Author's Notes: A/U fanfic about the Kenshin-gumi traveling through time after accidentally getting trapped in a time machine while attending a high school Science Fair. Will they ever find their way back to the present? Lost in Time Comedy Fanfiction by Gypsy-chan Enjoy! (created 3/02, posted 6/02)
Author's Comments: Please note, this is a humor fic and should not be taken seriously. Expect a lot of OOCness on the part of the characters and situations. Also, I have done extensive research on many of the historical and scientific facts that will be weaved in throughout the story. However, I've changed those facts to fit my comedy story. I will post the internet sites of my research for those who want the real facts.^_^
Part Six
".....Kaoru pushed the button on Kenshin's portable time machine. The angry mob watched as Kenshin, Kaoru and the horse jumped off the cliff and disappeared before their eyes.
"Where did that strange redheaded young man learn to ride a horse like that?"
"I guess we'll never know."
Kenshin and Kaoru were now drifting through time, not knowing where they will end up next.
*****************
Yahiko and Tsubame landed in a large tree after being hurled through time.
"Tsubame! Tsubame! Where are you?!!"
"I'm here Yahiko," she said while clinging onto a thick branch.
"Stay right there, I'll climb up to get you."
Yahiko began climbing from the lower part of the tree up to where Tsubame was.
"I'm afraid of heights," she whimpered while covering her eyes with one hand and holding onto the trunk of the tree with the other.
"Don't worry Tsubame, I promise not to let you fall."
He moved closer to her wrapping his arm around her and the narrow part of the tree. They both blushed at one another.
Down at the basin of the tree sat Aoshi scribbling out various calculations on paper. As he busied himself with his writing, a beautiful young lady dressed in a fashionable 16th century outfit, with matching parasol, approached him.
The young lady grinned widely upon catching sight of Aoshi.
"Beautiful day isn't it?"
He didn't respond.
"My, what a hot day," said the young woman. "Mind if I join you here in the shade?"
Still no response. He kept his head buried in his notes. The young woman became impatient and stomped her foot.
"Aoshi Shinomori! Why are you ignoring me," shouted Misao. "I've been travelling through time, searching for centuries trying to find you. And now that I've found you, you won't even look at me!"
Aoshi finally glanced upward at Misao and noticed how lovely she looked. She wore a white blouse with lace trimming. Her skirt was emerald green which matched her eye color. The front part of her skirt was split to reveal multiple petticoats underneath. Misao's hair was braided and wrapped circularly around her head forming a tight bun. Wisps of bangs and stray locks caressed her face.
"I can't believe my eyes. Misao looks so elegant and graceful. She doesn't look anything like the little pesky tomboy girl that follows me around in school all day."
Without a word, he stood and assisted her in sitting next to him.
Misao was taken back by his kind gesture.
"Hmmm.... Aoshi is really acting strange. Must be this 16th century outfit. I must admit, I do look great in it. I'm glad I borrowed it from that dress shop back in town. I'll return it before anyone notice that it is missing."
Misao blushed upon Aoshi's stare. "Uhm.... What are you working on Aoshi," she sweetly asked.
"In this century I'm known as Isaac Newton-Aoshi. And I'm working on the theory of gravity. So far, I have not yet been able to discover the cause of these properties of gravity from phenomena..... It is enough that gravity does really exist and acts according to the laws in the motions of the celestial moons and bodies.... I frame no hypotheses as of yet....."
"Oh.... I see. Well, you know what they say, 'what goes up, most come down,' ha, ha, ha!"
Aoshi arched his eyebrow at her and buried his head back into his research.
"Misao no baka!! Just when you get Aoshi to take you serious, you just have to open your big mouth and say something stupid. Hmm.... This may be my only chance to confess my feelings for him. I've got to think of something intelligent to say."
High into the tree, sat Yahiko and Tsubame. After hearing the voices below, Yahiko recognized them to belong to Aoshi and Misao. An evil grin grew on his face.
