An Interview with the RK cast
Chapter two: The Second Time…Take One
------------------------------------------------------
Everyone was enjoying the peacefulness of the early afternoon. As they ate their lunch (after they banned Kaoru from entering the kitchen); the Kenshin-gumi exchanged pleasant chats…
Not knowing that right at this very minute; I, Wolf Sapphire, had just entered the Kamiya dojo where they reside.
Like my animal ensigna; I crept like a predator towards my unsuspecting prey…
All the while; thanking Kami that, since I am a writer, I have the right to block out their creepy, ki-searching thingy-do that most anime characters have.
Slowly; I slid to the shadows like a ninja and then…
(AN: Okay, from now on; I'm going to refer to myself as a third person.)
Sapphire pushed a button in her universal remote and cued in the scary noises.
She smirked as the Kenshin-gumi looked up in alarm. The teen then pushed another button and the room went dark…
"WHAT THE HELL?!?!"
Sapphire smirked and took out her flashlight. Slowly, she crept up behind Kenshin since he was the only one she can see with his red hair and all.
She readied herself as she reached out a hand to tap the redhead firmly in the shoulder.
In the split second that it took Kenshin to turn around; Sapphire held her flashlight underneath her face and turned it on; all the while making scary faces.
"BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!!!"
"ARGH!!!"
"YAHH!!!!"
Trashing could be heard about in the dining area as the occupants scattered around. Some tried to head for the exit door which unfortunately for them; had been bolted shut. (Guess by whom? (winks))
Aoshi, who was the calmest of the group, had enough common sense left to switch on the lights.
Light flooded the room and the Kenshin-gumi looked down to see Sapphire rolling on the ground; laughing her head off.
Sapphire mustered the strength to sit up; tears of laughter falling down her cheeks.
"If only you guys could've seen your faces!" She managed to mutter out before she began another fit of uncontrollable giggles.
She ignored the glowering glares being thrown at her by the Kenshin-gumi.
"SAPPHIRE!!!"
Sapphire stopped laughing and snapped her eyes open. The first thing that crossed her mind was…
O oh…
Sapphire gave a nervous grin as she saw everyone take out their weapons of choice. (Megumi's being a broom).
"Err…Hey guys…Can't you take a joke?" She laughed nervously.
Sano merely smirked and cracked his knuckles.
Sapphire gulped as she saw the look in their eyes. They looked murderous…especially Kenshin.
"Err…Kenshin," She started, glancing at the redhead who looked ready to turn Battousai.
"Remember…your non-killing vow."
"What 'non-killing vow' Sapphire-dono?" asked Kenshin sweetly…a little too sweet.
"AIIEEE!!!"
Sapphire shrieked as the popular RK characters vaulted over the table and so began their merry chase.
Passersby looked on in amazement as they saw a young adolescent woman running down the street like a plague was after her with a small group of young women; young men (Kenshin isn't young but he sure looks like it!) and a boy welding various weapons sprinting after said woman.
People coughed as they inhaled the large clouds of dust the group left behind.
They shook their heads in dismay. Some even sighed.
Young people these days.
--------------------------------------------------------------
After threats of bodily-harm and promises of unwanted-pairings if they don't quit it; Sapphire and the Kenshin-gumi finally settled themselves at the walkway outside the dojo's training hall.
It came as no surprise that Sapphire had chosen to sit besides Aoshi; him being the most level-headed of the group right now.
She wouldn't want to have another marathon going with her as the finishing line.
Sapphire coughed loudly to gain their attention…which wasn't that hard since they were still glaring death at her although both Kenshin and Aoshi seemed to have calmed down.
"Let's get started then."
Without further ado; Sapphire placed a voice recorder at the center of the table.
The Kenshin-gumi stared at it with interest; never having seen anything like it before.
"What's that?" asked Misao as she poked the small black box-like thingy.
Sapphire shooed the weasel ninja's hand away.
"Careful! It's a voice recorder; a common gadget from my world." She answered.
"What does it do?" asked Sano as he peered at it with narrowed eyes.
Sapphire opened her mouth to explain when a sudden thought crossed her mind and her eyes gleamed devilishly.
"Well you see Sano…" She started. "It's a voice-stealer. You just say something to it and it'll steal your voice…forever."
Sapphire said the last word with a dramatic flair.
The Kenshin-gumi's eyes widened.
"You're k-k-kidding Sapphire. Voices can't be stolen…" Sano stammered.
Sapphire smirked evilly.
"You want proof? So be it."
Sapphire reached out to press the stop button on the voice recorder and then rewind it to the part where Sano said for the last time.
Unnoticed by them; Sapphire sneaked her other hand at the pocket of her jeans and pulled out her remote control.
The teen stopped the rewinding and pressed play.
"You're k-k-kidding Sapphire. Voices can't be stolen…" boomed Sano's voice in the tiny speakers.
