Pillow Grand Pree: ROUND ONE

Sanosuke Sagara yawned and scratched the back of his head.  He was never one for an early waker but today, he strangely awoke at around six AM, when even the Kamiya dojo was quiet.  Another scratch on the head, and it hit him.  Today was when he supposed to take Kenshin to his local gambling joint!  Sanosuke leapt up and pulled on his jacket and bandanna, all the while making his way to the door.

~*~

Kenshin Himura turned on his futon and murmured sleepily.  A finger prodded his arm again, and Kenshin said something unidentifiable.

"Kenshin!  Wake up!" Sanosuke's deep voice said impatiently. 

The Battousai groaned and still refused to get up.

With a devilish light in his eyes, Sanosuke grabbed the pillow from under Kenshin's head.

"Hey!" Kenshin protested feebly, his head connecting with the bed.

Sanosuke then resorted to the unmentionable—he whacked the Hitokiri Battousai's head with the pillow.

Kaoru Kamiya was awakened by a loud cry coming from Kenshin's bedroom.

"Uhm?" she sat up, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.  There came another yell, and the foomph of something soft against something hard.

"Ow Kenshin you *******!!!!"

Kaoru blinked.

Whap.

"That hurt, Sano you *****!!"

Kaoru blinked even more rapidly.

~*~

Yahiko Myoujin stirred in his futon, and he suddenly heard Kaoru shout something far off.  The boy sprang up.  If someone injured his teacher…

But no.  The shout was of amusement.  There was abruptly the noise of someone being tackled to the floor, and then some "foomphing" sounds.

Yahiko got up and dressed quickly.  He wanted to see what the excitement was all about—and fast.

"Take that you Bottle-site!" Sanosuke awarded Kenshin with a heavy hit to the side of his head.

Kenshin growled, "Oh yeah?  Get this, Zanzit!"

"Don't leave me out!  Take the Kamiya pillow maneveur!" Kaoru leapt in and beat the side of her pillow against Sanosuke's hair.

"Owch, crap, jou-chan, the least you could do is hold it back a bit!  Some lady!" Sanosuke laughed, and shoved his pillow into Kaoru's face.

"Shaddup, Sanosuck!" Kaoru pushed him away and stuck her pillow in his hair.

"Oh that didn't sound right, Kaoru-dono." Kenshin laughed, and absent-mindedly threw his pillow at the door, hoping to break up the fight between the two.

Foomph.

Kenshin turned around, befuddled.  Pillows werent supposed to go foomph as they hit the door. 

Yahiko glared at Kenshin, a red pillow mark right splat on his face.

"Oro?"

~*~

Sanosuke gave out an uncivilized war cry and slammed Kenshin over the head with his pillow.

Kenshin swept away and tripped Sanosuke with his sock-clad feet, whipping his face to the right all the while with his pillow.

Sanosuke growled, "Oh you're asking for it now, Bot-top-sight!" and swung his pillow at Kenshin's face.

Meanwhile, Kaoru was whapping Yahiko with the pillow, trying to hold him back.

"Lemme at him!  The jerk hit me first!" Yahiko howled, and clawed uselessly at Kenshin's so-near-yet-so-far backside.

Kaoru had him in a strangle hold with her pillow, and was saying thru gritted teeth, "Kso Yahiko he didn't do it on purpose!  Besides, if you go against you'll be smushed!  And…" she grinned, "I betcha can't even beat me."

"Oh yeah?!?!" Yahiko whirled around and slapped Kaoru's head with a pillow he recently picked up on the ground.

Kaoru fought back with a well-placed kick at Yahiko's rear, then smashed his head in with her pillow.  Whilst he moaned, she stood on top of him, one feet placed triumphantly upon his back.

Yahiko groaned and rubbed his buttocks, then grinned.  He rolled over and smacked Kaoru's stomach as hard as he can with his pillow.

Kaoru gasped, the wind knocked out of her, and was rewarded with Yahiko's front kick at her face.

"Owwww…izzat a way to treat you teacher?" Kaoru complained, and Yahiko snorted.

"Teacher?  You're just a substitute."

~*~

At long last, way past the six AM, the people in the Kamiya dojo finally ceased their battle of more than two hours. 

Kenshin's long orange hair was untied, and he was sitting in a corner of his once-organized room, panting.

