Sanosuke: The drunk basher
Sanosuke carried the hot beef stew to the customers.
"Here you go!!" He said out loud, while he fan and blew his fingers from the hot beef stew. His customers blinked and sweat drops
"Uh... Thank you" said one of the customers.
"Don't mention it!!" Yelled Sanosuke as he quickly ran into the kitchen to put his hands in the sink.
"Looks like you have some difficulties carrying the food around, that you have" Kenshin smiled teasingly at Sanosuke. Sanosuke gave Kenshin a glare "Well I like to see you try it" mumbled Sanosuke.
"Actually I have...to give you some tips Sano... You should hold it with a cloth" Kenshin smiles and walked off to serve some more customers. Sanosuke sat on a chair and sulked ((Sanosuke sulking... That'll be the day)). He grabbed a towel and dried his hands
"Can't believe that stupid girl made me and Kenshin to become waiters dressed in kimonos" he grumbled to himself as he put the towel on the table.
Meanwhile...
"Excuse me sir... I don't think you should drink anymore..." said Tsubame to a drunken man who drank nine bottles of sake.
"Shut up!! I don't need a weak scrawny girl telling me what to do!!!" Yelled the drunken man and whacked Tsubame's scared face.
"Tsubame!!!" cried Yahiko, as he was infuriated and glared at the drunken man.
"You're gonna pay for this!" Yahiko said angrily to the man, as he stood in a fighting stance with his bamboo sword.
"Oh... And I suppose a kid like you dressed in a girl kimono is gonna stop me..." The drunken man replied as he slurred some of his words. Yahiko twitched as he caught the word 'kid' and 'girl kimono'.
"Take this!!!" cried Yahiko as he tried to hit the drunken man with his bamboo sword. The drunken man evades Yahiko's swing and punched Yahiko in the gut, sending him flying across the room. The drunken man walked towards Yahiko, prepared to finish him off as he grabbed a dagger from his pants.
"I don't like it when people who serve you a couple of drinks and starts to get worried about you... Then you just blow them off... That really pisses me off," Sanosuke said just in time as the drunken man stops from his position and regain his posture. "So...? What are ya gonna do about it huh?" said the drunken man as he sways to and fro.
"I'm gonna do this..." replied Sanosuke as he cracked his knuckles out loud and punched the guy right in the face giving him a bleeding nose job.
"Argh!!!! My nose!!! You bastard!! ((Sorry for the language ;;))" howled the drunken man as he fell onto his knees, clutching onto his precious bleeding nose. Sanosuke grabbed the man's collar and looked at him face to face, while giving him an icy glare. "Get out! And think through your thick skull before you come here again!!" shouted Sanosuke and threw him out of the Akabeko and into a stack full of hay.
"What did you do that for!!" yelled Yahiko as he got back to his feet "I almost had him!" Sanosuke blinked at Yahiko and grins
"Well... I was bored and I saw you sleeping, so I decided to have some fun" Yahiko glared and growled at Sanosuke but suddenly stopped as Tsubame came running towards Yahiko
"Yahiko! Are you all right?!" cried Tsubame. Yahiko blinks at Tsubame and slightly blushes
"Yeah... I'm all right... You're- you're not hurt are ya?" asked Yahiko as he was worried about her even though he doesn't show it.
"I'm fine" smiled Tsubame. "Thank you so much Sanosuke, I'm sure glad to have you helping us" Tae smiled as she watched the whole scene. Sanosuke rubbed the back of his head
"Ah... Like I said don't mention it... I was bored anyway... That guy just came right in to get rid of my frustration" Sanosuke said while he walked off to the kitchen the customers' orders. He stops in the middle of his way and turned around to Tsubame
"You know Tsubame... You better be careful... Yahiko have problems dealing with girls like you" Sanosuke smirked and quickly walked off. Yahiko turned red and ran after Sanosuke
"SANOSUKE!!!" Tsubame blinks at Sanosuke's comment and giggled.
"Thank you sir. Have a nice day!" smiled Kaoru as she waves to her customer goodbye. She picked up the dishes her customer had left and happily carried them to the kitchen. Kenshin watched her as she pass him by and smiles 'Miss Kaoru is very happy today, that she is' Kenshin thought to himself and carried on with his duties.
"You're very happy today Kaoru" said one of the chefs in the kitchen.
