Re: Sayuri and Kenshin (after his meetup with Stefan)
Kenshin smiled down at her, feeling that the breath he did not need to live was coming fast in the wake of their passion. Reluctantly, he pulled out of her, gathering her into his arms and carrying her at last to the bed they shared.
"One day we will," he promised her, fully intending to forge a lasting peace for her so that she wouldn't live in fear, so that she could enjoy life. "But for now, rest. I will be here when you wake." He set her down on the bed before taking his place to lay beside her, drawing her up against him.
