Yo! So this is my third story and it's not a very good beginning, I know. But I think it'll get better... I hope. Please read and review!
Ch. 1 Churning Waters
"And I ask again: Why do I have to do this?" Sagara Sanosuke yelled, waving the willow fishing pole in his hands. Himura Kenshin smiled. "Well, Kaoru-dono said that you are just a free-loader and have to do some work for her," he answered calmly, despite Sano's fuming presence.
Arriving at the riverside, Kenshin took a seat, baited the hook, and cast the line. Sano watched in annoyance. "You realize I have no experience whatsoever in doing this?" Sano announced in a low voice. Not totally surprised, Kenshin just laughed.
Both sensing a presence, Kenshin and Sano looked upstream. Searching for whatever thing the presence belonged to, Kenshin's sharp eyes swiftly covered the scene. Dropping the pole, Kenshin rushed over, Sano following closely. Both their eyes were on the flailing arms just visible above the churning waters. "Sano!" Kenshin yelled. "Gotcha!" Sano replied, pulling up a fallen log covered with moss by the muddy banks. Throwing one end of the log across the river, Sano and Kenshin held the end at their side. From beneath the hands a head appeared. Sano and Kenshin winced as the head whacked against the log. "OW!" The figure cried. But seizing the chance, the person grabbed the log and hoists himself up. Not wasting anytime, Sano and Kenshin, with all their strength, pulled the log upright. The presence, now appear as a young boy around 16 or 17, hopped down.
Landing smoothly on the slippery banks of the rushing river, the boy's first impression on Kenshin was a martial artist. To Sano, he was just a mere morsel of a boy that knew a bit of fighting. Walking over, Sano and Kenshin were cautious, in case this boy was an enemy. As they approached the boy's back, he didn't move nor turn. A bit annoyed to be ignored, Sano tapped the boy on the shoulder. To his surprise, the boy fell back from the pressure. As he fell, Sano just managed to reach down and catch the boy beneath his arms. "What the…" Sano's yell trailed off as he heard the boy's soft snoring. Kenshin and Sano exchanged glances. Kenshin's gaze was meaningful, and then Sano sighed and said in a defeated voice, "All right, all right… But only to Fox Lady's." After Kenshin's nod, Sano sighed yet again and hoisted the young boy's limp body onto his back.
After the boys left, Megumi slowly undressed the boy. After taking off his top, they revealed quite a feminine figure. Megumi was not at all surprised at this. Slowly, Megumi unraveled the bandage that was wrapped around her chest, flattening the girl's breasts. When the pressure on her lungs was gone, the girl coughed up the water she had drunk. She slowly opened her eyes. After blinking away the cloudiness in her pale emerald eyes, the girl slowly sat upright.
"Are you alright?" Megumi slowly asked. The girl jumped at the voice. She opened her mouth to reply, but then she looked as if something struck her. Looking down, she quickly pulled the blanket lying around her feet up, covering her body. Cautiously, the girl asked in a low voice, "Are you going to tell anyone?" Calmly, Megumi answered, "That depends on your reason." Looking deep into Megumi's dark eyes, the girl finally gave a defeated sigh. "Okay, I'll tell you, and you can't tell anyone else!"
