Chapter 1: So It's A Normal Day At The Dojo...

The sun shone brightly after a night of rain. The Kamiya dojo was bustling with activity as usual. With Kenshin drying the laundry and Yahiko and Sano getting into a squabble, it seems like any other day at the dojo. Suddenly, I feel bad about interfering with their daily activities with my soon to be asked questions. But then again, for our reading pleasure, let's continue.

Kenshin: Thank you for coming, Yuki-dono. (Smiles cheerfully)

Me: My pleasure.

Kaoru: So why not we start now?

-Kenshin-gumi all settle down in a circle-

Me: Hai, Kaoru-dono. Well, Yahiko-Chan, have you ever-

Yahiko: DO NOT CALL ME "CHAN"! I AM NOT A SMALL BOY!!!! GRR! IT IS JUST "YAHIKO"! WITHOUT THE "CHAN!" GRRR! (Starts raving on and on)

Me: Gomen-nasai! Gomen, gomen! A slip of tongue! (Yahiko finally settles down.) Hai. Well, Yahiko, have you ever thought of taking on Kaoru-dono when you are strong enough?

Yahiko: Strong enough? Hahaha! I can take her on anytime! (Rage building up in Kaoru)

Kaoru: YAHIKO BAKA! I'm your teacher how can you be so conceited! You haven't even mastered the style and you think you can take me on?!!?! (Starts hitting Yahiko with her bokken)

Kenshin: Oro?! (Smiles worriedly) Relax, Kaoru-dono. Yahiko didn't mean what he said, right? (Looks at Yahiko)

Yahiko: H-Hai... (Slips into unconsciousness)

Me: -laughs- Right. Next, Megumi-san, what do you think of Kenshin?

Megumi: Ken-san? Ohohoho! Ken-san is so dashing. (Kaoru's grip tightened on her bokken) He cooks just as well as me! Ohohoho! Unlike some people in the house-

Kaoru: (Cuts in) and who might you be referring to, Megumi-san?! (Grip on bokken tightens)

Megumi: No one in particular... Ohohoho! (fox ears sprout out)

-Kenshin holding Kaoru back from hitting Megumi with bokken.-

Me: Err. Let's move on to the next character. Sano! Why don't you ever, ever pay off your debts?

Sano: (whispers) There are all these people paying for me. Heh! Katsu and that raccoon girl. So why bother myself to work? My two fists are what I survive on. Want me to demonstrate? (gets ready for extreme fist move)

Me: -laughs sheepishly- No, no! Arigato! No thanks. (Sano looking disappointed, goes back to chew a fishbone)

-Saito enters the dojo, looking for Kenshin-

Me: Saito! Just right timing! I have a few questions!

Saito: I have no time for your silly games.

Kaoru: Saito BAKA! Do you have to be so rude to our guest?!

Saito: Fine. I'll answer your questions.

Me: Ahem. Okay. Why are you so bent on killing our famous Rurouni?

Saito: A feud from long ago... But no doubt, I'm obviously better than him.

Yahiko and Sano: SAITO BAKA! NO ONE'S BETTER THAN KENSHIN!

Saito: Smirk Hah. Think whatever you want. Actions are louder than words. (Draws his sword)

Kenshin: Now, now. Why can't we all just get along? Saito, I have no intention of fighting you.

Saito: Fine. I don't want to humiliate you in front of your loyal supporters.

Me: Sure. Well, Kenshin, why don't you tell us all the good points about Kaoru-dono?

Kenshin: (Smiles widely) Of course. Kaoru-dono, she's very feisty and spontaneous. She's also very brave. (Smiles again)

Kaoru-dono: Hai, arigato, Kenshin. (Smiles as well)

-Kenshin and Kaoru looking at each other longingly-

So how was my first chapter? Good? Bad? Please read and review! Thanks! ï
