I don't own Kenshin. But I got a Kenshin picture book thing! Does that count?
Dark Hatred:
Tenshi smiled peacefully at red moon, enjoying the wind that played with her midnight dark hair. She loved how the wind made her high ponytail swish and swing back and forth. She closed her eyes and reveled in the crisp, cool breeze.
But her moment of peace was interrupted as she felt a dark presence press at her soul, and the sudden smell of blood pervaded her senses. She quickly pinpointed the source from her perch on her client's roof.
A large group of men strutted down the street. Their very manner suggested that they owned the area. The civilians hushed and quickly pushed the stray children into the houses. They laughed, as they taunted and harmed those around them.
Tenshi glared at them, disliking the gangs that took advantage of the situation and forced people to pay for their 'protection'. She knew no true group of samurai would be so rude toward their surroundings and the country they fought for. She was sick of disrespectful idiots who further tormented the poor people who were already in fear of the war.
As they drew near, she leapt from her post and soared down upon them like a horrendous bird of prey. She unclasped her dark cloak, which flew away, and she landed upon one of them with a version of the Ryu Tsui Sen.
She jumped away, and stood in the midst of their shocked expressions. "State your name and your purpose," she demanded icily, her head tilted forward so that her long bangs covered the majority of he face.
One of the men growled and stepped forward, "I am Hakara of the Ishin Shishi! And we will destroy any opposition to the modernization of Japan!"
Tenshi glared, angered by the name of the Shinsen Gumi's nemesis. She finally understood Saito's great hatred for them. "Bastards, if allowing the Westerners into Japan means people like you may walk to the streets of this sacred land, then I cannot allow such a thing to occur," she said icily.
"SHINE! (DIE!)" she yelled as she charged at them with a two-hand grip upon her katana, which was positioned diagonally across her body. The man flinched into his stance, but he failed to meet her attack prepared.
Her katana ripped a slash across his body in one fluid movement, and sidestepped around his crumpling body to eliminate the man behind him.
He was a bit more prepared than the first. His katana came down upon her, but her sheath pushed it away just as quickly. Caught off guard and defenseless in that short moment, he suffered the same fate as his squad leader as Tenshi's katana punctuated his body and through his heart.
As she kicked his body off her sword, she eyed the rest of the shivering group. Half of them, angered by the quick defeat of two of their men, charged at her. Tenshi stood her ground and held her katana vertically and waited patiently for the precise moment. In a quick sweep, the men's charge turned into their downfall as they all fell to the ground, with severed bodies.
She casually stepped over their bodies, as a quick slash in the thick air ridded the blade of the staining blood. The remaining men of this squad of the Ishin Shishi were either frozen with the terrifying fear evident in their eyes, or they were scampering away like insignificant rats.
"This is for the Shinsen Gumi!" she shouted…
-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-
Tomoe… you married a horrible man… The Ishin Shishi are monsters! Tenshi thought angrily, as she retrieved the last kunai that was buried into the man's head. I hope you realize that soon, because you deserve someone so much better than that, nee-san… She fumed, not hearing the dying man's last words…
Author's Note:
*Screaming and running away from everyone* Don't hurt me please! It's part of the plot! *peeks out from hiding place and sees it's safe* Oh yeah, Tomoe's dying next chapter. AH! *hides from a second wave of weapons*
This is my first time doing a fight scene.. heh heh… Please review and tell me how I did! Any criticism would help! [Or I can just find some other person to do it for me.] Anyway, hope you liked it! Thank you for previous reviews too! [PS: Perhaps anyone could tell me how Tomoe died exactly? I don't trust my memory too much.]
