Kyoto...
The Aoiya...
Valentines day... or should I say evening...

(((A wintry waft of February wind seems to melt as it enters the room.
If it is understood that hell hath no fury than a woman scorned,
what can be equated from a peeved raccon-girl, an equally 
irritated fox-lady, and a somewhat disappointed young waitress?
Alas, in a rather futile attempt, Tsubame tries to placate the 
relatively pissed Kaoru and Megumi...
pissed at their disturbingly clueless male counterparts...
and pissed at males in general.

Enter a certain okashira.
Immediately, eerily so, odd and pleadingly hopeful glances are
shot in his direction. If he was first disturbed by the glances, 
he now became highly perturbed as the glares melted from hopeful
to scornful... 

Amidst the chilling display before him, he continues mechanically
in the endeavor given to him by a certain bearded elderly man. His 
battle instincts discern something of a set-up, yet the desired 
end of returning to his room can only be acquired upon completion 
of the task at hand.
 
Now filled with the aura of 3 pissed women along with the addition 
of coldness unparalled, the room is charged with icy and electricly
dangerous tension. 

Jiya emerges from a certain backdoor and shivers as 8 eyes peirce
him. He recovers from the arctic blast, and begins to strum a certain 
instrument. To the pleasant surprise of all, Kenshin soon emerges 
(looking dashingly delicious ^_^) surrounded by a heavenly white 
spotlight which complements his dazzingly  white gi and hakama.))) 

[Kenshin approaches the general direction of the woman, keeping in mind
and heart a specific one as he sings...]

You are...

My fire...

The one...  [Holds up a finger for a desired effect] 

Desire...

Believe...

When I say

I want it that way. [Kaoru nearly melts into putty... "Kenshin" she says.]

[From the same backdoor enter Misao in a white kimono. Aoshi's eyes drift 
menacingly to a certain old man. His focus is apparantly broken by Misao's
voice, and his eyes shift helplessly to her as she sings.]

But we.

Are 2 worlds [Holds up 2 fingers for the equally desired effect] 

apart...

can't reach to-o

your heart. [She closes her eyes and touches her chest] 

When you say.

that I want it that way.

Tell me why-ee? [Looks away]

*ain't nothin' but a heartache* 
[*...* = kenshin & voices from beyond the backdoor (Sano, Yahiko)]

Tell me why-ee? [continue Misao]

*ain't nothin' but a mistake... tell me why*

I never want to hear you say [Misao looks pleadingly at Aoshi.]

*I want it that way.*

[Backdoor opens revealing Sano in a white western suit which is highly
 reminiscent of Howie's in the video (drool drool)... He too is 
complemented with celestial white spotlight. Megumi blushes and
looks away as he begins singing.] 

Am I...

Your fire?

The one...  [Holds finger up for desired effect]

desi.. re

Yes I know...

it's too late... [eyes begin to gleam dangerously]

But I 

want

it

that way.

Tell me why-ee? [Shoves his hands in his pockets and glares at Megumi]

*ain't nothin' but a heartache*

Tell me why? [Looks at the ceiling]

*ain't nothing mistake... tell me why?*

*I never want to hear you say...*

*I want it that way...*

[To everyone's surprise, Aoshi approaches Misao... He sings...]

Now I can see that we're fallin' apart

from the way that it used to be

yeah... [Misao is nearly moved to tears]

No matter the distance

I want you to know

that deep down inside of me... 

[Enter Yahiko in a white gi and Hakama. He is surrounded by white
spotlight. He blushes profusely, yet he begins to sing... and in
Tsubame's direction...]

You are

my fire

the one [Holds finger up for desired effect]

desire

You are [Looks at Tsubame.]

*you are*
[Sing Kenshin, Misao(with Aoshi), Sano, and Yahiko]

*You are*

*YOU ARE*

DON'T WANNA HEAR YOU SAY!! [Sano sings/yells while collapsing onto his knees]

*ain't nothin' but heartache*
[Kenshin, Misao (with Aoshi), Yahiko]

*ain't nothin' but mistake*

Don't wanna hear you say... [Yahiko]

*I never wanna hear you say*

*I want it that way.*

TELL ME WHYYYYYYY? [Sano again... A disenchanted Megumi rolls her eyes]

*ain't nothin' but heartache*

*ain't nothin' but mistake*

*I never wanna hear you say*

*I want it that way.*

[Kenshin sings calmly and sweetly...]
Cuz I

want it

Tha-at way... 
[He closes his eyes and bows his head...
The rest of the white-clad group does the same.] 

(There is a huge silence followed by laughter, tears, smiles, and
embarrasment. Gifts have yet to be exchanged...)

Kyoto.
Valentines Night...
Umm...
That's none of your business!

~OWARI~

NOTES:

1. I took some liberties... I know there are 5 boys, but in this fic, there's
only three... one of them was Misao and then there was Aoshi 
(snickers at major OOCness)... oh well...
