Kenshin and Bunny were curled up on the sofa watching the recently released CardCaptor Sakura Movie. Bunny sighed as she leaned into Kenshin's shoulder and took another sip of her hot chocolate. Despite that they lived in California, the day had been rather overcast, and the night air was very cool, so Bunny had recommended hot coco and a movie.
Kenshin closed his eyes for a moment, enjoying the close contact of the girl he had become so attached to.
"Kenshin…" she whispered to him to get his attention.
Kenshin opened his eyes and glanced down at her small face, framed in his arms.
"Kenshin…" she whispered again.
He leaned in closer to kiss her…
"KENSHIN!!! Get up!! Get up!! Get UP!!!" Bunny finally yelled as she jumped up and down on Kenshin's bed in his bedroom. 'Geez, you try to wake a guy up nicely and he practically kisses you in his sleep!' Bunny thought as she jumped up and down on the bed some more, making sure this time her friend was awake.
Startled, and disappointed to discover that he had been dreaming, Kenshin grabbed Bunny's dangling arm in mid-jump and pulled her down on top of him. "What is it Bunny?" he asked worriedly.
Bunny blushed from the compromising position and was unable to answer Kenshin's question.
Realizing that pulling Bunny down on top of him, was perhaps a bit over the top, Kenshin released her arm just as his younger counterpart walked in through the door.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE!!??" Battousai yelled to the two blushing figures on the bed.
"I was just uh…trying to wake up Kenshin for the party." Bunny explained, turning even redder at how it must have sounded.
Battousai quirked an eyebrow at Bunny, "oh really," he began, "you have not ever woken me up like THAT Bunny, believe me, I would remember!" he exclaimed, getting more worked up.
"She didn't," Kenshin butted in, "she was jumping up and down on the bed, and I pulled on her arm to get her to stop and she fell on me. You know how clumsy Bunny can be." Kenshin explained.
Battousai humphed. "Well, klutzo…I think you should get on the phone to call all those crazy girls again, and don't forget your promise to keep them from glomping me." He finally said.
"Ok!" Bunny said jumping off of the bed, happy to have a reason to leave the rather uncomfortable situation behind her.
As she closed the door on her way out, Battousai snarled to Kenshin, "don't forget, that I was here first, rurouni."
"Oh really?" Kenshin responded just as acidly, "so what exactly does that mean?" he asked as he narrowed his eyes dangerously at his younger counterpart.
"It means, she's mine, so back off!" Battousai yelled before he turned on his heal, opened the door and slammed it behind him on his way to the living room, where Bunny would be making her phone calls.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bunny was on the phone inviting Chibi-Angel when she heard muffled yelling and a door slam. She paused mid-sentence.
"Bunny?" Chibi-angel questioned into the phone at Bunny's sudden stop at her usually furiously quick talking.
"…."
"Bunny?" Chibi-angel asked again.
"Sorry chibi-angel-chan," Bunny finally said, "the Kenshin's are fighting about something again!" Bunny exclaimed in frustration.
"Oh, I see. Hmmm…we will have to do something about those two." Chibi-angel said.
"Yes, definitely. They are being so silly." Bunny agreed.
"I'll brainstorm and get back with you at the party on my ideas ok?" Chibi-angel offered.
"Sounds good, just…" Bunny paused as Battousai entered the room, "…don't forget the uh…ice cream" Bunny finished lamely.
"Are one of them there?" Chibi-angel asked secretly through the phone.
"Yeah." Bunny moaned in frustration.
"Ok, then…see you soon!!" Chibi-angel said.
"byes!" they both said as they hung up.
Bunny looked up at Kenshin and gave him a 1,000 watt smile, in an attempt to make up.
"Hn." Battousai said as he flopped himself on the couch next to her.
"Don't worry about the girls this time Kenshin, I've got an ace up my sleeve." Bunny said, trying to make light of the mood.
"Hn." Battousai said as his only acknowledgement that she said anything at all.
Bunny sighed. "Kenshin, it wasn't what it looked like in there with Kenshin, I promise." She finally said.
Battousai turned his head to look at her and opened his mouth to retort just as the door opened.
"BUNNY!!! Battousai!!" Susan exclaimed as she walked into the house with Chocolate Star.
"Girls!!" Bunny exclaimed, jumping up from her seat, her heart-to-heart with Battousai, forgotten.
"Bunny-chan!!" Chocolate star exclaimed happily, throwing her arms around her friend.
"Bunny, I just want to thank you so much for inviting me again!! The last party was so awesome!! Did you hear about Sano and Bao? OMG!" Susan said to Bunny.
"Yeah, I know, what a crazy party that turned out to be!" Bunny agreed, giggling.
