Chapter 2

A/N: Okay, I realized that the story wasn't spaced because of stupid Word. (But I typed it right!) -_- SO I'm gonna have to do some weird spacing things this time. Enjoy.

"Okay, what happened was Sano passed out in the bar and a fight broke out so all of us left so I carried him home, then when the redhead showed me Sano's room and I put him down I tripped and fell on his chest then he grabbed me in his sleep and wouldn't let go!" Ayanna said all at once.

"Are we supposed to believe that?" Megumi laughed.

"Well.yeah." she replied, sounding very stupid.

Sano was getting mad. "We didn't do anything!" he shouted.

"Come on," Yahiko said, "fess up."

Ayanna ran out of the room and said, "I'll be back soon. I've just got to shower and change. Then we can debate this some more, if you still don't believe us."

Before anyone could say anything, she was gone.

"Ayanna wait-" Sano had begun, "Great. Thanks a LOT, guys. We really didn't do anything! Now she's going to be afraid to even be seen with me any more because she'll think you guys will just make fun of us."

"Haha. But we won't, I mean, any more," Yahiko rubbed the back of his neck.

Sano shoved them out and shut his door.

Sano started to think.'I don't love Megumi. Not any more. Who do I love? Ayanna? We've been friends for a while.Do I want it to be more than just friendship? Yes. Does she?'

-------Ayanna------

She dried her hair and sighed as she pulled out her clothes, and also began to think.

'Why was that such a big deal? Why do I care what they think? Is it because I love Sanosuke, but don't want to admit it? That can't be it. And plus, he loves that Megumi chick.'

Subconsciously she knew she loved him. Subconsciously she knew he loved her.

---------------Twenty minutes later------------

Ayanna showed up wearing pants like Kenshin's and a sky blue shirt like Kenshin's too. It hung open pretty far so Sano blushed when he saw it. Since he was up in a tree he had to look down to talk to his friend, so that was even worse. Her hair was in a tight bun on top of her head. (I dunno.That sentence is sort of out of place there but just to make things easier to imagine.)

"Hi Sano!"

"Hi Ayanna. Sorry about the whole mess this morning."

Ayanna laughed, "It's okay! Where are the other guys?"

"They're out at the food market."

"Sano.um.We're friends right?"

"Yeah."

"Sano I-this is going to sound dumb, but.I don't want to be just friends. I have dreams about you. I love you. I realize that now."

Sano smiled. He was beaming. This was amazing. It was true. It was real.

"Wow. This is-wow. I didn't think it was true-wow. I love you too." Mentally he was beating himself from sounding so dumb.

"I'd love to give you a kiss but you're up in that tree," Ayanna smiled.

She began to climb the tree and finally reached the branch where Sano sat.

Ayanna turned to him and pecked him on the cheek.

Sano turned and put his hands around her thin waist then gently pressed his lips on to hers.

She returned the kiss and it became deeper and more forceful.

"I love you," he said when they finally broke the kiss.

Kenshin and the others came back to the dojo an hour later and the two were still sitting up in the tree talking and laughing.

They watched the sun set and then fell asleep in the tree with rain clouds beginning to gather above them.

It began to rain on them so they both woke up and climbed down the tree.

"We're just a regular Kenshin and Kaoru," Sano joked.

Ayanna smiled and got an idea.

"Let's go mud sliding!" she said, as they both became chibi.

"Umm."

"Come on, Sano! I know the perfect place! How much of your zabatou is left?"

Sano's eyes got wider.

"A little bit."

"THAT will be out mud sled!"

"Okay. O_O"

So Sano got out the remainder of his zanbatou (which he had secretly kept.) and the couple went to a large ditch and sledded down it.

When they got to the bottom they were too lazy to climb back up and just wrestled in the mud.

The sun rose a half-hour later and the rain stopped. Now that they could see each other clearly they saw that their clothes and skin were brown from mud.

It was the start of a great day.

END CHAPTER 2

A/N: I got bored. I ran out of ideas. It'll get better later. More dramatic. Less random insanity. This chapter was basically just explaining how they bonded and giving you a better idea about Ayanna's personality.
