Sanosuke was bonding with the tree.
Bang.
Bang.
Ow.
Sanosuke sunk to the ground.
It wasn't freaking working.
Damn it.
He could still hear her, the little Megumi-thought voice inside of his head.
'I can't believe that he thought that.'
Sanosuke flushed pink. The bad thoughts always came at the worst times.
He could vouch for that.
She seemed to have forgotten. She was thinking about what had happened at the tree, how warm Sanosuke's arms had been.
She could feel him blush. This connection thing sure was weird.
And distance didn't really seem to actually make it any better.
The thoughts were still as clear.
He was thinking to her now.
'You can still hear me, right?'
Megumi hesitated. 'Yeah.'
'Listen, I mean concentrate, I mean. whatever. I'm sorry about what I thought about before. It's just.'
The bad thing about communicating through thoughts is that you can't actually STOP.
'.you're really quite beautiful.' Sanosuke blushed. Bad thoughts. Bad thoughts. Bad thoughts.
And she had just heard.
Sanosuke was bright red.
She sighed mentally. 'You're such an idiot, Rooster Head.'
He was angry. He had given her a complement, hadn't he?
'Bitch.'
'Punk.'
'Witch.'
'Loser.'
'Slut.'
Megumi just sighed and looked away.
One tended to find out a lot more about one's mind when it's connected to someone else's.
Like that were two main voices. The main, clear voice, and the little voice that buzzed in the back round.
The backround voice was saying something a little different.
Like how he had been nice to her most of the time.
And how he was kind of sweet-
And cute-
And how he was funny-
And she l-
Megumi looked around, panicking. Whatever thought was coming next was going to be big, and she had the strange feeling that she REALLY didn't want him to hear it.
So she thought loudly about the first thing that came to her mind.
'CHEESE! Cheese is good. I like cheese. Especially brie!' Megumi thought. Concentrate. Just don't think about anything else.
'And goat cheese to! Mmmhm.'
'Are you going crazy Fox, or do you have some strange obsession with dairy products?'
Megumi sighed. The thought was gone, lost in a maze of cheesyness.
There was a rustling in the bushes.
As she watched, Sanosuke came out, a little more scratched than he was previously.
"Damn roses." He said. The sound of a voice made them both jump a little.
He slumped to the ground.
"Listen. Fox. If we're going to talk, we should do it to each other's faces." Sanosuke had picked up a few things he hadn't really wanted to over the last few minutes, including a small blurb about him having a nice chest.
He wasn't really supposed to hear things like that.
And she had suddenly started thinking about cheese.
He really hoped that she didn't actually think like that.
'But if she was trying to cover up something else she was about to think, that would be perfect.'
Megumi panicked a little, showing that he had gotten it right. She felt the thought rise again, and escape before her cheesy defences could capture it.
'I really like him.'
Megumi gaped, turning crimson.
Sanosuke just stared.

Kaoru's eyes slowly flickered open.
Into the face of a red headed boy.
"NOT THE MOOSE!" She cried, lashing out instinctively.
Kenshin caught her hand mid-jab.
"It's alright Kaoru. It's gone now." Kenshin said, his voice soothing.
"You saved me?" Kaoru questioned. That moose had been damn scary.
"Yeah. Kinda." Kenshin started, then stoped. He suddenly realized that their lips were closer together than before.
A lot closer.
And then meeting.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Somewhere in the forest, a moose walked away, satisfied.
AN:That's all I could think of. Sorry about that cliffie with Sano and Megumi. Seemed like a really good place to leave off.
Lawyers: Growl.
