Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.
AN: Sorry it's taken so long for me to update! School has been absolutely crazy. And umm… Sprite is one of my real somewhat crazy friends that wanted to be in here. And she has a thing about Shonen ai… you'll see.
Chapter 2
"We have to get out of here! They're going to arrive soon." Ria yelled out to the camera crew. They had been working frantically for the past few hours to make sure that the house was to the guests liking. But more so to Monigue's liking. Which meant it had to be absolutely and completely bugged.
The crew finished wiring up all the cameras and microphones and stormed out of the apartment. In the control room, a dozen monitors light up with empty hallways all around the house. Monigue leaned back in her chair, gazing at the monitors. She smiled slightly. If anything was going on in the house, they were going to know about it.
The cab arrived first at Kenshin and Sanosuke's house. A rather hyper looking woman bounded out of the car and rung the doorbell.
"Yes?" Kenshin answered. He was slouched over, his haired messed up. He had obviously just woken up.
"I'm the driver from the Trainee! I'm here to take you to the apartment." Sprite beamed.
"At…" Kenshin looked down at his watch. "Five in the morning? Isn't it a little early?"
"Hey, don't blame me for whatever the producers want you to do. This is the time they told me to come." Sprite glowered. "Now get your friend. I have five other apartments to hit before seven."
"Five other apartments? Your cab only looks like it has room for four." Responded a bewildered looking Kenshin.
"Well, three of the guests are coming in from out of state and Monigue thought it'd be a waste to send out more than one cab to get people from around the city. So you folks will just have to get cozy!" Sprite smiled. Very wide. Just a little too wide. "Now please call your friend so we can get moving!"
"Hey Sano!" Kenshin called upstairs. "Our ride is here."
A muffled thump was heard from the upstairs as Sanosuke hit the ground. Sleepily he shuffled down the stairs, mumbling profanity. He did not notice as Sprite began to tremble.
"O-o-o-ORPHEN!" She howled and quickly threw herself at him. Sanosuke looked down through half open eyes at the girl that had cemented herself to him.
"Orphen-what? Sanosuke. Too early morning." Sanosuke muttered, peeling the squirming Sprite off him. Kenshin knew that five in the morning was far to early in the morning for anything that Sanosuke said to make sense. Sprite coughed.
"Um. Yes. Mm-hm. Sorry about that. I thought that you were someone else." Sprite apologized, rubbing the back of her neck. Now if I could just find Yuri and Orphen. What if they got together? God, that'd be hot…Sprite thought out loud under her breath.
"What were you saying, Miss?" An already bright eyed Kenshin inquired of Sprite. Sprite shook of her trance.
"Nothing. Now if you could please get into the cab, we'll be sending someone to take care of you're things later." Sprite was beaming again. Sanosuke's eye twitched.
"To early to early to early." Sanosuke mumbled his mantra under his breath as they trundled out to the car.
"We're here!" Sprite called back happily to the two shell shocked males.
"Did you have to go so fast?" Kenshin stuttered, eyes wide and twitching.
"To early… to early… make it stop…" Sanosuke repeated, looking like he was on the verge of going into fetal position.
"Next is Mr. Aoshi Shinomori!" Sprite was practically vibrating. "I'll go get him." She bounded up the apartment. Sanosuke and Kenshin watched her with a mixture of awe and absolute horror. Sprite knocked loudly on the door.
Aoshi opened the door fully dressed, looking like he had already been up for several hours. Sprite looks down at her clipboard.
"Aoshi Shinomori… someone so beautiful its frightening." She looked up at Aoshi, then down at the clipboard, than up at Aoshi again. "Found him! Now, if you could please step out to the car, I'm your ride to the set of the Trainee."
"I thought you would be arriving later." Aoshi stated coldly.
He's just like Yuki. Sprite looked like she was about to faint. "Sir, is it possible that you could dye your hair blond and start to wear gold color contacts?" Sprite asked hopefully.
"No." Aoshi replied, and headed out to the car.
Hey, it was worth a shot. Sprite shrugged.
By the next stop (which they reached incredibly quickly because of Sprites insane driving,) Kenshin had started to twitch and Oro repeatedly. Sanosuke was looking like he was about to get sick. Even Aoshi looked a little uneasy in the passenger seat. However, it was what Sprite was asking him and not her driving that was worrying him.
"Pleeeease can't you just kiss Sanosuke. I'm only asking for one time!" Sprite tried using her puppy dog eyes on Aoshi, who's eyes were filling more and more with confusion and fright. Aoshi had faced many people in his life. Few had disturbed him as deeply as this girl.
"Come on. For me?" Sprite whimpered.
"No. Is this our next stop?" Aoshi asked, motioning towards the building and trying to distract Sprites attention.
"Why yes it is!" Sprite exclaimed. "Megumi Takani. Misao Machimaki is right next door, so we'll get her next." Aoshi's eyes widened almost impecibly at the mention of the name. Misao is on the show? He thought, maintaining a perfectly straight face.
Sprite in the meantime had exploded out of the car and bounded up the door. She knocked vigorously, her smiling never faltering. Megumi opened the door, dressed in a very tight fitting suit that showed of her almost lethal curves. Her hair was down and messy and her hair was a lacquered red color. Her mouth was upturned in a devilish smile.
