"Should we tell her?" Sanosuke stage whispered to Yahiko, only speaking now that Koaru's back was turned.
"No thanks; I like having all my limbs." He muttered in return, eyeing the purple-haired young woman as she continued to stir the stew.
"Well, someone has to tell her." Sanosuke growled back.
"Not me! She'll kill me!" Yahiko glared at the taller man.
"You're closer to her than I am. And you've known her longer." Sanosuke countered, as though it made clear who was going to have to break the news to Koaru... and then be broken.
"But you're suposed to be the big brave fighter!" He grumbled, crossing his arms stubbornly. Sanosuke sighed.
"Together?"
"Alright, together." Yahiko agreed, and both of them stood up. Koaru hummed to herself as she stirred slowly, keeping the food from sticking to the bottom.
"Ah, Koaru? There's, uh, something you should know..." Yahiko coughed, staring at Sanosuke.
"Listen missy, it's, ah, about Kenshin." Koaru sat up straight.
"Is he okay? Did something happen to him?" She demanded, thinking of anything and everything that could've gone wrong.
"No, no Kenshin's fine. It's just that, uh, while he was doing the laundry... he, uh... He ripped some clothes without realising it. In, uh, bad places." Yahiko trailed off, ready to head for the hills as the realization hit Koaru and she felt the bottom of her yukata. Her eyes grew dark and a storm cloud seemed to apear over her head as she calmly walked towards the back yard where Kenshin was folding laundry.
"Do you think he'll survive?" Sanosuke asked, watching Koaru turn the corner. Yahiko shook his head and took a slurp of the stew.
"Not a chance."


I love this one; it would totally fit anywhere in the series!
