Hey everybody. *chuckles* I guess I owe an explanation for this one. Originally, I was going to post something, at the very end of the year: a 365 day challenge thing. But, it ended up becoming super complicated for me, since I had to create my own days. So, I decided to just go ahead and post the 'New Years' one-shots now and then deal with the other things I wrote later. Maybe give you guys several one-shots to read if you ever get bored? *shrugs* Anyway, hope you enjoy them... they were a pain in the ass to write... *sighs in slight annoyance* And also, thank you so much to those who are following me or any stories and also thank you to anyone who has read, liked, or favorited my stories.

This is Sanoken yaoi, with a hint of Kamegumi.

Disclaimer: Nope, nothing. *deflates*

Updated Title: "Drunken love and Kisses"

Words: 729

Loud cheers and joyous laughter was passed all around the small room as the residents of the Kamiya Kasshin-ryu dojo celebrated the start of a new year.

Kaoru Kamiya was giggling uncontrollably at something that Megumi Takani had said, clinging to her arm as she drank the last of what sake was in her cup. The older lady was grinning wide and talking non-stop to Sanosuke Sagara and Yahiko Myojin. Yahiko was trying to grab some of the sake for himself, grumbling and whining as Sanosuke held the bottle out of his reach.

The last one sitting in the humble little circle, was Kenshin Himura, who was once the famous and well known Hitokiri Battosai but was now a wandering swordsman who wanted nothing more than the happiness of his newly found family, no matter how strange the said family was.

He smiled wide as he sipped from his own cup of sake, wide and bright violet eyes staring at his friends and family.

"Come on Sanosuke!" Yahiko whined, trying to reach for the bottle of sake once again.

"No way squirt! You can't have any until you're older!" Sanosuke laughed and Yahiko finally gave up, sitting back down with an annoyed huff.

"Come on Sano~!" Megumi smirked, clearly drunk, "Give the kid some sake, it won't hurt him!"

"Yeah, give the kid some sake!" Yahiko said quickly and Sano laughed loudly.

"Nope, not gonna happen!" Sano said, and to prove his point, he began chugging down the entire bottle on his own.

Kenshin laughed a little and he turned his attention to Kaoru as the girl clung tighter to Megumi. "M-Megumi~!" Kaoru hiccuped, giggling and grinning like a lovesick school girl. "Megumi~! I... I wanna ki...kiss!" She hiccuped, but got her point across.

The fox looked down at her with a hazy smirk and laughed. "Alright, no more sake for you, Kaoru." She chuckled and Kaoru pouted.

"B-but Megumi-kun!" Kaoru hiccuped again, cuddling Megumi's arm.

Sano grinned wide and nudged Megumi's other arm. "Ah, come on, Vixen, ain't gonna hurt nothing if you kiss her." He laughed and ducked away when Megumi tried hitting him.

Said fox smirked then. "I'll only kiss my little Kaoru if you kiss Kenshin~!" Her smirk grew as she saw Sanosuke pause and she nearly laughed her ass off when she saw Kenshin choke on his drink.

"O-oro?" Kenshin questioned, confused. "Miss Megumi, surely you aren't..." he trailed slightly, violet eyes worried as he glanced back and forth between Sanosuke and Megumi.

"Go on...!" Megumi cheered. Something flashed in Sanosuke's eyes at this and he huffed in annoyance. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Megumi started chanting and soon after, both Kaoru and Yahiko joined in, chanting the one word over and over.

Eventually, Sanosuke slammed his cup down, scaring Kenshin, causing the red haired man to turn to Sanosuke. "S-Sano-kun...?" That one word was still being chanted and Kenshin was sure Sano was going to hit someone.

He was very surprised and very shocked though when Sanosuke reached across the table and grabbed his kimono and pulled him forward, crashing his lips against his own. Kenshin's eyes went wide for a moment before he allowed them to close and he kissed back, making a small noise in the back of his throat, barely hiding the small whimper that escaped when Sanosuke pulled away, sitting back.

Sanosuke grinned wide as he saw Kenshin's expression. It was priceless, and to be honest, better than what the ex-street fighter was expecting. He then turned to Kaoru and Megumi. "Alright, now it's your turn!" He grabbed his drink again and chugged it down.

Kaoru was giggling once more and she let a bright smile cross her lips as Megumi leaned down and kissed her. Once she did, Kaoru clung tighter to her, refusing to let go unless she needed to.

Yahiko laughed loudly at this display, somehow not feeling left out. He just knew that Megumi and Kaoru would end up together, even Kenshin and Sanosuke! It was inevitable in the end. He raised his cup that was filled with juice and he grinned. "Here's to us and the start of a great year!" He cheered and Sano, Kenshin, and Megumi all raised their glasses while Kaoru hummed happily.

"To us!" They cheered, and the sound of glasses clinking together rang throughout the empty yard of the dojo.

I rather liked this one. *smirks*
