It's finally posted! Yes, the story you have all been waiting for (or
choosing to ignore most likely) is up! The first chapter of "Koishii"
written by yours truly and Kajun Spice is up, and features Sou-chan/Misao
and Kenshin/Kaoru. The Sou-chan/Misao thing is something of a make-up story
so that Sou-chan has his chance at her too, and it's written for those who
seem to love him and that pairing so much! Especially Chibi-Angel since she
asked for some fluff. It's a cute story so go check it out and make us
happy!
Kajun Spice: Just for that remark, I need to write another story about you…
Nimbus Ray: If Sou-chan actually got a clue in this story as to what love is really about, the fun would be over all too soon! We can't let that happen! LOL
Andromadalia: I thought about those two oniwabanshu women, but what are their names? I have no clue! LOL! The DVD set I have is horrible about typos, and their names were always victims…
Firuze: Oh, any day of the week is fine, if you can find the place. I think it is in the middle of nowhere, on somewhere road, if you have any idea where that is! LOL Oh, and I am so glad you find the little opening scenes with Misao and Aoshi fun, you are the only one who mentions them! THANK YOU! ^_^
Val: I am glad someone likes the beaver joke! I will try to incorporate it in again somehow just for you. ^_^
Thank you everybody who reviewed Kajun Spice's poem! She was so excited when she saw it had gotten up to 12 reviews!

The Morning After
Chapter 15
(Kyoto)
"YOU WANT ME TO WEAR WHAT?!?!?! Please Aoshi-sama, don't make me…"
"Why not?"
"It's so…so…embarrassing!"
"Just please try it on. I paid good money for it. Besides, I am the only one around right now who will see it."
"I know! But sooner or later someone else will see it too, and I won't be able to live it down!"
"It's only a wedding Kimono…"
"I know that, I'm not blind! But why do I have to wear one?"
"Because you wear one when you get married."
Misao sweat dropped. "Oh yeah…"

(Tokyo)
As with every bad day, it eventually ends, and the next morning comes. Sometimes just to start another bad day! For Soujirou, it was just that! He woke up in the tree with Saitou perched on the branch across the trunk from him. The bokken he still held was covered with bite marks, and the tree was stripped of its bark in several places.
Kaoru was sleeping underneath the tree, with bits of bark and a little dried drool in her hair where it had fallen during the night. Soujirou had never seen someone drool so much while they slept as Saitou did! But wolves and other dog type creatures do have that problem so its not very surprising. Soujirou was just glad it wasn't HIM sleeping under the tree all night!
Stretching and smiling despite the bad night he had, he turned toward the dojo and noticed Kenshin sleeping on the porch. Obviously he had been too worried to leave Kaoru out there by herself, but had been too frightened to get any closer either. He cuddled his sakabatou as he slept.
Trying to be as silent as possible, Soujirou jumped out of the tree, far enough away so he wouldn't accidentally wake the sleeping Kaoru. He then entered the Kitchen and decided to make breakfast for everyone. {And Himura- san isn't here, so I can do what I want with the rice animals!} Humming happily, he set to work.
****
Kaoru felt awful, and knew she probably looked worse! She really shouldn't have slept under the tree all night, but she had been so angry that she didn't stop to consider what it might do to her lovely hair and beautiful complexion! And she wasn't about to question exactly what was in her hair, either. That is better left unknown for the safety of all involved.
She noticed Kenshin snoozing on the porch, and then the smell of breakfast cooking. At that exact moment, her stomach growled. Walking as quietly as she could, she made her way into the Kitchen. Soujirou was there and making the most horrific looking little rice balls yet!
Walking up, she peered at them more closely. One had potato peels wrapped around it many times, and an evil expression. Another looked decided feminine and had green lips. She sweat dropped. "Let me guess. I never saw either of them, but I just know…Shishio and Yumi?"
Soujirou laughed delightedly! "Oh, Kaoru-chan! You are very smart! Let me show you the rest! This one with the evil eyes, beaver-like buckteeth and cigarette is Saitou-san. And this one over here with no expression at all is Aoshi-san. And this one is of Himura-san. I used carrot shavings for his hair, and even made a little cross scar! Oh, and also one of Master Hiko! See the target I put on the white cape? But, my favorite though is of Misao- chan! It may look normal, but I put it in a rice bowl!"
Looking at this…um…INTERESTING array of food made Kaoru suddenly lose her appetite. Noticing her face, Soujirou thought she was upset because there was not one of her. "I know you are wondering where you are, but you don't have to worry. I was saving the best for last!" With that, he pulled out a rice ball with wood chips on top of its head and scary eyes! Kaoru was NOT amused.
