Run- Away
Part 7
"Why because the truth hurts?" She replied. "No but every time you open your mouth to talk you sound stupid." Sano yelled.
Megumi popped her head out of Kaoru's door sending Sano evil glares.
"Oh so you mean like how you sound like an ass when you open your mouth?" Saitou replied shrugging.
Everyone laughed again.
"Well if that's the case then I would have to second that notion of you sounding like one." Aioshi said to Sano.
Sano was steaming as everyone laughed harder.
"Yeah, yeah laugh it up. But you know you guys have the dumbest come back. And what do you know our top 4 are right here. In fourth place we've Aioshi, three Saitou, second the ugly fox, I mean Megumi, and number one Kenshin." Sano stated icily.
Now Sano was surrounded by death glares including Kenshin.
"What! Don't act like it's not true." Sano inquired. "You have little room to talk Sanosuke." Megumi said as she prepared herself to turn around and go back into Kaoru's room.
"Hey Miss Megumi what are you doing in Kaoru's room?" Kenshin asked curiously.
"I was going to borrow a hair ribbon from Kaoru." She answered. "What for?" Sano asked as he folded his arms.
"Why do you care?" She asked. "Who said anything about me caring?" Sano countered. Megumi's face pinched with anger.
"Why don't you just shut up and continue talking. I'm not gonna listen in I promise." Megumi yelled while behind her back she crossed her fingers.
"Yeah like you weren't listening when you turned the corner only moments ago talking about the moron." Aioshii replied.
Silence followed.
"Hey watch it buddy." Sano spat as soon as he figured out Aioshi was talking about him. "You really are a moron." Megumi said as she turned around and closed Kaoru's door.
"Hey come back in say that to my face!" Sano yelled. Megumi reopened the door.
"Why because you didn't hear me? DO you need I hearing device of some sort Sano?" Megumi said pretending to be thinking.
Sano growled.
"But if it makes you feel better.." Megumi trailed off. She walked to Sano and said with an attitude. "You really are a moron." And turned around and walked right back into Kaoru's room.
"So you're just gonna stand there and take that?" Saitou asked very amused.
"No he wouldn't dare hit a lady." Megumi said in a dignified way.
"Oh is that so. Then show me where a lady is then." He stated. "Because in all honesty I don't see one." He added.
This time it was Megumi's turn to growl. Aioshi and Saitou laughed so hard they were us each other as a support from falling.
Megumi got so upset that she turned back into the room and slammed the door shut.
"Poor Miss Megumi." Kenshin mumbled. 'She looked so heartbroken.' Kenshin add in his head.
"Please Kenshin there's nothing sorry about her." Sano replied. "But Sano that was a little harsh even for you." Kenshin reasoned. "Well I can't help it she gets on my nerves."
"No need to tell us twice. We've seen." Saitou spoke as he regained his composure, but still the slightest bet of amusement danced in his voice. Aioshi nodded in agreement.
Kenshin shook his heads at the group of men. Beside the fact that Kenshin was concern about her feeling he was also concern about why she would want to borrow a ribbon from Kaoru? Usually she never asks Kaoru for a ribbon. And besides that she said she even hates them herself. So why she would want to borrow one was beyond him.
"Okay now that WAS an amusing sideshow, but I have a question, or rather, WE have a question for you two." Saitou began.
"What is it?" Kenshin asked. Pushing away thoughts of Megumi for a second.
Kenshin and Sano looked seriously at both Aioshi and Saitou. Then there was a temporary silence before the question.
"So witch one of you got the girl?" Aioshi asked.
Kenshin and Sano fell on the ground anime style and dumbfounded.
'And here I thought they were being serious.' Kenshin said in his head.
'What in the hell type of question was that?' Sano thought.
Sanosuke and Kenshin got back off the ground.
"Okay you guys had ONE too many drinks." Sano said under his breath. "What was that?" Saitou said menacingly.
"I-I said... you guys had... One too many.. drinks. Cough!" Sanosuke said. "Nice joke." Kenshin said with a nervous laugh and turned to leave.
"Oh no you don't!" Saitou said as he grabbed Kenshin's collar. "Now you're not leaving that easily. Now answer our question!" Saitou demanded.
"What question?" Kenshin asked. "You know what question." Aioshi retorted.
"No I don't I wasn't listening." Sano replied.
"About the girl!" Saitou said.
"What girl?" Kenshin asked again.
"What about a girl?" Sano questioned his face pinched with curiosity.
"Which one of you is seeing the young woman who owns this low down, no good dojo!" Saitou and Aioshi yelled at the same time after sighing.
Kenshin and Sano took a step back. They both could sense their anger.
"Oh Miss Kaoru, is that who you mean?" Kenshin spoke nervously.
Megumi who had been up to this point esdropping backed away for the door.
'They all are a bunch morons,' she thought, 'But we love them all the same.' She added.
She turns back to her little pile she had made on the floor. She had found a lot of stuff in Kaoru's closet looking for a ribbon. And that's when she noticed the note from Kaoru's package lying on its backside on her futon amongst the discarding wrapping paper.
'It would be the wrong thing to do if I read her mail.' Megumi thought as she had started to pick up the letter.
'But she left it right here on the ground. Deserted and left for anyone to stubble up and find.' She whined in her head. 'But Kaoru wouldn't read my personal mail if she found it on the ground...or would she?' Megumi thought again.
Finally after a long debate she decided to just read it already.
Then as she finished the letter she screamed out loud.
Hey I'm back! For the moment anyway. I bet your wandering what in the world is Megumi yelling at but there's only one way to find out and that my beautiful friend is by reviewing!
