Chapter 1:
"Reencounters"
"Alright, moment of truth, and now... We look!" Yahiko said. This was his favorite pastime during college classes and it worked so very well. Discreetly turning his head away from Sanosuke, Yahiko glanced upwards towards the seats on the higher level so he could look up his classmate's skirt and he gasped in surprise at the colorful assortment of red and purple lips on the girl's underwear. "Awww.... Dude!"
Frantically, Yahiko tugged on Sanosuke's sleeve and pointed up at the unsuspecting girl, whispering, "Whoa! Hey, hey, hey! Dude, she's got little lips on her panties! She's got little lips on her panties! Look, you pussy! Look!"
Sanosuke only rolled his eyes and continued moving to his desk as Yahiko resumed in looking up all the other girls' skirts as they passed by them to get to their desks. Somehow he really got off of that. (A/N: Don't ask me, guys get off of a lot of things... )
"Sano! What the hell is wrong with you?! Just take a quick look, alright? Come on, man! Aw, you're no fun!" Yahiko whined, but Sanosuke only kept walking, ignoring his perverted friend's ranting.
Sanosuke wasn't about to sink down to Yahiko's level and steal a look at some girl's underwear when he can get permission from his girlfriend to do that... willingly. He was dedicated to Megumi. Sanosuke doubted if Yahiko even knew the meaning of the word 'commitment' or if he did, he didn't act like it. Taking his seat in the front, Sanosuke took one last look at his notes for the test as Yahiko continued staring at the same girl's drawers in the middle of the classroom with a nod of approval and a slight hint of drool.
Getting slightly annoyed, their college professor, Anji, tapped Yahiko on the shoulder to get his attention away from the girl's unmentionables.
"Try to get some on your own time, buddy, not mine," Anji warned, pushing a blushing Yahiko toward his seat in the back of the room and sighed as he handed out the finals exams out to each student. "Put away your notes now and take out a #2 pencil for the exam please."
"You don't even know what you were missing, man!" Yahiko whispered during the test, Sanosuke barely paying attention to a word Yahiko was saying, "Those were some killer panties! I can't believe you didn't look! Come on, there's nothing wrong with just looking! I bet Megumi checks out millions of guys a day! Hell, she's probably doing it right now!"
"Yahiko, shut up and take the damn test," Sanosuke whispered back and Yahiko's mouth clamped shut after viewing the way Sanosuke was practically crushing the pencil in his hand.
Sano knew there was really no way of knowing if Megumi was as tuned into their relationship as he was, but even if she did look at other guys, he trusted her enough to know that she wouldn't do anything more than that. Yahiko was right in his theory of it was okay to just look, but Yahiko's idea of "looking" was staring down girls' shirts and peeking up their skirts. It just wasn't something Sanosuke thought he should waste his time on.
The test took up to an hour and when Sanosuke was finished, he let out a relieved sigh. At seeing his friend was no longer preoccupied with the exam, Yahiko nudged him in the ribs with his elbow, making him turn to look at Yahiko's paper, only to find that he had filled in the bubbles for his name as, "Bitemyweiner." Sanosuke frowned, but Yahiko smiled at him, proud of his 'clever' nickname and he pointed at it with his index finger.
"It's German," Yahiko announced, "you pronounce it, 'Beit-mei-wayner.'"
Sanosuke laughed, but was immediately shushed by about a dozen other people in the class. Shrinking back, they both got up to turn in their exams at the professor's desk, cringing at the millions of angry eyes glaring at their backs.
Yahiko, not wanting to pass up the last opportunity he had to look at the girl's underwear again, stole another quick glance before they headed out the door, pausing in the doorway so that he could lean back and get a good last look.
"You're an idiot," Sanosuke chuckled, shaking his head as he pushed Yahiko out the door, despite his protests that he wanted to stay and look up the girl's skirt some more, "Hurry up, Yahiko. Move it already! I gotta go surprise Megumi at her med school and you stopping every fifteen seconds to check out every single pair of legs that passes by is gonna make me late."
"Not every pair of legs!" Yahiko defended himself, but he lost his point when a pretty sophomore passed them and Yahiko stopped to watch her leave, whistling low as she walked by, "Hey, Cupcake! What's your sign?"
The girl kept on walking, much to Yahiko's disappointment, and after a few moments, he just shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, uh.... that went well," Yahiko said, nodding his head at his good take on the situation and Sanosuke laughed.
"You might wanna work on those communication skills, Yahiko," Sanosuke offered as he climbed into his car and Yahiko went over to his. The engine was still a little burnt out, but it was still capable of running for a couple more miles.
