I do but I don't
By Akane-tenshi
Author's notes : This is my first R.K. fic so please correct me if I make any mistake. I'm a huge Sano/Megumi fan so I decided to write a fic about them! Enjoy!
Summary : Megumi got an unexpected fiancee! How will Sano react? Will this fiancee make Megumi have a change of heart? Will it be too late for Sano?
Disclaimer : I don't own anything
"Mou! This is the third time this week!"
"It's not my fault! Those thugs asked for it!"
Takani Megumi scowled deeply as she wrapped the last of the bandages around his arm. She promptly stood up and began to clear everything away, "Have Kaoru-chan made dinner yet? I've made egg nogg for my patients and there's some leftovers... I can bring a pot over to the Dojo if you want."
"That will be great Megitsune!" said Sanosuke, relieved. "I'd rather eat anything else than Jou-chan's cooking!"
Stifling a laugh, the female doctor washed her hands and turned back to look at her patient, "I'll be ready in a few minutes."
The only reason she had offered to bring dinner to the Dojo was to be with Sanosuke. Over the years, she had fallen in love with him. Sure she tried to deny it at first but the feeling only became stronger. She had met many men in her life but this particular one was different. He might not be the brightest bulb but there was something special about him, which she can't place a finger on.
Sagara Sanosuke might be strong and tough on the outside. Always gambling and drinking. On the inside, he's entirely a different person. To her at least. He's funny, witty, nice and cute. Definitely cute.
Megumi flipped her long sheet of black hair and covered the ceramic pot with a thick cloth so that it won't get too hot when she carries it. She lifted it up and quickly made her way out of the house. Sanosuke was leaning against a tree, his eyes closed as though he was deep in thoughts.
She couldn't help but gave a little smile, "Sano, ready to go?"
He was startled at first but soon relaxed when he saw Megumi, "You sure took your time."
The female doctor huffed, but said nothing. She waited for Sanosuke to lead the way and she trailed behind him. The sun was beginning to set and it cast the perfect picture on the both of them. Any stranger will probably mistook them as a couple.
Soon, there was a gust of wind and plenty of sakura petals came in their way. Some continued to fly with the wind and others floated gracefully to the ground. It was nature's gesture to add a romantic touch to their walk.
Megumi inhaled in the fresh air and gave out a loud sigh. It felt great to be outdoors but back in her corner of her mind, she was worried sick about her patients. Gensai-sensei may not be able to handle them. He's quite old himself.
"Onna-sensei! Don't tell me you're worried about your patients."
Oh how was he able to read her mind? "I'm not!"
"Relax, kitsune! You need some time off!"
"No I don't tori-atama!"
"Hey, I'm just saying-"
"Urusai!" She glared at the back of his head and soon cooled down when he didn't retorted back. Weird.
"Tadaima!" Sanosuke shouted as they entered the Dojo.
A faint 'okairi-nasai' was heard and there was a loud crash. Typical. Megumi took off her slippers and made her way to the kitchen, where she found a burnt pot of dried soup. She quickly put out the fire and cleared out the smoke. What were they thinking?
Seconds later, Kaoru, Kenshin and Yahiko rushed into the kitchen.
"My soup!" Kaoru wailed. "Kenshin! You're supposed to watch it!"
"Anou..."
Yahiko cut in, "Now we don't need to eat your toxic waste! Arigatou Kenshin."
Kamiya Kaoru gritted her teeth, her body shook with anger, "That's it! You are so dead!" With one dynamic punch, she knocked both of them out cold and presented them with a black eye to remember her by.
"Oro..."
"Kaoru-chan, there's no need to be so violent," Megumi scolded lightly as she heated up the pot of egg nogg. "Sometimes I wonder how Ken-san can actually stand you." A pair of fox's ears popped out on her head, "Ohohoho!"
"Itadakimasu!"
"Megitsune! This is great!"
"Yum! More! More!"
"It's been a while since we ate actual food!"
"Ohohoho! I bet!"
Kaoru glared at Yahiko, but continued to eat her dinner. Tomorrow's agenda : Kill Yahiko.
Dinner was a noisy affair. Yahiko kept giving Kaoru snide remarks, which she doubled back by throwing a bowl at his face. At that moment, Sanosuke took some of Yahiko's eggs. This led to a fight. Poor Kenshin was caught between them. Ayame-chan and Suzume-chan helped by encouraging them.
"Gochiso sama," Megumi declared over the noise as she slammed her bowl on the table. "I'll be on my way now."
"Sumimasen!" A voice called from the outside.
"Oro? Who'll be coming here at this hour?" The red-head questioned and pulled himself on his feet. "I'll go get it."
Megumi poured herself a cup of tea and began sipping it slowly. The racket they were making was getting on her nerves. Everyone quietened down when Kenshin emerged back into the room, bringing someone with him.
"Anou... Megumi-dono, this man has been searching for you."
"Eh?" She studied his features. The man had a masculine, tanned body. His hair was blonde, bits of it was almost touching his eyes and his spectacles perched on the bridge of his nose. He was wearing a black coat over a white shirt, accompanied by a tie and long black pants.
He doesn't look like any of her patients. Someone she treated on the road, maybe? No... A family member? Doubt it. He looked like someone intelligent. Most certainly not anyone from around here. "Gomen ne... I really don't recall you from anywhere..."
"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Sakkai Takeshi. I'm born in Japan but I moved to the States to pursue my studies as a doctor." He seems to have adopted an accent.
She did a double take, "D-Don't tell me you're going to open a clinic here!"
Takeshi gave a chuckle, "Don't be silly Takani-san."
"Then why are you here?" Yahiko piped in.
The doctor smiled warmly at everyone, "I'm here to marry Takani Megumi!"
All right, I know it's short! I want to know what everyone thinks and whether I should continue or not. Till next time!
