The two competitors faced each other with fierce faces, both waited for the other to make the first move.
I cannot lose this fight. I need to win for the Senshin dojo and to be able to be worthy of my love. I need to do this even if I have to fight Battousai with every ounce of strength I have, the black haired competitor thought.
Kenshin, otherwise known as Battousai charged at his opponent without any hesitation and swung at him. The practice sword grazed the young man's side as he jumped out of the way. Darting in, he attempted to hit his foe when the man disappeared in a blur.
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu… Ryu Tsui Sen!" The red-head slashed his opponent in the shoulder, knocking him to the side.
"Two points for Shi-ishin dojo!" shouted the coordinator.
Gasping for breath, the black-haired opponent stood and ran towards the Shi-ishin's best sword wielder. Kenshin ducked under the swing, but not before it left a slash on his left cheek. Spinning, he raised his sword and it connected with the base of his opponent's neck. Kenshin turned around, shocked to see his opponent cough up blood and lay motionless.

A doctor walked into the waiting room holding a clipboard. A young woman was sitting at the receiving room, waiting anxiously for the results. "I'm afraid Kiyosato Akira will not be able to move again. He is in a state of paralysis."
The woman paled as tears began to form in her eyes. "Isn't there anything else the doctors could do?"
"I'm sorry but we did everything we could." The doctor stayed a little longer to let the information sink in. After seeing her reaction, he turned around and walked back down the hall. He shook his head, sighing while thinking of the loss that occurred.
The beautiful woman ran towards Kiyosato's room and threw her arms at him. She buried her head in his chest as her tears fell continuously from her eyes. Kiyosato… why did you have to fight him? You never needed to prove your worth… She felt as if her heart had been ripped out from her chest. She was filled with mixed emotions of anguish, desolation and loneliness. After hours of mourning, her eyes were all dried out. She felt her heart numb as a new feeling crept inside her.
Hate.
Hate for the one who hurt her love. Hate for the Shi-ishin's Battousai.
She took Kiyosato's wakizashi on top of the chair with a new resolve. To kill and take revenge on Battousai.
She walked out of Kiyosato's room and went to the lobby where Battousai, his shishou and other spectators were waiting. She saw Kenshin sitting at the corner, his face expressionless.
How could he seem so calm after what he did!!! He is such a bloodthirsty killer! She thought.
Kenshin was alarmed when he felt a strong battle ki approaching. He was surprised when he saw that it was a woman. Tomoe caught him off-guard and he almost didn't notice the dagger that was headed towards him. He dodged it a second too late and the next thing he knew was his cheek was bleeding.
Kenshin's eyes widened and he held his hand to his new wound. Realizing who she was, he pressed his eyes closed and limply dropped his head.
"Why did you do that to Kiyosato!? Do you have to settle everything with your sword? You can't gain honor doing that! Why? Do you find honor in people's sufferings!?" She said shakily.
"Gomen nasai, Tomoe-san." He muttered under his breath. "I never intended it to end that way. Fighting in this competition meant accepting all the risks involved. We were both fighting for our own dojo and… I didn't mean it to end this way. I didn't mean to cause you any pain. I'm really sorry." His sincere violet eyes showed his guilt.
Tomoe too was shocked for attempting to kill Kenshin. She dropped the dagger she held and cast her head down as she motioned towards Kiyosato's room. She stopped her steps and slightly turned her head. "I … I forgive you. Kiyosato wouldn't want me to hold any grudge in my heart. He knew the risks involved…" and he continued for me. It would be wrong if I don't forgive Kenshin. It will disappoint Kiyosato as he didn't want to disappoint me. With that said she left.
Authors Notes:
Kiyosato Akira belong to the Senshin dojo. Senshin… get it? As in Shinsengumi. As for Kenshin, he belongs to the Shi-ishin dojo as in Ishinshishi.
