Chapter Two: Um…Yeah, It's Another Chapter…
A while later, they appeared at their destination to find everyone gathered into the dojo and Hiko at the front at the audience, looking like he was about to give a speech. He looked over at Misao and Megumi.
"I sensed it was time to get ready." Figures. He was going to give a speech. After Megumi and Misao sat down, Hiko cleared his throat and opened up a scroll. At least it was a well prepared speech. Unseen to the eyes of the audience though, was the title of the scroll, which was 'Project: Let's all make fun of Kenshin, and embarrass him so bad he wants to live under a rock for the rest of his lowly life'. Wow, what a long title.
"I, Hiko Seijirou the 13th, challenge you, Himura Kenshin, to a dare."
"I accept…"
"Fool! Haven't I taught you common sense? You need to know what you're agreeing to before you agree!" This confused Kenshin, because if the dare was really this bad, why would Hiko warn him about agreeing after he agreed?
"What exactly is it that I'm doing? And is all this-'' Kenshin gestured towards the mini audience "- really necessary?" The small audience Kenshin waved to was currently missing one person. Well, it was missing his mind. Shinomori Aoshi was spacing ou-, meditating. With his eyes open too. He was picking at the floor playing 'exterminate all the little dirt specks'. And the game goes something like this:
'DoDooDooDoo! DumDaDooDoo! DooDunDanDunnnnnn!!!!! Oh no! There's a little speck! Who cleans these floors! They're filthier than Misao's bed used to be every single morning when she was five! Bam! Gone! Wait, it's still here! Whoa, it's like, a whole sea of specks! And they keep reproducing! Like those single-celled bacteria thingies! Go binary fission! Hey, the specks are moving! Why can't they go away?! There are practically millions of these things! Hey, wait, that's my shadow….'
"Hmph, wouldn't you like to know. And yes, this is necessary. Or your friends won't know why you're wearing a dress on Halloween."
"Huh?!"
"You are to dress up as a female." Kenshin stared in disbelief. 'Is this a joke?', he thought confusedly.
"No, this is not a joke." It was as if Hiko had read Kenshin's mind. He probably did. "On Halloween, you go as a female, and if more than four people confuse you for one, I tell embarrassing stories about you." Aoshi was still tuning out the conversation. "For every person after four, one story is told about you."
"This sound well planned." It was. "Is there any reason I have to do this?"
"No. This was a test of your intelligence. And you failed." Kenshin cheered up; a small ray of hope shone. Maybe, he didn't have to do this.
"You still have to do this." Kenshin felt somewhat violated, and creeped out. Hiko read his mind again.
"Whhhhyyyyyyy?" He said in a somewhat whiny voice.
"Because your pain is funny. And this might be the only chance I get to embarrass you with stories in front of your friends while all you can do is stand there and watch because you gave your word. Heh, I like the sound of that." Kenshin again, stared in disbelief. Hiko was being out of character, like he was being possessed by some evil spirit that fed off of people's embarrassment. Wait, there was some resemblance; the usual Hiko was just more subtle about it.
"OROOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Hiko likes the sound of it! It makes you wonder what stories Hiko plans on telling, doesn't it?
"You can choose your dress though."
"Lucky me."
"What? Who else would?"
"Poor Kenshin," Kaoru started. "How is he supposed to win this?" Sano spoke up, after watching the conversation play out.
"He won't." He turned to Kenshin. "It's been nice knowing you buddy, because if these stories are as embarrassing as your Shishou's making them sound, you'll want to die. Try suicide." Kenshin smiled. He appreciated Sano's attempt to cheer him up.
"Thank you Sano."
"You're welcome." Misao was snickering, and Megumi seemed to be thinking of a way to use this to her advantage.
"Sky blue." She said simply.
"Oro?" Scary... The room, in a creepy instance of mind control by our favorite angel, decided they had stuff to do at the exact same time, and got up, at the same time. Except Aoshi. He decided he had to space out, and study the wood patterns of the floor.
"Misao, why is Aoshi staring at the floor in complete fascination?" Sano asked, as though he was trying to ask the question as calmly as possible, without sounding he was scared of Aoshi's , um, insaneness…
"He's meditating." She stated.
"With his eyes open?" He questioned.
"Aoshi-sama does this a lot. It's a type of meditation." Sanosuke wasn't buying this. That was the dumbest crap he ever heard.
"Should I wake him up?" Sano whispered to Megumi, referring to Aoshi's state of sub-consciousness.
"Let him sleep." She answered.
Hiya! This chapter was strange, wasn't it... And it was kind of like too muck information was in one area.. But I can't figure out how not to do that...
Fatcat648: Things are looking up! Sorry about when you twisted your ankle, though it's kind of late to say that now... Good luck back!
kaiju29: Yesness! Goodness to the everythingsbetterness! Yeah, that word was supposed to be squished together... Whoa, I have to meet this friend of yours someday. You know, for a Misao model... I don't think Misao seriously came off as hyper. sigh Must work harder!!! O.O That's my determined face!
Katrina: Why do you love to make Aoshi out-of-charachter? And why is Sabrina in a cage?
Sabrina: LEMMEOUTLEMMEOUTLEMMEOUTLEMMEOOOOOUUUUUUT!!!!!!
flip-flop: I've realized a lot of things this past week. That I hate my teacher because she steals my catchphrases, even though I don't talk around her, that I have no life, and that there may be no way to figure out why my pop-tatrs taste like gum. I tried doing an ingredient search, but is to lazy to put up all the ingredients. And that Sabrina's been stealing my skittles too!
Chabela: I wonder what it would have been like if no one reviewed.
flip-flop: Much, much worse. Buahahahahaha!
Sabrina: Review please! So that I can live the life that flip-flop does'nt have. She might take me out of the cage if you do.
flip-flop: Hey! Just for that, another week.
Sabrina: NOOOOOOOO!!!!
