2005-03-07 [kitoky]: Sano inwardly cringed but continued on picturing Kaoru's nagging face in his head, "A million and two hundred yen!"

2005-03-07 [Veriale]: "A million and five hundred" came the reply. The manager was now grinning from ear to ear. [Oh boy, Sano is definitely in for it...]

2005-03-07 [kitoky]: "Two million yen!" Sano blurted out before he could think about it.

2005-03-09 [Veriale]: The smoky pub was silent for a moment before everyone burst out in chatter. The man was willing to pay two million yen for a bar girl! Yea but then again, the girl is quite pretty... "Going once.... going twice.........Sold!" yelled the manager happily. Keiko, however was doubting that Sanosuke had the money.

2005-03-09 [kitoky]: "Sol...." 'Sold?!' Sano's mind whirled trying to recollect what just happened. "I......."

2005-03-10 [Veriale]: Keiko frowned. I thought so! He couldn't have had so much money on him....

2005-03-10 [kitoky]: [Have Kaoru storm in looking around for him...o.o]

2005-03-11 [Veriale]: At that very moment, Kaoru entered the scene. "SAGARA SANOSUKE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHERE ARE THE STUFF FOR THE DOJO?" Kaoru had quickly ended her discussion with Misao with the excuse of needing to buy essentials. She looked all over the dojo but Sano did not seem to be around. Yahiko was the appropriate person to ask of his whereabouts. "Yahiko, where's Sano? He was supposed to go downtown to buy new swords for the dojo. He should be back by now..." When Yahiko told her his wheareabouts, Kaoru naturally fumed and decided to go and fetch him herself.

2005-03-11 [kitoky]: "Ah...hey Missy." Sano greeted as casually as he could. "You didn't give me enough money for your stuff...."

2005-03-12 [Veriale]: "WHAT MISSY! I GAVE YOU ENOUGH MONEY I COUNTED IT MYSELF!" fumed Kaoru. "Now let's GO!" she grabbed Sano to see another woman behind him. "...and who is this?"

2005-03-12 [kitoky]: "Well since you've been whining about needing more help around the dojo, I decided to buy you new help......for two million yen...." Sano inwardly winced and prepared for Kaoru's oncoming yelling.

2005-03-13 [Veriale]: As Sano predicted, Kaoru exploded. "W H A T!!!!! T W O  M I L L I O N  Y E N!!!! S A G A R A!!!!  A R E  Y O U  O U T  O F  Y O U R  M I N D!?!?!?!!" By now, the pub was quiet. All the guests there had their attention focused on a commotion at the bar.

2005-03-13 [kitoky]: "Hey! I wasn't going to let this abuser buy her!" Sano yelled back.

2005-03-14 [Veriale]: Kaoru took a glance at Keiko, who looked as if she was about to tear again. At this point, the manager decided to interrupt. "Er pardon me, Ms, your boyfriend here had already placed his bid on the lady over there...but I think I could always let her to the gentleman there if you are jealous..."

2005-03-14 [Veriale]: "Boyfriend! Jealous! Eww No!" Kaoru fished out some money and shoved it to the manager. "A million and six hundred. Take it or leave it." With that, she grabbed Sano and marched out of the pub. She didn't care about the girl. She could jolly well walk herself but now, she needed to settle some issues outside.... ewe and he actually thought Sano was her boyfriend! The manager smiled inwardly as the party marched out of the pub.

2005-03-14 [kitoky]: "H-hey Kaoru!" Sano yelled and angry by the fact that a kendo instructer was dragging the former fighter-for-hire.

2005-03-14 [Veriale]: "You had better find a job and PAY ME BACK ALL THAT MONEY!" Kaoru was obviously furious.

2005-03-14 [kitoky]: "Then let me go!" Sano screamed!

2005-03-16 [Veriale]: Kaoru only let go her grip when they are outside the pub.

2005-03-16 [kitoky]: Sano turned around to see if the girl followed.

2005-03-17 [Veriale]: She did. Keiko had left the pub together with them, but was looking rather lost.
