A pleasant evening at Tae's... ‹ding dong› the doorbell rings.
Tamahome (Over his shoulder to Tae, Tasuki and Kenshin): I've got it! (Opening the door) Yes?A pretty girl wearing a kimono, with her dark hair pulled back into a pony-tail, stands outside.
Girl: Is Kenshin here?
Kenshin (Coming up behind Tamahome): Hai de gozaru. (As Tamahome moves out of the way) Ka...Kaoru-dono!?!
Kaoru: KENSHIN. I'VE FOUND YOU! (think TV episode 6) What have you been doing?! Ayame-chan and Suzume-chan keep crying (okay, I have too), and Yahiko's been a brat and there's nobody to do the laundry! What are you doing here?!
Tae: He lives here.
Kaoru: Na...naaaaani? (Pulling out a shinai and proceeding to whack the daylights out of Kenshin with it) You are so insensitive! How COULD you! And after we got married!
Kenshin: Orororororo!
Tamahome, Tasuki, Tae: WHAT?! You got WHAT?!
Kenshin: I don't know! I can't remember past episode 72!
Tae: Waaaaait a minute. I don't think that happened! someone on SASS would've said so by now. (To Kaoru) Spill it, Raccoon Girl. Tell the truth!
Kaoru: All right! So we're not married! But we might be...except he's here!
Tae: Oi, why are you here, anyway? I know for a fact that the show's still on, and the manga's still going strong. Sony and Shonen Jump wouldn't allow live-in anime characters if it stopped them making money. You shouldn't even know Kenshin's gone!
Kaoru: mumble mumble mumble
Everyone: Eh?
Kaoru: mumble mumble fine print mumble mumble
Everyone: What?
Kaoru: It's in the fine print! You get one visit from an Irate Leading Anime Lady once every 3 months. (To Tamahome) Miaka's coming next week.
Tamahome, Tasuki, Kenshin and Tae: ORO!!
Tae: There's not enough food for her to visit!
Tamahome: Tae!
Tae: Ah... Gomen, Tamahome, gomen!
Tasuki (To Kenshin): Oi, how come you don't remember past episode 72? It's your story, right?
Kenshin: Ah...well. It's in the contract. I don't remember anything that Tae-dono doesn't already know about... that way I can't give away any spoilers.
Tae: The whole thing stinks. What good is a live-in anime character who won't tell you what's going on?!? Come on! Tell me who this "Toki" chick is.
Kenshin: A....no....
