"Half-baked
Gift"
by SiriusFan13
Kenshin sat on the steps to the engawa, holding an icepack to the very large lump on his head when Sano had found him Christmas evening. Sano took a seat next to the rurouni and send him a questioning look.
Kenshin sweatdropped.
"Okay. Spit it out. What happened?"
Kenshin cleared his voice and replied softly, "Megumi-dono gave Kaoru-dono a gift."
"So?"
Kenshin shifted uncomfortably. "It was something called an Easy-Bake oven. Apparently there is no way to poorly bake using it."
"Ahhhh," said Sano, leaning back with sudden understanding. "And the raccoon still wrecked the food."
"It would have been good," Kenshin replied quickly in her defense, "if it didn't have the consistency of a rock."
Sano snorted, while Kenshin rubbed his head. "Sessha should have just swallowed it. Then it couldn't have been used as a dangerous, blunt object, that it could not…"
"And where is Kaoru, now?" Sano asked, feeling a bit uneasy.
"Kaoru-dono is baking something called a fruitcake for Megumi-dono…"
