Chapter 1: New Girl
"HIMURA!"
The redhead stilled, hearing his name called. Turning around, he smiled, seeing his bestfriend, Sanosuke Sagara, waving at him.
"Hai, Sano?" he asked cheerfully.
"Hey, Kenshin, buddy. Wanna go to a club tonight?" Sano asked, winking.
"Sano! You know I don't go to those kinds of places!"
"No way man! You're coming with me!" Sano announced, half-dragging Kenshin.
"ORO!"
"A bottle of beer." Sano ordered to the bartender. "So, Kenshin, what do you want to do?"
"I want to go home, study, then sleep." Kenshin stated firmly.
"Of course..." Sano drawled. "Later..."
"Sano!"
"Kenshin." The redhead stilled, hearing Sano's serious tone. "You need a girl in your life, man. You're too serious." Sano said, accepting his bottle of beer gratefully. He gulped half of it.
"I had one, Sano." Kenshin said flatly. Sano winced.
"Uh... let's just say she isn't counted. As I was saying, you need to lighten up, you need to turn over a new leaf, all right?"
"Oro? Sano, have you been studying lately?" Kenshin remarked, trying to lighten up the mood. Sano frowned.
"Hey! Just because I'm not an A student like you doesn't mean that--- wait a second! STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT!" Sano boomed.
"ORO! Gomen, Sano!"
"Kenshin, for crying out loud! Stop your games!" Sano said, exasperated.
"Hai, hai." Kenshin replied, smiling slightly. "I just... want to f- it still... hurts..." he murmured, eyes hooded.
"I know, buddy..." Sano sympathized.
"Now that it's all settled, then I--" Kenshin started.
"But that doesn't mean that you should sulk around like that! Get a grip, man!" Sano continued, ignoring his bestfriend. "I'll buy you a girl then!"
"Sano?! What?!"
"I'd like to see the manager, please." Sano said to the bartender. The bartender nodded, then went to fetch the manager.
"Sano! A-are you sure? I mean, what will your father say when he discovers this?! Sano, I'm telling you to--" Kenshin argued.
"He'll understand, Kenshin! Now sit down and shut up, coz I won't listen to you!" Sano said, determination in his eyes.
"Sano--" Kenshin attempted, but he knew it was futile.
"Kenshin..." Sano said in a dangerous tone.
"Hai, hai." Kenshin sighed. Just that moment, the bartender returned, a pretty lady in tow.
"Good evening, gentlemen. You wanted to speak with me?" she asked smoothly, a perfectly shaped eyebrow raised.
"Y-you're the manager?!" Sano choked out, disbelieving. Kenshin coughed lightly.
"Of course. Takani Megumi, at your service." she said cattily.
"Sanosuke Sagara. This is my best bud, Kenshin Himura. You know, Megumi, you remind me of something." Sano said, brows knitting thoughtfully.
"A swan?" she asked haughtily.
"Nope."
"A deer, then." she said, gritting her teeth.
"Uh... no."
"WHAT?"
"You look... you look..." Sano trailed off.
"Beautiful? Sexy? Attractive? Elegant?" she supplied.
"Like... like a fox! Yeah! Like a vixen!" Sano said triumphantly.
"Sano..." Kenshin said hesitantly, noticing Megumi's highly pissed expression.
"Mr. Sagara..." her tone was clipped. "Just in case you want to know, I'm a doctor... so if you don't want to get poisoned, I highly suggest that you watch your mouth."
"Whatever fox." Her eyebrow twitched. "Anyway, I want to buy a girl for Kenshin here..."
"Sano... I..." Kenshin said. Megumi looked Kenshin up and down.
"Hmm... since you look like a gentleman... unlike some people I've had the unfortunate luck to just meet..." she said haughtily.
"What does that mean, kitsune?" Sano protested.
"I'd give you the new girl... she just got orphaned... has no place to go... and she's still young... seventeen..." the lady manager-doctor explained, sighing softly. "I'll go get her now..."
"See Kenshin, everything will be fine..." Sano drawled.
"I just don't want to buy a--"
"KENSHIN!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Megumi-san?" A blue-eyed girl replied. "What's wrong?"
"Kaoru-chan... today--" Megumi said.
"Sou ka..." Kaoru sighed softly. "Hai, I'll be leaving now... Is he?"
"Don't worry Kaoru-chan, he's nice..."
"I see... Arigato Megumi-san..." Kaoru hugged the older girl.
"He'll take care of you Kao-chan... let's go..." Megumi said softly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------Kenshin sighed for the nth time. I do hope she's pretty... he thought absentmindedly.
"Psst! Kenshin! They're here! Man, aren't you lucky!" Sano whispered conspiratorially.
"Nani? Where? All I can see is..." Kenshin stopped. "A goddess..."
"Told ya you're lucky..."
"Konbanwa." The girl bowed to Sano. "Konbanwa." She bowed to Kenshin. When she raised her head, time stopped still. Then, peaceful amethyst met shocked sapphire.
Japanese Terms:
1. hai- yes

A/N: I want to clear something here, Megumi is the manager of a brothel, but she is not a prostitute. she's a virgin, i swear! and so is Kaoru, she is applying to be one, but! Kenshin comes to the rescue! i just want to clear it up that Megumi and Kaoru are decent people, okay! Arigato!
Preview:
"Kaoru?" he asked, amused.
"Your house-- iie, your mansion is... beautiful..." she stuttered out.
"I'm glad you like it..." he said casually, looping an arm around her waist.
"Kenshin?" she squeaked, blushing crimson.
