Disclaimer: I dun own Rk …cause I… well….it's because…Uhhhh…can you just give me a minute here to find the right words to say? ….(after one minute…) EUREKA! I have found it! The script! At last! (reads the script) I don't Rurouni Kenshin…(raise an eye brow…) that's exactly what I said! What kind of idiot writes these scripts?!
Author's note: I know I have a lot of explaining to do but let me make this clear…you see…I put up Chapter 2: freakin FENG SHUI guy as chapter 1…and I sincerely apologize for that moronic mistake. I am guilty and I have no plans of pleading not guilty before the judge. Please understand that I am (no…not human) a factory reject and I am subject to commit terrible mistakes…I'm really sorry about it though…I hope you guys can forgive me for spoiling everything…I really suck huh?
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
CHAPTER 2: FREAKIN FENG SHUI GUY
"Can you please tell me why are we going on a picnic again?" Yahiko asks furiously while trying to carry the picnic basket full of food
"Because today is a bright and sunny day. And I just got Kenshin's first ever salary for working as a bushi on a ship! We have to spend it on something very special!" Kaoru twirled around like a little kid while walking side by side with the carrot-top samurai.
"And why does it have to be by the river bank?" Sano asked irritatedly while dragging the huge umbrella and the picnic mat in his arms
"Where do you think we should have a picnic huh? What a brainless imbecile " Megumi rolled her eyes
"Hey! Watch your mouth there lady doctor! Who do you think you're calling imbecile?!" SANO raised his fist, letting go of the picnic mat "If I know you have a massive crush on me!" he shouted making everyone stop on their tracks and stare at the dreaded rooster-head who dare say something so meaningless.
Megumi, though blushing, retaliated at his words " Do you seriously think that I'd settle for someone with no high-paying job? Spiky hair? And no I.Q? You must be joking? Not even if you're the last imbecile in the planet!" She said completely stumping the Sequijo warrior.
It was then that Yahiko and the others rolled on their stomachs with laughter
"Ha-ha-ha that's a good one SANO!" Kaoru laughed out loud, trying to keep her balance
"Yeah! You really got me there Sano" Kenshin laughed and patted Sanosuke's back
"I really mean it! She likes me! She really likes me!" Sano blushed at the embarrassment. He knew he was reckless but why did he have to overdo it? "I'm such a jerk!" he told himself. He picked up the picnic mat that rolled on the dirt road and followed everyone who was already paces before him with Megumi, the sly fox-faced lady doctor in the lead.
At the riverbanks…
"This is just girlie stuff! I hate picnics!" Yahiko pouted
"I can't help but agree with you little man! This picnic stinks!" Sanosuke followed
(A/N: we all know what Kaoru does to ungrateful freeloaders like them right?)
"WHY YOU UNGRATEFUL FREE LOADERS!!!!!!!" eyes burning with anger due to her anguished spirit "AFTER ALL THE HARD WORK I HAD PUT INTO PLANNING THIS SPECIAL DAY!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!" her battle cry echoed through out the plain, together with the things that she is throwing at the two unfortunate souls.
"HEY! Calm down Kaoru! We were just-" Sano was hit by one of those … Uhhhh … well …let me verify what it was
(CHEPOT (the cute author) pushed the pause button, which immediately stops everything including the really amusing background music. She jumped in the scene, gliding through the floating debris, sweat, and items to check on SANO, whose also (miraculously) floating in mid-air. "(Thumb up) yup…it's definitely solid…it's an anvil…an acme corporation anvil to be exact. According to the label, it has a 5 minute warranty…" CHEPOT jumps out of the screen and pushed the play button again to continue the scene.)
"AHHHH!!! SANO!" Kenshin called out to his, now, unconscious friend "please help him Megumi san!" he asked the mild mannered lady who suddenly turned into her SD form with the fox impression. "Now why would I help him?" she laughed mildly uh…did I say mildly? I meant to say cynically…. and went back to sipping her tea quietly not paying any attention to the racket between her companions.
To everyone, it was pretty normal that Kaoru and the others engage in a childish fight but something felt wrong with the surroundings and Kenshin was the only one who had the entrails to feel it.
"What is this feeling?" he spontaneously roamed his eyes around but nothing could ease his feeling. Nothing unusual to explain what he was feeling …but he knew for a fact that his instincts can't be wrong. There was definitely something and it's very close.
Kenshin had been quiet for sometime that it bothered Kaoru a bit "what is it Kenshin?" she asked with concern for her hubby
Kenshin, not wanting to worry his friends just shook his head "this is nothing…C'mon let's eat…I made rice cakes" he said as he rummaged through the contents of their basket.
