AVENGEMENT
Disclaimer: I don't own RK . . . what else is new?
A/N: My Christmas present to you all - a new fic, now I'll be juggling two RK fics and one FF7. Ah well, that's life for you. This is a Battousai/Kaoru fic . . . no B/K moments for a very long time though. Hope you people like.
Prologue
His long red hair, tied back into a high ponytail. Amber eyes glittered menacingly. He wielded his katana mercilessly - he was known as the Hitokiri Battousai. He was a silent assassin, the most deadly of them all - Choshu's top assassin.
"Koshijiro Kamiya, I am here for your life," was his whispered invitation to death.
Koshijiro said nothing; he drew his katana from its sheath and got into a defensive stance.
~*~*~*~*~
Minutes later, the sound of a sword splitting flesh, tendon and bone, broke through the still evening air at the campsite. A scream was heard immediately after. This awoke the sleepers up to a sudden start.
The red-haired assassin rose from his battle crouch and flicked the blood from his blade. He wiped the blade and slid it into its sheath. He stealthily disappeared into the shadows.
'One more life . . . a step closer to the ultimate goal,' he thought as he returned to his quarters.
~*~*~*~*~
Seconds later, a young, raven-haired girl, clad in a light blue gi and a white hakama flew out of a tent. She ran towards the sound of the scream. To her horror, she saw her father's blood flowing freely like a river.
"No! Father!" she screamed. The tears ran down her face as she ran to the dying man's side. "You can't leave me Father! Not now!"
She sobbed uncontrollably; the tears' flow would not stop. She cradled her father's head in her lap.
"Kaoru-chan . . . you must go . . . I am fortunate to be talking to you now . . . avenge my death and live an honorable life . . . it was the Hitokiri Battousai," with those final words, he died in his daughter's lap.
She screamed.
Her eyes misted over, the normally cheerful and bright blue eyes gleamed to a deep shade of sapphire - almost indigo. Slowly, she stood up, fisting her blood soaked gi. She shook with rage and tears.
"I will avenge my father honorably, even if it means staining my hands with your filthy blood Hitokiri Battousai. I assure you, your death is not far, even if it means reverting to being an assassin myself; I will kill you," the girl said, her voice was frigid.
Somewhere, deep in the forest, a young hitokiri felt guilt. He had only gotten a glimpse of the girl; she was beautiful and by the looks of it, he had just slain her last family member.
~*~*~*~*~
"No! Father!" she screamed. The tears ran down her face as she ran to the dying man's side. "You can't leave me Father! Not now!"
She sobbed uncontrollably; the tears' flow would not stop. She cradled her father's head in her lap.
"Kaoru-chan . . . you must go . . . I am fortunate to be talking to you now . . . avenge my death and live an honorable life . . . it was the Hitokiri Battousai," with those final words, he died in his daughter's lap.
She screamed.

He had just caused the beautiful creature, a lifetime of endless pain. He was a monster. It never occurred to him, how much pain he had caused many people, until tonight that is. Of course, he had been through a lot as a child and had been subject to much torture; but he couldn't help but feel it for ruining another's happiness - especially someone as beautiful as her.
Sometimes, he wished that someone would just kill him and let him be sent to the afterlife, but that, that was impossible - he was just too lost in his acute instincts for just anyone to kill him. Maybe 'she' would, she was livid with him. Many people were - he had ruined the lives of thousands.
Then it hit him, "What is a girl as young and as beautiful as her doing at an enemy camp? She's not some prostitute; that would be impossible she looks too innocent"
A/N: So short, yes I know. It's just a prologue. Give me reviews and I'll have the next chapter up and running as soon as possible. Oh, can someone explain to me the italics and bold on ff.net? I'm sick of using all these little punctuation marks and symbols.
