Here's a short, yet purposeful chapter. I had forgotten that I had completed this and that it was all ready to go. So I thought "What the hell, I'll post it anyway and give the readers something to do." So that's what I did. You see? Everything I do is for all you wonderful readers out in fanfiction world. Hugs to you all!

Mikey appears in the doorway of Bubbles' room, "Can I do the disclaimer?"

"Sure, go right ahead."

"Wait!" Sunny yelled as he ran into the room sending Mikey flying "You said I could do the disclaimer."

"I did? Oh yeah!" slaps forehead

"So now what do we do?" asked Mikey while rubbing a big bump on his head.

"Hmm, how about Sunny does the disclaimer this time and Mikey does it next chapter?"

"Okay."

"Fine by me."

Sunny: Bubbles over there doesn't own anything accept most of the junk in her room. She doesn't even own the computer she's using. All rights to Rurouni Kenshin belong to its creators.

The next day, as promised, Sarah and Kenny both arrived at the Kamiya dojo, and they were both in Japanese attire. Kenny was wearing a forest green gi while Sarah was wearing a white kimono with a purple obi but this was not what the occupants of the Kamiya dojo noticed first. What they noticed was that both of them now had creamy white skin and one could easily see that they weren't any wearing makeup.

"Are you guys all set?"

"Yes, we're ready but we'll have to wait until Aoshi and Misao return from the train station. They are seeing off the rest of the Oniwabanshuu." Kaoru replied

"Alright."

The pair sat down on the porch and Kenny pulled a narrow box from the sleeve of his gi. He opened it and removed a wooden flute from inside. After rolling it around in his fingers for a bit, he raised it to his lips, closed his eyes, and played.

Everyone stopped what they were doing to listen.

The melody was a sweet one and it was different from the airy sound of the Japanese flute that they were used to hearing. They listened as the sound increased and decreased, the tempo changing with it and soon, it began to remind them of water flowing down a stream.

After a while, the sound become softer and softer until finally it stopped and Kenny opened his eyes to see them all staring at him, in a sort of dream state. He also noticed that Aoshi and Misao had been standing at the gate, listening to his serenade. He smiled.

Works every time.

"Well, why don't we get going now?"

Yahiko stood up first.

"Just where exactly are we going?"

"To our base, so that we can prove that we're telling the truth."

"And just where is this so called 'base'?"

"It's on the other side of town, past the Akebeko."

"Fine, that means we can drop Tsubame off on the way."

He turned and walked out of the courtyard, and everyone else followed.

Before they left the dojo, Saitou pulled Aoshi, Kenshin and Sanosuke aside.

"You should already know what I'm about to tell you but since we have the rooster here I might as well say it. They may not seem dangerous but after seeing that girl take that attacker down with one hit I don't think we should let our guards down."

"I guess we should trust your canine instinct, shouldn't we?" Sano retorted, being a bit ticked off for being called a rooster.

"Yes. At least now we know that bird-brain of yours isn't completely useless."

"Why you —"

"I think we should catch up with the others that we should."

They hurried off, Saitou smirking, Sano muttering curses under his breath and Aoshi shaking his head at both of them. (A/N: In this story Aoshi's lightened up a bit since he told Misao how he loved her [ -yay!] and they got married. How could he not? It's Misao we're talking about here.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After dropping off both Tokio and Tsubame at their homes, they had continued walking past the town and where Sanosuke used to live. (He and Megumi now live in a house in somewhere between the dojo and clinic.)

Soon Sarah, who was leading the group left the road, and turned onto a path in the woods before they reached a bridge that went over a stream. This surprised Sanosuke because he had gone fishing in the stream countless times and he had never seen this path before.

After walking for about 10 more minutes, they reached a large field and saw an average looking house situated in its center. Beside it they saw a man and a woman that looked to be his wife plowing the field. They looked up when they heard the group coming and they jumped into salute when they caught site of Sarah and Kenny.

"As you were."

They returned to their plowing, while the rest of the group eyed them.

Kenny walked up the steps and held the door open.

"It's right in here, just follow Sarah."

One by one they all entered the house, Kenshin with one hand on his sword and the other on Kaoru's shoulder as she in turn held Kenji. Normally they would've have left the boy at Dr. Genzai's but they weren't going to take any chances.

To their surprise the house was perfectly normal on the inside as well. They followed Sarah into a bedroom and watched a she moved the mattress and revealed a wooden door in the floor.

"Hey, what's that?"

Sarah looked up at the little boy and smiled.

"You're about to find out Kenji-san."

With that she removed a small blue card from her obi and lifted the door. Underneath, there seemed to be another door, this one made of a shiny metal, with a handle, what appeared to be two small glass bumps, and a small slit in between them.

Sarah inserted the blue card into the slit, causing one of the bumps to light up with a red color. She then grasped the handle and began to turn it clockwise. The handle stopped with a click and the second bump lit up green. The door opened and they could see a flight of steps descending down into darkness.

"Well, we're almost there and I'm going to have to ask you not to touch anything since people are working."

She then began to descend the steps. The others looked at each other warily causing Kenny to chuckle.

"Don't worry. There's nothing to be afraid of." sounding as if he were talking to children.

Saitou regarded the boy for a moment before going down the steps himself. He refused to be treated as if he was some kind of coward.

The others soon followed suit and Kenny being the last one shut the door behind him, plunging them all into darkness.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: Oh!!!!! Cliffhanger! Mwahaha! Tune in next time to find out what happens on another episode of "The Dawn of Time."

Sunny rolls his eyes. "You are so weird..."

"No one asked you." turns back to readers "Well, now that that's all done, I've got a little guessing game for all of you."

"You may not know it now, but one of our happy couples are expecting a baby! Yay! Now, I'm not going to tell you who it is because that's up to you guys to figure out." Who is going to have a baby? That is the zillion dollar question. Give me your guess via review or e-mail please! The answer will be revealed in the next couple of chapters."

Mikey looks at her "Umm, just so you know, there's no such thing as a zillion dollars."

Bubbles ignores him.

"If anyone guesses correctly before I post the chapter with the answer, I will give them a plushie of their favorite bishie from ANY anime. I've got a whole vault of them somewhere..."

Sunny hears a creaking sound in the hall and opens the door to see Megan creeping by with Aoshi, Sesshomaru, and Seto plushies.

She looks up at him "What?"

Sunny sighs and closes the door "Nothing..." I'm surrounded by weirdos.

To the reviewers:

Moonmage: I'm glad you like this story. Thanks for your review!

BabyKaoru-Sama: She lives! Yay! I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure that Kenshin will be saving the day atleast once in this story. Kenji, on the other hand will seem to run right into trouble more than avoiding it. Ahh! I just love to keep people guessing. Thanks for the review.

Mikey: Read and review please!
