Author's Notes: Eh? What can I really say about this? It's a pathetically short piece of Sanosuke/Megumi W.A.F.F. that was written up in no less than 15 minutes with a flashlight and a three inch pencil with no eraser and rated G? I guess that would be a good description. Alrighty then, on to the ficcie!

Split Lips

Megumi shut the doors to the clinic, exhausted beyond belief. It was sunset, and the winter's work day was FINALLY over. She felt a snowflake tickle her nose, and smiled at the change of weather.

"Oi, kitsune!"

Maybe not. Megumi slowly turned around in horror, seeing good old Sanosuke running towards her. She took note of the gnarled, bloody skin covering his lips, and the questioning look in his chocolate eyes.

"Could you stop my lip from bleeding?"

Megumi grabbed him under the chin and tilted his face to the correct angle. With closer inspection, she made a little discovery.

"Have you been using that special balm I gave you? Not to mention a generous amount of it that set my garden back by quite a few herbs?"

"No, I..."

Megumi cut him off by pinching his cheeks together.

"Good, that is all I needed to hear. * sigh * Come in, tori-atama."

Megumi unlocked the doors, and Sanosuke followed behind her like a little lost puppy. He watched as she reached up, and pulled a small container from a wooden shelf. He watched her slender hand drop the small white piece of plastic in his scarred palm.

"Kitsune, I don't need balm, how are you supposed to put the stinkin' stuff on your lips?"

Megumi looked shocked for a moment, and then gave her "ohhohohoho" laugh. She opened the case and pointed at the white-colored oily concoction she had made.

"You just put your finger in, and rub it on your lips!"

"But then my fingers smell like girly plants!"

"If you are going to complain, fine, add a few more scars to your face."

"Hey!"

"Hey is for animals, tori-atama, LEAVE."

"But..."

"FINE!"

Megumi stuck her finger in the case of white stuff, reached up, and roughly smeared it into Sanosuke's lips. He smirked at her, those brown eyes teasing and tense. Megumi eyed him suspiciously.

"Happy?" she asked quickly.

"Hai, Megitsune, seeya tomorrow!"

-*-*-*-*- The next day...-*-*-*-*-

Megumi shut and locked the doors to the clinic, after another hard day of work. She felt the large snowfall hit her head, and realized she had forgotten a cloak, and her umbrella. She put her arms up and started walking through the elements. Feeling a sudden light shade of red hit her body, she looked up to see Sanosuke's smiling face, and his dark red umbrella made of thick cloth.

"Oi, Megitsune."

Sanosuke put on his "happy-go-lucky-I'm-innocent-and-didn't-do- anything" smile. What Megumi did not expect to see when she looked directly at his face was a fresh coat of the same lip balm she had given him painted on his lips.

OWARI

Hey! Was that bad? Did I rate it too low? Would Sanosuke calling Megumi a fox make my material bump up a notch? Were my characters OOC? Yes, and I would like for at least one of these questions to be answered in a review if someone would be so kind...* anime puppy eyes * Please?
