"Shades of The Revolution"
(Prelude)
"Darkness... that's all life has ever been for me." Said a boy
with crimson red hair with amber, emotionless eyes. He was staring up
into the night sky while walking away from his prey for the night. Was
he always a bloody, cold-hearted assassin? No. He had a life. The one
he wished would come back in the form of a woman named Tomoe. "Tomoe."
He said in his head, he was barely 15 when he started his life as an
assassin, and since for the past 3 years he couldn't stop killing for
a group called the Inn Shishi (I don't know how to spell it). From the
moment he picked up the sword he was only a kid who wanted to protect
others, but in order to accomplish that he would have to kill others.
That where the name "Hitokiri Battousai" came from, he was the most
feared assassin in Japan at his time. But, All he wanted was to put
his sword to rest from killing to protecting others, to just using his
sword to protect people without killing.
He thought of that as he entered the Inn Shishi headquarters located
inside of an inn. He walked into the bathing room and quickly took off
his clothes and put them in a basket where the other assassins put
they're bloodstained clothes in for cleaning and for a quick return in
the morning. He cleaned his Katana and Wakazashi, while getting
dressed in his Yukita for the night. He quickly left the bathing room
so he would not smell the blood from his and the other assassin's
targets for the night. He climbed the stairs and went up to the second
floor.
He quickly entered his room the locked the door. He laid his back
against the wall with one leg up right, while the other lay on the
ground. He put his katana up against his shoulder, right next to his
trademark cross scar and found sleep was on his side tonight. The next
morning there was a knock on his door and a voice was saying "Mr.
Himura your clothes are cleaned" it was one of the maids. Battousai
got up and got dressed in his navy blue Gi and white pants. He went
down stairs into a meeting room and sat down in a nice chair. The
meeting (As usual) was very boring to Battousai, but he kept his guard
up just to be sure that no one would try to pull an assassination job
on the people in the room. Battousai yawned and got up, the meeting
was over and his boss handed him a black note. Black. Meaning a night
assassination job. He just looked at it and sighed.
"Well, looks like another person will die at the end of my blade
tonight."
Kenshin left the meeting room and decided to go for a walk since it
was 9Am in the morning. Kenshin walked around Kyoto and bought some
goods from the locals. He passed by a house; it was the Aoiya (Sp?)
the place where the Oniwabanasu lived. But, he didn't know that. All
he knew it was a house he just kept frequently passing by after his
daily assassination, to stare at the garden before heading back to the
inn. Last night he was so distracted by his thoughts he forgot to look
at it. "Why do I always come over here?" he said to himself. It was
because looking at that garden reminded him of his love, Tomoe. It was
something that was a bad habit to him. He left the garden and went
back to the inn.
Later that night
Battousai crept out of the inn and into the shadows of the night. He
was in full hitokiri mode and was dashing so fast that if you could
see him you would only see a blur. He went to his hiding spot and
waited for his target. Battousai heard voices in the mist and started
to creep forward toward his target. The man stopped right in front of
Battousai. "Assassin!!!" The man screamed. It was his last word. In
less than a second his head was rolling right off his shoulders. His
body fell on the ground with pool of blood surround him. "Easy",
Battousai said while sheathing his katana and walking away from the
man. Battousai suddenly stopped. Something was not right. He turned
around a saw a girl, probably 17 years of age. She was starring at the
body and she was crying. "Father." The girl said while running away
from her father after seeing his assassin appearing back to the scene.
"Shit!" Battousai said while chasing after the girl. He caught up to
the girl in an alley and pinned her to the wall with his katana near
her throat so she would not try to run again. "Why did you kill my
father?!?!?!?!" the girl yelled. Battousai covered her mouth so she
would not wake up everyone in the damn city. "Dammit the note said
that he would be alone, I'll kill the person who gave the information
to the chief!" Battousai said inside of his head. "Who are you?"
Battousai asked to the girl as to not scare her more than she was
already of him.
"Kamiya Karou" The girl answered. She was looking at his eyes, his
amber eyes. She was shaking at the thought that he would kill her.
