A/N: Ok, this is the last chapter. *tear tear* I hope you've enjoyed the
ride! I might have another fic coming up, so I'll keep you posted. Enjoy,
and good-bye to all ye faithful readers! (Though I think there's only
two.*tear* thank you mushi-azn and Red Tigress!) And also, I suppose I have
to once more put up a disclaimer. No, I don't own Rurouni Kenshin. I do
however own this fic!
Chapter 9 Another Chance
A blur flashed across the room and suddenly right before Sanosuke's eyes, the blur blocked the incoming sword, and knocked it into the wall just above Konrato's body. Megumi turned around, shocked and concerned with his facial expressions, just in time to see the sword flash across the room.
"What was that?" she breathed softly.
Kaoru ran into the room, her hair astray and her breathing ragged. Yahiko was right behind her.
Sano grinned, as Kenshin suddenly seemed to 'materialize' in front of Miss Kaoru. The rurouni's brilliant speed once again saved the day. "Thanks Kenshin." He said giving Megumi a quick hug and released her reluctantly. If only the timing had been a bit different, maybe he could've had time to kiss her...
Kenshin smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm just glad I managed to be here in time. I would not have liked coming her to find you both killed, that I wouldn't."
Megumi coughed and stared at Kenshin. "What was that Sir Ken?" she asked all haughty once again. "We would have been killed?"
She raised a questioning eyebrow at them all. "I don't believe we would have. Even the rooster head over here with no brains would've thought of something."
The implied rooster head tried to glare at her, but he couldn't he was smiling so hard. Yahiko cracked up, laughing so hard there were tears in his eyes. Kaoru elbowed him in the stomach. "What is so funny?" she asked embarrassed at his actions.
Yahiko choked on his laughter. "Megumi.is actually being nice to Sano for once! And he's being nice to her, and ..and..oh its just too funny!"
Sano walked up to him with his hands in his pockets and put a foot on Yahiko's head. "Hey, just because I'm being nice to the Fox, doesn't mean I can't still kick your butt."
Kenshin smiled happily at the people who had grown to be like his family. Sano, the not always so good uncle, Megumi the foxy aunt, and Yahiko, the little brother who didn't always get away with everything. He gaze turned to rest on Kaoru. And her..the woman he loved.the woman he wanted to be his wife. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon.

Megumi quietly bandaged Sano's wounds, and applied poultices to his bruises. Her hands lingered on his bare back. "Thank you." she whispered.
Sanosuke turned around, and gazed at Megumi Takani. "It was nothing. I probably should be thanking you."
"Why?"
The room was silent for a few moments as Sano debated furiously. He finally decided on the truth for once. "For showing me something I haven't had in a long time. Love, true love."
Megumi's lips parted slightly. Had he just said-?
Sano stood up so he stood directly in front of her. "Megumi Takani, I love you. I hope you love me too. I know I've been a jerk sometimes, and I know I have some bad habits and bad money making skills, but-"
She stopped him with a quick finger to his lips. "I love you too Sanosuke Sagara."
Sanosuke sighed happily. That had been a really big leap of faith there. "So fox, where do we go from here?"
A smile dashed across Megumi's face. "I don't know rooster head."
"Don't be playing clever with me, Megumi." Sano said warningly, a secret smile hiding in his eyes.
"I might be." her eyes twinkled in the moonlight, as she thought of Sano's arms around her. "Or I might not."
Sanosuke swept her into his arms, pulling her close to him. "Is this it?" he whispered, pulling her face to his gently. "I think we were distracted before."
Her face leaned toward his, and she could feel his gaze on her face, and his breath on her skin.
"Maybe."
A/N: And that, my friends, would be the end. For all you KK fans out there who liked the little bit of KK I put in ever so often, stay tuned for just a bit longer. I'm going to write an Alternate ending in a little bit between Kenshin and Kaoru. It might take a little while though, because I have to check with my friend, Sammy-chan, who is the guru of all things Kenshin/Kaoru. Either way it'll be on its way soon enough. I hoped you enjoyed Trivial Love.
*bows* Until next time my friends, this is Lady-Galadria, signing off!
