[Femslash for the sake of femslash] [Rurouni Kenshin] [Misao/Kaoru] Steel and Silk

Title: Steel and Silk
Fandom/Pairing: Rurouni Kenshin; Misao/Kaoru, implied Misao/Megumi
Rating: ESRB Rating of E10+ for Everyone 10+ < rated for teh ghey >
Summary: Misao's not just watching the fireflies; she's watching Kaoru, too.
Notes: Written to the tune of "08. There are so few words that never grow old"

The fireflies are out in force tonight; Misao watches them and plays with her flat throwing knives. She's not just watching the fireflies, of course, she's watching the girl in the pale yellow kimono, too, with the obi that looks like a bee.

There's a knife sheathed somewhere in that obi, Misao knows and thinks it's fitting. She looks fragile, imperfectly beautiful—just like Megumi—but she's the farthest thing from it. Steel hidden beneath silk: it's a perfect metaphor for the two women she wants to grow up to be like.

The two women she wishes she could touch.
