These are all precisely 50 words, no more, no less and just a little bit of fun writing exercise. I'll post them up when I have 4 or 5 laying around.

Homecoming

Kenshin froze and savored the sensation of skin on skin, Kaoru's body under him, around him. She smiled, framed his face with her warm hands, and somehow she understood.

"Okaeri nasai, Kenshin."

He turned his face into her neck, whispered into her skin. "Tadaima," and he began to move.

Gifts

"You need to stop leaving dead bodies in my kitchen." Amber eyes looked back at him, unconcerned.

"It is unsanitary, so it is." His opponent didn't respond.

Somehow the little black cat managed to look innocent like always, even while sitting next to yet another dead bird.

Choices

It was cold. It was spring, yes, but yesterday he had woken up with frost stiffening his thin blanket and the idea of sleeping outdoors again was decidedly unappealing.

Kenshin counted his money: just enough for a cheap inn.

He turned left, towards Tokyo. Maybe something good would happen there.

Solutions

Whenever Kensin's eyes became sad and turned inward, Kaoru acted. She'd pull him down, her arms and legs wrapped tight around him, so that he could drown in her and the magic of them instead of memories.

"It's alright," she'd whisper in his ear. "I've got you. I'm here."
