Heart of the Ronin
“She left him with a fleeting kiss and a cloth bundle. As she disappeared into the dying night, he wanted to call after her, Yes, let’s run away together. But something stopped him. Something inside him knew that their love was not meant to be. They had loved each other like a lightning bolt. Bright and thunderous and painfully brief. He worried that she might be discovered sneaking back into the estate. If that happened, Ken’ishi’s time in this world would be short. In moments, he gathered up h...is meager belongings, put on his old, ragged clothes, and stole out of the inn. He left a few copper coins on the floor of his room and crept out into the night, wishing to leave the village behind as quickly as possible.
Akao was awake and waiting for him outside when he stepped out of the inn. “Today is new.”
Ken’ishi said nothing.
“She had a good smell.”
Ken’ishi gave the dog’s ears a stroke and strode past. The thought of her amazing scent was as fresh and bright in his mind as the rays of the sun.MoreLess
