A/N: Ok. The last four chapters were kind of short, so I'm going to make an
attempt at LONGER CHAPTERS! ^_^ This is my first fan fiction and I wasn't
trying really hard because I didn't think I'd get good reviews.
Apparently, I was wrong. THANKS! Now for a decent length chapter!
Disclaimer: Well. We need the disclaimer before the long chapter, but that's beside the point. ..You know what? I don't even WANT to own Kenshin! Sure, call me crazy for not wanting to. My point is that I don't even want that much money. I don't want to own something so popular that there are thousands of fan fictions with thousands of different ideas..on second thought, that would be cool. ^_^ LOL Now for chapter five. Enjoy

Chapter 5: Sobering up yet?
Sanosuke regained consciousness as soon as the first raindrop hit his face. He could here Kenshin giggling in the distance.
"Oi, Kenshin." He said, laying his hand on his face. "You've lost it."
Kenshin, still dancing in the rain, hadn't noticed Kaoru run off. He even forgot she was there.
"I see butterflies dancing in the sky! They developed cancer, and I know why!" Kenshin began singing. "Shoot a star with a toilet hammer! Send my chimp to the world of glamour! Wish for me a dark new seashell! Send to him a brand named ski smell!"
Sano stood up abruptly, and then saw the world change directions.
"Woah!" Sano yelled as the ground turned. He managed to keep his balance, but was swinging his arms around to do so.
Kenshin ran into the same alleyway Sano was in, still singing at the top of his voice.
"Bring the water to the book! Give me the day of Captain Hook!"
He stopped suddenly when he saw Sano flailing his arms to keep balance. Kenshin was highly amused at Sanosuke's attempt to stand upright.
Kenshin chuckled, and then screamed, suddenly remembering something. "Where's Leprosy!? Sanosuke, do you have Leprosy!?"
Sano, startled by Kenshin's screaming, fell back to the ground, head still spinning. "What kind of question is that?" he asked weakly. "Of course I have lunacy."
Kenshin's expression went blank as he fell face-first to the ground. Sano had his hands planted on his face, and Kenshin was singing in the mud.
"MMPPHH MPPHHH MPH MMMPPHHH" Kenshin mumbled into the ground.
"Kenshin, I hear explosions." Sano attempted to bring to Kenshin's attention. "What do you think is going on?"
Kenshin stopped singing and became motionless.
It turned out the explosions were the footsteps of Yahiko and Kaoru walking towards them. Sanosuke's hearing had been amplified, causing the footsteps to sound like explosions.
"Kenshin!" Yahiko yelled at him. "How could you do this?"
Sanosuke groaned at Yahiko's extremely loud voice.
Kenshin attempted to pull his head out of the dirt, but without success.
Kaoru pulled Kenshin off of the ground by his hair. "You're coming back to the dojo right now!"
"Hey! What about me?" Sano called out. "I can't move!"
"Sanosuke!" Kaoru yelled once again. "You too?!"
"I WAS drunk." He said. "But now I'm just dizzy."
Yahiko walked over to Sanosuke and pulled him to his feet. "What did you do to Kenshin?" he asked, perturbed at the whole incident.
"I gave him a good time." Sano stated, laughing. "Didn't you hear him singing?"
Koaru dragged Kenshin, with his arm over her shoulder, to the dojo while Yahiko and Sanosuke argued.
"I can't believe I have to carry YOU to the dojo. The first time I met you, I was the one being carried." She complained, yet with a smile on her face. Memories of the day she met him flooded into her mind. Suddenly, she realized something. "BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT!" she yelled, dropping Kenshin back into the mud. "WE WERE BOTH SOBER!"
After Kenshin and Sanosuke were safely back at the Kamiya dojo, Sano explained the whole thing.
"Well. Kenshin wanted to celebrate the victory, but I told him to be careful how much sake he had. He wouldn't listen. He kept drinking and drinking. After my first cup, I insisted we go back to the dojo, because he had too much to drink. THEN HE FORCED SAKE DOWN MY THROAT!" He looked very serious. "I was forced to drag him back here to the dojo before he did anything else stupid. I'm glad I was able to do it."
Kaoru and Yahiko stared at Sanosuke, angry and confused.
"WE BROUGHT YOU BACK TO THE DOJO!" Yahiko yelled, causing Kenshin to shift in the futon. "Besides, stuffing sake down a person's throat sound like something you would do! Kenshin isn't like that!"
"Oi!" Sano yelled, causing Kenshin to groan in his sleep. "I'm just telling you what I remember!"
"We need to let Kenshin get some sleep." Kaoru mentioned. "We'll discuss this tomorrow."
"Fine." Yahiko growled, standing up. "If you don't tell us what happened tomorrow, you'll be sorry." Yahiko chuckled evilly, then left the room and headed to bed.
"You know," Kaoru said quietly. "Kenshin has never been like this before. It frightens me to see him in this state."
"Ah, don't worry, missy." Sano reassured her. "He'll be fine. Just give him until the morning and he'll be fine."
The next morning, Sanosuke found Kenshin in front of the dojo wobbling around yelling, "Shishio has found the new sling shot of Miroku!"
"OH NO." Sano said, laying his hand on his face once again. "He's not any better than last night!"
Kenshin looked over at Sano and tilted his head to the side. The sides of his mouth quivered, and then rose into a smirk. "Battousai remarks are welcome whenever you're at the new location for lost forks!" he yelled.
Sanosuke thought Kenshin was hopeless.
"Sano, I'm sorry about last night." Kenshin finally said.
"OH! So you ARE sober!" Sanosuke yelled, happy to hear Kenshin speak sense again.
Kenshin hadn't heard Sano speak. "I'm sorry I told Sir Omelet about your growth defect."
Kenshin fell to the ground once again, making a loud thump.

A/N: Ok, that WAS longer, but not as long as I would like. I will make the coming chapters longer unless asked to keep this length. This one is about 1000 words long. I'll try for 1500 next time. ^_^ Keep checking back and it'll be up soon. ^_^
