Chapter 2: Confusion

Meiji era

Sanosuke Sagara was with Yahiko Myoujin as they walk back to the Kamiya Dojo from the Akabeko. Akabeko was a popular hangout for many people to come to eat and drink or even to gamble. But it was more like Yahiko was walking while Sano was staggering behind, obviously having more than just little sake to drink.

"Damn it Sano hurry up! You're taking way too long!" Whined Yahiko as he glance behind him to find Sano looking right pass him. Sano suddenly sobered up and took off on a full throttled sprint up ahead.

"Hey, is something wrong?" Curiously he slowly followed Sano, only to be shocked beyond belief. Standing there still as a statue, his brown eyes widen in disbelief.

"Yahiko don't just stand there like an idiot and come help me!" Sano screamed as he picked the red head and the blue haired girl. Yahiko just stood there, trying to register everything that happen in his little head "Come one!" that was all he said as he started the long walk toward Kamiya Dojo.

Yahiko shook his head and ran toward Sano "What do you think happen to them Sano? Who could have been so strong that it'll knock out Kaoru, and even Kenshin?" He rambled on as Sano carefully carried the two.

"I don't know, and quit asking me! Make yourself useful and run to Megumi and ask her come to the dojo!" Sano bellowed at the young boy.

"Huh?" Was the only response from the young Yahiko.

"Damn it Yahiko, why aren't you going to the damn fox for help!" The ex-fighter for hire screamed again.

"Huh? Oh right, Megumi's place." That was all the thirteen year old said as he ran in the opposite direction of Sano.

In less than five minutes, Sano was at the dojo. He nearly knocked down the front gate in his persistent to get the damn thing open. Rushing to Kaoru 's room first, Sano hastily kicked the rolled up futon, causing it to begin to unroll as he put her down. Next her ran into Kenshin's room and places him down on the hastily unrolled futon as well.

Something did catch him by surprise; Kenshin looked no more than seventeen years old. Which was incredibly strange since he was at least twenty-eight years old? Sighing he left the room and slightly slide the door shut, he decided that he'll wait outside near the gate for the fox and the brat to be here.

They finally reach the dojo nearly ten minutes later, stating that there was a huge accident blocking the road. It seems a carriage carrying cargo flipped over, and it blocked the only road to get here. Megumi rushed into the gate with a bag in hand nearly hitting Sano with the door, she didn't even apologize to him all she did was question what happen as she reached Karou's room, sliding the rice paper door open she stared at the girl that they said was Karou.

"Are you sure this is Kaoru?" Megumi question with suspicion, she's got this feeling that this blue haired beauty isn't the same as the other blue haired tomboy that she found so much pleasure in teasing.

"Yeah, were sure. Is there something that suggested that she isn't? " Sano question, she looked like Kaoru to him. Even though there's something about her that tells him this Kaoru's is a lot more attractive that the latter but he didn't say anything.

"Yeah Sano's right!" Yahiko agreed with Sano as he watches Megumi looked at Karou than at him and finally Sano.

"Are you two blind? Maybe it's the fact that this girl's hair is sky-blue not midnight blue like the Kaoru we know." Megumi stated in a straightforward way as she walked over toward the slumbering girl.

"Well maybe she dyed her hair!" Yahiko shouted out. He isn't about to admit he was dense enough to not notice the change in hair color.

"And this girl also seems a little too young and dainty to be our Kaoru." Megumi continue as she bent down and check on the girl, "And it seems not there's nothing physically wrong with her, she might be a little shaken up, but that's all."

Megumi stood up, unconsciously dusting away dust on her light violet apron. She turns to face the two immature boys in the room, her lips curved up into a smug smile. Strolling past them she opened the door and strolled down the hall toward Kenshin's room, silently she opens the sliding door and stepped in.

Sano curiously stalked after her the questionable ordeal that just happen in the Kaoru 's room. He told Yahiko to watch over the girl while he went to check out how Megumi was doing with Kenshin. He was questioning himself, what if Megumi was right. What if the girl that was here wasn't Kaoru; there might be a chance, a huge chance, that the person they thought was Kenshin could be someone else.

"Guys, you should come in here." Megumi's voice echoed through the hall. Sano started to run toward the room and opened the door.

"Where's Yahiko?" She looked at Sano as he opened the rice paper covered door. Beside her laid the thought to be Kenshin Himura, a cloth bandage on the bleeding right cheek.

"I told him to stay back and look after the young miss. Its best if someone made sure that some one would be able to answer her questions when she wakes up." He stated in a blunt tone. Unconsciously he moved to Megumi's side, but his unfaltering gaze was on the red head lying on the futon.

"So is he okay?" His coffee colored eyes stared at the stained bandage on the cheek.

"He's fine," she heard Sano sigh in relief. A ghost of a smile appeared on her lips, he really wasn't an insensitive jerk he wanted everyone to believe. Behind that tough guy exterior was a really compassionate man. Even if he didn't want everyone to know what he really is.

"But his cheek won't stop bleeding; I'm worried that the blood won't clot." Megumi stated her worry in a soft whisper, not wanting the ex-fighter for hire to worry.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, what would I have to say?" her dark ebony hair shadowed her face as she picked herself up. Her chestnut eyes skimmed the unconscious young male before she turn to walk out of the brightly lit room.

"If I've learned something from hanging around you and missy nothing means something is wrong, I'm sure of it." Sano frowned; his faced darken a little as he look up at the young lady doctor. "Come one tell me, I'll take it like a man."

"There is a great chance that the wound won't clot…" She took a breath of air and turn around. "And I think you have the wrong man, this can not be Kenshin."

"Why can't this be Kenshin?" Sano raised an eyebrow and looked suspiciously at ebony haired woman.

"Because this man's wound is fresh, and furthermore his hair to a darker shade than Sir Ken's. And…" She abruptly stopped when she thought she heard voices from down the hall, followed by a door sliding open and someone running down the hall and running into the room.

"No Kurama!" The sky-blue haired girl yelled as she flew past the two shocked occupants of the room and kneeled down beside the young red head boy named Kurama. Her amethyst eyes fell upon his wound, as a shocked gasp escape her rose colored lips. She paled and pulled out a shaky hand, and moved it toward his face. She pushed the few stray strands of scarlet hair away from his peaceful face.

"And it seems the boy's name is Kurama, not Kenshin." Megumi finished her statement as she walked out of the door.
