I really hope this chapter makes up for the neglect of Sano and Megumi. I also hope it satisfies all you scary SxM fans out there! Enjoy.
Kenshin, Sano, and Kaoru made their way down the stairs, Kaoru sliding downward on the railing, Kenshin and Sano jogging down the steps.
"Come on, I think we're almost there!" The only female jumped off the railing and leaned on the metal door.
"Gosh, Jou-chan, where the heck do you get so much energy?"
"Shhhh shut up rooster head." Kaoru whispered slapping Sano lightly.
Megumi came in on the microphone. "Hey guys, answer me."
"Megumi, I thought you were dead, and I was so upset. I was afraid you really got your throat slit and only Kami-sama knows how that tore my heart. You wanted to travel remember? So... I mean.... just don't die... okay?" Sano said quite rapidly.
"Hello? Oh well, I guess your microphones don't work, so you can only hear me." Megumi let out a sigh. Kaoru giggled seeing Sano fall over, practically confessing his love for her friend, but she wasn't capable of hearing it. "Listen, I can see the monitors Shishio is watching. Soujiro is still fighting Aoshi and Misao, but they are injured really badly. Oh guys, I'm so scared, I...I don't want to take this mission anymore, not if it costs your lives."
Sano was virtually crying. Kaoru had to smack him on the head. "Suck it up, baka!"
"I... don't want to cry." They could hear the older woman sniff and run her hand across her features. "Okay, well, Shishio is moving. I think he knows you guys are coming; I can see you in the monitor. Oh, Sano, what did you do to your stupid hand?! Listen, he's picking up his sword. Hurry up, and don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Kaoru smiled. "It's so like Megumi to act all tough." She turned around to come across Kenshin, but he wasn't in their world with her anymore. His eyes were completely amber, narrowed in slits and an aura of supremacy around him. "Ken...Kenshin?"
"He's close."
Megumi's rapid breathing ceased as she began talking once more. "Hey, he stopped walking... I wonder what... AH!" The microphone began to screech painfully in their ears as the tumbling and clashes were muffled through the system.
Sano roared, "Megumi! Meg, what is it?"
"Oh, so you did wake up. I knew a sneaky little bitch like you wouldn't just sit there and do nothing." The silky baritone voice cooed.
"You get off me, Shishio! No, get...!" Suddenly the line went dead, making Kaoru uneasy.
"Come on guys! Let's go." Sano kicked the door open before Kaoru could reach the handle. "You idiot, I could have opened the door. You don't have to break ALL the damn doors open."
"Come on Jou-chan, Kenshin, let's get Megumi." Sano growled ignoring Kaoru. Kaoru noted that he and Kenshin were focused on saving her friend. Sano's eyes were rigid as steel, disturbingly so it almost seemed like staring straight into the depths of a nightmare. Kenshin was silent and attentive, eyes always scanning the room. She felt her heart throbbing to try and comfort them. All of them: Sano, Kenshin, Megumi, Aoshi, and Misao... she was getting everyone into this jumble... Soujiro was precise.
If it had not been her asking for this opportunity, all her friends would be out of harm's way. Megumi would not be with a psycho maniac, Misao and Aoshi would not be battling their ex comrade, Sano would not act so unusually out of character and Kenshin. Oh Kenshin... Kaoru thought bitterly. This was her responsibility... he was risking his life to save them all. He was transforming into a side she's never seen before slowly with every battle their came across. Kenshin... Kenshin would be saved if it was not for her selfish ways.
"I'm sorry." She spoke quietly to herself.
"What?" Her head snapped up to find those amber eyes softening slightly for her. "Why are you remorseful, Kaoru-dono?"
"It's all my fault that... we are all here. Everyone could be safe right now, but no." She leaned against a partition gripping her wooden sword tightly to her torso. "I had to drag everyone here and now I don't know if we will even make it!" Kaoru began crying harshly, trying not to let the tears drop down her porcelain face. "Kenshin, I don't want you to turn into battousai, I want you to be happy because... I care..." She rubbed her face into the smooth part of her weapon. "Now I'm crying."
