Hey, ye merrymen!! *Medieval music plays* How are ye?? This is the second part of my fic, and of course, it's pretty lame. I'm listening to "Kokoro no Hadaka" right now! It's really good; you should download it. Anyway, don't be fooled, this isn't a SanoXSouzou fic, man! So, Atlantis is opening tomorrow, ne?? I swear, the main character reminds me of Daigorou from the RK filler episodes...you'd think they'd copied him or something! Demo, I really, really, REALLY don't want to go see it!! So, this fic isn't the best U've ever done, but I think it's passable. x_x Don't expect it to be the best thing you've ever read, people!! But, I hope you like it! (searches pocket for cue card) Oh, this RK is the property of Watsuki-sensei, Shueisha, and a few others. Now please read and review, ye merrymen!
And, of course, this fic is dedicated to Nikay. She's the one who reminded me to make a fic about this pairing! ^^ You should check out her stories, too, cuz they're really good, man!
Hiru no Tsuki part 2:
Hoshi no Tsuki
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Darkness surrounded Sanosuke. He walked aimlessly, trying to find any sort of light. Many voices, neither man nor woman surrounded him. It was like they were in a conversation, all the voices were melding together. Sanosuke strained to hear what they were saying.
"Where am I?" Sanosuke whispered to himself, confusion taking over all rational thinking. Suddenly, all the voices were gone, and in front of him stood an all too familiar figure. Sanosuke stood there, staring at the figure. He took a breath and whispered, "Sagara-taichou...?"
Sagara Souzou smiled and said softly, "Sanosuke, I thought I'd never see you again." Sanosuke smiled, tears running down his face. "Taichou!" he cried, and ran to him. He wrapped his arms around Souzou, and was happy to find he wasn't hallucinating.
"Sanosuke..." Souzou whispered, stroking his hair. Sanosuke laughed and cried at the same time, resting his head on Souzou's shoulder, afraid he would disappear. But he was still there; his body radiating warmth and kindness and all he had been when Sanosuke was a boy. "Taichou...Sagara-taichou..." Sanosuke whispered.
He heard a soft voice calling to him. "Sano...Sano...Sanosuke..." Sanosuke opened his eyes and came face to face with Kenshin.
Sanosuke blushed as he realized it was Kenshin he was holding. 'It was only a dream...' Sanosuke thought, looking down and pulling away from Kenshin. "Uuuuhh...sorry, Kenshin..heheheh..." he said, trying to sound normal. He suddenly noticed that he was drenched, and they were outside by a riverbank. Everything that had happened suddenly came back to Sanosuke. Kenshin had a look of concern on as he stated, "I managed to get us out of the river, but you don't look that good, Sano. Are you all right?"
Sanosuke nodded his head violently. "I'm fine, really. Don't worry, I just feel a little dizzy." he grinned, but Kenshin put a hand to his and Sanosuke's head. He smiled sympathetically. "You have a fever, Sano. I'm sorry, I should've held on tighter when we were on the cliff or you wouldn't have gotten sick." Sanosuke smiled and shook his head. "Don't blame yourself for anything, Kenshin. It's my fault for getting hit in the first place."
Kenshin looked into Sanosuke's eyes. "Sano, were you having a bad dream? You kept on saying your captain's name." Sanosuke looked down, afraid Kenshin would see the tears that were quickly filling his eyes. "No, no, I'm fine. My dream was quite the opposite, actually. Just...don't worry about me, okay?" Kenshin placed his hand under Sanosuke's chin and forced him to look up.
Sanosuke blushed again and kept his eyes down, afraid of looking at Kenshin, whom he realized just then was exactly like Souzou. That was why he...loved him. Sanosuke's brow knitted. 'I love Kenshin...I love him...' Sanosuke slowly looked into Kenshin's eyes that were filled with concern. 'He's exactly the same as Sagara-taichou...except I didn't have a chance with him because I was just a kid...but...it's not like I have a chance with Kenshin. He and Kaoru love each other...I'm completely out of the picture.'
