I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, or anything else like that. I do own,
however, this poem I wrote for my English I class. Based on the RK anime
episodes I had seen at the time, my teacher never saw anything like this
coming and was a bit worried about my sanity being intact. Luckily, I lost
it in the sixth grade, so she doesn't have to worry too much. I love the
refrain, for it ROCKS, and the pic at the bottom, I didn't draw, I found it
on theotaku.com's fanart site. Review please!
Battousai
By: Nehszriah
Alone is how he did walk
Obliged, that is he
To a vow of which few talk
For many know of his past
A bloody past
The Revolution came and went
Young Emperor Meiji now rules
This man's purpose was long spent
And now lives with regret
Of a bloody past
Kenshin Himoura, this man was called
By his family, his poor family
All dead, with the others, they're all
Murdered in cold blood, the very start
Of a bloody past
Not a mercenary, nor a soldier
A Battousai, a Man-Slayer
Very few have been bolder
Than to face him in battle
With his bloody past
For Meiji, he would kill
And many during the Revolution
Have fallen to his skill
The expert swordsman
With a bloody past
The true master, that he is
Of every sword technique
Every stance, blow, counter, for he is
Hitokiri Battousai- the un-human man
With a bloody past
Battousai the Man-Slayer is, for now
A harmless wanderer, but armed
With a reverse-blade, he won't kill now
And hasn't for ten years, in repentance
For his bloody past
Kenshin has now found
Friends in Tokyo
Yahiko, Karou, Sanouske now
Call Ken "friend" though they know
Of the poor man's bloody, bloody past
