I wake up startled. I see Kaoru, still asleep, and curled up. I stand up. What was that? It felt so real. My breath quickens. I feel my scar. Where was that stump? I feel around me. No fire. No blood. No dragging a body. I look around. It was just a stupid dream. Right?

Kaoru wakes up slowly. I look at her.

"Good morning." I say.

"Morning." She yawns and gets up.

Megumi comes in.

"Good morning, you two." She says.

I nod. I stand up. I need to clear my head.

"I'm going to make breakfast." I say going to the kitchen.

"Kenshin, what's wrong? You seem sweaty." Kaoru says.

"I'm fine." I quickly say.

I'm fairly sure I'm lying. That dream was terrifying because it was so real. I get out some rice and put it into a pot along with some spices. Megumi and Kaoru come in. They both look at me. I roll my eyes and let out a sigh.

"I just had a bad dream." I finally say.

"Oh." Kaoru says.

"Don't worry about it." I say.

It's fine. It was just a stupid dream. Enishi comes in. He lets out a bearish yawn. I look up at him.

"Good morning." I say.

"What's for breakfast? I'm starving." He says.
