Disclaimer: I own nothing Ruroken... unless you count the DVD set, and my massive collection of Ruroken merchandise... but that doesn't give me rights to the series... Bummer...
Sayonara
I never planned on explaining.
Then again, I didn't expect you to cry. You thought I didn't notice, right? Wouldn't feel your tears when we hugged... See them glisten amongst the fireflies...
You know I never planned to stay. Tokyo was a resting place.
I certainly never planned to love you.
I shouldn't make plans around you, should I?
You tremble. If I stay much longer, I'll stay forever.
So, I'll ignore your sobs. Let you think I'm an emotionless monster for deserting you.
I'll turn and leave, so you won't see my face.
Because I never planned to cry.
Author's Note: My third 100-word ficlet. I'm getting good at writing these when I'm supposed to be updating "Out of Time." I don't know if I should be proud of this fact or simply disturbed by it...
Anyway, I'm sure you know, but this is set during the firefly scene when Kenshin leaves for Kyoto and says goodbye to Kaoru. Just a little peek at what might have been running through his head.
Thanks for reading, and please review!
Dewa mata!
