The blade of the Killer
Long time ago, with a new sword a killer turned into a protector,
now with the same sword a protector will turn into a killer
Chapter One - The spirit of Battosai
Year: 1990
The warrior known as Ranma Saotome was sleeping with a smile in his
face, and I say was, because now he wis having nightmares, nightmares
of the past, the present and the future.
Blood Ranma saw blood by all the sides, He watched his hand and saw
a sword it has blood Ranma watched around blood everywere, dead bodies
Ranma looked at a man, the only one alive who had a deadly smile in his face,
Ranma then saw her, he saw the woman he loves, the only important thing in his
life, and she was dead, dead with a sowrd in her breast, the blade of the man,
the blade of a killer, a tear ran past his face when the man laughed madly
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
was the shout with which Ranma woke up of his nightmare, in just a short time
his fiancée, Akane Tendo opened the door of his bedroom with a worried glance
in her face.
"Ranma, Are you ok?" asked her
"it, it was only a nightmare, only a nightmare, nothin' more" Said Ranma
"ok" Akane said as she walked to the door
"The worst one" mutured Ranma
"It was horrible"
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"yes, I'm ok as long as you are here" Akane just blushed
"what was it abaout?" asked worried Akane
"I don't remember" lied Ranma, he didn't whant to speak about it,
maybe she would think that he was becoming mad or something
maybe he IS turning into a madman
maybe not
"Well, Ranma it's late, its lunch time already" said Akane before going away from
his room
"coming in a moment"
Ranma got up, he dressed up in his normal outfit, but his jacket was blue instead of
red "Red makes me remember of the blood, and blood of my dream"
"no, no dream... it was a nightmare"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The young Saotome ran downstairs heading towards the dining room, he noticed that
the tv was on, there was a reporter, for first time he decided to watch the reporter
with that he sat down and simply wathced the tv while his father stealed his food
*this is an informative flash from Tokyo tv, today in the museum of Nerima some guards were
killed, no one knows if something was robbed since the people of the museum refused to
answer our questions, when more information arrives we are going to say it.*
"Bahh, I don't know fo' what I watch this stuff"
"You shoud pay more atention Saotome" said Nabiki whith a smirk
"Why should I?" Asked Ranma
"those murders were here, in Nerima"
"So what?"
"Every strange thing that happens in Nerima has some thing to do with you"
"Nabiki! Are you saying that Ranma is a murder!?" Asked a dangerous Akane
"me? nah, I'm only saing that Ranma should be carefull that killer will come for sure
fot you, Akane, or maybe he will just come for Ranma without the usual kidnap"
"oro?"
"Strangely they stole a sword, a sakabatou"
"Why would someone steal a useless blade?" said Akane
"Yea, And how do ya know!?" Asked Ranma
"I've got my ways, but anyway that is a sword of a legeendary hero, a killer known as
Hitokiri Battosai"
"Battosai" repeated Ranma with anger in his voice wich Nabiki noticed
"strange, with that kind of sword is dificult, if not impocible kill. You have to
use the other side of the blade for an easy murder" said Akane
"well, you know more of that stuff than me little sister" said Nabiki while thinking how
could she turn all this for her advantage, and of could she gain some money, the more
the better
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Days later Ranma was heading towards the school, that morning he had more nightmares,
reason why Akane went to school before him and he could not had breakfast. He could
feel a powerful aura, so he jumped out of the fence and blocked the attack that was
meant to his back.
"well well, Who the heck are ya?" asked Ranma with a smirk as he robbed the sword of
the man that atacked him
Ranma watched the blade and didn't feel sorprised to see that it was a sakabatou and that
the edge was aiming to him
"if you want to kill me at least tell me your name and your reasons"
"bah, I only wanted to test the legendary blade of Battosai, but it seems that I've to kill
you with my old Katana" the man said, he was big, although not that big
The man took a Katana, full of blood, this horrified Ranma, making him remember his dream,
then the man gave him a precise blow with the bloody red Katana, in the left cheek,
Ranma fell backwards and took a fighting stance, one that he had never used, one of the school
of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu, his glance changed to one cold, the glance of an assassin, then
Ranma realized that the powerful aura, didn't came from the killer, but from the sword
"you don't deserve to use this blade, you don't have neither the ability nor the soul necessary
to use it, get out and I will let you live"
The man had an horrified glance in his face those eyes he knew that he had to ran from
this battle, but he wasn't a coward, his pride didn't let him
"Well!? you have three options, you go away, you die or you give yourself to the police, I
kwnow that you killed those guards" said Ranma
When he understood that no answer was coming he said "I will count up to ten, if you have
not been decided by then I will kill you"
The man was so scared with the glance that he could not run, but he didn't want to run away
from a fight, although he knew that the best option was running away "1, 2, 3"
the man started to shake madly
"Like you could beat me kiddo, I will cut your face just like I did that cut" said the man
pointing the mark in Ranma's face
"4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9..." said Ranma not listening to the man's words. In that moment the
murder made another atack, but Ranma dodged it like it was nothing, then Ranma said cooly
"10, its your time to sleep in hell"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In another place, in another time, in the year 1878 to be exact
"KENSHIN!" yelled Yahiko while running besides Kaoru heading to de dining room where
Sanosuke and Kenshin were drinking tea
"oro?" asked a confused Himura
"the other night someone killed three police officers, he called himself Battosai, Someone
whants to ruin your reputation!"
