This is the conversation Sano had before he was questioned about Kaour's where about.

I don't own R.K. Enjoy!

Sano gazed into violet eyes. He hadn't seen this look since the old man died. This look reminded him of the woman he fell for when she was on her bitch spree. Without knowing it he kissed her.

Her warm lips slide over his and alarms go off. She was still healing; he couldn't start this with her knowing how far he wanted to take it.

"We can't" Megumi's eyes shot open parting from him like she'd been burned.

"So you can't even kiss me. Now that I look like shit you don't want to touch me."

"I don't know what shit you did with that guy but I will not hurt you. If I kiss you I can't promise to stop and you are still recovering."

"What if this night is all we get? One way or another I am going to die. Either your friends or that family can't you give me tonight."

"What do you mean my friends?" Megumi looked away feeling his anger in waves. Now she wondered if she was ready to tell him the truth.

One look into his brown eyes told her, she wasn't ready, but how could she question his love when she was the one who lied. He left his family for her.

"I…I was sent here to kill you in exchange for my life. " In that moment knowing the truth and hearing it said out loud became a different feeling altogether. Her knowing it didn't her as much as the pained look on his face.

"You..." In that moment he felt what Kaoru must have felt when he chose Megumi over her. Like his heart was turning on him. But he wouldn't allow her to seen all of his sorrow. At least it wasn't his intention but it seemed his body and mind weren't on agreement.

"I'm" She tried to think of what she could say. But he cut her off.

"Don't you dare say you're sorry? I've got Kaour's father killed trying to spring you. When she needs me I am nowhere to be found because I was trying to save your ass."

"Sano"

"What are you going to say you love me and then stab me in the back."

"No…I mean I do…I just…"

"You what thought we could run away together? I tried that you lying fox and instead of coming with me. I wake up in Kaoru's yard!" For the first time in a while he was seeing things for what they truly were. Even though he loved her but he couldn't stay blind to what was going on.

"They would have killed us both. It was a risk getting you home."

"Funny how the day before I tell you we are going run away. The old man winds up dead."

"What do you want me to say?"

"The truth fox let's try that."

"I….They overheard your plans to take me away so I was to poison you so there was no one to protect that girl's father."

"So what you snuck me out."

"Yes I didn't want you to die so I gave you some root that slows your heart rate to make it seem you are dead."

"So you save me just to kill me."

"I never said I was going to kill you."

"Why because you love me."

"Think about it if I wanted to kill you I would have done it by now."

"Not if you want to live."

"Nothing I say will make you believe me."

"Damn right"

The door opened and the Wiesel asked to speak to Sano. Megumi waited before the door was closed before she fell to the ground and cried. Everything happened so fast and no of it was good. Now he didn't know what she would do next.

Kaoru sat in the bath house with the door locked just in case a certain someone thought it was a good idea to join her. She didn't know what it was about this man but he seems to only be able to work her nerves or turn her on.

Without him to distract her she could come up with a plan to get out of here. Kenshin despite his title he seemed to be a good man and she didn't want his hopes set on her.

She didn't want to give her heart to someone just for them to change their mind or not truly love her. She wanted to die when Sano chose that fox over her. Her heart felt like lead in her chest shooting pain with every beat.

Love shouldn't hurt like. Kaoru would be damn if she put herself through that again. Promise or not there was just too little chance that they wouldn't work.

Dunking her head under the warm water…..

Misao took deep breaths with the realization come to her in waves. This would kill her and there was nothing she could do to help her friend. If he was her way of coping with the rooster than this was going to end with blood.

Like everything else in her life.

"Did she seem like she like him?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Because she doesn't know everything."

"What does she not know?"

Aoshi walked in hearing the commotion and thought it better if the truth remained hidden for the time being. It wasn't their place to say it out loud the walls have ears no matter how many friends surrounded them.

Kaoru wiped her face and saw Hiko staring back at her. His brown eyes looked that of Kenshin this morning. Full of love and wonder, which scared her because he shouldn't be here looking at her like that.

"You should know that his old woman's family is the one after you. Those wolves will stop a nothing to kill you." Though she was surprised at his statement she needed to get rid of him. She was after all bathing.

"You might want to leave before I have to force you." Her blue eyes stopped his heart. Sending him into the past filling his head with vision he tried hard to forget.

With a blink of an eye he was gone. Something wasn't right here, but it didn't matter. With the rising of the third sun she would be gone. The snow should have stopped and she could make it to the next town before he would notice.

"I love you my blue angel."

"I'm sorry I can't say the same."

I know it's been a minute and for that I am sorry. I hope you enjoyed. Please let me know what you think. R&R until next time.
