Chapter four Hitting on, hitting off...
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Actually, all you've got to do is piss her off rrreeeaaalllyyy bad. Soujirou had to find that out the hard way. "Come back here you smiley little perverted water-soaking freak!" Misao screamed at the top of her lungs to the hapless Tenken, who was stammering apologies.
"Gomengomengomengomengomengomen!!!" Soujirou yelled out, amazed that the female ninja was somehow keeping up with him. Misao noticed this. "Hmm. This guy's pretty fast for a common thief" she thought, but brushed the thought off impatiently as the Tenken went out through the kitchen's back door and into the courtyard. "You're not getting away that easy!" she shouted, going out and resuming chase.
All around the Aoiya the hunt ensued. Okon and Omasu, who were hanging up laundry, felt a sudden gush of wind as the two teenagers ran past them. "Oh, isn't it sweet. They're having a spat..." Okon said, turning to Omasu who only shook her head. "I don't know. Whatever happened to the days when the guy chased the girl." Omasu replied. "Well I think it's cute." Okon said, reaching to her side to the laundry basket, only to find it was gone. "Uh oh..." Okon said, knowing what was in that basket...
"Ara?!?" Soujirou said in surprise as a something suddenly blinded him. Stopping for a while, he grabbed the obstructing fabric from his face. And that soon gave way to... "P-p-p-panties?!?" Soujirou cried out as he felt nosebleed coming on.
However...
"HENTAI!!!"
And so the unsuspecting rurouni was sent into orbit... (Somewhere in the distant future, one Keitaro Urashima shudders. Shrugging it off, he enters the Hinatasou Hot Springs....)
A few minutes later:
A steaming Misao sat beside (though not without protest.) an equally bruised Soujirou, who was amazingly still smiling as the kunoichi bandaged the Tenken. "Well, I see you've met Seta-san, Misao." Okina said with a small smile, though in the back of his head he was laughing his pants off.
"Ah, so you are *urk* the talented *eep* chef that made those delectable *oww* American sausages." Soujirou said, smiling through the pain as Misao bound his chest rather tightly. "There. Done." Misao said ignoring the rurouni's compliment as she finished wrapping his injuries. "Seta-san. May you please go out for a moment? Misao and I have to talk privately." Okina said, the mischevious twinkle in his eye returning. "Oh, okay..." Soujirou replied, inwardly suspecting that the old man was up to something.
As Soujirou went out to the garden, Misao's short fuse finally ran out. "Jiya! What's that guy doing here!" she said glaring at the old man. "Oh come now, Misao. Just because the I *ahem* Seta-san accidentally came into possession with a pair of a ladies unmentionables doesn't mean he's perverted..." Okina said a little too quickly. Misao noticed the little slip-up but decided to ignore it.
"Anyways, as the Okashira of the Oniwabanshu, it is your responsibility to look after the well being of all the people under the employ of the Aoiya, including Soujirou." Okina said with finality. "WHAT?!? I CAN'T-." Misao was about to say, but a thought flickered through her head. "Did you say his name was Soujirou?" Misao questioned, as if tasting the name. Okina caught this. "Yes, Soujirou. Do you know him, Misao?" he asked with his eyebrow quirked. "Yeah, well, that name's familiar and everything, but..." Misao trailed off, wondering why the bumbling rurouni seemed so familiar. "Good, that means you can show him the ropes." Okina interrupted, standing up. "Wha?!" Misao said in surprise. "Alright, you guys get re-acquainted. I've got some pant...err, papers to go through." the old man said and quickly went out the door. Realizing that she had just been set up, Misao let out a frustrated scream.
"JIIYAAAAA!!!"
Just Outside:
Soujirou was tapping his foot as he wondered what was happening in the room. Suddenly, Okina burst out. "All-right,-she's-all-yours-.Gotta'- go.-Bye!" the old spy said, shooting off like a bullet in the other direction. "What was that all about..." Soujirou muttered, his arms crossed.
He didn't have much time to dwell on it, though, as a furious Misao came stomping out through the shoji-door. "Ara, Misao-donno. Do you know why Okina-san took off in such a hurry?" Soujirou said, once again his goofy grin alighting on his visage. Misao shot daggers, knives, stilettos, scalpels, and flying pink elephants at the object of her misfortune, her eyebrow twitching rapidly.
Sensing a teeny bit of aggression, Soujirou racked his brain for a remedy to the situation. "Yumi said that compliments always help calm women down..." Soujirou thought hastily, never once thinking that maybe Misao'll take it the wrong way.
"Uh, you know Misao. You're cute when you're angry." Soujirou said in full confidence. Misao's anger suddenly dissipated, replaced with a look of curiosity. "Did you just hit on me, Soujirou?" she asked, her eyebrow quirked playfully. "Umm, is 'hit on' a good thing?" Soujirou said, getting a tad uncomfortable at the look Misao gave him. "In some cases, yeah." she replied. "Well then, if that's true, then I'll 'hit on' you with all my heart." the Tenken smiled. That's when Misao burst out laughing. Soujirou only tilted his head. "Did I say something funny?" he thought as the ninja rolled on the floor in gales of laughter.
Author's Notes: I get the feeling that this chapter is a bit rushed. I can't believe I did a classical Japanese panty mishap. Looks like that evil author in me is coming out more often than expected. Oh well. Like I've said, Soujirou fics are popping up everywhere, and if you check the Soujirou section of RK you'll see one of them, an RK Love Hina crossover, has popped up in the RK vault as well. It's kind of funny thinking that I got this scene from a Love Hina I recently read. Back to Misao and Soujirou. At least they're on friendlier terms now. That will give me something to work with. I might be late in the next few updates cause of school projects. Damn French teachers from hell...
Finally, time for the review responses.
Lord Sho- Thanks for the advice. I've turned off the "No anonymous reviews" setting. Yep, I've seen the SouXMisao pairings, but a lot more have popped up since I last visited. I'll check out those stories you recommended too.
Chaosu- Heh, I think the pink apron was good too. Doesn't Kenshin also wear the pink apron in one point of the manga? I can't remember. Well, it's good to know that a lot of kabayan think that this pairing will work. Yes, maybe I am delaying the inevitable, but that's only because I didn't know how to get these two on good terms. Thank God for panties. Anyway, now that I've put struck at least one match, I think a fire will be coming along soon.
Eikou- Yeah, Aoshi is a rock, but he's a cool rock. He'll be playing a role soon enough in this story. Misao and Soujirou did see each other at the village, but probably nothing more than a passing glance. Don't worry about not seeing them as a couple. Check out the character settings and see if all those other Misao/Soujirou fics might change your mind.
roxyravette- Nice of you to drop by. Yeah, Sou is cute. I'm glad that you're starting to get into this pairing. Hope you review again.
Alright, that's it for me. Keep pressing the review button. Until next time. You know who wrote this -FPotM