Sanosuke is now using his bandanna to wipe his forehead, and practically drowning in sweat.

Kaoru was clutching her heart, taking in air in short sharp gasps.

Yahiko had staggered out a few moments earlier, out to run some errand Kaoru had ordered him to (under the idea that a girl beat him might come out into the open if he doesn't).

"Oroooo…" Kenshin moaned, and leaned his head against the wonderfully cold surface of the wood used to plaster his room.

Sanosuke retied his bandanna and was now fanning his jacket out (which was drenched in perspiration).

Kaoru once again attempted to stand up, but fell back down almost immediately.

Yahiko returned, with a small bag of whatever Kaoru told him to buy and—

Kaoru made a face.  "Megumi-san?"

Yahiko rolled his eyes, "I ran into her at the road."

Megumi stared at the sight which laid before her.  "Ken-san?  What happened to you?"

Kenshin tried to smile at her, but only a weak cough came out.  "Daijobu de gozaru, arigatou."

Megumi looked at his skeptically, then turned to face Sanosuke.  "And you, tori-atama, whatever happened to your hair?  It looks even more mussed up."

"Shut it." Sanosuke muttered, and hung his jacket on a hook.

Kaoru then stumbled up, and held her hand out to Yahiko.  "The goods?"

"Yeah, yeah." Yahiko mumbled, and dumped the whole bag's contents into Kaoru's outstretched hands.  It was a bottle of aspirin.

Kaoru popped the whole bottle into her mouth, and downed it without any liquid.

Megumi stared at her.  "And it seems like our little raccoon has gotten even weirder."

"Quiet." Kaoru murmured, and screwed the cap back on.  "Here." She tossed the empty bottle to Yahiko.  "Throw it away.  And get me some tofu too from the market."

"Oh gee thanks, busu." Yahiko sulked, and went back outside.

Megumi then turned away from Kaoru and faced Sanosuke instead.  "You.  Stand up."

"Oh now what?" Sanosuke grumbled, but stood up anyway.

Megumi pointed at the door, "Go.  Take a bath, for goodness's sake.  You're stinking up the room."

Sanosuke glared daggers at her.  "Oh yeah?  What about your darling 'Ken-san'?  he was fighting too, remember!"

Megumi rolled her eyes, strolled to Kenshin, grabbed his sleeve, and sniffed (evoking an "Oro?").   she then straightened up, and proclaimed.  "Nope.  All I smell is the Kenshin scent, which is what I long for every day."

Kenshin was blushing a tomato red.  Kaoru was also red, but for a different reason.

Sanosuke rolled his eyes at her.  "Talk about favoritism."

"You don't have a clue.  Now, march.  C'mon, hup two three four!  Lift that leg!" Megumi instructed, and followed a reluctant Sanosuke outside the dojo.

"Well, that was…exciting." Kaoru said blandly, and resorted to straightening her ponytail.

"Hai, most definitely." Kenshin agreed, nodding.

Kaoru then looked at Kenshin and smiled, he smiled back.

Yahiko popped his head in, "Oi busu I got the tof—" he stopped.  Then grinned.  "Oops, sorry if I ruined your 'moment'…"

"Gwa!  Get out!" Kaoru cried, jumping up and shooing him out.

Kenshin grinned and settled back.  Sessha wa rurouni.  Well, sessha wa can get used to this.

A/n- grins her head off oh boy.  That was fun.  If I get hyped enough (*cough*reviews*cough*), I just might continue on this ficcy with ROUND TWO!  Perhaps a pillow fight of the Juppon-Gattana (oh boy.  Watch Yumi scream her head off as Kamatari whap her over the head, sending an array of black hair cascading down her shoulders, and evoking a new love in Shishio's heart—now that I would like to see!), or maybe a strange all-star FOOD fight!  (watch Shishio cry out in rage as Yahiko add another "palm tree" made in whipped cream to his bandaged head, or Enishi laughing maniacally as he splattered the words Jinchuu onto Kenshin's back with bagels) 

Anyway, do any of you perhaps watched the RK episodes 28-31?  I have the DVD—check out the scene where Sanosuke just wakes up!  His hair's all messed up!  I was laughing like mad at it and my sister had to stuff a sock in my mouth to shut me up (ok well maybe not a sock…).

Later dayz!
