This drabble is for caseyedith, who suggested a new definition for an old word. Thanks!

I do not own Rurouni Kenshin (or the Hitokiri Battousai).

Tosh

-verb

To make neat or tidy.

It is too dark to see if his hands are clean.

I'izuka and Kenshin's other minders never cease to be impressed by Kenshin's abilities: his speed, his accuracy, his strength when cleaving bone from bone. According to them, he is now so skilled that he can strike down an entire contingent of bodyguards without splashing so much as a drop of blood on himself. He wishes he didn't have quite so much practice with this particular technique.

Alone in the dark washroom, with the moon shining flecks through the window, it is impossible to tell whether the blood is ever coming off.
