Too much sake

Chapter 4

A fun time in jail

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~

Kenshin woke up to the feeling of someone poking him rather roughly on the head. He groaned in pain from his headache. He slowly got up and opened his eyes and looked at the man that was poking him. The man had gray hair, with a really long beard that reached his belly button, and was dressed in old rags. Kenshin looked around at his surroundings. There were 3 walls and I gate. 'That means.. I'm in jail?' Kenshin thought. Then everything came flooding back to him. 'Orororo, I hit on Kaoru-dono! Orororo.' he thought. The man looked at him real funny, because Kenshin was just sitting there oro-ing.

"Dude, are you okay? And what the hell does 'oro' mean?"

"Oro? I don't know what you're talking about, that I do not." Kenshin answered.

"Why are you wearing a pink gi?" the man asked.

"Ano, because it reminds me of peace, that it does." Kenshin answered, bewildered by that question.

"Peace? So, are you the love and peace kind of guy?"

"Oro? I guess you could put it that way, that you could."

"Why do you have long hair?"

"Oro, why are you asking all these questions?"

"Just answer them, damnit!"

"Ummmm... Because I don't think I would look good with short hair."

"Why do you wear purple socks?"

"Because they also remind me of peace and also matches with my gi, that it does." Kenshin answered, thinking the man has too much curiosity.

"What's up with the 'that it does' crap?"

"It's polite, that it is."

"Are you a girl?"

"No, I am a man, that I am" Kenshin answered, getting annoyed about the questions and comments about his sex.

"What kind of idiotic word is oro?"

"Oro? I do not know, that I do not."

"What the hell does oro mean" The man demanded, getting impatient.

"It means I do not know, that it does." {A/N: The man thinks oro means- I do not know, when Kenshin is just telling the man he does not know.}

"Okay, so, are you gay?"

"ORO! NO! What makes you think that?"

"Well, let's see.. You have long hair, you wear a pink gi and purple socks, you have a thing for love and peace, you say oro a lot, and you are polite to a gangster. I would say that's pretty gay, wouldn't you?" the man answered, ticking up a finger each time.

"NO! You should not judge a person by their outside appearance, but by the inside, that you should."

"Don't tell me what I should do!"

"I'm not, I was just giving advice, that I was." Kenshin said waving his hands in front of him.

"Why are you in here?" The ever-persistent man asked.

"Umm, I believe I passed out somewhere due to too much sake, that I did. If I may ask, what are you in here for?"

"I hit on some Kenjutsu teacher that was a girl, and she sent me to jail."

"Oro? Did she have blue eyes, with raven hair tied up in a high ponytail?"

"Yeah, you know her?"

"Hai, I live with her, that I do." Kenshin answered, a bit ticked off that an old man hit on her, although, he himself hit on her not so long ago.

Then they heard footsteps coming. The both of them went to the gate to see who it was. Kenshin's eyes sparkled as he saw that it was Kaoru and Saitou.

"Miss me?" Kaoru asked while Saitou took out his keys.

"Hey, it's the girl I hit on the other day!" said the old man. Kaoru only lifted a delicate eyebrow at him.

"Good Morning." Kaoru said taking a look at Kenshin's messed up hair, while Saitou was fiddling with the lock.

"Looks like the gay man got himself a girl." The old man butted in.

"Shut up ahou, let's go Battousai." Saitou said as he opened the gate, shoved Kenshin out then lock the gate.

"Ba-battousai!" The old man exclaimed unbelievingly.

"Oro!" Kenshin exclaimed as he hit the floor. He got up and looked at Kaoru, who had her back facing him.

"Kaoru-dono.." Kenshin said, not sure if she'll be happy or mad to see him.

Kaoru slowly turned around and shoved her purse into his hands, then punched him across the face." Sweetie?!" she said, then punched him across the face again, "Baby?!" She then grabbed a fistful of his hair and started shaking him. "And you speak Chinese good, too! Better behave!" "ORORORORORORORORORORORORORORORooooooooooooooooo "

~30 minutes later at the Akebeko~

Kaoru's sitting across from a black-eyed and disarrayed Kenshin, watching as he ate a beef pot.

"Is it good?" She asked, resting the heel of her hand on the side of her cheek.

"Hai, it's very good." Said Kenshin, smiling and showing his swollen lip and missing his teeth. Kaoru smiled sweetly at him.

"So did you learn anything today" she asked.

"Hai, I did." He answered. '1-Don't play drinking games. 2-Don't leave home while drunk. 3-Don't hit on merchants. 4-Don't hit on Kenjutsu teachers. 5-Don't drink sake when all this is over.' He thought bitterly.

Kaoru just smiled at his answer and how handsome he was even after a brutal beating. "Good, I'm glad you did."

Kenshin just smiled back.

~2 weeks later~

Kaoru was practicing in the dojo, when a figure shadowed over her. She looked up at Sano, who was holding about thirty cases of sake.

"SANO-WH-"

"Shhhh! Wanna play a drinking game?" he asked.

THE END

PLEASE REVIEW!!

Should I make a continuum to this story where Kaoru gets drunk? Hmmm. I dunno yet. Give me what you think I should do and put it in my review! I can't decide, so I'll let you!

Thank you so much Moogle-sama, Antifuz, and DDG! You guys really inspire me! You're the best friends anyone could ask for!

To all my supporters, thank you for reading until the last chapter (and maybe a continuum)

Love, Cutie-chan-XD3
