Hello everyone! Welcome to my first attempt at a drabble! This was actually first published some years back on my livejournal. I was too shy *ahem* to publish it here, but now I thought, "What the heck! Just do it!" and here it is!
Hope you guys like it =) Comments much appreciated!

He watched as she made a perfect turn, swinging her bokken in an arc and finishing it with a stab to the front. Bending her left knee, she slid her right feet back and turned slowly, holding her bokken in a horizontal line, her eyes never leaving the face of an invisible opponent.
He was mesmerized by the beauty in front of him. When Kaoru practiced kata, it was art. It was a deadly dance, one she threw her entire soul into. One wrong move, and she could be killed. He watched her brow furrow in concentration, her jaw set in determination as she ran through the steps of kata again. Perfection, she was aiming for nothing less than perfection.
He admired her from afar, his eyes drinking in her face, those lovely blue eyes, those plump lips, her rosy cheeks, the oval face, her dark black hair. That bead of sweat travelling down the side of her face; the small gasps of breath as she panted.
He sat a little straighter as she completed her kata. She smiled when she saw him sitting in the corner and walked towards him. She knelt down in front of him and reached out a hand, gently running it through his hair.
Ahhhh… bliss. He closed his eyes to enjoy her touch.
"Kenshin?"
He opened his eyes and met her shining blue ones.
"Would you like to take a walk with me?"
He licked his lips and opened his mouth to tell her yes but what came out was…
"Wruf!"
Sigh. It sucks to be a dog.
Well, how was it? I am aware that dogs are colour blind, but Kenshin is a special and highly intelligent dog, so let's assume that he can see colours shall we? =)
