Hi fellow Rurouni Kenshin fans! This is my first fanfic; I hope you will
enjoy reading it. Please give me a review if you read this! I would like
some suggestions and criticism.
Please no flames.
Standard disclaimer..blah..blah..blah.,I did not create these characters, I merely borrowed them. Here's some stuff I need to clue you in on first. I changed some stuff to make my fanfic make more sense.
This takes place in present day, so there's computers and stuff. He still works for Katsura. He is still the most feared man in Japan. He is still the battousai (amber eyes, not violet). Kaoru is only 5 years younger than him.
Prologue:
The Assignment:
Assassins kill. That is their job.
Thunder rumbles, and the rain is pouring down with no end. A new moon is up and the sky is full of clouds. Perfect.
It is late evening, and a man walks out of a restaurant with a few women hanging over his shoulders. He and the women get into the car and ride off. The man is a fat and ugly drunk. Everyone knows he is one of high government officials, who taxes the poor citizens and kills for pleasure. Just as he is about to get into the car, a flash of fiery red and glowing amber pass him. He jerks his head up to see what it was and is slapped back into reality. A short man with raging red hair stands in front of him with his katana held high over his head. "I have come for your life," says the red-haired man. The women shriek and start to run. He is in front of them in a flash and takes them all out with a single slash of his katana. The blood splattered down his front staining his dark blue shirt. With fresh blood dripping on the tip of his blade, he slowly advances to the wide-eyed man too scared to budge.
"I'll give you money! However much you wa-" he was cut off in mid-sentence and his throat was slit.
The flaming-red-haired man stands up and wipes his sword clean with a piece of white cloth and puts it back into his black overcoat. He puts on his black hat and walks away into the darkness.
The man dressed in black walks into a beat up looking building. He climbs the stairs with grace like no other, he takes out a card and runs it through the machine on the door. The door clicks open to reveal a rather well furnished apartment complete with kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom, despite the look of the building from outside. He drops his katana in a stand inside a secret closet.
He then goes and shuts himself in the bathroom. He turns on the water, but sets it to cold. Icy, cold water splashes all over his body waking him up. Afterwards he turns the water to warm and continues with a normal shower.
A red haired man is sitting with a sword on his shoulder on the floor. The cackling fire shows the occupant to be sleeping very lightly. The phone rings and the man stands up abruptly. He picks up the receiver.
'Never speak into a phone until you know who it is'
"Hello Himura"
"Likewise Kasura-san"
"I have another assignment for you tonight, you are the take the life of Kamiya Kaoru and 10 pm tonight."
"Any descriptions?"
"She's got raven hair and blue eyes. She lives at the Kamiya Dojo."
The man put down the receiver with a click, and changes into his black outfit.
As sly as a fox and as quick as a flash of lightening, the red-haired-man makes his way to Kamiya dojo. The moon is slightly larger, so he could see well. A man and woman step outside the dojo waving goodbye to their friends. Using his god like speed, he rushes over to a bush and listens intently to the conversation.
"Thank you for dinner Kaoru-dono"
"You're very welcome"
"We'll be going now, you should go back in now, and the night is getting chilly."
"Thanks for your concern, please come again soon"
The man and woman step back into the dojo.
"I'll got wash up for the night koishi"
"I'll go prepare the futon.
With that said, they parted and the red-haired man followed the woman. She was humming a song and looked quite cheerful. Not that it mattered to him at all. She was still going to die tonight.
As she stepped into the bedroom, she wasn't aware of a presence watching her every move. She closed the door and went over to a cabinet, taking out the futon, just as she set it down, she spied a pair of gleaming amber eyes.
As she turned around, he was awed by her stunning blue eyes for a minute, but recovered.
"I have come for your life Kamiya Kaoru"
She was about to scream, but was stopped by the blade slashing her throat. She lay limp on the floor, dead.
The red-haired man quickly jumped out of the dojo, got into his car, and left.
When he went into his apartment, he saw a note on his table.
"Good job battousai"
