Chapter 4…The troubles of Kenshin and Kaoru
Kaoru sighed happily and leaned against Kenshin. She did miss her son…but it WAS nice to get away from all the troubles, worries, and tears of the dojo and motherhood…She and Kenshin were in an excellent hotel in Osaka, very much enjoying their late honeymoon. They were sitting on their super-sized bed next to each other while Kenshin read his book and Kaoru was lost in her own thoughts.
Kenshin suddenly set down his books asked, "Are you enjoying our little vacation?"
Kaoru nodded and Kenshin smiled when suddenly they heard a shriek.
"What on earth was that?"
"It sounds like it came from the other room…"
Kenshin and Kaoru both sat up in the bed and turned so they were facing the wall behind them, which was the wall to the room next to them. They continued to hear several other noises that were made during…cough 'explicit intercourse'
Kaoru groaned and said, "Eeeww! That's just sick! I don't wanna hear THAT! Kenshin!"
Kenshin sighed, though he also looked rather disturbed and said, "Shall we…find another place to stay, then?"
…………………………………………………………………………………
Kaoru sighed happily once again. This time, NOTHING could go wrong. Kenshin had found a nice, little inn by a beach and they chose to relax there. Kaoru was sitting by the shore, lost in her thoughts once more while Kenshin was fishing happily and whistling a little tune.
Kenshin felt a sudden jerk at the other side of his fishing line. Getting excited, he yelled, "Kaoru! I have a really big one!"
Kaoru, still sitting in her spot, cheered him on.
"Yay! Pull it in, pull it in!"
Kenshin yanked the fishing pole…unfortunately for him, he yanked it too hard and out of the beach came flying a large clump of jellyfish that were all huddled/stuck together. The fishing line, having been jerked so hard and fast out of the water, smacked the jellyfish straight into Kenshin's face.
There was a sudden burst of electricity and…
"OROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
……………………………………………………………………………………
Groaning under Kenshin's weight, Kaoru continued to half-drag her now very…uh…VERY injured husband to their next hotel. The little encounter with that oh-so-evil clump of jellyfish had left Kenshin rather…unhealthy…and wrapped up in bandages. To Kaoru's surprise, they ended up in front of another large inn that was right in front of a lake.
"Kenshin? Why are we here? Didn't those jellyfish kind of…scar you for life? You know…haunt you forever?" She questioned her husband incredulously.
Kenshin merely smirked.
"This isn't over yet, that it isn't."
Noticing Kaoru's sweatdrops, Kenshin quickly grinned childishly so he wouldn't seem TOO insane. Kaoru sighed and moved them towards the inn, which turned out to be quite pleasant…Kenshin, however, quickly pulled out his fishing rod and ran out to the back of the inn, where the entrance to the lake was.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
"All right, you sons-of-bitches. You no-good-sons-of-bitches…" Kenshin muttered angrily, his fishing line in the water, patiently waiting for another evil jellyfish…
Kaoru sighed.
"You DO know that jellyfish PROBABLY don't live in lakes…"
Kenshin ignored her until he suddenly felt another jerk at the end of his line.
"AHA!"
And apparently (or miraculously), Kenshin HAD NOT learned from his last mistake and he quickly jerked the fishing line towards him. Unfortunately, whatever fish was pulling on the line really WAS a no-good-son-of-bitch and proceeded to drag Kenshin into the lake, along with his fishing line. Kenshin was not happy. And even though he was getting dragged into the lake, Kenshin dragged himself back onto shore and once again jerked the fishing line. As before, the fishing line hauled, whatever had dragged him into the lake, straight into his face.
That thing happened to be a swordfish.
"OROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
And who knew that swordfish lived in lakes?
……………………………………………………………………………………
And so passed a few more days in the sad, and slightly painful, lives of Kenshin and Kaoru. And after 18 bruises, 2 head traumas, 6 serious cuts, 2 broken ribs, a sprained ankle, and some type of fish STD, Kenshin decided that the Kenshin-versus-those-goddamn-fish-game should come to an end. And that he and Kaoru would spend another week or two at a peaceful little inn that was NOWHERE near any large bodies of water.
And all was well.
…Until Kenshin couldn't help himself…Kaoru was getting nervous at the way Kenshin was glaring at his sushi, the dinner that was being served to the couple.
"Um…Kenshin?"
"Yes, Kaoru-dear?"
And before Kaoru could ask, Kenshin stuffed his entire plate of sushi into his mouth, hence completing his revenge.
