Title: When life hands you sake...

Disclaimer: you know what occurred to me? how funny it would be if someone who Actually Did own something decided to write fanfiction for it....their disclaimer would proly be funny too...I promise someday, when I am the author of something worthy of having fans, I will write some fanfiction and read the fanfiction that others write...(and probably laugh until I cry)...but until that day...I own nothing.

Author's Notes: *hangs head in shame* so sorry for not working on everything else...it's not that I'm working on this instead, this just takes no planning and stuff just sort of hits me...then takes all of five minutes to type...sooooo much different than everything else...I have some scenes written for "simple explanation' nothing for 'betrayal'...but do not fear, I will finish them...

I really can't explain this one...but I couldn't explain the other ones either so whatever...I guess

The warm atmosphere of the Akabeko drew tons of customers. Among them the favorite dysfunctional extended family that inhabited the Kamiya Dojo. Rumors had been circulating the town about Kamiya Kaoru and the men that she associated with, especially the handsome red haired man that seemed to live with her, barely ever leaving her side. Some young girls found it romantic, while many of their mothers frowned in disapproval at the scandalous arrangement. (*phoebe is attacked by an idea for another fic* 'oh BLAST!' she yells, to the dismay of her roommate... 'AHEM...back to the spoofage') The owners of the Akabeko, however, didn't participate in the whispered rumors that surrounded the couple. Instead the staff was particularly cheerful toward them, as they were both good friends and favorite customers.

Tsubame walked toward their table, winking flirtatiously at Yahiko before turning a genuine grin on the others at the table. Tae passed by behind her and waved animatedly at them.

"What would you all like today?" Tsubame asked with another smile.

"Well, I, for one, would really like some really hot Tae." Sanosuke said, then blanched as he realized what he had actually come out of his mouth. Tae turned twelve shades of embarrassed...rivaling the color of Kenshin's hair.

"Sano, was that a Freudian slip?" queried Kenshin, after the moment of shocked silence had blanketed the table.

"No, it was the stupid authoress being dyslexic again..." Sano grumbled.

In a crowded tropical-looking teki-hut type dance club the lights dimmed and colorful spotlights faded up onto the band. The familiar strains of the famous 'Copa Kabana' song drift up in volume. Misao, clad in a coconut bra, approached the mic. (I refrained from putting Aoishi in a coconut bra and grass skirt...but I felt like sharing the image with y'all =D Aoishi:'grrrrrrr...' ). Her backup consisted of Kenshin shirtless on the bongos, Aoishi on the drum set sporting a black shirt that read 'percussion... everything else just blows', Soujiro and Okina playing various horns (whilst eyeing Aoishi's shirt malevolently) and finally Kaoru as a backup dancer. Megumi, the other dancer, was currently MIA but they had to start the set on time or they would be subjected to more heinous torture from Phoebe-sama. Misao shot an evil grin at Kaoru before 'working her vocal magic' as she liked to say.

*Her name was Kaoru, she ran a dojo

with blue ribbons in her hair and a kimono cut down to there*

Kaoru blinked at Misao. 'Isn't the song supposed to be about a showgirl named Lola?' she thought to herself, wondering what the genki teenager was trying to pull.

*she would teach kendo and swing a bokken

and while she tried to be a star

Rurouni always had this interesting scar*

"Oro?" said Kenshin trying not lose the beat on the bongos.

*across the new scrubbed floor, they worked from 8 til 4

they were young and they had each other

who could ask for more? *

At this point Yahiko, while helping Tsubame wait tables, was having a lot of trouble holding in his laughter. Busu was turning redder by the minute, it was just too perfect.

*At the dojo. The Kamiya dojo

the hottest spot south of Hakkiado At the dojo. The Kamiya dojo

Kendo and passion were always in fashion

At the dojo.... they fell in love .*

At this point Kaoru couldn't take it anymore, she launched herself at Misao but somehow managed to trip on a conveniently placed wire on the stage floor and fell directly on top of a startled Rurouni.

*His name was Kenshin he wore a pink gi*

There were more struggles as they tangled with other conveniently placed cords and instruments.

*he was made fun of for his hair, and he always did the laundry there

and when he finished, she called him over*

At this point, the struggling couple managed to regain their feet. Kenshin gave a sigh of relief before he looked down at the coconut bra in his hand and turned stark white with eyes the size of plates.

"HENTAI!" Kaoru yelled, beginning to chase Kenshin around the stage. One arm wrapped around her chest, covering herself, and the other wielding a bokken that she had pulled from hammerspace (or 'bokkenspace' as the case may be.)

*but bad guys went a bit to far*

Kenshin ran out into the audience, fearing for his life. Kaoru chased him into a dark secluded corner, but lost all thought of beating him within an inch of his life when she realized that Megumi had been hiding in this particular corner making out with the club's bouncer, Sanosuke.

*Rurouni went to Kyoto (but not by car)*

Misao was running out of lyrics to improvise, but was infinitely amused by the events unfolding before her. Needless to say Zanza was a bit upset with Kenshin for interrupting his Kitsune.

*and there the punches flew and bones were smashed in two*

It seemed that Sano had threatened to 'futae no kiwami' Kenshin into the dirt. So Kenshin, of course, ran for his life.

*there was blood and a single guy in a mummy suit

but just who burned who?*

Sanosuke chased Kenshin into the area backstage, the many crashes heard over the music blending perfectly with the percussion.

*At the dojo. The Kamiya dojo*

After one final dramatic crash, Kenshin emerged onto the stage looking very disheveled but clad in a grass skirt, Kaoru's coconut bra, and a hat consisting of lots of fruit (including pineapples and bananas). Misao almost could not contain her laughter. Saitou, from where he was running the spotlights, grinned evilly and put as much light as possible on his favorite enemy. Hiko sat at the bar drinking sake, of course, and chuckling over the state of his 'baka deshi'.

*the hottest spot south of Hakkiado*

The fruit hat had fallen over the Rurouni's eyes, temporarily blinding him. Misao, unable to resist, moved him around the stage like a puppet forcing him to do something that resembled 'the hula'.

*At the dojo. The Kamiya dojo

Kendo and passion were always in fashion

At the dojo....*

Sanosuke tried his best to skid to a stop as he came bounding out onto the stage, but instead crashed directly into Misao and Kenshin taking them both to the floor and tangling in the main power cord. As they hit the ground all light and sound stopped.

*...they fell in love* Misao sang as loudly as she could from underneath Sano and Kenshin.

Aoishi, coolly surveying the scene before him conveniently added the ever popular 'ba dumb bump ching' usually used to signal the end of a particularly corny joke.

The audience burst into applause.

(Phoebe walked out onstage, plugged the power back in, picked up the microphone and yelled "GOMEN, the Penguins made me do it!!!" An angry Battousai glared up at her from underneath the pineapple headdress, Phoebe ran off of the stage, fearing that he would think this a good time to break his 'no killin' vow.)

Phoebe sat dejectedly at her desk, finishing up the impossible take home Italian quiz, while her roommate scrambled around getting ready to leave for class.

"Oh, bloody hell." Leigh groaned in her usual British accent. (Note: almost everything that my roommate says is funnier because of this accent.)

"What?" Phoebe asked as her roomie stumbled to the door.

"It's gonna rain." she said as she waved to Phoebe and turned to run to class.

"Ciao!" Phoebe yelled at Leigh's retreating back. There was a slight pause before Phoebe slammed her head into the desk and muttered "it's taking over my life...I just can't get away..." She stared at the test with a wry look on her face just before staring to hum the catchy tune which she knew would be in her head for the rest of her natural life.
