Episode Five: Enter Sanosuke Sagara!

It was a fact that Misao's apoligy was too soft of a whisper that Soujiro couldn't hear what she said. The young Tenken's head gave a little tilt to his right side. "What did you said? Please speak louder Misao-san, I can't hear a thing you say." He laughed.

"ARRUGH!" Misao pulled away at the bags underneath her eyes in misery. This was more frustrating then thinking how to say sorry it to him. Trying to keep her anger down at a minimum level, Misao turned around, with her back facing Soujiro. Her held her fist in front of her and cursed to herself quietly as she tries to manage her anger. After she was done she turned around and yell, "SOUJIRO! I WAS TRYING TO SAY I AM SOR--! Huh?"

She glared forward as she couldn't believe what she saw. Of all the times to do that, this was the yet, the worse situation to do it in. Soujiro was playing on his blue gameboy advance game right in front of her. Concentrating hard and very much into his game, he didn't even hear Misao's last screams. It looked like he didn't care either.

With a sweatdrop, Misao fell to the ground.

Walking home from school, Megumi Takani didn't go straight home on the route she usually takes. Her house was in need of a few things such as milk, rice, and other things so she decided to stop at the store on her way home. Megumi lived alone ever since she was fifteen-years old because her parents and siblings died when she was five because of a fire in her old home. Fortunately for Megumi she wasn't there when it happened but very unforunate for her to come home finding firemen and firetrucks at her house. She was in tears when she saw the dead burnt bodies of her parents and siblings were carried out by the firemen. After that horrible incident, she moved into her uncle's home. Her uncle was a doctor and so she learned much about medicine while living there. Sadly, yet another tragic happend to Megumi when she reached the age of fifteen. She found out that her uncle was working to make opium to a group of criminals. It was the day that her uncle said he would stop then the bunch of criminals killed him. Having lost another close family member, Megumi believed there was a curse that have been following her ever since she was born. She believed that the curse would kill anyone that she would get close to. Thus from that day on, Megumi swore to herself that she wouldn't get close to another human from that point on. Little did she know that she would at some point of her life.

She walked out of the store carrying a brown paper bag with all her needs for the next couple of weeks. Living alone gave her many responsibility such as food to survive, getting money to pay her apartment's rent, and many other things. Being through all the things in her life and living alone made Megumi grown to be a very mature young lady.

Passing Inori Boulevard, she headed for Aki Street which was a few minutes from her apartment. She lived in Shibuya-ku, one of the busiest wards in Tokyo, so there were crowds of people in big streets. It would take her at least 10 minutes to get to her place since she didn't have a car. Day was turning into night as time passed. Walking into a strange and empty alleyway, Megumi stopped when she heard some noises behind her. It sounded like footsteps. Megumi continued walking again as soon as the sound stopped but a few seconds later she heard it again. This time it didn't stop. She continued to walk but her eyes and ears were on full alert. She had heard news about rapiests in the streets of Shibuya-ku. Since she was in an alleyway, she was a target for those weirdos out there. Her eyes narrowed as she concentrated on where the footsteps was coming from. It was faint but Megumi had very good ears. She started having bad feeling about this...

In the streets of Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, a spikey, brown haired guy wondered down a dark alleyway, whistling to the tune of the Hamtaro theme song. Arms crossed on his chest as if he had no thoughts of worry at all. This stubborn street bandit named, Sanosuke Sagara, was not what you would call an average citizen in Tokyo. With no home, no family, and no money, Sanosuke had lived his life freely on the streets of Tokyo most of his life. Usually got himself into fights and trouble with the police, but he was strong enough to take care of himself. He won in every fight he got himself in and when it came to the cops, he had long, strong legs to run away. His victories in the streets earned him the name of Zanza, and he was feared by many street gangs in Shibuya-ku. Everyone in the criminal world believed he was unhuman and that he was a reincarnation of the devil. What they forget to believe is that Sanosuke was just a regular, rebellious teenager who has troubles of his own. Troubles tn his past that still haunts him in the present.

"You have a wallet full of money in your pocket! Give it to me and I won't cut up your throat and leave you bleeding in these cold, damp streets girl."

"Threatening to kill me? You can't kill me with that little knife of yours. You're just a child waving it around like you think you're dangerous."

"What did you say bitch?! I tried to be nice but I guess you're really itchn' to die--"

"If I wanted to die I would have already commited suicide back then! You can't kill me even if you had a katana with you."

Sanosuke raised an eyebrow as he heard the voices. It sounded like some street thug that's trying to get money from some girl. His curiousity brought him to the scene of the matter. His eyes widen when he saw what he saw. A blacked hair chick beating the crap out of a six feet guy. At first, the guy got pissed off and raised the hand he was carrying his large pocket and was about to slice the girl up into bits. He didn't get his chance because before the knife touched the girl, she dropped down and kicked the guy in the crotch. The guy screamed, of course and reacted to holding the place where he felt pain. He was too busy being hurt that girl stood up and smashed his head into her knee then slammed the girl into a wall. The guy fell easily and was unconcious. No one was there to witness this but Sanosuke. Impressed by this girl's skills, Sanosuke stepped out from behind.

"That was actually good. I thought you'd die easily," he said as he walked towards her.

Megumi turned around and faced him with a fierce face. She picked up the pocket knife that tried to attack her earlier and held it in front of her. It was pointed at Sanosuke. "What are you? His friend?"

