Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin…unfortunately
(Authors note: This is supposed to be Kenshin writing in a journal about what's happened to him. That's why he's saying "I" not "this one". Just wanted to get that out of the way)
Forgotten Past
Prologue
Hitokiri Battosai, famed assassin of the revolution and supposedly a heartless killer. That was what people called me back then, the named that people feared. My name is Kenshin Himura……otherwise known as Battousai the Man-Slayer. How wrong people were. I didn't enjoy killing…..quite the opposite. I did what I thought was right. At the age of 15, I had seen and been the cause of more deaths then men twice my age. Just when I was reaching my limit, I met a young woman named Tomoe. She would later become my wife, but that's a whole other story.
After the revolution I became a rurouni, traveling the countryside to protect others with my vow not to kill. I traveled for 10 years before I met someone who would change my life. Her name is Kaoru Kamiya. She let me stay with her at her dojo knowing full well who I was. She took the time to get to know me,Kenshin, and not "Battousai". Though we had a few rough patches at first, I found myself falling in love with her. It has been four years since that eventful day. Two years ago I took Kaoru as my wife and we are expecting our first child any day now.
If only everyone could experience this peace I've come to know. If only Kaiya were here. Who's Kaiya? Well….maybe I should start from the beginning….
