Chapter 4.
About a week or two later, Megumi came over with one of her new assents Aki, was now staying at the dojo, with her brother Kenshin. They were all gathered in the common room, Kaoru was sitting near Sano and Yahiko, where Aki was sitting next to her brother, who still smiled at her as if he was the happiest man in the world. Just then Megumi, the new doctor that worked with doctor Gensai. She came over and Sano and Yahiko, looked up while Yahiko snickered, Sano started scratching the side of his head, around his ears. Kaoru greeted Megumi warmly. Megumi smiled and replied and then looked over at Kenshin, and grinned. "Ken-san, have you missed me? I've missed you..." Aki, giggled quietly at her brother... 'Ken- san huh?' she gave him a sidelong glance, and chuckled at the look on his face. "Umm, Megumi-dono, I'm sure that we've all missed you. It is good to see you again." Kenshin said, politely.
Megumi's sights then set on Aki, who was looking at Megumi with a friendly smile, 'now, who is this?' She thought, to herself... she was sure she had gotten Kaoru out of the way... but it was pretty obvious what Kaoru thought about Kenshin, but she wasn't very sure if the feeling was mutual. No matter, she would find out who this new girl was, and if she were after Kenshin she would knock her down a couple knocks or two... Kaoru was the first to introduce Aki. "Megumi-san, this is Aki, she's new here," Kaoru turned to Aki "Aki, this is Megumi-san, she works with doctor Gensai. She's a good friend of ours." Aki smiled and nodded her head in a polite way of greetings, she wasn't going to be the first one to talk... no way... this was still WAY too new for her. Megumi, gave Aki a sideways glance, as if examining her, slowly Aki's smile faded and she started to get the feeling that this Megumi, lady did not like her much... "I see," she went over to Kenshin and pulled him to her in a very affectionate way.
"Oh, Ken-san, I was so certain that you would choose me over a small... well everything child. Wouldn't you Ken-san?" Aki, bit her lower lip and looked down... she was only trying to be friendly with Megumi, so why was she bashing her and putting her down so? She didn't get it. Kenshin and Kaoru caught Aki's reaction. Kaoru glared at Megumi, "For you information Megumi-san-" she was shortly cut off by Kenshin's clipped voice saying "Megumi-dono, I would appreciate you to be a bit nicer to my sister. She is still very new around here, and may not know that you are only joking." Megumi stopped dead in her tracks, 'his what?!' She looked at Kenshin, and went on, "Oh, Ken-san, I'm sorry, I had no idea... forgive me Ken-san?" That's when Sano decided to take a bit of the bait, "Look, we all may not have a cunning kitsune (fox) mind like some foxy doctors around here..." With that he looked at Megumi, who shot him a glare. Sano ignored her glare and turned to Aki, "Hey, pay her no mind, she's just a cunning Kitsune, that's after what she's wants, and to yank on some chains that's all... don't let her get to you."
