Disclaimer: I own this fic, but not the characters. Happy?

Well, technically I do own some, but.

Oh well

AN: You know how last week was a good week for me? This is not going to be a good week. My family is moving, so hope for the weekend. Hope.

Anywho.

Fear the Moose!

Misao squirmed slowly out of Aoshi's grasp. As much as she loved having his arm around her, she didn't exactly love the idea of him waking up.

Just a few more inches.

SNAP.

Damn those twigs. It's a conspiracy. She could have sworn.

Meanwhile, Aoshi's eye's had snapped open. He observed where he was, then calmly moved away from her, his expression unchanging.

"Squirrels?" He asked, still fighting with every inch of skin on his face to keep from blushing. Misao wasn't as lucky, her face one of the crimson colors that was becoming so common.

" Yeah." She said, her cheeks flushed.

'She looks cute like that.' Thought Aoshi.

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

After a large amount of stuttering, blushing, and mortification, both Kenshin and Kaoru had come out of that incident fairly unscarred.

Fairly.

It had been a day, but Kenshin's face still glowed a slight pink as he thought of how warm her lap had been.

In fact, he had even faked unconsciousness to stay there a little longer.

And then her fingers had gone through his hair.

Stop. Thinking. About. It!

As he snatched another apple from the tree, he heard a yelp from Kaoru's direction. With almost inhuman speed, he was sprinting towards it.

He was just in time to see Kaoru carried away.

By a moose.

It had snatched her up in her antlers, and was now speedily trotting away from the campground.

A moose. He was still in shock.

Actually, there had been a squirrel riding on its back.

Kaoru let out one more terrified and confused yelp before the moose and all of it's riders vanished into the forest.

He had to rescue her!

Now the only question was.

Where would he go if he was a moose?

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

Sanosuke was resolute to go through the whole day without looking at Megumi.

Because if he did.bad thoughts came.

He blushed a little.

VERY bad thoughts.

He proceeded to bang his head against the tree some more.

The images hadn't gone away yet, but he was sure that if he was persistant, it would go away soon.

And besides, it felt good when he stopped.

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

Megumi stared at Sanosuke's jacket.

She had gotten her clothes again, so she didn't really need it.

But then again, he hadn't come to claim it.

Probably too embarresed.

Boy, did she know that feeling.

It smelled like boy, in particular him.

She wondered if he used Ax.

Jimmy watched her, his little whiskers twitching.

She turned around slowely, until her face was only a foot away from Jimmy, who was on a branch.

Carefully, she edged an acorn closer to him. He took it, a distrusting look on his face, then scampered off.

Suddenly, Megumi realized that that squirrel was someone to fear.

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

Jimmy had an idea.

Now both of the humans were nice to him.

Still, he couldn't disobey orders, could he?

And theoretically, it would make them happier to be a couple.

And Jimmy had a very evil (or good, depending on what way you looked at it.)

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

Megumi and Sanosuke went to sleep, VERY far away from each other.

Too bad that would be changing soon, thought Jimmy.

He called the moose over. They wouldn't wake up, even when lifted, because of the drug Jimmy had shot into those apples.

Yes, Jimmy was a very talented squirrel.

He would follow them, of course. He wanted to be there to see their faces.

He rubbed to little paws together and smiled a demonic smile only squirrels can achieve.

AN: So I have a week to decide what I'm gonna do to them. Heh. This is gonna be UGLY.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
