It Heals

Shower 4

By: Meirou Kitsune


Kaoru squealed happily as she looked down at her flourishing flowerbed that had almost died a few days before. Kenshin looked over at her happy bouncing before coming over, his finished laundry neatly laid out.

"Good thing it rained or those poor flowers would have died, that they would have." He commented, a hint of sadness in his voice for what had almost happened.

"Yes! The rain did a really good job at healing them, I had almost given up hope." Kaoru added, looking up at him with a light smile.

He looked into her eyes and softly, yet sternly, said, "Never give up hope, Kaoru."

She noted that as he said that, his eyes flickered amber, which sent shivers down her spine. He finished by smiling gently at her before going in to make lunch.

'As long as you're here with me Kenshin, I will never lose hope…'

She subconsciously smiled down at the flowers as she thought that, kneeling down to play with a few of the colorful petals.

From a distance, any stranger could have seen it, yet neither of them realized that they were slowly healing each other's scarred hearts...


Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed the fluff!
