Return to Me:
Chapter Six:
Ayame and Suzume's Point of view.
Ayame and Suzume sat on the veranda surrounding the practice hall.
"You don't remember much about him, do you?" Ayame stroked her younger
sisters hair.
"Uh-uh." Suzume shook her head as she leaned against her sister. "Tell me
about him one more time.
"Okay." Ayame drew in a breath as she thought about what to say.
"He had a crossed-shaped scar that marked his cheek
He was short in stature, but was definitely not weak.
He had crimson red hair and a reverse blade sword
'To atone for those I've killed' he swore
He protected us many a time
When he fought he had warrior's eyes
Eyes that would not blink
And sometimes I saw a dash of gold into them creep
But Kaoru-dono did not like him like that
So he tried to put on a smile for her
And mostly he succeeded
But she could tell that deep down inside he was not smiling
See, he had a terrible past
One that he did not favor to recall
But we could tell that it haunted him in his sleep
To live with all that guilt!
Hitokiri Battosai
The name ring a bell?
The legendary manslayer
Who, by his sword, many did fall.
For one so gentle, it's hard to believe
That we, just little girls
Would call him 'Uncle Kenny'
And hug him, like nothing was wrong
Like it was normal for little girls to love an assassin."
Ayame smiled as she remembered days gone by.
"I think I remember now." Suzume looked deep in thought."
"He had bright violet eyes
That would beam at us
And a large rurouni smile
That always greeted us
He had a sword that could not kill
He had a big heart
And did things out of good will
I remember him now,
He would play with us
Even though they were silly little girls' games
He would just smile and join right in
Like it wasn't an embarrassment to him
I can't believe it,
That the one that brought us so much joy
Could bring Kaoru-dono so much pain.
I wonder why he left, so long ago?
Why'd he come back, just a few hours ago?
Where'd he go all this time?
Where's he been?
Does he still remember us as I do in the faint memories of mine?"
"So many questions..." Ayame ruffled her sisters hair.
"Well...don't you have a few too?"
Ayame sighed. "Yes. They are the same as yours."
"Do you think he'll be back?" Suzume looked hopeful.
"You know he always come back. It wouldn't be Kenshin if he didn't come
back."
"Hmm." Both girls watched the fluffy white clouds cross the sky as they
sat deep in thought.
"At least, the Kenshin I knew would." Ayame told herself.
A/n: whew! Finally I got that chapter out! sry that it took so blooming
long to update ^____^ I hope that for those of you who requested a
Ayame/Suzume POV like it ^____^ plz review and give me more suggestions!
0___o oooh, and have any of you seen Samurai X: Reflection? Isn't it the
saddest thing ever? I watched it once and cried my eyes out. Then I
watched it again and cried my eyes out. And again. And then in Japanese.
And then again, and again, and you get the picture. But does anyone get
the beginning when Kenshin falls off the boat and is drowning? I don't get
it.
Hoohkay, plz review! ^____^
