This is my take on Megumi and Sanosuke's relationship in sestina form.

Patching Sestina
.
He was a violent, rude, and all around frustrating
man. His brown hair shot from his head like fire
reaching skyward. The character of evil that
he wore on his back was an indication of what kind
of person he was. It blazed from his white jacket, black
and foreboding. Though his friends said he had a good heart.
.
She had decided long ago that good heart
or not, there couldn't be a man more frustrating
than he was, always walking into her clinic with a black
eye or broken hand, begging for treatment while she fired
glares at him. Deep down she was really a kind
woman so she'd patch him up all the while saying that
.
he didn't deserve it and should be thankful that
she had such a generous and giving heart
to patch up a man who thought it was some kind
of game to fight and continually frustrate
her efforts to heal him. She was truly a fiery
woman with dark red lips and long black
.
hair and mahogany eyes that turned just as black
when she yelled at the recklessly violent man for being just that
a recklessly violent man, the worst kind, the one with fire
in his eyes and a smile on his face and a big open heart.
When she looked at him, she was incredibly frustrated.
How dare he be so gentle with her? How dare he be so kind?
.
How dare she let herself be smitten with that kind
of a man? She did not want to see him in her office with black
and blue bruises and cuts marking up his frustratingly
perfect body. She wanted to see him in the bed that
she slept in each night all alone. Her heart
ached when she saw rock torn skin or fire
.
burned lips. She wanted to yell, Let me be your fire!
Let me burn you! Let me cool you! I'll be any kind
of woman you want! But she kept the words in her heart.
She lied to the redheaded man she once loved and his black
haired sweetheart. She said she could never be with that
kind of man, that he was rude and violent and all around frustrating.
.
And he was frustrating because he was sweet and gentle and kind
and his touch set her on fire and watching the black
character of evil that she saw as he walked away reminded her just how very hard it was to deny the heart.
