It's modern day. The streets are rife with violence; corporations are corrupt; assassinations, commonplace. Himura Kenshin, known only as Battousai, is a shadow assassin for an organization so secret even he doesn't know who truly runs it. BUT Battousai has an even bigger secret; one that if it were ever discovered would mean more than his death...it would end in the total annihilation of his soul. Battousai is not only the deadliest assassin to ever prowl the dark streets of night...he is also a vampire, one of the oldest still in existence…and a rarity among his kind.
He has a soul.

Tears of Eternity
by: Chiruken
A Heart of Grief
An eternity of sorrow
A soul that should never be
An endless stretch of tomorrows
A heart that dare not be free
Humanity long forgotten
Cursed with immortality
Forced to endure the pain again
A man invoking pity
A creature of the darkest night
His presence brings naught but fear
He hides his pain with all his might
Refusing to show his tears
A soul in pain, a heart of grief
A man consumed by regret
Decades endured without relief
The die is cast, his fate…set
Cast from the light into darkness
Shadows growing all around
His heart grows weary with distress
His soul breaks without a sound
He longs for sleep, eternal rest
An end to years of torment
A way to ease the emptiness
From all the tears of grief spent
All hope is lost, the pain too strong
He hides deep his weary heart
He dares not wish for what he longs
A way to find a new start
A soul in pain, a heart of grief
A man consumed by regret
Decades endured without relief
The die is cast, his fate…set
