The Hitokiri Battousai.

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own the anime Rurouni Kenshin.

Hitokiri Battousai calmly flicked the blood of his victim off his sword.

His waist-length blood red hair blew in the wind regardless of the hair-tie holding it in a pony-tail,his amber eyes flashed and the criss-cross shaped scar on his left cheek added to his vicious image.

His soon-to-be victim cowered in fear at the sight of Battousai and his fallen friend.It was true what they said about Battousai, he had god-like speed, senses which could detect the ki of anything and strength none would expect for a man his size.

The body of the next victim's companion had a single sword wound which went right through the neck, blood spilled out in all directions turning the ground into a puddle of crimson.A cruel smirk played on Battousais' face making him look like a demon,his victim would never reach Kyoto.

You could see the lust for blood in Batttousais' eyes, he opened his mouth and in a voice so soft you could have sworn it was part of the wind said: "It doesn't matter use whatever technique you like,however when I say "I will kill you" your death is assured.From the moment anything comes into exsistence it is doomed to die,I'm just giving you a head start….to hell that is…"

Fear consumed the victims' heart causing it to beat faster,Battousai had tracked him down like a cat and this game of cat and mouse had become an execution.Without a moments' hesitation Battousai lunged towards towards the helpless man with his amazing speed and thrust his sword into the opponents' gut and without pulling the sword out slashed diagonally downwards towards the mans leg.

As the sword cut through the victims' body muscles and organs ripped and spilled out their juices.Battousai withdrew his sword and in a flash-second lept away from the dieing man.Battousai thrust the sword into the ground and with a quick flick of his wrist withdrew it,the grounded exploded towards the opponent making cracks along the way very much in the same way an earthquake can.

Then he once again lunged towards the man,who happened to be coughing up his own blood and had kneeled over in sheer agony and a mess of torn organs and bodily juices.The cruel smirk reappeared on Battousais' face as he slashed at his opponent.

When it was over the mess of which had once been a body fell to the ground with numerous bleeding lasserations, the rib cage torn open as the heart gave one last beat,the face of the victim in a screaming position but the sound never had a chance to be released.The pulp of the abdomen area was covered by the legs in a fetal position and the murderer himself whispered to none: "proceed to hell…"

Hitokiri Battousai did an about turn and wandered off in search of new prey….it was all for the new era…..
