Kenshin thinks of Kaoru walking about the dojo. She is becoming within its walls the rurouni he once was.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

~Rurouni~

She doesn't walk,

Not really.

It's more like drifting.

Moving along.

Lost,

Confused,

Not sure where she's going,

Or when she'll get there.

She sometimes stops

At my door.

Her eyes burn into me

Like daggers.

Then she drifts away,

And I cry to myself.

For I know in my heart

It's my fault.
