From: kenshinkawaii@yahoo.com Continuing my little parody. This follows right after part 1: Tokyo Invasion.(duh!^_^) This one has an unexpected surprise guest. ^_^ Again, this story is about my feeble attempts to speed things up and set things right in the RK world. But will my plans backfire???! I dunno yet hehehe Disclaimer:All anime characters do not belong to me. I'm just borrowing. The Meiji Mission part 2 by Myki-chan Part 2: Inside Job "WOA! What a beauty!" Myojin Yahiko peered down on the lifeless form. He traced his gaze along the length of the slender figure. With trembling hands he reached out to touch the object of his fascination and hold it close to his heart. "WOW! I've never seen anything quite as awesome as--" Myki sat up, awakened by the sudden movement and voice of the boy. "What do you think you're doing!" Startled, the boy dropped the black ink pen. It bounced on the floor and rolled towards a crack in the wooden floor. "Quick! Grab it! Before it--" Too late. The pen easily slipped through the crack and into the darkness. And suddenly, time stood still. Yahiko was stuck with the startled expression and Myki was frozen in midair in a diving position for the pen. And soon, she magically dissapeared. Oct. 7,1999 Jamaica 11:30 a.m. "Great! How am I supposed to continue with my fanfic when there's no pen! Grrr! That stupid boy." Myki lay motionless on her bed for a moment, exhausted from the day's adventures and being magically transported back to reality. Oh yeah, she was also thinking of the clever ways in which the story could be continued. 5 minutes passed...no movement. 30 minutes passed...no movement. 1 hour passed...no movement. 2 hours passed...no movement. Then... "All that thinking is making me sleepy. I'll just take a little nap--" Hog-like snorts were heard immediately (a.k.a. snoring). 5 minutes later... "Ok. I'm ready!" She sprung up from her bed, and walked towards her study desk where a giant rusty cookie tin awaited on top. Well rested from her nap, she practically glowed with renewed energy. She yanked off the cookie tin lid, revealing hundreds of similar black ink pens inside. For an instant, all determination and confidence left her vibrant face as she battled with herself on which pen to choose. As always, when she isn't able to decide, she'd always resort to random pick. With eyes shut tight, and biting her lower lip, she ventured her hand into the depths of the tin. After several minutes of swirling her hand in a clockwise motion, a black ink pen was produced. And as always, this pen, no matter how similar it's appearance maybe to the rest, becomes special and unique. It was now ' The Chosen Pen'. "I'm now readyyy!!!" She, jumped onto her bed. Everything on her bed bounced up from the impact and fell on the floor. Now it was just her, her fanfic book and ' The Chosen Pen'. "Now where was I..." The Meiji Era Tokyo "Quick! Grab it! Before it---" Too late. The pen easily slipped through the crack and into the darkness. "Lucky for you I've got a spare one." Myki proudly held up a similar pen. "Wow! How did you do that?" asked Yahiko, all wide eyed. "You don't wanna know, Kid. This is some really deep stuff." "Don't call me KID!!!" "Ah watever...KID!!!" "Grrr!" Yahiko chased after Myki but tripped on his own hakama and fell face down. "Haha! That's what you get for calling Kaoru names. Plus she's my role model. And by insulting her, you insult Kenshin's taste in women!" "Oro?" Kenshin stood, not so far away, with a tub of tofu in his hands. He looked shocked and embarrassed. Apparently, he heard the whole argument. He quikly recovered and put on a cheery smile. "So, you're finally up. Tell me, what's your name de gozaru?" "Wow! He's actually talking to me. Kenshin Kawaii! Kawaii! Kawaii! Kawaii!" Myki gets all starry eyed and started jumping up and down. Kenshin and Yahiko had stupid faces and sweat drops. Myki recovered. "Um, oh yeah, um my name...uh...is Myki...err...Shinomori Myki." "Nani? Are you by any chance related to Shinomori Aoshi?" Kenshin asked, obviously shocked. "Uh...I don't think so...maybe I am... I don't know...err...but hey! I look nothing like the guy. Well, he's he's tall and he's a guy. While I'm short and and I'm a girl. Hehheh (sweat drops)." "Good point," Yahiko said sarcastically. "And don't forget I'm cheerful and perky and he's Mr. Stoneface." "Yeah you and Misao-chan." "So, you can call other people -chan but we can't call you -chan? Hehhehheh. I'm gonna sooo annoy