A/N: Er... okay this one will probably not be a much in the humor department... I guess the last one wasn't really that funny either. GAH! knocks head against wall
Hitokiri Battousai: What do you mean by Stony and Energy???? I've been pondering the meaning of this for awhile and so far, all I've succeeded in doing is giving myself a headache!!
ASKInfinity: Hrm... I don't really know how to answer that question because it really just popped up into my head... Usually the good ones, like the first one, come to me unexpectedly, like when I am sitting bored in a parking lot for an hour or so waiting for my brother to get out of his appointment... I had another really good one, but I can't find it. sigh
Regrets
Feet whisk along the floor to porch.
Fabric rustles.
Wood creaks.
The resting of a body.
Wind blows.
A few birds sing.
Eyes wander nature.
Sighing is heard.
Amethyst eyes turn to the side.
"Kaoru-dono?"
"Hai?"
A sad smile.
A glare in response.
"Oro?"
A few seconds tick by.
Fabric rustles as another body sits.
"What are you staring at?"
Eyes wander again.
A sigh.
"Sessha is not really looking at anything in particular, that he is not."
"Eh?"
"Sessha is just.... thinking... really."
"About what?"
"Uh, well, sessha was thinking about his past-"
"Kenshin!! How many times have we discussed this?!?"
Anger matches a calm demeanor.
"Maa, maa.. that wasn't what sessha was thinking about concerning his past."
"Oh."
Embarrassment.
A shrug.
A few more seconds.
"So... what were you thinking about?"
A nervous gesture.
"Uh... well... sessha was thinking about regrets..."
Eyes widen.
"Go on."
"Well, sessha regrets not having been able to... well..."
Nature is silent.
Eyes bat in a plead.
"Act."
A face fault.
"Sessha wanted to be a part of the theatre."
"That's all you were thinking about??"
"Uh.... no."
"There's more?"
"Sessha also regrets the time he dressed up like a woman..."
Awkward silence.
Dreadful embarrassment.
"You did what?"
"Well, there was this drunk man... he kept calling sessha 'woman.' Then all these ladies came and took sessha by surprise. Sessha never knew any woman to be so strong! Well, besides you, Kaoru-dono."
A blank stare.
A harmless smile.
A twitch of the eye.
"Oro...Eh, sessha also regrets having stopped at the one creek, with all the poison plants."
Rubs a spot long healed.
"It took forever to get over that... that it did."
A nervous chuckle.
Silence.
Eyes wander.
A poke on the arm.
"Well, all people have regrets, you're not the only one. What you should think about is what you can do with the rest of your time here."
"Hai, Kaoru-dono. Arigatoo gozaimasu."
More silence.
Kaoru leans in towards Kenshin.
"You know what you need to do right now?"
"Oro?"
A smile.
"You need to receive a great BIG HUG!"
And she flings her arms around him.
"Aaaa, hai. Sessha will never regret this."
He smiles back.
