A/N: ok, ok, I know I left a teeny weenie cliff hanger, but I’m back now, and the torture continues, It’s really not that big a deal… *runs away from flying fruits*

Chapter 6

The scene was indeed to die for. There in the center of the room was Kenshin. God knows how but he had some how managed to get his head through the leg opening of his hakama. The other leg opening seemed to be strangling his neck. Both of his legs were in the same sleeve of his gi, and it was pulled up all the way to his waist. Not to mention he had pulled his hair down and due to the static of trying to fight with his clothes he looked like an exited porcupine. Meanwhile the hysterically insane laugher of Sano and Yahiko was getting Battousai very pissed.

‘<Damn it! Why don’t you pay attention when you dress yourself?!>

<Ororororororo!!!!! They won’t stop laughing!!!!!>

<and why the fu*# would that be?!?!?>’

"What’s going on over there?" Megumi asked Kaoru

"I don’t know. Was that Kenshin yelling?" she asked

"I think so. And for Kenshin to yell, some thing has to be up. I think I’ll go check on your baka rurouni." She said leaving a blushing Kaoru behind her.

"MY baka rurouni?!"

"Ken-san are you al--- … *blink*…………… HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!"

Megumi joined in the laughing bin after taking one look at Kenshin.

"Megumi-dono!!!" whined Kenshin

Megumi did no stop laughing. Yahiko and Sano were already on the ground clutching their stomachs.

"You know I didn’t ask for you to come here just so you could entertain yourselves and laugh at me de gozaru yo!!" yelled Kenshin, Battousai on the verge of exploding.

Like he expected, that stopped no one.

"Kenshin? Is everything ok in there?" said a concerned voice from outside

‘<PANIC!!!! FEAR!!!!! DISAPPEAR!!!! HIDE!!!!! LEAVE!!!! EVACUATE!!!!! MOVE!!!! GO!!!!>

<ORORORORORORORORORO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?!?!?!?!??!?>’

Everybody in the room stopped laughing, temporarily at least.

"It’s busu!"

"Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me!"

"She can’t see Ken-san like this!"

"Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me!"

"What is Jou-chan doing here anyway?!"

"Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me! Hide me!"

"Guys, I’m coming in!" announced Kaoru

everybody’s eyes bulged.

"ORORORORORORORO!!!!!!!!!!"

"KUSO!!!!!"

"SHIT!!!!"

"BUSU NO!"

Without thinking Kenshin jumped onto Sano’s back and clung to him like a baby Koala to his mother.

"Dammit Kenshin!" was all Sano said before

The door slid open and in stepped a very curios Kaoru. Everyone formed a small line and stood as strait as they possibly could with sweat drops and fake smiles on their faces. Kaoru looked them over and then eyed the room.

"What’s going on? Is everything all right? where is Kenshin?" she asked

"Nothing’s going on." Responded Yahiko

"Everything is all right" answered Megumi

Everybody looked to Sano, he sweat dropped.

"Wow! you look nice Jou-chan" he said to Kaoru. She eyed him.

"What?" he asked Kaoru

Kaoru said nothing. She simply looked behind him. Sano stepped out of the way. Kenshin sweat dropped. Kaoru studied the back wall closely. Then turned to Sano again.

"I know you’re hiding something…" she said to him

Both Sano and Kenshin sweat dropped. Yahiko giggled. Kaoru was on him in a flash.

"You know where he is don’t you?!"

"Ahhhh! No! jeez!" he said in self defence.

Meanwhile Kenshin’s legs were slipping due to the fact that they where held together very tightly.

"Kuso stop twitching!" Sano whispered

Kaoru whipped herself over to Sano and pinned him against the wall.

‘<AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! ITAIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!>

<ORORORORORO!!! THE PAIN!!!!>

"Where is he Sagara Sanosuke?!"

"Tanuki! You are going to ruin your hair! Look what you did to it already! Here let’s go fix it!" she said yanking Kaoru out of the room.

"but…!" she protested as Megumi led her down the hall way

When they were at a safe distance Yahiko began to laugh once more and Sano sighed of relief. Kenshin on the other hand dropped to the floor in a heap of clothes, hair and bruises.

"Woah! Kenshin! Are you still alive?" asked Sano going to pick him up. He grabbed the rurouni by one hand and examined him. He giggled but held in the laugh.

With the help of the ever laughing Yahiko. Sano and him managed to free Kenshin from himself again. This time he and Yahiko supervised Kenshin while dressing up.

"Feh Kenshin! What were you thinking about?!"

Kenshin blushed at his earlier thoughts. About the, ehem, after date as Sano had called it.

"Kenshin! The arm goes in the sleeve." warned Yahiko.

He snapped back into reality and did as he was told.

"Well I don’t really blame you for being so baka tonight. Jou-chan really looks good. Just try not to do anything too stupid and you’ll be fine."

Kenshin sighed. He hoped this night would be a good one. God knows he was bound to mess up, but he hoped Kaoru would be patient. Kaoru. What would she look like. He had to admit that when Sano said she looked good, back when he was still strapped to his back, he had an unbelievable urge to sneak her a peek.

"Are you going to wear your hair like that?" asked Yahiko

Kenshin looked up at his still tangled bangs. He ran his fingers through it once or twice and untangled it. The good thing about having strait hair. Then he tied it at his nape.

"Why don’t you go with something different this time?" asked Sano "You know, Jou-chan fixed herself up pretty good. Why don’t you?"

"What else can I do with it? Besides, it’s just hair de gozaru."

"Here, let me help." Said Sano.

‘<Why do I not like this?>’

Sanosuke took the tie from Kenshin hair and set it aside. Then he gathered all of his hair again and began to pull, hard.

"Itai!!!!!! Sanosuke I still would like my hair on my head you know."

"Shut up and hold still." He answered

"Ahhhhhhh! What are you trying to do? Rip my head off de gozaru ka?!"

"Damn it Kenshin I told you to hold still!"

"Well how would you like it if someone were trying to decapitate you?!"

"Kuso! Damn! Shit! *#&%$~|°!!!!!"

"ORO! Sanosuke!!!!!"

"There!!! Finished!" he said satisfied with his work

actually the job Sano had done was ok. Even though Kenshin’s head was throbbing. He felt the monstrously tight ponytail on his head. It was up high.

‘<he he he, reminds me of the old days>’

"Well it doesn’t look horrible." Noted Yahiko.

"I did a good job." Said Sano eyeing his creation.

"yeah, um, arigatou… I think."

"Ken-san, it’s seven o clock." Said Megumi from outside his door.

Adrenaline rushed through him all over again. It was time, she was ready, he was ready. Wait, no! he wasn’t ready!

‘<yes you are! You have to do this! You have gone this far now come on!>

<demo…>

<What?! Get out that door and go get your woman!>

<Oro!? Kaoru is no one’s belonging.>

<*¬¬* go out the door baka>’
