard of the dojo by herself later that afternoon. Kenshin had finished his laundry and the clean clothes were snapping in the breeze, and now no one was around. Aoshi was inside staring at the wall, and Kaoru & Kenshin were who knows where. Staring at the clean clothes, she contemplated her foremost worry.
{My chest is so flat! It's no wonder he doesn't look at me like I'm a woman, just a kid. Will I ever fill out? Is there another way to get his attention?} A devious idea began to dawn in her mind while staring at those clothes. It was faint at first, barely grazing the edges of her mind, but the harder she stared, the more appealing the idea became. {Why not? It couldn't hurt! Even if they weren't real, it would get him pointed in the right direction!}
Without another moment's hesitation, she pulls the lowest bamboo pole down and removes all the clothes. Not even bothering to find privacy anywhere, she proceeds to stuff different articles of clothing down her shirt. Everything from obis to Kenshin's underwear made the trip there and back, nothing really working right. Everything was too lumpy or wouldn't fit! In the end, everything was lying crumpled in the dust, thrown there in a fit of temper. As she was trying the last article in her shirt, Kenshin comes out of the kitchen and finds his laundry totaled.
"Sessha's underwear! Kaoru's clothes! What did you do that for Misao-dono?" Kenshin wailed. Red faced, she couldn't bring herself to answer. He had observed her pulling the pair of socks (or whatever they called them back then) out of her shirt and the answer dawned on him. See, he really is sharper than he looks!
"Are you trying to get Aoshi-san's attention de gozaru?" With a miserable nod, she wailed "Hai! But nothing fits right! It all looks so lumpy and deformed! What do I do Himura? Give me an idea!" She grabbed the front of his gi and shook him fiercely. Recovering, he was ready to tell her for starters she could rewash the clothes, but she looked so miserable, he decided to help.
"Alright Misao-dono. Sessha will help if you will help wash the clothes and promise NEVER to touch them again!" {And it will get Aoshi's attention of my Kaoru!} With a joyful shout, she willingly helped him gather and wash every article of clothing till they were as good as new. Once that was done, Kenshin whispered something in her ear. She glanced at him doubtfully, but desperate, she would do anything at this point! With an innocent smile, he pointed her towards the kitchen and went to look for Kaoru, so they could enjoy the coming show together.
WHA HA HA! What could our devious little rurouni have told her to do? Review and you will get the next chapter to find out! (I always complain about cliffhangers to people, and now I am doing it too. -_-; shame on me.)
Sorry sister dear, obviously your idea is coming, but there is still so much left I decided I would split it up into two chapters. This was a really hard chapter to write with Aoshi & Misao, I hope I did a good job with it. I certainly had fun if nothing else, laughing my head off at the sakabatou joke…anyway, be patient for Sano & Megumi, if given more time I am sure I can come up with something really good. These things do seem to come to me out of the blue.
Prudence-chan & Gypsy-chan: I swear that Sano and Megumi are the next on my hit list like I said above. I am just wracking my brain really hard over them.
Marstanuki: I know you want me to concentrate on K&K and I promise even when I attack other couples, they will be in the middle somehow…even if Kaoru has to do a strip show or something to keep the attention on herself! LOL! Hmmm…

Sister Weasel, thank you for the great idea for Misao! I would have never thought of it! Most normal people wouldn't have! Hehe!
Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin or any of the characters I make fun of. If I did, the characters would all be attempting suicide on a daily basis, so be glad.

"OH MY GOD!" Shrieked Misao, also affectionately know as the weasel girl to friends and enemies alike. "I just got a letter from Sano in Tokyo!" she announced, turning to Jiya with a look of pure shock. Jiya sat, waiting a few moments for her to go on, but she just sat there in stunned silence.

Her hold was so tight around his neck it was amazing he hadn't passed out yet. Oh wait, I think he did. It's just so hard to tell with him! Oh well, back to Tokyo everyone!

These things do seem to come to me out of the blue.
