Author's Note: This story happens three years after the Rurouni Kenshin anime series. In this story, Kaoru is dead. She has been killed by an unknown warrior with blazing red eyes and a star scar on his right eye. Kenshin decides to avenge Kaoru. And so, he becomes Battousai the Man Slayer once again to search for the assassin of Kaoru and slay him. This is my first fan fiction so please, no flames. I hope you enjoy this short chapter that I just made. The next chapters will take me a while to make so please, have patience. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: The Unknown Warrior, Kenshin's Old Partner?
-Kenshin: "Sanosuke I am going to look for the warrior who took Kaoru's life. Understand, that I might not return"
-Sanosuke: "I understand, but isn't there another way to solve this?"
-Kenshin: "I have mad up my mine, that I have. This is my choice: I must become the Battousai again."
-Yahiko: "But how are you going to find him? You don't even know who he is!"
-Kenshin: "I know who he is. And I know exactly where he's at. I am going now. Farewell."
And so, the Hitokiri Battousai was reborn. Kenshin, with and unusual serious look on his face, left the Kamiya Kayin Style Dojo to begin his search for the unknown warrior. His journey had now begun.
Kenshin had just arrived at Mitsokutai Village, the village where he was born. After a good night sleep at the local inn, Kenshin continued his journey to find the unknown warrior. His search leaded him to the dark castle at the top of the mountain near the Mitsokutai. There, he knew he would find his answers.
Battousai walked to the front gate. The doors opened for him. There was no one inside. He then felt a dark presence in the room. He drew him sword and gripped it with both hands. He saw a shadow jumping from the second floor into the main floor where he was at.
-Kenshin: "Who's there? Show yourself."
A dark figure crept out of the shadows of the castle. Kenshin immediately recognized his face.
-Kenshin: "Kyomatsuki!"
-Kyo: "Yes, it is I Battousai. And as you already know, I was the one who killed your beloved Kaoru."
-Kenshin: "But why? Why did you kill her?"
-Kyo: "That question will have answering after you beat me, if I am still alive."
Kyomatsuki snapped his fingers and the main hall of the castle lit up to reveal a fighting ring in the middle of the hall. Battousai stood there waiting for Kyo to make his first move. Kyo rushed to Kenshin like thunder. Kenshin blocked Kyo's attack with his sword and pushed Kyo to the floor.
-Kenshin: "I see you possess the legendary golden reverse-blade sword. But its mystical powers are nothing compared to my fighting skills."
-Kyo: "I am well aware of your fighting skills Battousai; remember I trained with you in the Hitsen Mitsurugi Style Dojo."
-Kenshin: "Don't underestimate me Kyo; my skills have grown better since our last battle. The fights I had on the Revolution have helped me in my training. "
-Kyo: "Well, let's see how well you do against the powers of the legendary golden reverse-blade sword. DIE BATTOUSAI!!"
Kyomatsuki jump into the air and so did Kenshin. There legendary battle was about to begin.
