MoTaS: Well hello there! (Again) I haven't gotten many reviews yet so I don't know if I should add this chapter or not. Maybe I will anyway; more story, more reviews. So read and review. I WANT BOATLOADS of reviews for this story, so don't hesitate to review it.

Kenshin: You heard HIM; GO READ AND RE-

MoTaS: Kenshin! Stop yelling at the readers, you idiot apprentice!!

Kenshin: Yes master…..*stares at the ground and trembles somewhat*

MoTaS: Alright, so getting R'ing and R'ing, and remember: I don't own RK or any of it's characters and never will; EVER.

Note: the "**" thingys indicate a note by me in the story. That doesn't include the top or bottom sections where I make comments. Read on!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was fall on the otherside of the world; leaves were changing colors and falling from trees. Little children were enjoying large piles of leaves. Some people were inside and working as employees or students. For some students their day had ended.

One student, a junior, was driving to the outskirts between the two townships that made up his school district. His parents were divorced for about two years now and he felt like visiting his mom's. He was driving a green, 1990-something Jeep. It was a good vehicle, especially since it sat five people counting the driver, got good gas mileage, and had a killer sound system. It had a CD player, so he was happy.

"Man," Ian said. "You never get tired of Linkin Park."He was driving along Moore Rd. and would soon reach his mom's road of residence. He had Linkin Park's "Meteora" in and was listening to "Faint." The cover for his jeep was packed away so he could enjoy the cool fall air.

*You getting that "here come they come…" feeling yet?*

"What a wonderful-" he started to mutter when suddenly, there was a flash of light and there were instantly 4 new passengers with him.

"WHAT THE -!?" they all yelled.

Then the screaming began. Amidst all the chaos, Ian was able to stop the jeep without overturning it and turning everyone into instant roadkill. He also figured on shutting the vehicle off as well.

"QUIET!!!"

It became quiet very quickly, thanks to the red-haired dude (or was it dudette?) in strange clothing. Ian didn't recognize any of these people, yet they seemed strangely familiar. After a minute or so, someone decided to speak. The driver was that one.

"Where'd you guys come from?"

To the four strangers, it came as a slight shock that they understood what he had said to them, since they only spoke Japanese and very little English at all.

"Were from Japan, you idiot!" the short, spikey-black-haired kid said.

At this point, Ian finally figured out who exactly was in his jeep.

"Is your name Yahiko?" he asked the shortest one.

The others were somewhat dumbstruck that this person, whom non had ever met, knew his name.

"Yah, it is," Yahiko said. "How'd you know?"

But Ian ignored this and proceeded to name off the tallest as Sano, the girl as Kaoru, and the red-head as Kenshin. By now, all four of them were really surprised. It was at this point that Sano's temper boiled and he decided to unleash it.

"That's nice, you knowing our names, correctly, and all," Sano said, holding back just a bit, "But how the heck do you know ours and not the other way around!?!?"

"My name is Ian", Ian said. "I know you because…."

"HOW?!?!"

"Sano," Kenshin began, "you should go easy on him, that you should."

"He's right Sano *WHEN ISN'T HE?*" Kaoru added. "We're all a bit shocked by what's just happened."

Everyone became quiet with this comment. Kaoru was right; it wasn't everyday you were riding with a stranger or strangers when you'd been walking or driving alone a minute before.

"I'll tell you what I can when we get to my house, okay?" Ian offered.

"That's a good idea, that it is." Kenshin replied.

"Thanks."

With that, the tension died somewhat to where it was calm. But one thing still nagged Ian.

"Um, do any of you know how to use a seat belt?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MoTaS: Well there you go, one more chapter for the books.

Kenshin: You mean site, Master.

MoTaS: Whatever. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this one as well. Like I said b4, I'm new to this and the habits/personalities/lingo may be off a bit, so a break is all I ask for.

Kenshin: Some reviews would be nice too.

MoTaS: It seems my idiot apprentice is right; Here you go, have a biscuit. *tosses biscuit in air for Kenshin to grab*

Kenshin: *grabs biscuit and happily munches on it*

MoTaS: Okay then, get going and good day.