you." She grinned evilly and took a deep breath and started shouting (while running away too)... "Yahiko-chan! Yahiko-chan! Yahiko-chan! Yahiko-chan! Yahiko-chan! ..." "Don't call me -chan!!!" With Yahiko at her heels, they disappeared around the corner. Kenshin was left with a stupid face and a sweat drop. He shrugged and proceeded to the kitchen to make breakfast. ******************* Myki hid behind a wall and watched with a smirk as Yahiko ran pass her. She looked to her right and caught a glimpse of Kaoru in a white bath robe. * Hmm...she's gonna take a bath. * "Great! Now I can complete my Jinchuu! Uh, I mean match-making! Good thing I found this pokeball somewhere in my imagination." Myki throws pokeball and shouts, "Jigglypuff, I choose you!" Blue laser shoots out of the pokeball and a cute little blue-eyed creature appeared. "Jigglypuff! Jigglypuff!" "Ok, Jigglypuff, now I want you to--" It jumped onto Myki's head and pounced off into a bush. "Wait! Where'd she go?" Myki looked around but Jigglypuff was nowhere to be found. "Shoot! I forgot I wasn't a pokemon trainer. They won't listen to me. Damn!" She neared the kitchen and peeped into it. Kenshin was chopping up some vegetables. * Ok, I'll have to use some forceful tactics.* She cracked her knuckles and went in. Kenshin turned around almost immediately with a knife in his hand, pointing it at her. "Ken--aiyaiyaii!" "Oh, gomen de gozaru." He puts down the knife. He looks at her and smiled,"breakfast will be ready soon, Myki-dono." Myki fought the urge to get all starry eyed again. Instead, she patted him on the back and said cheerfully, "just call me Myki-chan. Afterall we're gonna be like pals." She nudged him with her elbow and said in a low voice," 'cause I'm gonna help you get laid. Ya know wat I'm sayin'." "Oro?" Kenshin had that innocent and confused expression. "Ok. Don't wreck your brain over it." She pulls him out of the kitchen. "Just go take a bath, 'cause boy you could use one, and I'll finish making breakfast." With that, she shoved him into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Kenshin tried the door but it appeared to be locked from the outside. *Since when do we have a lock on the outside of the bathroom?* He looked around the room and gasped when he saw a kimono, obi, tabi, and a green ribbon piled neatly on top of one another. *Uh-oh. Kaoru-dono is in here. What do I do? What do I do?* He panicked and started biting his fingernails nervously. "Kenshin? Is- is that you?" Kaoru called from the adjoining room. "H- hai, de gozaru," he responded in a low shaky voice. "What are you doing?" Her voice sounded slightly suspicious. "I...er...um...came to take a bath." *What's Kenshin up to?* Kaoru thought. Her heart was racing double time. She couldn't possibly get out of the tub. All her clothes were in the next room. Right now there was no sound in the other room. "Kenshin? Are you still here?" "H-Hai de gozaru," came a shaky weak reply. "Um...I do need to change you know," hinted Kaoru, hoping Kenshin would get the idea and leave. "Um, Kaoru-dono, I don't know how to tell you this but I can't leave." "Nani?" *Is Kenshin finally going to confess his love for me? And he chose to do it in the bathroom! How romantic!* "Well...uh...you see...I'm sorta locked in." Kaoru's heart sank. *So he didn't come in here to seduce me afterall.* Her heart was suddenly filled with pain and dissapointment. "I don't know how it happened," Kenshin was saying, "but I was suddenly pushed in here and --" "Kenshin, could you bring me my clothes? I'd like to get changed," Kaoru interrupted impatiently. "Sure de gozaru," he nervously replied. He picked up the pile of clothes and suddenly felt his knees go weak. *If I bring her these...then I'll see her n-naked!* All hesitation left his mind and he proceeded forward growing excited with every step he took. In his mind, he felt like skipping along singing, *I'm gonna see Kaoru naked! I'm gonna see Kaoru naked!* *STOP!* Kenshin went dead on his tracks. A little voice, (which was very loud awhile ago), in his head began to lecture him. *What do you think you're doing, Kenshin? You're not that kinda guy. You're supposed to be polite and innocent minded. You're supposed to be dense and clueless. You're supposed to be a prude. Not smutty minded!