Saito scowled as he dropped his burden unceremoniously on the dusty
floorboards. He studied the front of
his uniform irritably. He was covered
in mud from his shoulder to down and across the front of his uniform. He was decidedly not impressed.
Kaoru glared up at him as she pushed
wet and muddy hair out of her eyes. Her
pride as well as her behind was bruised and her temper was reaching its
peak. “Do me a favor, Saito…Next time don’t
help, all right?”
His eyes narrowed in annoyance. “Ungrateful brat.”
Her chin came up as she sniffed
disdainfully. “Arrogant jerk.” She looked around with a frown. “Where are my mushrooms, Saito?”
“Do you feel a sharp pain?” He quickly removed his muddy and soaked
uniform jacket, eyes moving over the room they were in, missing nothing.
“Yes…Right here.” She pointed to her neck. “I think it’s been diagnosed as ‘Saito
Syndrome’.”
Saito blinked in surprise and
studied the girl sitting a muddy puddle on the filthy floor. Kamiya Kaoru had a tongue as sharp as the katana at his side. Odd, he remembered her as having a rather nasty temper but
without the wit to match. “You’ve been
spending time with that doctor friend of yours, haven’t you?”
“Do you mean Megumi?” Kaoru gave him a puzzled frown. What did Takani Megumi have to do with
anything?
“No…I meant the itachi girl from Kyoto. Of course I was referring to the lovely and
sharp tongued Takani Megumi.” He
smirked condescendingly before stepping around her to the fire pit. He bent and picked up a dusty and foul
smelling blanket. He shook it out and tossed
it to his fuming companion.
“Strip.” He turned and strode
into the other room to investigate. He
didn’t like surprises and it was better to know before hand what the situation
might throw at him. He surveyed the
room noting the piles of clothing and boxes of food. Someone actually lived in this rat nest? Saito was instantly suspicious. The cop in him smelled something fishy and
it had nothing to do with the catfish on the counter. He grimaced in distaste and covered his nose and mouth in an attempt
to block out the unpleasant smell.
Kaoru stared at his back wishing she
had her bokken with
her. How dare he order her around? An embarrassed flush stained her
cheeks. Especially telling her to take
off her clothes. Suddenly she pursed
her lips thoughtfully. Why did this
seem so familiar? She had the strangest
feeling of déjà vu.
Saito turned and scowled. “Still dressed I see. There’s no way they’ll dry with you in
them.” Saito searched for and found a
stash of firewood and quickly bent to build a fire. “I don’t hear the sound of wet clothes coming off, Kaoru-chan.”
“Saito, you perverted jerk! I am not getting undressed with you
here.” She folded her arms over her
chest and glared at the back of his head.
“And stop calling me ‘chan’. I’m
not a child.”
“Then stop behaving like one.” He slowly straightened and turned to face
her. “Unless you have that kimono off
by the time I return with more wood for the fire, I’ll be forced to remove it
for you. Use some common sense, tanuki
girl. If you stay in those wet clothes
you run the risk of catching a chill.”
He stepped passed her to the door.
“If you catch a chill, you’ll be unable to teach kendou.
If you can’t teach, you don’t earn money and if you don’t…“
“I get the point, Saito!” Kaoru gritted her teeth when she saw his
infuriatingly superior look firmly in place.
“Do you always have to be right?”
“Yes.” He smirked at her furious expression.
“You don’t have to be so smug about
it.” She stuck her tongue out at his
back as he stepped out into the rainstorm.
“Arrogant, obnoxious, conceited…Oooo!
I hate that man!”
