Ohayoo!
I'm glad everyone is enjoying this fic- I'm having a blast writing it in my procrastination time- I would say free time- but I don't seem to have much of that!
Oh well that is sort of my own fault with taking so many classes and working- but writing is SOOOOO much more fun!
Anyway- another week is nearly done- Thank You God! I need the weekend! I need an anime a thon! On the block this weekend is NOIR! And whatever random show I decide to rent… Neon Genesis Evangelion sounds like a good one- I haven't seen that in years! Plus I need to see the movie and new ending! "Ya Shinji!"
Right now I'm hyper (I had Pocky ^_^) after Japanese class, relaxing in my boxers watching the International Channel play Jpop music videos! They just played one of my favorite Jpop groups!!! BoA- the lead singer is soooo cute! Why are most Japanese women just so adorable looking? You just want to go up and hug them… ok that was weird…
Ok- enough of a tangent there- I suppose you would like the story about now? Ok! Fine- but I warn you- you might need to watch out WAFF alert- S/M goodness abounds in this chapter! Yeah!-
And as always let me know what you think!

Chapter 7
Megumi could not believe it. As his arms reached around her frame, the tears came faster.
"You came back…I waited… I waited for you everyday…" She said as she pulled back a bit.
"If I had known I'd get this kind of welcome from you, I would have come over sooner." Came his usual cocky tone.
Megumi pulled back and playfully swatted him on the shoulder- only you get a yelp from the man sitting before her.
"Sano… what's wrong?"
"Yeah, you haven't changed a bit. Don't you know doctors are suppose to heal people's injuries and not hurt them?" He smiled while holding his hurt shoulder. "It kind of got popped out of whack earlier." He said with an innocent look on his face. He may have grown up in physical stature and everything, but deep down Megumi could see the childish side of Sanosuke that she had fallen in love with some years ago.
"And then there's you- who may look like you've changed on the outside, but you're still the same. What kind of fight did you get into this time? You just got back and you are already beat up." She sighed as she began to help him take off his suit jacket. "Now don't let this go to your head or anything- but I need you to take off your shirt. I do have to see what damage you did this time."
Sano slipped his hurt shoulder out of the jacket and shirtsleeve with the help of Megumi after all the buttons were undone.
Megumi's hands were trembling as she aided Sano in shedding his shirt. It had been so long since she had seen him, but his undeniable masculinity was even more appealing than it was four years ago.
There was silence between them as she gazed at the man she had dreamt of for four long years. His chest and arms had filled out a great deal. The thin and lanky frame had become perfectly refined with muscle that Megumi could not help but run her hand up his chest ever so lightly.
The whispers of her soft and delicate hands felt good against his skin. It seemed like it had been an eternity since anyone had brought such sensations to him. Sano had almost forgot his body could react as it was. A rush of heat began to burn in him, yet he remained still.
Her hand paused as she traced the outline of a scar near his heart. Being a doctor for as long as she had Megumi noticed something truly troubling about this scar. The angle of the blade was similar to that of a self inflicted wound…
"Sano?" She said looking up to his eyes. For the first time ever she saw an unmasked pain in his deep brown eyes. He was not hiding it like he had so many years ago. She didn't know if she had the heart to ask him what happened because she didn't want to hear it was caused by her words of rejection. She didn't want to fathom the utter despair she had caused him, the one she loved the most.
"It's in the past…" He said in but a whisper as his hand went to clutch hers. Sano's hand guided both hands away from the painful memories that the scar symbolized…
That night his world had crumbled into nothing. The loneliness he felt had finally gotten to him back then called him into the dark void that tolled for them all at one time or another. In his darkest moment just as he was about to truly give up, an unfamiliar light had saved him. How he had dreamt many times that it would be Megumi, but no- it was an unknown angel that had saved his life and nursed him back from the brink.
Megumi forced a smile but in her eyes she silently pleaded for forgiveness.
