You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
:Here I stand…:
Sagara Sanosuke yawned.
:Head in hand…:
Sagara Sanosuke blinked.
:Turn my…face to the wall:
Sagara Sanosuke tried to do anything to get his mind off of a certain foxy doctor.
:If she's gone, I can't go on…:
DAMMIT!
:Feelin' two foot small…:
But it was no use. No matter what he did, Sano couldn't stop thinking about her. Her being Takani Megumi, of course.
:Ev'rywhere…people stare:
"GAH! What is wrong with me? She's only one woman! There's nothin' special about her at all!"
:Each and…ev'ry day…:
But even he knew that that was a total and complete lie.
:I can see them laugh at me…and I…hear them say…:
"And what's with her, anyways? I mean…shootin' me down like that…"
:"Hey, you've got to hide your love away!":
"Che…what a…what a…" He growled loudly, annoyed that he couldn't find a nasty word to call the doctor.
:"Hey, you've got to hide your love away!":
"GAH! I HATE HER I HATE HER I HATE HER!"
:How can I…even try:
"Uh-huhuhuhuhuhu…hate who, Sano?"
:I can…never win…:
The bird-head's heart stopped beating.
:Hearing them…seeing them…:
Megumi snickered loudly and watched as Sanosuke seemed to freeze in place. It was even more amusing when his hair turned white. Hmm…I wonder…how does he do that?
:In the…state I'm in…:
I know I've seen Ken-san do it…do men have something in them that makes their hair go white when they're shocked? Maybe I should test it again some other time…uh-huhuhuhuhu…
:How could she…say to me…:
Sano twitched slightly, and seemed to come back to the world of the living. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! DON'T SNEAK UP ON ME LIKE THAT, MEGITSUNE! ARE YOU TRYIN' TO GIVE ME A HEART-ATTACK?"
:"Love will…find a way…":
"Uh-huhuhuhuhu! Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't…you may never know, hmm?" Fox ears sprang out of the top of the doctor's head, and she smiled mockingly at Sanosuke.
:Gather 'round, all you clowns…:
The bird-head huffed, crossed his arms, and turned his back to her. "Damned woman…" He muttered angrily, shifting from foot to foot in agitation.
:Let me…hear you say…:
"Tee hee…what was that, Sano?"
:"Hey, you've got to hide your love away!":
"…Che. You know what I said, Megitsune! Now leave me alone!"
:"Hey, you've got to hide your love…:
"Aww…but what if I don't want to leave you alone, Sano?" Megumi once again fox laughed and strolled up to the spiky-haired gambler, gently placing her hand on his shoulder. "And why would I want to leave you alone?"
:…Away…":
Poor Sanosuke felt his face heat up. "…Eeeeeeeeeh…"
"'Eh'? Is that all you can say? Uh-huhuhuhuhu…"
Enough was enough. "Well, if you won't leave me alone now, WHY THE HELL DID YOU SHOOT ME DOWN EARLIER, MEGITSUNE?"
The foxy doctor blinked. "Shoot you down? Hmm…" What was the bird-head talking about? Could it be…? "…You imbecile! I was helping a patient when you asked me out! I had to fix him up, first! GAH! You are so stupid!"
Sanosuke assumed…the oro face? What the heck? "HEH HEH? Y-you w-were?"
"IDIOT! YES, I WAS!"
"Oh. Whoops…"
That earned him a smack.
"OW! HEY, THAT HURT!"
"STUPID, IDIOTIC BIRD-HEAD!"
Multiple smacks.
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE A DOCTOR? DOCTORS DON'T HURT PEOPLE!"
"MORONIC AHOU!"
Wow. That one had to hurt.
"AAAAAAAAAH! LEAVE ME ALONE, MEGUMI!"
"BAKA!"
Oh my. This looks quite painful.
"I'M BEING MUGGED! SOMEONE, HEEEEELP!"
"IMBECILE!"
Oh-oh. Maybe I should censor this…HOLY SHIT! I DIDN'T KNOW SOMEONE'S ARM COULD BEND THAT WAY!
"KENSHIIIIIN! HELP MEEEEEE!"
"NOT EVEN KEN-SAN CAN SAVE YOU NOW!"
Talk about a dysfunctional relationship! Wow…that's a lot of blood…
"ANYONE! MISSY? YAHIKO? KATSU? ITACHI? SHINOMORI? HELP!"
"NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM!"
I think…I'm going…to be sick…
"TO HELL WITH IT! SAAAAAIIIIIIIIITOOOOOO! YOU'RE A COP, ARREST THIS WOMAAAAAAAN!"
"BWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAA!"
