A/N:
Dove: Oh gosh, guys, I'm so sorry! I've had HORRIBLE writers block! Since I'm writing Dark as well as two other stories (Time Warp and The Only Way) I haven't been able to think of ANYTHING! And I'm still trying to figure out the highschool chronicles, too!! ARGH!
Kenshin: *Blink* Your mom said to get ready to go.
Dove: *GROAN*
**Five minutes later**
Dove: It's IMPOSSIBLE! I've just snuck Kenshin, Kaoru, Soujiro, Sano, Misao, Aoshi, Hiko, and Watsuki in the back of the car! I'm trying to hide 'em from brother dearest and my wonderful parents! AND I AM WRITING ON A 2 DOLLAR SPIRAL NOTEBOOK! That's WAY over-priced.
Kenshin: SHE CHIBIFIED US!!!
Sano: It's kinda cool, bein' small and all. 'Course, you're always mini.. *Musing*
Kenshin: GRR
Kaoru: HYA!
Dove: OW!
Kaoru: Darnit. My mini-bokken only bruised her knee!
Misao: TOBI KUNAI!!
Dove: YIPE!!
Misao: Argh. They only cut her a little bit! How annoying!
Dove: AUGH! THAT IS IT! YOU ALL WANTED TO COME! ARGHH! *Turns full demon. Kinda a mix between something with wings and a kitsune. Claws, tail, wings, fangs, slit pupils, fox-like ears.*
Kenshin: RETREAT!
Sano: Fujitanokiwamie (Sorry if that's misspelled)!!
Dove: *Sob* You're not even afraid of my in my youkai form!
Kenshin: What ARE you, anyways?
Dove: *Grumble* Isn't it OBVIOUS scar-boy?
Kenshin: Um.. no.
Dove: I'm a Valkyre-Kitsune! Y'know, half angelic demon that ferries the souls of the dead to hell, and half fox-spirit! DUH!
Misao: *Flicks more Kunai*
Dove: DANGIT! *Tail swishes, sending the characters to the front seat*
Flying Characters: YAGHH!
Dove: Oooh CRAP!
Dove's mom: What are these?
Dove: PLUSHIES!
Dove's brother: The anime characters that live in Dove's room.
Dove's dad: Ah. Dove, can you get this black-haired one offa my ear?
Dove: *Rescues Soujiro from dad's ear, Kenshin from the arm rest, Misao and Kaoru from the visor, Sano from the 'seek' button, Watsuki from the lock, and Hiko from her mom's hair* Oh.. ah. *Sweatdrop* Where's Aoshi?
Aoshi: *Drinks some more of Dove's Tropical Sprite Remix*
Dove: .. oh..
Dove's mom: What did I tell you about going full Youkai in the car?
Dove: Sorry. Can't help it. I'll probably be like this the whole time we're here.
Kenshin: *Groans* START THE STORY!
Dove: *Raises eyebrow* Fine, Bossy-bob!
Aoshi: *Ponders the meaning of life*
Dark
Chapter Twenty-One
After the cheerful waitress had departed, the mood darkened somewhat.
"So.." Watsuki murmured, settling more comfortably on the cushion.
Kaoru had been looking around with thinly veiled facination, but immediately jerked her attention back to the conversation.
"I have a job for you, Battousai."
"Why did you have to MEET me to say this? You could have just given me the orders through Hiko." He muttered.
"Well, I didn't." Watsuki's voice took on a very final, commanding tone.
"Yes, sir." Battousai responded smoothly. Kaoru stayed silent, curious about these new 'orders' and what they had to do with her.
"Hiko has informed me that an opposing Syndicate member is in our territory. He moled into our organization, and we need to know what he knows. He's posing as a math proffessor at a local, prestigious, private highschool.
"I want you and the little lady to pose as students transferred from a different school. Actually, Sanosuke and.. whoever you are.. should probably go in as back-up." Soujiro snorted, but nodded. Sano had nodded the instant his name was mentioned. "Find out who he's working for, what he knows, and then kill him."
Battousai asked a question,
"Why don't you kidnap him and force the information out of him?"
"Because it will be much less messy. He should have things on his computers, and it's rumored he keeps the copied files in his desk where the janitor, an agent for his syndicate group, picks them up once a week and delivers them to whoever they are working for."
Kaoru stayed silent for a while, staring at Watsuki. And then she pressed her lips together in a thin line and slowly shook her head 'no'.
Watsuki looked somewhat surprised.
"No? What do you mean 'No'?" He growled. Kaoru stood shakily to deliver her idealistic speech.
