Red
Katsura-san had asked him once, in one of their few personal conversations, why he did not dye his hair, disguise the vivid red that made him so unmistakable.
Kenshin had never quite known why. He thought it might have to do with one of his few, precious memories of before: a woman's soft voice, laughing as she tugged a wooden comb through his tangled hair, exclaiming at how very red it was – and how beautiful.
But perhaps in the end, it was because only demons had red hair, and he had no wish to deceive anyone, least of all himself.
