I hate writing author's notes for drabbles, but had to do a quick intro on this new stuff, y'know? This is a collection of drabbles, ficlets, and shorts that theoretically take place during Kenshin's wandering years. (One of those fill-in-the-gap kind of things, but drabble style, and not really in any particular order...) I'll update with new ones as I think of them. :) Some of these will be continuous, but for the most part, each chapter will stand alone and won't necessarily build on the drabbles before it (unless I change my mind).

Any concrit would be greatly appreciated.

Finally got around to reposting these! XD Thanks for reading!

Wandering had its perks, and its drawbacks. Starving to death wasn't something he necessarily enjoyed these days, but sometimes sacrifices had to be made to keep his vow.

For her, anything was worth it.

Light ahead notified him of an upcoming village. As relief flooded him, he hardly heard the concerned voice before collapsing.
