The first time I saw him, his eyes…
I was completely mesmerized.
Part of it was fear, but there was something else…
his eyes seemed sad, cold and distant.
I knew he was Kenshin's enemy,
but I couldn't help being drawn into his strange spell.
The strong energy they gave off,
a swirl of emotions lying behind the smile and the cold eyes.
His mouth was smiling,
but his eyes weren't.
The eyes of a madman.
And yet the same eyes…
the eyes of an innocent child.
The thought that I was going to die…
didn't seem so terrible when I looked into his eyes.
Dying didn't matter to me…
if only I got to look into those eyes one more time.
