..::Prologue::..
Summer. The heat was unbearable, and not even a slight breeze could be felt. All around everything was still. The plants seemed to be crying out for water, even the small animals wanted nothing more than rest. Who would want to be out on a day such as this anyway?
"Why me?" Megumi asked herself rhetorically. Sighing, she continued to walk towards Sano's house. Dr. Genzai asked her to go see him, as usual, he didn't show up for the scheduled check-up of his much battered hand and body.
"And he had to live in the outskirts of town." She said exhaustedly, frantically waving her fan up and down to relieve herself of the heat.
She was thankful when she saw his house not far from where she was standing. She was already tired of walking. At least she can take a little break while checking on the chicken head.
***
Sano was half asleep on the floor when he heard a light knock on his door. Not bothering to put his gi back on, he went to see whom it was. "I hope it's not another stupid drunk guy who wants to challenge me. I'm in no mood to fight." he mumbled as he opened the door.
"It's you." he said matter-of-factly. Great, I'm in no mood for a verbal battle either.
"Well, good afternoon to you too. Aren't you going to let me in?" Megumi said mockingly.
"Che. Whatever." Sano muttered under his breath, but at the same time moving out of the way.
Upon entering, she immediately opened her bag and brought out everything she would need.
"Now, why didn't you go to Dr. Genzai liked he asked you last week?" Megumi asked as she signaled Sano to sit on a chair.
"It was too hot."
"So, you noticed that too." She said, raising an eyebrow.
"Che." he replied, not even looking at her. But really, Sano was a bit guilty, realizing Megumi had to walk all the way from the clinic. He knew how far his house was from the town.
She started unwrapping his old bandages. She washed his hand and applied a sort of cream to it before wrapping it again with new bandages.
She then cut the ones covering his body. She started applying the same cream to it. As she rubbed the green mixture on his abdomen she, as usual, started to scold him. "You didn't even clean your wounds or replace your bandages!" she said, pointing to the dirty pile of dressing on the floor.
She reminded him, again, to stop fighting and to take a bath at least once a day. She continued as she rewrapped him in bandages. She had to put her arms around him to place the bandages properly. Her face would get so close to his that he'd have to turn away lest his face becomes redder than a ripe tomato.
Since his house only had two small windows, it was very hot inside. Sano's ears were already burning and their position was making him more uncomfortable by the minute. The weather wasn't helping either. He had to do something before he does something he would regret later on.
***
Megumi was reprimanding him about his habits, when Sano suddenly yelled at her.
"Why don't you mind you own business!" he said angrily.
She was so startled, but she would show no sign of it. "Fine." she said, tying one last knot.
"If that's the way you want it!" she almost screamed at him as she stormed out of the house.
***
Sano was as surprised as she was. He didn't mean to yell at her. It just happened. He was trying to think, but all her scolding was distracting him. He got so annoyed that he wasn't able to stop himself.
"Baka." he said hitting himself lightly on the head. He chuckled as he realized that she finished treating him first before storming out.
As he picked up his gi, he saw Megumi's medicine bag lying on the floor. "She must've forgotten 'bout it." he said to himself. Guess I'll have to return it, for all I know, fox lady wouldn't think of coming back here for a while.
He decided he would return it later that afternoon, when the sun wasn't as hot. He also thought of getting some bandages first. That way, he wouldn't have to go back to the clinic for a while either. As he fumbled through her bag, under all the medicine, he found a small black book inside.
Curious, he opened it and started to read what's written inside. He didn't have to read past the first few words to realize what it was.
Her diary...
He knew he was invading her privacy. But the temptation was too much... he continued on reading.

Kindly review. A few words would be greatly appreciated.
Will probably get revised if you think it sucks. Lol. :D
