Chapter Three- Leave-taking
Several weeks later in the small police headquarters of Tokyo.
"She's gone Captain." A small but stern looking police officer said to a very strong looking captain of the police force.
"Gone?" Saito asked with a bitter note to his voice. "I had you watching her constantly, and yet you tell me she is gone?!"
The cop nodded. "Yes sir."
Saito frowned, and his eyes narrowed dangerously. "Find her. I want the murderer of so many in custody, even if they have stopped."
--
"Ms. Kaoru, have you seen Sanosuke? I do believe he hasn't been in here in quite a while, which mean he can't be eating very much." Tai said smiling as she walked up to a Sano-short Kenshin-gumi.
Kaoru sighed and shook her head. "No I haven't Ms. Tai."
Kenshin's eyes drifted to a small table, which was almost dusty from being vacant so long. It was Sanosuke's table, reserved for him because he ate at the Akebeko so often. It was dusty, because Sano was gone.
After Megumi stormed out that day, Sano had gone after her, as angry as he had ever been. Kenshin had heard him swear he would find Megumi, if it killed him. He did hope it did not end up with both of his friends dead.
"I'm so sorry to hear that. Well, at least I'll be insured a good amount of food until he returns." Tai shrugged. "Well, what would you like?"
They ordered, with Yahiko ordering almost as much as Sano usually did. Strange, but the boy seemed to miss Sanosuke's company more than anyone else.
"Kenshin, where do you think Sano has gone?" Kaoru asked worriedly.
"I am sure he has followed Ms. Megumi to wherever she has left to." He said carefully.
Yes Megumi had disappeared as well. Dr. Gensai said that he had woken up the very next morning, without having seen Megumi the night before, with all her belongings gone, with a note on her pillow. Definitely Megumi's flowing script, yet it almost seemed forced.
Dr. Gensai, Thank you so much for everything. You have helped me incredibly. The time has come however for me to leave. Don't worry about me, and please tell Sir Ken and Sanosuke, I didn't do it. No matter what the proof is, I wouldn't break my promise.
Megumi
Mysterious, without a single reference to where she had gone. Dr. Gensai did say however that the same morning he found that note that Sano had come by to find Megumi. He had disappeared directly after hearing the message.
"Kenshin, did you hear me?" Kaoru asked faintly, putting a hand on Kenshin's arm.
"Oro?" Kenshin asked puzzled. He had been lost in his own thoughts once again.
"I asked you if you were going to go after Sano. And if you think they left because they were, em involved." Kaoru replied, blushing slightly.
Kenshin raised an eyebrow. "No Ms. Kaoru. I do believe that Sano held feelings for Megumi, but that.that is of the past now."
Megumi had had feelings for Sanosuke as well, and for a little while it had been thought that the relationship between the two would escalate, but with the recent events, all hope of that was gone now. Especially since one of the murders was a close friend of Sano's. But for a while after Tanabata night, all had gone well for the doctor and the ex-fighter.
--
Sanosuke held Megumi's hand tight in his own as they lay beneath the stars. It was Tanabata day, the most romantic day of the year.
"Its so beautiful." Megumi breathed softly next to him.
They weren't the only couples outside that night, yet Megumi was almost surprised to find herself there with the rooster head. He had come by late that night, flowers in hand, and the look of a man with a mission. When it was Sanosuke with that especially handsome look, how could she refuse? She did like him a lot, maybe even love him, but he did not seem the kind to want to stay put. He confused her, and she wasn't too fond of men who had that gift. She liked simple men, like Sir Ken. Usually anyhow.
"Yeah." Sanosuke replied. His attention wasn't really focused on the stars however. He was focused on Megumi. She was so beautiful, her dark eyes shining with the reflections of the stars. The wind blew gently, and as Sanoske stared, it blew her hair and her kimono to the side, revealing a small amount of cleavage. Her outfit was definitely from her 'foxy' side of the closet.
What had demanded he go ask her to see the stars? He really wasn't too happy with stuff like that, it defiled his manly side.
(A.N. We wouldn't want Sanoske to lose his Bad Boy reputation now would we? :p)
He wasn't sure whether it was his need to have a pretty woman to look at tonight after the episode with Kenshin's accident proposal, or the feeling that he actually wanted to spend that night with Megumi. He sighed as he glanced back up at the stars dancing above him and the Doctor fox. Yeah, it was the latter. But was it love?
"Sano." Megumi started softly, turning her head and her fox-like eyes toward him. "You did know what tonight was when you asked correct?"
"Well, yeah I guess. Its Tanabata right?" he replied dumbly. Of course he had known what day it was. It wouldn't have meant anything if he had not.
Megumi kissed him gently on the lips. "Good."
Sanosuke blinked. She really was a good kisser. He had wondered..he put his hand underneath her chin and pulled her face toward him again, kissing her passionately. --
Kenshin smiled remembering that night. Unbeknownst to Sanouske and Megumi, it had been himself and Kaoru that were one of the other couples nearby. Unfortunately for them, Sano was hard to miss, and Megumi with her silent beauty had attracted a small crowd of followers until they realized she already had a date for Tanabata day.
"I hope Sanosuke comes back soon. And Megumi too I suppose." Kaoru said quietly.
Kenshin sighed and nodded. "I do too, Ms. Kaoru."
"Maybe since the killings have stopped." Kaoru's voice trailed off.
He frowned, while out of the corner of his eye watching Yahiko flirt with Tsbaume. "Perhaps so, but even if they have stopped for good, unless something changes, I doubt Ms. Megumi will return."
"So the police are-"
"Kaoru Kamiya?" a stern looking police chief asked, standing in front of their table, a fluttery Tai behind him.
Kenshin nodded at the man before him. "Saito. What is it you need?"
"Battousai, we need Ms. Kamiya here and yourself down at the police department for questioning." Kenshin grimaced at the name. Saito was one of the few who had refused to drop it whenever he had become a wanderer.
"Questioning? Why?" Kaoru asked, her eyes wide with shock.
Saito looked around questioningly and then back to Kaoru. "You were friends with a certain Megumi Takani correct? We need to talk to you about her."
The poor rurouni sighed. He had known that eventually someone from the police department would come for the, asking questions about what he knew.
"Megumi?" Kaoru whispered. "You are joking."
A/N I know why!!! :p :p see ya!