"Oh I'm just happy that it's a nice sunny day" cheered Kaoru as she put the dishes in the sink and walked off with a happy smile. Humming outside, while Kaoru fetches a pail of water from the well she heard three familiar voices in the restaurant.
"Who could it be? I thought I heard them from somewhere?" Kaoru said out loud to herself. Sanosuke walked beside the door "Hey missy"
Kaoru squealed and dropped the bucket. Sanosuke blinked and sweat drops, as he wasn't aware that he made her startled
"Um... Guess you haven't fetch the water yet... Well the guys in the kitchen need it. Just to uh... let you know" replied Sanosuke as he uncomfortably scratched behind his neck and walked off. Kaoru blinked for a moment as she almost had a heart attack from Sanosuke interrupting her thoughts. She gave a loud sigh of relief
"Oh... Not again..." whined Kaoru as she picked up the bucket to fetch the water from the well once again.
"Yay! We're gonna eat beef stew!!!" cried out Ayame and Suzume. Megumi smiled down at the girls
"Come on, let's go and get us a table" said Megumi as she gently nudges them both. "Okay!" they both smiled and walked in front of Megumi, looking around to find a table. "Hey look! There's uncle Kenny!!" shouted Ayame while she points at him.
"He looks funny wearing those clothes" Suzume giggled and they both ran up to Kenshin screaming "UNCLE KEN!!!"
"Oro?" Kenshin said quizzically and turn to the direction of the voice.
"Oh... Ayame and Suzume. What are you two doing here?" asked Kenshin, as he pleasantly smiles at the both of them.
"We're here to eat beef stew!!!" smiled Ayame
"Yah, we're going to eat beef stew," repeated Suzume and smiles. Megumi walked up behind Ayame and Suzume, and blinks as she saw Kenshin.
"Oh Sir Ken... What are you doing here? And... Why are you wearing those clothes?" asked Megumi while she points at Kenshin's 'work clothes'
"Oh... Miss Megumi. I'm here to help Miss Tae at the Akabeko, that I am" smiles Kenshin, while he sweat drops.
"Oh how noble of you Sir Ken" praised Megumi, as her eyes sparkled in delight
"Heheheheheh..." sniggered Yahiko as he watches Kenshin and Megumi behind the counter. He stood up and quickly ran into the kitchen to a piece of paper and ink set with a paintbrush.
"That'll teach him from messing with me" whispered Yahiko as he writes a note for Kaoru outside.
Dear Kaoru,
I would like to express my feelings about you by writing a poem.
Kaoru is like a monkey
Make that a donkey
All she does is snooze about
And smell like an old trout
She can't even cook for chickens
I rather climb six mountains
Her face is worst than her cooking
One look at her and I'll be puking
From Sanosuke P.S. For the sake of Kami... Stay inside.
"Can't wait to see the look on Kaoru's face" smirked Yahiko, as he fans the paper with his hand. He quickly folded the paper in half and shoved it in his pocket, and quickly walked back inside to find Kaoru. "Miss Megumi where is Dr Gensai?" asked Kenshin as he brought some tea for them and place it on the table.
"Dr Gensai wanted to stop by at his friend's place, so he asked me if I could take Ayame and Suzume for lunch" replied Megumi while she sips her tea. "Uncle Ken..." said Suzume as she tugs his clothes
"Are you going to work here everyday?" Kenshin sweat drops and place his hand on Suzume's head"No... I'm afraid I'm not going to work here everyday. Besides if I work here everyday, I won't be able to see you, cause I'll be busy, that I will"
"Miss Megumi?" Kaoru blinked as she walked towards the table.
"Oh Miss Kaoru... You're working here too?" Megumi asked in a surprised tone and continues to speak "Aw... It must be so hard for Sir Ken to work with such a violent girl" Megumi gloomed as she wrapped her arms around Kenshin. Kenshin blush furiously and sweat drops, not knowing what to say he gave a nervous "Oro..."
Kaoru's eyes narrowed as she glares at Megumi and Kenshin. Her eyebrow begins to twitch and her fists trembled in anger.
"KENSHIN!!!!!" Kaoru yelled and grabbed him by the collar from Megumi's arms and whacked him with a large wok, giving him a humongous lump on the head. (( Poor Kenshin T.T ))
