Guilty Minds
His strong façade momentarily shed
His trembling seen in his hair of red
Clenching his fist, the shaking ceased
Yet from his prison he was not yet released
He sat on the porch, brooding once more
She saw him as she walked through the door
Knowing all too well what ere his thoughts
How he caused so many lives to be lost
With a slow step she went to him
Interrupting his thoughts, so grim
Laughter her hand on his shoulder, she spoke,
"I won't sit here to make a joke.
"I know the guilt that you posses,
I know that it will never grow less.
The opium I made has taken lives;
I saw that anger in Sano's eyes.
"But know, Ken-san, that we are here.
Let us help you lessen your fears."
Before more was said, the gate had unlocked
And into the dojo, another did walk
With a shout of 'tadima' and gasp of surprise
"Megumi, you're here!" she did cry
A last whisper the sensei gave
"Go to her, or stay stuck in your cave."
A/N: yes, it is megumi! This takes place after Jinchuu, before Kenshin Kaden (or after... there's the possibility of that) Inspiration... can't quite place it, but kinda got the idea after reading a couple of IY fic (chapters) with inu/sango interaction (not romantically) and I haven't read nor written any ken/meg stuff and I wanted to try a meg thing. Originally, this would have been longer with ranting and raving of kaoru's pregnancy/checking on kenji but that would have ruined the point of this poem. Hope you liked it, arigatou for reading!
PS: still kinda on writing hiatus... poetry will be the furthest i get in terms of writing. if you want more, go to my fictionpress account on my profile
