Kaoru thinks about Kenshin's hands as she watches him.

~His Hands~

I watch him as he does the laundry.

Strong arms scrub, and

Soft hair falls in his face.

When he hangs clothes on the line,

I watch his hands.

They are long and slender,

Almost feminine

But for the calluses and scars.

I've seen the speed they possess.

I know their strength.

He turns and smiles at me

Because he does not know

How his hands move in my dreams

At night,

Or, perhaps, because

He does.
