REFLECTION He had walked down the road tons of times since then, but this time something felt different, even though it had been a little over four years. He went to the river to clear his mind, when he looked into the river, the reflection he saw wasn't his, it was similar to him though, the reflection he hated. A grown man, with red hair azure eyes, and a cross shaped scar on his left cheek, he lent in closer as if it was real, than it shattered. "huh" he didn't know what just happened but who probably did it. "Sorry Kenji, but I had to do it, you looked like you where gonna make-out with it or something" "It's okay, Yahiko" "Are you okay, you looked like you where going to cry or get sentimental" "Yea" "Then why where you so concentrated on your reflection?" "I was just thinking of an old friend, that I was" /" oh great, now I'm starting to sound like-"/ "Kenshin?" "what ....... how'd did you know" "Kenji no Baka!! Next time don't think OUT LOUD, you still miss him don't you?" "NO!!, he was never there, so why should I care? I hardly even knew him" "Stupid, he was a Rurouni, helping and saving innocent people, he did all of that stuff as an atonement for all of the lives he took during the chaos of the revolution, you know what he told me once when you where little?" "No" "He told me that even if he is thousands of miles from you, he still loves you with all his heart" "D...dad" Kenji was crying after hearing those words. "I had a dream about him last night" Yahiko was sitting next to Kenji now "And his exact words to me where 'Yahiko, tell Kenji how much I love him, and if I could be his father again, I would be with him as long as I possibly could.' Do you get it now, he loved you, he really did, but fate led him down a different path than you and Kaoru wanted, but that was just his way of life." "Yea I guess you're right, I just wish I could have told him that I loved him" "He knows" "How do you know" "I can just tell, c'mon lets go, it's getting late" "No, you go I'll meet up with you" After Yahiko left Kenji got down on his knees as if he was praying.

"Dad I guess you never realize things until it's to late, and if I could be your son all over again, I would be the best son I possibly could be. I love you dad" At that moment Kenji felt as if he had the weight of the world lifted off of his shoulders. Yahiko had heard every word, and was glad that Kenshin's words finally meant something to Kenji, he smiled and looked up to the sky "I love you guys, and soon enough we will all see each other again, and you're welcome Kenshin"
