The Tears of an Assassin (Part 2)“There will be a new world where a man will live in peace…”“Will we go…to Otsu?”“My bloody hands…and sword…will assure its creation…”“Tomoe…I will…protect you…”“The wife of a druggist doesn’t need to be armed”“I will…”“Will we go…to Otsu?”“I will…kill!”Soft daylight caressed his face. Only the sounds of the calm day were reaching his ears. His eyelids flattered a little and barely opened. He winced by the sharp pain in his scull. What had happened to him? Whe
The Tears of an Assassin“Aaargh!”A red-haired man let out another cry and his long sword clanged with his opponent’s sword. He twisted around himself and then the sword he was holding cut through his opponent, cutting flesh, bone and muscle like butter. Red, hot blood flowed out of the wound like a fountain and the man fell to the ground letting his last breath out. The red-haired assassin’s muscles relaxed and he looked down at his dead opponent. His eyes were showing no emotion outside, but inside them there was a deep sadness. The day was a warm, spring day. No cloud was marking the pure, blue sky and the leaves of the trees above his hea
RK: Legend of Yuki Onna Chapter 1: BedriddenChapter 1: BedriddenThe old man looked around the room, the girl he found was still unconscious. He managed to stop the bleeding and sewed up the wound. There was just one problem.He didn't have any bandages and was running low on medicines.The old man opened the window a little, since it was too hot in the house."I'll be back." He said to the girl knowing she couldn't hear him.Slipping on his winter coat and straw hat, he locked the door.A few snowflakes landed on Tomoe's porcelain skin from the cracked window.-----Katashi carried bags of medicine and groceries. He did this for months, and still no sign of the girl waking up.
Ruroni Kenshin: The legend of Yuki Onna Prologue:Unknown POV:I stirred in my dark world of dreamless slumber. The smell of smoke tickled my nose. Was someone cooking something? I was laying down on a soft bed, but the sheets were soaked with something wet with a sour smell. A sharp pain from my back jolted me awake. Groaning, I slowly opened my eyes when the pain subsided. They adjusted to the darkness in the room. Goosebumps crawled up and down my legs and arms through the white kimono I wore. Who dressed me? "Ah!" I cried clutching my head, it ached as if someone banged it repeatedly into a wall.Blood trickled down my left ear. I wiped
Maybe I'll confess to her tomorrow.Kenshin sat just outside the door to the Kamiya Dojo.He stared absently into the night, thinking about all that's happend to him even since meeting Kaoru.A small smile graced his features when her image came to mind.Kamiya Kaoru, she was indeed a remarkable young Woman, not only did she brave the dark and terrible truth about his past, she allowed him to live under her roof, but she even came to care for and befriend him,Him, the bloodthirsty killer, the man turned Demon, Japan's most dangerous and feared Swordsmen.The care eventually grew into a dear and precious Friendship, to which Kenshin was thankful to have with the spirited g
Rurouni Kenshin live action film: my review!Edit: Holy.... Ok, so apparently people are spreading the link to this review around like crazy. I suppose it makes sense that there wouldn't be many English reviews posted yet, but please be aware that this is only my personal opinion...------Technically this movie doesn't come out until the 25th, but my local theater had some "pre-screenings" of it on Wednesday-- there was no way I was going to miss out on that! I thought I'd share my review of the movie, in case anyone is interested.First of all, let me say: I am a very picky fan. Extremely picky. So picky that a simple "that it is" can sometimes ruin my RK experience because it's "not authentic enough". So, that being said.....OMG YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE AS SOON AS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE IT'S BETTER THAN I EVER IMAGINED ladlkdjgaodsifjalkdsjgladskjg O_O;;I'll go into more detail-- and don't worry about spoilers, I won't spoil anything unless you ask!First of all, the actors were fantastic! I had

I walked off. entering the training room, I saw my brother sanosuke sagara, former member of the doomed sekiho army. "big brother, what's wrong?" I asked. "I...I don't know how t
Birth of the Assassin, Part 2Author's Note: In this chapter, Kenshin is at least ten years old. I imagine he had barely turned eight when he met Hiko for the first time, but I could be wrong. If so, someone please correct me and I'll make the appropriate adjustments._____________________________________________________________________________________ Birth of the Assassin, Part TwoTwo years later . . . ."Now attack me."It was late in the evening and Kenshin could barely lift the sword. His body ached and his muscles protested as he lifted the tip of the wakizachi to his master's nose. He was shaking, cold, wet and tired. He just wanted to go to bed but Hiko
