I do not own Rurouni Kenshin

TWO

"Man, this car is nice," Kenshin complimented admiringly at the interior of

the new silver Porsche. "You've got to lend it to me sometimes."



"Sure, but not on the weekends," Sano replied as he looked ahead of him.



"Hey have you been listening to that new J-pop group?" Sano asked as he

looked at the scenery flying by him.



"Which group?"



"Siam Shade, heard they are getting really popular.getting a lot of

attention."



"Oh that one, I haven't had a chance to are they any good?" Kenshin asked as

he turned the corner.



"Actually-."



Suddenly out of nowhere a car flew out and hit Sano's car sideways.



"Shit!" Sano's cursed when the shock finally began to fade away. He angrily

got out of his car and slammed his door behind him wanting to beat up

whoever had been driving so careless.



Kenshin got out of the car and followed close behind, also angry that the

other driver could have killed them all.



"What the fu.what the hell are you doing here?" Sano suddenly demanded

when he saw that the person who had hit him was Megumi, the one person he

didn't want to see.



Megumi got out from the front passenger's side of the car and felt like

screaming her head off when she saw that it was Sano. "Of all the

insufferable people I have to meet why does it have to be you?" She yelled

throwing daggers at Sano with her eyes.



"Ha, the feeling's mutual!" Sano shot back. "Don't you ever look where you're

going?" He was too absorbed in giving Megumi a piece of his mind that he

didn't see Kaoru coming out of the driver's side of the car silently.



"Apparently the one who needs to get their eyes checked is you, not me!"

Megumi shouted back.



"You should talk, at least I'm not the one wearing the glasses that are so

thick people could only come within five meters of me!" Sano taunted causing

Megumi's face to turn a dark shade of pink.



"You are so snob."



"You are such a gee."



"YOU GUYS SHUT UP!" Kenshin and Kaoru suddenly yelled out at the same

time, interrupting Sano and Megumi's little verbal quarrel.



Kenshin looked at Kaoru then turned to Sano before saying, "Come on, let's

just go."



"You think you can get away that easily?" Megumi asked and was going to

take a step towards Sano but Kaoru quickly held her back.



"Megu-."



"No, let me handle this," Megumi whispered furiously all the while giving Sano

dirty looks.

"What are you talking about? You're the one who bumped into us," Sano

stated incredulously looking at Megumi like as if she was from another

planet.



"Ha! Do you really think we're that stupid?" Megumi had been snoozing when

the accident took place but she knew that Sano's was at fault and as always

was trying to get out of trouble by blaming it on other people, so typical of

his arrogant self.



"Meg-."



"I said let me handle it," Megumi told Kaoru again without looking at her.



"If you were a guy, I'd punch you out right now!" Sano bellowed feeling a

headache was coming on.



"As if being a girl had ever stopped you before!" Megumi said daringly with

her chin tilted upwards.



"What did you say?" Kenshin scared that Sano might really slap Megumi

quickly pulled him back and gave him a warning look.



"Come on, let's go.the damage is not that bad we can fix it later." Kenshin

tried to comfort him but Sano didn't seem to hear.



After a while of intense silence Sano suddenly broke free of Kenshin's grasp

and walked slowly up to Megumi. "You know what? Kenshin's right that bump

is nothing that I can't afford. But I can't say the same for your pathetic

little car. Here, this should be enough to get you an even nicer car. In the

end it's what you wanted right, my money? Well here it is and it's all yours,"

Sano said politely worrying Kenshin even more. Then suddenly he threw the

money on the ground at Megumi's feet with a leer on his face and went back

to his car. Kenshin not knowing what to do followed Sano and they quickly

left the scene with the screech of the tires.



Megumi just stood there her mouth hanging open not believing what had just

happened. Then without warning she shrieked and kicked the money away.



"I HATE HIM.AND I'D RATHER DIE THEN EVER HELP HIM PASS EVEN

ONE STUPID CLASS!!!!!" she yelled and breathing hard not being able to get

rid of all her anger.



Kaoru just leaned against her car staring calmly at Megumi and waited until

her little burst to temper died down. After a few minutes and Megumi finally

caught her breath again Kaoru said, "Just to let you know, that accident was

my fault."



Megumi slowly looked at her cousin and for once in her life wanted to try out

Kaaru's fighting skills herself. "WHAT? Why didn't you tell me?" She yelled

as her anger started bubbling up again.



"You didn't let me! Every time I tried to tell you, you kept saying that you

could handle it.I overlooked a stop sign, we were the ones who were

supposed to be paying the money not him. It's no wonder he thought we were

gold diggers and did that, if I were in his shoes I'd probably do the same

thing." With that she quietly went back into her car and waited patiently for

Megumi to get over the shock and get in too.

When Megumi finally settled herself back into her seat she asked quietly,

"Was I really that mean?"



"No, just a bitch," Kaoru said bluntly and quickly drove off not bothering to

dispel the embarrassed silence that fell over them.

Megumi looked out the window and wanted to cry. She had never made such a

fool of herself before accusing someone of something they didn't do and for

the first time, she faced a problem she didn't know how to solve.

Kenshin felt like he had to say something but the look on Sano's face

stopped the words in his throat.



"Now I know why I don't date smart girls," Sano said cynically as he pushed

down hard on the pedal, wanting to lose his anger through the car.

"Come on, I don't think she realized that it was their fault!" Kenshin tried to

say and nearly went right through his window as Sano made a sharp turn at

his words.

"Didn't realize.she is supposed to be one of the smartest people in school and

yet she didn't realize it was HER FAULT?" Sano tried to keep his voice calm

but failed miserably.



"But you still shouldn't have thrown the money at her like that," Kenshin

criticized.

"Haha." Sano laughed mirthlessly; "well in the end that's all she wanted and

I'd be a fool if I just handed it over to her that easily!"

Kenshin sighed heavily and looked out the window at the blurred scenery

that were flying by them not wanting to say anymore. How could he condemn

Sano for his actions when he'd probably do the exact same thing as him if

being placed in the same situation! So he kept his mouth shut and closed his

eyes letting Sano risk their lives with his speeding.
