Disclaimer: I don't own Aoshi…though I've gotten comments that he should be next, so I figured, why not? Han'nya will be after him, I hope.
The Head's Ambition
I want
The title for you all.
I want
Us to be known as
Manslayers.
I want you four
To be legends.
Will you let me lead,
Still?
We leave our home
Of many years,
We travel to a city
Alone,
We have so little
To do.
Han'nya, savage and
Proud,
Defending my honor
Is your greatest goal.
Shikijo, wise
And strong.
Your livelihood
Rests on my whims.
Hyottoko, not smart,
But so very resilient,
I know that you
Would give it all up for me.
And Beshimi, quick,
Fiery wielder of poison,
I see your loyalty
In every move.
I trust you all with my back, and
Even more so with
My life.
Though we have so few
Happy moments
Now,
We are
At peace.
Fighting is our
Dream…
That has become a nightmare.
You fools!
Spare yourselves, flee!
Do not waste
That life…
The gatling gun steals
It with volley
After volley of
Steel.
Han'nya…
Shikijo…
Hyottoko…
Beshimi…
All now at rest,
At peace.
Wish I that same peace
Protected my ravaged soul.
You will bear your
Rightful title,
For Himura Battousai's
Head will be
Laid before you.
Heh. Before Aoshi becomes an ally to the Kenshin-gumi, all he wanted was for his men to be respect for who they were, not him. And when they die in protecting him, all his heart longs for is Kenshin's head on a platter. That okay for Aoshi fans?
Laters!
Yay! Reviews!
Vegeta26-Thanks for reviewing twice! I plan to! –salutes-
Jasmine Reinier-Thank you! Yup, I'm doing all four of the Oniwabanshu, and all the Juppongatana. I'd have to be nuts not to do Saito too!
Saitouu Ryuuji-Ya think so? Cool. I'll check out your fic as soon as my chaotic schedule allows. (gimme till Thursday).
mimura no miko 19-Aoshi's up! Check his out and tell me whatcha think!
mimura no miko 19- Yes, I'm doing them in order of appearance, at least for a little while. Han'nya's up next, then Shikijo. I don't really want to do Beshimi and Hyottoko, but after the others, it's Kaoru, then everyone else in order. Hiko's going to be interesting, as will Saito. Stay tuned, and now, for your local news coverage!
Laters!
