His sides, the tale of Himura Kenshin, in the Meijji Era.

*Twas a dark, and rainy day. Kenshin had been stuck inside, watching the rain pound, outside his shudders. He loved to be here, at the Kamiya Dojo, but sometimes he just longed for something more. He really hated being such a burden on the others. He wondered why he even stayed. It hit him again, like a .44 Slug. He loved her. That was why. He simply couldn't get enough of Kaoru. He knew for a fact, the feeling wasn't returned, but he hoped to one day change that. To have a chance at the life he was deprived of. He smiled, and a soft knock at his door sounded in his ears*"You knuckle head, Kenshin!"*Sano shouted through the door*"You gotta stay in your room so much!?"*he demanded. He grinned*" Get outta there, so Missy doesn't end up cooking*He said, loud enough for Kaoru to hear. She walked up, nailing him right in the head with her Boukken. She said angrily,*"You baka, shut up!"*Kenshin smiled. Another reason he stayed. He loved the actions around.Yahiko, sure he complained, but he knew a secret no other did. Sano, he was just..."off". Kenshin heard a voice in the back of his head*"You stupid, pathetic FOOL!"*He cringed...It was...him...The Battousai, the one that hid in his soul, fighting him constantly. He hated that part. He cringed, again in pain*"Go away, you demon"*he said to himself. He began to fight with him, trying not to let him take over...*"Kenshin, I'm coming in!"*Sano said. He began to push open the door ,but Kenshin's eyes were Amber..*Kenshin..."*Sano began, before seeing his eyes. These weren't Kenshin's eyes, he knew that much. He began to back away, as Kenshin stood up, his knuckles white, gripping the Sakabatu (Reverse blade sword ^^) and he began slowly walking towards the frozen Sanosuke. In a flash, his sword was out, and Sano had flinched. A fraction of an inch, to the right of his shoulder, was the sword, through the Dojo Wall. Sano stammered, beginning to back away, before taking off, running. Kenshin, his eyes now normal, fell to the floor, panting, his knuckles still white*"You are truly an idiot"*Growled the voice*"You could have been free"*It shouted in his head*"Stop...please...no more.."*Kenshin cried out, inside himself. Kaoru saw the sword, and gasped silently*"Kenshin!"*She stammered*"Are you all right!?"*
