Chapter 6: Sanosuke Sagara

Great haul! For once I'm actually winning in gambling! I might actually be able to pay my debt to the restaurant I owe!

I left the place because I had pity on the guys I was playing with. I was sucking them dry! I had to at least leave them something to bring home.

I took the long way home, walking around this manor that leads around to the main road. I couldn't wait to pass by the restaurant to pay my account. I've been getting guilty about that. Heck, I might even rub this in Saito's face if I see him. The damn cockroach will die of jealousy.

Speaking of the ass-wipe, I think I do see him. He's under a tree, and talking to it...wait...what? He's talking to a tree?? No...he has a girl with him...WHAT??? He has A GIRL UNDER A TREE??? I have to check this out...

I silently inched toward them. Peeking from behind a corner near them, I watched. The roach was with a girl all right, but he wasn't coming on her. Heh, I knew he couldn't do that to any girl if he had the chance! But wait...there was something oddly familiar about that girl...

Her skin paler than the moon, her hair was long, black, and silky, and she had the most perfect features. I bumped into her, brought her to the clinic when she fainted...

Tokito...could it possibly be her?

I shook my head vigorously and closed my eyes. This was just my imagination and I was seeing my worst nightmare possible come true. When I open my eyes, there will be no one in front of me. But I could've sworn that I saw them...

I opened my eyes...and they were gone! No one around at all! I jumped from my hiding place and looked around. No one. Maybe it was just my imagination...

Then again, it was Tokito...