"Hi Battousai!" Susan said as she sat down next to the young assassin and began to talk with him.
"So…uh…Chocolate Star, I've been meaning to ask you, are you going to be a reviewer for me for the 2002 Sailor Moon Fanfiction Awards?" Bunny asked Chocolate Star.
Chocolate Star sweat dropped. "Bunny!" she said exasperatedly. "We're in Rurouni Kenshin land right now, in case you forgot!" she said as she rolled her eyes at her sometimes completely clueless friend.
"OHHOHOHOHOHOHO!!" Bunny laughed doing a pretty good Megumi impersonation, but with a Bunny twist to it. The effect was quite astounding, it even got Battousai and Susan's attention.
"What?" Chocolate Star asked, wondering what Bunny had up her sleeve. Lord knows, the girl always had something up her sleeve.
Bunny grinned impishly as Kenshin also walked into the room. Noticing, her smile, Kenshin's rurouni grin, wavered. He knew that smile. It meant Bunny was up to something. In most cases, it was bad for him.
Before he had a chance to ask though, the door opened and in came Bao Blossom and Sanosuke, arguing as usual, but together, none-the-less.
"Hey Bunny-chan!" they both said in mid-argument.
"Hey guys!" Bunny said as they made their way past her and right towards the liquor bar. Bunny laughed at her friends just as chibi-angel appeared in the doorway, ice-cream in tow.
"Hey Bunny!" Chibi-angel said, while trying to fit through the door with all the bags of ice-cream she had.
"Need some help?" Kenshin asked her as he took a few bags from her hands.
"Thank you!" Chibi-angel said as she passed off the rest of the ice-cream to the younger Kenshin as well. After the two had disappeared into the kitchen, Chibi-angel nervously looked at Bunny.
Bunny grinned, figuring what was bothering her friend.
"Uh…Bunny…" Chibi-angel began.
"Yes?" Bunny asked, her smile getting even bigger.
"Uh…there are a bunch of guys…uh…in your front yard. They said they knew you, but uh…" Chibi-angel stopped and blushed.
"Whee!! My ace finally showed up!" Bunny exclaimed excitedly as she skipped to the door.
Chibi-angel threw her hand out to catch herself from fainting at Bunny's words. 'HOW does she know all those Bishounen?' she wondered. 'That lucky girl!!' Chibi-angel thought. Then with an impish grin of her own, chibi-angel thought, 'this is going to be the BEST party yet!'
As Bunny threw the door open, she immediately found herself in a big bear hug. "DUO!!" she exclaimed in happiness. "Did everybody make it?" she asked.
"Yep, I think so." He said. "I also brought my turntables so you can have a REAL party!" he told her and winked.
"You're the coolest friend!" Bunny gushed to him.
Susan, Chocolate Star and Chibi-angel all stood there with their mouths open as they watched all the Gundam Wing boys make their entrances, say hello to Bunny, with hugs and kisses, and then set up Duo's equipment.
As if that wasn't enough, immediately following Heero, in walked Trunks Briefs.
"Hey Princess!" Trunks exclaimed as he leaned over and gave Bunny a peck on the cheek.
"Trunks-kun!" Bunny exclaimed with a big smile. "I'm so happy you could make it!! I'm sure you will be able to distract some of the girls from the Kenshins!! Just like I promised them!" Bunny said.
"Don't worry about it Princess, I'm your man." Trunks said with a wink. "Plus, whatever, I can't handle, I'm sure some of my friends will be more than willing to take care of for you." He said as the rest of the DBZ guys sauntered into the quickly filling up living room. Shortly followed by the Fushigi Yuugi guys, the guys from Trigun, Ayashi no Ceres, Ranma ½, and Escaflowne.
Bunny just grinned some more as all her friends greeted her and joined the party.
"BUNNY!!" Gypsy-chan exclaimed walking into the house and grabbing onto Bunny's arm. "Bunny!! Did I just see who I thought I just saw walk into your house?" she asked excitedly.
"Yeah." Bunny answered.
Gypsy-chan's eyes widened. "How do you know all these people?" she asked.
"Well, you know…being the champion of love and justice and all…I get around." Bunny explained.
"Wow. That's crazy Bunny." Gypsy-chan said shaking her head. Then she grinned as she snapped her fingers. "Oh yeah! I brought those pictures from the last party!! I made a copy for you of the one of us with the Kenshin's too!! I thought you would like it!" she said as she handed Bunny a stack of pictures and a big blown up picture of her with Gypsy-chan and the two Kenshin's.
"Wow Gypsy-chan!! Thanks!!" Bunny squealed happily.
