____________________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer!: I didn't create Kenshin and it's characters! This is just what I do for fun! __________________________________________ Couch Potatoes part 4 (final) __________________________________________ ###### Yokohama, Night of the Pageant ###### Kamatari: Sorry to spoil such a *lovely* occasion, but we've got a score to settle. *evil grin creeps across his face* Kamatri: As we speak, your precious ladies are being tended to backstage. ###### Yokohama, Backstage ###### A barrage of men in black (no pun intended) approach the women. Man 1: Ladies, we'll need your cooperation... Man 2: Unless you want to die... *all of them pull out swords* Man 3: And we wouldn't want that... Kaoru steps out with her bokken. Kaoru: Have you any honor? How dare you attack us like this? As far as i'm concerned, there will be no blood shed here tonight... Man 4: *insert chuckle* Is that so? Kaoru: Not as long as i'm here... Girls, run! *Silence* Kaoru: I said run! *Silence* Kaoru turns around before sweatdropping at what she sees. The women have weapons in their hands ranging from rolling pins, to swords, to chains and whips. The men in black sweatdrop as well. Kaoru turns around with a defiant gleam in her eye. Kaoru: Well, let's begin, shall we?? ######### Shishi-o's Couch ######### Yumi: I can't believe you're making me do this! Shishi-o: We'll be there soon! Yumi looks down at the aluminum foil wrapped around her. Yumi: You watch way too much television... I don't see how this will work. Shishi-o sighs. Shishi-o: Move a little to the left. Yumi reluctantly steps left causing the aluminum foil around her shin to fall. Shishi-o grins from behind the Television set. Shishi-o: Raise your right arm. Yumi raises her arm causing the TV to glow. Yumi's eyes widen with shock. Yumi: what just happened? Shishio chuckles. Shishi-o: A molecular jump caused by the sudden influx of the radiation signals. By merely adjusting the configuration of the paneling, I have created a window... Yumi: But how?? Shishi-o: Where's the remote. ######### Yokohama ######### Kamatari: *insert chuckle* You shall see the power of the Shin-juppongatana. *motions backstage* Kamatari: Shall we bring out one of your lovely ladies... Rolph! *silence* Kamatari: Rolph! ---Judges corner--- Himura leans over to Saitoh. Himura: Something must have happened. Saitoh: Most likely. Aoshi unsheaths his Katana. Saitoh: What are you doing? Aoshi sits still. Aoshi: Did you feel that? The atmosphere... Himura: The air... it's like lightening. --- Onstage--- KamaTari: Rolph! Suddenly, Kamatari gasps. Kaoru slowly drags a man in black onto the stage. Misao gasps. Misao: Kaoru? Kaoru: Is this Rolph? Suddenly two more girls in ripped clothing drag more men onto the stage. Girl 1: *dragging a man in black* Is this Rolph? Girl 3: *dragging a man in black* Maybe this is Rolph? Girl 7: *dragging a man in black* This might be Rolph, he's got an "R" embroidered on his shirt. More girls continue to pile unconcious men in black onto the stage. ---Judges corner--- Kenshin: ... *sweatdrops* Saitoh: ... *sweatdrops* Soujiro: ... *smiling* Aoshi: ... Hm?... It's coming from over there... Misao, get away from there! ######### Shishi-o's couch ######### The living room is surrounded by blue, electric light. Shishi-o: It's opened! Yumi: Ahh! Shishi-o: Just one more button... ######### Yokohama ######### Misao: Eh?... Ahhh!! She is suddenly blasted straight into the judges panel by what seems to be blue lightnening. She lands on Soujiro who catches her just in time. Kenshin: The lightening... is blue. Hiko: It looks like a portal. All the judges are now armed. The crowd gasps as something begins to protude out of the electrically charged hole... Shishi-o's couch. Kenshin: Shihshi-o? Soujiro gasps. Kamatari gasps. Kamatari: I knew you would come... You came back for me... *tears form in his eyes* Kamatari: Shishi-o sama... Shishi-o: So we meet again-- Nani? The couch begins to move the other way. Koaru gasps. Shishi-o: Why am I going back? Kenshin: He's leaving... Misao: What's going on?? Shishi-o: No!!! Suddenly, the portal closes. Kenshin: What was that? Saitoh: I don't even know myself. All the judges save Soujiro turn towards the stage. They watch Kamatari and the pile of unconcious men. Kamatari: Shishi-o sama left without me... again. Kenshin: I thought he was dead... Was this Kamatari's doing? Saitoh: He may be more dangerous than we thought. Hiko: He can summon the dead... Aoshi: What magic was that? Saitoh: The real question is, What was able to stop it?? ######### Shishi-o's couch ######### Shishi-o: Che. I was so close! What interfered? Yumi: This doesn't look good... Shishi-o: What? Yumi: The TV's gone. Shishi-o: What?? Yumi: Yes... and there's a red booklet on the floor. Shishi-o picks up the booklet. [~You have breeched code 46 of your contract with Celestial Satellite Corporation. You are no longer eligable for reception of our programming, and are no longer eligable for reincarnation. The rest of this booklet entails the cost of your teleportation and legal fees...~] Yumi & Shishi-o: Legal fees?? [~ Yes, legal fees. You are being sued and at your request, being provided an attorney.~] Yumi and Shishi-o faint. ######### Yokohama ######### Kamatari sits in handcuffs. Hiko: Well, the winner of the third annual Miss Meiji pagent is... Miss Tokyo, Kamiya Kaoru Kaoru walks onstage with a toothy smile. --- The judges corner--- Kenshin: *smiling* Kaoru-dono. Hiko nudges Kenshin as Megumi places the crown atop her head. Misao finally comes to. Misao: What happens. Soujiro looks down and smiles. Soujiro: Are you okay? Misao nods. Misao: I think so... Aoshi glances at Misao and Soujiro. Saitoh: A match made in heaven ne? Aoshi's expression falters. Soujiro: Can you stand? Misao gazes into his deep eyes. Misao: *breathless* Hai... Aoshi: Ahem... Are you alright Misao? Misao: Aoshi-sama? ######### 4 days later, Hannya's couch ######### A 6 year old Hannya sits in front of his TV set. --Television-- It's time for Hiko and Friends! Hiko: Hello boys and girls! *pulls out Baka deshi dummy* Baka deshi dummy (kenshin): Howdy doody?? *Hiko thwaps kenshnin's head* Hiko: Baka! Don't say that name! Anyways boys and girls, let's go see our Friends. The screen swirls until we see a pink and red room. There is a dog house in the corner and a futon where Ayame and Suzume jump. Ayame: I don't know how to jump. Suzume: I'll teach you... ::Ding Dong:: *the door bell rings. Ayame and Suzume run to the door* Suzume: Who is it? Hiko: It's me, Hiko-niisan. *They hastily open the door and yell* Ayame and Suzume: Hiko-niisan!! *Hiko hugs the girls* Hiko: So what have you two been up to? Suzume: I was going to teach Ayame how to jump. Ayame: Can Hiko-niisan help? *Hiko smiles* Hiko: Sure! And maybe Sano-kun wants to help. *Ayame and Suzume cheer as Hiko walks over to the dog house* Hiko: Here boy! *A low, angry growl is heard from the dog house* *Hiko squints his eyes* Hiko: Maybe I didn't say that correctly... for the sake of your paycheck, Here Sano-kun! *Sanosuke bounds out of the dog-house in a dinosaur-suit* Ayame & Suzume: Sano-kun!! ~~An 18 year old Beshimi walks into the room.~~ Beshimi: What are you watching? *He picks up the remote control and notices a fork sticking out of the nearby outlet.* ---Click--- Voice: We now return to "All My Aoiya's" Misao opens the front door. Misao: Tadia-- *She drops her package as the cameras zoom into the startled faces of Aoshi and Megumi who share a blanket.* Aoshi: Misao! ---Hannya's couch--- Behsimi: Aoshi-sama?? ~OWARI... maybe~ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES: 1.
