Author notes: Kenshin and
company do not belong to me, this is a sappy fic, I hope you don't mind.
"Won ya!" shouted the drunk
gangster.
"You cheating moron!" said
another guy beside him.
"Yeah! Nobody wins so
easily!" said at unison other two. The three men stood up and glanced at the
drunk gangster.
"Wanna a fight?" asked the
rooster head almost holding his balance. The three men took looks to each other
grinning evilly. One of them nodded and trodden his knuckles. The two went, and
grabbed him from the back, while he was jerking them off, the other one send
him punches all through his body.
"Feh, I see…poor man, I don't
want to waste my time in such a pitiful guy, whada ya say guys?" said one, stop
hitting him. The other ones agreed and let loose, the gangster felt dull in the
floor, while the others got his money and kicked him a little more.
"Whada ya say if we drop him
on the sexy doctor's clinic?" he said grinning.
"What for, he had enough" one
of them refuted.
"That sexy doctor killed one
of my friends, let's give her a pleasant visit" he said carrying the gangster
like a bag.
"Are you serious man?" the other one said confused.
"Yeah, let's give the sexy
doctor what she deserves, this useless moron almost dead" he talked
triumphantly.
"Why don't we kill him?" said
another one, joining the conversation.
"I rather wanna think the
sexy doctor suffering because of this moron's fortune" he said entering to the
ground of the clinic.
"Are you nuts? Why should we
bring this thing to a clinic! We want him to suffer, not to be cured!" he said
angrily.
"Oh just shut up! Will ya! I
know what am I doin'" he said dropping
the gangster onto the floor.
"But I don't think the doctor
will suffer, they 've told me that they get along pretty bad!" disproved again.
"I know, but I also now that
doc cares about this moron" his brown eyes flashed with suspicion.
"…" the other rolled his
eyes, the other knocked the clinics door. The three got out like a flash.
"Who is it?" Megumi said with
drowsy eyes. He slide the door and didn't see anyone.
"I hate those stupid jokes"
said closing the door again, but then a glint took a look at something on the
door.
"What's that?" he said rubbed
her eyes for a better vision. Her eyes widened as she realized it was a person,
covered with blood. She tried to drag the person inside the clinic, she was
exhausted and she decided to take a nap in the patient's table.
"Wow, this person is too
heavy!" she said making her efforts to put the person on to the table.
"Poor thing, those guys gave
him a real kick in the ass" she said looking him merely, she washed the
patient, and put him some bandages, she got to his face, as she realized he
was…
"ROOSTER HEAD!" she shouted,
her eyes wide open.
"Nice to see you too, fox,
wait a sec…whada ya doin' in this gambling place?" he babbled. She rolled her
eyes.
"You're not in the in the
gambling place drunk rooster" she said annoyingly
"oh, I see, then we are
having a night together, I didn't knew I could get so far with a fox, was it
good?" he asked.
Megumi out of her nerves,
smacked his head, making his eyes spin like marbles.
"What did ya do that for!?"
he moaned.
"We didn't sleep together! I
rather be dead than touching you!" he said we a little blush on her cheeks.
"you've already did, putting
me these bandages" he said mockingly. Megumi's anger got worst.
"I MEAN TOUCHING YOU ON
PURPOSE!!!" she shouted.
"Cut it off!! My head hurts
as hell!" he groaned. Megumi clenched her fists, and took two pills and water.
"Take this…it will soothe
your pain" she said not looking at him.
"Thanks fox, but you haven't
bothered, I could take care of my self" he said taking the pills.
"Baka!" she growled. Sano smiled
scornfully.
"But anyway thanks, aren't
you goin' home?" he said blurting a eruct. She looked at him disgustingly.
"No until my last patient go"
she said crossing her arms.
"I think I'll sleep here,
it's late for a drunk man to get on the streets alone, you know?" he said
laying in the table.
"Oh no! you can't sleep
here!" she said dragging his shirt.
"Why not?" he said
innocently. Megumi gazed him
dangerously, then she went to the storage room, and shut the door.
"Do whatever you want!" she
said aloud. Sano cuddle up in a fetal position as he rested his head on the
pillow.
Then 15 min. later the snores
of Sanosuke were heard in all the neighborhood.
"Oh, can't he just sleep
without snoring!!!??" she said covering her ears as she leaped from the chair she
was sleeping on.
"I'll fix that" said drowsily sliding the door, she saw him
sleeping deeply, snoring like hell and his saliva hanging out from his mouth.
"Adorable picture" she said
sarcastically. She moved Sanosuke so he didn't snore so loud, she positioned
him better, and covered him with a blanket, he smiled, and Megumi felt touched,
how many times she would give to see him smile that way.
"Wait a second, what the hell
am I thinking of?!" she said surprised. Sanosuke? Attractive? No way!
But then she recorded that
smile on her head, it was pure not sarcastic neither evilly.
"Maybe those unspent hours
are driving me crazy" she said rubbing her forehead.
"Where you spying me?" a
complete awaken Sanosuke joked the doctor.
"Neither in your dreams" she said,
making her way to the wooden chair. Sanosuke took her arm.