Birth of the Assassin, Part 1Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, but I must admit I'm having a little bit of fun playing around with it. Author's Note; I need some input for this, my friends. I'm not very familiar with the years, provinces or some circumstances in Kenshin's childhood. I realize a lot of that is left up to the reader's imagination in regards to the manga and such, but there are some questions that I have.Were Kenshin and Hiko still living within the Choshu province when Kenshin was a boy and learning the Hiten Sword? Was he ten years old or nine years old when he started learning the art? I've seen maps, and the Choshu province was M
[RK] Unlost, 1st partUnlostA Rurouni Kenshin fanfic series by Raberba girlSummary: For the "100_situations" community on LiveJournal. Series of drabbles and one-shots focusing on Kenshin, Tomoe, Enishi, & Kenji in various combinations (obviously platonic except sometimes for Kenshin/Tomoe). Includes AUs.Introduction: Once Axel & Saïx from Kingdom Hearts got me doing drabble challenges, suddenly there was an explosion of plot bunnies for one-shot series in other fandoms. Rurouni Kenshin is very close to my heart, so it's the series I thought of first when I considered branching out of Kingdom Hearts. In thinking over subject matter, I do eventually
Rurouni Kenshin New OVA Shin Kyoto-Hen "Homura no Ori"I would like to share with you guys the newest OVA of RuroKen. I uploaded it on youtube. But it is unlisted so only those with a link can view it. It is in HD and the audio is in sync. All its lacking is subtitles. Unfortunately I can't fully understand Japanese so I am not confident in putting subtitles in it.So here you gohttp://youtu.be/TrY38jGUfhoenjoyYou can also follow me on my blogjen-kenshin.tumblr.com
Heart of a Sword: Ch. 1"Kenji, Where?"…I could start this story many ways... I could start it with the birth of one Himura Kenji, as that is where some would say his story begins. I could start it before then, with the fallout from Jinchuu that led to the wedding of Kenshin and Kaoru. I could tell about how Yutaro came back from Germany and turned the dojo on it's head with his fencing skills. I could include the many horrors that befell Kenshin, Yahiko, and Yutaro, not to mention anyone else that came too close, during Kaoru's pregnancy. Oh, yes. I could.Instead, I'm starting it with... bad parenting. That's right.They really need to keep a closer wat
InuKenshin 2"Megumi?" Sanosuke entered the Kamiya household, staring right at Megumi with really wide eyes."So, did you find what you had your eye on?" Megumi asked."But… but… that's not possible!" Sano stammered. "You just ran back to your office, and you never turned back here… you're not even upset…" "What are you taking about?" Megumi got up to check Sano's forehead. "You don't have a fever, I can tell you that.""Maybe it's because you had like five cups of Sake, that you did…" Kenshin stated. "No! I just saw you leave here with my own eyes. I could feel you next to me when I was outside. Then you started crying and
InuKenshin 1Kenshin could hear Kaoru scream his name from the hallway. The tone of her voice was the tone Kaoru would use to make him do something he didn't want to do, and made his body refuse to wake up. But after two more calls, his heavy eyelids were forced open, and turn his body out of his sleeping-bag-like bed, and in front of a new mirror Kaoru put in his room. Kaoru thought it was good for the house to have mirrors, to show them how beautiful they are, but only Kaoru; Misao and Megumi, who only come on occasions; would want a mirror just for that. As Kenshin looked at himself in the mirror, he froze. Was this just a vision he was seeing?"K
A Day for MommaA Day for Momma"Keep stirring, Kenji. You want to make sure it dissolves all the way." Kenshin carefully observed his son on the stool, making sure he kept the liquid moving quickly enough to dissolve the miso, but not so quickly that he risked splashing and being burnt. "Good work!" he commended, ruffling the boy's russet hair before turning back to the tofu he was carefully dicing.The five-year-old beamed under the praise from his father. "Momma will be so surprised," he enthused, bouncing excitedly on the balls of his feet. Kenshin had quietly woken him up that morning with an id

Facing the BattousaiFacing the BattousaiOn a night what was yet dark and coldBeyond the terror of flames licking bold,Outside the chaos of the heat and painAnd screaming shouts of those being slain,I saw the scene my mind denies seeingThe image from which my thoughts go fleeing.He moved like a shadow- a wraith, not a man-Soundless and quick like lightning he ran.Clentched in one fist, the glitter of steelDripped with a crimson too bright to be real.But too real were the bodies, too real the deathThat wavered in the air like a gasping last breath.As I stood frozen he perceived I was there,And fixed me in place with his hot yellow glare
We are not immortalsHe had never thought that it would come to this.From the first moment he first took in that small runt, the only thing he could see in that diminutive frame was his stubborn tenacity and iron resolve. As the years passed, the scrawny child grew and far exceeded his expectations; and it began slowly dawned on him. He had chosen the person who will mete out his final fate, and he began to accept his own finite mortality.When that ungrateful idiot had the unmitigated gall to leave, blithely throwing away the honour of being his apprentice. He was angry, no FURIOUS. But his fury then was nothing compared to when the ignorant fool returned a
