If you didn't see them I
A twenty-eight year old Kenshin looked out of a window at the Kamiya Kasshin dojo. He'd just gotten up and it was hardly past six in the morning. He'd dreamed the whole thing. He had remembered his "glory" days as a Battousai. Those were over, and now he was here, in Tokyo. Not in Kyoto.
Kaoru walked in and put her hand on Kenshin's shoulder. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. . . just had a bad night, that's all."
"Nightmare?"
"No-" he was trying not to be childish. But besides the fact he did have a nightmare of his Battousai days.
"Kenshin, you've been here almost six months and you still can't tell us anything?"
"I can. . . just it's hard to remember the days where I was killing for money. I was apart of the Cho Choshu."
"Who are they?"
"An army I worked for. I was there before I-" he stopped. He didn't want to remember Tomoe. He didn't want to remember anything that he wouldn't want to.
"Before what."
"Never mind. I have to get some tofu, I do."
"Kenshin. . ."
Kenshin walked down the Tokyo road past the markets. He passed Sano and got a flashback from last night. He'd seen him at the camp.
Kenshin quickly left and walked past. He got to the tofu store and purchased some. He had the money in his hands when he remembered a cold Kyoto night.
An eighteen year old Kenshin runs from pursing Shinsengumi members. He jumps up and lands on a building about ten feet tall. The Shinsengumi runs by and Kenshin jumps down-unnoticed.
He runs towards the last one and dives to the wall, his feet hit it and he runs down the wall, his sword dragging along. The members' necks are torn apart and blood goes everywhere. Shinpachi (Captain of the Second Troop) dives underneath it and Kenshin lands in front of him.
Shinpachi takes his sword and gets up, in a defensive position. He charges Kenshin who jumps up doing a front flip over him and then landing.
Shinpachi falls, blood oozing from his mouth, ears, and neck.
"Hello!?" says the man at the counter. Kenshin finds himself on the floor and Sano over top him. The man at the counter was to his left and some lady was to his right.
"Woah Kenshin, I saw the whole thing, you fell like a fly!"
"I did?"
"You bet! What happened?"
"Nothing, I just fell. . ."
"On air?"
"Yes. If that's the case it is."
"What's up with you?"
"Sorry, Sano. Its just I'm having some problems lately." He gets up and picks up his sword. It had fallen as he did.
"Can I help at all?"
"No-you cant I'm sorry. I have to deal with this on my own."
"Don't tell me that, remember a month ago you said the same thing and went of to kill Shishio by yourself? You ended up needing help in the end as well. So don't give me that."
". . . Fine. First lets go to the dojo."
"'Kay"
At the Kamiya Kasshin Dojo
Kenshin sits down with Sano and Kaoru sitting in front of him. "So Kenshin. You mind telling us what's been up with you lately?" said Sano.
". . .Well. You all know how I used to be Battousai the Manslayer. Well. . . my days as a killer are starting to haunt me. I don't know how long it will last or how long these 'visions' will last. All I know is that I don't like them and they don't like me."
"What if you told us them? Maybe that'll help?" said Kaoru. She puts her hand on Kenshin's. "We're here to help."
"Well. . . it started like this. . ."
Kenshin slices the final slice on a victim. Blood goes everywhere a lady in white in front of him is covered in it. "You made it rain. . ." she said. "Rain blood." Kenshin looks at her-stunned.
Later on- Kenshin plows a field and a young Enishi gives him a bad look. He walks off and Kenshin continues.
"We found the traitor. It's Tomoe. Over the mountain is a temple with our friends. Tomoe should be there. Get rid of her."
Kenshin walks past the last of his dead foes. He looks in front of him and sees a man in front of him. The man says some words that Kenshin couldn't remember. He starts to fight him and the man throws his dagger towards Kenshin. Kenshin counters at the same time by trying to slash him. Tomoe jumps in the way and is killed along with the man.
"Woah." Sano looks at Kenshin. "So you were married to her? She's your first wife."
"And so far my only."
"How sad." Kaoru stairs at Kenshin and remembers all the times she almost died, it would have probably been Kenshin's second big loss.
"How about you tell us more on a cup of sake."
". . .alright. If it will help."
