Hiy peoples! I want to say that I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for not updating. But I promise, this chapter will be much longer than the others. You see, I've just been really busy going places and doing things, and I just haven't gotten around to it…
Kenshin: That's really no excuse, de gozaru yo…
Me: Well you know, I kind of wrote myself into a corner and didn't know how to save you guys...
Kaoru: So you left us cornered by drunk thugs for almost a week!
Me: oo; Um…Ya well, I'm here now and to make up for it I've added a response to everyone's reviews! (See, my reviewers are special to me. So review already!)
Mori'quessir: OMG! Thank you so much, my loyal reviewer! I owe you a lot! The next time Sano wins something when he gambles, I'll give it to you!
Yahiko: That'll be the day…
Sano: HEY! I did so win something…once…no wait…
Arubabu: Glad you liked it! I hope you continue to review! Oh, and I know the chappies are short now, but hopefully I'll make them longer later. I just write this story chapter by chapter, you know…sigh
Yahiko: She actually liked it! Whoa…
Me: Ha! I told you! Now shut up before I make you kiss Misao!
Yahiko: Aaah! No way am I kissing that itachi! (runs away)
Me: Ahhh, peace and quiet!
Cleo: Thanks for the ideas, I hadn't really thought about switching other people. I think I'll go ahead and finish this story with just Kenshin and Kaoru getting messed up, but I'll make a sequel where Misao and Megumi switch places and fall in love with Aoshi and Sano or something. Keep a lookout for it! Muahaha…
Me: And now, since I don't want to be sued by the evil, ravenous lawyers in that cage over there (lawyers foam at the mouth and growl ferociously), I guess I'll have to tell them that Rurouni Kenshin isn't mine, but I have other plans…muahaha! (drags Rurouni Kenshin characters away)
Sano: Aah! Help us! She's messing up my hair!
Everyone: 0o;;
Me: And now, ON WITH THE FIC! MUAHAHA!
Yahiko: Hide me…

Last time on Switched:
Kenshin realized this too, and started to reach for his sacabatou, when he realized: Kaoru had his sword! And Kaoru had not brought her bokken because Kenshin would be with her. 'Oh no…" Thought Kenshin, as the thugs stepped closer, the moonlight reflecting off their now-drawn swords. 'This isn't going to be pretty, de gozaru yo…'
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kenshin took a step back, but for every step he took, the men took two. And he realized that, not only was Kaoru's body much slower than his, which rendered his god-like speed useless, but the kimono Kaoru had been wearing was very restricting, and would probably not let him dodge many of their attacks.
'This is going to be trouble…' he thought, and moved in front of Kaoru to protect her, holding out one hand in front of her. Which must have looked pretty weird considering…
"Well, looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard way…(hic)" Said thug number one. But just as he was about to hit Kaoru with his blade (remember, they wanted Kenshin alive), his eyes suddenly turned cloudy and he fell down. Standing behind him was none other than…
"Sanosuke! Good thing you came, because they were just about to make a move on Ken-"
Kenshin quickly muffled Kaoru by putting a hand over her mouth, while Sano finished off the other thug. Sano stared at them for a minute, both had I'm-trying-to-look-innocent-but-I'm-really-lying-to-you-but-just-go-with-it faces on, so he shrugged off the comment and settled on saying "Yo Kenshin, you ok? I think you might need to sleep or somethin…"
"Yes that's it, I'm just tired, a good night's sleep should make me-I mean sessha, feel better…hehehe…" And, after a long pause, Kaoru added "De gozaru yo!"
Kenshin slapped a hand over his (or her, depending on how you look at it) forehead, while Sano just said "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…well, I'll just leave you guys alone there…wake up a little there Kenshin, that's the first time I've ever seen you protected by someone…well, g'night Jou-chan, Kenshin."
After he walked away, they both let out audible sighs of relief. "Oopsie…" Said Kaoru. "I'll be more careful next time."
"That's alright." Said Kenshin. "We just need to practice a little. Now, let's head back to the dojo, shall we?"
"But Kenshin," said Kaoru. "Your body's so tired! How do you stand it!"
"I guess you just sort of get used to it…I can carry you back to the dojo if you want though."
"Thank you Kenshin, I can hardly keep my eyes open. But don't let me forget, you're definitely not allowed to clean the dojo anymore. Anytime it needs cleaning, tell Yahiko to do it instead. Ok?"
Kenshin chuckled as he picked up his own body (a/n Kinda freaky huh?). "Alright, Kaoru. Go to sleep now."
Kaoru smiled as she noticed the lack or honorific on her name. And with the thought of a certain red-haired rurouni on her mind, she drifted off to sleep as Kenshin carried her back to the dojo, earning numerous stares from random passerby on the streets.

Sorry to end it there peoples, but I really have to go now; it's getting late. But I promise, the next chappie will be nice and long. And funny (but duh!). Here's a sneak peak (even though I haven't actually written the chapter yet. Lol):
"Wow Jou-chan, this has got to be your best meal ever!" Said Sano, stuffing his face.
"Yeah!" added Yahiko. "Have you been taking secret cooking lessons or something?"
Kenshin froze. What was he supposed to do? Tell them he switched places with Kaoru and was now in her body? He'd be sent to the loony bin for sure! But he couldn't lie to them-or could he?
"Oh, it wasn't me that cooked the food. Kenshin did." He said. 'Hah!' He thought. 'They believed every word!'
"Oh, ok. Oi, Kenshin! Thanks for the food! It's great!" Shouted Sano. Just then, Kaoru walked into the room.
"What are you talking about? I didn't cook; Kenshin did…" Her voice trailed off, and as she looked in Kenshin's eyes, she realized. 'Oh no,' She thought. 'How am I gonna get out of this one?'
Ok, so the preview was almost as long as the chapter itself. But I needed some sort of cliffhanger and that works. So aaaaaaaaaanyway…
Yahiko: Yes: I'm finally gonna be in a chapter!
Me: Ya, although, your part is small and insignificant…
Yahiko: Hey! How dare you! I'm descended from a strong line of samurai and you're treating me like a kid…(blablabla, talks on and on)
Me: Alright, alright! I'll make a one-shot of you and Tsubame! Just SHUT UP!
Yahiko: OK, fine, but it better be good…
Me: Oh it will, don't worry…muahaha…
Yahiko: Scary…laugh…make it stop…(twitches)
Me: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight…well anyway, R&R please! (Although once you've gotten down here and are reading this, you've probably already done half of that…) Ja Ne!
