Disclaimers: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.

Chapter 3: Surprises

"You can't do this to me!" Yelled a furious looking Kenshin.

"And why not. I would like to know why you think you have any power over what I have to say." Said a furious Hiko.

"What do you mean, explain myself?"

"Tell me why you shouldn't do this."

"Because I don't know the person. You can't marry me off to the first wench you see," the prince spat.

"OH BUT I CAN AND I WILL!"

"I WON'T GO THROUGH WITH IT!"

"YES, YOU WILL!"

"NO!"

"YOU WILL. I AM SICK OF YOUR 'I WANT MY TRUE LOVE CRAP.' THERE'S NO SUCH THING. THE KINGDOM NEEDS A KING AND QUEEN!"

"THERE IS SUCH THING AS TRUE LOVE!"

"NO THERE ISN'T YOU SISSY BOY!"

"YES!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

"NO. NOW SIT DOWN YOU DELINQUENT BOY!." With the shouting match done, hopefully, the king and prince sat down. Then the king called in one of his servants, and whispered an order into his ear. The servant nodded his head in understanding and left the room to follow the orders. "Now soon you shall meet your bride."

"What if I don't like her?"

"I don't care. You will marry her whether you like it or not?" With these words said a lady enters the room.

"You call for me father?" The woman asked.

"Father? How can she call you father. She is not your child. Unless…no..."

"Ah you understand who she is now."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! SHE IS YOUR ILLEGITIMATE CHILD YOU SICKO!" After the prince said this the woman and king fell to the floor anime style.

"What are you talking about you foolish boy?" The king asked picking himself off the ground.

"Well, since she calls you father, and I know she isn't a daughter of the late queen, there is only one way. She is an illegitimate child."

"No, boy only 1 of 2 is right. Yes she is not a child of the late queen, but she is NOT my illegitimate child."

"Then why…"

"Then why do I call him father" The woman interrupted Kenshin.

"Exactly."

"Kenshin meet; your fiancée' Megumi Takani."

"So you aren't an illegitimate child."

"No." Megumi said, while bonking Kenshin on the head.

"Then why…"

"Then why do I call him father, again with that. Hello he is going to be my father after we marry."

"Ha, there's the key work 'after.'"

"So you will marry her." The king said patting Kenshin on the back in a congratulatory way.

"Over my dead body."

"Oh, come on Sir Ken, you know you want to marry me."

"Says who. I don't even know you."

"So let's talk right now. Get to know each other what you say."

"I say…."

"I say that's a brilliant idea!" Shouted King Hiko. "I'll leave you two alone to talk," and then the king exited the room.

"So Megumi-dono why don't you sit down."

"Why thank you Sir Ken."

"So, what do you do for a living?"

"I'm studying to be a doctor."

"Really?! Do you like being a doctor?"

"Yes. It's great to help people."

"Do you have any siblings?"

"Yes, I have one sister."

"What is her name?"

"Her name is…" But before Megumi could finish speaking, a guard busted into the room.

"Sir. *pant*"

"Yes, what is it Kyosuke?"

"It's *pant* it's *pant, pant*."

"Yes."

"It's your *pant* it's your sister."

"What about my sister?" Kenshin began to worry.

"While she was shopping, she was attacked."
