Author's note- the last chapter. This one's going to have less ooc-ness…I'm more sane now that school's started *nod, nod*.
Act Five: The Great Escape
Megumi- You're alright now, Sir Ken, right?
Kenshin- *nod, nod*
Sanosuke- Great! So Kenshin…*shoves Kenshin in direction opposite of Kaoru* You up for escaping?
Kenshin- Where to?
Sanosuke- Preferably the dojo, but really any place with a door.
Kenshin- Wouldn't Miss Kaoru be upset if we left her here to finish the show by herself?
Sanosuke-…she'll get over it. So are you in or out? Yahiko's already agreed to it.
Kenshin- I don't know…
Kaoru- Come on guys! Next we're doing juggling with torches!
Kenshin- How soon can we leave?
Sanosuke- Yahiko's going to create a diversion while we sneak out first. He'll meet us by the vegetable cart a few yards down.
**************
Yahiko- Hey ugly!
Kaoru- WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!
Yahiko- You heard me! I called you ugly!
Kaoru- Come here you little brat!
Yahiko- You gotta catch me you old lady! Or do you need a walking stick?
Kaoru- You're dead!!
*Yahiko and Kaoru running around stage (curtain closed)*
*************
Sanosuke- On the count of three. One, two, THREE!
*Kenshin and Sanosuke dart out of the tent and into the soft, crisp fresh air. And as the warm sunlight warms their hearts…*
Yahiko- RUN!! She's on to us- AAAAAAK! *Kaoru has him by the collar*
Kaoru- So you tried to bail, huh? Thought you could just walk out on me?!
Kenshin- *waving hands madly* No, Miss Kaoru, it's nothing like that!!
Sanosuke- We deserve a bathroom break!
Kaoru- The bathroom's in the back of the tent.
Sanosuke-…well I got hungry too!
Kaoru- THEY'RE HANDING OUT REFRESHMENTS!
Kenshin- No need to get angry, Miss-
Kaoru- Shut up Kenshin!
Kenshin- Yes ma'am. =_=
Kaoru- *shoving Kenshin and Sanosuke back to the tent* Now you are going to finish this show if I have to tie you up to do so!
*light bulb goes off (they have light bulbs in this era, right?)*
*********************
Megumi- Where were you four? The crowd's getting restless…
Crowd- WE WANT ENTERTAINMENT! WE WANT ENTERTAINMENT!
*curtain is rustling, Yahiko comes out from behind*
Yahiko- Come on Kaoru, the crowd's waiting!
Kaoru- Alright, alright, I'm coming out…*getting new kimono cause her old one's been ruined (remember fort tomato (not the alamo!!))*
*Kaoru steps out, trips on an almost invisible thread, falls into a carefully placed net that pulls her up as soon as she hits the ground*
Kaoru- What the- GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!
Sanosuke- My best plan yet! Now let's go before she chews her way out of the net.
Yahiko- That's fine with me! *pokes Kaoru through a gap in the net before sprinting off*
Kenshin- Should we really just leave her like this?
Kaoru- NO!
Sanosuke- Don't worry, she'll be fine.
*Kenshin shrugs, then runs off with Sanosuke close behind*
Kaoru- Megumi! PLEASE help me get down!!
Megumi- *hums to herself*
Kaoru- MEGUMI!!
Megumi- Huh? Are you talking to me?
Marimo- …o_o;
End of Act 5
Short and sweet. What shall happen to Kaoru? She gets down, of course (to the horror of three certain people…). Don't think I left anything else unanswered…
