Once again we join our reporter Ms. Tomoe, this time in the beautiful 19th century Japan! After she managed to escape…uh, I mean was let out from the hospital, she decided that rather to sit back and wait for those idiots at work to track down Fuji, she would do it herself. And so we find her traveling along the outskirts of Tokyo, were Fuji was last seen. Unfortunately for Ms. Tomoe, she has to travel through Tokyo in order to continue, and hopefully for her without running into a certain group. If only fate were that kind…
She stops on a bridge and takes out a map, in order to properly navigate around the city. She pays no attention to the people walking by even though they stare at her strangely with her modern day clothes. She hears a couple of kids coming, and still pays no notice…but they, and their companions, do notice her.
Oro? Ms. Tomoe?
Ms. Tomoe: . . . . No…it's not possible…
She looks up, and to her great surprise (and horror) the entire Kenshin-gumi, plus two small children are standing right in front of her.
Kaoru: *excited* Ah! It is her!
Yahiko: Strange meeting you here.
Sano: Oi! It's the reporter lady! How ya doing?
Ms. Tomoe: Almost fully healed and plan to keep it that way thank you.
Kaoru: You HAVE to join us for lunch!
Ms. Tomoe: But I…
Kaoru: Kenshin! Let's go to the Akabeko!
Kenshin: But Kaoru-dono, we don't have any money.
Yahiko: We spent it all this morning.
Sano: We could put it on my tab, or the reporter lady here could pay…
Ms. Tomoe: I could pay?
Kaoru: You can! Ah you're such a good friend!
Ms. Tomoe: But I…
Kaoru: *grabs Ms. Tomoe's arm* Let's go everyone!
After a nice and expensive meal at the Akabeko, and several escape attempts, our reporter finds herself invited back to the Kamiya dojo. Kaoru and Yahiko practice in the dojo, Kenshin is finishing the laundry with Sano who is taking a "little" rest on the porch, and Ms. Tomoe's newfound friends for life Ayame and Suzume are finding new ways to style her hair. After their daily training is done, Kaoru and Yahiko join Ms. Tomoe and the children on the porch, and Kaoru strikes up a conversation with her about why she is here in Tokyo…
Ms. Tomoe: Well I am looking for Fuji still to interview him.
Sano: Fuji!
Everybody looks up at him.
Sano: Fuji is a mountain!!!
Ms. Tomoe: *sweatdrop*
Kaoru: *hits him over the head* Baka! Not Mt. Fuji, Fuji the person!
Yahiko: You mean Fuji the giant. That guy was huge!
Ms. Tomoe: And speaking of Fuji I must really start looking for him.
Kaoru: Oh but do you really have to go? Well, if you have to, then you must promise to come back and visit us! And even stay awhile!
Ayame: *happy* Yah! Stay here for a long time Hotaru-nee-chan!!!
Suzume: Stay nee-chan stay!
And so, after somehow promising to come back for a two weeks stay at the dojo, our reporter finally gets on her way. She was very surprised that she got away in one piece. Too bad that at this exact moment Kaoru flung Kenshin into the side of a wall which cause a tree to fall on top of Ms. Tomoe…ah well, tomorrow's another day…I hope…
