AUTHORS NOTE: ONCE AGAIN I HAVE TO EMPHASIZE THAT I DO NOT OWN RUROUNI KENSHIN OR ANY OF ITS CHARCTERS BECAUSE I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH TO COME UP WITH A BRILLIANT ANIME/MANGA LIKE NABHURO WATSUKI. Well, actually I do own one character in this fan-fic. that would be the bad guy that kidnapped Megumi.yeah I made him up ^_^'

Megumi: -_-' I think anyone with a brain can tell that you don't own RK.

Rebeka-chan: Hey! I'm the writer of the story here. so you'd better watch out Megumi. *evil smile* or I could have some awful things done to you.he he he.

Megumi: o_O ...like what.?

Rebeka-chan: *evil smile* You really want to know.?

Megumi: O_O' .no! .uh. Back to the story now!! Heh heh. ^_^'

Rebeka-chan: -_-' Hey that's my line.

*hello* = thinking

"hello" = talking

And with that... ON WITH THE STORY!!! ^_^

Cry Me A River Ch. 2 By Rebeka-Chan

Sanosuke waited in torture for Kenshin and the others to get back. As he waited he tried to remember exactly how he had gotten into this mess.

*That man. he sure didn't look familiar.but then how did he know me. Wait. what was it that he said? Something about revenge. and his son.* Suddenly Sanosuke vaguely remembered a young man around the age of 22 with dark brown hair and blue eyes. "That's it.!" Sanosuke shouted out loud to the empty dojo.

*That man. he must've been his father. he looks a lot like him. His son was the man I was hired to fight a couple of years ago.* His thoughts trailed off and he was left in confusion once again. *But. then why would he want to kill me? I didn't kill his son.I just beat him and left him there, and I know he didn't die. he was found by a police officer and taken to a clinic. I read in the paper that he started his own business two days after the beating.*

Frustrated by this Sanosuke clenched his fists and teeth. A sharp pain echoed through his entire body, and his face turned from angry confusion to disheartened sadness as he thought of Megumi. *If she were here. then I wouldn't care about any of this. It wouldn't matter if I had lost the fight and he had gotten away. I. just hope she's alright.*

Sanosuke was so lost in his thinking that he hadn't heard the dojo door open and shut. Kaoru and Kenshin were laughing as Yahiko got angrier and angrier about the conversation they were having. Kaoru's voice was loud and girlish.

"You have to admit, Yahiko-chan that was pretty funny what that monkey did to you!" Yahiko growled loudly. "It wasn't funny at all! It was disgusting! .And don't call me CHAN!!"

Kaoru continued laughing until they walked into the dojo. Sanosuke breathed heavily and was too weak to look up or speak, so his head hung. Kaoru gasped and took a step back at what she saw. Sanosuke was tied tightly to a chair and he had bruises and cuts all over him. Blood consumed his wounded shoulder and his whole right arm was stained red from blood. Kenshin was the first to speak and his voice trembled. "Sano.what happened to you..!"

Without stopping to think, Yahiko ran over to Sanosuke and quickly untied the rope that bound him to the chair. Kenshin ran over and used his sword to cut some of the really tight knots. Kaoru ran to the cabinet to find bandages for his wound. Kaoru began to wrap his shoulder and she noticed Sano flinching when she touched the wound. *It's still fresh.* Kaoru thought to herself. *The wound's too deep for me to properly fix it.*

"That will have to do for now." She looked over to Kenshin who was intensely studying Sano's cuts and wounds. Kaoru put her hand on Kenshin's shoulder. "We need a doctor. we need to get Megumi."

Sano flinched at the mention of Megumi. He struggled to speak and cleared his throat. They all looked over waiting for him to say something. He cleared his throat once more and began to speak.

".Megumi.she's.gone."

Kenshin and Kaoru exchanged worried glances. Then Kaoru noticed a small bottle a few feet from the chair Sanosuke was in. She picked it up and studied it. Her eyes grew a little bigger. *This is.that medicinal lotion I asked for from Dr. Gensai!! So. Megumi was already here.?* Kaoru showed the bottle to Sanosuke. "Is this from Megumi? Was she here?"

Kenshin and Yahiko watched Sanosuke and waited. Sano slowly nodded his head and spoke. "She was." He clenched his teeth and furrowed his eyebrows. "It's all my fault." He let his head drop again. Kaoru stood up straight and her mouth gaped open her eyes became wider.

"You mean she's."