Sanosuke chuckled and waved his hands in peace. "Easy. I just happen to walk by and witness this." He looked at the guy on the ground. Sanosuke felt a little sorry for him. "You're kinda mean lady. Where'd ya learn these moves anyways. Don't tell me you have some ancient Chinese master that teaches you kung fu or something," he spoke as he walked over to Megumi's grocery bags. He took out an apple and took a bite out of it. Then, THRAWK! Megumi threw the knife at Sanosuke. Luckily for him, the knife didn't hit him but the apple he was eating. In the center of the apple located the knife; it almost straight through the apple.

"Aah!" He threw the apple in surpise. Megumi was right there to catch it. She stared down at him with her cold expression. "Go get your own food." She picked up her bags and started to walk away.

"Hey, I'm broke!" Sanosuke shouted after.

"Then get a job roosterhead!" Megumi responded to him. Then she disappeared behind the buildings.

Sanosuke smirked. "Heh."

Soujiro sighed. "You didn't have to go and break this Makimachi-san." He sweatdropped as he looked at his shattered gameboy.

Misao crossed her arm and replied, "It wasn't my fault. If you would have tried to listen to what I was going to say then maybe your precious gameboy wouldn't have thrown into the wall and shattered by my hands."

Soujiro looked at her and sighed. "Well, I can listen now. What were you goning say?" The two soon-to-be couples were walking home from their school. Since Soujiro's home was far from this place, he would get a ride home from Misao's house. The two didn't realize what will be happening soon when they get to Misao's home.

"What I was going to say? Heheh...um..." Misao hesitated at first. "I wanted to say...I'm sorry for being evil to you ever since I found out that I was engaged to you." Misao said in a small, small voice.

"What? What did you wanted to say?" Soujiro asked.

"Um...nothing!" Misao quickly tried to cover up. I can't say it... He'll think I'm getting soft on him. Maybe later!

Soujiro smiled and the two had an awkward pause for a few minutes. Then he said, "Apology accepted Makimachi-san."

Huh? Misao's eyes drifted over to Soujiro. She didn't move her head and hoped that her hair would hide her from his sight. She didn't want him to think she was looking at him, even though, she was. He had the same smile on his face. Did he hear what I said before? Freak...y.

"Yeah whatever! You're weird!" Misao replied and looked away.

Soujiro chuckled.

"HEY MISAO!!! SOUJIRO!" Okina came running from their house towards them. He was waving his arms wildly and happily. "GOOD NEWS!"

Misao sweatdropped. Oh great. His great news are my nightmare.

"Guess what you two love birds!" Okina annouced.

Misao had a vein popped.

"What is it Okina-san?" Soujiro asked.

He gave a big smile and he even had rosey circled blushes on his cheeks. "Great news! Soujiro, you are now living with us for one month! You're things will arrive here in," he checked his watch, "Twenty-one minutes, fourty-three seconds, and thirteen nano-seconds."

"What?!" Misao shouted. She could feel the blood being drained from her.

"Shishio-san wanted you two to get to know each other well before you two get married which will be in about five years but we want to get an early start and the same goes to Misao when she goes over to your home, Soujiro so that she can get aquainted with your family and you with our family so that there won't be any awkward moments between our families!" Okina breathed heavily after his long speeceh. "Ah! I need go get your room ready, Soujiro! Ta ta!" And with that Okina rushed back into his home. You could hear crashes and things breaking from inside.

Soujiro and Misao stood there with sweatdrops. Misao started inside, leaving Soujiro standing there.

I knew it! One problem after another, how can I live from now on? I can hardly say get along with him rather than living with him.

"Uh...Makimachi-san? Makimachi-san!" Soujiro shouted after her.

Misao ignored him as she walked away.

"Misao! There's someone here to see you!" Soujiro shouted to her again.

Misao rolled her eyes and turned around to see who it was. She said under her breath, "Who is it again what a bothe--" Ah! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! IT'S AOSHI-SAMA!

Next to Soujiro stood Aoshi Shinomori. He looked the same as always with that cold expression upon his face. Soujiro looked up at him with a sweatdrop. He was a few inches taller than Soujiro. Two or three inches. Aoshi acted as if Soujiro didn't existed. "Where is Okina?" Aoshi spoke in his monotone voice.

Misao smiled brightly and ran up to him. "He's-He's inside. Um...cleaning the house." She didn't want to let Aoshi know about the things that was going on. "What do need Aoshi? Maybe I can help you with it?" Misao said sweetly.

"I only need Okina." Aoshi replied and walked forward.

Misao and Soujiro watched him as he entered Misao's home.

"He's a bit...serious. He's not much of a people-person is he." Soujiro said.

"Yeah but that's what makes him so awesome!" Misao said as she faced Soujiro with glittery eyes. "Don't let him hear that from you or he'll beat you up and send you home with bruises. He's the best apprentice my grandfather ever had and probably the strongest in all of Japan!"

Soujiro smirked. "He is, huh. Interesting. I would like to meet him sometimes."

"Not likely. He doesn't talk to many people. Mostly to Okina so I don't know about you. You can try though but I doubt it. I mean, he hardly talks to me rather to you." Oh Aoshi! One day, I'll confront you and you will talk to me! Sweetly and nice! Misao held her cheeks and blushed as she daydream. Soujiro watched Misao as she had her fantasy. He politely smiled and scratched the back of his neck, wondering when she would be finished.

"Come on!" Misao grabbed onto Soujiro's arm and she ran and pulled him along inside, "Let's go spy on Aoshi and Jiya! I wanna hear if Aoshi mentions me at all."

Soujiro surrendered and let Misao dragged him to wherever she's dragging him to.
