Kenshin was in the kitchen cooking. I was watching him idly, smiling. He had been cooking all day, ever since I got my appetite back.
He came out carrying a tray of fried chicken. I grinned at him and the two of us began to eat.
"You've got your spirit back that you have." Kenshin said after a moment.
"You think so?" I grinned. "I've gained ten pounds thanks to you!"
"It is not this one's fault that you keep overeating, that it is not." Kenshin laughed.
I pouted. "What am I supposed to do when the food's so good?!"
I took the dishes and began to clean the kitchen.

Kenshin watched her as she cleaned.
Kuri was beautiful. Even more so now after they had gone through so much together.
He startled himself by realizing he loved her. Kenshin wanted to marry this woman, this priestess. He could see building a life with her.
Kenshin came up behind her and hugged her from behind. He turned her around and kissed her.
"I love you, Kuri-dono."