"What are we waiting for? Lets kick that impostor's butt" said Sanosuke with a smirk
"ok, lets go to the police office, we can have more information of the killer there" the hole
group headed towards the police office, while walking Sano divised a strange figure that
was behind them, following them
"ehh, you continue, I've just remembered that I've gotta do something, See ya!" said Sanosuke
with a unconvincig voice
"okay" answered Kaoru while they continued walking
"Whats he up to?" asked Yahiko
"don't ask me, Sanosuke was always a bit strange" answered Kaoru although nethier she knew
what was happening to Sanosuke
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Who the heck are you and why are you following us!?" Asked furious Sanosuke while droping
a stone towards the shadow that was following the group. The shadow discovered himself
when he understood that Sanosuke had seen him
"interesting, I didn't thought that you could see me, after all I am better than any ninja"
the man was dressed in a brown hood, a red Chinese jacket, black trousers of kung fu, and
shoes of tai chi, he had a sword in his left side
"You will see stupid!" yelled Sano while atacking the man
"you are a fool for attacking to me" mentioned the stranger while he removed his sword, he
got into a battle stance, for Sanosuke's surprise the stance was similar to a combination
of Kenshin's and Aoshi's, but instead of using a Kodachi he used a Katana, or at least it seemed
a Katana, it could be a similar blade
The man send an attack with his sword and Sanosuke catched it with the palms of
his hands and he noted that the sword was a sakabatou, he smiled at this, but
his smile faded when the man send a kick to him that had a strange golden fire
surrounding it, the force of that kick made him do the only thing that he could: shout
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!" shouted someone, the group recognized the voice as their friend's
"¡Sanosuke!" yelled Yahiko
"let's go" said the three decided to help their friend
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they arrived they found a man who was in front of Sanosuke who was on
the floor tring to get up, Kaoru and Yahiko went to help Sanosuke
"Who are you?" asked Kenshin
The man smiled "although you hide your ki I still can feel it Battosai Himura" He
frew his hood to the ground and picked up the sword again
"his, his cheek" reached to say Yahiko
Everyone looked the cheek of the warrior, it was an exactly equal mark to the one of
Kenshin, but what surprised them was the glance of the man, it was the same
glance of an assassin, the glance that always had Kenshin in a dificult fight,
was an equal glance to the one of Battosai.
"you are the one that killed the police officers" said Kenshin seriously and using
his 'killer' glance
"Bingo! an' she will be my next victim" said the man while wathing Kaoru
"I will not let you do that"
"And you think that I am scared to you? I've know perfectly know each one of your moves,
the only thing that I want is to take revenge an' you can't stop me"
"revege?"
"you, you are in my nightmare, one, and another one, and I have been satiated already,
I want you out of my dreams, and for doing that I have to kill in the real life, ne?"
"I do not understand your reasons, but if you want to kill Kaoru-dono you've got to fight me"
"fight you? HAHAHA, you make me remember a warrior, who protected his friends, an'
the woman whom he loved, but he died in my hands, although he had power that competed
with the gods, you think that you are as strong as him? I don't think so!"
"Kenshin is the strongest!! he had never lost a single combat!!" yelled Yahiko
"just as Ranma, he was the strongest, he had never lost a single fight, until that last bout,
wich he lost, and his defeat meant Akane's dead and soon Ranma was dead as well" said to the
man while his smile faded and in its place was only infinite anger
"today we will not fight Battosai, but remember something, I will destroy your happiness,
and don't think that I will not kill to destroy it, remember that I killed two people
only for make you come here, good bye for now" with that the man picked up his hood and
began to walk towards the opposite direction of where Kenshin and his friends were
"good bye, Ranma" said Kenshin without losing the glance of the man while he faded,
his face was serious, but it did not get to be the assassin glance. When the man heard that
he jumped on a house and started to ran jumping between buildings
"Do you know him?" asked confused Kaoru
"no"
"then how do you know his name?"
"he said it while he said that story"
"but, he said that Ranma is dead"
"maybe the Ranma who protected the others is dead, but his escence is still alive, but,
in the body of a killer. Maybe he failed in a combat and the woman he loved died so he
turned into a Killer"
"wow! Kenshin I didn't know you were so clever"
"oro? I've just made up the whole thing" with that the whole gumi facefaulted
