I wrote this after I drew a pic of Kenshin, his hair blowing... please... give me SOME feedback... Onegai!!!
The Wind in my Hair
"Ah... a break. This place is so beautiful in the moonlight. That water... oh what I wouldn't give to do this after every battle. Curse the shogunate... but this isn't the time for that."
The moon shines upon the lake causing the water to shimmer. A light breeze picks up and grows stronger, rippling the water. As the wind begins, strands of his blaze move about. Gradually it picks up and the hair clings to his face. He brushes the hair away.
As he does, a leaf drops from a branch and undergoes a silent dance with the wind. It twists and pops and crawls about the air, all the time drifting slowly to the water's surface. It touches down, causing more ripples.
"Ah... this peaceful feeling... the wind... so invisibly beautiful."
The gentle glide of steel moving against iron sounds behind Kenshin. From the dark, several men creep forward. Kenshin turns.
A small gang of armed men step toward him a few times. When they stop, their apparent leader steps ahead of them,
"Are you Battousai?"
Kenshin does nothing.
"In the honour of the deceased Great Tokugawa Ieyasu, we will kill you."
Peaceful eyes turn a violent amber, a blade shines in the moonlight.
"You disturbed the beauty."
