:-:- CHAPTER TWO -:-:
I've got a Theory – Bunnies – If we're together
It was already past 11 o'clock when Kenshin finally arrived at the Kamiya-Dojo. It had taken him quite a while to find out where he was, because he hadn't watched where he was going last night. And then it turned out that he was nearly on the other side of Tokyo…
But at last he was home.
When he entered the Dojo he could already hear the others. They were talking, but he couldn't quite understand what about.
'I wonder, if they had to… sing as well…', he thought. If they didn't he would surely once again look like an idiot asking. 'Well, I should be used to that already.', it crossed his mind, 'It's not like it would be the first time.'
Kenshin closed the Dojo-gate and moved across the yard. Then he went to the living room.
As he opened the shoji, the others stopped talking and looked at him. Kenshin let out a startled 'Oro.', but then Kaoru was all over him.
"KENSHIN! Where have you been? We were worried! What did you think, just leaving like that-"
"Oi! Kenshin!", interrupted Sano, appearing out of nowhere and looming threateningly over him, "Where the hell have ya been? Thanks to you we were forced to eat Jou-chan's inedible food!"
"NANI?"
"Maa, maa… please calm down!", Kenshin raised his hands in an attempt to cool the both down a bit, "Sessha's terribly sorry for not being here this morning, de gozaru yo. But sessha… had to get his head clear and walk for a bit…"
Sano didn't seem any calmer, but Kaoru sighed.
"Well, that's okay but… just leave a note next time, okay? So that we know where you are."
"Hai, hai.", Kenshin nodded. Anything that stopped her worrying was fine to him. He couldn't tell them that he was gone all night. Kaoru would be really mad at him then.
"So…", he said, "Where's Yahiko?"
"He's off to the Akabeko.", answered Megumi.
"I see…"
Kenshin stood there in an uneasy way. He tried to think of something else to talk about, anything that would drive his mind away from this nagging question: 'Did they experience the same last night?'
But his curiosity got the best of him.
"Well…", he started, "Did anything happen while I was gone? Anything… unusual?"
Misao looked up.
"Like what?"
"Well…", he continued, "Uh… did anyone of you suddenly… get the urge to… singoutloud?"
He'd whispered the last words, but the others seemed to understand them nonetheless. Suddenly they where talking all at once.
"I don't believe it…", said Sano.
"Well, I did, but I wouldn't say that it…", said Aoshi.
"Oh yes, you did!", interrupted Misao.
"It was really funny.", began Megumi, "We were just talking and suddenly… It was just like in one of those musicals!"
"Well, that would explain the invisible orchestra in the background…", continued Aoshi, "… and the weird dance of the rooster-head."
"I found it really ominous.", concluded Sano.
"What were you singing about?", asked Kaoru.
Kenshin thought. It was really weird. The memory was still so vivid in his head, but he just couldn't grip what he was singing back then.
"Sessha can't remember, de gozaru.", he said, "But it felt only natural."
"I find it really alarming.", Sano said, "That's absolutely not natural. Is it possible that it will happen again?"
"I don't know.", answered Aoshi.
"We could look it up in the books!", Misao chirped in. Then she frowned.
"What is it, Misao-chan?", Kaoru asked worriedly.
"Oh… nothing… It's just… Do we have such books, Aoshi-sama?"
"…"
Suddenly Yahiko came busting in.
"You guys won't believe what happened in the Akabeko!"
"Everybody was singing and dancing?", suggested Megumi lazily.
"Wha- No.", pouted Yahiko, "I gave birth to a child. It's a Dinosaur."
That got Megumi's attention.
"Oh my god! Did it sing?"
"No!"
Yahiko sat down beside them.
"So it's been the same here, ne?", he asked.
"Yeah…", answered Sano, "What was your song about?"
"Teriyaki."
"Sounds… interesting."
"And why are you here so early?", asked Kaoru, "You just went off to the Akabeko!"
"Uh… well…"
Yahiko blushed a bit. But then he told them:
"Tae-san told me to get out of there 'cause I sang in a wrong tune…"
He blushed even deeper.
