Kenshingumi in the Big City
Disclamer: I do not own any of the characters and places in this fic. They are all owned by its respective owners and stuff.
A/N: I made this fic because of natural boredom during a particular day, so some happenings may be very idiotic. I dedicate this to my friends, more particularly, my closest friends, Yukihime-san and a very avid Kenshin lover Anyways, please R&R ^_^
Summary: When Kyoto is turned into a very modern and urban place, the kenshingumi are lost in their own town. What are they to do? Chapter 1
"Watch out, Yoshi!" Kaoru yelled as her student nearly got hit by a speeding car, grabbing the back of his collar just in time.
Just then, the sign opposite them that showed the 'walk, don't walk' signals turned red, and the kenshingumi, mistaking it for the sign to cross, started to walk. Then chaos erupted. The cars around smashed into each other and a few even burst into flames and exploded. The people in the cars got out and started to shout curses at each other. Some other people on the sidewalks got fire, and one of them, a middle aged man in his mid-thirties starting doing the funky chicken in desperation to get the fire off. "Oro?" said a very puzzled Kenshin, looking around and staring at things happening, but he just shrugged and continued walking with Kaoru, Yoshi, Sanosuke, Megumi, and Soujiro.
"Ne, Sagara-san, why is it that that person is dancing?" Soujiro asked, pointing to the man doing the funky chicken, when they finally got to the other side of the road. "Dancing? I thought it was a ritual for the dead." Sanosuke answered, shrugging. So the gang walked along on the sidewalk, oblivious to the stares and weird glances, obviously because of their clothing, that came from the other late morning shoppers. As they entered a mall, Sanosuke's gigantic Zanbatou hit the top of the doorframe and the destroyed parts fell onto the unlucky citizens behind. But due to Sano's insincerity, he pretended no to hear the squeals of pain from behind him. Luckily, the ceiling of the inside was high, so it didn't hit anything more, though many civilians were nearly and killed and a few booths were destroyed. As they took a turn, they passed by a stor the sold toys for kids, and, out of curiosity, they entered it. Inside, all of them scattered, obviously very interested in the merchandise. Soujiro in particular, was very interested in the array of fake swords and went over to study them. He knelt down in front of them and pulled his katana out to compare them. As he did so, a salesgirl nearby said to him, "Sorry sir, but I'm going to have to ask you to surrender your sword to the guard. Sharp objects and hazardous materials are not allowed inside mall premises."
"Sharp materials?" Soujiro asked innocently. "Oh, you mean this?" He lifted his sword and somehow managed to point the tip directly in front of the salesgirl's neck. At Soujiro's action, the salesgirl backed away several steps, obviously thinking that Soujiro was going to kill her, and ran away screaming like some sort of madwoman. Soujiro scratched his head. "What was that all about?" he said to nobody in particular. He looked down at his katana, shrugged, and put it back in its sheath.
Up at the section where rattles, cribs and the like were sold, Kenshin was having fun studying the items. He was particularly interested in a porcupine shaped rattle and thought that it was extremely familiar to something: Sano's head. He nearly laughed out loud, but he had enough sense not to in a public place, so he just put the rattle back down and walked over to a huge basket overflowing with balls of all shapes and sizes. He picked up the top ball- a technicolored beach ball- and started to bounce all the way around the shop. Unbeknownst to him, he was creating a mess: shattering glass stands, knocking over shelves of many items, and hitting even a few other store patrons, who in turn, cursed at him, and stormed out. Before he knew it, a salesgirl was at his side, saying, "Would you like to buy that ball, sir?" "I would like to, but." Kenshin trailed off, unsure of how to explain that he didn't have money. "You would like to, sir? But how will you be paying for those?" The salesgirl pointed to the havoc Kenshin had wreaked.
"Oro?" was the only thing the red-headed swordsman could say in his time of bafflement. As Soujiro stared around the huge mass of shelves around him, he couldn't help but notice a six and a half foot high model of a robot holding a sword. He went nearer to it and said to himself, "A sword? I thought swords weren't allowed." So he went nearer and said to the robot, "Robot-san, don't you know that swords aren't allowed in here?"
No answer.
"Oi, robot-san, didn't you hear what I said? And doesn't standing like that all day make you feet hurt? And why don't you take you heavy armor off, I'm sure that you'll feel better when you do."
Still no answer.
Soujiro knocked the robot, saying, " Being very antisocial isn't very good robot-san, people will think that you're a bad guy." Silence.
"Oh, I forgot. My name's Soujiro, what's yours robot-san?" More silence.
"Anyway, robot-san, since you have a sword and seem to be very good at it, do you mind seeing how I use mine?"
No answer.
Soujiro took the silence as a yes and said, " Ready, robot-san? Here goes!" He made a quick motion with his sword and became puzzled at what he saw. Because in front of him, the head of the robot he had been talking to.fell and rolled off the ground A/N: Please R&R. Don't worry about criticizing, even I do it all the time ^_^And.sorry if the title sounds like 'Babe: Pig in the big city' I just couldn't get a better title^_^ The stuff that Kaoru and Megumi and Yoshi are doing will be said during then next chapter. ^_^ soujiro is just so cute I couldn't help but an extra scene.^_^