"I don't work for you, Mister Watsuki. And to tell you the truth, I don't much like you, either. I don't spy, and I don't kill. Both of them are morally wrong, and the latter is a mortal sin. I don't plan on even doing either of them."
"She doesn't keep her mouth shut, either." Sano muttered.
Battousai just sat there calmly, making to move to accept Watsuki's orders or stop Kaoru's flow of words.
When she was done, he reached up and gently tugged her, throwing her off balance enough that she had to sit down next to him again.
In a pleasant tone, he whispered,
"But Kaoru. Wouldn't it be wonderful to finish your last months of highschool?" He asked his question purely in a curious way.
"Y..Yes.." She conceded slowly.
"Do you like math?"
"I would if I were any good at it.."
"Well. You can graduate AND have a little fun spying on the math teacher. I can handle the red part." His tone was gentle and persuasive.
Kaoru stared at him mistrustfully for a moment. And then allowed herself a tiny smile. She took a deep breath, chewing thoughtfully on her bottom lip. And then she nodded.
"Okay. I'll do it. For YOU, not Watsuki."
Battousai smiled gently down at her.
Kaoru stared at him. He was being awfully, kind..
He turned his head to Soujiro and Sano, who had been quietly conversing. They nodded in unison.
Battousai turned his falcon gaze on Watsuki.
"I will accept your mission." He informed him, dead-pan, as Jessie returned with their drinks.
Taking their food orders and adding some light banter, Jessie cheered the group up somewhat.
When she left, they practically divided into teams. Watsuki with Hiko, Kenshin with Sano, and Kaoru with Soujiro. The chatter wasn't deafening, but it was light-hearted and somewhat relaxed.
Kaoru wasn't in the mood the chat. She was still puzzling over Kenshin's suddenly 'forward' behavior. It was the last thing she had expected. 'Of course..'
"He was just trying to convince me to do it!" She realized aloud. And then blushed as Soujiro blinked at her. "Sorry.." He continued with his lecture of the finer points of his favorite show, 'Oh! My Goddess'. Normally, Kaoru would have countered with how superior Her wonderful Inuyasha was.
But she was lost in thought.
'That JERK! How could he! I should go bash him upside the head with a noodle!' She thought viciously. And then she mentally sighed. 'Aw, screw it. Sounds like fun to go to highschool again.' That decided, she began to launch an offensive against Soujiro, claiming the wonderfulness of her Inuyasha, how much BETTER it was than his show, how much smarter, the usual.
The food came quickly, and very soon everyone was eating and speaking with everyone in a much more relaxed manner. Kaoru and Soujiro had agreed to dissagree about the best anime of all time.
Watsuki left for about ten minutes, and then came back in hastily tucking a cellphone into his gi.
"Okay, Battousai. The school we're sending you and your group to is a 'rich' school, so you need some things to fit in. Uniforms, the usual school things, a couple of extras. You'll find all of it at your apartment tonight. Except for you, Sano. Yours, of course, will be at your apartment. You're all enrolled as seniors." Smiles all around.
The rest of the dinner was uneventful. Sano poured the tepid tea in Kaoru's hair, she smashed Soujiro's face into a plate of Sushi, he poured cooled Miso soup down the back of Kenshin's Hakama, Kenshin slapped a slab of fried tofu in Sano's hair, and so on.
Watsuki and Hiko stared in shock at the childish antics of their master shadoow assassin.
When they got back to the apartment, they were tired but eager to see what Watsuki had set up for them. They sent Sano packing with an order to be at their door at seven the next morning.
Kenshin opened the big box they found in the middle of the room as Kaoru kicked a Rubber Ducky she'd had the pleasure of stepping on very cheerfully across the room. The very first thing, on the very top, turned out to be Ids.
"So.. we have to be different people while we're at this place?" Soujiro pondered.
"It's called Kiyajo." Kaoru volunteered, picking up the Id with her picture on it. There wasn't just an Id, there was also a special school Id and a drivers license. Cool.
Kenshin was staring at his own.
"My name.. is Hiten Mitsurugi." Kenshin approved. "Flying Heaven's Honorable Sword Flow."
"How the HECK do you know that?" Kaoru questioned.
"Because it's also the name of my sword technique." He smirked at her. His eyes had returned to their normal violet the instant they'd left the resturant, so that smirk looked quite out of place on his innocent face.
"My name is Igazuchi Ouki." Soujiro muttered. "That's a really stupid name."
"It means Thunder Profoundness. It's taken from two of the attacks of my style, the Sou-Ryu-Sen Igazuchi and the Ouki Ama-Kakeru-Ryu-No-Hirameki. Obviously they liked referring to how I fight.." He muttered. "The last time I was undercover, they used fruits as their theme.." His eyes turned to Kaoru, Soujiro's following suit.
