I do not own Rurouni Kenshin
EIGHT
Sano opened the front door quietly hoping that he won't make too much noise and
alert his parents. He almost made to the stairs when suddenly the door to the
library opened and his dad walked out. The greeting froze on his lips when he saw
the big ugly stain on Sano's clothes. "What happened to you?" His dad roared with
anger.
His mom suddenly appeared behind his dad and seeing the red stain, went deadly
white. "Oh my god, Sanosuke are you hurt?" She shrieked as she ran past her
husband towards her son.
"Mom, I'm okay," Sano said soothingly as he tried to comfort his mom. "It's just
red wine, not blood." When Mrs. Sagara has finally convinced herself that her son
was fine and unharmed she smacked him lightly across the arm.
"Ow, mom what's that for?" Sano complained as he rubbed his arm.
"That's for scaring your mother out of her mind," she replied. "For a minute I
thought you were hurt and the red stain looking like blood."
Knowing that if his mom keeps talking she is going to become emotional and start
crying so he quickly said, "Hey let me go upstairs and take a shower to wash away
the smell." Sano suggested knowing he reeks of alcohol.
"Yes, that's a good idea, go and take off that dreadful outfit. If I have to keep on
looking at it, I think I'm going to faint," his mom chimed in before ushering him up
the stairs. "And leave it on your bed and I'll have someone come up to fetch it and
see what can be done about the stain." His mom called after him as an
afterthought.
* *
Sano was just walking out of his bathroom when someone knocked on the door.
Knowing that it was his dad, he went over and opened it without asking who it was.
"Hey dad, what's up?" He asked casually wanting to delay the confrontation for as
long as possible.
"You know why I'm up here," his dad answered sternly but Sano knew that deep
down his dad was still worried about him.
"Aw, come on. it's nothing important."
"You came home looking like someone had blown a whole through your chest, ruined
your new suit, and scared your mom half to death and you say it's nothing
important? Now I want to know who did this to you and I'll make sure he pays for
it."
"Trust me, it was just an accident. A family was in the restaurant I brought my
date to and their kid was messing around. He accidentally tripped the waiter and
the red wine got dumped all over me. No one would dare to mess with your son,"
Sano put in hoping to ease his dad's anger.
His dad looked at him trying to find the answer on his face. As if he was satisfied
with what he saw, he stood up and clasped Sano shoulder. "I just don't want you to
be hurt," He said grudgingly, not a man to revel his feelings well before making his
way towards the door. "By the way Kenshin's here."
"Tell him to come up," Sano replied, happy that he now has someone to take his
anger out on.
Mr. Sagara closed the door and as expected his wife was waiting outside for him.
"What did he say?" She whispered as they made their way down the stairs.
"That it was an accident."
"And you don't believe him?"
"He's my son, I know when he's lying... I bet she must be special for him to defend
her like that," Mr. Sagara suddenly commented surprising his wife.
"How do you know it's a girl and not a boy?"
"Our son would never stick up for another guy with the exception of Kenshin," he
replied with a slight chuckle, seeing a reflection of himself in his son and feeling
more than a twinge of curiosity for this mysterious girl.
* * *
"I can honestly say that I would like nothing more in this world then to get my
hands around her neck." Sano exclaimed after he told Kenshin what happened.
Kenshin who has been trying so hard to keep in his laughter couldn't help himself
and let out a loud whoop. "What the hell are you laughing about? I'm not the one
who's in love with the she-man," Sano taunted angrily then laughed at Kenshin's
look.
"Hey, I don't make fun of your bimbos so don't make fun of Kaoru." Kenshin
replied, his good humor evaporating as quickly as it came.
"At least I know what sex they were when I first saw them," Sano shot back and
realizing he had gone too far quickly placed his hands up in surrender. He could tell
that Kenshin was really pissed now so decided to change the subject. "So what are
you planning to do to get her?"
"I'm not sure, considering the way she dresses I doubt she's had many pursuers.
She might freak if she knows I'm interested," Kenshin said frustratingly. He'd
been thinking about this problem all day and still couldn't find an answer to his
dilemma. From the way she'd acted when she was laying on top of him, he knew that
if he were to just come right out and ask her to go out with him, she might end up
kicking his ass in fear.
"Haha, she's got you whipped haven't she?" Sano asked already knowing the
answer. "Man, I hope I'll never be in your shoes," Sano remarked with a shudder
just thinking about it.
Kenshin felt his face flame up and as much as he wanted to defend himself, knew
that Sano spoke the truth. "Hey if you hate Megumi that much why didn't you tell
your dad to get her fired?" He quickly asked turning the topic back to Sano.
"Aw, did you have to remind me? And I was just beginning to get her ugly face out
of my mind." Sano complained avoiding the question all together.
"You're not answering my question."
"I don't know, it's just when my dad asked me I really wanted to give her name
away. God, it'll serve her right for being such a b*tch but..." Sano shrugged his
shoulders to empathize his point.
"But what?" Kenshin encouraged wanting to see Sano squirm.
