I do not own Rurouni Kenshin. Well enjoy this next chp!

"Kenshin have you seen Megumi?" inquired a somewhat worried Kaoru.

"Well Sanosuke said that he was going to win her heart tonight."

"Oh really how was he going to do that?"

They climbed into bed to go to sleep.

"Well this is the plan he told me..."

Megumi frantically called out for help but alas no one could hear her. Finally giving up she thought that she might go find some place to stay for the night. Fearing what would happen if she left the unconscious Sanosuke lying there she used all her strength to pull him up and put one arm over her shoulder half dragged half carried him into the forest. Hoping she could find someplace safe to stay for the night in the direction that she was going in, amazingly she found a small cottage not to far from them. So she slowly walked over nearly tripping three times because of how heavy Sano was. Just holding him up drained most of her energy. When she finally reached the cottage she set down Sano in an upright position, so that her arms were free.

She knocked on the door, but as she did so the door opened to reveille it was abandoned. The only things that were inside were: 5 logs of fire wood, matches (I know matches don't exist then but I'm putting it there any way), a cabinet, a blanket, a towel, and some water. She turned around and dragged him inside. She set him down lying near the fireplace. She put in some wood, lit a match and had a fire going soon. If she were to fix up Sano she needed light. She bent down and looked at the unconscious body that lay before her and looked at the wound. It was a deep cut but not life threatening. She had never seen a cut like this, only with a reverse blade sword was used did it look the same as the one before her. Well she pushed that thought out of her head so she could concentrate on stopping the bleeding. She rushed over to the cabinet to see if there was anything she could use. Luckily it was a medicine box so she got her supplies and went to work. It took nearly two hours to stop the bleeding. She finished wrapping the wound with the towel when Sano stirred.

"Hey Fox." He aid weakly

"Hey you." She replied

"Where are we?"

"I haven't the slightest clue."

"Megumi are you ok? Did that guy hurt you?" he asked when he saw how Megumi's shirt was and that the apron was missing. The shirt looked like it was a tube top but with a tie in the middle.

"Sano I wanted to thank you for saving me back there."

"Oh no problem besides you saved me right back." Replied Sano glancing at his new wrappings. Megumi only stared.

Sano shivered. She saw that the fire was dieing and there was no more firewood. So she took the blanket and covered Sano. He was still shivering so she started taking off her clothes, to keep Sano warm. She got under the blanket, Sano passed out by the second shiver. She started taking his clothes off and put them aside and laid down close enough to Sano to keep him warm. She looked at him and he was starting to stop shivering. She moved a little closer. She was looking up at her savor when she got an irresistible urge to run her fingers through his hair and thought he wouldn't know if she did because he's asleep, so she did with out protest. Soon she found herself drifting off into sleep.

The next morning when she woke, Megumi found that she was by-herself. She got up then got dressed and noises outside in the front. She went to investigate and found out that Sano was training. He hadn't noticed that she was there. 'What happened last night? How did the fox end up in my arms? Better yet what did we do?' Megumi just stood at the doorway watching him. The trainer did a hook, then a left, then on the ground in pain. He was on his knee when Megumi rushed over to him.
