I do not own Rurouni Kenshin
Seven
Megumi felt like going up to Sano and slapping him across the face for what he did
but then had to get a hold of herself. The thought of what happened the last time
she'd let her anger get the better of her was still too fresh in her mind. Then
unexpectedly inspiration took hold in her mind and she knew exactly how to pay him
back for his deception.
Sano sneaked a look at Megumi not wanting to alarm Keiko and saw the moment her
attitude changed from anger to enthusiasm. Something told him that he is going to
come to hate that look and felt a little dread as Megumi finally got over her initial
shock at seeing him and continued on her way towards their table. Hoping she's not
dumb enough to cause a scene he quickly looked down at his menu and tried to
relax. Since anyway, this is his first date with Keiko and he wanted to make a good
impression on her.
Megumi slowed her pace to try and gather her thoughts and think of the best way
to proceed with her new plan. She wanted to laugh out loud at her own ingenuity
but kept a straight face not wanting to give herself away.
"Hello, Sanosuke," she said warmly as soon as she made it to the table and flashed
Sano one of her best smiles. She then looked at his date and gave her a sweet
smile as well which she returned with a quizzical expression.
"Sano, you know her?" Keiko asked as if Megumi wasn't even there. For a moment
Megumi's happy expression faltered but she quickly recovered and answered her
before Sano had a chance to.
"Of course we know each other, we go to the same school and since anyway, I see
him around here all the time. Isn't that right Sano?" Both girls looked at Sano for
an answer.
"We go to the same school yes, but I don't believe I've ever seen you here before,
otherwise I would never have brought my date to this place," Sano replied coldly
giving Megumi a dirty look.
Keiko looked at Megumi and gave her a pitiful smile as if Megumi was inferior to
her and turned her attention back to the menu, thinking the conversation has come
to a close. Megumi felt like punching the two occupants of the table right in their
snobby faces but she quickly told herself that she has plenty of time to get them
back.
"Sano," she continued still being on familiar terms with him and ignored the amused
look Keiko sent his way. "Is it going to be the usual?"
"What are you talking about?" Sano asked impatiently as he looked down at her
even though she was taller than him standing up.
"Can you please stop trying to pretend to know my date? If you think he'd give you
the time of day, go look in the mirror.I think they have one in the washroom here
right?" Keiko said meanly as she began to look around for the manager wanting to
have a new waiter.
"Hmm, this is how they always start out huh?" Megumi asked Sano as if Keiko
weren't even there.
"Excuse me?"
"What I don't get is, you have such potential, why do you always lower your
standards and go for these sluts who think they know everything?" Megumi
continued as if Keiko haven't opened her ugly mouth and when she saw her about to
say something vicious back quickly went on, "I mean I know you're just amusing
yourself with them but can't you find girls who are more respectable?"
"What did you say?" Keiko exploded causing several people to look their way. Sano
gave her a silencing look before turning back to Megumi.
"I have no idea what the hell you're talking about, all you need to do is get our
orders and leave. That's what I'm paying you for and would appreciate it if you
just do what you're supposed to."
"Tsk, tsk.what bad manners, but I guess that's understandable considering the
way I messed up your last date last week. But she did look funny in that ugly
orange dress." Megumi lied and felt like smiling when she saw Keiko's expression
turn from one of anger to one of interest.
"What date last week?" Keiko asked confusingly, not so sure anymore if the girl
was putting on an act.
"Keiko, don't believe-."
"I still can't believe you're still mad at me.and I thought you'd get over it by now.
And since anyway, I think you should thank me instead, I mean her two weeks were
up already and you have to admit that one would have been hard to get rid of if not
for me."
Sano felt his anger raising as he realized what Megumi was up to and he knew that
it was working if Keiko's face is anything to judge by. He'd never realized what a
good liar Megumi was and a real bitch at that too. "If you don't take our orders
and leave I'm going to call the manager over." Sano warned giving Megumi a
threatening look.
"Okay, okay fine.gosh.don't have to get all upset. It's not like I told her your
little game or something." Megumi said then quickly masked her face in horror as
she covered her mouth as if she'd just said something she shouldn't have.
"What game?" Keiko asked standing up now as Megumi tried to back away.
"Keiko."
"No, let her talk."
"But it's just bull shit." Sano said with frustration as he got up too and looked
around for another waiter.
"Let me be a judge of that," Keiko replied not taking her eyes away from Megumi.