"Like I said I don't know, somehow I just didn't want to get her fired." Not liking
the answer he gave Kenshin, he walked over to his c.d. case and looked through
them trying to distract himself.
"Don't tell me you like her," Kenshin said incredulously, his eyes growing big.
Sano speedily turned around with a sour look on his face. "Please, I just ate," he
said irritably, "like hell I'd go for her. If me and her were the last people left on
this earth and it's our mission to repopulate earth..."
"I'd rather shoot myself," Megumi yelled angry that her cousin could say
something so nasty. Just thinking that she might have tender feelings for Sano
caused goose bumps to move up her spine.
"Okay, okay... I was just kidding," Kaoru replied as she knocked the pillow coming at
her to the side.
"Well it wasn't very funny." Megumi retorted anger swelling up inside her. Even
after telling Kaoru what happened could not dispel the deep hatred she now feels
for rooster boy, the name she deemed Sano worthy of having. Kaoru was now
forbidden to call him by anything other than that.
Kaoru sighed not understanding why Megumi hates Sano so much. Yeah, he was a
dickhead but he'd never done anything particularly horrible to Megumi and yet she
hates him like as if he'd killed her entire family or something. When she had
walked through the door the first thing she heard was Megumi's little graphic
speech of what she would like to do to him given half the chance, then her
extremely thorough belittling of Sano's character until he was nothing more than
an asshole born into the right family.
"Can we move on now? For all that you hate him, you sure have a lot to say about
the poor guy," Kaoru observed then wished she'd kept her mouth shut as more
pillows flew at her.
"THAT IS NOT FUNNY!" Megumi shrieked then threw herself onto her bed
running out of breath.
"It wasn't meant to be. and since anyway I can't blame him for wanting to get you
fired." Kaoru reasoned.
"You're taking his side?"
"I'm taking no one's side, I'm just saying that you did after all ruin his date not to
mention his expensive clothes," Kaoru pointed out.
"He lied to me first!" Megumi returned indignantly.
"Yeah but still did you have to say all that bullsh*t about him?"
"Well so what if I did? He didn't have to go threaten Pierre that if he doesn't fire
me then he'll tell his dad to bring the restaurant to ruin," Megumi said looking
around for something to throw at her inconsiderate cousin.
"I'm sure he only said it in anger," Kaoru finished before waving her hands to
change the topic. "Talk about something else, I'm tired of arguing."
Megumi was silent for a moment not wanting to end the conversation but the look
on Kaoru's face told her it was out of the question. "How was your day?" When
Kaoru walked into her room looking like a ragged doll dripping wet with water, she
wanted to ask what had happened. But because she was still so mad at rooster boy
she'd attacked Kaoru with verbal insults meant for him.
Kaoru's face turned a crimson red, as she looked at the dress now in a dirty heap
by the door ready for the trashcan. "Nothing happened," she said quickly feeling
embarrassed just thinking about that afternoon and Kenshin.
"Yeah I'm sure my dress got ruined on it's own," Megumi snorted giving Kaoru a
knowing look.
"It was nothing, all that happened was I caught Mr. Himura behind the bush with
some slut going at it like animals. Then we argued and I...
well I slapped him." The gasp coming from Megumi made Kaoru feel even more
embarrassed for what she did but she continued on, "And as for compensation he
made me wash his car." She finished leaving out minor details that will follow her to
her grave if she could help it.
"You caught your dad's boss behind some bush with some girl? What an old
pervert!" Kaoru said with disgust written all over her face.
"It wasn't my dad's boss you idiot, it was his son."
"Well like they say, like father like son. And his son is a pervert, he knows that as
soon as my dress gets water on it, you might as well not wear the dress, much good
it does protecting you." Megumi replied hating all rich men and their sick ways.
"Well guess who the son is," Kaoru said knowing that Megumi will explode once she
finds out.
"Who?"
"No other than our very own Himura Kenshin," Kaoru informed her melodramatically
and almost laughed at the sudden change she saw on Megumi's face.
"I should have known, he can't even have decent friends.but with a personality like
his I doubt he could find true friendship unless it's coming from people who are
equally sick, perverted, and rooster-headed as he is," Megumi replied venomously.
"(Sighs) I thought we were not going to talk about Sa-rooster boy anymore," Kaoru
inquired tryingly her patience at its end.
"Who said I was talking about him, I was talking about Kenshin," Megumi replied
smartly as she stuck her tongue out at Kaoru.
"Hahaha, if you weren't my cousin I think I would have kicked your butt a long time
ago."
"And if you weren't my cousin, I think I would have moved schools a long time ago
too," Megumi answered laughing along with Kaoru both trying to bury the memories
of that day.
* * *
"Why did you have to drag me along?" Kaoru complained as Megumi held firmly onto
her arm and pulled her towards the library.
"Because I'm going to kill him if we're left alone. You don't want to have a murder
weighing on your conscience do you?" Megumi threatened hoping it would shut
Kaoru up.
"I'll take that chance," Kaoru replied sarcastically as she walked into the library
and nearly tripped over her own feet when she saw Kenshin sitting next to Sano
waiting for them.
