Sakabatou: Symbol of a Promise
You ask why: why I,
The Battousai, would wield this.
But I promised her…
Author's Notes: I wrote this ages ago, or at least what feels like ages ago to me—i.e., winter break. It was inspired by the end-of-volume special in manga vol. 3, which I believe involved Megumi, Kaoru, and Yahiko (though possibly by different names) as siblings. I can't really recall the whole plot, but of course, Kenshin arrives just on time to save them… or something like that. Anyway, what exactly inspired this was the moment of Kaoru asking him that age-old "why?" after she finds out what he used to be. (Therefore, that's the only part I remember.) Hope ya like—and please review!
