Review answer will be listed after the story!

Truth or dare 12 (Alone together, Megumi and Sano)

He thought for a bit before running after Megumi, though Sano changed quickly before he followed her. He didn't want to wear a restraining kimono while chasing her because it meant breaking his dare, though no one noticed thankfully anyways.

Sano jerked the door open and found Megumi with her knees folded up to her chest, her arms wrapped tightly around her leg…crying. She lifted her head from her knees and looked up at him through eyes moist with tears before she again buried her face into her knees.

"Gomen Megumi," He apologized vehemently, "I didn't mean to act like that."

"Shut up! You know you just wanted to. Get away from here Sano…I…I don't want to talk to you!" she yelled at him with a muffled voice.

Sano looked down at her with a sad, guilty face. He didn't mean to, he never meant to do it, but she wouldn't accept his apology. She wouldn't forgive him just yet.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Kenshin! Come on!" Kaoru yelled as she, Misao and Shumi went to see what was happening between Megumi and Sano. Kenshin and Soujirou trailed after the trio of girls with Aoshi was still in the same spot as he'd always been in, not paying attention to the world's events happening around him. (tenshi: ahahah…where did I get world events? I don't know..keke…I guess by his meditating)

"Pst…ne Kaoru-san and Misao-san, do you think Sano can calm Megumi-san down? She's quite fiery right now." Shumi asked the other two girls in a stage whisper.

"He probably can't…" Misao replied back.

"Why?" Shumi asked with wide, innocent eyes.

"He's a chicken-head remember? Sano only has the brain of a chicken; his brain isn't working well enough to calm a girl down."

Shumi laughed at Misao's statement and focused her thoughts back to the couple. Kenshin and Soujiro appeared after the little chat between the two, though they just watched the girls from the sidelines, not eavesdropping, but just sitting.

"They're quite energetic today that they are." Kenshin observed with a smile.

"Yep…eavesdropping everywhere. Ne Kenshin…y-you didn't mean it about making Shumi marry, did you?" Soujirou stuttered with a flushed face.

"No…I was just kidding. I know you wouldn't marry Shumi, that I do," Kenshin answered.

"Oh…ok…but I would," Soujirou confessed, his eyes aimed towards the ground as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.

Kenshin stared at Soujiro with an open mouth before a knowing grin crossed his tan face.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Megumi continued crying into her knees while Sano stared helplessly.

"Megumi…" he began.

"Shut up!" she yelled again albeit a bit shakily.

"I didn't mean to… really Megumi. You know I wouldn't do it on purpose. I don't know how you really act so…I just…I don't know," Sano whispered to her in a helpless tone.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Baka!" all of the three girls cursed under their breath.

"You won't get anywhere with that," Kaoru whispered angrily, not wanting to be heard.

"I know Sano, get your mouth moving. Man if you can eat a lot, then talking shouldn't be so hard." Misao added with a fierce look at the unknowing rooster-head.

"Go Sano-san, I know you can do it," Shumi added her cent into the conversation.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Nani Soujiro-dono?" asked Kenshin.

"Uh…I said I would." Soujirou whispered, revealing his feelings for the black-haired girl who was wearing her normal violet kimono. (Tenshi: Hey Shumi, is this your hair color?)

"So if I did tell you to…would you?"

"Hai, I would"

"O….kay… well let's get back to the girls."

OOoOoOoOoO

Sano decided to sit next to Megumi. Her long, black hair fell down past her shoulders, covering her tear-stained face. Her skin was still as pale as ever though the color changed around her eyes. Her eyes were red from crying.

"Megumi…" Sano didn't finish his sentence when Megumi raised her right hand and in the next moment before he was able to register her move, Sano was slapped.

The three girls eavesdropping saw Sano get slapped though he stood still, his hand covering his left cheek where Megumi's hand had connected. He waited for the slap that most likely was coming soon.

"Didn't you hear me Sano? Go away," Megumi hissed with venom and began to slap him again when a calloused hand caught hers.

Sano held Megumi's chin up so she was looking directly into his chocolate eyes.

"Please Megumi, I'm sorry," Sano apologized with an agonized voice.

"No," she replied, her tears still running quickly down her cheeks, "You're not. Don't try to get me back again."

"Megumi…" he said her name as he walked out, leaving Megumi inside. He couldn't be with her any longer for he knew that she needed time to herself. He looked over his shoulder one last time to stare at the black-haired beauty.

"Why are you three eavesdropping?" Megumi asked angrily, finally noticing the three girls.

"Nothing," the trio chirped with higher-than-normal voices. Megumi stalked away after glaring at them for a second

And that was when the trio followed Sano and pounced on him.

"What did she say?" they all asked curiously.

"Nothing much. Just let her have a few moments to herself." He replied in a defeated voice.

Shumi looked disappointed at Sano and dragged him away from the others to the corner of the dojo, making sure no one was following or eavesdropping.

"What?" he complained.

"Sano-san, do you think she'll forgive you?"

"I don't know."

"What if she doesn't?"

"I…"

"Do you love her?" Shumi asked hastily, not letting him finishing his sentence.

"I…Yes…I do. I love her a lot, but she doesn't seem to…"

"You don't know, do you?"

He shook his head in response to her question and Shumi left him to think about what he had just said. He thought for a moment before returning to the room.

"Megumi, I…" he began to say.

"Leave me be Sano…Leave me…I don't want…to see you again." She lied to him although in her heart, she was struggling with herself. She wanted to forgive Sano, even though he had hurt her.

OOoOoOoOoO

"Ah! Why did Megumi have to say that?" Kaoru complained.

"Now the chicken-head is going to be miserable," Misao said while nodding her head.

"OMG, they did everything wrong! Don't give up Sano-san, try…come one just try calming her down again," Shumi cheered.

OoOoOoOoO

"Himura-san, what do you think they're talking about right now?" Soujirou asked.

"I don't know, that I don't," Kenshin answered

"Hm…Ok…I'm guessing Sano got slapped by Megumi."

"Ne?" Kenshin asked confusedly.

"Well, the girls were pretty surprised, so yea…"

OoOoOoOoOoO

Sano stared at her in disbelief at what she had just told him. He backed away. His hand reached out to grip onto the shoji (Tenshi: I think I put door last time but I just figure that it was actually shoji during the Meiji era). He slid it open, where it revealed three eavesdropping girls with nervous grins on their faces. He surprisingly ignored them and instead ran away from them, leaving everyone staring at his back surprised.

Megumi stared as Sano ran away. Did she regret telling him that?

"Megumi-san! Why did you have to say that!" Shumi asked.
