Shopping with Kenshin that has the- Chibi Virus!
Kaoru took Kenshin with her, in order to keep Yahiko from having a breakdown. Sighing, she walked down the road, hoping Kenshin wouldn't make any trouble.
"Kenshin, hold onto my hand, ok? I don't want you getting lost." He grabbed her hand, and the two mixed into the crowd together. Kaoru was desperately trying her hardest not to blush.
"Not the time to think about this! Kenshin's just a kid right now, and you're only holding hands with him so he won't get lost!" Eventually she got her emotions down as they got to the marketplace.
This being a marketplace, you're bound to run into some strange characters. The old man that stood in front of Kaoru was one of them.
The man was around his fifties, seeing as his hair was a dull grey color and wrinkles creased his forehead. He took her free hand and clasped it in his own. Then he asked Kaoru a much-unexpected question.
" Let me have your child!" The poor assistant master freaked, slapping him hard with her other hand with a shriek.
"HENTAI!"
But she soon realized what a mistake it was to let go of Kenshin's hand. She looked around, but never found the mischievous chibi in sight.
"Oh great! Look what you made me do, old man! I lost Kenshin!"
-At the Gambling Hall entrance-
Chibi-Kenshin wandered off to a place with lots of strange people and noises. All he knew was that Sano goes here for whatever reason. And since Miss Kaoru was playing with the old man, Sano might play with him. He spotted whom he was looking for, talking to two girls.
"Oh, you're so handsome, Sano." One said in a funny voice.
"Yeah, your muscles are so well built." The other agreed, placing a hand on his biceps.
Sano chewed on his fish bone while smirking. "Maybe you ladies can come over to my place some time."
"Sano!" Kenshin called, turning the three adults' attention to the chibi.
"Who's this?"
"Him? My brother." Sanosuke replied coolly. They bought it.
"Aww! What a cute little brother you have!" Kenshin ignored the girls and asked.
"Sano, can you play wit me?"
The ladies giggled at his accent, and Sano shrugged.
"Alright, sure. We'll play dice."
"Dise?"
"Yeah. Come on Kenshin, let's go get some money."
"Moneys!"
So the pair went into the gambling hall. The chibi realized that there was even more weird people and noises. There was even a strange smell that didn't fare well with his nose. He scrunched it up and continued walking by Sanosuke. They reached a table with a pair of dice spread out on it. The dealer raised an eyebrow at the chibi.
"Hey Sano, you know the rules. No kids."
"What? Can't I bring my good luck charm with me?"
The dealer shrugged it off and took bets. Sanosuke asked Kenshin.
"Hey Kenshin, what's it gonna be?"
Kenshin counted his fingers to see, and it came to 4 and 2. Lady luck must have also fell victim to Chibi-Kenshin because-
"Jackpot! Triple winnings to Sano!"
People reluctantly paid up, and Sano grinned like no tomorrow. Oh yes, Lady Luck was definitely on the chibi's side since this continued for about a half an hour. And fortunately, before the hall had to close down due to debt, Kenshin got bored.
Now, when a chibi gets bored, the first thing that pops up into their mind is to go find something else to entertain them. This rule overrides anything in their brain and triggers their more adventurous sides. So when Sano was busy counting how much money he was going to bet, Kenshin slipped away without any trouble at all.
"Alright, Kenshin! What're the magic numbers?" Sanosuke asked. When there was no reply, he looked down. Which was pointless because there was only an empty space.
"I am SO dead!"
The gambler gathered up his huge sum and scrambled around the place to find his "good luck charm".
-Inside the Gambling Hall with some semi-evil plotting men-
"I say we sneak up on him!" One said. Another man bopped him on the head.
"No good! Let's do the direct approach!" Their leader, who suspiciously looked like a part of the mafia, cut him off.
"We do it like businessmen first. If we can't get him that way, then do what you want."
This seemed to please the two of them, and let the boss do his work.
The leader approached Sanosuke, who was still looking for the lost chibi.
"Sir, I'd like to make a deal with you. I'm willing to pay you 3000 yen for the child you have."
This instantly caught Sano's attention, and he focused on the man. A white little figure appeared on his right shoulder, who had all white clothes and little angel wings on his back, which looked exactly like him.
"Now you know that's not nice, Sano. Selling your friend for a little bit of money."