"Whatever!", interrupted Sano, "We should get to the bottom of this before it's starting all over!"
That was exactly when Aoshi leaned forward and began to sing:
"I've got a Theory
That it's a Demon"
He frowned.
"A dancing Demon.. nyeeh, something isn't right there"
Then he leaned back again and thought. Megumi joined in.
"I've got a Theory
Some Kid is dreamin'
And we're all stuck inside its whacky Broadway Nightmare"
Suddenly Sano had one of his brighter moments:
"I've got a Theory we should work this out"Megumi felt again this creepy feeling she had this morning, the one where Sano had started a song about Yahiko's loud snoring. It just felt so weird. And she sang, accompanied by Kaoru and Misao:
"It's getting eerie
What's this cheery singing all about?"
Sano, still having his bright moment, had an idea:
"It could be Witches
Some evil Witches"
But then he remembered something that a certain someone had told him just the other day, and suddenly he was ranting:
"Wich is ridiculous 'cause Witches they were persecuted wicca good and love the Earth and woman power and I'll be over here!"
Then he tried to hide under the table.
Kaoru, meanwhile, had come up with a theory of her own:
"I've got a Theory
It could be Bunnies"
The others just looked at her, stunned. Then Kenshin tried out his version…
"I've got a-"… only to be interrupted by Kaoru:
"Bunnies aren't just cute
Like everybody supposes"
Megumi raised an eyebrow, a look of 'You okay?' clearly written all over her face.
"They got them hoppy Legs
And twitchy little Noses
And what's with all the Carrots?"
Kenshin could only think of one thing at this.
"Oro?"
"What do they need such good eyesight for, anyway?
Bunnies! Bunnies!
It must be Bunnies!"
Then she paused, trying to catch her breath again. All of a sudden Misao jumped in front of her and clasped her hands, totally convinced by Kaoru's reasonable points.
She threw in her own opinion:
"Or maybe Midgets…"Fearful the two of them clasped hands even tighter and tried to hide in a corner. Megumi sighed and rolled her eyes while singing:
"I've got a Theory we should work this fast"Aoshi and Megumi cast each other meaningful looks, and then continued together:
"Because it clearly could get serious before it's passed"And then Yahiko piped up:
"I've got a Theory
it doesn't matter"
The others looked at him, so he continued:
"What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this Place that we can't weather?
Apocalypse
We've all been there
The same old Trips
Why should we care?"
How true that was! Even Kaoru and Misao managed to crawl out of their hiding corner, and they all together sang:
"What can't we do if we get in it?
We'll work it through within a minute
We have to try
We'll pay the price
It's do or die"
At this Kenshin mumbled:
"Hey, I've died twice"Aoshi cast him a knowing look, while the others seemed to have overheard this.
"What can't we face if we're together?"At this Aoshi started to sing in the background:
"- What can't we face"
"What's in this Place that we can't weather?""- If we're together"
And all sang:
"There's nothing we can't face!"Then all fell silent. But Kaoru still had something to say. So she sang, a frightened look in her eyes:
"Except for Bunnies…":-:- END OF CHAPTER TWO -:-:
I've got a Theory – Bunnies – If we're together
NEXT CHAPTER: THE SOY-SAUCE!
AN: Woah! That really took me a while to write… It wasn't exactly writer's block to be true… more kinda my laziness… -.-"
And then I forgot what I wanted to write about… T.T That's so not helping!
And until yesterday I only had 5 sentences written… but I had decided a while ago that I definitely wanted to post today, so I had to sit down in front of my PC, watch the Buffy-scene again, and then I began writing. I really like the part where Dawn says that she gave birth to a Dinosaur!
I already have the next chapter ready, but I'm going to post it next week, okay? Because, I started this whole thing with the determination to post every two weeks. That's one week to write this chapter and translate it, and one week for my beta to get it back to me. But now I took three weeks for updating! I want to get into the two-weeks- cyclus again, so that's why I'll post the next chapter next week.
I'm sure you'll survive it. :3
