Part two
Sanosuke slid closed the wooden door behind him and lazily sat himself
on the floor of the clinic's waiting room. He looked out the window
where rays of yellow and orange were passing through the small frame.
Almost sundown, and there were still a few patients left. Megumi will
be finished with her task soon.
"Think I have to wait a little longer"
Ever since he came home from Kyoto with the Kenshin-gumi, Sano always
made it a point that Megumi was fetched from the clinic for reasons he
doesn't even know and cannot explain. The fight with Shishio and his
Ten Swords was a rough one, the lady doctor knew this well. That is
why when they came back---
They...? us... Does it mean she's also happy to see me? Sano's heart
hammered audibly inside his chest. He knocked his fists to his head,
hiding the pink glow on his cheeks. What are you thinking you idiot?
Megumi was never glad to see you! And she never will be!
"Besides, lil' old foxlady was happy to see Kenshin---not me." He must
have said it too loud because every person in the room looked at him
as if he were mad.
"Eh, sorry..." Sano quickly stood up and walked out of the room, his
face flushed from embarrassment.
What the hell is happening to me? Why had he been thinking too much
of Megumi anyway? And since when did he care about what she was
feeling?
He closed his eyes and tried to push away those crazy thoughts, but
the image of the beautiful and young lady doctor filled his mind. How
her long black hair fell gracefully on her shoulders and reached down
to her small waist. He longed to run his fingers through that soft,
ebony mass of silk and smell the sweet scent emanating from every
strand. And her lips that was always curved into a luscious smile, her
adorable red lips--how he ached to touch and brush them with his own,
to taste her, to feel her... Megumi A wave of warm sensuous feeling
engulfed him, wrapping him close. Sano smiled inwardly. Why does it
feel kind of nice though...?
"Hey Sano!" A booming voice interrupted his thoughts. He was
suddenly irritated. Sanosuke opened one eye and saw a hand waving in
front of his face.
"Oi! Roosterhead, wake up!" Yahiko was about to strike him with his
bokken on the head; if not for his quick reflexes, he would have
gotten a good-sized lump on the head. Fortunately, he was able to
dodge the attack.
"What do you want Yahiko-CHAN?" Sano addressed him in a cool, mocking
tone. The younger boy's eyes narrowed.
"Don't call me that!" Yahiko snapped, threatening to hit Sano again
with his wooden sword. Sano could only smirk teasingly at the boy.
Just then, a horrifying scream of a woman was heard from inside the
clinic.
"It's Kaoru!" Yahiko jumped in alarm. The two friends rushed back into
the clinic. Only to find an anxious Kaoru kneeling on the floor with
Megumi on her lap. The young doctor was unconscious. Sanosuke
hurriedly went to her side.
"Megumi! Megumi, wake up!" He was shaking and slapping her pale cheeks
but Megumi gave no response. She just lay there as if she were dead.
"Kaoru, what happened?" he asked the teary-eyed girl in front of him.
He tried to sound as calm as possible but his voice gave in, Sano was
near to tears.
"I... I really don't know. The minute I got here, we started talking
when... when suddenly Megumi..." Kaoru looked down at her, "she just
fainted and fell on the floor... Oh, gods..." The girl started
sobbing.
"Yahiko!" Sano commanded the shocked boy standing at the doorway, his
voice harsh, "Go get Doctor Genzi! And HURRY!"
It took him quite some time to absorb what he was told but Yahiko
immediately came back to focus at what was at hand. He ran as fast as
he could.
Sanosuke then shifted his gaze towards the unmoving girl. With one
swift move, he carried her to a nearby futon and held her hand as she
lay there.
"Megumi, please, open your eyes. Wake up. Megumi..." he tried, again
and again. Sanosuke choked down a sob. "Megumi...!"
