Ok, Chapter 3. I'm so sorry it's been taking me so long to do this! I've kept trying to get these chapters on, but it hasn't worked until now so I've decided to post chapters 2 and 3 today.
I'm also aware that this is marked under Inuyasha. He doesn't show up until some of the later chapters though… But there is a reason he's in here and as the main character (besides Kat and Kenshin). You'll just have to read and find out where he shows up!
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
Shattered Dreams and Broken Hearts
Chapter 3
He was still mourning over his lost love when there was a snap of a twig.
He didn't hear it though; the only thing he could hear was the sound his sword had made when it went through his wife's body.
Leaves from a near by bush began to rustle and Kenshin still did not know what was awaiting him.
Forty men had been sent to follow and arrest him but the captain of the police knew that it was probably just a waist of time... and men.
The men had surrounded him and were beginning to load their guns.
Kenshin was beginning to feel the effects of his own massive blood loss and knew he had to get help soon but he just didn't want to move.
The men in the trees took aim.
Kenshin suddenly felt their presence and his eyes shot open.
He frantically looked around in the snow for his sword but it had been covered with fresh snow, which made it impossible to see.
He knew that he was in deep shit.
When he had turned his other senses back on he could smell gunpowder through the blood.
"FIRE!"
There was a defining sound as all forty guns sent their bullets flying.
Kenshin used what little speed he had left and tried to dodge the bullets.
There was a loud splintering sound as a bullet entered his leg and shattered the bone.
Two other bullets managed to loge themselves into one of his arms and many other ones had grazed his skin.
He lay there in the crimson colored snow not knowing if he could move.
He knew that if he didn't do something fast he would die.
The men in the trees began reloading their guns and he knew that he had to get moving.
Kenshin didn't know if he had any strength left.
The awful image of him cutting his wife in half and the thought that she had given her life to save him flashed through his mind.
The terrible memory brought new strength to his nearly useless limbs.
Kenshin would not let her die in vain.
He sat up, coughed up blood, and then continued to stand.
The first few steps he took were agonizing and it hurt even more when he began to run.
Most of the men had finished reloading their guns.
He had reached the edge of the waterfall's cliff.
Wind whipped at his hair and clothes.
"FIRE!"
His tripped and began to fall backwards.
A dull thud was heard when a bullet passed through his chest but he had fallen unconscious long before that.
The men saw him go over the falls.
They knew that he had to be dead.
There was no way that man could be alive since he had lost so much blood.
There was also the fact that no one had ever survived going over the falls....
(A/N: Muhaha! Just felt like being evil today. Also not much on this chapter to rewrite… PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
