This is just going to be a short series of poems.
The deal is, let us imagine that at one point and time Kenshin left and
never returned. But now, years later, he has returned to Tokyo, and in
this poem, he meets up with Sano. This is Sano telling Kenshin what he
should do.

Return to Me
Part One:
Sano's POV:

"Go to her.
She's calling you,
Calling out your name.
She's crying now.
Can't you see the tears,
Falling like the rain?

Why'd you ever leave her,
When her love for you was true?
Why are you afraid,
To admit that you loved her too?

Go to her.
She misses you.
To her, you were everything.
You were the sky,
You were the sun,
You-
You were her life.

Without you her life is gone.
She sees no reason
To carry on.
Why must you torment her like this?
Go to her.
She needs you.

She needs to feel your gentle touch.
To feel your strength when the tide turns rough.
She wants to know that you're okay,
And that things will always remain the same.
But most of all, she wants your love.
Go to her.
She misses that love.

Why won't you hold her?
Why won't you assure her?
Why won't you return to her?
How can you be such a coward,
The one they called Battosai?
This can't be you.
This can't be true.
For he would never be afraid.

But here you are,
The legendary one,
Running from your love.
What kind of screwed up world is this?
Why are you afraid of love?
Would you go to her already?
She really wants to see you.
To at least know that you're still here.
She's been worried sick about you,
These past few years.
There hasn't been a moment,
When she didn't stop and pause
And think about what might have happened to you
And what might have been the cause.

You're sickening me
Just standing here!
Why don't you just hurry up and leave?
For if you're not going to see her
Then my time here has been a waste.

I'm just trying so hard
To make her smile
And have a reason to believe
That she still can live
She still can breathe
And there's still hope.

Take it from me,
Life's not the same without you.
The least you could do
Is come with me
And visit the dojo.

Yahiko's still there
Her faithful trainee.
But he hasn't had as much spunk
Since you boarded that train.

Yes,
Life really isn't the same
Without you,
Rurouni.
So please cease your wandering
And return
To our lives.

I can see it in your eyes.
You desire to return.
So, what's stopping you from doing so?
You know the way.
Run to her,
She's been waiting a long time for this day."

Sano smiled as he watched his old red-headed friend run quickly from the
Akabeko. He knew that Kaoru-san would be happy when he would return to the
dojo. Or, would she? One could never know with that girl...

A/n: okay, what'd you think? Did it suck or was it nice? Plz review so I
know how to go about writing the next section. ^_^
