Summary: The experience of waking up beside your lover for the first time. Chapter 6 (finally!), Megumi's P.O.V. after she and Sano make up for the years apart. *ack, too short!*

Hmm... what a wonderful morning. Do I really have to wake up?

Ok, ok, Sun. I understood. I have to wake up. A deep breath, and I open my eyes. Hello, ceiling. You have never looked as beautiful as you are today.

Ack, enough of talking with things. My hips are killing me... gods, call that a night!

Oh, there you are. My baka chicken-head. Sleeping like an angel. Yeah, right... you were more like a little demon a few hours ago.

I stretch my legs and arms like a cat, feeling my sore muscles react to my motions. Hell, Sano, you'll pay for that, ooh yes you will. I'll make you my slave for the rest of your poor excuse for a life. You'll pay for each and every night I've spent awake thinking about you. You'll pay for every time I've touched myself thinking about you. You'll pay for every marriage proposals I would never be able to accept because I was thinking too much about you. Yes, I'll have a very sweet revenge. But right now I'll let you enjoy your life a little more.

Very lazily, I lie over you, legs on each side of your body - and even so you don't wake up. I have really tired you, haven't I? Oh, nevermind. You've let your beard grow. How did you find out I was ticklish? Anyway, the beard will have to go if you want me to kiss you everyday. But I liked the hair, you look sexier with it longer. And it looks even better with the red strap, where is it? I quickly look around and spot it right in front of me, just a few inches away from the futon. I get on all fours and crawl towards it, stopping dead when I hear your hoarse voice:

"Good morning, breasts." In my urge to pick the strap, I haven't noticed you waking up to the impressive view of my bosom - modesty put aside. You pull my body down and kiss my cleavage between laughs.

"Naughty" I slap your arm, the bend down to kiss you properly. Ouch, definitely the beard will have to go. I'll never get used to it.

"Hell, I missed your voice so much..."

"You speak as if you hadn't heard it yesterday."

"What, but I didn't. I mean, not counting the 'ooo, yeeah, Sano' part" You laugh at me, imitating my voice, and for that you earn another slap. "Itai!"

"Serves you right. But that's true, we didn't spend our time on talking last night..." I kiss you once again. Well, maybe someday I'll get used to the beard. "What do you think of having some conversation now, huh?"

You hold me by the waist and roll, lying over me. "I have a better idea." My exaggerated squeal falls flat on my throat as you shut me up with your mouth. Thankfully, once in a while you have to pick some air.

"This time in the morning? Aren't you sleepy or something?" I gasp, breathing hard. You just chuckle on my neck. "Oh yes, I forgot about your god-like stamina."

"Hmm, c'mon... we've lost five long years already. We need to get back our time, don't we?" You look at me with a grin and lovely puppy eyes. How cute.

"You have a point, baka tori-atama." I admit, pushing him. "However, we'll have to do it later. I have to open the clinic, remember? People would show up anytime soon--" My voice disappears under the great thunder that resounds from the skies. Immediately after begins the drop-drop-drop on the roof, increasing until it becomes the characteristic pac-pac-pac-pac-pac of the heavy storms. I look at you, and you have that 'nobody's coming here with that rain' smirk.

"I guess the gods are by my side, huh?" We laugh and make love once again. Ok, chicken-head, you won this time. But don't think you'll escape from being my slave.

Characters' Notes:
Sano - And so, this is the end.
Megumi - We hope you have enjoyed the show!
Sano - Yeah, 'cause we've "worked" very hard in this chapter-- * is slapped*
Megumi - Baka tori-atama. Anyway, please leave a review!!
Sano - Yes, please! *whispering* Especially because I placed a bet with Kenshin that my chapter would be more reviewed than his, so-- *is slapped again* Oi, Fox! That hurts!
Megumi - Will you ever learn?

Author's Notes: You heard them. I've put all my yens on Sano ^_^
Ack, this one was even shorter! I hate myself for that! And worse of all, they're my favourite couple - it should have been the longest one! Anyway, I hope I haven't disappointed you guys very much... if I did, feel free to write your own version of Morning After! I'm sure that many of you can do it better than I ^_^''

Love, Prudence-chan
