I do not own Rurouni Kenshin.
Bilocation
-noun
The state of being or the ability to be in two places at the same time.
When Kenshin sees Kaoru standing in the door of his master's cottage, limned in the very last of the dying sunlight, he is torn between elated and furious. Elated because in spite of his attempt at isolation, she has considered him important enough to follow; furious, because she is far, far too precious to risk in the upcoming clash of ideals and steel.
The wishes in her eyes are fragile and painful to behold; she clearly fears his disapproval and rejection.
Kenshin cannot bring himself to say what is in his heart.
The spark of hope is too easily extinguished.
