-- "You??!!," The Bishies Met --
It took AnM more or less three days and a half to recruit everyone's favorite (and non so favorite) bishies to participate in the first Mr. Rurouni Kenshin Contest. She arranged it so that the preparations for the event (the hall, scenario, and its decoration; the lights, cameras, giant tv screens, and all high-tech machinery needed; the security, press and more security; etc...) be finished, or at least in advanced progress upon her return. And in these preparations AnM did not scrimp in expenses. Only the best for the best (bishounen). Isn't it so? However, even though AnM was fairly solvent, the total expenses exceeded her budget. So broke was she that when some Tokyo police officers came to take Tetsuma back, AnM had no money left to buy Tetsuma's liberty for more days. (A/N: *hugs* sowwiee Testuma!)
Thankfully he was the only bishounen who had to leave. Kenshin, Sanosuke, Yahiko, Aoshi, Hiko, Saitou, Soujiro and Enishi stayed, and Shougo, Shozo (AN/: ya know who's he, right? No?! *faints* Ya remember the guy with short black hair who who was with Magdalia/Sayo when she first met Sano during the Shimbara Arc? Well, that's Shozo, a bishie!! ne?), Yutaro, Captain Sagara, Shishio and Okita (A/N: yes, dead bishies too!! Don't forget AnM is all mighty! ^^ -- I mean, a broken all mighty miko now ^_^U) joined them. They were recruited individually, sent individually to the contest place, kept separately in a designed room ... In other words, they didn't know who were the other participants, leave alone, know they were acquaintances with each others. Knowing these bishies and their personalities, it's quite easy to imagine what happened when AnM reunited them face to face with each other to explain the mechanics of the game ...
"Oi Kenshin!" Sanosuke greeted Kenshin showing no surprise in finding the redhaired man there. "What's up?"
"Sano?" was all the Kenshin could say. He knew Sanosuke would glue to him and accompany him in whichever fight he had to fight, with or without his consent. If he had to fight, the fact of Sanosuke coming along was implied. But this? Man, this was a contest! And not a fighting (in the proper sense of the word, that's it) contest he could tell, for if that were the case, why would AnM-dono sent a tailor to take his measurements? He liked Sanosuke's company, he was his friend after all. But what Kenshin didn't want was to have any witness in his participation in the contest. Why he wasn't sure, but he had a feeling, a bad feeling about the contest. (perhaps the idea of modeling in swimsuit before crazy fangirls? lol) He sighed. He knew Sanosuke would go nowhere. Sanosuke broke into his thoughts.
"Ah you came to give me cheers? Arigatou but that won't be necessary Kenshin, I have this contest in the pocket already." the young man said with confidence, grinning and patting one pocket of his trousers in a gesture. Kenshin blinked, surprised with the turn of events, but just for a moment. He smiled at his tall friend. If Sano was participating too, that would increase the possiblities of winning the contest, and therefore the washing machine AnM told him about. He beamed with delight.
"Iie Sano, it's not so. I came to participate in the contest, that I came for. I want this wachi--" he couldn't finish because Sanosuke bursted out in uncontrollable laughter. Kenshin stared at him asking what was so funny about him wanting a washing machine, if Sano knew what was that of course.
"Gomen, Kenshin. Friend, it's just that this contest is a kind of beauty contest. The judges won't choose someone short, nor fragile looking, nor effemina--" Kenshin glared. *coughs* "Besides Kenshin, I don't think Kaoru would like to know that you are participating in this kind of contest. She's of the jealous type."
"OroOroroo"
At this moment a happy Yahiko stepped in with a giant chocolate ice cream with sugared cone, in hand. "Ahh! This IS life!" he sang and gave his cone another bite. Sanosuke looked at him, his eyes fixed on the strange "thing" Yahiko was eating. "Kiddo, what are you doing here? What's that thing you are eating, eh?" he asked with interest, his eyes still fixed on the ice cream, and walked towards the boy. "I'm not a kid!! I'm a MAN!" Yahiko screamed loud enough to bring Kenshin out from his oro-state.
"Yahiko? Where's Kaoru-dono? Don't tell me she's here with you, is she?" the rurouni asked nervously. "Oi Kenshin. Iie, jou-chan is ... where? I don't know Kenshin." the dark-skinned boy told a relieved Kenshin, and Sanosuke taking advantage of the boy's momentary distraction, made a swift move and snatched the ice cream cone from Yahiko's hand. "Hey rooster, give me back my ice cream!!!!!!!!! AnM gave it to me! Go get your own!!" the boy bellowed and tried to get his precious ice cream back. "Maa Maaa, calm down. It's just a ... It's just some food." Kenshin interfered.
