Aurora Whisperwind: Hi again, people! I'm really sorry I didn't update this for so long, but I was too lazy to type and I really was busy with my other stories, so…. Anyways here's chapter 9!

Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin or any of its characters. I also do not own the flying purple bears or the Canadian bear with the monkeys.

Saitoh bloodlust: You've shown me in such bad light! Like I'll ever worry about Okita…

Aurora Whisperwind: Look! Okita's here!

Saitoh bloodlust: What? Where?

Aurora Whisperwind: HAHA! Gotcha! You do care! AAAAAAAAAAWWWWW!

Saitoh bloodlust: Grrrrrrrrrrrrr….

Aurora Whisperwind: Let's get on with the story!

Between Bulba's constant happy baby talk, the stupid bear's macho moronic rambling and everyone else's stupidity, Saitoh found himself going insane. They had been wandering all day, but had found nothing. Evening was approaching, and just when Saitoh was beginning to seriously consider killing himself, a horde of rainbows appeared at the horizon. "Hey look Bulba! Your tribe! We found them!" yelled Yahiko-in-boots, earning himself a happy squeal and trampling from the hippo.

"Alright!" yelled Sanostiltskin, "Let's go!" They were a mere three feet away from them when Bulba refused to go any further. Saitoh lost it and practically destroyed half the forest in his rage. "Bulba scared" the hippo declared, cowering "Bulba's tribe angry" Saitoh stopped raving. "Really?" he drawled, back to his old self "Let's go see then" The tribe was in rage. There were over forty of them, at least ten times bigger than Bulba. And they were indeed angry and trampling over….

"Okita!" screamed Saitoh.

"Chuka!" screamed the Canadian bear.

Both of them, a fairy and a monkey were being trampled on by a fierce horde of rainbow discharging hippos. "Quick Bulba! Go say hi to your tribe!" said Kaoru, pushing the baby hippo. "Yeah" echoed Misao, "Or else that monkey and fairy will be mashed flat!" Saitoh froze. They could see Okita? That was seriously weird…. Trembling, the baby stepped forward "Mamma! Papa! Bulba found you!" The hippos stopped what they were doing. "BULBA!" they all cheered in a practically ear splitting wail. They all converged to hug him.

Seeing his chance, Saitoh rushed to Okita. "You idiot!" he snarled "Why the heck are you here? Don't you know that the night of the full moon is today?" To his surprise, Okita's lip trembled and he burst into tears. "O Saitoh-sama!" he sobbed out, throwing his arms around the unwilling wolf "I was so scared! See, I was sleeping when these rainbows flew right above us! They were sooooooo pretty! So I followed them! And then- and then-" he dissolved into more tears. Saitoh growled "Moron! Do you have any idea how much trouble you caused me? I wandered around half the forest looking for you!" If he thought that this would stop Okita's incessant crying, he was wrong. Okita just looked at him in wonder and burst into fresh tears of gratitude "You looked for me! You really care about me! I'M SO SORRY SAITOH-SAMA! I MISSED YOU TOO!" The last few words were yelled out so loud that everyone heard them, I mean everyone. The bear even stopped telling off the monkey to stare.

"Get off me, will you" Saitoh choked out "Everyone's staring" Okita let go, sniffing slowly. Saitoh noticed that his wings seemed to have vanished. Full moon effect. No one said anything for a long time. The bears had gone.

Silence.

More silence.

Even more silence.

Still more silence.

Ok, that's it. I'm fast-forwarding.

Okita finally decided to do something. "Hi everyone" he said, bowing "I'm Okita, Saitoh-sama's fairy wolf-brother and prote-" Saitoh clamped his paw over his mouth, snarling "Shut up! That's all they need to know" Still silence. Kaoru and Misao stared and then squealed together "OH HE'S SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!" Okita smiled a bit nervously and backed away. "Uh... I'm leaving now" declared the bear and before they could do anything, vanished. "How could he run that fast?" Yahiko-in-boots exclaimed in wonder.

