It was a bright morning, sunlight poured down upon a sleeping Sano, who yawned and sat up. The birds chirped and the wind rustled the trees. Sano sighed and lay back on his pillow, he was about to go back to sleep when he heard a pounding at his door.

"Sano Wake-Up! You better be decent because im coming in!" A joking voice called from the hallway.

"Who are you kidding, he's never decent!" another voice laughed.

Sano groaned and called back "Just a minute!" The voices laughed as he quickly got ready. When he finally opened his door he barked, "What do you guys want?!"

"I want to make it up to Miss Kaoru by taking all of us out to have beef stew!" Kenshin replied, as a bleary-eyed Sanosuke looked down at him.

"I can't wait!" Yahiko grinned.

"Ok lets go," Sano mumbled as he stumbled out of his room.

It was noon as the foursome (Oo' not that u sick minded people) walked through the crowded market on their way to the beef stew place. They stayed close together so they wouldn't get separated and lost in the bustle. Suddenly Kenshin stopped.

"Please kindly return my purse Miss," he calmly said as a girl stared dumbfounded at him. She quickly snapped out of her shock and bounded off through the crowd. Kenshin started off after her with a yell to meet him at the stew resturant, and Sano followed him.

When he caught up Kenshin had the frightened girl trapped in a dusty allyway. On sight of Sanosuke her eyes widened in reconition then became more frightened. Her back was pushed up against the back wall and her chest was heaving from her run through the market place.

"Calm down, we arent going to hurt you," Kenshin said in a calm voice.

"Really?" she asked glancing from Sanosuke to him then back to Sanosuke, "You mean you arent murderers or rapists? You guys are decent people?"

"Of course we are good people Miss," Kenshin said, shocked.

"Really, truly?"

"Yep"

Then with a satisfied grin she pulled out Kenshin's purse and promptly dropped it in her shirt. "If you want it i dare you to take it," She said with her grin growing wider.

Both Kenshin's and Sano's eyes popped and large sweat bubbles adornded their heads. They glanced at eachother then back at the girl with nervous laughter. Then Sanosuke took a deep breath.

"Im sick of you and i want my beef stew so hand over the purse or im getting it!" Sano barked in an angry voice. She sniffed and looked away.

Sano stormed over to the woman and took a deep breath. "I apoligize in advance, Miss" Then he took his hand and plunged it down the front of her shirt. Her eyes widened in shock and anger.

"HELP HELP! MOLESTERS! SOMEONE HELP ME!" She cried at the top of her lungs as Sano's hand closed on the purse. Sano felt her hand grab his and hold on tight, preventing him from removing it from her shirt.

"Kind sir! Kind sir! I said you were good people but your friend will not release me! Please help me kind sir!" She cried to Kenshin.

"SANOSUKE! What do you think you are doing! release the woman!" Kenshin barked.



Sanosuke was about to reply when the girl kicked his ankle and leaned back against the wall making him fall on top of her. From Kenshin's view it appeared that he had tried to kiss the girl.

"Oh do help me sir! I beg of you!" She wailed at Kenshin while waving her free arm.

"Sanosuke! I've had enough of this!" Kenshin growled and stromed over to them.

The girl released Sano as Kenshin aproached, then she collapsed against the wall, shaking with sobs.

"Now wait here Miss! I did-" Sano was cut off by Kenshin's glare. "Kenshin you dont understand she-" Sano was cut off again.

"Dont try to blame your crime on her" Kenshin said coldly as he helped the girl up.

"But-...She-..I-" Sano stammered as Kenshin led the girl out of the allyway.

"Go back to the Dojo," Kenshin said glaring at Sano, "We shall discuss this later."