Kenshin put a tender hand on her shoulder and smirked. "You know... I am glad I am here, that I am. Kaoru-dono, you have shown me a way of living, of protecting. I was always thinking what was my purpose? Why am I doing this? But now I know. This one is here... for you. You are making this one happy even now that you are." He lifted her chin up to sweep her tears away. He smiled, but released himself from her face as if touching fire. "I am sorry; I should not have done that that I should not."
Kaoru bit her lip, her sapphire eyes dancing with uncertainty. "Kenshin..." She leaned in slightly, closer and closer to his prepared lips. Her eye lashes tickled his cheek as Kenshin began to liquefy into her innocent gesture. Closer and closer...
Sano turned to the pair and smacked Kenshin on the head. "Save it for later, there's no time for that!" Kenshin and Kaoru fell over with their eyes gigantic and wide. Kaoru blushed and narrowed her eyes.
"Sano is right. My duty as a leader is to bring about justice and protect my comrades. Megumi needs our help right now, and that's what I'm going to do! Let's go guys!"
The three ran through what seemed like an endless hallway of doors. "Damn him! Do we have to play these games all the time?" Sano muttered. What was happening to him? Just the other week he was a free spirit. He had no attachments to anyone, just looking for a good brawl. Now... he was just the opposite. He never felt so scared in his life. Megumi's existence was at stake at the moment and here he was running in circles trying to find his way through a labyrinth of doors. He'd found himself warming up to the sarcastic woman... sure they argued but it didn't mean he hated her. She was chaste with not a mark on her, how could Shishio think about harming such a lively spirit? She was elegant and cultured... the total opposite of his gruff self. Yet, the ex gangster found himself always looking forward to her smiling face every time she'd saunter into the office. He was a monster back then, constantly looking for revenge. Before he'd met Kenshin and Aoshi, most people shunned him, spat on his good name. He was a street punk saved by his friends who gave him a new profession and a new start. Still...
She'd done nothing truly disgraceful to him.
"We are lost. There's no use hiding it." Sano pointed out. "I was never good with directions..."
"No." Sano turned to his leader, whose eyes were still swirling in amber. "Listen." They all stopped for a moment in silence. Then, they heard it, a soft 'boom'. "Follow that sound." Before they knew it, Kenshin took off full rapidity.
"Wait! Kenshin!" Kaoru called. She and Sano weren't as fast as him, but Sano ended up grabbing her by the waist.
"Don't slow us down, Jou-chan." They continued to listen to the booming noses that were getting louder. They turned the corner and finally saw the redhead. "Oi, Kenshin." Kenshin turned around to stare at Sano. The sounds suddenly bunged no blast emerging from the area again.
Kaoru shoved Sano away from her, and pointed her wooden sword at the two males, waving it roughly like a pointer. "Listen, Megumi is the one making those noises; she most likely brought her bombs with her. Sano, you go get Megumi while I distract Shishio. Kenshin, you take him down once Megumi and Sano are out. I will go back and look for Aoshi and Misao. And Sano? We don't need a grandiose entrance this time so don't hammer the door down." They nodded at the little demanding woman. What a challenging little woman. She turned the handle of the door and the three of them glanced within preparing themselves for the sight before them.
Megumi was tied up again, this time with her mouth bound. As Shishio leered down at her, holding the bombs in his hand he hissed between his teeth, "Ah, so you finally arrived, good. This woman was crazy enough to try and blow me up with these bombs, but don't worry, I've got a better plan." The bandaged mummy finally turned fully towards the three grinning.
"So we finally meet. You're other ninja friends defeated Soujiro. Such a pity, the boy was good too. They made him weak, so naturally after I leave, I will kill him. They are making their way here as we speak."
"Shishio! You leave him and our friend alone!" Kaoru yelled menacingly. She took a step towards him, but he raised a hand to stop her.
