Blood

Another short from me. This one is Kenshin's POV during the war.

Look at that shine.

-A blade flies about, causing a moving light. This light destroys any unfortunate enough to be hit by it.

The shine is gone.

-Once more, men fall.

The blade... it's so dark. The blade... tainted... ruined as is my soul.

-And more as their lives end.

Look at them... look at the life erupting.

-A ring of men fall, cut open or at loss of limbs.

From one's neck... from another's waist.

-Yet another loses his life to the light.

It flows. Quickly... at least it was a fast death. So painless is swift death... as mine will not be.

-Down goes another, his life draining.

Another brother or father lost to someone. What am I?

-The blade shatters and a soldier dies.

The shine is forever gone. Tainted by blood.

Well... whadda ya think? Tell me sumthin, be it good or bad, I don't care. I just wanna know what you think of this. It kinda came to me when I read "The Bloody Sword" by Crystal Okamino.
