Kenshin looked over the tranquil river, lowered his head and let out
a small sigh. "Oro, I want to tell Miss. Kaoru how I feel, that I do, but I
don't deserve her, that I don't. I care for her and want to be closer with
her, but I might hurt her. I won't let that happen, that I won't." ...Sigh... I
can feel my control over the Bottousai slipping away. Soon I might have to
leave the dojo to protect everyone from me." Kenshin closed his eyes and
tried to enjoy the warm afternoon breeze. His long red hair whipped in the
wind as his face took in the warm rays of light.
"Hey Kenshin! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the dojo with the Missy?" Sano said as he placed his hand on Kenshin's shoulder. "You know she's really looking forward to spending her birthday with you, ya know." Then that cocky smirk came across Sano's face. "Well, sense you're out what ya say about getting some sake with me?"
"No, thank you Sano. I think I will walk back to the dojo soon, that I will." The sun was down by the time Kenshin made it back to the dojo. "I better be quite so I don't wake anyone, that I should."
As Kenshin entered his room he placed his reverse-blade sword near the door and looked over at his bed. 'Kaoru must of made my bed. I was in so much of a rush that I forgot to make it. I should do something nice for Miss Kaoru, that I should.
Kenshin took of his top. Countless scars covered his body. His most recent ones from Shishio were visible in the flickering candlelight.
Kenshin walked over to the to the candle and blew it out. With only the light from the moon to guide him he now made his way to the bed. Wrapping the warm covers around him, he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
