You're Mine

Author's Notes: Gomen minna-san for taking so long. I have been struggling to get the ideas out of my head. And it's especially hard with lots of other paperwork due in school. Plus, I have been addicted to a site that offers role playing to any character of your choice. ^_^ Anyway, here's the story.

Disclaimers: As before, the characters are Watsuki-sama's brainchild, not mine.

Anji straightened up and walked over to one of the heavy bags. He tested its weight then shouted, "Sanosuke!" That earned him an irritated look from his student, but he merely raised an eyebrow and beckoned the young man to where he is.

"Let's see how you take this bag with me," Anji challenged.

Sanosuke took it. He punched and punched, then kicked and kicked, as hard as he can.

"So, Shouzo has you all worked up, ne?" Anji taunted, causing Sanosuke to imaging the bag as Shouzo's face.

"He's got something you don't, hasn't he?" the trainer continued, and this fueled Sanosuke more. Even Anji is already having a hard time keeping his ground, but he kept on annoying his student. It's because he knows that if he did not, he doesn't know where all that anger will be directed.

This went on for quite awhile. Anji, annoying his student, and Sanosuke, growing angrier and punching more forcefully as each second ticked by. But after sometime, Sanosuke's punches are starting to lose its power. Then finally, he stopped. Anji released the bag as Sanosuke slowly staggered to lean on the open window. He is gasping for air while his mind is on a whirlwind. Head bowed, he kept on clenching and unclenching his fists, as he sought to look for answers his mind is asking him.

Why in the world am I acting like this? He smacked his fist onto his palm. Who is she to affect me like that? I haven't even met her formally until today!

"Damn!" he muttered, bracing his hands on the window sill then threw his head back, letting the cool breeze cool him down.

"What do you think you're doing? Exposing your back like that?" Anji bellowed, making Sanosuke snap his head back up. "Do you want to get sick and get replaced by Rorenzo?" he continued as he thrust a drinking bottle and towel to his student.

Instead of answering, Sanosuke snatched the water bottle and towel. He faced the window and drank, then wiped himself free of sweat. Putting down the bottle and towel, he held on the window and gazed at the vast green field in front of him. Earlier, students would be seen practicing their respective sports: track and field, soccer, baseball… Now, all he can see is the empty field illuminated by the bright field lights. He didn't notice his master take a place beside him.

"What's wrong with you, Sano?" Anji asked. He was leaning on the wall beside the window with his arms crossed. "No one has ticked you off like that since Saitou was captain."

Sano just glanced at him and did not answer. He just looked back at the site before him.

Anji sighed. "Remember, think before you act." With that, he crossed the room and opened the door.

"And sort your feelings out," he added, before completely leaving the lone student at the window with the soft click of the closing door.

A/N: So here's a short chapter update on the fic. I know I told you that I'd be posting some kind of family tree before the second chapter? I'll do that around this week as I'm still deciding who will be a relative of whom. But I already have some ideas. XD Someone's going to have a twin! *laughs* So, 'till next time. Please be patient with me and please review. Ja!
