Author's Notes: Okay. Part 9. Finally. : winces : My head hurts REALLY bad right now. I even took some medicine and it's not going away. I say we sue the people who make Tylenol and then go on a rampage! YES! O.O Did I just say that? LOL. Okay. Part 9. HERE WE GOES!
The Legend of Himura Kenshin
EPISODE 9- The Strongest Group of Ninjas: The Horrible Oniwanbanshu
Sanosuke's View
What kind of a bastard is Kanryu?
I may not like Megumi all that much, but forcing her to make opium is just wrong. Even I can't put up with that. And then to add to it, he's standing there threatening Ayame and Suzume to get her to go back with him and force her to make even more opium.
Making her kill more people.
Does money mean that much to that guy? Does it mean so much that he's willing to destroy Megumi's life, threaten the lives of Ayame and Suzume, and kill people to get more money? What kind of a fucking bastard is Kanryu?
All Megumi wanted was to be reunited with her family. I can't help but feel pity for her, since she had no choice in where she was lead. Kanryu sucked her up and made her cause death when she was supposed to be learning how to save people with new medicine.
And all this time, the only reason Megumi kept herself alive was to see her family. The only reason she put up with all this was so that one day, she could see the family she lost back in Aizu. All this time she put up with Kanryu, put up with making opium, put up with knowing that she was doing nothing but killing people, just because she wanted to see her family.
She would have killed herself if she didn't have a goal like that.
I can hear her crying on the other side of the tree. I don't care enough about the situation to try and make her feel any better... after all, it was her opium that killed my friend. I can leave her alone, though, to cry by herself. That's about all the comfort I can offer her.
That's all I will offer her.
I've got the distinct feeling that she's willing to go back to Kanryu if it means to save the dojo and the children. I have a feeling that she'll go back, and that she'll give up. As much as I don't trust her, I still have to keep her from doing that.
I'll meet her there at Kanryu's estate and try and talk her out of it.
After all, I may not like Megumi, but...
Even a kitsune like her deserves another chance.
Author's Notes: I'M SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG: beats self over head with stick : I am SO sorry! I had a really bad week, then I didn't have time to watch the episode to choose what I wanted to write about, and THEN I fell in an Inuyasha craze (which I am still in). I'm so sorry! FORGIVE ME! I hope this chatper was good. I tried hard to get Sano's voice on the whole Megumi situation, but darn it all, this is a HARD part to write! Oh well.
Love and hugs,
Crystal Renee
