A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews! I feel so happy! Hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it! Kenshin acts a little stupid in here, so don't mind him!

A little too much sake

Chapter 3

You're under arrest

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

"I'll race you back to the dojo!" said Kaoru, she then took off running, stumbling a bit, but she kept on going. People were beginning to stare again. Kenshin stared after her for a bit before taking off to catch up with her.

He did not want to cheat by using his god-like speed, so he let Kaoru stay ahead. He looked up to the sky, realizing that it was almost nighttime. He looked up ahead and the both of them could see the dojo gates coming into view.

Kaoru did not slow down when they were a foot away from the gates. Instead, she just wept on running, seeming as though she didn't see the gate. [A/N: Remember, this due to her drunken state! ^^]

"Wee!" she exclaimed, as she busted into the gate. Kenshin sweat dropped, and was beside her sprawled out form faster than you could say ' Wee-ness!'

"Kaoru-dono, are you all right? You should watch where you're going, that you should." Kenshin said, gently picking up her gelly-like form off the floor, and into his arms. [A/N: Strong arms, may I add! ~_^] He set her down onto the porch, where she was daydreaming, and Kenshin was locking the gates. He was about to go to his room to change out of Kaoru's kimono, when there were suddenly loud poundings on the door.

"Kenshin, I think that's *hiccup* Sano." Said Kaoru, straining her face to hear the voices over the pounding. Kenshin nodded in agreement, quickly unlocking the gate, wondering if it was an emergency.

When Kenshin opened the door, in flew Sano and Yahiko. Sano began frantically looking for something, turning his head from side to side. When he saw Kenshin, he fell to the floor, laughing his head off, and clutching his aching stomach. Yahiko came up to Kenshin and started poking at Kenshin's obi, and stifling his laughter.

"Who's your friend, Jou-chan? She's a looker!" teased Sano, as he pulled himself off the ground. Suddenly, there were very loud and numerous knocks coming from the dojo gates.

"Do not try to resist, we have you surrounded!" yelled someone on the other side of the gate.

"What'd you do now, Sano?" said Kaoru, immediately blaming him.

"What?! I've done nothing illegal today!..Well, maybe just gambling, but that's it!" Sano said, crossing his heart and hoping to die.

"Hurry! Go hide in the storage room!" Kaoru whispered, pointing to the left, where the storage room was. Sano fled in a snap. Then the dojo gates busted open, and in swarmed many policemen. They all circled Kenshin, (and pushed Kaoru and Yahiko out of the way) and had their guns drawled and pointed at Kenshin.

"Oro? Why are you after me? If you are looking for Sanoskue Sagara, he is in the storage room, that he is." Said Kenshin, gesturing with his hands where the storage room was. [A/N: ::sigh::, Kenshin couldn't lie even if his life depended on it. That's how sweet he is! ^^]

"Silence! Anything said or done can and will be used against you!" said one of the policemen. The policemen suddenly put their guns to their sides, and started saluting at someone at the broken dojo gate. The scent of cigarette smoke filled Kenshin, Kaoru, and Yahiko's nostrils. As expected, in came Saitou, smoking his cigarette, with a smug look on his wolfish features. Sano came rushing out of the storage room, and smacked Kenshin upside his head.

"Some friend you are!" he said. He then turned to Saitou, and started shaking his fist in the air. "Come on, let's fight!" He then began punching an imaginary opponent.

Saitou snapped his fingers, and all the policemen responded by pulling out their guns and pointed them at Kenshin and Sano.

"Whoa, whoa, how 'bout another time then?" said Sano, waving his palms in the air.

Saitou ignored Sano and walked to Kenshin, but not before crushing his cigarette under his foot. He then stared at Kenshin, for what felt like an eternity, until he finally spoke, "There have been reports today, of a red-haired man dressing op as a woman," he then eyed Kenshin's kimono. "Did you find a new hobby, Battousai?" he asked mockingly.

No I did not. Have you checked everywhere?" Kenshin asked back.

"Don't play stupid, moron. It's illegal to be cross-dressing in public." Saitou said flatly. "Battousai, you are now under arrest for breaking the law. Take him-"

"NO!" yelled Kaoru, running up to Kenshin and throwing her arms around his neck. "It's my fault! Don't take him, take me instead!" she said, a bit too dramatically.

"If it's your fault, then we'll take the both of you with us." Saitou said, seeming as though he didn't give a sh*t, which he doesn't.

"Please, let her stay, I'll go with you." Kenshin pleaded, pulling Kaoru behind him.

"And if I don't?" Saitou asked.

Kenshin went silent for awhile, seeming as though he was in deep thought. "Let me stay instead." Kenshin answered. All the policemen sweat dropped . Even Saitou had a tiny droplet of sweat on his head.

"Go ahead, take him away." Said Kaoru, angrily shoving Kenshin to the police, watching as he they tied his hands and gagged his mouth so he would be quiet. She balled her hands into a fist, wanting to teach Kenshin a lesson. She chuckled a little as Kenshin tried to escape the police and crawl towards her, which was futile.

When all the policemen left, she decided she needed more sake to vent out her anger, and she needed to prepare for Kenshin's punishment when he gets home. [A/N:wink::wink! Hee hee!]
