Disclaimer: I don't own Kenshin

Amber eyes watched as the sky continued to darken over head. An impatient sigh left the man's lips as he continued to watch the street below. 'Another night, another death.'

That was how he viewed it, this revolution, if only it would end. The black envelope he had read earlier that morning gave him a name and place, as they always did. It was the name of yet another corrupt and unjust politician that had been using the governments money to fund his drug trading. Killing this man would bring and end to many peoples suffering, there was no doubt in the Battousai mind about that however to him it was just another small step to take in order to better his country. He was fighting for a better Japan, a Japan where all people are treated the same and the rich are not exempt from the law. That was why he was here, sitting on a weather abused roof on the outskirts of town waiting for an over stuffed drug dealing politician to show up so he could kill him.

A black carriage rolled noisily down the street, the driver wearing the colors of the Shen-sen-gumi verifying to Kenshin that he was at the right place. Amber eyes watched in boredom as the carriage stopped in front of a well known whore house. The door to the carriage opened as a soldier stepped out followed by a large man dressed in European clothing and smug smile on his over feed face. After the large mane stepped out he was followed by two other soldiers. Not caring if he was seen the red haired amber eyed man jumped down from his perch and landed right in front of the five men.

"Ba…Ba…Battousai." One of the soldiers stuttered as he tried to pull his sword from his sheath.

"Since you know who I am, then you must know why I am here." The Battousai spoke in a cool calm voice. "Prepare to die."

His sword slashed through the arm of one of the soldiers charging him. His adrenaline pulsed as he increased his speed to god like. The Battousai slashed and stabbed his way past the three remaining guards until he reached his target. The fight was over within seconds, leaving the Battousai surrounded by five dead bodies and a slowly growing puddle of blood. He stepped away from the carnage while wiping his blade clean. His head snapped to attention as his senses went into over drive. There was a slowly weakening ki moving closer to him from behind. 'One of the guards must still be alive.' Thinking this Battousai turned blade at his side, it was still not clean from the earlier fight. His eyes widened with surprise as he did not see a soldier struggling for life but a woman staggering towards him. She was wearing a white gi and dark colored hakama both of which were stained with blood and dirt. One of her hands was clutching the front of her gi closed while the other held a broken piece of wood, her blue black hair hung loosely around her frame, her feet were bare and as she continued to walk closer to him they became drenched in the blood of his earlier victims.

The Battousai watched wearily as the girl continued her trek toward him just as she was less than a foot away she spoke. "Please…" The girl began as she lifted her head revealing the most beautiful blue eyes the Battousai ever saw. "Please…help…me…" Her voice was barely above a whisper and Battousai watched as her thin frame began to tremble before she fell in a dead faint.

Out of reflex Battousai arms shot out to catch the young woman before she could fall face first into the slowly growing puddle of blood. As he caught her all of her waist length hair fell forward revealing a blood soaked back. His eyes narrowed as he gently lifted the back of her gi to find deep gashes and slash marks covering her small back the small amount of skin left was either black or blue. He breathed deeply before recovering the girls back his fingers sliding to her neck to check her pulse. Finding that she was still alive Kenshin carefully pulled the girl into his arms and carried her limp body to the Ishin Shishi base.

This is the pologue of the story is the one that has been jumping around in my head while I have been working on Demon Hunt! I have decided to go head and publish the first few chapters! But I am also going to be working on Demon Hunt. I know I am Crazy to do two stories at once but the muses are flowing for both stories so don't be surprised if you find both of my stories with updates soon!
