Chapter 2:Times to be remembered and the Birth of Battousai
adl......................................................................................................
There was a time in Kenshin's life when everything was so perfect. He had the perfect life, perfect family, and perfect friends. But as they say good things always have to come to an end, and give way to hardships. And that is what happened. After a time of happiness, came a time of despair.
Adl...................................................................................................
When Kenshin was a kid, Hiko, Kaoru's father found him wandering aimlessly around a forest where their dojo was near by. Seeing the child's special abilities, he decided to take care of him and teach him the art of Hiten Mitsurugi as his successor.
While in his care, Kenshin met Hiko's daughter Kaoru, and was fascinated by her. As they grew they became closer and closer until he started falling in love with her. He then decided to tell her what he felt, but when he was about too something bad happened.
"Kaoru, I have to tell you something,"
"Yes, what is it?"
"Kaoru I.....I....."
"You what?"
"Kaoru I lo-"
crash!!
Shards of broken glass scattered through the floor.
"Kenshin! Get Kaoru out of here! NOW!" Hiko said while rushing outside trying to distract the unknown men who ambushed their home looking for Kaoru.
"Kaoru, let's get out of here!" Kenshin said while grabbing Kaoru's arm, and leading her out of their home.
"But Kenshin, what about Otou-san? We can't leave him here! He'll die!" Kaoru said tears blurring her vision.
"Kaoru, Shishou said he'll be fine. We have to go now before-"
"AHHHH!!!" Hiko screamed while blood was pouring so swiftly out of the gash on his chest.
Kaoru ran to her father so swiftly that Kenshin didn't realize it.
"OTOU-SAN!!!!"
Kaoru cradled her father to her forgetting about the men that were approaching her. She didn't realize that she was the target until she felt large hands taking her away from her father. She started to panick.
"Kenshin! Kenshin!!" Kaoru cried out, tears pouring down from her beautiful face, as the man knocked her unconscious.
Rushing to her he grabbed Hiko's sword.
"Don't you dare touch her, you bastards!!"
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu Kuzuryusen!!!!"
Kenshin easily injured five of the assailants, but was unable to attack the others.
"Oh, how sweet, little prince charming wants to save his little princess...to bad we can't give her back to yah, we need her special abilities."
Using his telekinetic powers he threw sharp pieces of wood at them. But to no prevail.
He suddenly felt a sharp object pricking him, and he was suddenly getting dizzy.
"Kuso!..."
"Kaoru"
Then there was darkness.
Adl........................adl................................adl
"Kaoru!" Kenshin woke up with a start.
"I see that you are awake my boy" said a middle aged old man.
"Whe-where am I?" Kenshin asked confusedly.
"Your in an Ishin-shishi base camp here in Kyoto. My names Katsura Kogoro"
"I have to get up, I have to look for her"
Katsura knotted his brow. "Look for who?"
"Kaoru. I have to save her." Kenshin said while struggling to stand up.
"I'm sorry to say this dear boy, but you won't be able to look for her in your condition." Katsura said pushing Kenshin to lie back down on that futon.
"Here drink this. It'll help you calm down and sleep"
Putting the cup to Kenshin's lips, Katsura urged him to drink.
Kenshin eventually went to sleep.
Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, Kenshin began to grow stronger, and as he grew stronger his willingness to save Kaoru also grew stronger with each passing day. That is until he began to lose all hope of finding her. That is when Katsura offered Kenshin the job of being his assassin because of his great sword fighting skills and with the promise of helping Kenshin find Kaoru, Kenshin agreed to it. As time passed Kenshin became Japan's most deadly assassin Hitokiri Battousai............
His work will later on be worth it because years later he would again be reunited with his beloved
