A Heart's Yearning
Sano and Megumi
Kenshin slowly walked to the house. The sounds of a party, the music and laughter, floated once again into the breeze. Only the reason had changed
Kenshin had only agreed to come because Sano forced him to say that he would. They had both graduated from police academy and would be starting their job the next week. Somehow Sano had managed to get him as a partner for which Kenshin had mixed feelings.
Hesitating at the door, Kenshin was thinking about leaving when Misao saw him.
"Oh no you don't, you aren't going anywhere," she said grabbing his arm dragging him into the house.
"Hey everyone, Kenshin is here," she yelled pulling him over to the couch sitting down beside him. "Now tell me what has been going on with you, I haven't seen you in ages. And don't leave out any of the details," she said smiling at him.
"Well… actually nothing," was all that he could say before she started telling him all about her marriage to Aoshi then continuing with the birth of her new baby.
Kenshin sat and politely listened to her but was relieved when Sano appeared calling for everyone's attention.
"Everyone… Can I have your attention," he asked. But when no one stopped talking and the music kept playing, he walked over to his stereo and gave it a swift kick on the right side. The music stopped instantly as well as the talking. "Works every time," he said proudly.
Back in the middle of the room, he said, "Now that I have your attention. I want to thank everyone for being here just don't drink all the sake until I get good and plastered and there's beer in the kitchen for those who don't drink sake." Everyone cheered.
Kenshin listened as Sano talked about their days in the academy and all the fun he had during the schooling and how much crime that the two of them would stop after they started their jobs.
Thinking about the girl who still haunted him, Kenshin was startled when he heard his name.
Suddenly he was being pushed to the center where Sano stood motioning for everyone to give a big cheer. Kenshin blushed then glared at Sano who was holding him with one arm around his shoulder.
Sano whispered so that only Kenshin could hear, "Don't take off I need you here when I propose to Megumi." Kenshin nodded his understanding while Sano finished his speech.
"Can we have the music back on," someone yelled signaling the end of Sano's speech.
Letting go of Kenshin, Sano returned to his stereo giving it a swift kick on the other side, the music returned playing the same song. Sano grinned looking for Kenshin, making sure that the red head had not left the party.
Kenshin wandered around aimlessly mingling with the rest of the guests. He wanted to escape but he had promised to stand by Sano when he proposed to Megumi.
The right moment had finely arrived. Sano found Kenshin on the back deck staring into the pond.
"Are you ready Kenshin," asked Sano nervously.
"It isn't me that has to be ready," Kenshin said smiling at the nervous man in front of him.
"Well… yea… I know but… It isn't every day that I ask someone to marry me," he replied with more force that he had intended. "Do you have the engagement ring?"
Again Kenshin nodded handing him the ring.
"Well lets go," Sano said making it sound like he was on a mission instead of asking someone to spend the rest of their lives together.
They found Megumi in the middle of a group of girls telling them all about how to get a man's attention. Seeing Sano walking towards her, she smiled at the girls with a see-I-told-you-how-its-done smile.
Stopping in front of Megumi, Sano took both of her hands in his strong rough ones and quickly asked, "Will you marry me?" slipping the engagement ring on her finger.
The room was silent except for the music from the stereo. Sano stood waiting for her answer when she threw herself into his waiting arms.
"I can take this as a yes?" Sano asked wrapping his arms around her holding her tight. Moving her arms up around his neck she pulled him toward her passionately kissing him.
The whistles and cheers resounded throughout the room. Breaking apart the couple blushed from the attention.
Kenshin watched as the two lovers exchanged a whispered 'I love you' wishing that she were here with him. Stepping forward, he gave Megumi a hug saying, "Be happy together."
She smiled and said, "Thank you," before releasing him.
Kenshin stepped back allowing the rest of the girls to congratulate the couple.
Feeling very lonely he retreated to the back deck.
Gazing into the pond, he remembered her eyes as radiant pools of beauty where he could have drowned and been a happy man. He closed his eyes as 'a warm' feeling of comfort washed over him.