"Nah, don't lie to me fox,
you were looking at my great body, you want me!" he grinned, She hate that
grin.
"I would never want a rooster
on my bed! Neither if you have great body!" she hissed, turning around to look
art him.
"Oh, so you think I have a
great body?" he said sitting on the table. Megumi turned around gritting her
teeth, thanks to the night, he couldn't se her reddish tune in her cheeks.
"Whatever!" she said giving
up and turning again. Sanosuke had almost his feet on the floor.
"So…what where you doing
here?" he asked a little bit serious. She turned around, anger was now on her
voice.
"Because you almost, or you
have already did, woke all the people with your snores! I changed you position
so you could breathe well, so you couldn't snore like that!" she said crossing
her arms, her brows met.
"Easy fox, it's ok, good
night" he said smiling brightly. She hummed until she reached the door, again
Sanosuke interrumped her asking.
"I can't sleep" he said like
a little boy. Megumi turned around stamping her feet on the floor, her nails
digging in her flesh as he clench them on her palm.
"WHAT!!!!?? WHAT THE HELL DO
YOU WANT!!??" she said annoyed. Sanosuke gulped a little bit.
*I think this time I passed a
little, she is looking at Jo-chan! Help!* he thought. Then he saw the blood
across her hands. He took one of them. Megumi leaped a little at Sanosuke's
touch, this time it was so gentle and caress.
"Why did ya hurt?" he asked
glanced her hand, Megumi pulled her hand off from his grip.
"Like if you would care" she
said covering her hand with the other one. Sanosuke stood up from the table,
and went for a bandage, alcohol, and water. He put them on the table.
"What are you doing?" she
said frowning in confusion still anger lingering on her voice.
"Whada ya think I'm doin',
corn pops?" he said seriously.
"Put that back on the
cabinet" she ordered, Sano looked at her menacingly.
"Ya can cure me, but I can
cure the fox?" he said crossing her arms, his chocolate eyes determined. Megumi
stared at those eyes, a brief blush crept onto Sano's cheeks.
"Well are ya lettin' me do
it, or not?" he said. Megumi only nodded still an angry faction on her face.
Sano grinned, another victory for him. He took her hands with extreme caution,
almost like feathers. Then he ripped off a clean bandage and poured some
alcohol on it. He gently cleaned the blood, as he touched the cuts. Megumi bit
her lip as she whimpered in pain.
"Gotta cut those claws fox,
look whatcha done" he said still cleaning, she hummed but he half smiled at
that.
"Owari, a perfect job!" he
said releasing Megumi's hand, Megumi's hand seemed like a big snowball.
"…" -_-; Megumi sighed. Sano
looked at her, with a disapproving look.
"What?" he said, Megumi
pointed her hand.
"It looks like a snowball"
she sighed again " I think I better do my job by myself, thanks anyway" she
said unwrapping her hand, and putting the bandages already.
"Well, I'm better for other
things, I think it wasn't my night after all" he smiled sheepishly scratching
the back of his head. Megumi smirked weakly.
"Are ya tired, ne?" he said
sitting again on the table. She nodded, she was so tired that she could not
even reply at Sano's retorts. Sano crossed his arms along his chest, looking
thoughtfully. Megumi almost closed her eyes, also her balance was awful, she
leaned on the wall.
"Excuse me, I want some
sleep" she said still supporting on the wall, she sitted on the chair, leaning
her head on the the wall.
"Oi, tha fox is getting' ol'"
He said waking to see her if she was ok. He saw her on the chair. He tiptoed
and kneeled beside her, he moved her a little.
"Fox…foxy…wake up" he
whispered in her ear, Megumi woke up and feeling shivers through her spine as
she felt Sanosuke's breath on her ear. She groaned loud, and send him a cold
glare.
"What do you want!!!!!!" she
said angrily. Sanosuke stood up.
"I can't sleep" he said
shortly, Megumi also stood up.
"So? Does your injuries hurt?
Does the man "I can't take care of my self" needs help?!" she hissed. Sanosuke
rolled his eyes.
"Easy fox, I just said I
can't sleep" he replied. She put her hands on her head annoyingly.
"Do I look like a mommy?! I
just want to sleep! I think you're to grown up to tell me than childish stuff"
she said sitting on the chair and closing her eyes. Again Sanosuke kneeled and
whispered on her ear.
"I can't sleep…" Megumi
pushed him away, making Sano fall on his butt.
"Stop doing that!" she
shouted.
"Oi, Fox, you don't have to
be so aggressive!" he said rubbing his butt.
"I am, when stupid rooster
heads wake me up because they can't sleep!" she said still eyes closed.
"I can't sleep 'cause I don't
have a warm chic by my side.." this time she muttered in her ear more
seductively. Megumi again whacked him two meters away.
"You stupid porn rooster
head! I'm not one of the 'chic's' so get to a club and get one!" she said
struggling in the wooden chair. Sano half smiled.
"Do you want me to do that?"
he said approaching again. Megumi covered her ears.
"I don't care, so let me
sleep" she said turning her back to him. Sano touched her back with lightening
fingers.