Quick as lightning; Sapphire held her remote at Sano's direction and pressed mute.
Sano opened his mouth to scream but realized to his horror that his voice was gone!
His brown eyes widened and he grasped his throat in outmost shock and horror.
"ARGH!!!!" screamed the other members of the Kenshin-gumi; scared out of their wits.
"His voice! It's gone!" exclaimed a frightened Kaoru.
Sapphire hid a smirk as she placed her remote back in the pockets of her jeans.
Whoah…When they advertised that it's universal; they mean it!
The mischievous writer basked herself at the silliness around her as Sano had a panic attack.
Currently; the lovable Rooster-head was brawling his eyes out…well it would be considered brawling if he could speak.
Just then; the dojo gates burst opened and in came the rest of the hardy cast of Rurouni Kenshin.
Sapphire pressed a button and cued in the dramatical entrance music.
Both Hiko and Saitou lifted an eyebrow as they heard the music. Shogo remained unfazed; already used to weird things happening. Enishi nudged his crimson-colored eyelids back up his nose as he glanced around him; trying to see where the strange music came from. Soujiro merely smiled his eerie smile while Yumi snug closer to Shishio. Kamatari, Cho, Sayo, Tokio, Tae, Tsubame, Okina and the rest of the Onibawashuu (including Hanyaa and the others) as well as several others whom I can't remember; entered the dojo's dwellings.
"Orororororororo!" moaned Kenshin as he looked at the size of the crowd that stormed inside the dojo.
"What are you all doing here, de gozaru?" He asked.
Hiko bonked his former apprentice on the head; earning smirks from Enishi; Shishio; Saitou and Shogo.
"Baka deshi." He muttered. "You invited us remember?"
"ORORORORORORORO!!!"
Saitou glanced at poor Sano who was still brawling and smirked.
"What happened to you?"
Sano stopped his charading to glare stonily at the Mibu Wolf. He mouthed his lips as if to say.
"Mind you own business, Wolf."
Saitou cocked up and eyebrow.
"What's wrong Rooster-head? Can't you speak anymore?"
The serious looks on the Kenshin-gumi's face confirmed Saitou's question.
Cho chuckled. "Well thank Kami-sama for that!"
"I could just kiss the one who did this to him!" The blonde-haired man quipped.
Sano pointed an accusing finger at Sapphire; who merely fluttered her eyes innocently.
However; the playful smirk in her face dissolved any thought of innocence that she might've radiated.
Aoshi was having his own problems. His ice blue eyes lightened and widened slightly as he glanced at his former teammates…which he might add were dead the last time he'd checked.
As if reading his mind; Sapphire pointed out.
"Being a fanfic author has its' perks. We can bring to life almost anyone…"
Then her voice lowered. "And we can bring anyone to death as well…"
"Sister…" muttered Enishi sadly as he glanced at Sapphire. "Sister…"
He took a step forward towards Sapphire.
"Mou! He thinks that you're his sister, Sapphire!" whispered Kaoru to the teen.
Sapphire's face took in a look of surprise…then disgust.
"WHAT?!?! THAT'S BULLSHIT!!"
Sapphire took out her remote and pointed it at Enishi who was coming closer towards her.
"One more step; pretty-boy and I'll delete you permanently." She growled seriously.
"And I don't care how hot I think you are!" She ranted. "I am not Tomoe! I look nothing like her!"
Aoshi grumbled to himself, yet the others could still hear it.
"She doesn't like the woman as well."
In her haste to stand up; Sapphire pressed the mute button once more and Sano was finally able to speak again.
"I can speak again! Halleluhiah! I can speak again!!" The spiky-haired man cheered.
The majority of the cast rolled their eyes as the few minority smiled at Sano's rejoicing.
Kenshin was beginning to get fed up. Through gritted teeth; he growled.
"Would anyone care to explain why you'll all here?"
Chaos soon issued as nearly everyone spoke up; hearing the thinly-veiled threat dripped in the furious Rurouni's words.
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!!!!"
The others turned to face a ruffled-up Battousai.
Glaring stonily at them (although his eyes softened a bit when they met Kaoru's); Battousai muttered slowly.
"Could anyone please explain all of this shit?"
Sapphire blew the bangs from her face and replied.
"I can. I invited them all here to do the interview."
Battousai glared stonily at the teen. Sapphire, however, remained unfazed.
Instead she returned his glare with her own before she shifted slowly to look at everyone else around the room.
"Now, if everyone could kindly find a place to sit down and keep quiet; I can continue with the interview."
At her commanding glare; everyone in the RK cast scurried to find their seats.
Sapphire smiled smugly as soon as she saw that everyone had sat down and the noise volume lowered to a minimum.
She clapped her hands together in glee as a happy grin etched itself on her lips.
"Now…let's start again once more…"
To be continued
