One Thing Leads To Another
Chapter 1
"So tell me Megumi, what ales me?" Saito said with a sigh as he leaned back in the chair he was sitting in. Striking a match to light a smoke, his eyes followed Megumi as she tidied up her exam room.
"Your favorite habit is the problem."
"My habit?"
"Yes, your dreadful habit." Megumi replied sternly. Saito had come to her a week earlier complaining about a cough, she told him to drink some herbal tea twice a day, then if the cough ceases to go away, come back. It seemed that Saitos cough was gradually getting worse and every time he lit a cigarette, he started to hack like an old woman.
"Eh, what exactly is my habit?" Little puffs of smoke floated out the open window; birds chirped and a cool breeze blew the cherry blossoms back and forth as if they were saying 'welcome'.
Megumis eyebrows shot up and her face tensed as she said "Smoking!"
"Smoking?"
"Dont act like you dont know what Im talking about, Saito. The cigarettes are causing you to coughing and its going to get worse unless you quit!"
"Yes.." Saito stared at the cigarette in his hand, after a moment he tossed it out the window and rose to take his leave.
Stepping infront of Saito, Megumi said, "I cant help you if you dont want me too. But heed my warning- its quit or possibly die an early death."
Searching Megumis eyes, Saito found nothing but.. compassion? Ignoring the thought, he headed back to the police station.
"Ah, Lieutent Fujita, pleasant seeing you!" said young officer as Saito entered the station. With a nod of acknolegment, Saito headed straight for his office, he had alot to think about.
Cho was looking through some papers when Saito opened the door to his office.
"Who said you could be in here, Cho?"
Poking his finger in his ear, Cho shrugged.
Saito rolled his eyes, Chos where abouts were the least of his concerns, infact if Cho was even there didnt matter at this moment. His mind kept going back to Megumis warning. Closing his eyes, Saito tried to relax.
Later that afternoon when the clinic closed for the day, Megumi headed over to the Kamiya dojo. From outside the gate she could tell something was going from the loud voices coming from inside the dojo.
"How dare you insult my cooking! How would you like to be the cook for a week, Sanosuke? Huh?" from the look on Kaorus face she was clearly very upset. Kenshin, Sanosuke and Yahiko were seated on the floor around a small table. Kaoru stood over them holding a bowl of rice and glaring down at Sanosuke. Upon Megumis entrance, Kenshin stood to welcomed her, no one else seemed to notice. Yahiko was eating while Sanosuke and Kauro were having a... stare down. dundundun
"How was your day Megumi?" Kenshin asked
"Saito came and saw me today."
Kenshin nodded.
"Im worried about him, his smoking habit is going to cause his alot of pain and maybe even something worse!" Megumi clenched her fist as she thought about how Saito had walked out of the clinic that day like he didnt even care, "He never listens!"
Kenshin placed his hand on her shoulder, "Maybe you should approach the situation a different way, maybe Saito isnt as cold hearted as he seems... and just maybe you can turn him around."
With a smile Kenshin got up to go seperate Kaoru and Sanosuke, Megumi sighed and looked around the room. Maybe I can change him. she thought to herself. As the moon and the stars came out, Megumi began to relax- when someone came knocking