Moments later, she stomped out of the Kitchen to take bath and to pick the wood out of her hair, and left a swirly-eyed, smiling Soujirou on the floor. "If love and pain really go together, then she must love me more than ever…"
****
"This is the last lesson, and one that not even you can mess up." Hiko and Soujirou were sitting on the porch after breakfast. Hiko and Soujirou were the only two who could bring themselves to eat the interesting creations. The rest decided to see how soon Tae was gonna open her restaurant and took off. Hiko took particular relish in eating the one of him. The sooner there was no trace of that target on its back, the better.
"Eh? And what would that be?" Soujirou gave Hiko his full attention. Hiko cleared his throat. "Well, its not really a lesson. More of a tip or hint really. Maybe it would be better if I show you instead of tell you." Without pausing, Hiko stood and marched out of the dojo and into town.
****
Once they were in the middle of a crowded street, Hiko showed Soujirou for the first time the real reason he was so popular with women. If he left it up to his "lessons" he would never get anywhere. As it was, he had one thing few women could resist. Needless to say JUST one thing! ^_^ It wasn't something that could be taught. It was purely and simply, his LOOKS! All he had to do was just stand around a look arrogant, and women would fall at his feet. (Until he opens his mouth anyway! I am so mean, hehe…)
Women came from all directions, old and young alike! Wow, look at the woman with the cane run! She's using it now to beat off all the younger ones! Go grandma! Ooppss, ones got sake, so obviously Hiko is interested. Hehe, now Hiko's eyeing one girl's obi. Darn, there goes that stupid pick-up line, and now she's running off screaming! Oh, and look at the cute three year old! At least she's on his intellectual level! (Ducks when Hiko fans start throwing things at me)
(You do understand the real reason Hiko never married don't you? There is just no room in a relationship for three. Hiko is one, and his ego is two. HAHA! If he ever lost his ego, it would take a HUGE woman to take its place. Okay there is a lot I could say on this subject, but really, we don't want to be here ALL day…)
Soujirou was very impressed, but for once, he knew it wasn't a lesson for him. He wasn't good at being arrogant, and he realized it. He decided also that he really didn't want old women with cane s chasing him, so he really needed another tactic. Maybe if he modified it just a little bit…
****
"Good Evening, Megumi-san! Oh, and you too, Sano-san!" He smiled his cutest, most charming smile at Megumi. (That's it Sou-chan! He figured it out at last! The reason why girls like him! He's just so darn cute!) But, unfortunately he tried it on the one immune woman in the world. Bad choice Soujirou! (I think having spent so much time around Shishio and such, he's just attracted to evil people naturally, LMAO!)
"Oh hohoho! Where's the annoying one? I have more sake for him!" Megumi's fox ears were twitching in amusement. Despite outward appearances though, Megumi was actually feeling nice today. Maybe because the smile was cute for once and not scary. It even made her like him a little. But, there was no one in the world for her but the rooster head, not that she would ever tell anyone that! But she was getting a little tired of waiting around for him, so…
Soujirou had no time to answer Megumi's previous question about Hiko's whereabouts, because Sano stepped in. "You're here AGAIN? When are you ever gonna learn…Don't mess with Sagara Sanosuke's woman!" He growled and shook his bandaged wrapped fist in Soujirou's face.
"Oh hohoho!" Megumi flipped her hair and glared at him. "Who said I was your woman? You can't do anything but follow me around drooling all day, staring at my butt!" Before he could defend himself, her look suddenly turned mischievous, and he gulped nervously. When she gets looks on her face like that, you never know what to expect! "But that's nothing that I can't fix! Rooster head, will you marry me?" (I bet no one saw THAT coming!)
Sano's mouth was hanging open. He then nodded before he could stop himself! His male pride is shot now! WHA HA HA! "Oh hohoho! But before we do, you need a respectable job! And some better clothes! And so you won't scare my patients, you need better manners as well. Our children will not act like you if I can help it! And you will get a bath at LEAST once a week, more if I can manage…"
Neither the horrified, pleading Sano nor the determined Megumi noticed Soujirou leave. He was a little sad because he still hadn't managed to get a girl, but still relieved after listening to her that he didn't get THAT one! But, now that he has realized his cuteness potential, he was determined to try again on someone else. He just hoped poor Himura-san wouldn't hold a grudge…
AH! The plot thickens! We are down to our last couple! After I finish them off (No, not kill them, ROFL) then the special chapter! That will be the longest and hardest to write I think. I can't wait though! I will be sad when this is over, but hopefully with help, I will have more fun plots in the future! I hope you loved this chapter, and please leave me a review! I also hope you give Koishii a try!
