Just a Knife
Characters/Pairings: Kaoru-centric. Kenshin, Yahiko, Sano, Megumi, Tsubame, Ayame, Suzumi.
Warnings: None
Summary: One day at the Akabeko, Kaoru gives her family a lecture on the philosophy of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu, and the use and purpose of a knife.
Comments: A very nicely done look at the philosophy of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu, and at Kaoru. To be honest, I kind of dislike Kaoru in the original series (…No, I am not a Tomoe fan either. And the Kenshin shipwars are completely and utterly inane and stupid), because I found her naive, and frankly weak. Collapsing into bed because her boyfriend left her just irritated me. And she never really did anything to change my opinion of her. But this fic still manages to make me like her, at least briefly, whenever I read it.
One-shot, complete.
