Tales from the Revolution. Rurouni Kenshin Fan-fiction. By Invader Moose
a.k.a. Matt Sterling
Chapter 1: A man runs down an alley and unsheathes his sword. He is instantly struck down by a man with red hair. More follow, and the same thing happens as well. A man backs up and says, "He must be." he could finish his sentence. Blood oozed from his neck and he fell down.
The red haired man keeps running down the alley and stops in front of a man about ten feet tall. He was extremely huge and had brown hair. He smirks at the red haired man and says, "You must be the Battousai, you look more worthless than the stories say."
He throws down his axe and the Battousai's image flickers and then is gone in a matter of seconds. He appears behind the man and jumps on his head. He then takes his sword and thrusts it deep into the mans mouth. He then runs down the mans body and the sword follows.
The man drops and the Battousai continues on.
More men appear in front of him. He jumps and knocks into them and does a half circle swing of his blade. The men fall, a red bloody line across their chests. The Battousai shows little or no emotion. He walks off into the distance and a small bloodline follows for a couple of feet and then stops and soaks into the ground.
The next day: 6:04 a.m.
Katsura walks beside the Battousai and says, "Himura."
"Eh?" He was watching the sunrise.
"How did the mission go last night?"
"Fine."
"Find a worthy match?"
"Not at all."
"Well maybe you will tonight." Himura turns and looks at him.
"What do you mean?"
"We've got a new mission for you. You're to kill a wealthy politician. But I warn you Himura, he has many guards and it will take a lot to get to him. Are you up to it?"
".Yes." He walks off, his two swords slightly bouncing up and down every step he takes.
Later that night: 9:45 p.m.
Himura Kenshin stands at the front gate of a huge estate. He jumps over the sidewall and slays the guard closest to him. Another witnesses it and runs off. Kenshin looks around and jumps backwards, on the sidewall. He looks around and finds the biggest building.
Kenshin jumps off and runs to the building. A couple of guards are inside gambling. Kenshin quickly runs in and stabs the one closest to the doorway.
The sword pokes through and the other guards quickly pick up their swords. Only one gets up alive. Kenshin turns and looks at the other one.
He thrusts his sword at Kenshin. He throws his sword up and the guards sword is quickly above his head. Kenshin removes his sword and slices the man.
He opens a door on the wall and goes in. A fat man is sitting drinking tea with his wife, only one guard stands in the room. He stands up and says, "Mr. Fujimaki! Please stand back! I will take care of this. assassin.
The man unsheathes his sword. He charges Kenshin who throws his sword in the way and blocks. He thrusts his sword at the man, who quickly blocks. The mans image flickers and goes away, he appears behind Kenshin. He turns around and is met by a sword in the shoulder. "Damn it." says the man. "I missed your heart."
He takes his sword out. "You're a better opponent then I had guessed." said Kenshin as he takes himself from the sword. The man smirks and goes for another stab. Kenshin dives right and smacks his sword against the mans sword. It falls from the mans hands and lands near Fujimaki.
The man looks up at Kenshin. He then looks down and sees a sword in his heart. "I didn't miss." said Kenshin. He turns around and looks at Fujimaki. "Time to die."
The man gets up and starts to run. He stabs at him and his wife jumps in the way. She is stabbed through the stomach. Kenshin receives a flashback from his childhood. A woman talks to a muscled man but no words come out. He sits on the ground as she is stabbed through the neck.
She then says some more to Kenshin and is stabbed in the back. Kenshin comes back from the flashback and Fujimaki is gone. His wife lay on the ground; she'd slipped off the bloodstained sword. Kenshin looks and sees bloody footprints walk out the room. They dimmed and eventually stopped.
Kenshin looked around and senses him outside, running with guards coming near him. He quickly runs out of the building. If he had stayed in he would've been trapped, and had no way out.
He looks in front of him, from his quick count one hundred men stand in front of him. All armed and ready to kill.
