Author's Notes: Wow, I haven't written any fics for a while, and I must say that it feels good to be working on one again. Anyway, this is a YURI/SLASH fic in which Kaoru struggles with her feelings for Megumi. If you don't like yuri, then PLEASE don't read this. More importantly, PLEASE DON't FLAME ME. Constructive criticism and compliments are more than welcome, though.

Kaoru watched Megumi with a gaze of intrigue. She thought the older woman looked beautiful as she sta down to sort out the medicines in her little portable cabinet. 'But I can't,' Kaoru shook her head. 'There's no way I can tell her how I feel...'

Although Kaoru seemed to be defending Kenshin from Megumi's flirtatious tendencies, the truth was that she was jealous. Jealous of Megumi's affection towards Kenshin. She wanted to be the one Megumi flirted with. She wanted to be the one Megumi cared for. She desperately wanted to be the one who belonged in Megumi's heart. Since the instant that Kaoru laid eyes on Megumi, she knew that what she felt was more than a simple, 'she's talented and pretty and maybe we can be friends'. It was infatuation; love at first sight. And since then, her feelings had not died down.

Sure, there had been times when they had fought. There had been times when Kaoru had wondered if Megumi was more of an enemy than a friend. But there had also been times when Megumi had been a ray of light in Kaoru's shadowed life, taking care of her when she was ill or injured. There was even that time when Kaoru had fallen into a state of deep depression after Kenshin had gone to Kyoto and Megumi was the one to snap her out of it and encourage her to follow him. Well okay, Megumi had slapped her and yelled at her, and it had hurt more than just her cheek and her ears. But Kaoru was quick to forgive her.

But she was much too scared to tell her how she felt. She was afraid of being rejected. Afraid that Megumi would hate her for having homo-erotic thoughts and push her out of her life. 'What would I do without her?' Kaoru wondered day in and day out.'If I tell her, who knows what she'll say...'

Kaoru wasn't sure whether she would be accepted or rejected. The future was unclear. Kaoru knew only one thing for certain: she would never know unless she told Megumi her true feelings. She had to take the chance.


"Hey, Megumi-san!"

Kaoru dashed over to the other woman, ready and willing to let her see her true colors.
