Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X.

A manslayer, he is.
Or so people say,
But the truth is
He wasn't always that way.

His soul has been troubled
Since some time ago.
He was also a killer
Before he met Tomoe.

She showed him a life
Beyond the killing.
She showed him a life
That was truly worth living.

She helped Kenshin find
Love in his life.
They then came together
As husband and wife.

But then, in the cold of a
Long winter's snow,
Death came for someone.
Sadly, it was Tomoe.

She lay there, dying
In Kenshin's arms;
She gave him his scar,
And broke his heart.

So, that, my friends
Is the story of Kenshin.
Now, his past
Is no longer a question.

Please read and review.
