Jasmine: Okay…here's chappie two…they aren't related to each other, by the way. They are just different scenarios with songs by the same band. Oh, and no one's singing this time.
Megumi: Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhu!!! I'm in this one, aren't I?
Sanosuke: ::Chewing on a fish bone:: Ugh…romance, who needs it?
Jasmine: ::Wolf grin::
Megumi: ::Fox grin::
Sanosuke: ::Wishing he could get away from two very scary women::
Jasmine: Ahem…well, anyways, these fics are my tribute to the Beatles. Rock on, forever, boys. I don't own any of their songs…or Saito…or Rurouni Kenshin.
To The Green Eyed Floozy: BWAHAHAHAHA!!! That's for me to know, and for you to never find out!! ::Grin:: This one had this story already typed up at her dad's house, so she was able to post it without trouble…and without re-typing it…and she has just one thing to say to you!! ::Sticks out tongue:: Nya!!
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
The Long And Winding Road::The long and winding road::
Sagara Sanosuke grit his teeth and backed away slowly, hitting the alley wall with a thump. He was trapped. How the heck do I always get myself into these messes?
::That leads…to… your door::
"Heh heh…Zanza, fighter for hire, we meet again!" An ugly-looking man smirked, displaying his mottled yellow teeth. Four other men flanked him on each side, and all bore some form of a knife.
::Will never disappear::
Sano knew that he was in way over his head. He looked around, searching for an escape route, but could find none. Aw crap, looks like I'm gonna have ta' fight my way out…
::I've seen that road before::
One of the men lunged, and Sanosuke didn't have enough time to react. He felt the blade slash down his left arm and he grimaced in pain.
::It always leads me here::
Sano knew he was in trouble. He slammed his fist down onto the guy's head, and the man hit the ground like a rock. This move caused the others to yell out in anger. Oh shit…this is bad…
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
::Lead me…to…your door::
Takani Megumi sighed and wiped away the sweat that had formed on her forehead. Ugh…that surgery took so long…She was so horribly exhausted. In fact, she couldn't remember when she had been wearier. The fox doctor stepped outside of the clinic and sank to the ground. At least the night is nice and cool…Megumi thought, closing her heavy eyes and sighing.
::The wild and windy night::
"Meg…umi…" A quiet voice called, startling the said doctor into gasping out loud.
::That the rain…washed away::
"Wh-who's there? I'm warning you, I have a friend that---"
::Has left a pool of tears::
"It's…me…It's…Sa…no…"
::Crying for the day::
Megumi rolled her eyes and sat back down. "Sanosuke! You almost gave me a heart attack! Where are you? Come out of hiding!"
::Why leave me standing here?::
Sanosuke stumbled out of the shadows clutching his abdomen. "Good…it's…nice to…know…that I…can still scare you…" The spiky-haired gambler grinned tiredly. He knew he had lost a lot of blood, and had no idea as to how he had managed to make it to Megumi before he passed out.
::Let me know…the way::
Megumi stared at Sanosuke, shocked to see him in such a state.
::Many times…I've been alone…and many times…I've cried::
Sano's head reeled, and black spots danced before his eyes. "I…just wanted…to see you…before…" He collapsed to the ground with a sigh, never finishing his sentence.
::Anyway…you'll never know…the many ways…I've tried::
"SANOSUKE!!!"
::And still they lead me back::
The fox doctor ran over to the prone form of the spiky-haired gambler, her exhaustion completely forgotten.
::To the long…winding road::
"Sanosuke, wake up! Wake up!" Megumi shook him. "Sanosuke?" She brought her hand back and saw that it was covered in blood.
::You left me standing here…a long, long time ago::
"Dr. Gensai! It's Sanosuke! I need help!" The fox doctor frantically ran back to the clinic, calling the doctor's name as loud as she could.
::Don't keep me waiting here::
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
"There…that should do it…"
::Lead me to…your door::
"Thank you for helping, Dr. Gensai." Megumi sighed and looked down at the spiky-haired gambler in concern. He hadn't moved once since the two doctors had dragged him onto a futon. "You're so pale…what happened to you, Sanosuke?" She asked out loud, not expecting a response.
