Chapter 4 7:54 a.m. Review or I will eat you.

"Hey, Himura!" said Lizuka from behind Kenshin. He turned around, carrying two buckets of tofu.
"Lizuka?"
"Hey, Himura. How did the battle go yesterday?"
"Where were you?"
"Doing stuff, so how did it go?"
"Good, I fought Okita, again."
"Heh, not as easy as you might have thought, eh?"
"Nope. It was probably one of the toughest fights, but I survived and that's that."
"Alright, well Katsura needs to talk to you, he's got a very important job for you, and you could get a lot of money from it!" Kenshin then starts to really pay attention.
"Alright, where is he?"
"The inn, I believe."
"Alright see you Lizuka."
"See you, Himura, I'll be in town!"

Inn 8:10 a.m.

Kenshin walks around the inn looking for Katsura and finally finds him in his room. "Katsura, wanted to see me?"
"Yes, Himura." He was damned serious.
"What is it?"
"We've got a problem, nothing serious but it still is a problem."
"Yes?"
"Well. an Imperial Army called the Seikihoutai
"What about them?"
"They have right now about five thousand men, we have three thousand. We were ordered to attack them, and I don't like the odds, Himura."

"."
"Well, you better be off, we don't attack in till three tomorrow, and you've got a job tonight, so get ready."
"Alright."
"What is the job?"
"Nothing big, just a small job, kill a couple of people."
"Who?"
"One is a general of the Seikihoutai. His name is Sagara Sozo. He is pretty much their leader and once their leader falls they will be weak and have no leadership. So we need you to go out and get him!"
"Woah, you said a little job but okay I'll do it."

Later that night, 12:34 Seikihoutai Camp, Outer Kyoto

Kenshin slowly moved along the tents and fireplaces. He stopped at each one to see if it was Sagara's but he found no luck. While passing by a fireplace a young Sanosuke sleeps with his back against a log. He is smiling.
Kenshin finally finds his tent and is about to puncture the generals neck when he slips and falls on a puddle outside the small tent. Everyone gets up and notices that Kenshin, an assassin is about to slaughter their leader.
"So." says Sozo. "You must be a Hitoriki, for the Cho Choshu." Kenshin looks around at the men of the Seikihoutai surrounding him. "Well, Hitoriki, you aren't going to get your target today!" he charges Kenshin.
Kenshin blocks his sword and throws him into a couple of other guys. He then charges a group behind him and kills them instantly. Sano looks over at the slaughterfest. Sagara pushes him back and says, "Sanosuke! Run, come back tomorrow, I don't want you to see this!"
"Okay! Tomorrow!" Sano runs off.
Kenshin sees Sagara running towards him and blocks his sword. He then slices his stomach but doesn't get the kill. Now five thousand people are attacking him. He then hears the cries of the Cho Choshu running down a hill. All three thousand of them, including Lizuka and Katsura.
Now a lot of the soldiers are off Kenshin and at the new threat. Kenshin runs and attacks the soldiers running towards his men.
The soldiers meet halfway and start to kill each other. This goes on for hours. In the end the Seikihoutai eventually retreats with about thirty soldiers left. The following day they are killed and slaughtered by their own government. Sano and another child are the only survivors.

Now wasn't that sad? Well. review plz! I thank the one person for already reviewing!
