MoTaS: THE FLYING HAMSTER OF DOOM RAINS COCONUTS DOWN ON YOUR PITIFUL CITY!!!!

Kenshin: O__O Master?

MoTaS: Hmm? Oh sorry; just having a moment, you know?

Kenshin: Uh huh…

MoTaS: Anyways, last time: Akuma returns to his future family people to send them back to Kenshin and them for Christmas. And Ian has powers; that can't be good.

Kenshin: No one else even knows, that they don't.

MoTaS: Unfortunately, Yuki has not enjoyed my author notes, so I say this: Z#%^@&($$*^@  F$($^*($^*$^*($G!!!!!

Kenshin: O____O  *faints due so many expletives in one sentence*

MoTaS: I didn't think I said anything ~THAT~ bad. Oh well; and eventually, Yuki will pay a visit all of them. For now, enjoy the show.

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing that has the name Rurouni Kenshin in it; except for those stupid and crap-tastic episodes edited by Cartoon Network that I taped (I only own the copies on the tape!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Back in 19th century Japan; Kamiya Dojo, Tokyo*

At this point, everybody in the dojo had successfully decorated it, save for a Christmas tree, which Hiko had promised to bring down from his mountain. Misao and Aoshi were still enroute to the dojo and everyone else was already there. Too bad for our friends here that they don't know there future friends are coming; their only moments away!

Akuma: WE'RE HERE!!

*Here being downtown Las Vegas, Nevada! *

Karli: you said you were joking!!!

Akuma: Sorry; don't know what came over me.

Heather: I do! Your need to obsessively gamble!

Akuma: So? I'm a centuries old guy who'll live till long after you all die off; gotta do something!

Ian: Tokyo – Japan – 19th century – Kamiya Dojo – now, if you please.

Akuma: Fine; I just stop back later.

*Gone again*

*In 19th century Japan; for REAL this time*

Karli: Now we're talkin- where's Ian?

Ian: *two seconds later* right here.

Heather: Why the lag?

Ian: Don't know. *Inwardly smirks, remembering the training session*

~Training session~

Akuma: Now, concentrate. Breathe, and…. There. That's it.

Ian: That's it? Just breathe and listen to you talk; for five seconds?

Akuma: Yah; what'd you expect! A really long lecture on the meaning of life and hours of training?

Ian: Well, yah – sort of…

Akuma: Try to pull something out of somewhere and bring it here.

Ian: *concentrates*

Yuki: *magically appears* WTF! Ian? Why am I here?

Ian: Uh, internet?

Akuma: Good-bye!

Yuki: *gone*

Akuma: Told yah.

Ian: Cool. *Gone*

~end memory~

At that moment, Sano happened to be in the yard on break, when he heard familiar voices. Checking around the corner, he saw it was Ian, Karli, and Heather.

Sano: DUDES!!!

I, K, and H: SANO!

Sano: Hey! Kenshin; Yahiko; Kaoru! Look who's here!!!

K, K, and Y: *run out to see what is the noise about* DUDES!

I, K, and H: Dudes!

Kenshin: How'd you three get here?

Ian: Long story short – Wolf dude.

Sano: -_- You mean Saitou?

Karli: NO; Akuma dude!

Sano: Oh.

Kaoru: Why are you guys here?

Heather: We missed you guys. What about you.

Yahiko: Same here, Busu. *Gets knocked out by Heather*

Sano: Except for the brats last remark, he's right.

Kenshin: How has your year without us been?

Ian: Terrible; school is no fun without you guys. That and our annoying brother is back for the next couple of weeks.

Karli: Good thing we're here.

Heather: So, you're celebrating Christmas, eh? *Looking at all the décor on the dojo*

Kaoru: Oh, just hanging up a few ornaments here and there; Hiko's even bringing a tree when he gets here!

Sano: A FEW things?! More like a million things!!! We've been at it since yester- *cut off as Karli wields a giant coconut and hits his head with it*

Kaoru: Thanks.

Karli: Anytime. ^__^

Ian: Who else is gonna be here?

Kenshin: Besides shishou, Aoshi and Misao will be here as well.

Heather: Nice. Megumi too?

Kaoru: Unfortunately, she's out of town right now, and probably won't be back in time, so no.

They headed in side and continued to chat for the next half hour or so. Ian had his time with Kenshin, Sano, and Yahiko, while Karli and Heather had theirs with Kaoru. The guys took the kitchen, since Kenshin was preparing dinner, while the girls took her bedroom. Once more, our friends were together. But as still unbeknownst to them, more stuff was on the way. Akuma would be having a hand in this, as soon as he was done with his gambling cravings in Vegas, that is!

Akuma: Come on; SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

*Meanwhile…*

On the other side of town, our favorite cop Saitou was sitting at his desk inside the safety of his police station. It seemed that that nefarious squirrel was still stealing his cigs again, after the damned thing had stolen them while he slept, babysitting Himura. He always knew Battousai was mentally unstable. Smirking he lit up his last cig.

Saitou: DAMN! That was my last one! Insolent creature! I will defeat you if it's the last thing I do during my earthly life!!!

Sitting outside the window, the squirrel sat – pondering in it's own strange squirrelish manner how to swipe Saitou's cigs. Just for fun, it rapped on the glass, catching the cop's attention. It then proceeded to mock him in it's usual manner, chittering rapidly in a…. well mocking manner. Saitou began to lose it.

Saitou: YOU KAMI-BE-DAMNED CREATURE!!! I WILL GATOTSU YOU, GRIND YOU UP, AND SMOKE YOU THE NEXT CHANCE I GET!!!!

At this point, Chou walked.

Chou: Hey, boss; what's al the racket going on in here about?

Saitou: It's that demonic cigarette-stealing squirrel again! *Points to window*

Squirrel: *gone*

Chou: Ah, what squirrel?

Saitou: The BASTARD!!! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE SPAWN OF SATAN!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MoTaS: Well, wasn't that interesting?

Kenshin: Stupid Saitou; can't even protect his own cigs from a squirrel.

MoTaS: That is very funny. And no one but Aoshi has seen it. Too bad.

Kenshin: I know.

MoTaS: Well, I hope you all enjoyed this one; I know I enjoyed typing it.

Kenshin: What will happen next time?

MoTaS: I haven't determined that as yet, but I can safely say that Aoshi and Misao will be appearing, and this won't be the last of Saitou and his new furry enemy. BEWARE THE FLYING HAMSTERS OF DOOM!!!
