Hand in Marriage

"Oro?" said Kenshin as he walked in, just in time to see Kaoru locking lips with Sano. In his shock, he dropped the velvet jewelry box, housing Kaoru's engagement ring. But behind that shocked expression plastered on his face, was a hurt and angry one, just not wanting to come out
Kaoru quickly spun around when she heard a noise behind them. Suddenly, her eyes went wide open in shock, when she saw her sweetheart standing with Yahiko at the doorway, both wearing the same, surprised look.
"Kenshin, I." she started to explain but she couldn't find the right words to say.
"Hey, Kaoru, what's wrong?" Sano asked her, obvious from the tone of his voice, that he is drunk. But Kaoru was too dumbstruck to answer.
"Damn, did he saw me." she thought, "kissing Sano.? Oh my god, what have I done?!"
"Oi, Kenshin!" he called, "way the go! You're girlfriend might not be a good cook, but she sure is one hell of a kisser!"
That was the last straw. Kenshin grabbed something from the floor and ran off.
"Kenshin, wait!" Kaoru called. Kaoru scrambled to her feet and started to run after him, but Yahiko blocked her path.
"Now you've dome it, Kaoru!" Yahiko said accusingly, "you've broken his heart."

Kenshin ran off, he didn't know where and he didn't give a damn where he was going. As long as, he is far away from Kaoru and Sano as possible. While he ran, he tried to shake of the memory of what he'd seen, but it was no use, the image was burned into his mind. Every time he would shut his eyes, hoping that it was all a dream, the image would appear.
"No! This is just a nightmare!" he tried to convince himself, "I will wake up and everything will be back to normal!" But he knew that, no matter how much he tries denies it, nothing could change the fact, that, what he saw was reality.

"Kaoru, is there something wrong with Kenshin? Is he sick?" Megumi asked as they all(Sano's not drunk anymore) remained unusually quiet all throughout lunch, "I'm worried about him, he ran off a little while ago but hasn't come back yet."
"No, Megumi," Yahoki replied, "Kenshin is perfectly healthy, except, that is, he got a broken heart, that's all."
Suddenly, Kenshin burst inside the room, panting. He pointed at Sano and exclaimed, "I, Kenshin Himura, challenge you, Sanosuke Sagara, to a sake drinking contest. No rules, last one left standing is the winner!" Sano beamed, he couldn't let this opportunity to finally beat Kenshin, pass, and what's more, at something he's good at.
"You're on!" he exclaimed, obviously pleased at Kenshin's challenge, "but if I win, you.um.I know! You have to be my slave for one week!"
Sano laughed triumphantly. He was already imagining what would it be like to have Kenshin as a slave. Since Sano knew that Kenshin couldn't hold as much sake as he can, he knew that, that image would soon become a reality, and not just another fantasy.
"Fine," Kenshin agreed, "just as long as, if I win, you will leave Kaoru alone, and I'll have her hand in marriage."
Sano choked at his last statement. "What did he meant with "leave her alone"? It's not as if, I like Kaoru or anything?" he thought to himself, obviously forgetting about their "kissing experience".
Behind him, came two soft gasps, one from Megumi and another from Kaoru.
"Am I dreaming?" Kaoru reminisced, "or did, Kenshin hear that Kenshin wants my hand in marriage?"
Did you all like it? I thought that it would be more fair if they have a sake drinking contest rather than a fighting one, or else, it wouldn't be too interesting, since we all know who's gonna win.
