Friends, I can now happily inform you that my tank's emergency eject sequence works wonderfully, as should yours if you took my suggestions and got the same model I did. Unfortunately, I am now required to inform you that my tank is busted and my Online status switched to temporary. I'm almost ashamed to call myself an O-junkie.
I do have a new task for all you weirdos out there, though. find me a recipe for removing LCL stains from cloth. My bed sheets will send you cookies if you do, specifically the comforter. Poor thing. For now, just use email to contact me.
And the final jot. I dreamed about my redhead. I think I was taking a shower and he was umm. making sure I didn't slip, yeah.. didn't slip. Why hasn't anybody found him for me yet?
@~~~~~
Kenshin had just finished scrubbing the remaining sticky substance from his arms when he heard sounds in the bedroom. Fearing that Kaoru might be thrashing around, he wrapped a towel around his waist and opened the bathroom door.
"Oh my," a tall female holding flowered sheets looked at Kenshin with wide eyes. "I'm sorry, but she's not awake enough for another round, you'll have to wait a few minutes."
"Oro?"
Megumi smirked as her eyes followed a stray water droplet down. "Is this the one you told me about, Misao," she asked while raising her blue eyes to meet very a pair of very startled violet.
Misao had fallen onto the bed with her hands covering her mouth when Megumi's comment registered. She giggled into the blanket and nodded hoping that Megumi would understand.
"Well, I'll let you off easy this time, Mr. Himura, but my friend is still a delicate girl and nowhere near to matching your obvious abilities. She should wake up soon the worse for wear, but with only a headache." Megumi looked down at Kaoru as she rested peacefully on the bed. "I've checked her over and she'll be fine."
Kenshin let loose a deep breath and blinked. He looked at the smiling Misao for confirmation and then at the tray she pointed to. On top of a happily yowling orange cat lay a tiny flashlight, two bottles of unknown fluids, and an unused hypodermic needle.
"Megumi took some nursing classes a long time ago," Misao explained. "It's not a concussion, just a bit of a shock to the system. We'll wash her off as soon as you're done with the shower."
"Yes, so get back inside and dry off before you catch your death of cold, young man." Megumi turned back to him with eyebrows raised. "We need to make sure she's comfortable before we can sit down and figure out what happened."
Kenshin nodded silently and stepped back into the bathroom. He leaned against the door and smiled. It seemed his Shihandai had a rather fierce protector. He grabbed a second towel and began drying his hair while listening to the conversation outside in the bedroom.
"So, he's a cop?"
"He's an agent, just like I am. Well, not exactly like I am, but close. He's in a special division that handles some pretty weird stuff. You should see his director, a scarier guy is hard to find. He smokes like a chimney and scares little children by glancing at them. Do you wanna know what's worse?"
"What?"
"He scares his own little children." Misao shivered in remembrance at the buildings annual family picnic. "Someone slept with that man and produced a child."
Megumi shrugged and grabbed one of the wet rags she had brought up. She began working on ridding Kaoru of as much goo as she could. It wasn't all that hard since the thin covering layer had dried and was now flaking off. "So, the other one."
"Sagara Sanosuke is the name of the tall one currently making some of the best coffee you will ever taste. He's even better than Aoshi. At the Akabeko, this diner across form the office, he's been known to jump across the counter and start up the coffee machine if the opening waitress doesn't get there before he does."
"How does he get in if the waitress isn't there?"
"He knows the cook."
Megumi smiled and peeled off some still slightly wet flakes from Kaoru's arms. "Hmm, no waxing for her this month."
Misao poked at Kaoru's hair. "What are we going to do about this, we can't very well peel her head clean of hair? She'll kill us."
"Hrnnnn."
"Kaoru?" Megumi leaned down. "Tanuki-chan, are you waking up?"
"Hair."
Misao stepped back and watched as Kaoru began to move slightly. She relaxed as the pattern of muscle movement showed methodical testing instead of random movement. She looked at Kaoru's face only to gasp in surprise as she saw her friend's bright blue yes opened wide and focused on her.
"Blue bottle, shower room by the tank. Get the big blue bottle. It's stripper." Kaoru kept her eyes wide as she turned to Megumi. "Want Tylenol."
Her friend smiled and nodded. "As soon as you're awake enough to swallow them."
Wit a nod and a deep sigh, Kaoru began to close her eyes slowly. She could feel the cold LCL freezing on her skin. She shivered and tried to move but the blanket stuck to her hindering any movement. Megumi and Misao had begun to help peel her out of the stuck on comforter when she heard the bathroom door open. Her eyes were sluggishly pulled to the sight of movement by a sleepily curious mind. Both of her friends were here, who was that. Just as she caught sight of a head of red hair and bare shoulders Kaoru found her eyes being forced to close by an overworked body.
"Drrrmmmnng."