"Ah, no, no little girl, I wouldn't do that. You see, you're friend here is strapped to a bomb. It is set to go off in exactly twenty minutes. There is no way you alone can beat me in twenty minutes." He smirked lowering his head slightly. "I could beat you in five."
She growled and took another step forward glancing at Sano who was beginning to sneak away. Kaoru grounded herself raising her weapon between her eyes. "Don't you tell me what I can and what I can't do!" Shishio again smirked. "What the heck is so funny you washed up piece of toilet paper?"
"Miss. Kamiya, I'm sure you know of your friends. Am I right? Makamachi was a prostitute, and Takani killed the brother of Sagara Sanosuke." Megumi held her breath eyes widening in horror. "And you, Miss. Kamiya, did you not tell your friends your own twisted past?"
Kaoru flinched. "How... how do you know about Megumi and Misao...?"
"I also..." Shishio held a manila folder in his gloved hand. "...do my research. Such a shame you know. Makamachi seems so carefree even with a burden of selling herself to men on her shoulders. And how ironic how Sagara finally gets to meet the murderer of his brother, let alone... fall in love with her." He tilted his head back and laughed maliciously. "Bwahaha! I was also absolutely delighted to find your own dirt at my finger tips, Kamiya."
"My past doesn't matter!" She said with all the confidence she had. Kenshin glared at Shishio, but still a bit curious about Kaoru...
"Oh yes it does. But wait, you can't remember your past, hmm?" He said stressing the word remember. "Do you not remember...Battousai?"
Kenshin's eyes narrowed further. "No. No I do not. Our pasts do not concern these matters, Shishio so drop it."
Shishio put a hand to his forehead rubbing it. "I can't believe this; it's like talking to a monkey. I don't know any other way to say this delicately, not that I'd want to so let me just come out and say it. Kamiya, Battousai, you two are brother and sister. Shocking yes? And I do believe you were doing things brothers and sister don't normal do..."
Kaoru's whole body went ridged and Kenshin's did too. "WHAT?" They both yelled simultaneously.
Kaoru turned to Kenshin. "But Shishou is..."
"...my father!" Kenshin said at the same time Kaoru did. They paled and suddenly felt a bit sick.
Shishio on the other hand was laughing. "Haha! Now you all come through! All you're little secrets I know. Don't hide them from me... like you could in the first place." Kaoru's face began to heat up.
"How dare you. HOW DARE YOU! Don't lie to us! Don't listen to him, Kenshin. He is playing with our minds!" She lost her plan, and ended up charging towards Shishio herself. She headed straight on, but Shishio pulled out his own sword. They exchanged blows, while Kenshin tried to get Shishio to look at him, and not Kaoru.
"She...she's my sister..." he muttered while watching Kaoru soar around the room. "But...this can't be..." Kenshin reminisced on the past week. The woman was growing onto him, but still he held himself back from doing anything intimate. Was...was this why? It hit him like a ton of bricks. He preferred to live the lie, have that happy ending where he'd be able to be with Kaoru... That lie was so much better than the truth. His head began to pound. It couldn't be... it just could not happen! They could not be related because she was the sun in his life. Let alone, he grew up as an only child and didn't look anything like the angel he'd come to know. She brought something new into his world. He wanted to be friends with her, maybe even... more. No! Don't think like that! Kenshin scolded himself mentally. It's just your imagination! But... what about all those times? Is it possible? Possible that...
"I'm in love with Kaoru-dono."
Meanwhile, Megumi tried desperately to release her bindings around her wrists. The bomb was sitting right next to her, her most powerful explosive she'd ever created, was about to go off in fifteen minutes. She rubbed it and kicked it, but the bindings were not coming loose.
"Hey fox." She whirled to her right and there Sano was crouching over her.
"Mmphfm!" (Sanosuke!) She felt relief flood through her as if her heart would explode. Megumi only wanted to feel his arms wrap around her and take her away from this agony. She almost felt like a princess in a fairy tale. The knight in shining armor would come save her and whisk her away on a valiant pallid horse. He would give her a astounding smile and take away her breath. The moment would last forever as they stared intensely at one another. She felt her face feel warm as such a thought. Finally a familiar face that would comfort her: Sanosuke. Suddenly the warm fuzzy feeling shattered into a million pieces. She went cold, the shiver hitting her to the core. His eyes...the usually warm chocolate were glaring daggers at her.