"Nah, they aren't like some
girl I know" he said traveling his soothing fingers on Megumi's back, she was
biting her lip, it was so relaxing, she sighed letting her hands fall from her
head.
"Good for her…so could you
let my back alone?" she said in a harsh tone, so he could no see or feel she
was enjoying it. Sano stopped, then he stood up.
"Fox lady, I can't sleep" he
said bothering again. Megumi turned;
"I said no, Sagara, I'm not
like them, I'm not going to sleep with you like the girls do in the bar" she
said annoyed yet serious, but this answer went far, Megumi knew it and wanted
to apologize but her proud won't let it.
*He deserve it* she thought.
Sanosuke's look went serious, and his brows met.
"Are ya deaf? I said
*they aren't like some girl I know*" he said serious.
"I don't know her, so leave
me alone" she said regretfully. Sano approached, and grabbed her by her waist
lifting her and attaching her to the wall.
"Let me down!" she said
struggling against his grip. He grinned.
"This girl is a pretty
Jo-chan like… you know?" he said rubbing his callused hand on her cheek. Megumi
stopped struggling at Sano's touch. She relaxed…
"Ah grumpy one? Why are you
telling me this, I don't even know her, I don't even care" she said seriously
with a hint of jealousy. Sanosuke began to caress her hair, combining it with
his fingers.
"She's so easy to make her
angry, and her insults make me want her more" he said whispering Megumi began
to shiver.
"Do you love her?" she said
afraid of the worst. Sano lowered his head.
"I'm afraid so…" he said
lamely, Megumi's anger grew, Who was she? She was the only one that have the
honor to insult him, to show him how pitiful he was, Megumi was a bundle of
jealousy.
"So, what are you telling me
this, so I get jealous? I'm afraid not" she lied. Sanosuke smiled.
"She also can be so stupid,
so grumpy, and also jumps into conclusions without knowing the truth" he said
approaching his face to hers. Megumi frowned.
"Poor girl, yep, it has to be
you the one that matches with that pitiful girl!" she said angrily. Sanosuke
dropped his head on her shoulder -_-;
"Yep…poor girl, she only
thinks on work, and she also shouts me" he said with a big sweat drop, still
his voice perfectly intact, deep…
"So why do you love her?!"
she said pushing him away to look him in the eye. Sano smiled again.
"'Cause she's sexy, in a
matter of fact smart, when she's angry she looks pretty, but when she smiles
she's just beautiful" he said smiling.
*Why in the world is he
smiling? Do I look stupid? And he's smiling, does he know that I care? That
stupid girl is taking my stupid hentai rooster head!* she thought with more
anger. For her surprise, she realized she HAD feelings for the rooster head,
that he sometimes could be the antonym of his kanji "bad" so stupid yes, so
stupidly funny…but now that stupid girl had won the big price, she won't let
him know that she cares…she won't.
"And, does she know you love
her?" he said coldly, Sano chuckled.
"Hm…may be" he said,
tightening his grip. Megumi pushed away.
"So why are you flirting?"
she said frowning, Sano burst into laughter. Making Megumi more confused and
angry.
"You're right…"He said
grinning, crossing his arms on his chest.
"You know what, I'd better
say her that right now, don't you think?" he said grabbing his shirt, as if he
was leaving.
"I don't care, do whatever
you want" she said crossing her arms, not looking at him.
"At least what's her name?"
she said as if she don't mind, but she failed. A quivering silence went to the
room, Sano sighed, and clenched his fists.
"Fox…Fox Lady Takani" he said
with a beautiful smile, she was shocked, then anger welled up to her face.
"Who are you calling
stupid!!?? Unconscious??! And grumpy?? And like Jo-chan????!" she shouted.
"Hey! At least I didn't said
pitiful girl!" he snorted.
"Hmpf!" she said in defeat.
Sano approached…again embracing her waist. Rubbing his fingers across her
cheek.
"I also said, sexy" Sano
kissed her throat "smart…" he kissed her forehead "and beautiful" he kissed her
nose.
Megumi traced her finger
across his bare chest, sending him now, shiver to all his spine. She kissed his
nose.
"You'd said you'd better die
than to touch this rooster" he said teasingly.
"I said the fox would take
the risk" she said crushing her red lips in his, he made it deep, moving his
fingers through her ebony hair. As she did the same with his brownish one. Then
the hole hand traced her curves as she massaged his chest.
"You're better kissing than
putting bandages" she said breaking the kiss for air. Sano chuckled and sucked
again her parted lips.
"Yeah, may be, it wasn't may
night anyway" he said putting his arms behind his head. Megumi glared at him.
"Until now…" he murmured with
a great smile, she smiled him too.
"I can't sleep…" he repeated.
Megumi grinned evilly. Sanosuke looked like an innocent child.
"Maybe fox lady can arrange
that" she said putting her fists on her hips, with fox ears.
"That was what I was waiting
for!" he said carrying her to the patient's table, then they kissed furiously,
until little by little the rooster slept because of the fox's/vixen's warmth.
The
End
Author final notes; I know
the feminine for fox is vixen, but in most of all the fanfics and manga/tv
translations I've heard or read "fox" so, gomen minna sama if that bother you.