With a quick tug Misao was able to free Kaoru's legs form the blanket in time to look up and watch her blue eyes lose the battle to sleep again. She glanced at Megumi who nodded. "It's better this way. She's been through an ordeal." The older woman looked at the man now standing at the foot of the bed. He wore only a pair of jeans that hung loosely around his hips and a small towel around his shoulders underneath his hair. She grinned and opened her mouth to spout off again but stopped as she looked at his expression.
She glanced at Misao and nudged her chin in his direction. She watched quietly as the wonder in Misao's eyes turned to glee. The agent standing at the foot of Kaoru's bed was staring at the sleeping woman with a query in his eyes and a smile on his face.
"So," Misao announced loudly almost causing Kenshin to jump. "We're going to need some help getting her into the shower. Himura, you carry her in as soon as Megumi has it all set up properly. I've got to get some stuff from the other room." She dashed out after a quick wink in Megumi's direction.
The recipient of the wink nodded sagely. "Of course. I'll begin heating the water." She grabbed the armful of sheets that she had been carrying earlier. "We'll have to seat her laying out, so I'm going to use these as a sort of cushion and also as type of carry basket for getting her out." Megumi tossed the sheets onto the floor through the open bathroom door and grabbed Kenshin's shoulders. She felt him stiffen up as she pushed him towards the head of the bed. "Sit and watch her. She shouldn't move too much." With a stifled giggle, Megumi spun and closed the bathroom door behind her.
Kenshin looked down at his sleeping Shihandai, no; his sleeping Kaoru and sighed. As he watched her sleep his mind mulled over those few moments he had already spent with her. As he was mentally smiling at the image of them sharing tea his hand was unknowingly reaching out. He didn't realize he was touching her cheek until he saw her move. Her face turned towards him and she nuzzled her nosed into his fingers. His eyes widened as she lifted her chin and lightly kissed his knuckles. Kenshin remained perfectly still as she sighed and turned her head away. He moved away only when he heard Misao bouncing down the hallway.
As soon as Megumi heard Misao's chirping she poked her head out and grinned. "You know, we're going to need someone to help us hold her while we wash her off."
Kenshin looked from the two grinning females to the peacefully sleeping one on the bed. "Just show me how," he offered with a smile.
Megumi and Misao glanced at each other. "This way, please," Megumi directed him.
Later that night. at a bar.
Low lights and soft conversation provided a favorite after hours hangout for tired workers. Shadowed couches and soft throw blankets provided a comfy haven for the designated drivers while they watched their friends get hideously drunk, which Sano thought he was doing now. Unfortunately Kenshin's actions were in no way reflecting the amount of alcohol he'd just consumed.
When he had asked Sano to drive them to a bar there had been no problems of course. Sano was always up for a drink. When the short man continued to mutter about showers, Sano decided his friend was feeling a bit put off by the peach scented girlie soap he'd been forced to use, but when Sano heard the wistful sigh emerge from his partner's throat, he knew he was getting Kenshin drunk as soon as possible. There was definitely a story about what he missed upstairs. Misao and that other woman had been giggling as they led the finally dry but shell shocked Kenshin down the stairs and passed him off into Sano's hands.
"It's been a long night," Sano murmured to his silent partner. "Do we know who attacked her?"
Kenshin shook his head.
"We'll need to write up a report on the incident. This definitely seems Online related by how Misao was talking. This Kamiya chick seems to be one of the pivots behind the Online world."
"Her name is Kaoru, Kamiya Kaoru. She's the assistant master of the Kamiya Kasshin style of swordsmanship, a style that has lasted since the Meiji era."
Sano's eyes widened. "And you've known her how long?"
Kenshin turned to Sano and blinked. "It's on her walls, didn't you see? She graduated in 2031 which means she's probably 21 or 22, a bit younger than me, but legal."
Sano choked back a laugh. Kenshin wasn't one to act drunk, but he sure talked like one.
"She's had two cats and seems to like wearing blues and purples. She was dressed in those colors in most of her pictures. Those colors bring out her eyes. They're so wonderful."
"Yeah? Well, tell me more about her eyes then."
"I can't. I've never actually looked into her eyes." Kenshin sounded surprised. "I'm dreaming about her and I haven't even actually met her. Sano, I held her in the shower while her friends poured blue liquid all over her and she doesn't even know my name!"
"You held her in the shower?"
"That blue stuff washed the pink stuff right off of her."
"Kenshin, was she wearing anything?"
"Maybe some of that would get the stains out my shirt." Kenshin looked up from his drink. "Of course she was wearing something. She was wearing that bathing suit she had on when you saw her."
"You mean that tiny little black thing that showed off her legs? How about the back of it, I didn't know they cut one-piece suits that low. Did you notice the siz." Sano stopped talking as an eerie silence descended.
"Did I notice the size of what," Kenshin bit out."
"Nothing, umm.." Sano sat up a bit straighter as he watched Kenshin's eyes change from a peaceful violet to lavender ice. "The size of her, umm. ears!"