"And people change." She told him, "but my feelings for you never wavered over that time… I was a fool and didn't admit it to myself or to anyone for so long. But… I love you Sagara Sanosuke… I always have…" She said as she waited for his response.
"Megumi…I…" Sano didn't know what to tell her. He wasn't the same man he was before… yet his feelings for her never drifted either. Even for the brief time with Hikari, he had never felt anything as strongly as he felt now with Megumi so near.
'But how would she react to Nyoko?' Sano wondered. He had lived for her for so long that he didn't even think about himself. Moreover, their stay here in Tokyo wasn't permanent.
'And my heart cries for you as well, but can we actually work things out?' He wondered as he looked into her crimson orbs.
"You don't have to tell me now." She said, trying to not sound hurt. Instead, she went back to treating his shoulder. "I'm just glad you're back Sano." Megumi said as she lightly kissed his cheek from behind him. "Let's take care of this shoulder." She smiled as she applied a bit of pressure to the bones.
Once the bones were gently pushed back into the right places Megumi began to wrap his shoulder with long strips of gauze.
"There you go- good as new." She smiled at him.
A short silence followed as Sano decided what to do and say. Raising his hand up to her cheek, his large hands caressed the silky skin of her jawbone. As he traced his fingers over her soft, and partially opened lips, shivers coursed down his spine.
"Megumi…" He tried to start out strong, but it came out much like a sensual growl.
"Yes Sano…" Came her breathy reply. She was so close to him again and she reveled in the feel of his touch. 'This time will be different,' she thought. 'This time we can't hide anything… he has to love me just as much as I love him- his touch and his eyes tell me that…'
"Don't ever doubt the feelings I have for you…" He whispered to her as his lips lightly fluttered against hers.
Megumi could not stand the light brush of his lips- she wanted more. No longer content in the passiveness of his actions- she took the dominant position and pulled his face to hers for the deepest kiss either had ever experienced.
The two were so wrapped up in each other and their building sensations that neither heard the cries from outside the room and the door opening…
"I want to see MY daddy!" Nyoko continued to be defiant. "Where is he?"
"Nyoko-chan, you must calm down, that you must." The red haired man told her. She had stubbornly been bothering everyone. 'She had Sano's temper, that she does and then some.' The Rurouni thought as he rubbed his temples. Nothing was as straining as babysitting two children…
"No Kenji! You mustn't touch that!" The father quickly turned to snatch his curious son away from a bottle of medicines sitting on a tray with in reach.
While his back was turned the little girl in his care took the opportunity to sneak away.
'If they won't tell me, I'll find out where daddy is for myself.' She thought as she wandered through the clinic.
No one seemed to pay any attention to the small child as she went from room to room looking for her father.
Coming to a room at the end of a hallway, Nyoko was about to give up and return to the very strange man, who seemed to know her father. That was until she heard the voice of her father. After listening for a second at the door to make sure it was him, Nyoko decided to enter.
Throwing open the door with a happy smile on her face, she called out to her father.
"Daddy!!!"
Sano froze from his compromising situation under Megumi. The foxy doctor's ministrations had him nearly laying down on the examining table. Propped up on his elbows, shirtless and with his hair in a mess, Sano could only take his eyes off Megumi, who was playfully nibbling at his earlobe, and looked over to the little wide-eyed girl.
Seeing her father underneath a strange person confused Nyoko. She had never seen her father doing such a thing. Suddenly a protective streak arose and the little girl ran to her father's aid.
"What are you doing to my Daddy?" She yelled as she pushed a stunned Megumi off Sano.
"Don't hurt him!" She continued. "Daddy are you ok?"
Megumi's eyes were full of bewilderment as Sano suddenly went stiff and pulled away from her lips. And then unexpectedly a child was pulling at her garments and moving her off Sano.
However, that was not the heart of the matter- it was a single word that had worried her the most. That little girl had called him… no she must have heard wrong… but then it came again… 'Daddy?'
