~The Calm~

Kaoru was sick of this woman always trying to make her look bad and take away her Kenshin! She sighed, "What are you doing here?"

"Why to see Sir Ken of course!" Megumi wrapped a slender arm around Kenshin's collarbone. Catching him by surprise she began nuzzling his cheek. Kaoru was shocked, every time Miss Megumi did this, and every time she never failed in bringing Kaoru into a near homicidal rage.

"Why, you get your hands off my Kenshin right now!" Kaoru's words echoed through the dojo, waking Vincent up.

'Oh no! He can't find me holding him like this!" Yahiko was beginning to panic. He watched as his sleeping companion slowly stirred in his position. Somehow he knew he was being held and he liked it.

Vincent could feel someone holding him. He felt so relaxed and safe in this person's arms. He'd never been held like this before. There was also something else. The odour, which always seemed to entice him, was stronger then ever. Knowing full well he was still hurt, he cautiously sat up. As he raised his upper body, the arms, which held him so securely, slithered away releasing him.

Vincent (taking about a minute to sit up) looked around. He was still in the same room. He turned around and saw the other boy from earlier facing the other way fast asleep. Vincent began to blush. 'He wasn't holding me was he!?' His heart began to pump, faster and faster. He felt as if he couldn't move. Then he remembered why. He looked down, "My bandages are gone..." Vincent scratched his head. Then something suddenly dawned on him, 'Someone might see my back!' He grabbed the wall behind him and pushed himself up with his good arm. He was still in his jeans. 'Least they didn't take my pants...'

He pictured Kenshin slowly sliding off his pants, taking care not to hurt him. 'No! Dirty thoughts, dirty thoughts!!' Vincent shook his head. Slowly he walked outside, limping every time his right ankle touched the ground. He was half way into the next room, which lead to the courtyard, when he felt powerful hands holding his side. Vincent turned around and saw the other boy trying to help him. Slightly angered he shook off Yahiko's help. 'I don't need your help, I can do this myself!' His angry thoughts swarming in his head.

Yahiko smiled, Vincent's skin was so soft to the touch. He also liked the tan colour of his skin. Standing there he watched Vincent limp on. Tracing his back with his eyes, Yahiko saw Vincent's sharp shoulder blades moving in and out as he continued to try and walk. Then he saw it, an enormous scar that traveled from the middle of Vincent's neck down to the right side of his back, and continued strong into his pants. Yahiko gasped.

Vincent, startled by this noise, instantly knew two things. The first was that Yahiko had obviously seen his scar. The second, well, he was now falling flat onto his face. His eyes were closed as he felt the waves of pain racing through his chest and stomach. "Mmmmmmmm." He muffled himself from yelling.

Yahiko couldn't help but giggle at the other boy's sense of pride. "Looks like your getting my help even if you don't want it." Yahiko dashed over and stopped next to Vincent who was holding himself up by his elbows. Carefully, he helped Vincent get to his feet, and then walked with him outside. His hands placed on Vincent's collarbone, so he wouldn't hurt the poor boy, and could catch him if needed.

Vincent blushed, hoping Yahiko hadn't noticed. He honestly didn't mind two strong hands guiding him. Every time he took a step on his right foot though, he felt pain surge through his leg.

Ms. Megumi laughed while Kaoru yelled on about "her" Kenshin. She was actually in reality ignoring Kaoru and remembering a funny joke Sanosuke had told her a few days ago.

"Hey are you listening to me!?" Kaoru tried to grab Ms. Megumi's scrawny neck and squeeze her to death but Sanosuke stopped her keeping the women apart.

"Please ladies you shouldn't fight, that you shouldn't." Kenshin was trying his best not to get smacked around. Megumi looked up, past Kaoru. She saw two boys, one of them shirtless, walking to them. She got up completely ignoring Kaoru. She rushed over to the two, wondering if the English boy was hurt.

