Unexpected
Megumi was alone in the clinic. The soft summer breeze swept past her leading a trail of leaves behind. She wondered What is it now? Does it have to be this hot? I can’t even catch a breeze. With a sigh she went back into the clinic. Kaoru and Kenshin went out to the market, Yahiko was always in the dojo, cleaning, practicing, working his ass of for some respect from Kaoru, Dr. Genzai…hmmm, oh yes, in a patient’s house with the kids, who else? But where’s…
“Oi! Kitsune-onna, how’s life treating’ ya so far?” Sano
said with the same happy-go-lucky smile, which he is not.
“Fine, Sano, fine until you came along scaring me half to death!”
Megumi replied with the usual hint of sarcasm she always gave Sano. She looked
at Sano’s hand. It’s decent, why’d he come here then??
Then she examined Sano from head to foot Kami-sama he’s looking good
today…no Megumi, it’s the light and heat playing tricks on you
again ignore it…aww come on! How many times have you seen him look this
good…It’s the light, he’s not different…Admit it admit
it admit it ad…
“Kitsune!” Sano snapped in her thoughts “It’s so quiet that it’s deafening! You’re scaring me.”
“You’re hand is the same as yesterday. Your hand is fine and anyway what are you dressed up for? Where are you going?” Megumi said trying not to make Sano notice that she’s been staring.
“Here,” Sano replied with a smirk of a smile yet puzzled about Megumi’s question about being dressed up. Jerk! Always sarcastic towards me!!!
“No really, where are you going??” Megumi said being impatient. She sat down on a chair waiting for a reply.
“Ya really don’t get it do ya Fox?” Sano said sitting down as well.
“Get what?” Megumi replied just as puzzled as Sano was before.
Sano leaned forward and looked Megumi in the eye. “Did anyone ever tell you that your eyes are so deep?” Sano complimented.
“What do wait a second, he hardly ever compliments me! Maybe he’s just being plain nice. Thank you. It’s not everyday I receive a compliment from you.” Megumi exclaimed blushing slightly.
“I like you, I really like you. Not as a friend but as something more than that. I like you more, I-I-…” Sano couldn’t say it. He was panicking frantically!
Megumi stood up and walked behind Sano. Is this supposed to calm me down? Sano thought. Megumi slid her arms around Sano’s neck and cradled his head. Her touch was warm, unlike the touch she uses to cure his hand. He liked it. Megumi led him to a futon and the both sat down there. Sano embraced Megumi gently.
“As I was saying…" Sano tried to say something but Megumi placed her thumb on his mouth. On NOT in. Sano kissed her gently. They laid down and fell asleep. In Sano’s dreams, he could never imagine the girl of his dreams sleeping beside him, kissing and hugging him and for once in his life he was sensitive to the fox…or HIS fox…
