Standard disclaimers apply.. of course.
It was dawn, and already Megumi was on her way to the dojo-quick, urgent steps taking her faster and faster. Then a quick rat tat tat on the doors signified her waiting presence. She did not have to wait very long, for the two wooden panels creaked open, with a beaming Kaoru saying, "Welcome Megumi-san, you've come just in time for breakfast." Yes, that was the way it always was, the custom greeting, the polite offer. But today, she had something important to say. "No, I have no appetite for breakfast today," Megumi told her, waving it aside. "I've come with some serious news." Without further ado, Kaoru opened the doors wide to admit the doctor inside her home.
While they were walking towards the "living room" where everyone ate, Kaoru was curious about what was so urgent. "Ano¡K what's the serious news?" she asked while sliding the shoji door open to reveal everyone stuffing themselves. "Please sit."
Megumi saw that everyone except for herself and Kaoru were guys, and reddened with the knowledge she contained. She saw Kenshin smile in his usual friendly way, Sano give her his cheeky grin, and Yahiko completely ignoring her presence because of food. She chuckled nervously and grabbed Kaoru's kimono sleeve-hard. "Megumi-san??" came the worried and irritated response. But there was no time for that now, and she proceeded to drag the protesting Kaoru into her room while listening to the confused remarks coming from the living room. "What now?" Kaoru asked, rubbing her sore arm up and down.
Megumi saw what she was doing and immediately shouted, "Don't do that!" startling the person who was doing just that considerably.
"Do what?" she was confused.
"Don't rub your arms, or anywhere for that matter!"
"Why?? It was only falling asleep from your previous assault¡K"
"Because it looks like you might have the symptoms of this new¡K" the doctor searched for a word. "Virus¡K yes, I think it is classified as a virus."
Kaoru knitted her brows together. "Virus?"
"Yes, it's acquired by inhaling contaminated air. The symptoms are when you start rubbing your arms and legs¡K everywhere, and then you start itching."
"I don't see what's so bad about that-" she started, but was cut off abruptly when the kitsune said: "Not only the kind of itching where you scratch it and it's okay for a while. You itch and itch terribly, until you start itching around¡K there," she punctuated the last word meaningfully. But unfortunately for her, Kaoru didn't have the foggiest idea what she was talking about.
"There? Nani??"
Megumi shook her head with exasperation. "You know, THERE. Where it's private and all¡K" and she saw Kaoru looking under her armpits.
"You mean here?" she asked earnestly. "But it doesn't smell bad because I immediately take a bath after training anyhow."
Honestly, the tanuki could be so DENSE sometimes! Of all times! "No, no," Megumi tried explaining patiently, but couldn't keep the biting tone out of her voice. "Not there, I mean the place where you want Kenshin to touch."
"WHAT?!" the dojo could be felt shaking up and down from the force of that exclamation. Kenshin sneezed. She calmed down considerably when she found a reasonable answer. "Oh, you mean my forehead? But I don't have a fever, sorry to waste your maternal instincts."
"NOOOOO," the doctor could almost strangle the naive little GIRL in front of her. "Not there¡K I meant, well, the part that makes a woman a woman."
Kaoru looked shocked and went red. "I do NOT want him touching my breasts!!" even though she didn't want to admit she had midnight fantasies about it.
"Guess again."
"Y-you mean¡K down¡K down there?" the thought finally struck home.
"Yes, down there," Megumi was glad to have the point across. And just a side remark to make make Kaoru simmer: "So that's where you want him to touch you, ne?"
Kaoru could only grind her teeth and blush. "NEVER!" she managed to bite out. And she would never EVER admit to Megumi that she also had midnight fantasies about that as well.
"Ohohoho~" the doctor laughed, acting foxy again. Then turned serious: "Anyhow, you start itching around there, and your touch alone cannot satisfy it. Before long, you'll be running to a man¡K hopefully someone who cares about you-"
Kaoru interrupted. "Why hopefully?"
"Well you don't want random men touching you there do you?" came the cold reply. "Remember, you'll be barely feeling yourself at that time. You won't know what's right and what's wrong¡K you won't know the difference between your lover and your most hated enemy. You'll just be swamped in the feeling that you absolutely NEED to be relieved."
"What? We have this feeling that we need to go to the bathroom all the time?"
"No," Megumi was tired of having to put everything lightly. "You have this desire to have sexual release."
Kaoru's eyes went wide, and her mouth dropped open. "R-really?"
"Yes," the doctor snapped. "And so after you're¡K done with one round¡K well I don't know what happens after that, because I've only had a few patients come to me with that certain¡K virus."
That sounded plain silly to Kaoru, so she snorted and said, "Really. That's the most outrageous thing I've ever heard! So you came all this way just to tell me that? And if you really were in danger, I mean, can't you just call for the nearest doctor for help?"
"You'll be too busy seducing him, and he'll be too busy with you to think about the consequences. You'd be lucky if someone happens to stumble upon you two and actually know what's going on. Then afterwards, you have to go and thank that person for saving your life. I'm not kidding." Megumi was dead serious. "Don't let this virus fool you into thinking you're safe. People are constantly being affected-men and women alike. It's coming towards us, for the patients I know that live around here are distressed, coming to the clinic for help. But sadly, I know of no cure so far¡K only this medicine that works temporarily for a week at most."
"Oh." And that was the only think Kaoru could think of to say for that moment, because with an uneasy feeling, she remembered that while taking a bath yesterday, she had itched¡K everywhere. But she thought it just could've been fleas¡K but then squashed that assumption immediately because she kept the dojo spick and span. She had decided to forget about it. But what about last night when Kenshin had looked at her? She had had this uncharacteristically ache down below, and when she believed that he was looking at her rather hungrily, she felt something¡K wet. Kaoru had excused herself from dinner and went to go see, and it was something she didn't want to describe. Sticky¡K it still made her shiver. No, she wouldn't tell Megumi¡K no use in worrying the doctor when she was busy enough already with other patients. After all, it could just be that she was falling more and more for Kenshin, if that were possible. Yes, that must be it. She scratched herself unconsciously on the neck before seeing the doctor to the door. Goodbye, Kaoru had said. Don't worry everything will be fine¡K yes, I'm sure. And Megumi waved and replied that she would have her hands full this week, so that was the last visit. Kaoru closed the doors and sighed, scratching herself one last time on the legs. Or so she thought.
Notes: it's only the beginning, but i hope it'll do. =} **runs and hides** **wails also** i can't believe i'm going to write lemon chapters! even though i'm only underage by a year. hehe.. but! but! **shrinks** it's pretty embarrassing. oh well i hope you ppl like it. **runs away with reddened cheeks**