"I don't know if I should let you free now. You held back on me, fox. What was all that crap about 'A team is built on trust, so we can cooperate better'? Do you think I don't listen well? Do you think I'm really that dim-witted?" Megumi closed her eyes shut.
No...no I'm so sorry Sano, I didn't want to hurt you! But I was so selfish...I liked you, but when I heard your last name, I panicked...oh I'm so sorry...I couldn't bear to tell you. That day in the field when you kept me company... just the sound of your brother's name on your lips made me die just a little more. Made the pain just a little sharper. Made the world turn just a little slower. Oh Sanosuke, what did I do? You are always so pure and here I am... the one who destroyed it all for you. She thought weeping uncontrollably.
Sano watched her shake wildly. "Stop crying!" He punched the wall right new to her head. "So that's it hua? You sit there and cry? Crying won't get you anywhere! Suck it up you wimp!" He was becoming furious. "I cried for you. I thought you were DEAD. I fought my heart out for you, but you fucking betray me! You killed my brother! Now I wish you were dead. You really are a sneaky fox, Megumi. I don't even know who you are. I came to know a fake, a big fake. Congratulations."
No, let me explain Sano...it was an accident, I was still a pupil, I was still learning! She thought.
She opened her eyes hot tears running down her face. She shook and threw her head in the direction of her purse. "Mmfum." (Open it.)
"What; is there a bomb in there? I see, you want to blow me up too." She shook her head no, but kept throwing her head in the direction of her purse. Sano sighed and got it and opened it finding the usual things in a woman's purse, except bombs of course.
"I don't get it." Megumi's eyes fell on a piece of paper, as did Sano's. He pulled it out, unfolding it. It caught his breath. It was a photo of his brother and a young Megumi standing close to each other smiling. She wore those goggles she always did while doing research on the computer, and her brother had an arm wrapped around her. Turning it over it read:
To Katsu-sensei, Happy Birthday--You're student, Megumi-chanHe looked up at Megumi who nodded her head. "You...you were his student? You... killed your own teacher?" Megumi became frustrated and glanced at the bomb. Thirteen minutes to go and they were wasting time. Sano looked at the bomb also and jumped up shoving the picture back into her purse. "Whatever, I may not like you, Megumi but you have a lot of explaining to do." Sano ripped the bomb off of her, and dropped it. He hauled Megumi over his shoulder, and glanced at Kaoru now fighting Shishio.
Megumi shut her eyes closed wiping her left over tears on Sano's shoulder. So much for a fairy tale rescue. Here she was being tossed like a sack of potatoes over her knight in shining armor's shoulder while he couldn't even look her straight in the eye. Wasn't it her fault? Didn't she really kill his only brother? Her only teacher? She wanted to disappear, crawl under a rock and die.
Sano glanced one more time at the female leader and Kenshin. The duo looked very shook up, but dismissed it remembering his orders from Kaoru. "Since when do I take orders from women anyway?" He muttered chuckling to himself. Megumi heard this and kicked him in the face. "OW! Okay okay, fine whatever." Sano charged around the fight between Kaoru and Shishio and ran into the hallway, back tracking through the endless maze.
Suddenly an alarm sounded, making more guards show up in the lengthy corridor they were back tracing. "Damnit, where the hell do these guys COME from?!"
"Mmmfummm!" (Release me!)
"No way fox."
"Mmmfumfu?!" (You can understand me?)
"Duh!"
"MMFUMMMMFFF!" (WELL TAKE THESE BINDINGS OFF OF ME, YOU IDIOT ROOSTER SO I CAN HELP YOU!)
He set her down, tore away the bindings on her arms and legs, then ripped the duct tape off her mouth earning a scream from Megumi. Megumi held her mouth hissing in pain. She glared at him, but took her purse and slipped her goggles onto her face, the shiny glass reflecting light.
