Long ago, when the Meiji Era had been in full function, a legendary
samurai had settled in a Tokyo, upon a woman's dojo. This man had once
claimed many lives with his sword wielding abilities, and fought long to
finish a dream for the Imperialists. However, the era, which the samurai
stood in, held no bloodshed and banned the use of swords by common folk.
Thus, upon the era he once battled in fell, he oathed in the new one's
rising. Promising never to kill again, Botosai the Manslayer, Kenshin
Himoura, refused to ever kill again, and to only fight evil with a reverse
blade sword.
.But old memories seldom fade, and bad habits die-hard.
"I, Kenshin Himoura, promise to be the sweetest of all samurais, for eternity!" shouted Kenshin to his usual band of friends while eating in the dojo.
"What, does that mean your going to give candy out to everyone you beat up now?" Added Sanoske, Kenshin's half-friend half-rival.
"By sweet Sano, I mean to become a legend, but not just in my own time. Instead, I will become an immortal figure for all to behold and see in the future as well!" Kenshin backfired.
"So, you're going to become immortal with candy?" Butted in Yahiko, who then immediately returned to eating.
"NO! Listen, all of you! I will slay a man by the name of Shuru Yoshi, who is such a great martial artist, that his death will bring fame to me!" Screamed an enraged Kenshin.
"Gee Kenshin, you sick or something, you've been speaking nonsense all this morning. Is something wrong?" Asked a worried Kaohru.
"Uhh, no." stuttered Kenshin, as a red dot was fixed onto her and Yahiko's faces. "However, I should go to bed early, I feel a bit light- headed."
Kenshin got up and walk over to the next room, where two very strange creatures held advanced guns, which were previously pointed at Kaohru and Yahiko. "What am I supposed to do? It's hard enough for me to get my friends out of here, so why should I kill this innocent man? Plus, must I say words like 'Sweet?'" Asked Kenshin to the buff figures.
"Quite frankly, bub, don't worry about the killing part. You should be a mastah at that. However, we're only going to give you one more day to try and make these peoples undastand yah reasonins." Stated Bebop, and warthog-fused man who wore purple glasses.
Kenshin pleaded, "Why?!? Why do you have to do this? Why do you want me to kill Shuru? If your strange weapons are as deadly and advanced as your showcase from yesterday, then why don't you try to do it yourselves?"
The other mutant, Rocksteady, part-rhino part-man, stepped forward and answered, "No way, Boatosay! Mastah Shredder said that we need to make it like a reasonable action in the past, so that nothing too strange happens in the future!"
Kenshin remarked, "Not too strange? A samurai trying to promote peace, gets an insane urge for power and kills Shuru Yoshi? That's not strange?"
"Hey, *snort*, it could happen!" Said Bebop.
".Fine, but please, give me more time." Sighed Kenshin.
"1 day Boodosi, an' dat's it!" Laughed Rocksteady as he and Bebop ran off.
Kenshin thought quietly alone in the room. If he could just get Kaohru, Yahiko, and Sanoske to know the truth, he might have a chance at overthrowing the goons from some unknown place by not being weakened by the thought of their deaths'. Even if they didn't leave, though, Kenshin was sure he'd never stain blood on any innocent by the words of two strangers. Someway, somehow, he was going to stop them.
