A/N: New chapter of AHS is here! Lol, enjoy folks!
Kenshin and Kaoru were in class.
"Did you finish the study guide?" Kenshin asked.
"Yeah, but barely. I had to finish my other study guide too. So much work for the end of the semester!"
"Tell me about it. No break at all either."
Both teens sighed.
"High School sucks." Kenshin said.
"Well this first semester wasn't exactly what I was hoping it'd be either. I've practically lost my best friend, and to one of the biggest tramps in the school at that!"
"Sanosuke will come around Kaoru. It's no big deal."
"It's been over a month. I don't think he'll ever come around."
"You haven't butt into his relationship, and he appreciates you for that."
"Sano and I haven't been as close as we usually are. We always hang out. I mean of course we have our differences, but we always manage to the work them out you know?"
Sanosuke walked into class.
"Oh great. Here comes another day of being ignored."
"Hey Kenshin! Hey Kaoru!" Sanosuke said cheerfully as he sat in between the two.
Kenshin smiled at Kaoru who was looking shocked.
"This is a pleasant surprise!" Kaoru said.
"I realized that I shouldn't go overboard with the whole shunning you thing. That wasn't very mature of me."
"Don't worry about it. I'm just glad we're friends again."
"Me too." Sanosuke said smiling at her.
"Sanosuke!"
Sanosuke looked up to see Megumi and Tsubame in the class. She was waving at him.
"Come sit with us!"
Sanosuke looked at Kenshin and Kaoru.
"You want to go?" Kenshin asked.
Sanosuke looked at Kaoru.
"As much as I appreciate you caring about my feelings, you don't need permission to go sit with your girlfriend." Kaoru said smiling.
"Thanks! You guys are the best!"
Sanosuke got up with his stuff and walked over to Megumi. The two kissed.
"I guess having him back as a friend, but dating that skank is better than not having him as a friend at all." Kaoru sighed.
"I guess that's one way of looking at it!" Kenshin said.
(Later…)
Sanosuke, Megumi, and Tsubame were walking down the hallway.
"So you feeling better honey? I know you've been feeling sick for a while."
"I'm good. Thanks for asking." Megumi said. She looked at saw Yamcha down the hallway. "On second thought, do you think you could get me some water?"
"Of course. Meet you at your locker?"
"Yeah!" Megumi said. "Thanks love!"
Sanosuke turned around and walked away.
"You and Sanosuke make such a cute couple it's ridiculous!"
"Yeah I guess so."
Tsubame looked at Megumi confused. "You guess so? He's awesome? What's wrong with him?"
Megumi ignored her friend's comment. Her eyes lit up as she got closer to Yamcha.
"Hey!" Megumi said.
Yamcha looked at her. "What's up."
"I was wondering If you'd like to hang out after school today?"
"I'm going out to dinner with Bulma. Sorry."
Megumi frowned. "You never take me out to dinner."
"You've got a boyfriend remember?"
"Not one who can drive me places."
Yamcha turned around. "I'm sure you'll find something to do."
Megumi rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Let's go Tsubame."
Tsubame was shocked. "You and Yamcha are still hooking up?"
"Don't act so surprised. Isn't it obvious?"
"What about Sanosuke?"
"I'm crazy about Sanosuke, but I feel the same way with Yamcha."
"Yamcha is taken Megumi! Why won't you get that through your thick head?"
"Yamcha might be taken, but we wouldn't be together so much if there weren't any feelings involved! Right?"
"What you're doing is immoral! I don't understand how you could do something so heartless! Bulma Briefs will KILL you if she finds out."
"She won't." Megumi said glaring at Tsubame.
"Megumi, you…."
"I what?" Megumi asked getting in Tsubame's face.
Tsubame started to say something, but just turned around and walked away.
"That's what I thought! Bitch."
Yamcha turned around and walked over to Megumi. "What was that all about?"
"Like you care."
"I was trying to be helpful for once."
"Tsubame's acting like some annoying brat right now, because she thought we stopped being sex buddies!"
"Do not call me that."
"Well it's true… unless you feel some sort of way about me to?"
Yamcha looked at Megumi. "I've got to go."
Megumi frowned and grabbed Yamcha's arm. "What the hell is your problem? Forgot to take your meds again Mr. Bipolar?"
Yamcha snatched his arm away from her. "I'd appreciate it if you don't speak to me for a few days."
Megumi's feelings looked hurt. "…What? Why?"
"I feel guilty enough just being a part of this whole thing, but the fact that you keep throwing the fact in my face over and over again does not make me feel any better!"
"Just admit to yourself that something is there, and we won't have a problem!"
"I won't do that!"
"You know, I'm not going to keep doing this."
"Doing what?"
"Have your little mood swings affect me! One minute we're good, the next we're bad, and then after that I don't know what we are!"
"Then take a hint, and don't talk to me anymore!"
"Fine! So when that little girlfriend of yours still won't put out, don't come crying to me!"
Yamcha and Megumi turned around and went in separate directions. They failed to notice that Kaoru had witnessed the whole confrontation.
"Oh no…" Kaoru said quietly.
(Later…)
"So, let me get this straight. She's cheating on him?" Yahiko asked.
"Yes. With the school's quarterback."
"Yamcha?" Kenshin asked.
"Yep. This sucks."
"Yes it does. Sanosuke will be crushed when you tell him!" Kenshin said.