When Kenshin saw Kaoru coming in, he gave her a big smile, which she returned
with a cold look hoping it would turn him off but instead his smile only got wider.
"Can you stop drooling all over yourself for a minute?" Sano said with disgust
wanting to smack the smirk off Kenshin's face.
"Can't help myself, she's so cute," Kenshin cooed happily as he kept looking at her
with puppy eyes.
"I think I'm going to be sick, hold me while I let out my lunch," Sano said sticking
his finger into his mouth-and nearly falling off his chair as Kenshin pushed him
hard. "Hey, I was just joking," Sano complained as he playfully punches Kenshin.
"Look at him and his ugly face, what the hell do girls see in him?" Megumi
whispered darkly to Kaoru.
"His good looks not to mention his fortune, and oh yeah how could we forget his... "
"Okay I got the point, can't you even recognize a rhetorical question when you hear
one?"
"Sorry, I have a slow wit. Ow!" Kaoru cried out when Megumi punched her hard in
the arm. "Talk about no sense of humor!"
When they finally approached the table a tense silence wrapped itself around the
little group.
Wanting to talk to Kaoru, Kenshin decided to break the quietness. "Hey Kaoru," he
said happily giving her one of his dazzling smiles. She only gave him a dirty look
before looking away again as if he hasn't talked at all. "Well it's nice to see you
too."
Sano bulked watching his friend make a fool of himself and almost wanted to put
him out of his misery by knocking him over with a book or something. But decided
that if Kenshin goes out cold, he'd likely hurt Megumi so he refrained himself.
"Shall we start?" Megumi's annoying voice filled the room as she looked down on
him.
Sano shrugged his shoulders and gave her a bland look knowing that it pisses her
off beyond words.
"You know with that kind of attitude, it doesn't matter how much money your dad
makes because once he gives you all the power, you're going to make his company go
down the drain." Megumi said meanly as she put her books down with a bang.
"Well then I'll just make sure I marry someone really rich so her family can take
care of me," Sano retorted wanting to make Megumi as mad as was humanly
possible.
"You rooster!"
"At least this 'rooster' gets dates unlike someone."
"At least I'll have a bright future unlike someone."
"At least I'll have someone to depend on."
"AT LEAST I CAN MAKE IT IN THE WORLD WITH MY OWN HANDS!"
"AT LEAST I'LL HAVE CHILDREN!" Sano yelled right back as he and Megumi
leaned across the table from one another until they were barely inches apart, their
noses almost touching and their eyes shooting darts at one another and both
running out of breath from yelling so loud.
They were so involved in striking the other with words that they didn't see Kaoru
trying her best to ignore Kenshin while Kenshin was trying his best to get as close
to her as possible. Kaoru, not being able to stand Kenshin anymore took off with
him close on her heels.
"If you keep following me I'm going to kick you where it hurts most, and don't
think I'm bluffing!" Kaoru warned dangerously as she spin around to glare at
Kenshin. Ever since she'd sat down, he had been trying to move his chair close to
her and it was scaring her out of her mind.
"Who said I was following you? You just happen to be going where I want to go,"
Kenshin replied smartly with another stupid grin on his face.
"TO THE GIRL'S BATHROOM?" Kaoru yelled, wanting to get as far away from him
as possible. "I'm only going to tell you this ONCE! If I see you walking behind me
again, I don't care if you just happen to be going to same way or not, I'm going to
kick your ass! And don't think this is just a stupid threat because I am dead
serious!" Kaoru warned before stalking off again. Several people who were still
hanging around in the hallway looked at the couple in amazement.
"KAORU!" Kenshin called out and waited until she turned around before saying,
"You're really cute when you're mad you know that?"
"ARGHHHH!" Kaoru screamed running off as the on lookers started snickering
behind their hands.
Kenshin watched as Kaoru ran out the door and quietly chuckled to himself. "God I
need help, Sano's right she's got me all whipped and we haven't even kissed yet."
He then let out a laugh imagining how Sano would react if he told this to him.

"Who said I was following you? You just happen to be going where I want to go,"
Kenshin replied smartly with another stupid grin on his face.
"TO THE GIRL'S BATHROOM?" Kaoru yelled, wanting to get as far away from him
as possible. "I'm only going to tell you this ONCE! If I see you walking behind me
again, I don't care if you just happen to be going to same way or not, I'm going to
kick your ass! And don't think this is just a stupid threat because I am dead
serious!" Kaoru warned before stalking off again. Several people who were still
hanging around in the hallway looked at the couple in amazement.
"KAORU!" Kenshin called out and waited until she turned around before saying,
"You're really cute when you're mad you know that?"
"ARGHHHH!" Kaoru screamed running off as the on lookers started snickering
behind their hands.
Kenshin watched as Kaoru ran out the door and quietly chuckled to himself. "God I
need help, Sano's right she's got me all whipped and we haven't even kissed yet."
He then let out a laugh imagining how Sano would react if he told this to him.