"Hey Tsubame, hand me that apple," whispered Yahiko.
"I think we should try to find a way down," Tsubame whispered back in response. "You can eat the apple later."
"I'm not going to eat it, I'm going to use it for something else."
Tsubame didn't understand what Yahiko meant, but she grabbed the apple that was nearest her hand and gave it to Yahiko.
Yahiko took the apple and aimed it for Misao's head, but the first one missed her. Misao glanced over to the fallen apple and thought nothing of it. Yahiko smirked before taking another apple and aiming it down toward Misao's head again. This time it contacted.
"Ouch," exclaimed Misao as she rubbed her head. "I didn't realize it was that windy. That's the second apple that fell from this tree."
She then heard snickering up in the tree. Misao glanced upward and found Yahiko with an apple in his hand. He threw it down toward her, "Take that you little weasel, ha! ha!"
Misao picked up some apples and began throwing them upward at Yahiko while shouting, "I'll get you monkey boy for ruining my perfect afternoon with Aoshi! Take that! And that!!"
"Here's more apples coming at you weasel girl!!"
Isaac Newton-Aoshi watched as apples were being thrown upward and falling down from the tree. He smiled and scribbled madly on his papers.
"The apples being thrown down by Yahiko seems to be accelerated by each throw. The velocity of the apple changes from zero as it is hangs on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by my own 2nd Law, there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. I'll call this force "acceleration of gravity", hmm.... maybe I'll shorten it to just "gravity."
Suddenly, an angry dress shop owner and farmer was rushing toward them.
"Hey you kids! Get off my property," hollered the farmer as he ran toward the apple tree.
"Thief!! Give back my dress," yelled the dress shop owner.
Yahiko, Tsubame, Aoshi and Misao all pressed their portable time machines and disappeared leaving the famer and dress shop owner standing with their mouths hanging open. Suddenly, a hand appeard out of thin air dropping a white lace blouse and emerald green skirt over the head of the dress maker.
"Thanks a lot mister! I loved wearing it," shouted Misao as her hand disappeared again. The farmer and dress maker looked at each other and fainted.
In another century, an unconscious Sano lie on the ground.
"Sano, Sano, are you alright?"
Sano slowly began to regain consciousness. "Katsu? Wh.... where am I? and... Why are you dress like that?"
"We're in the 17th century, well 1752 to be exact. And in this time period, I'm known as Benjamin Franklin-Katsu."
"Oh.... So, why are you here?"
"Principal Saitoh sent me."
"What does that moron prinicipal want?"
"He sent me to tell you that you're getting a months detention...."
"Yeah, I figured that."
"... and that he's holding your Future Trunks DBZ trading card until you return."
"What!!! You know how much trading I had to do to get that card!"
"Calm down, you'll wake the neighbors," said Benjamin Franklin-Katsu.
"Yeah, yeah whatever," he mumured while standing up.
"So, what have you been up to since I last seen you?"
"Ah... me and Megumi was traveling around through time. It's been pretty cool checking out historical events," smiled Sano. "I never knew history could be fun."
"Well, the history test I had to take yesterday was pretty boring. So what did you and your girlfriend do while time traveling?"
"Erm.... let's see," he said while scratching his spiky hair. "After leaving the 11th century, we landed up in Egypt. I was Mark Antony and she was Cleopatra. I must admit, the fox looked really sexy in all that fine silk she wore. We had a great time."
"So where is she now?"
"I don't know, we split up. She got on my nerves constantly trying to take over my country and flirting with Julius Ceaser-Kenshin. I told her if she didn't stop messing around, I was going to leave. So I did."
"Do you think that was wise leaving your girlfriend with Julius Ceasar-Kenshin?"
"Yeah, it was okay. After I left, I caught up with jou-chan during my time travel. I told her where Julius Ceaser-Kenshin was and who he was with."
"What happened?"
"Jou-chan got there right before Julius Ceasar-Kenshin was going to be assasinated. She beat up the assasins and then whacked the Kenshin part of Julius Ceaser, clear out of that century into the next."
