Dream a Dream by Red Tail
He had decided. Abruptly of course, it came to his head. He couldn't make the people that he cared for suffer. Again.
Kenshin looked down at his sakabato. He had to carry it with him on his journey that he was about to take. He remembered the vow that he made a long time ago during the war for each victim he felled.
He promised them vengeance.
And that was exactly what he was going to do after he journeyed Japan and felt that it had no use for a murderer like him.
Kenshin sighed heavily and ran a hand through his fiery red hair and bent down as he gathered his meager possessions. He had, after all, kept little for a a reason. Just incase something came up and he had to leave for the safety of his friends.
He took out a piece of paper and looked at it softly before writing down his farewell letter that they would find later, he didn't want them to worry about his safety.
That was another reason why he had to take the sakabato, for protection. For some reason before this all happened, he looked to his reversed blade sword for protection. The other reason for bringing this would because they might have thought he had been captured and the captor left his sword. After all, who would take the enemy's weapon?
He quickly grabbed his belongings as he set the letter down lightly onto of the folded futon that he once used the sleep on. He rubbed his eyes slightly, smiling weakly when he realized that he hadn't slept in so long after the dreams started occurring.
He sighed and pulled himself from his wandering thoughts and got to his feet. He looked out the door that opened out onto the porch. He raised his head, lost in the beauty of the stars before he looked back down to the hard and battered earth.
Grabbing his sandals, he put them on in one swift yet silent motion as he grabbed his small bag and swung it lightly over his shoulders. It didn't make a sound and nor did he as he began his departure.
He turned one final time as he stood before the gates of the Kamiya Dojo. He smiled softly though his violet eyes told a much different and sadder story. He turned and walked away from the dojo towards the city and then towards the country.
He didn't even look back once.
