YAY! Another Chappie! Thanks to my reviewers. –Sniff- luv y'all. Well – good reviews so far, hope this one brings more!

Sanosuke: Why am I here?

Schweppes: Because you are. Do you have a problem with this? -evil glare-

Sanosuke: NO!

Disclaimer: I do not, in any way own Ruruoni Kenshin. If I did, Sanosuke would be in the sauna with Kenshin and... there would be "sound effects" Oo

Notes: (AN), 'thoughts', -action-

Well, on with the fic!!

Last time: Kenshin walked back into the room. Sanosuke couldn't help but stare.

"Sanosuke... it looks like you're feeling better now." Kenshin noticed.

"Yeah, I guess I am."

"Are you sure you're okay? You sound spaced off, that you do."

"Huh? Oh, I was just thinking." Sanosuke slapped Kenshin on the back, "You shouldn't worry."

OO "Oro?" Kenshin snapped out of his little trance, "Well, um... I'm going to go help make that fish for lunch."

"Mmmm! Fish! I'm starved!" Sanosuke said.

Kenshin chuckled and walked out the door to the Kaoru's nagging voice. "Kenshin! Where di–"

Sanosuke got out of bed, "YAAAAWN! (As he's stretching) Well, Shimoni... what should we do now?" He was talking to the squirrel.

Shimoni chirped and ran out the door. Sanosuke was taking his time before going out, but a screech stopped him.

"Shimoni, is that you?!" He was frantically looking around for his squirrel friend, hoping nothing happened to her.

He kept looking, until he came upon a squirrel that looked like a horse trampled on it or something of the kind.

"Shimoni! Are you okay?" She must have been unconscious, because she hadn't answered with her usual chirp.

Sanosuke realized that she should see a doctor of some kind, before she ends up dying. So he raced her over to Dr. Gensai.

"Dr. Gensai! This squirrel looks like it was trampled, so I brought her here." Sanosuke was panting.

"No need to hurry." He inspected her, "Nothing very bad. Just give her a lot of food and water and she'll be fine."

Sanosuke nodded and left the room, 'I wonder what Sigara would do at a time like this.'

-Flashback-

Little Sanosuke is running through a forest. He has a scared look on his face, like he's being chased. He then trips on a stump, falling into what looks like a tiger trap, bumping his head on the way.

He started to scream in pain, Enishi, a child that of just 13 years was the one chasing him.

"Enishi, why are you doing this!?" Sanosuke screamed at him.

"That is for me to know." Enishi laughed evilly. He threw a rock down at Sanosuke and walked away, leaving the little Sanosuke stranded in the pit.

He lay on the ground in the fetal position, accepting his defeat, waiting for death to take its toll. When he fell asleep, he fell into a dreamless slumber.

But, once he had awakened, he found that he didn't remember anything. He hadn't remembered how he got there, or, most important, who he was.

It seemed like he was in there for days, or hours, never exactly knowing what time it was on account of always falling asleep or fainting because of his weakness from when he had been stabbed.

Eventually, someone had found him. It was a man, who had looked really tall from the pit. He had longish blue/black hair with a red bandanna. He was wearing a blue shirt with a red coat over top of it, a sword to his side.

"Sanosuke, I've been looking for you!" The man yelled down.

"Huh? Who's Sanosuke, and who are you?" the little Sanosuke was confused.

"What? Did you hit your head?" He said it with such a sweet voice.

"Ummm... I don't remember, I just woke up and I was in this pit."

The man had a worried look on his face, "I'll be right back, I'm going to go get some help so I can get you out of there."

"Okay, I've been in here long enough. I guess I can wait a couple more minutes." He flinched as he was saying this and gripped his arm, for it was covered with blood. The man didn't notice this, for he had gone already.

Little Sanosuke just smiled and had fainted one last time.

When he had woken up, he was in a bed, that man sitting next to him. He seemed to notice that Sanosuke had wakened.

"Nice to see you're finally awake, you've been asleep for a couple of hours." He pointed to the clock.

"Oh... um, just who are you and where am I? Who am I?" Little Sano had a really confused look on his face, he had no clue what was going on.

"Oh yes. I'm Sagara, you call me Captain Sagara. You... you are Sanosuke, but I call you Sano-chan." Sagara was smiling.

"But you didn't answer my other question."

"What was that again?" Sagara asked.

"It was, where am I?" Sanosuke was eager to find out.

"We are near Tokyo."

Sanosuke was thinking a bit, and then snapped out of his trance by jumping up and almost hitting Sagara's face. Instead he wrapped his arms around his Captain and hugged him.

"My memory's starting to come back now, Captain!" Sagara just chuckled and mused with Sanosuke's hair.

"Hmm... now that your memory's starting to come back, do you remember what happened that you fell into the pit?" Sagara had a serious tone to his voice.

"Nope, can't say I do." then little Sanosuke ran right out of the room to get some fresh air. As he was leaving he shouted back at Captain Sagara, "By the way, thanks for taking care of me!"

-End Flashback-

'I didn't know that it was Enishi who was the cause of this until I met him that last (Just use your imagination, even if it didn't happen.) Maybe that hit to the head is why I don't remember my parents, I only remembered up to the time after I left my house.'

A weary chirp made Sanosuke jump, "Shimoni! I forgot all about you!"

Sanosuke was walking the whole time and was already at his house. 'That was the year when Kenshin killed Tomoe, Enishi's sister, and that Sagara died.'

He looked down at the squirrel who had her head cocked to the side and chirped when he looked at her.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine. I'm going to make you all better, like Sagara did to me!"