They both laughed hard. Suddenly the wind began to shift causing the trees to shake its leaves all around them.
"Hey, it looks like a storm is brewing. We better head for get back to time travelling."
"We can't, I have an experiment I must do," replied Benjamin Franklin-Katsu. "Wait here," he shouted over the high winds as he rushed toward his store house. "I have to get something."
Sano scratched his head mouthing, "What's that idiot up to now?"
Benjamin Franklin-Katsu came back with a kite in his hand with a key attached to it.
"Are you crazy! There's a freaking storm heading this way and you want to fly a kite?"
Benjamin Franklin-Katsu couldn't hear Sano over the large gust of wind. The kite began to fly upward almost out of control.
"Hey Sano! Help me hold the kite," yelled Benjamin Franklin-Katsu.
The moment Sano took hold of the kite, lightening struck sending an electrical charge through both of them.
"Owwwww!!!!!"
Benjamin Franklin-Katsu and Sano both stared at each other as they slowly sat up. Both young teenagers had their hair standing on end. They both laughed out loud.
"You always was an idiot," chuckled Sano
"I've learned from the best," smiled Benjamin Franklin-Katsu. "Let's get out of this time period and go back home."
They both used their portable time machines and disappeared into another time period.
It was now the year 1876. Alexander Graham Bell-Aoshi was working on several inventions.
"You've been busy all day. Which invention are you working on now," asked Thomas Watson-Kenshin.
"The 'harmonic telegraph'. I believe that it can transmit recognizable voice-like human sounds."
"But would it be better to use the knowledge you have of Alexander Graham Bell to help us get back to the future?"
"We can get back to the future later," he replied. "I'm more curious as to how these inventions came to be. Now please go into the next room so that I may run more tests on my latest transmitter."
"Oro... more tests," sighed Thomas Watson-Kenshin. He was worried about Kaoru.
"I hope she is okay. But at least I know she has feelings for me. She was really angry once she found out Cleopatra-Megumi was flirting with me. I guess Leofric was right, she is really cute when she gets angry. Ahhh..... my sweet Kaoru."
As Thomas Watson-Kenshin stood in the next room waiting for the test to begin, Alexander Graham Bell-Aoshi was working with several things when he accidently spilled acid from a batter on his clothing.
"Mr. Watson-Kenshi, come here. I want you."
Thomas Watson-Kenshin looked at the strange transmitter, "Oro? Did I just hear a voice coming out of this thing?"
He then rushed in the room.
"What do you want?"
"You told me to come in here," explained Thomas Watson-Kenshin. "What happened to your clothes?"
"Never mind my clothes, I've just discovered the telephone," beamed Alexander Graham Bell-Aoshi.
"Hey, I don't feel the presences of Thomas A. Watson any more," remarked Kenshin.
"That's because we have successfully performed the experiment," stated Aoshi. "It was an enlightening experienced. I only wished....."
Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by the ring of the telephone. (ring! ring! ring!) The two young teenagers looked at each other.
"Go ahead and answer it," urged Kenshin. "After all, you did help Alexander Graham Bell invent it."
Aoshi slowly picked up the phone.
"Hello....."
"Aoshi!! It's me Misao! I'm so glad to find you! I'm calling from my cell phone. Someone told me that you were in the 17th century somewhere. I'm on my way to meet you. I want us to travel back to the time of the great lover's Romeo and Juliet. It sounds soooo romantic..... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.... So how does that sound? I know you're probably as excited as I am. Now you stay right there, I'm on my way to get you."
Aoshi hung up the phone.
Kenshin arched his eyebrow asking, "So, who was it?"
"Wrong number," said Aoshi. "I think it's best we move on."
Aoshi and Kenshin adjusted their portable time machines and disappeared.
Misao finally arrived at the spot Kenshin and Aoshi were standing.
"Aoshi? Aoshi?"
Misao put her hand to her chin.
"Hmm..... I wonder where he could be?"
