AN: Might be a bit OC.
"Hurry Rooster head before the rain begins to fall," Megumi called the man walking behind her carrying the items she brought to check one of her patients and stuff she bought at the market.
"Geez, Fox. Do you think carrying this load is easy?" Sano complained as he followed Megumi to the clinic. He should have not volunteered to help the doctor. He should've stayed at the dojo and waited for Kenshin to finish preparing their lunch. But no, he had to go out and feel the breeze. Then he saw Megumi and opted to accompany her and volunteered to carry her baggage.
"I do not remember asking for your help earlier," responded the raven haired doctor.
"I do not recall you telling me that you'd stop by the market to buy these," Sano lifted the items he was carrying that Megumi bought from the market on their way back to the clinic.
"Since I have a walking muscle willingly helped me, why not take advantage of it?"
Sano heard Megumi's laughter as she continued to walk ahead of him. He glared at Megumi's back.
The sudden rainfall surprised both Megumi and Sano as they were expecting to be at the clinic before it poured. The two of them ran hurriedly to look for a temporary shelter from the rain. Luckily, they found makeshift shelter in one of the huge trees found along the road.
"Why couldn't this rain wait until we've reached the clinic?" said the irritated Megumi.
"You wish you could order the rain too?" Sano teased Megumi.
"Shut up stupid rooster!"
Sano was about to reply to Megumi's quip when a loud thunder interrupted their conversation.
"Megumi"
"Yes Sano?"
"Aren't women afraid of thunders? Do you want me to hold you?" Sano asked the incredulous looking Megumi.
"Where did you get that sexist notion?" Megumi annoyingly asked Sano. Her eyebrow raised in obvious annoyance at the assumption made by her companion.
Sano raised his hand in defense. "Most of the women I know are afraid of thunder. They wanted to be near a man to protect them when there are thunders," Sano explained.
Megumi snorted when she heard the explanation. "Well, I am not most women Sano."
"I know Megumi," Sano agreed which surprised Megumi. She was expecting Sano to give more outrageous explanation. "I am glad of that."
"But damn Fox, sometimes I wish you're one of those women, you know," Sano said.
"Why is that?" The surprised Megumi asked.
"So that you won't be too far for me to reach then at least when it rains, I can hold you." Sano gently looked at the stunned Megumi then started to walk back to the clinic.
"Let's go fox. The rain has stopped."
