Chapter 15
A/N: Hello all! Sorry I got side tracked for a day or two…
I mean to have this up on late Friday ^_^; But guess what came in the mail???? Season 2 and Ova's of Fushigi Yuugi!!!!!!!!!!! Ok- so I broke down and bought them very cheap on the Internet! I spent all Friday night, and Saturday showing them to my roomie and friends- nothing like an all day anime-athon. Plus I fixed a pair of my old jeans- I turned them into a really cool looking skirt- I put a piece of silk with a Japanese pattern in between the legs- it looks great! I get so crafty while I watch anime-
But anyway- here's the 'last' chapter of the fic- I think there will have to be an epilogue- so keep watch in the next day or so. I promise I will have it done before I go home for Thanksgiving, probably Monday night after the mother of all Japanese tests that is going to HURT!!!! I'll definitely need some anime related stuff to do after that… our sensei's might be cute, but they are mean! Mean! MEAN! But I still like them ^_^;
Ok- really need to shut up now… sorry… here's the chapter before I continue rambling… enjoy!

Hearing a soothing melody being hummed in the distance drew him from the darkness. His body throbbed with pain- wondering what happened Sano silently listened to the tune being hummed with get emotion and love.
Opening his brown orbs, Sanosuke turned his head towards the source of the beautiful melody. What he saw next warmed his heart and drowned the pain away, if only for an instant.
Megumi… the stunning Megumi was kneeling on the floor not too far from where he laid. In her arms she held his little brown haired kitten. Stroking Nyoko's hair lovingly, she rocked the child to sleep.
The pair looked so much like a mother and child; it brought tears to his eyes. On little Nyoko's face was a content look. Megumi's eyes were closed, but her expression was a happy one also. But she also looked tired… Sano wanted to go over there and hug the both of them, but when he tried to move, the pain suddenly returned with a great surge.
Letting a slightly auditable groan escape his lips, he remembered everything that had happened…
Nyoko went off on her own… she was crying because of that wolf… the fight, and then…
'Che," he sighed inwardly. 'Can I ever beat that psycho cop?'
But a warm hand touching his cheek disrupted the rest of his inner thoughts.
"You're awake." She said as dark orbs met his brown ones. The appearance of tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Megumi… don't cry," he whispered up to her.
"Kami-sama Sanosuke… do you know how worried we all were? How worried I was??? Not to mention poor little Nyoko." Megumi let the tears come. She knew she didn't have to hide them anymore. "I thought I had lost you again… I can't… I can't loose you Sano… I love you too much."
"It's alright. I'm alright- see?" He smiled kissing her hand. "Everything will be fine." Megumi was relieved. She had begun to doubt her work. The cut was deep, but luckily it hadn't punctured anything too vital.
All she kept remembering was the way he looked in that moment. She had only seen his look so weak and vulnerable a few times before… when they brought him to the clinic he looked so unlike his normal self. Bringing her head down towards his, she met is lips for a final assurance.
"You act like I almost died… are you sure this isn't heaven?" Sano asked after several passionate kisses.
"You almost did… I thought you'd never wake up… it's been three days…"
"Three days?" Sano repeated. "I've been out for three days? Che… I'm never going to be able to live this down… first that dickhead Saitou scares Nyoko, insults me and now he's knocked the crap out of me again…"
"Don't worry about it. Have a feeling he won't bring it up again." Megumi smiled.
"What?" Sano asked curiously as he tried to sit up. Megumi eased him back down telling him to not aggravate the wound. "What happened?"
"Let's just say your kitten can be a tiger when provoked."
Sano looked over to the precious treasure that slept all wrapped up in the blankets.
"You know with Nyoko being so much trouble- maybe we should hold off on children of our own." Megumi suggested looking at Sano's seemingly innocent, but smart and dangerous daughter.
"But I thought you wanted…" He started out but was silenced by a kiss. A kiss he would be able to experience for the rest of his life…

Several days later Sano was up and walking again. Kaoru and Megumi were all a buzz about the upcoming wedding. Ever since they had told the couple about the decision to get married, there had been nothing but smiles in the dojo.
Everyone knew that they would get married; even Yahiko knew it was something that was destined from the beginning. He had arrived back from his little training stint in Kyoto to find the dojo being decorated with flowers and banners.
At first he could hardly believe that Sano had come back and that he actually had made something out of his life. What surprised him even more was the little girl that attacked him after he began to laugh and try to hit Sano like old times.
"You mean this is your kid?" Yahiko screamed with a shocked expression, his jaw hanging open. The little girl clung to his leg as the samurai's son tried to pry her off with his booken.
"Nyoko, this is Yahiko. Yahiko, the kitten." Sano smiled as he plucked his daughter off of Yahiko and hoisted her up. She wrapped her skinny legs around his waist, and arms instantly hooked around his neck.
"Are you going to cook again daddy? Please?" Nyoko smiled as she kissed her father's cheek.
"And he can cook?" Yahiko was thrown for a loop. "Ok, who are you and what have you done with the lazy, gambling, good for nothing Sano?"
"He's still here, but he's finally found his way in life. And what's important." He said messing Nyoko's hair with his free arm.
Megumi and Kaoru entered the courtyard of the dojo with Kenshin bringing up the rear carrying box after box into the dojo.
"Oy- did you buy out the entire town or something?" Yahiko asked seeing the boxes.
"No we didn't buy out the whole town- but we're having a wedding! We needed to get these things!" Kaoru said justifying splurging everything Sano had given them to buy wedding preparations.
"It's not everyday a girl gets married." Megumi smiled as she walked over to Sano and Nyoko. "What did you do to your hair?" She smiled at Nyoko's messy hair.
"Daddy did it!" The girl smiled.
"Oh he did- well it's a good thing we're a family now, because I don't think your dad knows much about being a girl." Megumi smiled as she straightened the brown tangles and kissed Nyoko's head.
"Yeah. She's got a point daddy's a boy."
"Oh well thanks a lot there- I think I've done a decent job so far." Sano interjected.
"Yes you have my rooster head." Megumi said as she gave him a peck of a kiss in greeting.
"So is everything ready for tomorrow?" Sano asked.
"It looks that way, that it does." Kenshin smiled as he came out from putting the boxes inside. "And Ms Misao and everyone from Kyoto will be here early tomorrow."
"Oh this is going to be the best wedding ever!" Kaoru was giddy. Everything about this wedding reminded her of the magical night Kenshin and she finally said their vows. And she was so happy that her once adversary for Kenshin was finally happy with the one she had always loved.
"And everything's all set for the trip afterwards." Sano informed them. "Are you guys sure you can handle Nyoko for a week while Megumi and I see Japan? It's an entire week you know?" He reminded them looking at the residents of the Kamiya dojo.
"How much trouble can a kid get into?" Yahiko asked, and was given very serious looks from all the adults in the area. Nyoko just smiled innocently.
"Well then, shall I walk you home Megumi?" Sano asked as he put Nyoko down.
"Me too!" Nyoko cheered.
"I suppose, it seems that every time I let you out of my sight you get into trouble…" Sano said once again ruffling Nyoko's mass of hair.
The soon to be family walked down the streets of Tokyo together. Each had a smile on their face. They had everything they wanted now- Nyoko had her beloved father and soon to be mother, Megumi had the one she loved the most back with her and he would be with her forever, and Sano… he had been taught that even after all the sorrow life can bring- one can still learn to love again…
