To Wish Upon A Firefly:
Chapter Nine: A Hidden Secret
Yahiko walked into the dojo hoping he wasn't interrupting anything. Much to his relief he only saw a note. He picked it up and read it.
Kaoru sat next to Kenshin, staring at the still water. Patiently Kenshin waited for a bite in his fishing pole. She began thinking about their life ahead. How many children would they have? And what would they look like? Would they be boys or girls?
While all those question ran through Kaoru's mind, Kenshin simply hummed away.
Sano pressed his hand against his wounded side, the blood rushing through his fingers. He had just stepped out of his house to go gambling with some old friends when he had been ambushed by thugs. They wouldn't have been a problem for a strong guy like him, but one had gotten in a luck stab with a dagger. He had 'dispatched' them quickly, but the pain in his side was increasing. He winced. This meant he would have to go see the fox lady. He didn't really wan to go see her because every time he saw her lately, a weird feeling would rise through his body. He didn't understand this feeling and Sano didn't like things he couldn't understand.
Sano knocked on Megumi's door. She opened the door and looked at him.
"What happened, Sano?" She said as she stepped aside to let him through.
"It's nothing major." Sano said as she sat him down in a chair.
"That's for me to decide. Now take off your shirt and let me see what you did to yourself now." Megumi said getting out some bandages and hot water.
Sano raised one eyebrow, but did what she said. He was surprised. She actually sounded worried for him.
As he small light fingers touched his bare skin, he felt shivers run up his body. That feeling was rising in him again. He watched her pale serious face as she bandaged up his wound. She looked really beautiful now that he thought of it. He didn't realize he was staring at her till she finished up and looked at him.
"Why are you staring at me?" Megumi said annoyed now. Sano just grinned and shook his head. He knew now what had been bothering him. He was in love with Megumi.
Megumi frowned and sighed. "Don't get into anymore fights or I'll start charging you for my services." She said as she turned to walk out the door. He turned around to look at her.
"It almost sounds like your worried about me, fox lady." Sano said walking up to her.
"In your dreams roosterhead." Megumi said coldly.
Sano smiled and lifted on hand to touch her cheek. She didn't move, she just stood there was if she was waiting for him to do something. So he did. He leaned down and kissed her. It felt good to finally be holding her, to be touching her.
Megumi didn't move as he began to kiss her. She had wanted this for a long time and she hadn't even realized it. But she couldn't let him know that. She pulled away and slapped him across the face.
"Why you arrogant...!" Megumi began, but he just grinned and walked out the door.
Kenshin and Kaoru returned to the dojo later that evening. Kaoru clung onto Kenshin's arm as they made their way into the dojo. Kaoru saw Yahiko sitting idly on the front steps and a grin spread across her face.
"Just because we were gone, Yahiko, doesn't mean it gives you an excuse to laze around like that! I know, let's have a special training session today since I'm in such a good mood."
Yahiko groaned. Kenshin laughed and went to the kitchen to begin to cook supper for that night.
~don't ask why thugs would attack Sano in the middle of the day because then the whole thing would fall apart..k? ~