This was how Aoshi found them when he came into the meeting room. "Baka" he muttered and sat quietly as far as possible from the trio, who, except for Kenshin, hadn't noticed his presence. Aoshi closed his eyes and tried to meditate on how he was to defeat Kenshin in the contest. Where was AnM? She had to explain them how was the contest going to be conducted, and from this point on, was from where Aoshi would plan his moves. He snapped his eyes open. Two people were coming. One was Saitou, and the other? He couldn't tell the other, but his ki was enormous. Kenshin shuddered. Seijuro Hiko was there, and with none other than Saitou. Things couldn't get worse for Kenshin. Saitou was the first to speak.
"Battousai, we meet again. However, I must admit I never thought it would be in these circumstances, or in a contest, to be more precise." he lied.
"Saitou ... I'm Kenshin, not Battousai." the red haired reminded the police officer, who just smirked. "Aa, Shinomori. You're here too. This would be a lovely evening." Aoshi said nothing but looked interested in the big muscled man drinking a bottle of sake and standing at the entrance. That had to be Hiko Seijuro, the 13th master of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu sword-fighting style, Kenshin's sensei.
"I want more ice cream. That was delicious!!" said Sanosuke licking his lips, Yahiko trying to assest an strike on his rooster head wit his bamboo sword. "Oi Saitou. Don't you have work to do?" said Sanosuke coming nearer. Saitou lighted up another imported cigarette. It was his tenth in the day. "I thought animals were not admitted in this area." Saitou said in a serious tone exhaling rings of smoke. "What animals, huh?" asked Sanosuke scanning the room. Yahiko rolled on the floor laughing. "You baka!!! You're the rooster!" Saitou looked down at the boy. "Great, stupid kiddos and roosters all around. This is annoying." "HEY!!! Who are you calling annoying???!!!" Sanosuke and Yahiko growled in unison. Aoshi's ears hurt. And he thought nothing or no one could be noiser than Misao! Not that he didn't like Misao's enlivened and cheery attitude, on the contrary, he enjoyed it very much even though he didn't show. But this, this was a headache!!
Hiko put down his huge sake bottle. It was time for his hobby. He cleared his throat forcing Kenshin to acknowledge his presence. "Sensei." the short man bowed. "Where's my gift? Did you at least bring me some sake this time?" was the answer Kenshin got from his sensei. "Why would I?" Kenshin retorted. "I didn't know you were coming, and besides this is not even your place." "You're just too stingy." Hiko stated bluntly. Aoshi looked up and Saitou, still pestered by Sanosuke and Yahiko, raised an eyebrow. Kenshin's head popped out and his eyebrows drew closer, his eye twitching (A/N: try to picture that funny face Kenshin made when he visited Hiko the first time in the anime. You remember it? lol, funny, ne?). Hiko rolled his eyes. *taking out a pail from gods know where* "Go bring water." Hiko said throwing Kenshin the pail. Too bad Kenshin was still cursing inwardly for having such a mean sensei. The pail hit him on the head, leaving him momentarily @_@. "Not only has you grew stupider but also slower?" Hiko scoffed. Kenshin stood and picked up the pail. Saitou smiled maliciously, he was enjoying this. He already liked Hiko.
"Aa Himura-san, it's good to see you. I need to ask you something." said a cheery voice catching everyone's attention. Hiko eyed Soujiro with interest. 'So this is the boy who nearly defeated Kenshin with his shukuchi, Tenken no Soujiro. Interesting.' "Soujiro-dono, it's good to see you too." Kenshin said sincerely. Aoshi glared at Soujiro, the boy shrugged. "Himura-san, Shishio-sama says his logic of life 'the strong lives, the weak dies' is the only truth and that you were just trying to play with my mind with your cheap-psychology of life. I'm utterly confused, heh." the Tenken said still smiling. "Shishio SAYS?????" Sanosuke, Kenshin, Saitou, and Aoshi, without noticing, said in unison. "Kenshin, you killed Shishio back then, didn't you?" Yahiko asked confused. Kenshin nodded and Sanosuke exploded into laughter. "Geezz Soujiro, don't scare me to death. For once I thought Shishio was back from hell."
"Oh but I am!" said a sinister voice from behind. "Shishio!!" the rest of the guys couldn't believe their eyes.
