Light and Shadows
The sun was setting as they returned home. Kenshin stopped, gazing at the crimson sky.
It was a moment before Kaoru realized that he was no longer beside her. Concerned, she leaned beside him against the rail. "What are you thinking of, Kenshin?"
The shadows…" he replied, his face hidden in darkness. "I was just remembering… Remembering what I was."
There was a long quiet moment.
"You aren't a shadow, Kenshin," Kaoru finally whispered. "Shadows don't spread light…"
He looked at her, his smile radiant, proving her point..
Kaoru squeezed his hand, returning the warm smile. "Let's go home, Kenshin."
Author's Note: A KenshinxKaoru fluff 100 word ficlet, written for a livejournal self-challenge. If you'd like to make a request, check out my livejournal account (SiriusFan13 there as well). This challenge isn't just for Ruroken. This fic is for Ilychluna. I hope it suffices. I've found that I'm practically incapable of writing WAFFY fics… This was probably the hardest fic I've written in a LONG time! (sweatdrops)
Thanks for reading. Please review!
Dewa mata!
