Chappie 14
"What exactly did he tell you, Kenshin?" Kaoru asked him.
"That I could have control," he answered simply.
"What? All the time?" she sounded confused as the words left her mouth.
"Hai..." he started slowly, "Why?"
"Because we came to terms. Me and him. Settled our... past affairs... we straightened out all our problems. We came to a comprimise in the end, one that said both of you could be in control... together," she explained.
"Is he, like, schizophrenic (totally 4 momiji) or something?" Enishi asked, watching her as she talked.
"NO! I just have split personalites," Kenshin defended.
"That's what schizophrenic is, Ken-san," Megumi corrected, coming in, Sano in tow.
"Oro!"
"Don't worry, I won't tell," she winked at him.
"Oro!"
"Would you knock that off!" Enishi demanded, a little tired of the endless string of 'oro's.' Kaoru sighed.
"Hey, Kitsune, why are we here again?" Sano asked, memory failing him.
"To-" she stopped, remembering why they were there, "YOU!"
"Huh?" he asked stupidly.
"You! And your awful proposal!" she screamed.
"Oh?" Kaoru raised a brow, forgetting all about her dismay over the rurouni, "Sano proposed?"
"In the worst way possible, last night," Megumi nodded, pointing at him.
"And you never answered!" he suddenly realized.
"Well, I would have thoguht you would have expected that after the way you humiliated me last night!"
"How the hell did I do that!"
"Come on Kaoru-chan, Misao-chan," she started, "And I'll leave the stupid tori atama to explain how he 'supposedly' proposed last night."
"WHAT!" he asked as the girls disappeared into the closest room.
"So, Sano, how did you propose?" Kenshin asked.
"Che, how any man does it. In front of all my friends," he answered.
"I thought they were your friends," Enishi pointed out.
"I meant all our friends at the Akabeko. I took her out to dinner and then I asked her to marry me. She blushed and then bashed me over the head before running out as if I'd done something wrong!"
"It was awful!" Megumi exclaimed as if her tale were a horrific wone to tell.
"Just say it, Megumi-san," Misao urged, already engrossed in the story.
"Well, he was being rather sweet to me all night, oh the way he touch- I mean took me to dinner at the Akabeko. He'd had quite a bit of sake, it was true, but you know Sano. I didn't really think that he was drunk. Boy was I wrong! He raised his sake saucer and then shouted for the whole restaurant to look our way.
"Then he makes a speech sounded all sophisticated, something along the lines of how wonderful his life had become and how much he loved the Akabeko and promised to pay off his tab. After that he looked at me with glazed eyes, for he was drunk, remember and said:
"Megumi... you are everything to me. The love that we made this afternoon... it was great. I want to show you just how great we can be together. Marry me?
"The jerk! He told the whole Akabeko that we had sex before we were married and they all stared! Even Tae! Although, she did seem happy for us...
"So I hit him over the head and ran out to the clinic in a rage. Can you blame me, though? He did say some other things that shouldn't be repeated in front of little Misao here," she finished angrily, her face a bright red to further prove her fury.
"Wow, totally rude! And he expects you to marry him! After that!" Kaoru asked, agreeing with Megumi.
"Poor Megumi-san..." Misao didn't even object to being called little as she usually did.
"I know... I've never been so embarrassed..." she sighed.
" I'll go get some tea," Kaoru suggested, heading out of the room.
"Thank you," Megumi said as Kaoru nodded and left.
"Oi! Sano!" Kaoru called, coming out of the room, armed with a bokken and considered extremely dangerous.
"Y-yeah?" he eyed her bokken that was being raised behind his head wearily.
"YOU DON'T PROPOSE TO A WOMAN DRUNK!" she screamed, attacking his chicken head, "AND YOU DON'T MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'VE ALREADY HAD SEX TO A WHOLE FREAKING RESTAURANT!" Clearly she'd had no intention of getting tea...
"Aghhhhh!" he yelled, fleeing from her bokken as Kenji started crying. With a sigh, Kenshin got up to get the baby, knowing was far too busy to do so.
"I can't believe that he did that to poor Megumi-san..." Misao shook her head as she headed towards Aoshi, watching as Kaoru gave Sano new bumps and bruises she doubted Megumi would be able to fix.
"He's so awful..." Megumi gave a dramatic sniff.
"Oi! Kitsune! Tell her to leave me alone! I don't wanna die!"
"SHUT UP AND SUBMIT TO ME!" Kaoru answered for Megumi. (kitty!)
"He didn't even pay for dinner," Megumi added to her sob story, "Put it on his tab."
"Oro, we should be a little quieter," Kenshin came back out from Kenji's room.
"Oh!" Kaoru exclaimed, leaving the broken and bleeding Sano on the ground and rushed over, "I'm sorry, did oka wake you up?"
"She's so good at that sort of thing," Misao observed, sighing in obvious envy.
"She is. I think it had something to do with practiacally raising me," Yahiko mused, having reappeared.
"Oh, I forgot about you. Hey, where are my clothes?" she suddenly remembered, looking down at the yukata she wore.
"Oh, those? I put them back in your room before you started chasing me," he replied with a shrug.
"WHAT! They were in my room, all this time?"
"That's what I said."
"Nap time, Kenji," Kaoru whispered as his tired little baby eyes fell shut again.
"Kaoru?"
"Hmm?" she answered, laying Kenji down.
"About..." he started only to be stopped my Kaoru's hand.
"Don't. If he wants to be this way, then I won't object... I have you, do I not?" she pointed out.
"Aa," he responded. (like aoshi-sama!)
"Then I don't see anything wrong with that, do you?"
"No," he smiled and pulledher closer to him, "In fact I don't see anything wrong at all, that I don't," he added playfully.
"You smooth talker, you," she teased as she placed her mouth over his in a gentle caress.
"That I am," he mumbled going to deepen the kiss, "That I am."