"I'll see ya later, Yahiko," Sanosuke said, waving at his friend before he drove out of the parking lot to go see Megumi over at Tokyo University. He had promised to meet her at Saito's party that evening, but instead, he decided to see her a couple hours earlier.
Sanosuke reached her college a few minutes before her class got out and he decided to wait out on the front steps of the building she was in, his back to the building's entrance as multiple med school students passed him on their way down the stairs. A few minutes later, Sano heard Megumi's voice in the distance and he automatically stood up, dusting himself off so he could look a little more decent as she approached. She was talking with some guy, laughing about something he said, and even with trust in mind, Sanosuke could still feel a slight twang of jealousy. He walked over and made his presence known.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Megumi laughed to her classmate, the man's ice blue eyes twinkling as he spoke to her, "I mean, you just can't be serious!"
"No, really! I know for a fact that Kamatari got some surgery done. Very special surgery, if you know what I mean," he said and Megumi burst out laughing again.
"Hey Fox," Sanosuke said, interrupting her conversation with the other man.
"Sano!" Megumi cried, throwing her arms around him in a tight embrace, "What're you doing here? I thought I was gonna meet you at the party later!"
"Yeah, well, I decided to drop by and say hey instead," he replied. Turning his attention to Megumi's friend, he put his hand out to shake. "Hi, I'm Sanosuke Sagara."
"Aoshi Shinimori," the man said in return, shaking Sanosuke's offered hand, and after that was done, he turned back to Megumi. "Look, I gotta go, but I'll see you on the plane later, okay? Nice meeting you, Sanosuke."
"Alright, bye!" Megumi called after him as he made his exit. Sanosuke gave a polite nod to him before he walked off, his trench coat blowing out behind him until his silhouette slowly disappeared as he got farther away.
Turning back to her boyfriend, Megumi started with him down the steps with her arm linked through his. "Well, I was really surprised to see you. We've got a few hours before my flight so I guess that means we have some free time then," she said, comfortably leaning on his shoulder, "Got any ideas of what we can do to pass some time?"
"Actually, I do have an idea in my head. It involves me showing you how much I missed you," Sanosuke said, leading her down to the parking lot and he ushered her inside the passenger seat of his car. Megumi strapped herself in as he went around to his side and got in as well.
"I have a feeling this idea of you showing me how much you missed me revolves around me and you in your bedroom," Megumi replied, her fox ears popping up from the sides of her head, concluding his exact thoughts as if he had actually said them out loud. Sano smiled at how well she was able to read his mind.
"Nah," Sanosuke replied with a sly grin as they drove, "You're only half right about that."
"Explain," Megumi said, folding her arms across her chest as she intently watched him drive.
"Well, you got the 'me and you' part down, but I never said anything about a bedroom," Sanosuke stated, smirking at her as he made a quick glance in her direction before he turned his attention back to the road, "there are plenty of places we can uh... do this idea of mine." This was followed by a great deal of foxy laughter and... uh... mucho ideas...
Yahiko reached home three hours later, his car going at only twenty miles an hour since the incident earlier that morning, and he hopped out of the seat, slamming the door behind him as he made his way over to the mailbox. It was now officially summer, the time for hanging out with friends, getting a job, getting with girls... Maybe Yahiko thought he would receive a love letter of some sort.
He flung open the door and flipped through the assortment of junk mail and bills, rolling his eyes at all the advertisements inside. Out of nowhere, a letter from China fell into his hands, addressed to him, the sender's address read the name of Tsubame Sanjou. Yahiko's eyes widened at the sight of her name and he eagerly ripped open the envelope to read whatever she had sent him.
Tsubame had left Japan in the summer, traveling with her mom all over Europe and Asia; this was the first time Yahiko had heard from her since the party at Saito's. His eyes scanned over the letter, her cursive writing clear and precise, and Yahiko had no trouble at all reading what it said.
Dear Yahiko,
Hey, it's Tsubame! I hope you still remember me because I still remember you. I tried calling you at your house a few times, but I always ended up speaking to your grandfather since you were never there when I called. Oh and could you please tell him that I will make sure that I watch Cats on Broadway? He insisted that I go. Anyways, I hope all is well over there and I just wanted to let you know that I'll be coming back to Tokyo in about a month! I can't wait to see you! Until then! XOXO
Love,
Tsubame
P.S. I'll try and call you again soon!
After reading the letter, Yahiko re-read the last sentence again, making sure that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him and sure enough, it said that she was coming back to Tokyo.
Yahiko slowly closed his eyes, remembering her sweet face and smile, then he looked back at the letter again, reading the P.S. message over, and his face grew grim as he heard the phone ring from inside the house.
