((blah)) -- AN (Author's Notes)
Kaoru VS Megumi
Yahiko wandered inside the back area of the Akabeko, in slight frustration "Darn it... Where is she?"
"Looking for Tsubame, Yahiko?" asked Sanosuke, as he happens to see Yahiko wandering around. Yahiko was startled to see Sanosuke and started to panic in his thoughts
"Uh... Yeah... I was" Yahiko stuttered, seeing that his mind of thoughts was spinning round in circles of 'I better not screw this up' or 'Go away Sanosuke!' Sanosuke replied to Yahiko with his finger pointing at a direction to where Tsubame was
"Oh... Well Tsubame is serving some customers at the front" Sanosuke turn around and started to head to where he was going.
"Kay..." Yahiko pauses for a while and decided to use this time for a chance to get his revenge "Wait! Sanosuke!" Yahiko yelled
"Hmm...?" Sanosuke replied as he stopped to turn around and look at Yahiko "What is it?" he asked.
"Oh, I forgot to give this to Kaoru" replied Yahiko, while he grabbed the letter from his sleeve and hand it to Sanosuke "The postman gave it to me, this morning. Could you give it to her?" asked Yahiko, trying to act calm as possible. Sanosuke blinked at the letter and took it "Yeah, sure... What ever" he replied carelessly and walked off. As Sanosuke was out of sight, Yahiko gave a sigh of relief and an evil grin "Hehehehe...Can't wait to see Kaoru's face and her reaction!" he said to himself in excitement, as he ran off to serve some customers.
Mean while where Kaoru and the others were...
"Kenshin! You jerk! How could you ever let... Let... A horrible woman like her to do that!" Kaoru furiously yelled at Kenshin, while gathering a lot of unwanted attention from the customers.
"Oh my... Miss Kaoru... I knew you had a short temper... But I never knew it was that short" Megumi said, pretending to be innocent ((Which she's not! XP)). Kaoru growled at Megumi and grind her teeth, if there were any people around here or if they were back at the Dojo she would've pounce at Megumi, ripping her limb to limb.
"Miss Kaoru... Please calm down, you're gathering unwanted attention from the customers, that you are" Kenshin said nervously, trying his best to calm Kaoru down let alone getting himself beaten to death. Kaoru twitched more than ever and quickly grabbed a plate of food and threw it at Kenshin's face ((Like she did to Sanosuke when Kenshin was kidnap by Shura )) and ran off.
"Oro!" cried Kenshin as he almost fell on to the floor, but luckily ((Cause Kenshin wouldn't have any more bumps than he already has)) Miss Megumi caught Kenshin and held him with her arms.
"Oh Sir Ken? Are you all right?" asked Megumi with a hint of concern in her eyes, while she removes the plate of food off his face. Unfortunately Kenshin couldn't reply as his eyes were in a swirly state and the fact that he was knocked out.
"Poor uncle Ken" said Ayame as she sit beside Kenshin
"Yeah poor uncle Ken" replied Suzume as she sits beside her sister.
As Kaoru ran with all her might, heading towards the back of the Akabeko, she stopped and angrily crossed her arms as she sat on the floor, sinking deep into her thoughts.
"I wonder where'd that Missy go?" Sanosuke murmured to himself as he searched for Miss Kaoru. "Hmm... Maybe she went at the back," he answered to himself as he headed to the back. And of course Sanosuke was correct. Sanosuke blinked, as he never saw Kaoru so quiet, he gulps hoping he didn't somehow ignite Kaoru's temper.
"Hey Missy. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be serving some customers?" said Sanosuke with curiosity. Kaoru was snapped out of her thoughts and quickly turned around
"Oh Sanosuke, I was just taking a short break" Kaoru replied with a fake smile. Sanosuke raised his eye brow at her, giving her the signal that he's not buying it, but he'll leave it aside for a while.
"Hmph, what ever. Oh here take it, its for you" Sanosuke said as he remembered to give Yahiko's letter to Kaoru. "Well, you better start working Missy. See ya" Sanosuke replied as he returned to his work. Kaoru blinked at the letter and was about to open it, when one of the chefs came and spoke to her
"Oh Kaoru, could you please fetch us some more water? Thanks" he replied as he left. Kaoru looked at the letter one more time and shrugged
"Oh well... I could always read it when I get back to the Dojo" she said to herself and grabbed a bucket to fetch the chefs some water from the well.
"Well Miss Megumi, I should better go out to serve some customers, that I should" Kenshin smiled as he stood up, retrieving his tray.
"See you again uncle Ken" chirped Ayame and Suzume, while they watched their wandering uncle, serving the customers.
"Well Ayame and Suzume, you better start eating otherwise the food will get cold" replied Megumi as she reached for a pair of chopsticks and an empty bowl.
"Yeah!" agreed Ayame and Suzume as they both started eating.
"Hey look! It's uncle Sano!" pointed Suzume with her mouth full.
"And he's wearing those funny clothes like uncle Ken is" giggled Ayame as she sees him.
"Hey uncle Sano!" smiled Suzume and Ayame as they waved to him. Hearing his own name Sanosuke turned around and smiled at Ayame and Suzume as he saw them. He then lifted his gaze up and saw Megumi and sagged in misery. He walked up towards them and sat between Ayame and Suzume.
"So what are you guys doing here?" asked Sanosuke. Megumi gave a disgusted look at Sanosuke and replied with sarcasm
"Oh we're just here to eat, that's all. No biggy, but I wouldn't say that, since I never seen that side of you before" Sanosuke gave Megumi a confused look and blinked
"What side?"
"The side that you... How should I say it...? Touching your feminine side by... Cross dressing"
"WHAT!!!" Sanosuke yelled in disbelief, while his face turn into a dark red shade, darker red than Kenshin's hair.
"You heard me," replied Megumi as she reached out for a piece of beef and ate it. Sanosuke twitched and clenched his fists in anger
"You've gotta be kidding me?! I'm just helping around like Kenshin is! I just have to wear this dumb clothes cause Tae told me too!" Sanosuke yelled. Ayame and Suzume blinked at Sanosuke and smiled at each other.
"Adults say funny long words," Suzume said to her sister with her face covered in rice.
"Yeah, if only we know what they're saying. I wonder what cross dressing means" Ayame wondered as she grabbed a piece of beef with her chopsticks.
"Yah, me too" replied Suzume. Sanosuke and Megumi began to have a verbal fight against each other, with words throwing around the place such as 'Fox lady!' and 'Idiot'. With all the squabbling from Megumi and Sanosuke, Yahiko turned around and wondered where was the squabbling was coming from. Yahiko sweat drops as he found out that the squabbling was Sanosuke and Megumi. He shrugged his shoulders and continued to serve some customers and help Tsubame to fetch some water.
