Chapter 2: Finding Out
"We can't find Uncle Kenny anywhere!" shouted Ayame as she ran up to Kaoru and Yahiko who were currently engaging in one of their-so-called-normal fights. Sano (or Sanosuke I perfer the shortened version ) looked up saw Sazume followed close behind Ayame and chewed on his fish bone. "Nowhere! Uncle Kenny no find, nowhere!" said Suzume as she waved her arms around. Sano looked up into the sky, clouds were starting to crowd together and the rain would come soon. "How long have you two been looking?" asked Sano as he felt a drop of rain hit his eye.
"Forever!" said Ayame.
"Forever!" copied Sazume.
"We should start heading in." said Kaoru, looking at the sky, then the dojo, heading back. That's when they heard a familiar "Dayiayiayiaia" sound. Sano's fish bone immediately dropped out of his mouth, and as it did, Yahiko said, "That sounded like Kenshin!" The gang started to run into the dojo and opened up a the room where you could usually find Kenshin.
The dojo room itself. Kaoru threw back the door. "Ken--shin?" she said, as she saw Kenshin face first on the floor, eyes swirly, with Megumi standing over him...rather her with her bag. "I caught this woman in the dojo, walking back in forth in Kenshin's clothes!" shouted Megumi.
Kaoru sweatdropped. "But Megumi, that IS Kenshin..." Megumi rolled Kenshin over. "How do you explain these, huh?" she asked, pointing to Kenshin's chest. "No man can grow boobs, Kaoru, you know that as well as I do. Unless...I should examine him futher...and we've mistaken him for a he all of long, which--" Megumi was cut off short by an "AHEM!" from Sano, pointing to Sazume and Ayame. "Oh... Uh..." Kaoru gave Yahiko a nudge. "Go take them outside."
Yahiko glared at Kaoru. "Why can't I stay, busu?!" he yelled. "BECAUSE I SAID SO!" and with that, she and Yahiko engaged in yet another fight, as the door shut behind them, and the swirly eyed Kenshin was still on the floor.
Sano and Megumi were the only ones left in the room as Sano picked Kenshin up, pulling him over his shoulder, and lugging him back into a spare room, where he dropped Kenshin onto the futon and Megumi set to work observing him. "Well I don't really see anything wrong with him..." said Megumi putting some of her complicated tools away. "I say we let him rest for the remainder of the day."
Kenshin's eyes slowly opened as he sat up and blinked, looking at Sano then Megumi. "Megumi-dono? Sano?" he said.
Megumi smiled and said, "Thats about it." As she looked at Sanosuke who nodded and stood up, rubbing his chin.
"Oro? Sessha is confused, what are you talking about, Megumi-dono?"
Megumi looked at the innocent cute Kenshin.
(A/N: :drool: He's so cute! Kenshin: O..oro??)
She started by taking a deep breath and asking, "Kenshin, did anything happen to you last night?"
"Last night? Sessha does not recall--" Then it hit Kenshin. The two girls he had remembered from last night. That dust they had sprinkled on him. It was all making sense now. The two girls, they had put that dust on him and now that dust was doing this too him. He looked at Megumi who was waiting inquistively for his answer.
"Last night, while sessha was sleeping, two girls had disturbed sessha's sleep, de gazoru yo."
Megumi looked at Sano who blinked and shrugged. "Go on." said Megumi, blinking as she looked at Kenshin.
Kenshin nodded. "Well, they sprinkled some dust on sessha and sessha had no idea what it was."
Megumi suddenly stood up. "Dust, you say?" she asked.
Kenshin nodded once again. "Sessha speaks of what sessha knows, Megumi-dono, de gazoru yo."
Sano looked at Kenshin. "Well I guess the dust turns you into a girl then?" he asked.
Megumi put her hands to her hips. "Not exactly. Kenshin is the 5th attack this month. First it was this teeange boy, then 3 other males, and finally, Kenshin. They turn you into the opposite sex." said Megumi.
Kenshin blinked. "Oro?"
Megumi clinched her fists. "All I know is that they're two 14-year-old girls. Tama and Ayako. They go around at night spreading this magical dust on people for what the call "Fun" and then the person goes through a transformation into that of the opposite sex goes through what they go through. Kenshin, looks like your and in for quite a ride."
"O...Oro?!" exclaimed Kenshin.
"You mean to tell me that Kenshin here...is a girl!?" said Sanosuke as he stood up.
"Sessha is a girl, Megumi-dono?" asked Kenshin.
Megumi looked at Kenshin who was currently lying up in the futon. "I would say so. Unless we capture the two girls they'll remain at large to torture the rest of Tokyo. The police have already sent out a watch to try and find them." Megumi sighed. "Think you can handle being a girl Kenshin?" she asked.
Kenshin stood up and said, "Sessha has been through much worse. Sessha will be able to manage, de gazoru yo."
Megumi pushed Kenshin back down before he could even get any more than an "Oro?" out.
"Your on bed rest until today...I will tell Kaoru and Yahiko the news."
Kenshin watched as Megumi left and he...rather she, was left with Sanosuke. "A girl, eh?" said Sanosuke, eyes closed as he rubbed his chin. "Never thought I'd see the day when I would see the Hitokiri Battousai get turned into a girl by two girls...odd...yes, very odd."
But before Sano could ask Kenshin anything, the poor little rorouni had already passed out from the lack of understanding what was going on.
"Eh heh heh...better go see how Megumi's breaking the news to Jo-chan and Yahiko."
"A WHAT!?" As Megumi and Sanosuke had predicted, they knew Kaoru would react like this. On the other hand, Yahiko was laughing his ass off, thinking of Kenshin as a woman was actually more funny than he had imagened.
As he wiped away his tears he looked at Megumi. "But...but is h-he?" he asked.
Megumi sat down, tucking her feet underneath her. "Well...as you may have heard, there have been a series of attacks in Tokyo lately by two girls who are sort of like this little gang named Oni. They go by the names Tama and Ayako. They go around Japan spreading this blue sort of fairy dust on their victims which turn them into the opposite sex. All of the victims have been teenage males and men in their 20's...Kenshin is the second oldest. The last victim was 29."
Megumi wiped a bead of sweat off her face and sighed. "We can't do anything unless the girls are found."
Kaoru blinked. "So you mean...Kenshin is stuck like a girl...FOREVER!?"
Yahiko rolled his eyes. "You baka busu! Weren't you listening!? She said, unless--OW!"
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" shouted Kaoru. Sanosuke sweatdropped as the two continued to fight, as he looked off into the night sky, as Kenshin slept on with no idea what was in store for him tomorrow...
