Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin
Chapter 4
" . . . and that's what happened Kenshin."
"So, Kaoru wanted to ask me. So, she likes me as more than a friend."
"It seems that way, but don't tell her I said anything."
"I won't."
"Hi, Kenshin ready to dance?"
"Sure Megumi. See you later Sano."
"Yeah see you later."
"Misao do you want to dance?"
"Sure Soujiro."
The two got to the dance floor and started dancing. Sano watched on and noticed how bored Kenshin seemed to be dancing with Megumi.
"Hey Sano."
"Hey Missy. Is something wrong you seem upset?"
"I'll talk to you over a dance."
"Okay."
~~~~****~~~~
(On the dance floor)
"I can't believe Megumi insulted you like that."
"I know. I was on the verge of tears, but I held them back."
"Listen missy. I know there are times when I make fun of you for not being a, you know, woman. But I like you the way you are and you don't care what other people think about how you dress like a tomboy and I admire you for that. Don't change yourself for some guy." (A/N: He's such a sweetie, isn't he? ^_^)
"Sano, that's got to be the sweetest thing you ever said to me."
"I have my moments. Besides your more mature than me and some girls."
"Your right about that besides you are mature at times."
"Really? I hope people don't bother me about that."
Kaoru giggled.
"Feel better missy?"
"A lot better. Thank you Sano."
"No problem."
~~~~****~~~~
(Meanwhile)
Kenshin couldn't help but watch as Sano and Kaoru were dancing. He felt bored dancing with Megumi. He knew she was a good person and all, but he didn't feel right dancing with her. After what Sano told him he was starting to rethink his and Kaoru's friendship. He hadn't seen the signs from Kaoru liking him as more than a friend, but lately he had felt differently about her and seeing her tonight and listening to what Sano said he realized his true feelings.
'I think I like her too.'
"Kenshin is something wrong?"
"ORO?"
"You seem distracted."
"Oh, no I'm not distracted. I'm perfectly fine."
"Okay, but lets go outside for a moment okay?"
"Um . . . okay."
Megumi took hold of his hand and led him outside.
~~~~****~~~~
"Sano, could I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Did you dress up because you wanted Megumi to think you looked good?"
"What? No, of course not. I just decided to look nice and a little decent. Sanosuke Sagara does not change himself to get a girl to like him."
"Okay. I was just asking."
"Okay, maybe I thought about it but I decided not to do it for her but for myself. I can tell you one thing though, tomorrow the hair style is going back and so is the red bandana."
"If that is what you want Sano."
"Want to go outside?"
"In a minute. Let's get some punch."
"Okay."
~~~~****~~~~
"It's nice out here, that it is."
"Yes, it is." 'This is the perfect setting for Kenshin to be my boyfriend' she thought with a smile 'I'll throw my arms around his neck and give him a kiss he'll never forget.'
"Megumi, I have to tell you something."
"Can't it wait Kenshin?" she said throwing her arms around his neck and leaning in for a kiss.
Kenshin moved his face away from hers and took her arms off his neck. "No, it really can't Megumi."
"Alright."
"Megumi, you're a nice person and I've had a nice time tonight . . ."
"I can make it even nicer" she said once again putting her arms around his neck and leaning in to kiss him.
Kenshin out her arms down once again and this held her wrists down. "I'm serious Megumi."
"Why do I get the feeling that you're dumping me?"
"I'm dumping you. I just don't feel like dating you."
"What?! Why not?!"
"Your really not my romantic type and don't get me wrong, you're a great person and I like you just not in the way that you think."
"It's Kamiya, isn't it?"
"What does Kaoru have to do with this?"
"You like her and you want to dump me. I can't believe that you want to dump me for her. Why? Is she prettier than me?"
"That's not what I'm saying Megumi. Truth is I wanted to go to this dance with you for the wrong reason."
"And what is that?"
"I wanted to go with you mostly because I was attracted to you. I didn't realize till now that that was the only reason I wanted to go with you to this dance. I don't want to date you just because you're beautiful. I also want to date you because we have something in common and we have a connection between each other and once we talked tonight I felt that I didn't have that connection with you."
"I see. That is very noble of you Kenshin."
"Thank you Megumi."
"Are you sure you don't feel a connection?"
"No I'm afraid not."
"Well, I'll respect your decision."
"Thank you Megumi and out there is some guy waiting for you."
"Maybe. Could we have one more dance?"
"Sure."
They then walked back inside and didn't even realize two figures standing on the other side of the wall with eyes beaming.
~~~~****~~~~
Those two figures were Sano and Kaoru and they had heard the whole conversation.
"Wow, Kenshin really doesn't like her the way I thought he did."
"Yeah and this means I have a chance with Megumi."
"Yeah and I have a chance with Kenshin. Sano before we go back in I want to thank you."
"For what?"
"For coming with me tonight."
"Hey we made a pact that if we couldn't get a date to the dance we'd go together and it was fun despite the fact that Megumi was dancing with Kenshin."
"Yeah I had a nice time too. Lets go inside and dance."
"Okay and Kaoru I know your going to hate me for this but I told Kenshin how you felt about him."
"WHAT?! Sano how could you?!"
"Chill missy. I admit it was wrong for me to do what I did, but I think that someday you'll thank me."
"I won't thank you. You are a big blabber mouth, next time I'm going to tell Megumi how you feel about her."
"You think that will work for her to go out with me."
"SANO!"
"Don't worry missy. Tomorrow I'll just tell him it was a joke, a gag, an early April fool's joke. He'll believe."
"He'd better otherwise you're going to be in deep trouble."
Sano gulped at the thought of what Kaoru would do to him. They walked back inside to enjoy the rest of their night.
~~~~****~~~~
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed chapter 4. I finished this on November 30, but I didn't get it posted up sooner. I only have one more chapter to go and I think I'll put that chapter up despite my earlier wishes. The stories I'm keeping on hold because I have a lot more to go on those ones. So, I'll try to update by next week.
Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving.
Mine was dull and I don't want to get into it.
Later ^_^