"Finally! Something edible!" Yahiko shouted, snapping out of his unconscious state
"Did someone mention food?" Sano squealed
"I wonder if there're other things inside your brain besides food and bouts…" Megumi knocked on Sano's head "nope…by the sound that your skull makes, …it seems like it's empty"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!!!!" Sano bursts out and started another fight with the lady doctor
Minutes later, everything was peaceful again. Yahiko is nibbling on his rice cake while Megumi silently sipped her tea beside Sanosuke who's completely wrapped up in bandages like a mummy.
"Aren't the cherry blossoms pretty during these time of year?" Kaoru asked as she leaned on kenshin's shoulder
"Yes…they're at their brightest color during these season…just like…yo-" Kenshin was cut-off of his romantic mode when he saw something familiar from the other side of the river "Is that …Jim-pu?"
(A/N: Jimpu/Jimpu is a character in the last part of the RK saga. He's this feng shui guy who helped the gang restore the rightful balance of the chi in Kyoto or something like that. He was from the water clan or was it some other clan? I really can't remember. I'm sorry for those who do not know him though…)
Kaoru's eyes widened in surprise "Jimpu? What is he doing here in Japan? I thought he went back to china?"
"Jimpu?" Yahiko asked seeing a tall bulk guy running on the other side of the river "HEY! JIMPU!!! OVER HERE!!!!" he waved his hand (A/N: together with the rice cakes) in hopes to catch their old friends attention
"What are they doing here?" Jimpu asked upon seeing his old friends having a picnic by the riverbanks. "I must warn them at once!" he ran towards them passing through the water.
"HI!" Yahiko greeted
"Long time no see Jim-pu!" Kenshin greeted
"Haven't seen you around. How are you?" Kaoru asked
"MMMM! MMMMM! MMMM!" Sano greeted as well (A/N: he can't talk cause he is wrapped up in bandages"
"Yes…it's been quite a while," he said with a smile but it was over shadowed by his next remarks "listen! You must get out of here at once!"
Everyone was baffled by Jimpu's response to their cheerful greeting. He seemed to be worried about something.
"Why?" Yahiko, Kenshin and Kaoru said in unison. While Sano only said "MMMM! MMMMM! MMMM!" (A/N: I told you! He's still wrapped up at the moment)
"I'll explain later but first, we have to get the hell outta here!" he said pulling everyone away from the riverbank
Though still puzzled, the gang followed Jimpu and prepared to leave. But their attempt were hindered by a group of black ninjas who stood in their way and encircled them
"OH NO! They're here!" Jimpu called out
"We can definitely see that" Sano said while ripping out the cocoon like bandages
"Who are they?" Kaoru asked clinging to Kenshin's arm in horror
"I don' care who they are. But if they're the bad guys, they're going down" Yahiko said turning his thumb upside down and pulling out his wooden sword
"NO! You can't take them on! They're just Jyonen formations from a vast concentrate of energy of the fury wind clan!" Jimpu shouted to stop the little boy in his attempt to defeat the unknown enemy. But it was too late the poor juvenile had hit one of the jyonen ninjas and a black orb encircle the boy…
"Yahiko!!!!!!!" Kaoru called out to her student as she watched how the orb dissipated into thin air. "What happened to him!!"
"Don't let them touch you! Or you'll disappear into the vast portal of time!" Jimpu warned the others
"WHY DIDN"T YOU SAY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!" Sano shouted from inside an orb. He was caught inside by hitting one of the Jyonens who aimed for Megumi.
"YOU BUBBLE-HEAD! Why did you have to go and be a hero!" Megumi cried while pounding on the dark orb's exterior as Sano slowly melted away from her sight
"Meg-u" and with that, Sano too had dissipated
"What do we do now?" Megumi was on her knees and crying
"Are you guys willing to get your friends back?" Jimpu knew he had no other choice
"Is there a way?" Kaoru and Megumi said in unison
"Hang on to me…" Jimpu said with authority …"we're going in after them"
(A/N: don't you think this line would go right with those James bond moments? Or those Arnold shwazzeneger things? Ah…never mind.)
And with that, everyone grabbed hold of Jimpu's almighty ruler…, which released a strong surge of energy that blew the black ninjas away, and them into some kind of swirly hole or portal.
"What is this place?" Kenshin asked as to the others were too astonished and mystified to speak. They have been swallowed in some kind of space…something that was far beyond their understanding yet so…
"Astonishing…" Megumi said flabbergasted
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I have to cut it off here so it would have a nice hang to it. Yes…yes…I know my best friend would probably kill me but what the heck…I still have 8 lives left. So don't worry I'll still be able to continue on with the fic whether you like it or not.
