I turn to face her with one hand on my hip. The other hand, which is still holding this darn broom, is pointed at her now.
"And what would Aoshi-san say if he saw you too chicken to retrieve your kunai because of a spider Misao-chan?"
Then I pause when I actually start to think of what he would say!
..........
"Well, whatever it would be, if anything you probably wouldn't like it!" I take the broom and now point it back at the spider which is too close for comfort. "So for Aoshi-san Misao-chan, you must get rid of that spider!"
I can't help but laugh. "Aoshi, probably wouldn't say anything. He is fairly taciturn and all, not much of a conversationalist." I giver her a calculating look, "But you know, we could be going back and forth like this for hours Kaoru, where's Kenshin-san when you need him? Isn't he the domestic diva of the household anyway?"
"Eh?" Misao-chan would have to fire back with Kenshin. "Um... He actually is doing the responsible thing in doing the grocery shopping for us right now. He even cleaned the floors earlier along with doing all of the laundry!" And a magical pile of laundry that never seems to end for him too I notice....
She is correct though that neither one of us is going to volunteer taking care of... it. So what can be done about it? I could just keep staring at her like I am right now... and hope she gets the hint!
I sigh exasperated, must I do EVERYTHING myself. "Oh fine..." I rummage in my obi and pull out a few things. "Question... is there any reason for you to stay here the next couple of hours?"
It looks like the weasel got outsmarted by the tanuki! I am smiling until she asks a very strange question....
"Well I was hoping to make dinner when Kenshin got home, which should be soon." I arch an eyebrow at my friend as she pulls some things out of her obi. "Um... but what are you up to there?"
Leave it up to the Oniwabanshuu to have a solution for everything!
I grin from ewar to ear, and show her my outstretched hands, one had a purse of money in it, the other an odd contraption.
"We have two choices. One, we go out and have some tea, maybe pick up some chocolate, and leave your domesticated hubby to the disposal duty... or two..." I trail off, hand showing off the odd contraption. "This is a smoke bomb, it'll kill any living thing, including spiders," I say my face twisting up in distate, "in the house, but will need a few hours to dissipate before it's safe to return."
I flash Kaoru a cheshire grin, she only THOUGHT she won. "Oh, and yes, I'm not treating YOU to chocolate, but I'll gladly buy my own to eat it."
"I say that we do both of those things! I can leave Kenshin a note telling him he just can not enter the kitchen for awhile!" I am sure he can find something to do with all the free time he will have. He'll probably dirty some of the laundry he cleaned earlier on purpose JUST so he can rewash it.
I go the long way around to avoid disturbing the spider and quickly scribble a note for him:
Kenshin... blahblahblah... chocolate... blahblahblah... smoke bomb.... yakyakyak... dead spider. Love, Kaoru.Note in hand and safely back on the other side of the kitchen again, I turn to Misao-chan and tell her. "Ready when you are!" I dig around in my obi and pull out my own coin purse, waving it in front of her face
( ... )
"Oh well in that case, I'll leave THAT alive" I point. "And eat all the chocolate before you get there Tanuki-chan!"
Before Kaoru can even register the words, I'm gone, a streak through the streets of Tokyo as I use some rooftop shortcuts, to get to the chocolate place, buy them out, and take my haul with me to a nearby temple to eat, and share with the little kids there. MWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!
