Claims

They swear he's like a demon, with amber eyes that claim your soul, just as a wicked blade rips your life away. Every man has heard that tale, most scoff at such nonsense.
Of course they wouldn't mock such claims when the man next to them would suddenly be slashed apart in the night air. The only thing that you could do then is pray to whatever god is listening, that you'd be spared.
Then amber eyes would mock the darkness like you once mocked Battousai's existence.
That's the last thing you'd see, as you feel pain.
And then… nothing.
A/N: 'Tis a ficlet, I'll be making a few of them based on the Bakumatsu time period. If anyone reads any of my other fics, now's your chance to ask for me to update one of em.
