=======================================
Kenshin was by the river in his favorite place. It was
where the old man had taken him the day he had
learned about the wishing fireflies. The line was set and Kenshin allowed his mind to wander.
He thought about that day he had met the old man and heard his story. Thinking about the fireflies he thought about the day he left to fight shishio. Maybe I should have told someone else instead of her. But then again, I probably would have hurt her more if I hadn't said anything.
She's been so nice to me and I couldn't possibly leave without telling her goodbye because...the words wouldn't come. He knew exactly how he felt about her but the last time he felt that way for someone it had had terrible consequences. He checked the bait and settled down again.
"Tomoe" he said with a sigh. A butterfly flew and landed on the tree behind him. He watched it realizing it was the same butterfly that had been following him for a few days now. It started following me the day I had that dream of Tomoe... thinking of Tomoe, a painful memory of what had happened to her resurfaced.
No, you did not mean to. Thought Kenshin. But you should have seen her. She was right in front of you. Said a tiny voice inside his head. She knew I was hurt. She was only trying to help me. The voice argued against him some more.
And so of course you had to kil- a fish nibbled on the line. It fought, but was too small to put up much of a fight. Kenshin knew it would be to small to eat by itself but also knew he wasn't that good at fishing and catching anything was good enough to keep. He reset the line and waited patiently again.
The woman looked up, but it was no longer the face of Tomoe, it was that of Kaoru. "You are allowed to love her and to love again." That was what the butterfly in the dream had said. What was that dream about? Kenshin knew, but the memory of what had happened with tomoe stopped him from encouraging the thought. Still, if only he could have had more time with dream kaoru...
"NO!!" he shouted. "I will not make the same mistake again!" The butterfly flapped its wings and flew off without answering. It had begun wondering if Kenshin would ever figure it out.
"I'm sorry I couldn't catch more. This was my only bite today." Kenshin had returned to the dojo with only two small fish.
Sano had appeared also while he was gone. "Kenshin!! What did I say about not bringing back more then 50 whales when I came over?! Kenshin merely smiled and sweat dropped. "Don't worry kenshin. At least you earn your keep as a freeloader." "WHAT WAS THAT MISSY?!"
"Nothing at all Sanosuke." "What are you two fighting about now?" Megumi had just walked into the dojo. "I can hear you before I'm even on your street!!" "What about it fox?" "Shut up rooster head."
Megumi calmly walked up to Kenshin. "Hello Sir Ken, what are you doing?" Kenshin smiled and replied happily "I caught to fish and I'm going to cook them for tonight's dinner that I am. Would you both like to stay and have some?" "Yes, please stay Megumi. Oh, and I suppose you can stay too sano." "Sure."
Just enough. Thought kenshin. "oy Kenshin, when will the food be done? I'm starving." Sano's stomach growled. Everything Kenshin cooked smelled so good he got hungry long before the food was done.
"I'm sorry I don't know how much food there is for everyone to get a fair portion that I don't. But there should be enough for all of us to at least have some." "Dinner? This is more like lunch!" Sano had looked at his meager portion. It was about the same size as everyone else's. In front of him sat two cubes of fish and a small scoop of rice. "There's nothing wrong with it!! Leave Kenshin alone!!" Kaoru had gotten up and strode over to where sano was sitting. "It was nice of him to even ask you to stay!!" "Jeez Kaoru no need to bite my head off." Sano was shrunken against the ground as Kaoru loomed over him with a feeling of impending doom.
Sano quicky shrunk against the wall and began wolfing down his food with faked gusto. Kaoru sat down looking as though nothing had happened.
While Kenshin was washing dishes and the others were talking, they heard voices coming from outside. "Hello!! Hello? Kaoru? Kenshin, yahiko, sano!! Anybody home?" "Hey, I'd know that obnoxious voice anywhere!!" Sano got up from the wall he was leaning on and headed to the front gate.
