Part 4

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kenshin! Kenshin!" Kenshin looked up from the laundry to look at Kaoru.
"Mmm?" The girl's eyebrows were knit together, and she wore a look of 
worry.
"Have you seen Sano around? He said he'd come and help me do the cleaning 
because he'd eaten more than half the food in the house." Kenshin shook 
his head.
"No, I haven't seen him since yesterday." 
Kaoru nodded. "That jerk.' She cracked her knuckles. "I'll get him we he comes 
back here!" She started to walk off, contemplating what she was going to do to 
Sano when next she saw him.
Kenshin sighed, he was probably still sleeping, or at the Aoiya.

Sano's stomach growled, but he didn't dare show his face at any of his 
regular eating places, it was too embarrassing. He still had a while before 
he was supposed to go see Megumi. He sighed as his stomach growled insistently 
yet again. Maybe he could go to another restaurant... but the Aoiya sounded 
so good... and he couldn't go to the Dojo either. He remembered the night before, 
and wondered just what Kaoru thought... she couldn't possiblly have thought it 
was really him... well, he hoped she couldn't. Thoughts of the night before 
brought on thoughts of his reaction to Kenshin, which he clamped down on. The 
girl in his mind had a definate thing for Kenshin, and it was making Sano VERY 
uncomfortable...
His stomach growled again, and he walked towards the nearest restaurant where 
no one would know him, head down, and hood covering his face.

"Alright then, let's go out for lunch since Sano's not here!" Kaoru grinned, 
"On Kenshin of course." Kenshin blinked and looked up at her in alarm.
"Oro? Me?" Kaoru nodded, and Kenshin began hunting through his purse to see how 
much money he had.
"For a change let's not go to the Aoiya... Let's get something new for once!" 
Ayame and Suzume clapped their hands.
"Yeah! Something new!"
"Something new!" And so they headed out, Kenshin worriedly picking through the 
small contents of his purse.

Sano sat at one of the small tables in the restaurant with his hood up over his 
face. The waiter walked up to him.
"Here you are sir... er... miss?" The waiter looked confused, and Sano ignored 
him, taking the food from the waiter.
"Thanks." He said. The waiter shrugged and walked off. Sano ate quietly, ignoring 
all the people around him, until the doors opened.
"This place looks good, ne, Kenshin?" Sano's head shot up, and he stared at the 
people who had just entered the restaurant. He watched Kenshin nod, and lowered 
his head again so his gaze couldn't reach him.
Sano's mind raced. It went from 'God Kenshin's gorgeous...' to, 'What're they 
doing eating out without me!?' to, 'Gotta get outta here... gotta get outta here...' 
Listening to the last thought, he rose to his feet, and pushed past Kenshin out 
the door.
"Hey! STOP THIEF!" Sano took off down the road at a run, not pausing until he 
was several blocks away. He sighed.
"They would pick today to go somewhere new..." he muttered. He shrugged. 
"May as well go see Megumi now." he thought, and headed off towards Genzai-Sensei's.

Kaoru blinked as the waiter ran off down the street after the cloaked person. 
She turned and glared at her companion. "KENSHIN! You should've stopped him!!" 
Kenshin blinked. "But... but..." 
Kaoru sighed. "Fine, fine. C'mon! Let's go eat." Suzume and Ayame grinned and cheered.
"Yeah! Let's go eat!"
"Yeah! Let's eat!" And so they ate.

A silent man watched as Sano headed into Genzai's clinic, a slight smile on 
his face.
"I'm afraid you won't find much help there. Sanosuke." he said, the smile turning 
into a smirk. Then, without warning, he disappeared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I haven't seen any Rurouni Kenshin in quite some time, I leant my copy 
to a friend, so I'm sorry if anyone's out of character... except for Sano... 
he's having a few mental issues at the moment, ne?
