** I don't own Rurouni Kenshin, Watsuki-san does. I'm just a hopeless romantic who is too obsessed with this show.

That baka-rooster-head.

I can't believe I fell for that baka-rooster-head. That drunk, illegal- gambling, selfish, arogant, mooches-off-his-friends, ex- gangster. And he stole my heart. How did I ever let myself get caught up in my own emotions? I'm supposed to be a doctor first, a woman last. Of all the people my heart could have chosen, it had to be him.

He had so much hate for the Meji Government that he even went as far as fighting Ken-san, just because he was an Imperialist. He tried a second time with his friend, Katsu, to destroy the Meji. How could I ever have feelings for him? He tried to make the government that is trying hard to create equality instead of the four-class system collapse. He hated me for making the drug that killed one of his best friends. He was part of the Sekihoutai, the false imperial army. He should be more of an outcast.

But, the Sekihoutai weren't really that bad. They only fought for their beliefs. They told the public what they themselves have been told. They only carired out the orders they were given to the best of their abilty. The Imperialists were the ones who betrayed them. Kami- sama, I've been spending too much time around him.

We argue everytime we see each other. He always comes back at me no matter what I throw at him. But somehow, even though what he says sets me up to trap myself in my own words, I'm always the one who has the last word. I don't know if I really get the better of him or if he lets me win.

Those brown eyes, narrow from years of built-up hatred, can show some pretty interesting things. Most days, they are calm and easy-going, with that flash of alertness, ready to protect his friends, including me. In battle, he has that anger that shows clearly in his eyes, but part of him always enjoys putting his life at risk to become better. And, I rarely see, a gentleness he never shows to anyone, a side he always tries to hide. It's that side especially that I love the most. Sure, I always flirt with Ken-san, but only to annoy Kaoru, and to hide what I feel about Sano.

Maybe someday, I'll tell him.

**A/N: so how was that? This is basically my 1st attempt at a Sano/Megumi type of thing, except on a story I wrote called Legend (I'll try to post it soon!). Please review, but no flames. They'll only be sent to the cook fire, which is being made to roast my good friend, Kitsune (u know who you are) :-P anyway, arigatou to people who actually read this.

*update: I have posted a few parts of Legend, if anyone wants to look.
