A little too much sake

Chapter 4

Another fun time in jail

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

Kenshin was thrown into a cellar roughly. He picked himself up and took in his surroundings. In the corner was the old man from when he was here the last time he was in jail. The old man still looked the same, dressed in rags with his beard coming down to his belly button.

"So you're the legendary Hitokiri Battousai." The old man said, eyeing Kenshin's kimono.

Kenshin nearly groaned at seeing the old man again. "Was." Kenshin put in.

The old man got up and started circling around Kenshin, looking at every part of him. "You lied to me," The old man said, "You ARE gay."

"ORO!" Kenshin fell down K-style.

"I bet you're even wearing bandages!" The man then went up to Kenshin and pulled down the front part of Kenshin's kimono, trying to expose Kenshin's cleavage, but he didn't have any,::cough:: any ways, sure enough, there were bandages around his chest. The man then dropped Kenshin to the floor and sat down next to him.

"So, who was that girl that was here the last time you were here?" the man asked Kenshin.

"Why?" Kenshin asked back.

"I want to know, now you better answer it you gay mother f#$*er!" the man shouted back.

"Hai, hai. She's the woman I live with, that she is." Kenshin gave in, waving his hands in the air.

"Oh, so she's your wife." The man assumed.

"No, she is not." Yet, Kenshin mentally thought.

"Ah, so I still have a chance to get her to be mine!" the man laughed maniacally.

"She's my FIANCE!" Kenshin shouted over his laughing. The laughing immediately stopped.

"Who on earth would want to marry you?" the man asked.

"Kaoru-dono." Kenshin answered. 'I hope so' he thought.

The man started laughing all over again. "You really don't lie much, do you?" the man asked.

"What makes you think I'm lying?" Kenshin asked.

"You should just look at your face. No peace and love man would ever lie." The man answered. "So are you gay?" and now we're back to the asking of many questions.

"Oro?" 'Remind me to kill Sano.' Kenshin thought. If it weren't for him, Kaoru wouldn't have gotten drunk, and if Kaoru hadn't gotten drunk, he wouldn't have to wear a kimono, and if he hadn't worn a kimono, he wouldn't be here right now.

While Kenshin was being questioned, Kaoru was at home, planning on revenge for our poor little rurouni. [A/N: It's not what you think! Hee- Hee]

After two days of being questioned by an old man and locked in a cellar with him, Kenshin was finally able to leave jail. He began his way from the police station, trudging his way towards the dojo.

Kaoru stiffened when she heard Kenshin call 'I'm home' from the dojo gates. She set down her clothes she was washing and quickly went to Kenshin. "Welcome home Kenshin, how was your time in jail?"

"Not so fun, that it was, but I'm glad to be back." Kenshin answered. "I think I will go take bath right now. I have not bathed for two days, that I have not."

"I already prepared one for you! Please, take one soon Kenshin, you smell like rotten fish." Kaoru said.

"Arigato Kaoru-dono, sessha will take one right away." Kenshin than began to make his way to the bathhouse, ready to take off the really dirty kimono. When Kenshin finished taking off his clothes and all that other stuff, he went into the warm, a bit too warm, water.

When Kaoru heard the water splashing when Kenshin got in, she went to throw more wood into the fire that was making Kenshin's bath water warm. After throwing about ten logs of wood in, she stepped back to examine her work. The fire was raging up high to her head. She began to wonder why Kenshin had not come out yet. Then she began to panic. What if she had killed the poor rurouni? Then,

"KAORU-DONO!!!!" Kenshin screeched, bursting out of the bathhouse with red skin from the heat. Kaoru began blushing, seeing as how he was only wearing a towel around his waste, but she quickly shook her head to get rid of the bad thoughts. She marched up to Kenshin and grabbed a fistful of his hair.

"Mou, what was that all about the other day? 'Let me stay instead'? Trying to save your own butt, huh?" Kaoru asked.

"Iie, it wasn't like that Kaoru-dono, it was the only way-"

Kaoru began to shake his head with her fist. "Stop lying!" She then whacked him on his forehead. "I hope you have a great life ALONE!" she then marched off. Kenshin soon followed after. So after many beatings and explaining, Kaoru was no longer so mad at Kenshin. Kenshin then went to go do is beloved laundry.

Kaoru came out of her room after changing into a kimono, and snuck up behind Kenshin's bent over form.

"What are you doing Kaoru-dono?" Kenshin asked without even turning to look up to see who it was.

Kaoru was so shocked out of her wits that she tripped over her foot and toppled over Kenshin, making them both fall into the wash tub. Course, the sweet rurouni he is, took the most of the fall by being under Kaoru.

Kaoru stared at Kenshin for a bit, not knowing what to do. "A-ano, Kenshin.. I wanted to say I'm sorry for yelling at you today. I was the one who made you wear my kimono." Kaoru explained.

"That's alright, that it is Kaoru." Kenshin said.

No horrific? NO HORRIFIC? Kaoru felt her mind screaming. Kenshin gently brushed his lips against hers, which Kaoru replied by deepening the kiss, folding her hands into his hair.

So after about an hour of kissing, more like five minutes, They were interrupted by Yahiko, which made Kaoru chase him down. He just had to call her busu again. 'Remind me to thank Sano.' Kenshin thought happily. After everyone was calmed down, Kenshin and Kaoru confessed their love to one another. So now Kaoru was really Kenshin's fiancé. And yadda yadda yadda.

~ Two weeks later ~

Megumi was checking her patients' appointments when a shadow suddenly loomed over her. She looked up from her work to find Sano carrying about thirty cases of sake.

"SANO, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" Megumi demanded.

"Wanna play a sake game?" Sano asked.

So after much persuasion, Megumi finally agreed. When she was about to lift the cup to her lips, she stopped. She set her cup down and quickly took Sano's cup.

"Oi, what was that for?" Sano asked.

Megumi stuck a hand up to silence him. She then began sniffing his drink, and then she tasted it. "You watered this down." Megumi said flatly. Boy, was Sano in for it.

A/N- Like it? I got kinda lazy in this chapter, didn't feel like going into details. Plus, I really want to work on my other fic, 'In my heart'. You should check it out! How do you spell 'I'm home' and 'welcome home' in Japanese? I had a hard time trying to spell it, which I never found out how to spell. If you know, please tell me so I can correct myself! I'm most likely not going to make another sequel to this. ::sniffle::

PLEASE REVIEW!
