Kenshin and Kaoru!?!?
I Don't Think So!!!!!!!!!!
The Anti-K&K Page
of Takani Megumi X
Maybe you disagree with me. On the other hand, I know there exists
a large faction who does NOT support the Kenshin-Kaoru matchup! I
don't even know if any of them have pages but I decided it's high time
we of the Anti-K&K faction spoke out! HEAR ME ALL YOU SUPPORTERS
OF THIS UNHOLY UNION!!! IT MUST NOT COME TO PASS!!!!

Gomen nasai... I'm afraid I lost control
for a moment. I suppose it's rather obvious what my complaint might
be. It goes deeper than simply the fact that I love him and wish
he and I were together, however. It's not just that I love Kensan
and would rather not let that silly, whining girl have him as a ragdoll
to abuse. It's not even that I know he deserves better than such
a violent woman! Or the fact that he's so much older than she is.

It's ALL of these things! Let's look at this
objectively, here.
-
Kensan is 28. Kaoru is 17. (I, Megumi, am
22.)
-
Kensan is gentle and keeps his temper in check.
Kaoru is violent and abusive.
-
Kensan is insanely strong but has sworn to use his strength
only to protect people; Kaoru seems to use hers to beat up on people who
don't always deserve it.
-
Kensan rarely complains. Kaoru does nothing BUT
complain.
-
Kensan takes the time to listen to a situation before
rushing off and making rash decisions. Kaoru either refuses to decide,
lets someone decide for her, or rushes off.
-
Kensan has life experience and learns from it. Kaoru
has life experience and gets into trouble because of it.
-
Kensan has a gentle innocence about many things but learns
quickly. Kaoru's just naive and often takes a while to get the point.
-
Kensan is gorgeous and deserves someone whose looks compliment
his own. Kaoru is merely cute. (If you think loudmouthed, violent,
silly country girls are cute.)
-
Kensan feels compelled to atone for his past in such a
way that shapes his entire philosophy on life. His ideology came from personal
hardship and the desire not to see anyone suffer such atrocities as he
lived through. Kaoru's philosophy is based on her father's school
and on having her way.
I could go on and on, but you no doubt
get the idea by now. The fact of the matter remains that Kensan needs
someone better for him, someone who understands him and will care for him.
Kaoru just doesn't seem to be very good at that.
So why, you ask, did I have that
discussion with her in Kyoto, after the fighting was done? Why on
Earth did I tell her I was moving on and that she should hold her faith
in Kensan (the way I was, in fact, though she was not) and believe in him
no matter what?
If you love someone, set him free.
If he comes back, it's meant to be. There's no point in throwing
myself at Kensan's feet while Kaoru was. Men can be fools when a
young, pretty, innocent girl is involved. Kaoru is younger and more
innocent than I am, and I'll say nothing more. I'm not cruel, just
brutally honest.
I have faith in Kensan, and though
it pains me to see him in another's arms, I know that when the time comes,
he will know what I have all along. There's so much he has yet to
learn, for one so wise. Someday, it will happen. I will wait
for him.