A figure who also looked like him, with an entire black leather apparel, demon wings, and a pointy tail appeared on his left shoulder.
"A little bit? That's 3000 yen we're talking about! Imagine what we can get with that!"
"That doesn't matter! Besides, you can always use Kenshin to make even MORE money than 3000! Think about it!" The angel retorted.
"But that's 3000 yen we can get NOW!"
"Patience is a virtue. We can wait."
"Since when do angels have virtues, ringworm head?"
"That's it! Come here, you little pointy tailed freak! We're gonna settle this right now!"
With that, the angel flew over to the devil and both disappeared in a little cloud of smoke. Sano was jolted back to reality.
"Sorry, but I'm not interested."
The leader bowed his head and walked away. He met up with his two lackeys, and sat down.
"Do what you want. Just give me the kid."
-With Chibi-Kenshin-
Our favorite little guy was playing with what looked like slots. He put in a coin that he found on the ground and pulled the lever. The three pictures disappeared into a blur, and he pulled the lever again. The pictures stopped one at a time, forming the word "jackpot". A bunch of coins dropped from the bottom, and he took as many as he could. He stuffed them in his pockets and proceeded to the prize counter. Pretty jewelry pieces were displayed in glass cases. What caught the Kenshin's eye was a silver crescent moon pendent and chain.
"Can I get you anything?" The gruff man asked over the counter. Kenshin pointed to the necklace. He got it out of the case and put it on the counter.
"500 yen."
Kenshin shelled out enough, and got the pendent in return. He stuffed that into his pocket, next to the money. He walked off near the direction of the stage.
"He hee! Now's my chance!" The thug cackled silently, following Kenshin from the behind. After a minute of endlessly bumping into people, (Chibi- Kenshin could easily pass through due to his short form) he reached a dark spot to capture his prey.
"Perfect!" He lunged at the chibi, fully un-prepared for Kenshin to turn.
SMACK! Right into the wall! The poor guy slid onto the floor, luckily passed out before the real pain could get to him.
This signaled the second crony's turn. He took out a knife, and started to follow Kenshin around. Kenshin must have sensed this, as he turned around with a slight look of fear. He started running, making the man chase after him. The chibi bumped into someone, and fell on his butt.
"Oh? What do we have here?" The person bent down, revealing to be a lady with even less clothes the first two had on. She looked at Kenshin curiously.
"Bad man chase me!" He cried, tears welling up in his eyes. The lady melted and patted him on his head.
"Aww, it's alright. I won't let him get you."
The man came up, knife and all. She glared at him.
"And what do you think you're doing?" She spat. The man backed up.
"I want the kid."
'Well, you're not GETTING the kid! How dare you treat a harmless little boy that way! Don't you have any respect?"
He backed up some more, nervousness showing on his features.
"I, uh-"
"If you were to do that to MY kid, I would have RIPPED OUT YOUR EYES AND MAKE SURE YOU WON'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!"
This is when that saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" comes in. Apparently, this person must have known it because he was long gone afterwards.
Sanosuke came upon the scene due to the yelling. Realizing that Kenshin was with the lady, he stepped up.
"Is this your child?" She asked. He nodded.
'What are you thinking, taking a child to a place like this?!" She fumed. Sanosuke sweat dropped.
"Come on Kenshin, let's get outta here!" Kenshin and Sanosuke bolted out, scared of the woman inside. Of course, running out of the whole section was their idea, since they ended up in the marketplace.
"Kenshin! Thank goodness!" Kaoru cried, seeing the pair. She immediately caught sight of Sano's money, and glared.
"You took him to the gambling hall, didn't you?" Sanosuke sweat dropped, backing up a few steps. Before Kaoru could deliver any punishment, Kenshin stopped her.
"Miss Kaowu! Me gots you a pwesent!" He cheerfully declared. She bent down in curiosity.
"What did you get me?"
"This!" He pulled out the crescent moon pendent, and Kaoru fawned over it.
"It's so pretty, Oh, Kenshin, thank you so much!"
She gave him a hug, and dumped all her groceries on Sanosuke.
"Hey! What'd you give me all this to carry?"
"It's all because YOU took Kenshin to the gambling hall! Really Sano, I thought you would know better than that! Don't you know what could've happened to him there?"
They listened to her ravings all the way home. Chibi-Kenshin giggled.
"Miss Kaowu funny!"