"So. What's yours?" Soujiro asked before Kenshin had the chance.
"Arashi Tsumuji." Kaoru responded.
"Basically the end of that is 'Gyrate' and the beginning is a much more forceful version." Kenshin murmured. "Ryu-Kan-Sen-Arashi is where the beginning comes from, and Ryu-Kan-Sen-Tsumuji is where the end comes from."
"You have a good memory." Kaoru approved. Kenshin shrugged.
"I've been practicing the Hiten Mitsurugi style since I was eight."
That empowering conversation finished, Kaoru pulled the next items out of the box. Their uniforms.
They split up to try them on, Kaoru to her bedroom, Soujiro to his bathroom (He'd claimed it, and slept in the tub), and Kenshin to the kitchen.
They came out on by one, Kenshin, Soujiro, and then Kaoru.
Kenshin and Soujiro modeled matching outfits that consisted of blue slacks, crisp white dress-shirts, dark blue blazers with the school insignia on the top right (Decorating the small pocket there), and shiny black shoes. Their socks were hidden.
Kaoru was the proud wearer of a much more.. fleshy.. outfit. The skirt ended about two inches above her knee. It was pleated, flared slightly, and was a blue that matched the slacks that graced the guys. She also had a long-sleeved white shirt with a blue scarf, blue socks, and black shoes.
It was all crisp, clean, and slightly nauseating. Her scarf had the school insignia on it, screaming to the world that she went to a private school.
"Well. These are.. odd." She decided aloud. "At my old school we wore jeans and t-shirts.." The other two agreed. And the Soujiro pulled out the next objects to scrutinize. Back-packs.
They were the blue of their uniforms, and proudly sported the school insignia. Kaoru's was an over-a-single-shoulder while the guys both found themselves assigned the normal, every-day kind that went over both shoulders.
Kaoru chuckled, "I'm actually having fun. Didn't even have to go shopping!" Kenshin had the honor of pulling out all of the school supplies and dividing them up. That was it.
After changing back to normal and putting her things away, Kaoru came out to find the guys also dressed normally. Soujiro's hair was black again, and styled in a more spiked-up way. Kenshin's hair was also black, and back in a tight braid.
"Ah, goody." With Kenshin's help, Kaoru also regained her own old haircolor.
"So. What do you want to do with your hair?" Kenshin asked, snipping the scissors noisily next to her ear.
"Well.. A bob."
"Huh?"
"About a half an inch below the chin, even all around, surely you know what a BOB is!"
"Oh.." So Soujiro made a nasty commentary ('Oops! There goes an ear!' 'Ooh, she's gonna HATE that!' 'Wow, you're all bald right there!') While Kenshin worked. Until Kaoru pinned him to the ground with her legs and tried to feed him her right foot.
Kenshin held up the mirror as Soujiro finally gave up his struggles.
Kaoru looked in it, and released Soujiro. It looked.. so different. Nothing like her.
"I'm guessing this was so no one would recognize us?"
"Brilliant deduction." Kenshin teased.
"And what about our Id's?"
So Kenshin did another magic-trick. He produced a camera, a polaroid. And then he did some snipping and altering.. and very soon the Id's were sporting their new looks.
"Cool.. where did you learn that..?" Kenshin shrugged.
"We need to get to bed, if we don't want to be zombies tommorrow." That agreed upon with much groaning, they all finally did go to bed.
A/N: Kami-sama this chapter SUCKS! I feel so stupid..
Kenshin: School starts VERY soon, and she might be stuck in Algebra 1 again even though she got a c+.
Dove: Shuddap. I might actually quit Dark. I just.. it's so frustrating! I have ideas out the wazzoo for what's going to happen. But I need many chapters to get there. Opinions? IDEAS?
Sano: And to everyone who was wondering, she added that hair-dye part for fun.
Soujiro: And she won't be able to respond to reviewers, she's a couple HUNDRED behind. So she just wants me to say:
HUGS AND KISSES TO EVERYONE!!! She's so happy and excited to get so many reviews, she hopes it continues, and apologizes for not responding personally anymore.
Oh yeah, Hope you had a great vacation CrazyFireKitsuneGirl..and to the person that wanted her to put in a good word to me, she did and I'm lookin' you up. ^_-
Goodnight. Review. Give ideas. Don't let Dark die.
Dove: Oh gosh, guys, I'm so sorry! I've had HORRIBLE writers block! Since I'm writing Dark as well as two other stories (Time Warp and The Only Way) I haven't been able to think of ANYTHING! And I'm still trying to figure out the highschool chronicles, too!! ARGH!
