An...Intoxicaing Question

As usual, it's another peaceful day at the Kamiya Dojo (or, as peaceful as it can ever get). Kaoru and Yahiko are training, and from the sounds of it, Yahiko was in great pain. Kenshin, having finished all of the chores (amazing!), was sitting on the porch, sipping tea. The Gensai Girls were playing in the yard. The gate slides open, and staggering in, drunk, who else but Sanosuke walks in.

Kenshin: Sano?

Sano: (very, very drunk at the moment, speaking to Kenshin) Hey there, Little Missie. *hic* How's it goin' *hic* with Kenshin?

Kenshin: Oro???

Sano: Wanna have some *hic* sake?

Kenshin: Are you alright? Maybe you should go to the spare bedroom and sleep until your hangover passes by.

Sano: Whadya mean a *hic* hangover?

Ayame: (walks in) Uncle Kenny, what's wrong with Uncle Sano?

Suzume: Yeah, what's wrong?

Sano: C'mon, Missie *hic* let's have a drink. (pats Kenshin on his head)

Ayame: Uncle Kenny, why is Uncle Sano calling you Missie? Isn't that what he calls Auntie Kaoru? (Suzume nods)

Kenshin: Why don't you two go watch Miss Kaoru and Yahiko train?

Ayame: But-

Sano: (to Suzume) Hey Kenshin.

[real] Kenshin: Oro???

Sano: Here, have some *hic* sake. (bends down) Did you *hic* shrink since I last came? *hic*

Suzume: What's that uncle Sano? (points to jug)

Sano: (who didn't hear a thing) Well, some sake will make you *hic* shoot right up. (hands Suzume his jug of sake)

Kenshin: Sano don't do that!

Suzume stares at it for a second before drinking... the whole jug. Kenshin and Ayame stare wide-eyed (in the traditional bug-eyed anime style) at Suzume as she dropped the jug and began to sway like the world was tilted. She spotted a grasshopper jumping across the yard and started hopping in a crooked line. Kenshin and Ayame just watched as she hopped over to Sano. Sano looked stupidly on as she came closer, and a rush of pain hit him when Suzume hit her favorite target. Too drunk yell out in pain, he just collapsed. Suzume tripped and fell flat on her face. They both just stayed flat on the ground as Kenshin watched on.

Kenshin: Ayame???

Ayame, mad at Sano for making her sister act sick, walks up to him and takes over his sister's traditional job. She steps... hard... on Sano (can you guess where?) over and over. Kaoru and Yahiko finally come out.

Kaoru: (takes one look at the scene) WHAT HAPPENED HERE!?!?!? AYAME!?!?!?

Yahiko: Did I miss something? (looks from Suzume, then Ayame, and Sano) WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?

Kenshin: Orororoooooooooo...

**A/N: finally, the 5th question written down. This was a very very short chapter, and this was really meant just to set up the next chapter, which another character gets his share ofpainimeanfun, yes, fun is the word. I actually didn't enjoy this chapter as much as the others, partially because I wasn't in the mood and partially because I had been thinking of this one for so long that I just got tired of it. Suggestions taken, as long as they are rated PG or under and as long as it's something reasonable that two little girls anout 5 and 3 would ask. Arigatou to shura-chan27 for giving me a suggestion for this set-up (don't worry, your chapter will come soon), my lil sis, Baka Baka for giving me the idea to add Ayame's crucial role in the Sano torture, and to all of you for reading!