"Stand back, Sano, and watch for the fireworks. It's too bad I missed everything." She grinned and placed her rings made of flint on both index and middle fingers. Megumi smirked while pulling two bombs into her ready hands. She released the two miniature bombs in the hallway, clearing a section of guards. "So I'm going to have to go out... with a bang. Oohohohoho!"
"You ARE crazy!" Sano yelled while following Megumi, who was laughing and throwing bombs all over the hallway. She'd been waiting for a moment like this for only heavens know how long. Even though she and Sano had tension... she still had the urge to protect him. For the one she loved most she couldn't do the same. She hid behind the fox-like smile nevertheless.
"You can decide that when we get out of here! You're fists are in no condition to do anything right now, just let me take care of this!" She yelled over her shoulder. "Sano, I may have accidentally killed your brother, something I totally regret, but I never make the same mistake again. I loved your brother rooster-head; he was my world, my inspiration, even my friend!"
Sano didn't say anything, but his mind was running through what she said. "Fine, but we are going to talk, Fox!" He yelled over all the booming noises. Megumi smiled to her self, happy he was on talking terms at least.
"Stop there, you wretch!" A band of guards came up behind Megumi, but she twirled around Sano, and placed a bomb in the unsuspecting member of the group.
She pretended to look down her dress as the men ogled her curvy form. She pouted seductively and fanning herself. "I seemed to have lost my bomb... oh there it is!" She pointed at the man who found it sitting in his back pocket. "Oh, silly me! Guess you can keep it now, ta-ta!" The bomb went off in a smoke screen as Megumi pulled Sano away.
Another ban of minions made their way in front of the duo, blocking their path. One charged at Sano, but Megumi cut him off by slipping her body in between the stranger and Sano. She rammed her elbow into his gut, and then punched him out to the left. Another one came up to her right throwing out a punch. The fighting woman read his attack like the back of her hand. She twirled around Sano once again, leaving him to watch the blur of red spin around making his eyes cross at how fast she was moving. He had no idea she had such training. She appeared behind the next victim in the blink of an eye, grabbing hold of his arm and twisting it behind him painfully. Guess Kaoru does prepare her team for pretty much anything... he thought with a smile. Another guard jumped on top of Sano, but was no match for the ex gangster. Sano simply threw him like a diminutive bug at a crowd of other guards, all of them falling in a domino effect.
Meanwhile, Megumi tightened her grip on the prey. "Tisk tisk. Didn't your mother teach you not to hit girls?"
"Ha, you could have fooled me." He mocked. Megumi frowned at this.
"I could say the same for you." She focused all her energy into her legs and gave a sharp kick to the man's back, throwing him at another flock of minion. "You fight like a schoolboy. Ohoho!" She caught Sano standing to the side rubbing his hands.
"Hey, are you...?"
"I'm fine, let's just keep going." He answered softly. They reached the end of the hallway, but some guards were still up.
"You're just in time for the party." She pulled out a cylinder shaped bomb and lit it, throwing it up into the ceiling. Her cool psyche shone through the terrified men now referring to her as 'the demon fox' amongst themselves. "Here's my big finally. Hope you enjoyed the show!" The bomb blew up instantly and caved in, trapping the guards, Shishio, Kenshin, and Kaoru all on the other side. With a cloud of dust, everything fell silent.
"Funny, I don't like parties." A new deep voice said behind Sano and Megumi.
They twisted around to find Aoshi with Misao collapsed on his back.
"Aoshi! Misao!" Sano said running over to them. "What happened?"
"I was sliced in the back, and Misao was already in pain before the fight so she's loosing blood and fast."
Megumi rushed to aid Misao, but realized she couldn't see very well in the dim room. She felt Misao's pulse, relieved to find it was still normal. The doctor began walking back up the stairwell. "Listen we have to get out of here. A bomb is going to go off in about eight minutes, and it's powerful enough to blow up half this estate."