"Tell me, what game?"
Megumi faked an apologetic look Sano's way and was rewarded with a glare. "Trust
me I really didn't mean to say that, me and my big mouth. This is why Sano is so
mad at me, last time I accidentally told his date the same thing."
"What thing?" Keiko asked tightening her hold on Megumi's arm making her wince a
little.
"Keiko, are you going to take her word against mine?" Sano asked incredulously
then deciding that he won't take anymore of this went off in search of the
manager since he can't seem to find him anywhere. He knew that if he tried to pull
Keiko away and leave the restaurant, she'd only come back later to talk to Megumi
and who knows what lies Megumi will tell her.
Keiko watched Sano stalking off in search of something but turned her gaze back
to Megumi. "Tell me," she repeated as she squeezed tighter.
"Ow, okay."Megumi said then pulled her arm away rubbing the sore spot. "You know
Sano's a rich boy right? Well rich boys get bored fast and when they do they think
up of stupid games to play. I told him not to play his game, that it'll backfire on
him but he won't listen, that fool." When Keiko tried to grab her again to make her
explain, Megumi moved out of the way and continued hurriedly, "He just has this
dumb game where he would try to get a girl and see if he could wrap her around his
finger. He gives himself two weeks to do it and once he's accomplished his goal he
dumps the poor girl to find a new 'toy' as he'd put it. He doesn't like keeping a girl
for longer than that because he thinks that after two weeks they start 'following
him around like dogs' and he already has enough servants who do that." Megumi
finished and almost laughed out loud when she saw Sano's date's face crumble with
anger. "Oh come on, like as if you don't know he's a player, what rich guy isn't?"
Keiko couldn't answer the question as every thing in front of her eyes turned a
crimson red. She can't believe that Sano had fooled her so easily, of course she
didn't expect him to be serious because neither was she. But she never expected
him to be such an asshole, even she had her limits but apparently he doesn't have
any at all, if what this girl was telling her was true. Keiko looked at the girl over
and decided that she couldn't be that good of an actress, no one that ugly could
pull of an act like that. She looked up when she saw Sano's figure coming up to
them followed by another man.
"What's going on here?" Pierre asked with concern looking over at Megumi, who
gave him an apologetic smile.
"Nothing, I was just leaving," Keiko replied with a cold smile as she took her bag
and walked by them.
"Keiko wait," Sano called out as he followed her and grabbed her arm to stop her.
Without warning she took a wine glass from a nearby table and threw it's contents
all over Sano's new light blue suit.
Sano let go of her arm and jumped back but was too late. He spread his arms out
and looked down at his clothes, which now has a big red stain on it, with wine
running down his pants. He glanced up at Keiko and the next thing he knew she
threw her hand back and backslapped him. "And this is for all the girls you've hurt
in the past. Go to hell jerk." She turned and walked out of the door leaving Sano
standing there looking like a joke.
Sano feeling his anger raising turned around and looked right at Megumi, fire
blazing in his eyes.
"You've done it now, ma cherie," Pierre whispered in French to Megumi gently as he
took the situation in quickly.
"He deserved it," Megumi replied back in his native tongue as she lifted her chin up
a notch telling Sano she's not afraid of his anger.

Kaoru stared in surprise as the servants carried out one pail after another full of
water. "What, don't you have a hose?" She asked skeptically staring at Kenshin,
who kept smiling ever since she'd agreed to clean his dumb car.
"Nah, I'm scared it might scratch the car," Kenshin replied lamely as his smile
grew wider.
"Yeah, I'm sure the hose is a real dangerous thing.make sure to keep the kids
away from it," Kaoru returned sarcastically. She rolled her eyes and for the first
time in her life prayed that someone up there would give her patience or she might
just go kill Kenshin if she has to look at that smiling face of his again.
"Master Himura, all the buckets have been filled out," Kenshin's butler announced
once the last pail has been placed in front of Kaoru.
"Very good, thank you Jeffers you may go now." He waited until Jeffers has closed
the front door before turning back to Kaoru. "Okay you may start now," he said
then made his way to the front steps and sat down in one of the seats on the
porch. He grabbed for the lemonade glass on the side table that had been placed
there for him and took a long sip, never truly appreciating the view that his porch
provided him until that day.
Kaoru gave one last foul look at Kenshin before turning her gaze back to the car
that was supposedly dirty-it had even less dirt on it then she did. Kaoru gave off a
deep, regretful sigh before taking the sponge in one of the buckets and began to
work.
