"I ran into your one true love in the gym today, Kenny," Megumi said idly. They were sitting in the living room watching television and waiting for his brother to get back from work.
"I didn't know you went to the gym."
"The poor thing still thinks we're involved with each other," Megumi continued as if he hadn't said anything. "I must confess, I didn't disillusion her. Her facial expressions are very entertaining. Her emotions are like an open book, so different from her sister's."
"Why do you want to talk about her, Megumi?"
"Because I think she's just what you need. You've always been attracted to manipulative little witches of women. It's high time you found an honest one."
Kenshin mentally reviewed his ex-girlfriends. "Well, remember Kayla? She wasn't a manipulative witch."
Megumi sighed. "Men. So oblivious."
"She was?" he asked in surprise.
"When a woman says she wants to see other people because you traded in your Benz for a Ford, she's a manipulative witch."
"And all this time I thought she knew I was losing interest in her and brought it up first to save some dignity," Kenshin said thoughtfully.
"Nope. And I would know. She was my friend until I sold my car because I couldn't afford gas anymore."
"She was only friends with you for your car? She was a little cold now that I think about it. What happened to her anyway?"
"She married the senator of Alaska last year. She's rich, but I take comfort in the knowledge that she always hated going outside in temperatures lower than fifty degrees," Megumi said smoothly.
Kenshin laughed.
"My point is," Megumi continued. "Kaoru's a nice girl. She's just afraid to trust you again. Give her time. She can't help it."
"I can't wait forever."
"Trust me," she said knowingly, "you won't."
