Adventures of a Certain Annoying Itachi

Chapter Three: Misao Does a Little Birthday Shopping

Disclaimer: I only own my ideas, not the characters, unless some huge corporate syndicate owns my ideas, too…(Scary thought)

A/N: This chapter, thank you to KC Evans, bizcochia U-u, Jasmine Reinier, and AldreaHart. You people rock, and now on with the Adventures!

WARNING: This chapter…well…it's not half as frightening as the last one. Many fewer implications. Or at least they're subtler. And the only pairing is K/K, so that should make a bunch of people happy…

.x.x.x.x.

Misao was having a dilemma.

"Hmm…I need to get Kaoru-chan something for her birthday…but WHAT?"

Kenshin appeared randomly to help her out. "This one knows her pretty well, that he does…"

Misao grinned. "PERFECT!" She grabbed his sleeve and took off down the street to the market. "C'mon! Since you appeared randomly to help me out, you're gonna help me out!"

"Orororororororo…"

"NOW…" she said, looking at a rack of fancy paper. "Which of these would she like the best?"

Kenshin mutely pointed to one.

"GREAT!" she cried, buying it and taking off again, dragging Kenshin behind her.

"Orororororororo…"

She screeched to a stop in front of a bunch of ribbons. "Which would she like the best?" she asked.

"That one, that she would…"

Misao bought it, grabbed Kenshin by the gi, and took off yet again.

Kenshin once again found himself being dragged along the ground. "It's a wonder this one is not dead, that it is…"

The weasel once again stopped in front of a pet store. "Which collar and leash?"

He pointed, still oro-ing.

She bought it and hit the ground running, back to the dojo.

Kenshin was becoming acquainted with the ground once again. "Orororororororo…"

She dragged him into the actual dojo and closed the door firmly. "Now…to make Kaoru-chan's present…" Misao grinned evilly at him.

Kenshin all but pissed his…hakama. "Uh oh, de gozaru…"

Five minutes later, Kaoru was looking happily at the wrapped package. "Oh, Misao-chan, thank you! You didn't have to!"

Misao smiled. "Open it! Open it!"

Kaoru started going at the wrapping and stared. "There's…a leash coming out of this…"

Misao downright grinned. "Keep going…

The other girl finished unwrapping it and stopped dead, her jaw hitting the floor. "MISAO…you DIDN'T…"

Kenshin grinned cheerfully from the remains of the wrapping, a collar around his neck and leash clipped to it. "Happy birthday, Kaoru-dono!"

.x.x.x.x.

The End! For now! To be continued! (Kind of)
