Have you ever wondered what would happen if Kaoru snapped from the strain the Kenshin placed her under? Here's a take on where her trail of though may take her. Have a read and tell me what you think…I may decide to add more depending on feed back. What do you think? Have a read and let me know.

Enough HURT!
He was the Battousai
He would forever face a battle between his past self and the self that struggled to be average.
Whatever happened everyone said….. Don't anger it! The Murderer is never to far from the surface.
Yeah well I'm sick of it. That's right! I'm sick of the hypocrisy, and past mistakes that everyone seems to allow him to use as an excuse for pushing away people who care and love him.
Yes his past held a murderer but he didn't see that they were the mistakes of youth and he had vowed to spend his life atoning for them…wasn't that enough?
Did a horrid past automatically cancel out your future? No life didn't end! It went on however much he may want it not to.
It was soothing to his soul to help and save those that he had the gifts and skill to do so but what the people of Tokyo didn't understand was that his family were the ones always left behind. As well as the woman who loved him – quietly, unreservedly, and completely.
It was Yahiko that was left unconscious at the dojo and Sanosuke left on the road battered and bruised whilst Kenshin ran off after the culprit. Justice and penitence were important but when weighed up against family love and duty could you excuse anyone for choosing the latter and not the former. The answer would be no, the latter merely delayed the former.
Kenshin was hurting but then so was everyone else with him.
Yes I love him for who he is now. But I also accept that it is the past that has crafted the man he is today. He doesn't see the hurt he causes because he does not want to see it…well that will end as of now!
