The UkeKitsune Mailing List Round Robin
Part 10 - by Star

The semes clustered around the door with anxious looks on their faces. Maki
tried the handle, but it was locked. There was no noise from inside...

Chee Ky: Wadoya mean no noise!? How can there be no noise is Sensen is
trying to teach ruru to be a seme?
Star: Er~~~ scrambled plot I'm afraid :: sweatpours::

The semes all looked at each other. "What do you think they're doing in
there?" Asked Goyjo

Kat: You spelt his name wrong... it's Gojyo
Star: <----- anime deprived
Kat: ::nods sympathetically::

"What do you think they're doing in there?" Asked Gojyo.
"Either way..." Muraki sighed "...we're going to need a new uke."

UKML: ::collective gasp:: a what!?
Star: A new uke.
UKML: ARE YOU INSANE!?
Star: It's first day back at college... I'm not insane... I'm suicidal....
UKML: But, but, but, but... you're.... you're..... you're meant to be
solely devoted to ru-uke!!
Star: ::shrugs:: yeah well - I'm miko, suck on that. ::points ru-uke wand at
everyone threateningly::
UKML: ::annoyed mutterings::

"Who will search for this new uke?" Asked someone at the back of the crowd.
Maki pondered this, and then his eyes fell upon a crumpled Lestat who lay
moaning on the floor in pain, his pants round his ankles. "We'll send
Lestat and two others into the Parisian night to search for our new
saviour..."

Lyv: Saviour...? Ee~ Starry, don't you think this is getting a little out
of hand?
Star: ::taps nose:: wait and you'll see ^.~

Soon it was decided that Lestat, Sawakita and Maki would go. The others,
including Muraki, would guard the door in case Sendoh and the sacrifice were
to emerge. For his crimes against their Great One, Sendoh would be severely
punished and Kaede... well... he would be severely punished anyway.... just
for kicks ^_^

Maki: ::cracks whip:: can I take them both?
Star: :: pats Maki:: I don't think you could handle them both dear... let's
leave the tough job to Anzai ne?
Crystal and Lyv: Yay yay yay!

And so, Lestat (complaining loudly), Sawakita (clutching his baton) and Maki
(polishing his pecs) set out into the night on the new search.

It was not long before they came on a perfect candidate, practising his
swordplay in the middle of a park bathed in the moonlight. He had long
vibrant hair tied at the base of his neck, and a plain yutaka melting his
curves. The semes approached him from behind and Maki wacked him once over
the head with the baton. The new uke crumpled to the grass, out cold.

Crystal: ::folds arms, pouts and sulks:: I only like ru-uke...
Star: Have patience ma chere....
Crystal: ::throws camcorder in the bin and storms of muttering inaudible
things about stupid ru-seme people::
Star: ::ties Crystal to chair so she can't escape::
Crystal: You better let me go or I won't be able to continue Between Heaven
and Hell... ::dangerous glint in eyes::
Star: ::hastily lets Crystal loose and brushes her down::

Sawakita stuffed the body into a sack and the trio made their way back to
the castle.

Meanwhile - the semes still had heard no noise from the room where Sendoh
and Kaede had entered about half an hour ago.
"We have to get in! Goodness knows what they might be doing in there!"
Someone at the back of the crowd agreed.
"Quickly - find something we can break the door down with... if we do it
quickly we might be able to take him before the others get back... then
there'll be more to go round!"
Some more people at the back of the crowd agreed.
A classical candelabrum was brought forward, and the semes began to
frantically batter the door with it, scratching the varnish.
After about half an hour of clattering the fragile little prongs against the
door, the candelabra gave up and broke.
There were many curses from the people at the back of the crowd.

Eddie: Who are these people at the back of the crowd?
Star: Um... unpaid extras ^_^

Very quickly though, a slight, doe-eyed boy stepped forward. "Here - I can
pick the lock with one of my hair pins..." he said.
Everyone fell on the floor.
Muraki was the first to scramble to his feet. "Are you sure you're not an
uke?" He demanded.
Fujima just fluttered his eyes lashes.

He had only just set to work on the lock when the trampling of feet on the
stairs made everyone look up as the trio returned, Sawaita dropped the sack
on the floor none too gently and there was a muffled, effeminate cry from
inside.
"What is going on!?" Came the voice, "I am going to get you, that I am!"

UKML: !!! KENSHIN!?
Star: ::rofl:: heeheehee~ I was watching it just the other day :: starts
warbling 'freckles' and receives many tomatoes on her face::

Sawatika let the struggling cat out of the bag...

Che Ky: You mean he let Kenshin out the bag...
Star: ...that's what I just said ^^;

There were gasps of pleasure and surprise from the semes. "He's beautiful!"
"He's perfect!" "He's even better than Kaede!"

Star: :: starts hammering whoever said that with Maki's baton::
Lyv: You were the one who wanted a new uke...
Star: ::Continues hammering:: I said new uke..... not better uke!

At that moment Fujima managed to make the door swing open, and everyone
turned around in surprise at the sound of a whip crack. Kaede stood there,
dressed in black leather as they were, a scowl on his lips and a whip in his
hand. At his waist was a leather utility belt to which was strapped
handcuffs, a bunch of rope, a baton like Maki's, various long and probing
instruments and (interestingly enough) a feather. Sendoh was hovering
behind him with a proud grin on his face.
"Who's first" the reformed Kaede growled.

UKML: I can't believe you did that!
Star: ::evil cackle::

All of the semes were about to throw themselves at his feet and beg to be
taken, but then two pairs of eyes met. Blue against violet.
Kenshin and Kaede stared... and stared.... and stared.... and

Eddie: We get the point...

...and suddenly the background was filled with shojo manga flowers, and
stars sparkled in their eyes, and the seme aura around Kaede evaporated in
an instant.
The two ukes ran into each others arms.
Love at first sight...
