Ni To Iu Hitokiri: Chapter 6 - Acting Cocky

by wombat ::: 15.Jun.2003

[Sano and Yahiko are walking in the woods at night when they encounter Kenshin and Kaoru. Sano throws one arm around Kenshin's shoulder, forcing him to lag behind the others as they head back to the dojo, and begins to pummel him with conspiratorial winks and the occasional elbow to the ribs.]

"Been out all night with jou-chan, eh? Way to go!"

[bewildered blinking] "Yes, I'm afraid I had to go rescue Miss Kaoru from Jin'eh."

"I'll bet you did! Rescued her, eh? That must've been tiring, know what I mean? Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more!"

"It was a terrible emotional strain. My inner hitokiri emerged, but she helped me keep it under control."

"Inner hitokiri, eh? Your sakabatou must've had quite a workout, quite a workout indeed! Nudge nudge, wink wink!"

[still puzzled] "At least Miss Kaoru kept me from using it on the other side, or I don't know what would've happened next."

"The other side! You're wicked, eh? Say no more! I guess there's some things she's not ready for, but I bet she can still handle a sword, know what I mean?"

"Well, she is the assistant master of Kamiya Kasshin Ryuu."

[wide-eyed] "Say... no... more! Famous style, Kamiya Kasshin, famous style!"

"But I had to make sure I finished quickly so I could untie her, or she wouldn't've been able to breathe."

"Untied her, eh? I'll bet you did, I'll bet you did!"

"She was upset that I'd stained her scarf when she untied it from me, though."

"Wooooo, you're wicked! Wicked! Know what I mean? Say no more! I bet you learned a thing or two wandering around for ten years, eh? Eh? Eh?"

[stops dead in his tracks, bristling with suspicion and righteous indignation] "Look here, Sano. Are you insinuating something?"

"Well, you have been living with jou-chan all this time, right?"

"Yes. What about it?"

"I mean, you're a man of the world, right?"

"What are you getting at?"

"That is, you've... slept with a lady."

"...Yes, and...?"

"...What's it like?"

[Saitou abruptly leaps out of the shrubbery and drags Sano off in a jealous rage toward the yaoi doujinshi next door. Shaking his head, Kenshin catches up to Kaoru, who whispers in his ear.]

"All right, let's fill up the kid with sake when we get home so we can get back to naked party time!"

[Kenshin collapses in a swirly-eyed heap of nosebleeding "oro".]
