The Kitsune vs the Waitress

Chapter 3: The final battle.

By Misao's Angel

For the past two weeks, Tae had been giving Sano the look. And not just any look, but THE look. Megumi was horrified. Sano had been going to the Akabeko even MORE often now that he could get free food. (Not that he ever didn't but at least this time Tae wouldn't nag him) It was really pissing Megumi off. And not just Megumi, believe it or not, but all the other residents in the Kamiya Dojo as well. Well, that is, all except for the Battousai who absolutely loved it. He would nag Megumi everyday now that she had no excuse to stop him. And Sanosuke, well, he couldn't believe that he had two girls fighting over HIM at every minute. Sure, he's had suitors before, but they always seemed like the desperate type. But now that he could get the infamous Megumi to like him, he was happy. He never felt that wanted before. Not even by Sagara-taichou in the Sekihoutai. And he was about to take advantage of it.

But for Megumi, her plan was finally ready to go. All she needed was a gatling gun... (Just kidding Aoshi, really!!!) Okay then, just a noose, or some secret weapon at least, and she was ready. And all she had to do to get that was ask Battousai. He was sure to have at least some in stock, former assassin and all that. So now, she was ready. It'd all start tomorrow.

The next morning at 6:00, Tae set out to the Akabeko, as usual, and got ready for the long day ahead. Little did she know just how long that day was going to be. She did the usual, and spread all of the ingredients needed to make her famous hot-pots out on the counter. When she had just started chopping the lettuce, she heard her first customer enter. 'Sanosuke?' She wondered, when Tsubame reached his table to take his order. "Two bowls of rice please" She heard the customer say. But the voice wasn't Sanosuke's. Slightly disappointed, Tae began to cook the man's breakfast.

Another customer entered. "Green Tea please."

Nope, that was a girl's voice.

And things went on like so for the rest of the morning. 'Where's Sanosuke?' Thought the worried restaurant owner.

Just then Megumi stormed in. "I bet your wondering where Sanosuke is, hmm? OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!" She said, with an evil sneer.

"You Bitch! Let him go now!"

"Hell no. If you want him, you gotta get him yourself. He's at my place. Come, if you think you can take it. OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!" Megumi laughed.

"Then let the games begin."

When Tae approached the premises, Megumi was all set to set the plan in action. (hee hee, bad joke) "Bombs under the dresser, check. Kaltrops on the floor, check. Eraser in door, Check. Misao in the closet, when kept away from Aoshi-sama for two days, check."

Then Tae and Megumi did the honorable hand shaking. Tae said with her teeth tightly clenched, "Let the better woman win."

"Then I guess you forfeit, 'cuz I'm the only woman!" Said the smirking kitsune.

"You will die."

So, the two proceeded to rip each other's heads off. Tae evaded the Kaltrops, destroyed the bombs, and dodged the eraser. Megumi was forced to use her secret weapon. An angry Misao. She opened the door to the closet (With a ten-foot-long pole of course!), and let the demon loose. "After Tae, Misao, she stole Aoshi." Misao bolted down the hallway to greet the unsuspecting waitress. But for some reason, she came back.

Too bad for Megumi that she didn't look at the out-fit Tae was wearing earlier. She was wearing Aoshi's old trench coat. 'Just great.'

Now Misao wanted Megumi's head, for "Aoshi-sama" told her that Megumi had been treating her cruelly. And when an angry ittachi-onna was after you, there was nothing to do but run. And run Megumi did. She ran as fast as she possibly could, screaming at the top of her lungs, "SOMEBODY HEELLLPP ME!!!!" but to no avail. Or at least she thought.

But it seems Sanosuke heard. He ran out of Megumi's bedroom, (Where he was being kept) and screamed, "MEGUMI!!!" while he kindly knocked Misao out for her.

Tae was flabbergasted. She was thoroughly surprised that Sanosuke would help HER, and she wanted to know why. So she asked the question everyone wanted to know for weeks.

"Sano-san, who do you want, me, or her?"

"Yeah Sanosuke, Its time to quite your fucking games and tell us." (HIS fucking games?!!)

"O-Okay." This was it. He was finally going to tell them. "I have been thinking about this for a while now and I've decided. I want to spend the rest of my life with..."

To be continued in Chapter 4.

How did ya'all like chapter 3? In four he finally tells them. Who will it be? (Hee hee I love writing cliff hangers...) By the way guys, the more motivated I am to write the next chapter the quicker it'll be, right? And motivation comes in the form of reviews... (Wink Wink) So... Review please!
