Saito grins,
The thrill of battle
Runs through his veins.
Kenshin has no
Emotion on his face,
Always ready to defend.
Saito is chuckles with joy,
He is the only one
That has brought back the Battousai.
Kenshin's eyes glow yellow,
He and Saito are not in Tokyo,
They are in Kyoto ten years ago.
Shinsengumi former leader,
Perfect with his Gatotsu.
Strikes with awesome speed.
Kenshin dodges this blow,
His face now alive with fury.
The Wolf invaded his territory.
The Wolf is looks with amaze
As the Imperialist keeps going,
The blood of his wound ignored completely.
Hair let loose,
He is not coming back
To you, Koaru-Sama.
Koaru-Sama cries out,
Afraid of this hidden
Battousai the Manslayer.
Kenshin flies off the ceiling,
Dertermined to strike down
The Lone Shinsengumi Wolf.
Twinge of metal,
Half a sword plunges
Into the wooden floor.
But Saito is not done yet.
Fake the next attack
And grab the jacket lying on the floor.
Hung in the air,
Kenshin is desperate for breath,
As Saito's jacket cuts in his throat.
His hand thrusts back,
Catching Saito off guard.
They both gasp for air.
The next strike will end this fight.
Both are on the brink of exhaustion,
But the fire in their eyes stays.
Drags the limbs of the bodies up to attack,
The charge at each other,
The blood of another the goal of both.
But the cry of defeat is never heard.
Frozen in the attack stance,
Both glare at the intruder.
An old friend has interrupted,
Not wanting the blood of either
To spill that night.
Saito did his job.
The strength of the Manslayer
Reported and determined.
The old friend is desperate.
Help us, he says.
We need you again, Battousai.
