Yep! My first real story! I don't own the OC Kenshin characters, but Yeshi is mine. DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER! Sorry this chapter took so long!

If you read it, review it PLEASE! I see that many people have put my story on their Alert list thank you but I would like more reviews! Thank you to Akita-san for your support (& reviews )

Ohhh! Two more reviews! OK, so that's not many, but it makes me happy. Thanks! And just like Bobby asked, here's chapter 4! That was quick!

Enjoy!

Sano's face dropped. He grabbed Yahiko's shoulders. "HOW OLD WAS SHE!"

Yahiko winced in pain, "Like… Three years younger than you?"

Sano quickly slid open the door and ran in.

"Did you think he was gonna rip the door?" Kenshin asked. Yahiko nodded as he rubbed his shoulders.

"MEGUMI!" Sano ran in. As she turned, her face lit up and her heart skipped a beat. She had missed him a lot and over these years, she realized how much she loved him.

"Sano-!"

"Where is she!"

"Wh… Who?"

"YOUR PATIENT!"

She slumped. She could see the worry in his eyes. A worry & a joy. From what? She immediately knew that the girl must mean a lot to him…

"MEGUMI!" She jumped, snapping back to reality.

"Sorry…" She pointed over to a room. He ran in. She sighed, "Yeah, I missed you, to…"

Sano slid open the door. He tripped & fell.

"What the…?" He looked back & saw what he tripped over. It was a Zanbato. Her Zanbato. He got to his knees & found that he fell right in front of her.

A strip of cloth covered a gash on her head & a sling hugged a wounded arm.

He brushed her hair from her face, reveling her face, bruised, but still memorable. He grasped her hand, rough from wielding her weapon. It didn't matter. She was right there, for the first time in eleven long years. Eleven years of death, hard times, running from the law, & some friends… They were all worth it, just to be here with her right now.

She started to shiver in her deep sleep. Sano quickly took off his jacket and put it over her. He noticed that hers was next to her, ripped & torn. He frowned, thinking of all the hard times that she went through alone.

He took her hand again & brought it to his face. God! How he missed her! He laid down beside her, feeling the heat from her body on his bare chest. He closed his eyes & put his arms around her.

"I won't leave you again, Yeshi…"

I thought this story would only be about 8 chapters long… Seeing how this is the fourth and she's still not up, it may end up being 10… Well, I'll see you next chapter!

This one may take a little longer because I'm going to be busy the rest of the week & I'm trying to get a POTC story out, too. Maybe I'll just write it while I'm here…