Is it…over? I wasn't looking…GAH! Megumi! WHOA! THIS ISN'T SUITABLE FOR VIEWERS UNDER 14!
"DAMN YOU, SAITO! DAMN YOU TO HEEEEEEELL!"
"MWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAA!"
(In a restaurant somewhere, eating soba, Saito Hajime sneezed violently, causing him to spill the soba all over the nearest person. He raised his fist to the sky and shouted, "CURSE YOU, SAGARA! I HOPE A DOCTOR IS NEAR YOU AT THE MOMENT, BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN A WORLD OF PAIN WHEN I FIND YOU!"
This earned him many stares from various people.
So he glared at the people.
The people left.
He calmly sat down and bought more soba.)
Sano sneezed viciously, causing Megumi to yelp in surprise.
"COVER YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU SNEEZE, BIRD-HEAD!"
"Orororororo…"
The fox doctor had just brought her hand back for another smack, but froze when she heard that word. Er…words…I suppose… "Sano? Did you…just…ORO?"
The bird-head shook his head wildly in a desperate attempt at clearing it. "Eh? Wha?"
"You did! You oro-ed!"
"Whoa…I guess I did! Hey…neat…"
Megumi snickered. "I can't believe you actually oro-ed…I've only heard Ken-san do that!"
Eager to change the subject so that he wouldn't get hit again, the bird-head decided to fill Megumi in on the relationship between everyone's favorite rurouni and a certain tanuki-girl... "Oh! Speaking of Kenshin…" Sanosuke grinned evilly. "…Guess what I found him and Missy doing the other night?"
The fox doctor gasped, eyes widening. "NO! Oh no! You didn't…they weren't…Uh-huhuhuhuhuhuhu!"
"GAH! Get your mind outta the gutter, Megitsune! No, they weren't…doing that! But…they were in the hottest make-out session I've probably ever seen!"
"Oh my…I can't believe it…Kaoru-chan finally made her move! Took them long enough, in my opinion…Uh-huhuhuhuhuhuhu!"
Sanosuke nodded, for once lost in thought. About what, we may never know…or may find out, in the next…hmm…eight paragraphs… "…Yeah…"
"Who should we get together next, Sano? Ken-san and Kaoru-chan took awhile…but were definitely worth it! Our first victory! Hmm…next…how about Tsubame-chan and Yahiko-chan? Or…better yet…I've seen the way Tae-san looks at what's-his-name…that broom-headed guy? …Chou, was it? Tee hee…I think they'd make a cute couple!"
"…Yeah…"
Megumi blinked at the bird-head's lack of enthusiasm. "Sano, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothin', Megitsune…nothin'…"
"Ahem…I know something is wrong, Sanosuke, now tell!"
Without warning, the spiky-haired gambler pulled the fox doctor to him and kissed her silly…and it lasted at least five minutes…believe me, I counted. Well…actually…I used my watch…but that isn't the point…
"I think we should get together first, before we get anyone else together, Megumi…" Sanosuke pulled away and grinned lazily, proud of the slightly dazed look on the foxy doctor's face.
Megumi, dazed? Whoa. I do believe that the world just ended. It's a good thing she's a fast recoverer…is that even a word? Hmm. Nope. My dictionary says it's not…ah well…
The fox doctor snapped out of it very fast. "Tee hee…you call that a kiss, lover boy? Uh-huhuhuhuhuhu…I'll show you a kiss…one that'll blow Ken-san and Kaoru-chan's 'hottest make-out session ever' clear out of the water…"
And they did, indeed, kiss. A lot. I swear, I've never seen anyone go without breath for that long. But Sano and Megumi did. And they didn't die! The best part was when Kenshin and Kaoru found them…but that, my friends, is another tale for a different time…one that involves quite a bit of gore…eww…and maybe a few character deaths…torture, too! Ick…maybe…I won't tell you that tale…heh heh…I'd best leave it at that…

Jasmine: (Walks into room) Errr…I'm sorry…this chapter…was really late…
Saito: She has no good excuse, either.
Jasmine: I blame lack of inspiration, okay? Feh…also, I was writing my other fic! So sue me! I was having fun!
Chou: Che…havin' fun embarrassin' meh…
Jasmine: Yup! Tee hee…Oh, I would love it if you guys would read my new fic. It's called What A Flamin' Spirit, and it's a Chou/Tae romance fic! With an extra side of humor, of course! Please read it, and tell me what you think! I need all the help I can get!
Saito: (Whispers) Flame her! Flame her!
Jasmine: (Hits him) Well, 'till next time, loyal reviewers, this is Jasmine Reinier (in a MUCH better mood), sighing off!
"People only have hope…because they cannot see Death standing behind them…"
R and R!
