MoTaS: That was fun.

Kenshin: NO IT WASN'T!!! YOU BECAME HIKO AND HITEN MITSURUGI-ED MY ASS!!!!!

MoTaS: That's why it was fun. ^_^

Kenshin: I really hate you.

MoTaS: -_- Care to go again??

Kenshin: O_O No thanks!!

MoTaS: Good. Alright then, remember that RK and the Hiten Mitsurugi style do not belong to me. The Hiten belongs to Hiko Seijuro.

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

By now, it was like 4:30 in the afternoon. Ian and Karli's mom would be home in about an hour. Heather, sadly, had to go home, being that was when her dad made her. Ian, Kenshin, Karli, and Yahiko were finally returning to normal states of being aftertheir respective "highs." Now, it was time for the one thing everyone dreaded: time to cook dinner! *DUM!-DUM!-DUMMMMM!* Kaoru didn't mind it, but everyone else feared her cooking with a vengeance; even Karli and Ian, who'd never sampled it before.

"Kenshin," Ian began. "Would you please come and help me start dinner?"

"Alright then," Kenshin replied. "What about Miss Karli?"

"Just you and me," Ian said. "She needs a break anyhow. You know…"

"Right."

"What about me?" Kaoru started, she was quickly cut off.

"NO!!!!" everyone yelled, Sano and Yahiko being the loudest.

"We'll handle it tonight, Miss Kaoru, that we will," Kenshin nervously told her. She got the hint and sat there on the couch, sulking.

A/n: I do NOT trust her cooking.

K/n: It's not that bad, shishou.

A/n: -_- If she even tried to get in the kitchen to cook, I'd blow her up with this- *RPG appears*

K/n: O_O what's that?

A/n: THIS is my friend, Iggy. Care to say `Hi'?

K/n: O___O No thanks……!

With that, they went to the kitchen to prepare a large meal. At the same time, Karli turned on the TV, despite Sano's ranting. Soon enough, she found a funny show to watch. Even Sano was laughing a bit. Over the TV and laughing, clanging, chopping, and occasional yells came from the kitchen. What those two were cooking, only they knew.

About quarter after five, it was done. Karli, Kaoru, Sano, and Yahiko ran into the kitchen, hungrier than ever. It turned out that the Sugar Addicts had made a large and quick beef pot. Ian and Kenshin seemed quite pleased with themselves for making dinner. The others were just hungry. Lucky for the Kenshingumi, Karli had enough chopsticks saved up for them to use. Ian, though, stuck to his trusty fork and spoon.

The beef pot was actually good, contrary to Karli's distrust of Ian's cooking. Bye the time they were filled up, there was only enough left for maybe two bowls. It was suggested they save it for Ian and Karli's mom. Suddenly, it dawned on the siblings: their mom would be home in minutes and they didn't know what to tell her! That's when she pulled up in her '87 Trans Am. Crap! She was in the house in just moments.

"Hello!" She called.

"Hi, mom," Ian and Karli replied. They were nervous as hell and their friends didn't know why.

"How was today?" Their mom asked.

"Pretty good; same old, same old," They returned.

Just when she was about to say "Okay" she noticed they had four friends over. Eating soup?

"Who are these guys?" She asked.

"Uh…friends," Ian said.

"From Japan," Karli added.

"Where are they staying now?" Their mom asked. Now they were doomed.

"Here, if that is alright," Kenshin said happily.

"Why?" Their mother replied.

"Foreign exchange students." It was all Ian could think of. "One stays here, one at Heather's, and two at dad's."

"Alright," she said, thankful it would be only one. Better for her `ex' to deal with two plus Ian. Less for her to worry about at the moment. "Hey, what's for dinner?"

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

While their mom ate dinner (which she really enjoyed), Karli called Heather to give her an update. Naturally, she thought it was a good idea; she wanted Yahiko there. As far as the school thing went, Heather simply said she'd take care of it, in an evil kind of way.

Another problem was clothes, the Kenshingumi had been wearing the same thing for a little too long and definetly needed modern-day clothes to fit in at school. Ian volunteered to run home for clothes for Kenshin and Sano. Heather said she'd pilfer some of her little brother's clothes for Yahiko. Thankfully it was Friday night. They would all (minus Heather) be staying there for the night and possibly the next night. Maybe `til Sunday, they didn't know. Shopping was a priority for Saturday, easily. Their mom, a couple of inches under Ian, was a little upset that they were all staying there, but didn't really care; the beef pot was good, and she wished for more.

About a half an hour later, Ian returned with clothes for himself and the guys. Kaoru could simply borrow from Karli. For now, he handed Kenshin, Sano, and Yahiko their night clothes. To Ian, the underpants would probably cause the most trouble, so he went ahead and explained it to them. Sano and Yahiko grimaced while Kenshin accepted it, but with a nervous look. Ian then gave them each their T-shirt, shorts, and underpants. Karli was already taking care of Kaoru. When the guys were done, it was…interesting. Kenshin was wearing a black T-shirt and black shorts with red and white stripes on the side. The shirt sai "Never knock on DEATH's door. Ring the bell and run; he hates that." Sano wore a white tank top and navy blue shorts with a gold stripe, like Kenshin's. Yahiko despised what he wore and every guy there just laughed at him. His shirt had the image of a weasel on it. The rest of them couldn't keep from laughing. Yahiko just stood and glared Ian to death for this humiliation.

"Don't blame me!" Ian told him. "It was Heather's-" He didn't finish due to his uncontrollable laughter. Before Yahiko could yell at him, Kaoru and Karli reappeared. Karli wore a red T-shirt that said "Bridgeport Middle School Marching Band" and a pair of white pajama bottoms covered with green frogs. Kaoru wore a T-shirt too, which had a picture of the entire RK cast. With it, she wore a pair of shorts. By now, they were wondering what the laughing was all about. They soon saw why and couldn't resist.

"Yahiko, you like Misao?!" Karli blurted, laughing like a maniac. "Why didn't you tell us?!"

Finally, his notorious temper boiled over, much like Sano.

"Shut up, UGLY!" He yelled at her. He soon knew the error of his ways with the appearance a bokken in Karli's hand. He prayed it wouldn't be like Kaoru's beatings. That prayer was not answered.

*Crack!* *Crack!* *CRACK!!*

Three hard hits and he was out `til the next morning.