'Shit! It's Tsubame! It's Tsubame!' Yahiko thought and he darted over to the front door, throwing it open so fast the hinges creaked, and he raced over to the phone. Picking it up off the receiver, he quickly brought it up to his ear, but instead ended up aiming a little to the left and poking himself in the eye with the antennae to answer it. "OW!"
"Uh, h... hello?" Yahiko answered the phone, almost dropping it in his rush to bring it up to his ear, but he quickly grabbed at it before it hit the ground. His heavy breathing came out in short wheezes as he struggled to speak clearly and he repeated himself in a calmer tone. "Hello?"
"Yahiko? Is that you?" Tsubame asked on the other line and Yahiko's face brightened to the point that it looked like he was about to explode as soon as he heard her voice, "It's me, Tsubame!"
"Tsubame, hey! Yeah, it's me! Uh, I was just thinkin' about you. I knew it was you, Tsubame, I recognized your voice," Yahiko said, holding onto his heart that was still racing from the mad dash he had just made from outside or maybe it was just his excitement for hearing from her. "How are you?"
"I'm great! Were you really thinking about me?" Tsubame asked, smiling as she twirled the phone wire around her finger, "'cause I'm coming over there to visit you in about a month! Isn't that great?!"
"Yeah, it is! I... uh... was actually really surprised that you called," Yahiko said, "I mean, I didn't think you'd even remember me..."
"Well, of course I remember you! Who could forget your little escapade on the internet?!" Tsubame exclaimed, making Yahiko's smile falter at the mention of his splat attack, "In fact, I was kinda thinking that maybe you had forgotten all about me! I mean, there's no way I was gonna forget someone like you, you sexy boy! In a month, I'll be able to see you again and I hope you'll be ready for me when I get back to Tokyo, Yahiko!"
Yahiko's face became expressionless and he almost dropped the phone at her last comment. His brain grew into a giant glob of images of Tsubame, the girl he had been pawning over for the last year and a half since their time as seniors at Jinchuu.
'Be ready...?' Yahiko thought after they both exchanged good-byes and farewells, his hand slowly losing it's ability to lift up any amount of weight as the phone slid from his palm and fell to the floor. The batteries fell out in the process, but Yahiko wouldn't have even noticed if the phone had been shoved up his ass. His entire mind was boggled at the very thought of seeing Tsubame again and what exactly she had in mind to do with him was more than his idea of heavenly bliss. He could feel the hard-on coming already. He unconsciously slid down the nearby wall until he was sitting on the ground, his eyes focused on no particular thing at all when he finally snapped out of it.
With Tsubame coming back, he had about a month to get ready for her. Tsubame was going to be expecting a lot from him and he didn't even have the slightest idea of how to unhook a bra. Biting down on his lip, Yahiko wandered off into his older brother, Yutaro's room to use his computer, but he tripped over something left carelessly on the floor.
"Jesus! Is the whole world out to hurt me or something?!" Yahiko shouted out into the air and as if it was all planned out, a baseball flew in from the window and hit him right between the eyes, leaving a big red circle on his forehead from the impact. "Great, just great..." Yahiko murmured with a nod, peeling the baseball of his forehead in the process, "Yeah, thanks a lot... Now what the hell did I trip on?"
Yahiko rubbed the sore spot on his forehead and turned around to find his brother's scrapbook on the floor. Curiously, he took the book into his lap, flipping through the pages until he landed on one particular page the caught his attention. His eyes widened as the perfect idea popped into his head and he frantically grabbed for the phone, dialing Sanosuke's number without even looking at the buttons.
He brought the phone to his ear and waited. The phone rang for about ten minutes, but still no one picked up.
"Shit, Sano, quit messing around with your girlfriend and answer your god damn phone!" Yahiko yelled into the receiver, grumbling curses under his breath as he hung up and dialed his other friend, Kenshin's, phone number and brought the phone back to his ear.
"Hello?" Kenshin answered, rubbing his eyes as he yawned, having just woken up from his afternoon nap, "Oh, Yahiko, how are you?"
"Kenshin, I've got the perfect idea for how to spend our summer! It's perfect!" Yahiko exclaimed, gripping the phone so hard his hands turned white, "We're going to Lake Biwa!"
A/N: First chapter's up! Woohoo! Okay, well, I know that Tsubame is being way OOC right now but she was like this in the first one too. BTW, this story is gonna have a lot more of my original input than the first one did. It has a few more twists that I think will make the plot a little more interesting. And yeah! Aoshi's in this one! I dunno if you think that's good or bad, but lemme know if you liked this chapter! Come on, it's not that hard to push a button!