"Sano..." Kenshin's voice cut Sanosuke off from his thoughts. Kenshin looked deeply into his eyes, smiling softly. "Sano. How can I not worry about you?" Sanosuke gulped, feeling Kenshin's body heat as Kenshin leaned closer and placed his hands on Sanosuke's back.
Sanosuke's heart pounded loudly in his chest as Kenshin pressed Sanosuke against himself gently. Sanosuke's buried his face in Kenshin's hair, which had been taken down somewhere along the line. He inhaled the fresh, wet scent of Kenshin, trying to make the moment worth it.
Even though Sanosuke was shivering and soaked, being close to Kenshin made him feel a strong warmth. He wrapped his rams around Kenshin's shoulders slowly, unsure of what to do. It was getting colder, Sanosuke noticed, and he shivered even more. Kenshin hugged Sanosuke tighter, trying to keep him warm with his bodyheat.
Kenshin's hands trailed down Sanosuke's side absentmindedly until he reached his hips. Sanosuke blushed and felt an uncomfortable feeling rise in his stomach. "Ken..shin..." he whispered, as Kenshin's hands went farther down. Kenshin smiled, still keeping a hand on Sanosuke's back for support.
He suddenly stopped when Sanosuke gritted his teeth, gripping his shoulders tightly. "Your wound..." Kenshin murmered, taking hold of Sanosuke's leg. Sanosuke blushed, embarrassed Kenshin was taking care of him. "Keep holding onto my shoulders, Sano." Kenshin said, smiling softly. Sanosuke nodded uncertainly and Kenshin pushed down his pant leg, revealing nicely toned legs.
Kenshin ripped part of his hakama, enough to be used as a bandage. Sanosuke's heart raced as Kenshin's calloused, rough hands went up his leg to his thigh. He wrapped the cloth around the wound as Sanosuke berated himself for being so weak in front of the man he secretly adored.
When Kenshin was finished he kept his hands on Sanosuke's leg, a faint blush on his cheeks. Sanosuke was suddenly very nervous, shivers going down his spine. Kenshin whispered something, and Sanosuke leaned closer. "What?" he asked, his heart pounding again. Kenshin shook his head, smiling sadly. "Nothing...I'm sorry, Sano."
"Oh." Sanosuke felt dissappointed, thinking Kenshin was going to say something. But Kenshin still kept his hand on Sanosuke's leg, blushing. They both stared into each other's eyes for a long time, the wind picking up again.
Sanosuke took his hands off Kenshin's shoulders, rubbing his arms for warmth. Kenshin shivered, too, and stood up. "Eh..so what exactly do we do now?" Sanosuke asked quietly. Kenshin looked out over the river. "We can't get back to the dojo now, so we'll have to spend the night here, I guess." Sanosuke slid his pant leg back over his leg and put his knees to his chest, trying to keep out the cold.
"I'm fuckin' freezing..." he said to himself. Kenshin looked with concern at Sanosuke, who was shivering uncontrollably. "Poor Sano..." Kenshin whispered. He sat down beside him and took his jacket off for him. "Wha-?" Sanosuke asked, startled. "You have a fever so you shouldn't be wearing wet clothes, Sano." Kenshin said with a smile. Sanosuke shrugged, grinning. "I'm tougher than I look. Plus, I'm not gonna take off my pants." Kenshin smiled, glad that Sanosuke was acting normal.
But still, Sanosuke kept on shivering. Without warning, Kenshin gathered Sanosuke up in his arms and pressed Sanosuke's head against his shoulder. Sanosuke blushed but didn't do anything. He felt so warm and safe in Kenshin's arms, not caring about anything else. A strange sadness came over him, as he realized how much he wanted to tell Kenshin how he felt.
'Kenshin...if only you knew how much you mean to me...When will I finally be able to tell you?' Sanosuke let go of Kenshin, not wanting to lose control. Kenshin seemed to understand, and he took off his gi. Sanosuke blushed faintly, looking away. An owl flew overhead, blocking out the moon. And meanwhile, someone was slowly appoaching.
To be continued.