Cold eyes turned thoughtful. "She did have nice ears. Very cute ones. They're pierced, perfect for buying her earrings." Kenshin relaxed and set his empty drink cup on the table. "She looked absolutely perfect, that she did."
Sano sighed and chuckled. "Well, we'll have to make sure you meet up with her again."
"Of course," Kenshin told him humorously. "We have to write up a report about what happened. There will be questions she needs to answer."
"Questions?" Sano raised an eyebrow suggestively.
"Of course, we need to know all we can about why she was attacked. She'll also need protection from now on. We have to make sure she doesn't get hurt again." At Sano's nod Kenshin decided they were done for the evening.
"You should drive me home now. I believe I've had enough." He stood up and took a deep breath. "Now I need some sleep."
Sano shook his head and handed the waitress Kenshin's credit card. After leaving her a generous tip and a wink he steered his friend out the door. The drive to Kenshin's apartment was uneventful. Sano decided that Kenshin was either too fixated on this new female or that he'd passed out with his eyes open. After a quick poke he had his tipsy friend moving and into his apartment within minutes.
He pushed Kenshin into the bedroom and yelled at him that he was crashing on the couch and to set the clock. Sano heard what he thought was an affirmative groan and happily tossed cushions and a now familiar blanket around until he was comfortable. His last image was of the low chiming of the kitchen clock announcing one of the wee hours of the morning.
***** The Next Morning *****
Misao was surprising herself by actually using a pencil and paper as she gleefully prepared a get together scheme for her new friends. As her mind wandered over possible reasons to throw Kaoru and Kenshin together she began doodling in the margins of the notebook she'd stolen from Omasu's desk earlier. She looked down and grinned. Two perfect plans that could be easily set in motion, and the first one was ready to be executed.
"Aoshi," she called to her silent shadow. "I'm going out for a bit. Give me a ring if anything comes up." She cheerily waved and bounced out if the basement room. She'd programmed her cellular to buzz whenever Kenshin or Sano had their id run through the front door, which meant they'd overslept since it was already ten in the morning. She grinned as she skipped through the halls. Plan number one was ready to begin as soon as she called Megumi.

Author's Notes: you will not believe the s**t I've gone through to get this chapter out to you. I had it written a week ago.. more than a week.. maybe a week and a half. I had it written and then I need to copy paste it to a different word program so I could upload it, but I didn't save and the computer froze and I searched for hours to no avail.
But KITTYLYNNE saved me. I was so down, but she reviewed EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER IN ONE SITTING!! * sniff * I love Kittlynne. This is all for you.
Well, I'd like to take a bit to rant about a possibly little known anime that doesn't seem to have gotten the attention that I think it deserves. Everyone needs to go out and rent / watch Tsukikage Ran. It's about a female ronin wandering around. Go find it and check it out! It's good!

JML: Well, Soujiro will probably need a new job after this, huh? Hmm. oh! And genocide says I spell shihandai with an o like I did before.. vesca is confused . Hey! Did I ever thank you for turning me onto Fruits Basket? I read about it in your profile and (at least I'm pretty sure I did) checked it out and fell in love. This was about a year or so ago, well before they even told us Funimation was going to release the dvds. Have you checked out His and Her Circumstances?
C-chan: hope this has enough waff for you, I just couldn't bring myself to have them mett just yet, but more waffa nd more friction coming up next chapter! Hopefully I'll update quickly again, too!
Genocide: read it again, read it again. oh, and JML said I should spell it with an a instead of an o. so who's right?
Cherrymecha: you must watch more Kenshin. go rent it now, or better yet! Support the economy and buy it!
Pet: Never seen HxH, but if you say its like my story then it's something to check out.. will do.
Megami no Ushi: yeah. I have always liked that wavy hair thing going on with anime characters. And you have red hair? Cool, I hope it treats you nicely. I've had some red headed friends who hated their hair. It was all frizzy and curly and annoying.
Saki: here's more.. enjoy!
KittyLynne: I love you.. you are a wonderful wonderful person, so very thoughtful and actually helpful in your reviews! * sniff * it's so beautiful to see such a kind and considerate anime lover out there. Thank you so much. Oh, and the people I was about to chew out at MediCare thank you too, 'cause they didn't get chewed out. stupid idiots. I read your reviews while on hold with them.. it put me into such a good mood.
Well, this is Vesca signing off. next chapter in the works.. Have a fun and safe holiday weekend!
Oh, and one more thing.
Disclaimer: I don not own Kenshin, but he ever shows up on Ebay I will most definitely bid.

I read your reviews while on hold with them.. it put me into such a good mood.
Well, this is Vesca signing off. next chapter in the works.. Have a fun and safe holiday weekend!
Oh, and one more thing.
Disclaimer: I don not own Kenshin, but he ever shows up on Ebay I will most definitely bid.
