Hi! I'm battousai24. This fic is about the anime series, Rurouni Kenshin. It's not a
lemon nor a love fic and it's very short, so if anyone of you are disappointed, I don't
really care, I don't like kaoken, but I will do fics about the two of them and I have made
1 lemon already. I still have not posted it yet. Since I'm changing some things. Well, I
guess that's it. And, I don't own the characters, they are owned by Nobuhiro Watsuki and
associated companies. This is a non-profit fic...don't sue me, ne? Nyahahahahahaha! Ja!

"Coming Home"

It was a midsummer rain...

Walking through a path, I saw this girl. She had long black hair and black-blue eyes. She greeted me with a smile and ran into my open arms. While I held her under the rain, she opened her eyes and said, "Okaeri nasai, Kenshin."

As I opened my eyes to greet her back, she suddenly disappeared. It was only a dream. A silly dream to remind me. I wasn't able to sleep after that. When morning came, I decided to go back to the dojo, my home... yes, it is. Though she may not know, but it is my home, where I will return to, where my family is. I started my journey on foot and as I was nearing Tokyo, it was midnight. I stopped to rest on a near-by tree and woke up early to set off once more. When I reached Tokyo, it was raining, raining during midsummer... I ran as fast as my feet could and as I reached the Kamiya Dojo, panting, I saw a young woman staring at me with tears in her eyes, though smiling. The woman ran into my arms. My eyes were open in shock, it's just like my dream, maybe it is, no, this feels real.

"Okaeri, Kenshin," she said. I held her in my arms under the rain and we both got soaked, but neither cared.

"I was so worried about you, Kenshin... don't make me worry like that again. I thought you'd never come back," she said.

"Gomen nasai, but of course I'd be back, I'll never leave home again."

She pulled away and looked at me directly, then wrapped her arms around me once more. I smiled and held her closer. There was silence.

She spoke again, "C'mon Kenshin! Let's get out of the rain, we might get sick." She was smiling as she ran to the dojo. I smiled back as I ran towards home...

"Hai, Kaoru-dono!"