"Hello! I'm Sprite, and I'm going to be your driver to the Trainee set." Sprite led her quickly over to the car, opening the door next to Sanosuke. Megumi raised her eyebrow slightly as she regarded the three attractive men sitting in the car. Her smile grew wider.
"Move over Orph-Sanosuke." Sprite commanded, pushing the still drowsy man on the shoulder.
"No, its fine. I'll take the middle." Megumi stated. Before anyone could protest she proceeded to crawl over Sanosuke. A tired Sanosuke was suddenly presented with a very attractive woman wiggling across his lap.
Finally she settled into the middle seat, in between the two dazed and confused men besides her. She turned to Kenshin and studied him closely, and then began to smile.
"Why hello. My names Megumi. What's your name?"
"Kenshin." A somewhat frightened Kenshin responded. Sanosuke sunk down his seat and observed yet another pretty woman be inexplicably attracted to Kenshin.
"I'll call you Ken!" Megumi exclaimed, flinging her arms around Kenshin.
"Geez, I've just met you and already I know you're easy." Sanosuke rolled his eyes.
"What did you say?" Megumi turned away from Kenshin to face Sanosuke. She looked like she might kill him.
"Nothing." Sanosuke muttered.
"You know what? Your hair is funny." She giggled, then poked at his large mane of spiked hair. "Its like a roosters. That's what I'll call you, you jerk. Rooster." Megumi smiled evilly.
"I'd rather be a rooster than a vixen. That's what you are." Sanosuke snorted. Kenshin just sat back and watched the two continue to bicker over stupid things.
"I'm back!" Sprite had indeed returned. She dragged a rather discombobulated looking girl behind her. "This is Misao."
"Aoshi?" Asked the surprised looking Misao.
"Misao." Aoshi responded, barely tilting his head to look at her.
"Well since you two are already so friendly, you can share a seat."
"What?!" Misao exclaimed, blushing furiously.
"We don't have any more room in back. And the front seat is the biggest." Sprite replied.
"There's no room besides me." Aoshi stated coldly.
"Then she'll just have to sit on your lap!" Chirped Sprite. Misao at this point was bright red, and Sprite swore that she could make out a light pink flush to Aoshi's face as Misao slid onto his lap.
"Next stop is the Kamiya Studio." Sprite smiled, then began to drive again. Misao, thinking that she was going to die in a few seconds, threw her arms around Aoshi and closed her eyes.
"Misao?" Aoshi asked, an eyebrow raised slightly. "Despite the fact Sprite came close to hitting a few pedestrians and is doing about twice the speed limit, she appears not to be about to crash."
"Oh."
"You can… get off me now."
"Right. Right." Agrees the blushing Misao. Megumi in the back of the car had used the opportunity to throw herself onto the flustered Kenshin.
"Oh Kenshin! What do we do if we crash! Would you save me?" Megumi purred.
"This is pathetic." Muttered Sanosuke.
"We're he-re!" Sprite chimed and got out of the car to knock on the door of the Kamiya Studio.
"Why hello!" Kaoru beamed, opening the door.
"Hi! I'm Sprite! I'm here to take you to the apartments of the Trainee.
"O-okay." Kaoru replied. Damn, I thought she was going to be a student.
"You can sit right here." Sprite says, opening the door on Kenshin's side.
"But… someone is already sitting there." Said a very confused Kaoru.
"Yes. I suppose someone is. You'll just have to sit on his lap!" Sprite replied, pushing Kaoru on top of Kenshin.
"Kenshin, Kaoru. Kaoru, Kenshin."
"Hi." Said a remotely squished Kenshin.
"Only one more stop!" Sprite cried, looking down on her watch. "And I only have five more minutes! And it's all the way across the city! I'll really have to floor it to get there."
"What were you doing before?" Sanosuke asked, his eye twitching.
"I was going at a normal speed. Wasn't I?" Sprite asked obliviously.
"Sweet Jesus…" Sanosuke muttered under his breath, eyes wide.
They made it across town in three minutes. It was the most terrifying experience of all the members of the cab's life. And some of them had seen a lot in their lifetimes.
"I'll go get Saitou!" Sprite decided, getting out of the car.
"Wait… Saitou? Where the hell are we going to but another guy?" Sanosuke wonders. The members of the car look at each other, deeply concerned.
"Okay Saitou! You're our last stop, so we'll be going right to the apartments now." Sprite said cheerily, leading along the very tall man named Saitou.
"Where will I be sitting?" Inquired Saitou.
"Interesting question. I don't think that you'll fit into the car as is." Sprite mused. She looked at the roof of the car, then back at Saitou, then back at the roof of the car. "I have an idea…"
"You strapped him to the roof of the car?" Monigue asked sprite, obviously dubious.
"Yep." Sprite smiled.
"Isn't that illegal?"
"Probably."
"Well, I like it. Just try not to let this leak too much, huh?" Monigue smiled devilishly. Again she turned her eyes to the monitors in front of her, watching the cast members who were very busy settling in.
"This is gonna be fun." Muttered Monigue.
AN: I lost… my freaking… outline. It will take me a while to get the next chapter up. And I have to write a new outline. The end of this was a little rushed, but I really wanted to get it out. I hope that you like it!
Orphen is a character from the show sorcerous stabber orphen, and yuki is from Gravitation. I own neither.
