Proportion

His senses sharpened as he heard voices... Feminine voices.

"Are you sure? A man's sword...? In proportion?"

"They're in direct proportion, Kaoru-chan. Direct."

"Well, you are the doctor!"

Boisterous laughter.

At the moment, all the Shinsengumi at their prime couldn't scare him like these two women.

"Well, I suppose that's why Sanosuke's so cocky, right? Because his sword's so big?"

More laughter.

"I distinctly remember Ken-san breaking that sword..."

"Yes, with his smaller sword."

"And you love it that way!"

"Megumi!"

Kenshin walked away, shaking his head to himself. Somehow, he didn't want to know.