Twilight came, and just as Saitoh was wondering what to do, the air around them stiffened, literally. "Wait" he whispered hoarsely to the others. Slowly, three spirits stepped out, smiling wildly. "Water, thunder and fire" whispered Okita, awe in his face. "True" said the water spirit, pushing its long flowing hair out of its face. "Welcome". Saitoh watched warily, and muttered "So, we have to fight you three to get to your master". "Yes, but why worry, you'll never reach him. Here ends your journey, poor people. Ready?" asked the fire spirit. "RUN!" yelled Saitoh at the others "RUN AND HIDE! I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS!" he lunged towards the fire spirit and the thunder spirit. "I'm not going to run" said Okita, leaping into battle with the water spirit.

Sano stood in front of Kaoru, who was holding both Yahiko-in-boots and Misao. They kept fighting, Saitoh and Okita looked a little tired, but the spirits looked fine. Both Saitoh's and Okita's energy had been spent dodging attacks while these three twirled around like they were dancing. Yahiko was fighting, tooth and nail to get into the action. "Let go, Busu! I've an idea!" he scratched her, causing her to drop him. "You guys ready to experience major pain?" he asked, as Sano tried to drag him back. "I knew this would come handy" he declared, a gleeful look on his furry face taking a bag out. "Behold my secret weapon!" he screamed, distracting the spirits, who let go of Saitoh and Okita and instead prepared to attack the cat. They lunged at him, but…

In a blinding move, they screamed in agony as Yahiko threw something at them from the bag. They writhed in pain and screaming, disintegrated. The wolves watched, dumbstruck. What the heck did this little cat throw at such powerful creatures? Yahiko grinned at Saitoh. "You gave me the idea, Saitoh" he chimed "Busu's cooking!" he opened the bag to reveal several grey black lumps. "It'll kill anyone" he declared, smirking. Saitoh simply stared. Okita giggled as Kaoru proceeded to mash Yahiko flat, not listening to his 'but I saved you lives' crap.

"So, you think you've won, eh?" a cold voice announced. A man stepped out looking extremely menacing, and the air stiffened again. He had dark hair, and piercing green eyes. "Funny that my servants were defeated by a mere cat. Not this time, though" he said, calmly drawing two short blades. "Hey buster!" screamed Yahiko, "They were killed you moron! And I was the one who did it!" the man stared at him, contempt on his face. "They are not killed. They will reincarnate. But thanks to an enchantment, they cannot attack you again, but you will die here in my hands anyway. Such cheap, childish tricks do not work on me"

"Aoshi Shinomori" drawled Saitoh, a smile on his face. "Ah… Saitoh bloodlust and as I see, Okita" said Aoshi, tearing his eyes away from an extremely murderous looking Yahiko, and bowing. "Right, so as the rays of the full moon shall affect you both in a short while, this will be very interesting indeed" Saitoh and Okita grinned for the first time that evening. They stepped into the clearing so that the moon's rays could touch them while the rest watched, fascinated. Nothing happened for a minute or two, but then things happened fast. An unseen wind came, swirling around them while a beam of light illuminated the clearing like bright day. "You see, we may become extremely vulnerable to magic in this form" said Okita, smiling "But we also happen to be most powerful now"

They were human. Saitoh's golden eyes sparkled as he drew his sword, examining it as Okita grinned at our friends. Misao's eyes went wide. "No I'm not the one you seek" Okita babbled quickly, his dark eyes gleaming, hoping that Misao wouldn't get any ideas. But she wasn't looking at him. She was looking at Aoshi. "You…" she said, "You are my prince" Aoshi looked at her, the expression in his eyes unreadable. But before any of them could do anything, a tiny cough emanated from the trees around. All of them stiffened, who was this?

Funnily enough, even Aoshi seemed startled. Saitoh and Okita reached for their swords, while Sano wondered how much like a wolf Saitoh still looked. Misao kept looking at Aoshi, wondering how best she could kiss him. Aoshi scanned the woods, and was about to open his mouth when a slender figure stumbled out, with a cloud of red hair and wearing funny clothes. The figure stopped, confused, and spotting them, gave them a big smile. They stared back, shocked. No one had expected this to happen.

Suspense, suspense, suspense! Who do you think the red-head is? So, I've revealed plenty in this chapter. Aoshi is the man and Saitoh and Okita turn human. Stay with me! This story will end soon! Read and review please!
