Title: Getting On
Author: Mae
Genre: POV
Notes: Another small little fic from me. I'm very much afraid I seem to be able to only write like this. Inspiration only inspired me with this POV. Oh well. This is in some way a sort of an epilogue to "Homeward Bound". Hope you like it. C&Cs appreciated.
It's amazing how sometimes small little actions can just change your life so much.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not drunk. You've just not seen my intellectual side. *ahhem* It's true.
All my life, since my childhood, I've always been looking, searching for some excitement, something to spark my life. I've ran away from home, joined an army, been treated as family and only to lose them all. Bittered towards the government, my goal in life has since then to gain experience, better my skills and hopefully, get my revenge.
All this changed when I arrive to Edo. As usual, all I wanted to find was a worthy opponent and then, whoah! I get to meet battousai. Only that, he's reformed and is now a rurouni.
That meeting has opened my eyes and lead me to other adventures, like saving Edo. Give me some credit here, okay? It wasn't a one-man effort. Kenshin isn't the only hero, you know. And I'm not just a sidekick. *grins*
Right now, I'm busying myself with the food my sister just cooked. I wished I could tell her that I'm her brother, but how do I say it? "Hey, yuki! I'm your long-lost brother! Did you miss me?"
Not really good, for some sister who cried her heart out when I left the family. And speaking of family, I wished I could be there by my mother when she died. But I have chosen a path that did not allow me to do that, I guess... regrets are not avoidable.
Besides my sister, there's still my father, the head of this village, and my younger brother. Heh, when I first saw him, I thought he was a wimp. But now, I think he's actually kinda brave, well, he is MY brother. As for my father... *sigh* the same as ever.
I need to make myself a home, maybe get a job, settle down... HAHAHAHA! That's funny, get a job? Settle down? Heck. No way, that's not a very interesting life. Now, although Kenshin did settle down, he still got his whack-happy Kaoru to look after him. So even if that makes an interesting life, no way would I want to tie myself down to commitments.
Getting married? What's that? Hah!
Marriage must be about getting fussed around. I've seen girls and I know IT'S A REALLY BAD IDEA to get married. I mean, Kaoru! Megumi! Misao! No way would I want to get kendo-ed, nor medibox-knocked or tobikunai-ed, if there are such terms.
...
Females.
Why are we onto females anyway?
...
I'm not drunk. Really.
I shouldn't just sit here and slack around like time is all mine. I've gotta get on the move, improve myself and well, basically just get better. Ah, loving life and living it.
I might consider getting a job, a non-official one, don't laugh. A guy's got responsibilities you know, and mine is to pay off my debts. Hell, you think I like owing people money?
Well, maybe just for a while. But definitely not long-term. Perhaps I could earn money by breaking boulders. Heh heh. Joke. Fine, don't laugh, suits me.
Can't think all day, you know. Gotta run.
