Disclaimer: I still own nothing Ruroken.

Another Kyoto arc ficlet... Again from Kenshin's point of view. This time about Yumi and Shishio...

Numb

I am numb.

Frozen in place for this eternal instant, unable to comprehend what could possibly have been going through your mind.

Do you know what you've done? What you've taken? What you've destroyed?

As though in slow motion, your blade slides from my flesh. Backs out of her dying body.

You've committed my sin.

But yours... is it possible that yours could be worse?

You intentionally destroyed that. Killed her.

I close my eyes.

I don't want to see that she's smiling.

That she gladly died for you.

Because it makes me think...

Tomoe smiled, too.

Leaving me numb.

Author's Note: 100 word story number seven. The weird thing about this one is that it's still a ficlet to me, but it came out kind of like a poem. So I guess you can call it whatever you want. Either way, not counting the disclaimer, title or author's note, it's 100 words long...

Why? Why am I writing all of these ficlets? Why? (laughs)

Anyway, thanks for reading. Please review!

Dewa mata!