::But don't leave me waiting here::
"Got…in a fight…heh heh…"
The fox doctor gasped. "S-Sanosuke! You…you…"
Sano opened one eye and looked around. "Wow…I can't believe…I made it to the clinic…heh…"
::Lead me to…your door::
"YOU JERK!!" Megumi brought back her fist and bopped Sano on the head. "You had me worried sick!"
::Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…::
"Ouch! Sheesh fox, ya' didn't have ta' hit me so hard…"
Megumi swallowed hard against the tears that threatened to clog her throat. "You jerk…I can't believe you!"
"Aww…come on, Megitsune! At least I managed to beat the guys before they could kill me!" Sano looked at the fox doctor in concern. "Are you okay, Megumi?"
Unbeknownst to her, the tears had already fallen and were making salty tracks down her face. "I'm…fine, Sanosuke. But you…you are an inconsiderate jerk that doesn't care for mine or anyone else's feelings!" Megumi pushed herself off of the floor and glared down at the spiky-haired gambler.
Sano blinked up at her. "But I…what?"
"What I'm getting at here, you moron, is…I HATE YOUR GUTS!!" And, with that, Megumi turned and stalked out of the clinic.
"Megitsune!! Wait! Hold on!" Sanosuke struggled to pull himself up, and winced when the bandages rubbed against his wounds. He ignored them, got up, and ran after Megumi. "What do you mean by that? What did I do?!"
The fox doctor stopped and turned around angrily. "WHAT DID YOU DO?! I'll tell you what you did!!! You got into a fight, got horribly injured, managed to make it to the clinic, scared me half to death, passed out, and…" Megumi turned her head to avoid looking into his chocolate-brown eyes. "I thought…you were going to…die. I've never been so…afraid. I hate it! I hate that you can make me have those feelings! I hate it that…that I know you're just going to get hurt again…and make me worry even more. And I don't understand…why you?! Why does it have to be you?! Why isn't it Sir Ken? He at least can be…loving…but…I managed…to fall for someone like you, Sagara Sanosuke…and I hate it…" Megumi stared sadly at the ground, not even trying to hide her tears that fell, sparkling like liquid gems.
Sanosuke was totally and utterly shocked. He was shocked beyond belief. He was shocked into standing there, his eyes wide, mouth gaping, and voice not working. Finally, he managed to cough and clear his throat. "Megumi, you actually…are you serious?"
The fox doctor merely nodded mutely.
The spiky-haired gambler grinned widely. "Well, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Wh-what?"
"Megitsune…Megumi…I love you too…for a long time, in fact…" Sanosuke slowly closed the gap between them and lifted Megumi's astonished face to his. "Ever since…I first saw you. I just never knew what to say. I thought it was anger, a need to make you repent for the Opium crisis…but…now I know that it was something more…that it is something more…"
A sob tore through the fox doctor's throat. "How…do I know that you're telling me…the truth?" But she knew he couldn't be lying. His eyes were so warm upon her, and his smile felt like it was melting her heart.
"There's only one way…"

Dr. Gensai grinned at the kissing couple. Ah…to be young again… The old doctor turned and stared down the path leading away from the clinic. They will take many roads together, this I am sure of…but this first one will be long, and it will wind through many other paths, but… Dr. Gensai sighed. I should write down these musings…I could make money off of them! And, chuckling, the old doctor strolled back through the clinic door and left Sagara Sanosuke and Takani Megumi to choose their own path.

Jasmine: ::Sigh:: Aww……
Sanosuke: ::Twitch:: You are an evil, vile little girl…
Megumi: Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu!!!
Sanosuke: Don't tell me you enjoyed that, Megumi!
Megumi: ::Cough:: Of course not… ::Fox grin::
Jasmine: Tee hee… ::Wolf grin::
Sanosuke: Kami help me, I'm surrounded…
Jasmine: Okay peoples!! Now, for the next one, I'm either gonna do the song "Yesterday" for Saito, or "She Loves You" for Misao and Aoshi (again). Which one should I do? I've already typed part of "She Loves You", though…so maybe I'll do that one…
Saito: Good…I don't want to be in any of these…
Jasmine: ::Wolf grin:: Too bad!!
Saito: ::Pales:: Kuso…maybe if you people review, she won't have me in a song…review, or else!! Aku. Soku. Zan!!
-People only have hope because they cannot see Death standing behind them-