* "Kenshin?...please hurry. I'm getting cold." Her voice was a little edgy with a hint of desperation. Kaoru's calling prompted Kenshin to continue forward. He stepped into the adjoining room and immediately turned white and then red. Although Kaoru wasn't standing butt naked before him, the sight of her in the bath tub was overwhelming. She was crouched, most of her body below the water level. Her arms were crossed at the front, shielding her breasts. *This is almost like the first time I saw her in the bath tub.* He had a short flash back to that day and that moment. "Kenshin, you're shaking!" Kenshin felt his knees go weak and he took a step backward for balance, and in the process, dropping her clothes. "Gomenasai, Kaoru-dono." He bent down to pick up her clothes, turning red with embarrassment. *Great. Now I'm acting like an idiot infront of her.* He gathered up all his strength and stood up straight. With arms extended infront, he walked towards her. Their eyes met and suddenly unable to look away, their gazes were locked on each other. He inched closer, his arms contracting until he was hugging her clothes to his chest. Still, he inched forward. With eyes wide open, Kaoru slightly shifted backwards, pressing her back against the tub. She let her arms fall slowly to her sides. Now there was nothing covering her body except for the clear water. "Kirei..." Kenshin gasped out. He was now standing right infront of her. He bent forward, his face closing in on hers. So close. Just a few more inches... Then he heard a rustle behind him. The dreamy spell finally broken, he turned around, startled. "Jigglypuff! Jigglypuff!" "Wahh! Nani?!! What is that?!!" The round little blue eyed creature, stood a couple of feet from Kenshin. She smiled excitedly. Placing her marker pen to her mouth, she closed her eyes and started singing a sweet lullaby. "Jiiig-a-ly-puff...jigallyy...puff..." "That sounds so beautiful..." Kenshin felt his eye lids go heavy. "What's happening? I feel so sleepy..." He fell backwards and into the tub. "Oroo--" SPLASH! "Oh my! K-Kaoru-dono?..." He looked at her, but she was already asleep. "Kao-ru..." He finally gave into the spell and collapsed into a deep sleep with his head resting gently on her chest. ****** In the kitchen... "I don't know what the heck Kenshin was cooking." Myki looked around the kitchen at the unfinished cooking. "I know, maybe it's rice balls! Or miso soup. That's all I can remember from the show." She went to the rice pot and scooped up a handful of rice, compressing it into a spherical shape. "There, it's rice and it's a ball. That's makes a rice ball! HehHeh...(sweat drops)." She then looked at the pot of boiling water and the chopped vegetables. "Now for the miso soup. But...what's a miso?" She frowned,"what...to...do..." She let out a sigh,"I give up." She reluctantly reached out her hand and pulled out an interdimentional phone. She punched in a number that she knew all too well. Voice on phone: Good Morning. Pizza Hut Delivery. May I help you? Myki: One large pizza please. No, make that 4 large pizzas. I want every topping you have. Um...extra cheese and mushrooms. Voice on phone: Ok...uh-huh...got it. Address? Myki gave out the address and then hung up. POOF! The phone magically dissapeared. She lazily sat down and waited for the pizza to arrive. "What was that?" She sat up straight and strained her ears in the direction of the sound. It sounded like Jigglypuff. "Uh-oh..." The haunting lullaby seeped into her ears. And soon, she found herself yawning and slowly drifting off into slumber. Author's notes: -Phew! Finally finished chapter 2. -Wa da ya think? Hmmm? Comments would be greatly appreciated. -For those of you who don't bother with childish anime, Jigglypuff is from Pokemon. She is the balloon type pokemon. One of her powers is to put anyone to sleep by singing. Unfortunately, Jigglypuff is unaware of her powers and feels insulted when her audience falls asleep. So she gets her revenge by drawing funny things on each of the faces of the audience with a marker. As you can see, I will be bringing in characters from other anime and some unexpected guests. ^_^ Somebody catch me! I'm running away with my imagination! (ok...dumb joke...) -Um, the way I keep going from reality to fiction and vise versa and dragging out things from interdimentional space, just sorta use your imagination a little and we can pretend that I live in a strange world. ^_^ Next: Jigglypuff's revenge! Plus an unusual breakfast experience. And more inside jobs! --------------------------- ONElist Sponsor ---------------------------- Get great offers on top-notch products that match your interests!
