Still don't own Rurouni Kenshin………enjoy 2nd Chapter!

Chapter 2

"Oro," Kenshin said. Ayana's house was something Kenshin and the others had never seen. The walls were covered with beautiful oil pastel paintings and the furniture was very elegant. Suede curtains and glass coffee tables were everywhere.

"Are you rich?" Kaoru asked. The five of them were sitting in the den. The fireplace was crackling. Ayana smiled and shook her head.

"Ha, not really. Listen, the stories you told me on the way here, about how you all met….where exactly in Japan do you guys live? Some ghetto neighborhood?" Ayana asked. Kenshin looked bewildered.

"What do you mean, Ayana-Dono?" Kenshin asked. Ayana bit her lip.

" Well, all this talk of 'samurai' and stuff. You make it seem like they still exist," Ayana said. Yahiko's eyes widened. Sano opened his mouth. Kaoru raised her eyebrows. Kenshin gasped.

"Wait one moment, this one is starting to understand. Ayana-Dono…..what year is this?" Kenshin asked. Ayana looked very confused, but answered.

"Um, 2007," she replied adding a nervous laugh. The four froze.

"We've been sent to the future," Sano said, out of breath. Ayana shot up from her seat.

"Why do you guys talk like that! You're freaking me out!" she exclaimed. Kenshin laid back as calm as ever.

"Ayana-Dono, if I can explain, will you calm down?" Kenshin asked. Ayana stared at Kenshin. She breathed in slowly and sat down.

"O-okay," she said. Then Kenshin did it, he explained everything. How he used to be man-slaying Batto-sai, how he became a rurouni, how he befriended Yahiko, Sano, Kaoru, and how on their way to visit Megumi and friends, they got here. Once he was done, Ayana's mouth was gaping open.

"L-listen, we understand it's hard to believe, but it is true," Yahiko said. Ayana gazed at all of them.

"Well, most people nowadays wouldn't….but I do,"Ayana said. Kenshin, Yahiko, Kaoru, and Sano smiled. Ayana smiled back.

"Thanks is all this one has to say," Kenshin said. Ayana shyly looked at the white carpet.

"Y-y-y-yeah, well, let's just find a way to get you home," Ayana said. Sano smiled charmingly.

"So, Ayana, you didn't tell us much about you, like how old you are," Sano said. Ayana smiled.

"Oh, well, I'm seventeen," Ayana replied. Kaoru gleed with happiness.

"Hey, that's just like me!" Kaoru exclaimed. Sano smirked, Yahiko looked disappointed, and Kenshin looked surprised.

"Oh, my, thought you were much younger," Kenshin said.

"Yeah, me too," Yahiko mumbled. Sano still had that smirk on his face.

"Well, we are only two years apart," Sano said. Yahiko looked mad.

"Well we are only seven years apart," Yahiko said annoyed. He started giving dirty looks to Sano. Ayana looked surprised.

"Wow, you guys are young. Seventeen, nineteen, and ten! How old are you Kenshin?" Ayana asked. Kenshin started counting his fingers. Kaoru rolled her eyes.

"He's 'twenty-eight'," Kaoru said, adding air quotes to the '28' part. Ayana giggled.

"Here, let me get you guys something to eat," she said. She got up and walked to the kitchen, leaving Kenshin and the others alone. Sano sighed.

"She sure is beautiful," Sano and Yahiko said at the same time. They both scowled and made those 'I'm-a-watching'-you' faces. Suddenly, Ayana walked in.

"Heym you guys want water?" she asked. They all nodded.

"Ice for me, please," Yahiko said. Ayana smiled.

"Awww, you're so cute!" she cooed and walked back to the kitchen. Yahiko blew a raspberry at Sano.

"Ha! See, she said I'm cute!" Yahiko said. Sano scowled.

"Oh yeah? Well too bad you're three feet shorter!" Sano replied. Kaoru and Kenshin watched in amazement.

"I wonder how this will turn out," Kaoru said.

"Who knows," Kenshin said. All he could think about was how to get home, and his only hope was a seventeen-year-old girl from the future. Or at least, that's what he thought.
