Part One
Sanosuke watched her as she diligently cures a wounded patient. She
could feel his intent eyes observing her every move, every twitch of
her eyebrows, every shrug of her shoulders, every sigh she would
heave, every focus of her attention, and everything that she would do.
This made her quite uneasy. Megumi prayed he'd go away, he was
distracting her, but he remained still---crouching at the wooden door
with his arms crossed. Sano's presence started to annoy her, but the
young doctor kept her calm.
"Aren't you supposed to be somewhere else, Sanosuke?" she asked quite
sarcastically.
"Nope, not today." came the almost mocking reply.
Megumi sighed. He's so stubborn! I wonder how people keep up with
this attitude of his? The fact that he has been watching all
afternoon her ticked her off, what more could his ridiculous behavior
can do? It irritated Megumi so much that it almost broke her
concentration on treating the wound of her patient.
"What do you want anyway? You've been standing there for hours, aren't
you a bit tired?" Megumi snapped in annoyance.
The patient stood up and thanked his doctor. Megumi bowed politely in
return. After a while, she removed her surgical cap and brushed some
of her hair away from her face. She glanced at Sano, who was still
standing on the doorway, and noticed the twinkle in his eyes. Megumi
ignored him wearied.
Sano sauntered slowly towards her, smirking maliciously. That
chickenhead! What is his damn problem this time?! She couldn't stand
his annoying manners and "tough-guy" attitude. Why can't he just grow
up?
"Look here you chicken-head---"
"You look tired foxy, why don't you rest for a while?" His remark
surprised her. It was very unexpected. For a minute he thought of him
as an irksome, immature brat but now, the look of sincerest concern
was written all over his face. Megumi's eyes softened, she smiled.
"Iie, I'm okay Sano, arigatou. There are still a lot of patients I
need to attend to and some errands to do. Maybe later, I'll get some
rest."
Sanosuke hesitated for a moment, but then, trusting her words, he gave
in.
"Okay." He turned towards the door and slowly walked away. "I'll be
outside in case you need any help."
This shocked Megumi even more; all she could do was choke a little
"Uh...Sure.."
What could have gotten into that guy? Is it something he ate? Maybe
after she finished checking on her patients, she could convince him to
let her take a look at him.
**END OF PART ONE**
Author's notes:
The final revision of the whole thing. This fic is divided into
several short parts, since this would be a super short story ^_^
