Whoa, reviews. O.o Cool. Thanks for the support. . And, I've updated the fic by my personal deadline (I feel that if a fanfic has short chapters, it should be updated every one to three days.) I just came home from an exhausting walk, I had water and six sticks of pockey so I am ready to write!

Chapter two

Sanosuke gulped. Kenshin and Kaoru were fighting, he could tell… The vibes coming from the two were making him sick. Sanosuke had to wonder, what was causing them to be this way? "I'm done."

"I am done too, that I am." Kaoru stood up quietly and picked up everyone's plate, then left for the kitchen… But not before sending Kenshin a glare. Megumi followed Kaoru and Sanosuke looked back to make sure they were out of ear shot.

"What's up with you and the missy? You both look like you're just about ready to throw chopsticks at each other." Sanosuke said.

Kenshin sighed. "We're… Having an argument…."

"About what?"


"You said THAT?!" Megumi looked like she was just about to bust a vein.

::I knew she'd react this way!:: Kaoru exclaimed in her mind. She had been able to keep her views in order with Kenshin, and she was ready to do the same with Megumi. "Yes, yes I did."

"And he doesn't SUPPORT you?!" Kaoru was taken aback. Megumi was… Agreeing with her? "If anything else, HE should be the man and say 'Ms. Kaoru, your opinion is your own, that it is. I believe that we can agree to disagree.' Bah! Men! I guess no matter which man it is, they all are gonna act stubborn at some point."

"You… You agree with me?" Kaoru asked.

Megumi gave Kaoru a thumbs up. "You bet I do! Now, let's just wait until Sir Ken is able to be the bigger person here, then you and me can go back to hating each other! Or at least teasing."

Kaoru sniffed. "You really don't hate me?"

Megumi winked. "No, it's just fun to tease you is all. Now, let's get back there."

Megumi and Kaoru had not taken two steps in before Sanosuke stood up and looked at Kaoru. "What are you, stupid?!"

"…Excuse me?"

"You? Support the DEATH SENTENCE?!" Sanosuke was full blown into a fit of pure rage.

Megumi glared at Sanosuke. "What right do you have to yell at her, rooster head?!"

"The death penalty is a cruel and unusual sentence… I thought that the missy was all for protecting the weak!"

"Those who attack innocent people are not weak!" Kaoru defended herself. "Besides, only if there is rock hard evidence do I support it!"

Kenshin spoke: "What if the evidence seems rock hard, but is truly softer then the sand on the beach, Ms. Kaoru." Kaoru's heart felt as though it had been stabbed. Since they had begun arguing, Kenshin only said 'miss' mockingly. "What do you think of it then?"

"Then it's wrong." Kaoru said defiantly.

"Which is it, Ms. Kaoru?" Kenshin stood up. "There can only be one right or wrong… One can't be both." With that, Kenshin and Sanosuke left.

Kaoru's eyes softened. "Kenshin…"

"Don't back down Kaoru." Megumi put her hand on the younger girls shoulder. "It'll be okay, don't worry."

Kaoru nodded, but in her heart, she knew that this could only lead to disaster.

A team is forming, an alliance has been made. More people will be added and the time for someone to drift is coming soon. Will this battle, both meaningful and trivial at the same time, be ended before it is too late?
And so ends chapter two! Which was also short… ()-.- But I updated on time, so short chapters are okay… Right? () Don't answer that. Now Sanosuke and Megumi are involved! I know Kaoru knows that Megumi doesn't hate her, but if Kaoru my younger sister and Megumi me and my sister me House exploding, I figured, hey, my sister and I get along once in a blue moon, Kaoru and Megumi do the same thing. So, here we are.

That made no sense. ()
