Megumi Takani |
Megumi is a woman the was rescued by Kenshin and company from a greedy businessman named Kanyruu Takeda, who was forcing her to make opium. She is extremely flirtatious and often flirts with Kenshin, who was the one who helped her realize the importance of her own life when he rescued her. Megumi also enjoys teasing Kaoru Kamiya, who hates it when Megumi flirts with Kenshin. Kenshin never responds to Megumi's advances, though he sometimes becomes extremely flustered by them. Despite her teasing, Megumi acts as somewhat of a guiding force for Kaoru, teaching her to always be there for Kenshin and to smile for him in order to heal his soul. Megumi was the maker of the opium that killed one of Sanosuke Sagara's best friends, which causes the two to be on less than friendly terms in the beginning. Sanosuke eventually forgives her since she didn't willingly make the opium and the two form an odd relationship that consists of a lot of arguing and an underlying mutual attraction. Megumi can sometimes seem cold, but she still harbors guilt in her heart for making opium that killed many people. After she was rescued from Kanryuu she began to work as an assistant doctor, using her extensive medical knowledge. This is her form of atonement.
Megumi is the youngest daughter of Ryusei Takani (hope I spelled that right). She comes from a long line of distinguished doctors in Aizu. However, her family became caught up in the Aizu wars and were presumably all killed except for her. 5 years before the start of the story, Megumi came to Tokyo and began to work for a well known doctor in the hopes that if she stayed in the medical field she might find her family again. But the doctor she worked for made opium for Kanryuu Takeda. The doctor was eventually killed and Megumi was forced to make opium in his place. |
