A nice short Kenshin fic for y'all. It's Kenshin's thoughts after he meets Tomoe in the street, he's essentially sitting watching her sleep and thinking about her. R&R please.





Where did she come from—this girl? As she wandered through the abandoned streets, she stumbled upon me taking a life. It's all so fuzzy now…what did she say…what did she see? Now, as she lies in bed, sleeping, should I strike? She cannot defend herself. Or do I watch over her and make sure this angel's sleep is undisturbed? While a small part of me leans to the first, the second is the path I will travel by. From the first time I saw her, my eyes glanced something in the back of those eyes—something in her soul. I cannot hurt her, for then I fear that I will be hurting myself as well. I want her to stay with me, to have her in my life, but I will keep her safe for now before I set her free to fly…I can only hope that she will fly back to my arms.
