Disclaimer: I own nothing Ruroken. Sorry!



"Sonnet of White Plums"

When first I saw your eyes I knew your name.
For only one so tainted could you be.
The blood upon your soul cried out in shame.
Your empty eyes could hide nothing from me.
You thought you had the right to judge the world.
Deciding who should live and who should die.
But now your true heart for me has unfurled.
I find myself in doubt and wonder why
I listened to your words; looked at your face.
Allowed myself the chance to see the truth.
You only were a child brought to this place.
Your only sin, naivety of youth.
So, this is what I write from day to day.
You give me now what once you stole away.


Author's Note: Oh, dear Lord! I must be insane to write a sonnet for Ruroken. But I figured... hey, if Shakespeare can write sonnets about some of the stuff he did... why can't I try one for Kenshin? So here it is. Thanks a LOT for reading. PLEASE review! Thanks again!