"Yes guys, Shishio's back." AnM walked in with Okita, Captain Sagara, Yutaro, Shougo, and Shozo following behind. "As well as Okita and Captain Sagara. I brought them back from death." Sanosuke and Saitou turned their head towards the door, and Okita and Captain Sagara smiled at them. "Captain Sagara!!" Sanosuke cried out and hugged (A/N: not "yaoi-shly." pls, ppl!) the man he admired so much. "Sanosuke, I'm happy to see you again." Captain Sagara told him fatherly. "Oi Saitou, are you not happy to see me alive, at least for the contest?" a smiling Okita asked Saitou bringing him back from his stupor. "Iie, Okita. It's good to see you again, boy."
"You must be Shougo Amakusa." Hiko said addressing Shougo. Shougo nodded slowly and bowed, recognizing by instinct it can be say, who was the big man in cape. They started talking about all the events in Shimbara (Arc), and Hiko got to the conclusion that Shougo would have been a better disciple than his baka deshi, had it not been for his constant talkings about Christianity (A/N: no offense *ish Christian herself!*). Shozo greeted Sanosuke and they started remembering Sayo, Shozo beginning with his Saint Magdalia stuff.
"Himura-san, were you really playing with my mind? I haven't found the truth you told me about. Shishio-sama must be right." Soujiro questioned Kenshin again, who couldn't answer because he was having a major headache. Yutaro and Yahiko has just started fighting each other and Kenshin got hit on the head with with two bamboo swords when he tried to interfere. "I thought we had given Yutaro a bamboo sword, not an iron bar." he managed to mutter before going all @_@ again! "Soujiro, come here. Don't waste your time with Battousai. He's a loser." "Take that back!!" the two boys glared at Shishio. Poor Aoshi, his head felt like hell.
"Guys!" AnM shouted trying to catch their attention. They didn't hear, and if they did, they chose to ignore her. Bad choice. AnM took out a loudspeaker "EVERYONE GET THEIR ASS ON A CHAIR NOW!!" The room went silent and the bishies stared at her. She blushed furiously. "Can you PLEASE behave?" She looked at Enishi who sat quietly on a chair, like a good boy. "And they say Enishi is the psychopath." she sighed. "Enishi????!!!!!!!!!!" everyone who had met him before stared at the white haired man in awe. "Who's Enishi, huh?" the once-death bishies asked. "Oh my, here we go again!" AnM shook her head and took an aspirin.
One hour later...
AnM had somehow managed to silence the room, and finally began to inform the guys of the contest ... which was not an easier task either ...
AnM: " ... and when every single of you signed the contract, you agreed on participating in the the contest, from the start to the very end of it when the bishiest of all will be crowned as Mr. Rurouni Kenshin."
Shishio: "Why is it called Mr. Rurouni Kenshin? I don't want to be crowned as Mr. Rurouni Kenshin. I'm Shishio. That's ridiculous!"
All bishies, except Kenshin, nodded agreeingly. Kenshin shuddered.
AnM: "The contest is named Mr. Rurouni Kenshin Contest because that's the name of the anime/manga and that's where you bishies are all from! Does that answer your question, Shishio?"
Shishio didn't answer. He was still processing the word anime in his bandaged head. Soujiro raised his hand.
AnM: "Hai, Sou-chan?" *smiles*
Soujiro: "AnM, gomen, but..what's a bishie? Shishio-sama never told me about bishies, nor has Himura-san."
Yahiko: "Is that comestible?"
AnM: *sweat drops* "Iie, Yahiko. Bishies are ... mmm... er.. you are the bishies."
Everyone: *?????*
AnM: *sighs* "Let's just say bishie is everyone participating in this contest, O.K.?" They nodded. "Good, as I was saying, you had agree upon signing the contract, to do whatever the contest requires you to do, including putting on the clothes (or taking off?? ^_~) you are asked to."
Aoshi didn't like this part. It seemed Shougo neither cause he was the next to interrupt AnM.
Shougo: "AnM, what kind of clothes are we talking about? I can't w---"
AnM: "Don't worry, Shougo. All these clothes are permitted by the church. Wearing them isn't going to break any commandment or constitue a sin." Shougo sighed in relief, the rest shrugged.
Saitou: "Back to the issue, can we?"
Hiko: "I need another bottle of sake, AnM. Can my baka deshi go look for it?"
Kenshin: "Youu--!!"
AnM: "Don't start over again, please. Let me finish. Hiko, after this I promise I'll get you ten bottle of sake."
Hiko: "Arigatou, AnM. Kenshin, you should learn from her."
Sanosuke: "AnM, can you give me one of those you gave Yahiko? Ice - something..."
Yahiko: "Ice cream, dumb!"
AnM: "I will, I will!!!!!!! Now PLEASE, can you all stayed quiet for a second??!"
Enishi: "I'm behaving good, oneesan." The rest looked at him but averted their eyes when Enishi glared back.
AnM: "...and this are the mechanics of the contest ..."
