I do not own Rurouni Kenshin. If I did, this particular scene would have actually occurred in the manga. ^_^

Anacoluthia

-noun

Lack of grammatical sequence or coherence, esp. in a sentence.

Kaoru is ranting.

Kenshin watches with no little bemusement as she stomps through the house, bokken in hand, shouting at the top of her lungs. He's not entirely sure what he's done to set her off, only that it involves Megumi, tofu, Kenshin, Kenshin, and the priorities of married life.

He knows he should be paying attention. If he inadvertently agrees to one of her negative comments, the consequences could be… dire.

Her mouth, however, is distracting him. Pink and a little chapped, her lips are inviting, even when her voice is at full volume.

Throwing caution to the wind, Kenshin catches his wife in his arms and kisses her soundly on that tantalizing mouth.

Her fury is halted mid-shriek, and she melts against him, silent.

Kenshin grins smugly. Words are overrated.
