AN: I love my anime on demand. (Strokes cable box.) Yay!!!

Good news! I might actually update Like, Slumber Party. Got a couple of new ideas that I'm itching to use. Like putting them in my new house. (AKA the labyrinth. It's big!) Be afraid. Be very afraid.
BTW, the phychic thing wears off after about a day.

Anywho, here's the fic!

Snow White

Sanosuke gaped while Megumi stuttered, blushing.

"As a friend, I mean, of course." Megumi stated, trying desperately to save the sinking situation.

"Not that I thought." Sanosuke started, then paused. He didn't really want to go there.

They both sat in silence for a while.

"Of course not." She stated, slinking off into the shadows. She would find somewhere else to slink off to. For some reason, the last place that she wanted to be was near him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They both prepared for sleep, on opposite sides of the covert. (AN: But they always seem to find their ways together. heh.)

Somewhere, a little mangy squirrel was playing with yet another syringe, and an apple specifically for a certain foxy doctor.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Megumi awoke, then instinctively felt all around her.

Nothing.

Woah!

And as she sent out a probe, she realized that she couldn't read his thoughts either. Glad that ugly mess was over. There were a couple things that she really didn't want him to know.

Things that she herself didn't really want to know.

The apple tree was in front of her. Nestled in the fork of a tree, perfect and shining red, was the most beautiful apple that she had ever seen.

She stepped towards it, felt it in her hands. It was hard, just the perfect age.

As she took a bite of the soft juicy flesh, she realized that the apple had a strange tinge to it.

This was before she fell into a deep sleep.

Behind her, a squirrel waited for a brown haired teen to take the bait.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"MEGUMI!" Sanosuke cried in his usual loud manner. He hadn't woken up with her by his side this morning. It was a first, and he was kind of disappointed.

Bad thoughts again.

As he crashed into the clearing, he came upon Megumi finally.

She was lying on the ground, her arms crossed on her chest, her face pale and white.

"Megumi?" He said. She didn't stir.

"Oh crap." he muttered, then shook her by the shoulder.

No response.

Something above him cawed.

He looked up. There was the squirrel that had come much to familiar, and it was holding a sign. It said:

THINK SNOW WHITE.

Snow white? Oh right. That was about the princess that ate that apple and fell into a deep sleep. It took a kiss from her prince to wake her up.

Oh crap. That squirrel couldn't mean.

And there was the apple, discarded on the ground, only one bite removed.

He swallowed, than brushed his lips against her cheek. She didn't react.

The squirrel sighed, pulled out a perminant marker, and wrote on the other side of the sign. It then flipped it over and held it out. It said:

ON THE LIPS YOU IDIOT!

The color drained from Sanosuke's face, then red flushed in.

He was going to have to. kiss her?

He might as well get it over with.

He lowered his face to hers, capturing her lips.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Megumi was having a dream.

Incidentally, it was a very good dream.

She was lying on the ground, and for some reason she couldn't move, or open her eyes, though somehow she was aware of all that was going on around her.

She could see Sanosuke in her minds eye, sitting over her. He hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his lips to hers.

As their mouths touched, sensation rushed through her body. She had kissed boys in her time, but none had been like this. She found that she could move again.

She flung her arms around his neck, pulling him down into her further and deepening the kiss. Fire burnt wherever their bodies touched: her arms, her hands, and most of all her lips. She opened her eyes for just a moment, and saw that his were wide open in shock.

It suddenly dawned on her that it wasn't a dream.

She continued the kiss for just a second more, savoring the flavor of his lips, then broke off the kiss. She worked hard to feign disgust.

"What the hell was that?!" She screamed.

He stared at her, still in shock.

"I should be asking you the same question." He managed to stutter. His face was bright red, almost purple. His lips and his necks were burning.

And yet he still couldn't shake off the feeling that that kiss had been the best moment of his teenage life.

She turned pink. What was she supposed to tell him, that she was dreaming about kissing him?

Oh, that was SO much better.

"I was dreaming about kissing Kenshin!" She exclaimed, spurting out he first thing on her mind.

He gave her an odd look. He still could read her mind enough to feel the fear.

It meant she was lying.

Not only that, but the fact that she had looked at him.

So she had to have known that it was him.

And the weird thing is, that was that one second that she kissed him anyways.

He had an odd feeling that she had been dreaming.

And another feeling that it wasn't about Kenshin.

She would never tell him the truth, though. She had too much pride.

Ironically, the same thoughts were running through his head.

AN: Fluffy fluffy fluffy fluff! Yay.

I like my squirrel card man.

(Jimmy holds up a card saying THANKS.)

Fear the haircut karma. Buhahaha!

Don't ask. Just don't. Ria's the only one that's gonna get this.