2 hours later.
Kaoru looked down at Megumi's dress and groaned in despair, it was ruined beyond
recognition, the hem of the dress was torn in some places and big ugly blots of dirt
and soap decorated it a horrible brown. It didn't really bother her that she'd
ruined one of Megumi's best dresses because she could always pay her back but it
was the fact that her dress was now a transparent blue that really ticked her off.
Kenshin probably have a pretty good picture of what she's wearing underneath and
hated him for it. I'll get you back you bastard, she thought angrily in her mind.
She'd been cleaning his car for the last two hours and every time she announced
she was done he was always able to spot new dirty areas on his car that are non-
existent.
Kenshin had never expected to have so much fun at his dad's little get together
party and felt kind of sad that it would have to end soon. For the last two hours he
had Kaoru slaving over his car and it was the best car wash anyone has ever done
for him. He wanted to laugh out loud sometimes when she lost her footing and fell
to the ground. She had the most adorable expression on her face that makes him
almost want to let her off the hook-almost. At first it was all fun and game but as
her dress became more and more transparent before his eyes, he found himself
staring intensely at her longer. What guy in his right mind wouldn't enjoy seeing
what he's been seeing for the past two hours, but somehow that explanation
sounded lame to his ears.
"Hey, I'm done," Kaoru yelled as she stretched her back backwards trying to get
rid of the ache there. Kenshin had to look away until she was done before turning
back to stare at her again. He has never realized what a figure she had or how
truly good looking she was and felt kind of disappointed that they haven't met on
friendlier terms.
"Are you sure?" Kenshin asked as he finally got up from his seat and walked over to
her. "Hmm, let me see how well you did." Kenshin walked around his car completely
satisfied with every thing he saw but somehow didn't want this to end. Something
inside of him wanted this moment to last forever but knowing that it won't happen
decided to settle for something less. "Actually you missed a spot here," He told
her pointing to some imaginary place, knowing that it was a lie.
"Oh you're right I did miss a spot," Kaoru exclaimed happily as he twisted around
to look at her. "I completely forgot about that one." She calmly soaked the sponge
then walked up to him and threw it in his face.
Kenshin pulled back as hit him squarely in the face before falling to the ground
with a plop. He shook his head now full of water and looked at her in surprise.
"That was a very stupid move," Kenshin said silkily as he walked over to one of the
pails, lifted it up and threw its contents at Kaoru even as she was running squealing
with laughter.
"Ahh," Kaoru yelled as the cold water hit her back and drenched her even more
than before. "Two can play that," She screamed as she grabbed another bucket
and threw the water all over Kenshin.
"DAMN THAT'S SO COLD," Kenshin yelled with laughter as he chased after her
around the car.
"Ow, I'm getting a cramp," Kaoru complained as she grabbed her side but didn't
stop running.
"Then stop running!"
"Yeah, so you can catch me? I think not." Kaoru was running so fast she didn't see
the sponge laying on the ground and felt her foot give way underneath her.
"Kaoru!!," Kenshin called out and tried to grab onto her but he couldn't keep his
balance and they both fell, Kenshin on the bottom and Kaoru on top of him.
Kenshin groaned as they hit the ground but he held onto Kaoru so that she won't
fall off and get hurt. When the impact of the fall finally passed Kenshin looked at
Kaoru in concern. "Are you okay?" He asked as he unconsciously rubbed her arms.
Kaoru couldn't speak-she has never been so close to any guy before, this was the
first time that any male outside of her family has held her like this and looking into
Kenshin's eyes made her stomach do a flip-flop. They stared at each other, neither
making a move when Kaoru suddenly pushed herself up. Kenshin reluctantly let her
go liking the feel of her body on top of him.
When Kenshin finally got up Kaoru pushed him as hard as she can right back down.
"What the-." Kenshin shouted as his butt hit the ground hard.
"If you ever tell anyone about this I'm going to kill you," Kaoru whispered furiously
then turned around and ran off in the other direction in search of her dad.
Kenshin felt a smile creeping across his face, then it turned into a low chuckle then
finally, he fell backwards roaring with laughter as he clutched his stomach. When
his bout of humor finally subsided he sat back up again and looked down at his now
drenched clothes. Then he looked up at the place where Kaoru disappeared and felt
another smile spreading across his face. "Well dad, I guess your plan worked after
all," Kenshin whispered softly.
