A/N: bwahahaahahaa... oke all of those who have been reading and review my stories have probably lost faith in my writing ability (and my ability to post asap ;;;) but I thank all of you anyways because... well because I simply like people commenting on my work (it makes me feel less invisible) out of the entire gazillions of fanfics writers out there... hmm... well this chapter may really surprise you... hehehehe...

Chapter 16 THE END OF RANDOM THINGS (dun dun dun)

It was another beautiful day and Kenshin was once again out to buy some tofu for the daily healthy diet of his friends. It was rather OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT THING?!

Kenshin looked up to see... nothing. There was nothing out of the ordinary going on. So he kept walking. Something, however, kept nagging him. Something was not right. Something was not normal. He ignored the feeling and walked on.

Soon the tofu shop came into view. Again, the feeling of uncertainty arose within the sandlot samurai and he began to feel a bit nervous. The shopkeeper was the same. The customers were the same. What in the world was going on...?

So he bought some tofu and began his trip back to Kaoru-dono's place. But suddenly it hit him. He knew what was wrong. He knew. And when the idea had sunken in, he screamed. HE SCREAMED.

"WHY AM I SPEAKING WITH QUOTATION MARKS AND NOT COLONS!!!! WHY AM I DOING THINGS WITH ACTUAL PHRASES AND NOT ASTERIKSES??? WHYYYYYYY!!!!???"

Panicked, Kenshin quicken his pace. Everything was normal. And that's what bugged him. All the random things that usually stalked him were gone.

SPLASH

He dropped the tofu. The innocent bystanders whispered as he ran off.

"Where are you going?" called a young boy.

"TO FIND THE INSANITY AND BRING IT BACK!"

"Why?"

"I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!! I MUST FIND IT!!! THE WORLD OF ALL INSANITY DEPENDS ON IT!!!"

He skidded to a stop. Lost. In... the Grand Canyon? Now this was strange. Perhaps some of the insanity was returning.

"Sigh... I have lost my insanity that I have... and my un-kenshin-like ideas too... what I would give for a frozen cucumber right now..."

And Suddenly, a GIANT SHADOW loomed overhead.

To be continued...

A/n: hehehehe... not telling what will happen. I will update again when I get a few more reviews... or maybe just tomorrow hopefully...
