Soon everyone rushed back to the dojo to see Kenshin sporting his new "goods" to the world.

"Hey, we heard some one scre . . . oh my Sir Ken!" Megumi said astonished, her hand reaching up to cover her gaping mouth.

Despite being the old man (and presumed to be a pervert like all other all old men), Doctor Gensai restrained his nosebleed as little Ayame and Suzume barraged him with a storm of questions.

"What's wrong with Uncle Ken?"

"Why does he look so funny?"

"What are THOSE?"

Oblivious to what was happening, the redhead in question finally looked down at himself in the direction where Ayame's little finger was pointing. Before realization could set in, his hands shot up to grasp these . . . newfound . . . appendages, as if he couldn't believe that they were really there and a bloodcurdling scream rang forth from the dojo, while Sano ran to the nearest closet to get to know himself better.

Manically Kenshin searched for a place to hide in his embarrassment and unknowingly, he ran to the closet that Sano was, and flung the door open. His jaw dropped to the floor at the sight he beheld. Sano screamed like a sissy and pushed Kenshin away from him, far, far away, and shut the closet door firmly. Unable to hide anywhere, Kenshin settled for the sheets of his futon and covered himself.

Meanwhile, the group of people gathered in front of his room, stared at him speechlessly, eyes bugging out, mouths open, unmoving, except for the occasional question or two from the little ones.

"Oh Sir Ken! Or should I say Miss Ken now?" Megumi was the first to recover from the shock and broke the silence.

"NO! This can't be! Kenshin CANNOT be a woman!" Kaoru yelled frantically, massaging her temples.

"Heheh, I always suspected Kenshin to be a woman." Yahiko chimed in, nosebleed somewhat under control now that Kenshin was covered up. "No wonder he looked prettier than Kaoru, with all those feminine curves and all . . . hmm . . . how DID he hide THOSE under his gi?" That earned him a much awaited smack in the back of the head from a seething Kaoru.

"Auntie Ken! Auntie Ken!" Ayame and Suzume jumped up and down with excessive exuberance (-_-').

"Umm, Miss Kaoru, do you think I could borrow some clothes of yours please?" Kenshin feebly asked hoping Kaoru wouldn't explode, and still trying to hide his brand spankin' new . . . err . . . load.

Kaoru only started at him angrily in response at a loss for words. Finally she decided. "Fine. But I want an explanation as to what the hell this fiasco is about afterwards."

Silence echoed around the room as Kenshin arose from his seat. The silence was broken when some weird noises were heard coming from the closet. Choosing for the better to ignore them, Kaoru grudgingly gestured for Kenshin to follow her to her room.

What kind of mess was this?! A big one, that's what it was. Was Kenshin a woman all along and had been deceiving her? No it couldn't be. Something must have happened to him that altered his anatomy. Kenshin wouldn't deceive them. More importantly, if Kenshin really was a woman then she and Kenshin had no chance!

Upon reaching her room, she pointed to a seat and Kenshin obediently sat himself down as she rummaged her drawers for something for him to wear. Kenshin let out a sigh, relieved to be stable once again and not walking. He couldn't walk properly; his balance was thrown off with his new form.

"Here, put these on." Kaoru flung a purple kimono in his direction without meeting his eyes. "Afterwards, I want you to explain to me exactly what the hell is going on!"

Kenshin's attempts at trying to put on the kimono were futile since his new figure was curvier than Kaoru ever hoped to be.

"Umm, Miss Kaoru, it doesn't close around this area." Kenshin said while pointing to his chest. "And it's too tight around this area", he continued, pointing to his hips.

Arrggh . . . Now she had to put up with this? Come on, she could put up with Kenshin being prettier and all, but bigger chested (is that even a word?! -_-)? She thought that was HER advantage! Not fair!

Refraining from biting that pretty head off, Kaoru walked towards Kenshin, examining him, and said calmly "Well then, sorry, nothing I can do about it." she turned to leave the room as Kenshin stared at her dumbfounded, "Well, you could go ask Miss Tae at the Akabeko for something . . ." She vanished from the doorway apparently pissed at something.

"Hmmm, Miss Kaoru sure seemed rather upset at something, that she did. I wonder what it was." Kenshin pondered to himself as he searched for something he could secure the opening to his gi with so that excessive flesh wouldn't be revealed. Unfortunately, he found nothing to help him in this situation. So he was made to just clutch his clothes tightly and he set out for the Akabeko in hopes of finding what he needed. He rushed out of the house, unintentionally showing off his cleavage to an unsuspecting Sanosuke who had just come out of the closet, making him run back in (poor Sano -_-').

In a few minutes, Kenshin arrived at the Akabeko, but not before being thoroughly embarrassed by the many perverts on the street, lewd remarks and a few slaps on the rear was of common. Thankfully since he ran almost with "god like speed of the Hiten Mitsurugi" no one probably recognized him.

When he arrived at the Akabeko, he heard a catchy tune being sung by Tae. However catchy it was, he didn't have the time to think about the song! He needed clothes! Soon! Wrapping his arms around himself so that Tae wouldn't suspect any changes in him, he greeted her with a sweet smile. "Good Morning Miss Tae."

"Oh hello there sweet thang. Gosh, it's a beautiful day isn't it?"

"That it is, by the way, would you happen to have any kimonos that I may borrow?" Kenshin said, scratching the back of his neck and smiling sheepishly, almost accidentally giving Tae a view of his chest. "I mean of course not for me, but for a cousin of mine who has come to stay over and her clothes were all ruined on her way . . . yeah, that they were." He said in a hurry, putting his arms back around himself.

"Sure, suga' muffin, anything for you." She answered while giving him a pair of flowery kimonos.

"By the way, Kenshin, why are you grabbing yourself like that?"

"Oh me . . . oh . . . it's just a bit cold don't you think?"

"Oh ok. Hope your cousin is doing well and hope these fit her. And give my regards to everyone at the dojo. That Kaoru's a doll."

Mumbling a 'thank you' Kenshin walked away as he heard Tae singing again.

"The best thing about being a woman, is the prerogative to have a little fun and . . ." And the words echoed in his head as he paced himself to get back to the dojo.

Roentgen Ray's (Rheyne) notes: Sheesh, took forever to update. And what a measly update it is. Well I do hope you've enjoyed so far and continue reading this. Some reviewers I noticed mentioned something about the plot . . . well much to everyone's surprise, there IS a plot and it's pretty much planned out. So don't fret over it. Just read and reviews are much appreciated.

Louie The Flying Shark's notes: Yes, reviews are appreciated. You'll have to wait a while though because there is a thing from hell called school which is bothering the hell out of us.
