Drabble for Kasumi Sora
By Pearl of the Dark Age
The sunlight was filtering through the foliage of the treetops, sprinkling light and shadow upon an ambling redhead. Kenshin looked up at the branches, observing the birds twittering away. He wondered if he could ever be as carefree. Traveling down another dirt road, he was. Even though he was a rurouni (wanderer), he still carried a heavy heart.
"Hey you!" a loud voice behind him interrupted his musings. "Stop right there! You are under arrest!"
He also carried a sword! "Oro?" he asked, turning around to give the policeman a puzzled look. The policeman was running at him at top speed, wielding his sabor around wildly. Time to run! Kenshin thought as his eyes widened and his irises shrank to dots. (Classic Kenshin expression!) "Can we at least talk about this?" he hollered over his shoulder as he sprinted off.
"This is the Meiji Era. You are not allowed to carry swords!" the policeman shouted.
It was a yes or no question, Kenshin mused. He ran a little faster. I can't believe I'm doing this again…
"Slow down! I have to arrest you for carrying a sword!" the man called vigorously.
Several hours later…
"Slow down! You are under arrest!"
"This one will not slow down!" Kenshin replied as he continued to run. This man is quite persistent, he is! "How about a lunch?" Kenshin asked. "We can take a break, I'll share my food, and then we will continue this chase when we are ready."
"I'm going to arrest you!" the policeman called, who was still right on Kenshin's tail. "You can't bribe me with food!"
Nighttime…
Okay, this one has had enough, Kenshin thought. This one gives credit to the policeman for being so diligent in his duties, but this one is going to have to lose him or he will be arrested. Kenshin ran at his top speed (finally) and vanished before the policeman's eyes.
It took a moment for the policeman to realize that he couldn't see the sword-toting redhead anymore. He turned around to get his bearings and realized he was so far from his post, he was lost. I can't believe I'm doing this again, he thought as he slowly trotted back down the road.
