Hi everyone! I'm back from the dead with a random update in the middle of August! WOOHOO!

So yeah, you're probably all wondering why I'm updating this now instead of at Christmas, but I forgot during the holiday season, and I currently have a whole day open for writing. And an extreme case of writer's block. -cries-

So, I'm trying to get rid of it with this generic holiday classic-the Twelve Days of Christmas. And although this A/N may not be as wacky as some, it does not mean that there will not be plenty of randomness in the song! So carry on, my loyal minions-erm, fans. -cough-

Disclaimer: Didn't. Don't. Won't-unless I win the lottery. An ultra, super cool lottery. But probably not.

Sing with me! Twelve Kenshin-gumi, eleven...OK, so you already suffered through it once. I'll spare you the pain.

Here are the note thingies:

(1) - This can also be substituted for 'dear Kenshin' throughout the song. I prefer it that way, actually, but if guys are reading this right now...yeah. (So it would be 'On the first day of Christmas, dear Kenshin gave to me:')

(2) - A bit confusing. Pronounced 'tra-a-aay-ning' so it lasts all those extra syllables... (Hey, I couldn't think of anything! Gimme a break!)

(3) - If you wanna poke a bit of fun at Kenshin, this can always be substituted for 'girly' thoughout the song. ('Two girly swordsman') Teehee evil! -bats eyelashes-

(4) - Childish chibi. You should probably be able to figure this out on your own. -cough-Yahiko-cough-

(5) - My my, did they let Kaoru near the stove AGAIN? You'd think they'd learn their lesson...

Mini Glossary:

Tanuki - raccoon
Kitsune - fox
Chibi - little kid
Sakabatou - reverse blade sword

And that's it! I hope you enjoyed it and please review and request!

...now, if I can only find my stupid notebook with Let It Snow...
