MoTaS: Well hello my dear, beloved readers – it seems that our wonderful author friend Cidonie has decided that this story is no longer of interest to her and now I have stepped forward to continue with it's progress.

Kenshin: Simply, she gave him the story for him to control – provided he leaves her character in the story. The first five chaps are the ones she wrote –

MoTaS: -posted under my name. Hopefully my writing abilities will do her work justice.

Disclaimer: I do not own RK, the plot, or even the OC!!!! Well, the plot is mine to control, but not mine originally.

Yahiko the nusience

"KENSHIN!" a voice called from outside.

He looked up from the dishes and sighed. "Miss Kaoru is something wrong?"He said annoyed. 'Miss Koaru, Yahiko, and sometimes even Sanosuke are really tiresome. Playing pranks on me and when I fall for them there not even funny ' he thought as he wiped his hands on a dry dishclothe and walked out the kitchen door to the hallway. As he stepped outside he saw Miss Kaoru sitting in the open sliding door to the dojo with a worried look on her face.

"What's wrong Miss Kaoru?" Kenshin asked as he looked down with concern at the young blacked haired women in front of him.

"Yahiko. I can't find him. He got mad at me when I told him I couldn't give him lessons right now and he took off. KENSHIN! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!!!" Kaoru said as she started to cry. "I never thought that he would take it so hard.I don't hate HIM. Besides the taste in women he has, but not like that.I mean, he had never said that...said that he HATED ME." she cried some more as she looked down at the hankerchief she pulled out of her pocket seconds before.

Kenshin sat down beside her and put his hand around her shoulder."It'll be alright, that it will," he whispered"He won't be gone for too long, that he won't. He'll probably come back when he blows some steam."he said as she leaned into his chest. He then put his head ontop of hers.

"Kenshin, promise you'll never leave. I couldn't bear it. Just promise me that if you do leave that you'll come back. Promise?"Kaoru asked still sniffeling. Then sat up cuz Kenshin walked away. Without saying a word.

#

Yahiko stumbled. He layed there not wanting to get up. He was mad at them. ALL of them. Even Kenshin his "hero".'I have to get them back but I only have 10 yen. What kind of prank materials can I get with 10 yen?Oh well! Serves me right. I am the one that ran off without being prepared'. "Ugh, Kaoru is such a dits! She's so evil."

"Who is evil young man?"said a very familiar voice.

Yahiko turned around and saw Saito.(tall, black haired, cool sword on the left side, and wearing a police outfit)"Oh, hey Saito, whatcha been up too?" said Yahiko. His arms were behind his head and he had a sweat drop rolling down his head.

"Young Man, what is your name, I forgot?And once again who is evil?"Saito asked for a second time.By now he had a tension mark on his head.

"Alright, alright!Sheesh!Don't have a cow. Okay my name is Yahiko and Kaoru...you do know who that is right?"Yahiko asked trying to change the subject.

"Yes I know who that is. WHO IS EVIL!"yelled Saito. He was really ticked off.

"Fine, Kaoru is evil 'cuz she's my teacher at the dojo,"Yahiko replied pointing behind him,"and won't even teach her students. I think she's a horrible teacher so there!hmph!"Yahiko finished. Saito looked at the kid and glanced at where he was pointing."Kenshin lives there doesn't he, uh Yahiko was it?"He said.

"Yah it is and Yes he does. Hey aren't you the guy Sano positively hates?" Yahiko said most certain.He looked up at Saito and notice the left side of his mouth curve up a lil' bit.

"Yep." Saito smirked. He thought that moran should hate him. He was better anyway.

"Not at all...HEY maybe you can help me out. I am looking for materials so I can pull a prank on everyone at the dojo." Yahiko asked.He was determined to pull the greatest prank on them all. Maybe he should invite Misao and Aoshi. And Maybe Megumi! hehehe OH the possibilities.

"I can't, I only have 20 minutes for lunch sorry. Ya know they might have something at the new 5 yen shop." Saito suggested in a tone of voice that totally gave away that he didn't really care.(Did they have lunch breaks back then??probably--;;;)

Yahiko was ticked off at the way that Saito just pushed him away like that. And he came up with a plan."Hey Saito, Kenshin wanted me to tell you that he need a word with you come to the dojo at 5:30pm SHARP! Please come"...

Yahiko walked over to the 5 yen shop and to a peek. The store had so many odds and ends that he was almost positive that he would be able to find something worth while. So he started searching.

#

They were searching. "They" included Kaoru, Kenshin, Sanosuke, and Megumi. "searching" entitled the dojo, the attic, every room (including Kenshin's), the bathroom, the kitchen, the cubboards, and the closets. He was nowhere around that they knew.

"Megumi? Do you think he went into town? I'm PRAYING he is still alive!" Kaoru cried.

" Yes, I am absolutely possitive that he is just fine. I mean YOUR the one that taught him how to defend himself." Megumi answered. She wasn't as positive as she sounded she was afraid.She stood up and walked away. She couldn't stand being near Kaoru when she was as depressed as she was now.She walked over to Kenshin who was check the last closet in the kitchen."Ken, what are we going to do? Yahiko's gone and Kaoru is so depressed- I am really starting to worry!" she told Kenshin.

Kenshin was worried to ' I hope he is truely okay. I too am worried, that I am. What can I say?' " Be patient, Megumi. I somehow know he's alright." 'Yeah that sounded good. How can I lie. tsk tsk tsk.'

Kaoru sat by herself on the doorway again.' I do hope he's alright.I mean we may fight, but I didn't think that it was THAT serious,' She thought. Then she out loud she promised to herself, " If he came back soon I'll never hit him again!"-

"Is that right missy?" said a familiar voice from behind her.

"Oh hey, Sano, Have you found him??" She asked excitedly.

"Not exactly. Some policeman came over here to inform us that he's coming home soon and has a surprise for us." Sano replied."Obviously Saito got a hold of him...GRRRRRR that Saito I STILL WANT A DUEL TO THE END!!!!"

"SHUT UP SANO!"Kaoru cried as she ran to the kitchen.As she reached the Kitchen she saw Kenshin holding a crying Megumi by the shoulders.' WAIT! Hold the phone, why is Kenshin holding her like that!'Kaoru thought jelously as she stomped over toward them. "Kenshin tell her to stop crying!WE FOUND HIM!"She yelled as ripped Megumi off of Kenshin from each other.

"WHA-" both Kenshin and Megumi shouted at the same time. Kenshin looked shocked. Megumi looked in a combination of pissed off and happy.

"He's coming soon so don't fret.He was in town and is coming home with a surprise!" Kaoru cried. ' Thank you GOD THANK YOU!!!!!!' she thought to herself.

Yahiko was fed up with looking and and went up to the clerk." Hey, Ummm, Mister!Do you have any good prank materials here in this shop?" Yahiko asked the clerk.

"Why actually yes we do. We have rubber spiders 5 for 2 yen and we have ummm. OH a rubber mouse over there in that corner and we have something that supposed to make people change bodies for ummm I think two weeks!Right over by Mel, the cook on Alise!"

"Fine I'll take a mouse and that potion thing..."
