Chapter 5- The Market

Half an hour later, Kenshin automatically wakes up at sunrise.

Kenshin: Ahh, time to make breakfast --gets up and realizes where he is-- Right... --sighs, then looks at the sleeping Yahiko and Sano thinking 'Perhaps I should let them sleep... nah.'-- Yahiko, Sano, wakey uppy time!!

Yahiko: Nnnngg... my back... --realizes he's on the ground-- How'd I get here?

Kenshin: --innocently-- I dunno! Let's go!

Sano: --snore-- Another round on me!

Kenshin: --sweatdrop on his head-- Sano wake up, you're not drunk, no sake here. --starts to poke him--

Sano: --face becomes more and more irritated-- Nnng, bug off, Kenshin. --punches Kenshin, knocking him over swirly eyed.--

Yahiko: Get up already, rooster head.

After a while a cheerful Kenshin, annoyed Yahiko, and flustered Sano stepped out onto the street. They all sighed ominously.

Kenshin: Let's keep walking...

After a while of walking, they suddenly find themselves in the middle of a bustling market. People dashed all over, vendors exclaimed their prices, and taxi's zoomed by, honking their horns trying to get people's attention.

Kenshin: --happy to be in familiar surroundings-- Ahh, maaarrkeeett... --drools slightly--

Yahiko: I'm gonna go get us some breakfast --mutters-- I hope my pick pocketing skills haven't gotten rusty.

Kenshin: --choosing not to hear him-- What should we do, Sano?

Sano: --shrugs-- I dunno...

They choose to wander around for a while, examining all the exotic fruits. Soon they reach a butcher's stall...

Kenshin: --noticing a pig which had been cut in half horizontally, displaying the ribs and where most of the body parts were-- ... Sessha doesn't feel so good...

Sano: I don't see why this would bother you, considering your past.

Kenshin: That's exactly why it bothers me... (reminds of a certain guy Sessha got...) --turns green and passes out--

Sano: Ack, Kenshin! --sighs, and slings Kenshin over his shoulder-- Wussy...

Sano walks with the limp Kenshin and soon runs into Yahiko.

Yahiko: Hey! Lookey what I found! --holds out some oblong, orangey yellow fruits, then notices Kenshin-- What's with him?

Sano: Queasy stomach. What're those?

Yahiko: No idea! Dare you to try one!

Sano: No way!

Yahiko: Chicken!

Sano: --grabs one of the fruits-- Gimme that! --sniffs it, then bites into it, taking a large chunk out. He chews noisily-- Not bad... --spits out skin-- Don't eat that part.

Yahiko: Hmm, let's use Kenshin's sakabatou to cut these open.

Kenshin: --awake by now-- Oro?

Soon they were enjoying the juicy fruit, sitting by the street.

Kenshin: --looking mournfully at his sakabatou-- It's all sticky...

Sano: --licking his fingers-- Ack, my hands are all sticky. --starts wiping his hands on Yahiko's hair--

Yahiko: What the ...? --starts shouting curses at Sanosuke that are waaayy too vulgar to publish-- I'll murder you!

Sano: Not in a million years, kid.

Yahiko: NOT KID!!

Sano: Feh. --dodges all of Yahiko's attempts to hit him with his shinai--

Kenshin: Oh dear...

End of Chapter 5

Kie-san: Mmm, mango's...

Aku-chan: So, how do ye like it so far!

Kie-san: Bet they hate it, considering who came up with it...

Aku-chan: Yeah, well, you ugly! Why do I have to be -chan- anyway!

Kie-san: You're younger, I'm older. The laws of the universe, grasshopper.

Aku-chan: Why do they always say "grasshopper" anyway??

Kie-san: No idea. Anyway, we'll have the next chapter up soon (I think).

Aku-chan: Mata ne!
