Aghh! I love you guys! Thanks to everyone for reviewing! You are all sooo uber-cool!

Shinta is Kenshin, but Kenshin was only Shinta till he was 9, then he changed his name. I like the name Shinta though, and it goes nicely with Sanosuke…S&S…hehehe

Sorry it took so long! I've been reading an Ann rice novel, and its to good to put down.

On to the show!

Me no own, you no sue….

By the time Saturday came around, Sano's life was to hectic to focus on Shinta. It wasn't till that Sunday at work -he worked full time on weekends- did he remember.

He was sitting in a little café across the street for the towering glass building he worked in. Sano was staring aimlessly into a cup of coffee, nibbling on a cheese sandwich, when a teenager from the middle school around the corner came in. He had long hair, and was rather short. The kid ordered a cup of milk and a cookie and sat munching away happily, till his friend came bounding up to the window. Then the child got up and walked out, leaving his money on the table.

All Sano did was sit there wondering to himself why he had forgotten about him, probably looking like a complete idiot with his mouth hanging open.

He had called work and told them he was taking off for the rest of the day. Nobody thankfully asked questions, and if they were going to, Sano's phone was cracking up, so he wouldn't have heard.

Something though had propelled Sanosuke to go see Shinta for the THIRD time. Sano wasn't the real kind of guy to walk up to any guy any old day and just make friends with people. I guess you could say he was shy, in an outgoing way. But, as I said, something told him that he was going to need Shinta later on some time. Sano knew Shinta from somewhere…

He did the same thing the first time. Pass, room 620, saying hello to everyone he knew on the way. Sanosuke peeped through the window of room 620, and thankfully, our little Shinta was laying in the bed. He seemed to be partially awake. Sano entered quietly and walked slowly to Shinta. Sanosuke began to speak quietly.

"Shinta? You awake?" He put his hand on the woozy red-head's. All Shinta did was moan a bit and jostle his head around.

" Uhh.. Well, I'm going to talk even if you can't hear me. Shinta, I know you from somewhere. My name is Sanosuke Sagara, and I saw you in this room Monday afternoon. I hope someone read the note I gave you."

"Sano…hmmm" Shinta spoke up a bit, "Paper…"

"You want to say something?" Sano took out a piece of paper and a pen. Shinta tried to prop himself up, but Sanosuke quickly stopped him.

" Whoa, dude. It's way to soon for you to be up." But all Shinta did was grimace in pain and sit up even more. He's a tough one… Sano handed him the paper and pen without a complaint and Shinta scribbled slowly on the paper. His handwriting was barely legible, and though Sanosuke read all types of doctors handwriting- which if you've ever had a prescription you know it is impossible to read- this was even tough for him to interpret. Despite those little problems though, he read the letter out loud.

"No…I did not…egh…hear the letter..?" And Shinta gave a solemn nod and smiled.

"Okay…I'm guessing you want me to read it to you…" Sano picked up the note and began to read:

"Dear Shinta,

I stopped by while you were in surgery. I'd like to talk to you once you're awake. My number is 308-2770."

The conversation'll be posted on chapter 3! Just hang with me!
