Disclaimer: Dude, I've just reread two of the Ruroken manga volumes, and there's no way I've ever written anything nearly so brilliant. It's all Watsuki-sensei's.

Author's Notes: In honor of my own birthday and of Earth Day, I give you my favorite of the haiku I have left to post at the moment. This piece obviously doesn't represent what I really believe, but after rereading the manga section about Jin-eh awhile back, this sprang to mind. Just now I've reread volumes 24 and 25, which were birthday gifts from my best friend, and 25 has become my favorite volume of the series. (Just wait until I obtain the whole series and reread all of it—I won't be able to choose.) But seriously, although I've seen better manga drawing, the writing of the story is just brilliant. This is why I'm a bit of a manga purist—I like the anime, but for me it just can't compare. Anyhow, I hope you like this one—please read and review! Reviews make really nice birthday prezzies ;PJa ne, minna-san!
