[Movie Universe] The battle with Shishio has ended. Kenshin seeks to move forward in the era of peace with Kaoru at his side. But the past refuses to die. Old grudges and wrongs come back to haunt the rurouni and Kenshin will soon find himself dragged into a hell that he may not be able to escape from.

AU. Early summer, 1601. The Western Army is defeated; the country stands, uneasy, under the hand of the Tokugawa. Kaoru Kamiya, whose family was on the losing side, has been sold into marriage for the sake of peace. Her new husband is a legend, a demon bound in human form, marked by his blood-lust and his bright red hair. However, legends have a way of being not exactly... true.

Talk may be cheap, but sometimes it's quite informative.

Oneshot. Slight Divergence. A few weeks after Toba Fushimi, Hiko receives some unexpected company.

How deep can Kenshin go into Kaoru's mind? The answer may surprise you!
