Chapter Three:
Sanosuke looked into the room containing the infirmary's latest patient. The man's auburn locks ran like blood down the pale color of the sheets.
"Is he really Japanese?" he asked Megumi.
"He's only half. His mother was American," replied as she finished doing inventory.
"Why wasn't he brought here like the rest of us?"
"Apparently he was on the run for a while. He tried to strike a deal with a pilot friend of his and get a flight out of the country."
"And he got caught. That was pretty stupid," muttered Sanosuke, "Where's he from? Originally?"
"I'm not certain, but Rick thinks he came from Hawaii."
Sanosuke nodded.
"May I ask why you are so interested in our new arrival?"
"Oi, a new guy with bright red hair, shows up all mysterious like in the dark of night and you expect me NOT to be interested?" he defended, "It's not just me who's asking. The whole camp wants to know."
"I seriously doubt that the whole camp knows he's here," said Megumi pointedly.
"Okay so it's just me and a couple of friends."
Megumi smirked. "And YOU decided to use OUR friendship to your advantage?" Then, sighing, she added, "You should really tell that Weasel girl to stop snooping. It isn't safe."
"I will."
"Good, now if you'll excuse me, I need to check on my patient," she said, brushing past him, "Now, Mr. Himura how are you feeling?"
"Much better thank you…"
"OI FOX!" Sanosuke called, poking his head through the door, "Can I have a check up too?" he asked suggestively.
"Baka, Tori Atama!," Megumi snapped, "I have patients trying to rest in here!"
"Saa, then I guess if I want attention I'll have to rest in here too, ne?"
Kenshin just blinked as Sanosuke lay down on the cot next to him.
"Oi, Hi there! I'm Sanosuke Sagara!" he said brightly as he turned to the red head.
"…" Kenshin just blinked repeatedly.
Sanosuke sighed. "Generally, when someone introduces themselves to you, you do the same for them.
"Um, Hi I'm Kenshin Himura."
"That's better!" smiled Sanosuke, as he reached out to shake his hand. "Welcome to our little slice of paradise! I believe you have already met the fox."
"You mean Miss Takani?
"Yeah that's her name too." Megumi just fumed in the background
"Any way when you're feeling better maybe I can show you around this place."
"Thank you," responded Kenshin.
Sanosuke turned to Megumi, "Oi, he doesn't talk much does he?"
"No he talks, it's just that you never stop talking. You've been spending too much time with the Weasel."
"Oi, you know that's not true! I've been spending all my time with you!" he said slyly as he got up and wiggled his hips in an indecent gesture.
Megumi blushed as red as Kenshin's hair. "THAT IS NOT TRUE TORI ATAMA AND YOU KNOW IT!"
"Maa maa! Mr. Sanosuke I don't think that Miss Takani appreciates what you're doing that she does not!"
"Oi, he talks funny too."
"Oro?"
"See?"
"Sano get OUT," Megumi screamed.

As they approached the infirmary, Kaoru and Misao were welcomed by the angry voices of Sano and Megumi.
"Hey! What's going on here?" Kaoru yelled as they entered the building.
Sano came running down the hall as fast as his feet could carry him, "I-just-came-to-meet-the-new-guy-and-now-Meg's-trying-to-murder-me!"
"Yeah that makes sense," muttered Kaoru sarcastically.
Misao in the mean time had gone into the room to find Megumi enraged, holding a needle like a weapon.
"Kyaaa!" she screamed as she back away from the needle.
Megumi realized what she was doing and instantly got out of her defensive stance. "Sorry, Misao."
Misao giggled nervously. "T-th-that's okay, Meg."
Kenshin just stared in quiet fear. This is crazier than the prison! What I'd give to be back there right now!
It was just then that Kaoru walked in.
I take that back.