"Kenshin and Kaoru are still down there fighting Shishio though!" Sano bellowed. "How can we even trust you!? Why did you block off the only way they were going to get out?"
Aoshi fell silent as tension emerged between the two. Megumi looked down; obviously hurt by the scornful tone Sano was yelled at her in. She couldn't help but understand how angry Sano was. How could anymore trust her again? She had to figure it out... but later... as soon as she could get everyone out of danger.
Megumi sighed pausing in the middle of the stair well. "Sano, you know Kaoru, Misao and I always developed research and plans. Don't you think we make up back up plans too? You... you will just have to trust me." Her face dropped, but she began trotting up the stairs again red dress swishing behind her.
Aoshi carefully slid Misao onto Sano's back to relieve some pain on him. The four associates made their way up into the stairwell, and back into the empty room. "There is a trap door right here, Soujiro said. We can escape faster through here." Aoshi directed holding Misao's backside since Sano's hands were too weak to hold her.
Megumi nodded and snapped her two fingers again to ignite the bomb. She quickly placed it on the lock of the trap door and it blew the lock away. The bomb caved in most of the other area, a bit of the ceiling hitting Sano on the head.
"OW!" He lost grip of Misao who nearly fell down to the first story along with all the bits of the ceiling. "Misao!" Aoshi, quick as lighting, reached to grab Misao in the nick of time by the sash and quickly retrieved the girl while her sash unraveled floating down. Sano looked down, to find the small blue blur get lost under all the boards. "Oh, Kami, Misao! Misao, I'm sorry I didn't mean..." He tilted to the left but realized the platform they were all standing on too was beginning to collapse.
Megumi held his wrist. "What are you doing you idiot? Apologize later we've got to get off this rickety hall." Sano began looking worriedly from Aoshi and Megumi and back. "Shinomori, it's okay. Misao is still a little dazed so don't blame Sano for anything right now." Sano stared at the back of Megumi's head in disbelief. How could she... the murdered of his brother... be so compassionate to him? She nearly saved his skin back there, and never raised her voice at him. The whole time he had been the one getting defensive but she seemed to accept what she'd done. Why wasn't she acting cruel or mad at him like everyone else usually did? Takani Megumi definitely was a unique woman.
She then rammed her elbow into the door trying to make it budge open. After a few futile attempts, it opened when the doctor kicked the door open, and Megumi let them all pass by her. The open air felt good on their hot sweaty or bloody skin.
Sano knelt on the ground eyes slightly widened. "Oh, I let her go...I let her go! I could have..."
"I promised Misao... I'd keep her safe. Even from butterfingers like you." Aoshi glared, razor-sharp eyes burning furiously at his friend but he knew it wasn't his fault. It wasn't anyone's fault. Taking a deep breath he tried to control his raging emotions. "Excuse me... this is stressing on all of us. Misao is just..." Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, Misao stirred slightly.
"Hey, how long was I out?" She grumbled tasting the dried blood caking her mouth.
"Wow, pretty strong weasel we've got here." Sano scoffed.
"Misao! You need to rest." Megumi scolded turning into doctor mode. The young ninja slapped her hand away though while standing up.
"No, I'm fine Megumi. Our duty is to help our team leaders. Not just Kaoru and Himura's comrades... but as their friends..." She shook her head staggering over to Megumi.
Aoshi's heart tensed up knowing Misao was well enough to stand alone. Yet, realized something. "Wait. This isn't the trap door Misao found. That one we found was by the mote while right now we are in the very front of the building."
"Let's not waste time. So, where does the other trap door lead?" Megumi's eyes brightened up.
"You found plan B." Sano turned around and looked sorrowful at Megumi. He, Misao, Aoshi and Megumi began running back to the far end of the estate to find the other trap door. As they sprinted, which was difficult for Megumi and Misao who wore heals, not to mention Misao had been knocked out already, Megumi prayed for a miracle to pull them through this one. She looked down at her watch reading they only had eight minutes till the bomb went off. "Please, let them make it out. Please."
