The Blood

29

Like the Yin and Yang


Kaoru's laughter rang through the forest as she twirled around. The dozen of colorful fairies danced with her adding to her laughter their own making it sound as a soft and happy song.

Kenshin watched from afar as his older cousin rejoiced in this act of nature. She danced with these beings from fairy tales and…he suddenly had the urge to join her and dance. A harsh beat of his heart made him re-think his previous idea, but he didn't heed its voice. He wanted to touch them, play with them as Kaoru did.

He gave a step forward, then another and soon enough he was just within Kaoru's reach. A smile formed on his young lips…but before he could join in the dance a fairy shrilled at him angrily. After that, all laughter and dance stopped and they all stared at him. The young red-headed boy tried to reach for them but they flew away as if he had burned them.

After a couple of extra furious shrills more they left for the safety of the forest leaving behind two confused Kamiya.

A little farther away, Hiko watched the exchange through suspicious narrowed eyes. He was sure now… they are…different.

Where Kaoru's aura shone with life and happiness, Kenshin's darkened with…death and pain.
