Dealing with a Kitsune on the Hunt
By: SeaGreen

So, here is the second chappy! I hope you like, it's rather short, sorry! But, erk wow what a long time not to update. Ah well. I promise the next one will be a good amount longer. Hopefully not so long in the making too. Read and Review!

Kitsune was on the prowl and she knew what she wanted. It was time to get started.

Step 2, pick up the scent.

"No."

"What do you mean no?" cried the outraged Kaoru. Her face had become

flushed with barely held anger, and indignation. It was strange when Megumi rejected the offer, the blue-eyed girl felt deeply hurt. Ever since the Kyoto incident, she thought they had gotten closer.

"What do I mean? Anyone can tell this place needs a more feminine touch. I'm sure that Mr. Kenshin would appreciate it," Megumi purred arrogantly in her teasing voice, sweeping her arm to point her antagonist's attention to the yard.

The yard as cleanly swept as ever from the help (forced labor) of Yahiko. A few wooden practice swords rested against the wall. It was mostly brown soil with a few shrubs and small trees in the corners. In the middle of it, all was the laundry line where Kenshin was happily humming while hanging up Kaoru's gi and other clothes.

"Oh ho ho ho! Poor Kenshin doing your work, while you go off and play with your swords," Megumi laughed while brushing back her hair with an air of poise. That just pissed the shorter woman off much more. She could never understand how Megumi managed to look graceful, never a hair out of place. She knew herself to be sometimes…alright a lot of the time clumsy, very much tousled, and dirty. It wasn't her fault she was a tomboy at times, she just liked swordplay. Megumi's teasing wasn't hurtful because she constantly teased everyone. It just incited the rage of one particular girl.

"So, you won't eat dinner here because of my cooking, is that it!" Megumi nodded looking rather pleased at getting her message across without saying the actual words.

Kaoru seethed until a light bulb popped up. 'That means she's not going to be here to hit on the boys and tease me till I explode, great!'

"Alright, I'm sure Kenshin and Sano will miss you at dinner. Bye bye!" Kaoru said with a bright smile as she started to push Megumi out to the gate face first.

Megumi grinned slyly, with a wicked glint in her deep wine red eyes and said, "Who said I was leaving?" She turned around quickly, at the sudden movement, Kaoru's hands that were on her back slide up around her neck. "I've just started." as she laced her arms around Kaoru's waist.

The shorter woman was paralyzed. She could feel her heart speed up and her body tremble, her brain short-circuited at the unexpected warmth from doctor's body. All she could do was stare up into the mysterious twinkling eyes that belonged to Takani Megumi. Again just as quickly, as it happened Megumi let her go. And then, Kenshin in all his perfect timing was walking towards them, happy faced and oblivious called out, "Hi, Ms. Megumi are you staying for dinner, I hope you are it'd be a nice change!" Kaoru jumped out of from her trance, looking stunned and flustered, her blue eyes a mix of indiscernible emotions.

"Of course I will, I just agreed to help Kaoru make dinner to. Then it will at least be edible." She said elegant as ever, unphased, and undaunted she gracefully walked into the house with the most wicked gleam in her eyes.

Step 2, completed. Step 3, lay the trap.

Hehehe, tell me how you like it so far! Review and don't worry the next chap. will be out soon!

Lots of Love
