Disclaimer: I don't own RK. If I did I would not be writing fanfics about it.

A/N: This is my first fic! Yay!!! I've had this for awhile, but I'm just now posting it. It's a little poetic (short of) one shot based on Kenshin's beliefs in the OVA. Any and all reviews are welcome!!!

In Darkness

I walk through the darkness...

Always in darkness.

I creep in and out of the shadows

stalking my prey.

They do not notice me...

They never do.

Until it is too late

and they are dead

I strike before they can defend themselves,

Before they can even scream.

I kill without thinking.

I murder without regret.

Some say I murder innocent people,

but these dogs I slay are be no means innocent.

They feed of their fellow man and act as if

They had a right to.

The people cry for justice

And I will deal it with my blood stained sword.

I will slay them all

until the people of Japan are free from oppression.

I will destroy the lives of those who, in turn,

destroy the lives of people below them everyday.

I will...

I will continue to cause the bloody rain to fall

Until a time comes when there is no need for it.

I will kill and in doing so

allow Japan to live again.

I will ...

I will prowl the streets in darkness...

Always in darkness...

Forever in darkness...

A/N: I would like to thank Daredevil for the inspiration for that last part. Well, thanks for reading! Hope you all enjoyed it! Please Review!!!!!
