Yamisha's Favorite Day
The date was April 1st in the 15th year of Meiji. Yamisha's favorite day of the year. Why? Because today was the only day everyone considered it perfectly normal to play pranks on others. There was also the fact that you couldn't get in trouble for it. This, she loved.
Yamisha originally had a busy day filled of chores and shopping for Kaoru, but she wouldn't let that stop her.
Kenshin had warned Kaoru that April Fools Day was Yamisha's favorite holiday. In order to keep her from playing pranks and making fun of people, he had asked Kaoru to give her an unusually busy schedule.
Flashback to the previous day
"Kaoru?" Kenshin called in a somewhat worried voice.
"Kenshin? What is it? What's wrong?" she inquired.
"April 1st is Yamisha's favorite holiday, and if we don't do something, she will play a prank on everyone within a 200 mile radius of the dojo,"
"I want you to give her so much to do, that she has no time for jokes ok?" he said to Kaoru.
"What? You really think she is capable of that? She's only 16 you know," Kaoru tried to convince him. She knew perfectly well what Yamisha could do, and looking at Kenshin's face; which played out a town being squashed by her foot; decided to try and help.
"Alright Kenshin. I'll give her lots of work and hopefully she wont be able to accomplish the task of tyrannizing the city," Kaoru said in a defeated voice.
"The people of Tokyo will thank you, trust me." he said before rushing out the door to do laundry before the sun went down.
End flashback
Kaoru had kept true to her word, and had given Yamisha tons of work to keep her occupied for more than a day.
Yamisha, as you probably know by now, is no normal girl. See A Strange Vacation for more details. What Kenshin had not expected was how desperate Yamisha was for her day of fun.
