Wow. A new drabble. Cool. Anyways, these are Kenshin's feelings shortly after Tomoe dies. I'm a big fan of KenshinxTomoe(I just like it better than KenxKao, no offense), so I decided to write this. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, and it's very unlikely that I'll ever own it.

His Fault

She was his friend. She was his wife. She was his light. She was his love. And he had failed to save her.

Because of him, she was under the dirt, cold, numb and dead. He had broken his promise that he'd protect her. Instead, he was the reason she died.

And now, he was all alone. And so was her brother. The poor boy would likely commit seppuku, or else pathetically wander the streets until he died.

And it was all his fault. And every night, before he fell asleep, he muttered: "Forgive me…Tomoe".

There. "Seppuku" means suicide, by the way. In Japan, there's a whole suicide culture. Doing research about it wouldn't be a bad idea. Anyways, review please, and leave lots of constructive criticism. And no flames.
