Soujirou : Konnichiwa minna !!! *looks around* Since K-san isn't around, I'll do the disclaimers today ! K-san doesn't own Rurouni Kenshin, Watsuki-san does. So don't sue her !!! ^_^
K'Dash : *cough cough*
Soujirou : She's a broke student ! ^_^;;
Soujirou's Dream - Prologue
I had been wandering for about one year already. And yet I still haven't found my answer, the truth, as Himura-san called it. After all, it took him 10 years to find his answer. All the purpose in my life had almost totally dissolved into thin air. Nothing left. I was probably just an empty being walking around like a zombie. Of course, that wasn't what it seemed to others. I was just a wandering rurouni, like Himura-san was.
I had been wandering in this particular town for a day now, and it was getting dark quickly. I decided to treat myself this once; anyway the people here looked nice; I decided to stay at one of the inns tonight.
Hmm... it seems that most of the inns are packed tonight. Seems like this place is a popular tourist attraction, not to mention for the young couples. They were celebrating Tanabata. I was just a mere rurouni. Who would want to spend Tanabata with me?
After much difficulty, I located an inn near to the outskirts of the city. Although I didn't have much cash with me, I decided to pay the temples the next day, while I was here, to pay my respects to Shishio-san and the rest of the Juppon-Gatana who had died. I must admit, the Kenshin-gumi certainly are strong, not as strong as they seem, but nevertheless strong.
I checked in, feeling tired already for no reason whatsoever. Quickly organising what little items I had, I went down to get something to eat. Luckily, the restaurant downstairs was still open; it was rather late at this hour.
Quickly eating, I went back to my room and collapsed onto the futon in exhaustion....
