Kaoru shook her head. "Really, Sanosuke, you're being a weeny."

Yahiko wrinkled his nose. "Why?"
"He's afraid of the guy that runs the place." Kaoru stage-whispered.
"Hey!" Sano yelped.
Yahiko blinked. "The short red-headed guy that's prettier'n you?"
"...Yes." Kaoru gritted out.
"I'm not afraid, just intimidated." Sano pandered. "He's got those murderous eyes!"
This was originally a kernal of an idea that would be applicable to a "modern setting" fanfic, but I couldn't really think of any way to use it that would have been much past like six chapters of fluff. So, I put it into a hundred words and you can extrapolate the WAFF from there, eh?