"Don't walk off on me! huh-?" Kaoru was yelling at Ms. Megumi but when she turned around she saw Sanosuke's face. "Are you trying to touch me!?" Kaoru retrieved her bokken and let loose a series of mighty blows that would rival even Kenshin Himura.

"Ow..." Sanosuke sat down and rubbed his head. Why? Why did she always hit him? Didn't she know it starts to hurt after the 17th time? 'I swear if she attacks me one more time it'll take Kenshin to stop me...' Sanosuke sighed.

After Sanosuke had sat down Kaoru saw Yahiko helping the other boy. He was limping and panting. Her hand dropped the bokken as she proceeded to their aid.

"Ms. Kaoru where are you going?" Kenshin tried to ease the mood.

"Look Kenshin." Kaoru pointed at the two boys now 5 feet in front of her.

'Wow, that boy sure has stamina.' Kenshin grabbed the dark blue shirt, which lay on the ground. It seemed someone might need it, and then he followed the girls.

Vincent didn't look up until they had gotten outside. It was a nice sunny day. And three people were coming to greet the two boys. 'Why are they coming over here? They might see my back...' he saw Kenshin running towards him with the dark blue shirt. 'My shirt!'

~*Intermission*~

Kaoru in a rocking chair: Welcome back to behind the sword! Today we will be examining Rurouni Kenshin, A series that quickly became popular in America in the new millennium.

Kaoru still in a rocking chair: Many people loved it for its swordplay and comedy, but did you really know what was going on behind the curtain?

*scene changes to a blackout spiky headed figure with a shadowy bandana dangling from its head*

Shadowy figure with a deep male voice: All the time, he always had some alcohol with him. Even on set he had his sword modified to hold some liquor! Whenever they would shoot a scene without Kenshin, or stop rolling for a few seconds he would take a swig. Around episode 8 it got pretty bad.

*Scene changes to episode 8*

Shadowy figure: This was what he was supposed to say, Kenshin holding up floor plating and blocking two darts: I do not understand the situation well, but I certainly can't stand by and watch people hurt others for fun.

*Scene changes to Kenshin holding up the plate but wobbling*

Shadowy figure: here's what he said... Kenshin: I do not understand the situation very well, but that there *points to Ms. Megumi in the corner* is a fine piece of ass! I wouldn't mind waking up next to you sweet thing *grabs her ass*

Kaoru again: The show went on hiatus until Kenshin could get out of rehab.

Announcer's voice: Next up.

*shows Kenshin*: After Yahiko got that deal with shell; he used at last 14 rolls of film sponsoring them!

Announcer's Voice: When we come back to, behind the sword!

Sanosuke: So that's what Shell is, a gas company...

~*End transmission*~

As soon as Kenshin was close enough, Vincent reached out and took his shirt from Kenshin's hand and put it on with much pain. "Are you sure you don't want some help with that?" Kenshin mock laughed.

"He can't understand you, he doesn't speak Japanese." Ms. Megumi said with a sigh. "I plan to teach him to read and write Japanese if we can't find anyone who knows him."

Kaoru gave Vincent a gentle smile. He just looked blankly into her eyes. 'I can't blame him, he's been through a lot.' Kaoru tried her best not to attack him with her bokken.

Ms. Megumi sat him down and began to explain everything they had found out, mainly about them believing he was from the future. She also told him, he could stay with them if he couldn't get back. Then she informed him that she would teach him Japanese and Miss Kaoru might even take him in as a student. Not surprisingly he looked sad. "I'm sorry I uhh...lied to you. I never for a moment stopped thinking I was somehow from the future. I guess I didn't know what to say." Vincent scratched his head with his good hand.

"Ill teach you to read, write and speak Japanese if you want." Ms Megumi gave him a beautiful smile only she could perform. Vincent responded with a smile of his own, not of the same quality though.

'Oh so he gives her a smile huh!?' Kaoru settled down.

Ms Megumi leaned back from sitting. "I've a feeling everything is going to be alright for everyone." She smiled once again.
