Author's Notes: Well, I'm running out of things to say here. I got the idea for this fic from a lot of other, similar fics I've read. This is my first fanfic with multiple chapters. Joy upon all joys! And if you will enjoy reading this as much as I've enjoyed daydreaming it up in class, YAY!
Disclaimer: I did not create and therefore do not own Rurouni Kenshin. In light of this some of the characters will probably be OOC. But isn't that what fanfics are all about?
Fever Days and Sleepless Nights
Prologue thingy
Sanosuke dropped the last unconscious guy to the ground on top of the heap. "There."
"They are all unconscious, that they are," observed Kenshin.
"Bakas got what they deserved," Sano replied. "They shouldn't have tried to gang up on us."
"We'd better get back to the dojo before Kaoru-dono starts to worry," said his red-haired companion, rain dripping off his bangs.
"Yeah," agreed the tori-atama, his rooster style hair looking flat and wet. Kenshin picked up the tofu bucket Kaoru had sent him to pick up, and they turned and headed back to the dojo, already drenched as they had been fighting in the pouring rain. As they neared the dojo it began to rain harder and they heard the distant rumble of thunder. Sano swore. "Jou-chan's gonna be out of her mind!"
They reached the dojo and got inside just as lightning lit up the sky. They stood, dripping a pool of water onto the floor and looking sideways at each other. In a matter of seconds Kaoru was upon them, fire in her eyes.
"WHERE have you BEEN?" she screeched, and the famous bokken appeared, as usual hitting its target square on the head. An oro-ing Kenshin went down with swirly eyes, and Kaoru rounded on Sanosuke, who held up his hands.
"Take it easy, Jou-chan! We got what you wanted." Sano held up the tofu bucket. "But then a bunch of thugs decided to jump us on our way back, and we got caught in the rain."
Kaoru was still mad, but her anger subsided and she brought them both a towel to dry themselves off with as Sano hauled Kenshin to his feet. She settled with glaring at the wet pair as they dried themselves.
"Stupid bakas," she muttered. "I won't be surprised if you two both catch cold."
"We'll be fine, Jou-chan," Sano assured her. "It's just a little rain."