"Yeah, no problem!" she said as Kenshin wandered his way over to the door to chat with the two girls. He stopped next to Bunny and smiled at her.
"Hey Kenshin!" Gypsy-chan said as she gave him a hug.
"Hey Gypsy-chan!" Kenshin said smiling at seeing his friend again.
"Comon, let's go dance! Duo's blowing up this place up with these crazy beats!" Gypsy-chan exclaimed as she pulled Kenshin into the crowd of people dancing in Bunny's living room.
Bunny smiled as she watched her two friends dance away, and then moved outside onto her porch to be able to talk with the rest of the new arrivals. 'What a party already!' Bunny thought in her head.
"Hi Bunny!!" battousai angel yelled as she waved from her car pulling out a big tub of lemonade.
"Hey!!" Bunny yelled across the yard.
"It sounds like you have a raging party going on already!" battousai angel said as she stopped with the lemonade tub on the porch to chat with Bunny for a minute.
"Yeah…we do. It's pretty crazy in there!" Bunny exclaimed.
"Any hot guys yet?" battousai angel asked.
"Tons of them! Go on inside, I'm just waiting for a few more arrivals." Bunny said with a smile.
"Ok then!" battousai angel said as she proceeded in through the door.
Bunny looked at her watch/scout communicator and wondered when the rest of her special guests would arrive. She wanted to get in there are party after all…
Just then, a car pulled up. There were 4 girls inside all screaming their heads off and honking the horn.
"hey Bunny!!" sync*in exclaimed from the backseat when she saw their hostess waiting on the front porch.
"Hey sync*in!" Bunny said jumping up and down in excitement, finally her guests were here! "Koneko-dono!! Hana Himura!! Macy!! You guys are all LATE!!!" Bunny yelled.
The four girls cowered a bit.
"SOKAY BUNNY!!" Hana finally exclaimed. "I brought you chocolate bars to make up for it!!"
"SUGOI!!!" Bunny exclaimed as she swiped a baby ruth out of Hana's hand. "Ok, you're forgiven." Bunny said. All 5 of them grinned as they headed into the house.
Just as they got in the dance area, Battousai latched himself onto Bunny. "Bunny!" he exclaimed.
"Battousai!!" macy exclaimed. "OOHHHH" she said as a camera suddenly appeared in her hand. "Pose for the camera!!" she said as she began taking pictures of him.
Battousai smiled a bit for macy before dragging Bunny off into a corner.
"Bunny…" he began to interrogate her, "what is this I hear about you and that Trunks guy from Duo?"
Bunny paled a bit, scared of what was coming.
"BUNNY!!" chibi-angel said as she grabbed her away from Battousai and back on to the dance floor. As the two girls danced Chibi-angel said, "I had the perfect plan…but uh…then Trunks told Duo something and now everybody is talking about it. Is it true, what he said, about you and him and the Trunks from the future?"
Once again, Bunny fainted at her own party. This time, it was the younger Kenshin that caught her to break her fall. (a/n: What nice house guests they turned out to be ^_^;;) As she came to, there was a large group of people hovering over her, wondering if the young fanfiction author would be ok.
Bunny sighed, closed her eyes again, and wished she could have stayed passed out. The last thing she would have wanted was a story about her and TRUNKS!! Of all people!!
"HEY!!" she suddenly heard Bao exclaim.
She opened her eyes again to see that sync*in was trying to take Sano away to dance with her during all the commotion.
Bunny felt a fight breaking out. It made her nervous, she hated fights. Especially between friends, especially over guys. Moaning she pushed herself up from the floor, only to be greeted by the very guy she didn't want to see at that particular moment.
"Trunks. What did you tell Duo?"
"EHEHEHEHEHEHHHHHH," Trunks laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head.
"Your dead purple boy!!" everyone heard Kenshin yell as he, and his younger self together, unsheathed their swords and rushed towards Trunks.
Everyone gasped.
Gypsy-chan and macy began snapping pictures. Bunny collapsed onto Hana and Koneko-dono. "HELP!" she said to them.
"Here…" battousai angel said as she handed Bunny a carton of chocolate chip ice cream and joined them on the sofa. "Just enjoy the fight, I'm sure it will be interesting." She added.
Bunny groaned. "Why do my parties always turn out like this?" she whined to no-one in particular. Then she opened up the ice cream and dug into it, hoping it would take away all her worries.
"Do you think you'll have another party?" Duo asked walking over to the 4 girls as the fight raged on.
"With you here?" Bunny asked. "Definitely not."
Duo pouted as all the girls started laughing.
Bunny smiled, finding a new purpose for her party…to make Duo pay.
Till next time…if Bunny can convince herself to throw another one…
Bunny ;D