"Are you insane? Sano and I just rebuilt our friendship, and I'm pretty sure he won't like me telling him about his cheating whore, let alone even believe me!"
"That's true. I never really thought about that."
"So what are we going to do about the whole situation?"
"I don't know. We can't let him continue the relationship, can we?"
"Quite the dilemma we have on our hands huh?" Yahiko asked.
"Not necessarily." Kaoru said with a smile.
"What are you thinking?" Kenshin asked.
"We're going to tell Bulma."
Kenshin and Yahiko looked at her surprised.
"Umm? Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"She has the right to know the truth does she not?"
"I understand what you mean, but think of the effects telling her will have."
"She'll harshly dump Yamcha, and hopefully kick the crap out of Megumi. Then Sanosuke will be sad, and we'll help him through his tough time!"
"You really think it's that simple?"
"Well… not really."
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that there are going to be some really negative chain reactions that won't just affect their relationship, but the whole school as well."
"For example, the whole school will hate Yamcha, he'll leave the football team, transfer schools, become quarterback for our rival team, and we'll never win football again!"
"So you're putting a dumb game over our friend's feelings?" Kaoru asked.
"I'm not trying to say that!" Yahiko said.
"Calm down you two. We need to think this out."
"Think what out?"
Everyone turned around to see Sanosuke.
"Sano!" Kaoru said laughing nervously. "We were just talking about the science study guide!"
"Oh the Earth Science? I hate that subject."
Sanosuke sat down beside his friends when Megumi walked up to him.
"Hey baby!" Megumi said. She kissed her boyfriend and Kaoru rolled her eyes. "What are you doing?"
"Just hanging out with the group! Care to join us?"
"Um… I really don't hang out with anyone who's not a cheerleader."
"Not good enough for ya? How about we get your lunch like servants?" Yahiko asked sarcastically.
"Really? I'd love that!"
Yahiko laughed. "Well she's got the dumb cheerleader persona down pact!"
"Listen you scrubs,"
"Ok! Yahiko, Megumi, are you two ever going to become friends?"
"Probably not." Yahiko said.
Sanosuke laughed. "Want to hang out after school Megumi?"
"Actually I've got some cheerleading stuff to do."
"I thought you didn't practice on Wednesdays?"
"Oh….! I meant a cheerleading dinner with the girls."
Kenshin had looked at the others. Yahiko looked away trying to keep himself from laughing and Kaoru just shook her head.
"Well that sucks!"
"I'm sorry! I'll make it up to you this weekend?"
"You could come to my parent's house for dinner! They'd love to meet you."
Megumi laughed. "I don't really do parents. Sorry."
"Huh? Why not?"
"It's just a lot of trouble, and I don't feel like putting on a show for people who are going to criticize me regardless of how I act."
"My parents aren't like that."
"Well my parents are. That's why you'll probably never meet mines. It'll save you the trouble."
Sanosuke frowned. "I think I can take criticism Megumi."
Megumi looked at Sanosuke. She was obviously getting irritated. "Look… I just don't think it's necessary to involve our parents into this. We're in 9th grade! We're just having fun right?"
"Having fun? I thought we were in a serious relationship!"
"I mean we are, but if my parents saw me with you."
"So there it is!" Sanosuke said angrily. "I figured as much! If you introduced me to your parents, they'd think I wouldn't be good enough for you would they?"
Megumi was mad. "You are a little weird Sanosuke. My parents expect me to end up with the rich pretty boy, and-"
"Not some Christian who doesn't have a penny to his name?"
"… Well you said it not me."
"You know Megumi, maybe you should just leave."
"Oh come on Sanosuke."
"GO!"
Megumi looked surprised and hurt, but turned around and walked away.
"You ok?" Kenshin asked.
"I don't know. I feel kinda stupid. Maybe I should reconsider this whole relationship thing? Why date someone who won't even think I'm good enough for their parents?"
Kaoru smiled. "So glad to hear you say that!" She said under her breath.
"What?"
"I said I need to stop eating I think I'm getting fat!" She said nervously.
"Oh… ok?"
Yahiko went over to his friend. "You alright?"
"I'm just fine. Maybe space is what we need."
"That's a very good thought Sanosuke." Kenshin said.
Kaoru smiled. "Things are finally starting to look up for us."
(Later…)
Megumi stormed into her room and slammed the door.
"Stupid Sanosuke, with his stupid suggestions. UGH! Why did he even have to mention my parents?"
She plopped herself onto the bed and looked up at the ceiling.
"Come on Megumi you're losing your touch. How do you screw up with two guys in one day? Maybe I do need an attitude check."
There was a knock on the door.
"Mom, I don't feel like coming out right now!"
Yamcha opened the door. "Hey."
Megumi rolled her eyes. "Who let you in here?"
"I'm your older study buddy remember?" Yamcha said laughing.
Megumi tried to keep herself from laughing. "You know my parents don't buy that for one minute right?"
"And they continue to let me come up here anyway?"
"It's my life, so they let me do what I want." Megumi said shrugging.
"I see."
There was an awkward silence between the two.
"Still didn't put out yet?"
Yamcha shook his head.
Megumi began smiling. "Then what are you waiting for? Get over here."
Yamcha smiled and rushed up to Megumi. The two began kissing as they leaned back on her bed.
A/N: -_- I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's totally lost respect for Yamcha? Lol pathetic I know, but what can you do except read on? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed! See you next update!