Like her father.
"Come with me" Battousai said angrily to her while walking past to the
Aoiya, so he could look at the garden.
"Um, why are we stopping?" Karou asked. Battousai snapped back to
reality and remembered that the girl was right next to him, "No
reason, lets go" They entered the inn and Battousai put Karou in his
room and told her to stay there. He went down stairs into the meeting
room and talked to his boss about the girl who saw him kill.
"Why didn't you tell me he had a daughter with him!?!?!?!" Battousai
yelled at his boss.
"Well things can change at the last minute Himura-san, I can't stop
the bastard from bring his daughter with." Katsura replied. They're
conversation took another 2 hour and Karou was very bored.
"Is he gonna bore me to death?" Karou asked herself while picking up
and reading a book from the pile that Battousai normally sleeps
against. "Books will do nicely" She picked up a book labeled "Secrets
Of The Sun"-By Lamina Kaura. The book told a tale about a woman who
was traveling to the ends of the earth in search of something very
precious and dear to her. The door slammed opened and an angry, stress
out Battousai emerged. Karou was scared half to death because of this.
Battousai looked at her and laid out a futon for her. "Sleep there and
be quiet" Battousai said harshly. He lay against the wall in sleeping
position. Karou laid down on her futon and fell asleep and so did
Kenshin.
The Next Morning
Battousai was awoken by a scream in his room it was from Karou. "What
is it now?" Battousai said tiredly and angrily he only got 3 hours of
sleep when he normally gets 5. "A G-Giant bug!" Karou said in terror,
like the bug was going to eat her. Battousai looked at the bug then
grinned evilly. He picked it up and threw it at her face, she screamed
then fainted. "Pay back for waking me up when I didn't want to"
Battousai amusingly to Karou, then he got up and went down for another
boring meeting. Karou reawaked after 30 minutes and went down stairs
for breakfast. Karou entered the kitchen and looked around. No one was
in there. So, She made her own breakfast and sat down in the back of
the room so she could eat alone and not be disturbed. But, the inn
started to come alive and more people started to come out and eat
breakfast like her. Some girls that worked at the inn were probably on
they're break and wanted to sit down next to Kaoru. They had a
conversation about upcoming Sakura Festival and Karou learned that
three of the girl's names were Kayko, Miyuki, and Recca.
They were talking for at least 1 hour before the girls had to go back
to work. Karou waved goodbye to them and went back to Battousai's
room. When she entered the room a pair of amber eyes were glaring at
her. Karou entered the room glaring at those eyes, while walking to
her futon and sat down. "Where were you?" Battousai said strait
forward. "Not till you apologize to me for what you did to me last
night and this morning." Karou said in her stuck up attitude.
"I don't have to apologize to a baka like you." Battousai said. He did this just for the heck of it and to see how she would react to him saying that.
"Idiot? Idiot?!?!? YOU BETTER BE NICE TO ME OR I'LL, I'LL." Karou said in a VERY pissed off tone.
"You'll what kill me?" Battousai said amusingly while enjoying this very nice conversation between himself and Baka-No-Karou. Karou was getting VERY VERY pissed of at the hitokiri and felt like she was going to give him a few good smacks with her trusty bokken. Battousai thought she looked cute all mad and stuff. He should make her mad more often. 'It should be quite fun doing this to her.' Battousai thought to himself. Just then something smack him on the head and caused him to fall over.
"Oroooo." Battousai said with swirly-eyes (Yes he said "Oroooo" People!!!!!). He regained his composer moments later and was shooting death glares at Kaoru now. "What hell was that for Onna?!?!?!?" Battousai yelled. Karou had the look on her face like she just won the lottery with her trusty bokken. Her prize was revenge. "Pay back for making me look like a fool!" Karou yelled at Battousai. "But, you always look like fool." Battousai countered. Karou's face now was a dark blood red and she had steam coming out of her ears. "YOUR DEAD!!!" Just as Karou face going to land her fatal attack on Battousai the door burst opened. "Nani oh?!?!?" Battousai said.
