| Hi! This is my first story ever! The inspiration came from the poet, " Edgar Allan Poe". VANDOMIRRE One
darkened night, blood was spilled throughout the darkness. Sword to
flesh, metal to skin. Grey to red. Cold, amber orbs shine against
shadows. Again, a blade soils to the color red. Parry to counter to
strike. Haunting, amber orbs tear through minds. The silence Battosai
brings to the streets of unloving darkness that surrounds and engulfs
dreams. A nightmare among blood-rusted streets. A terror to whom the
black letter reads. Cold-blooded terror that haunts thou sleeps. With a
kantana that helps his dirty deeds. One impassionate towards other
dreams. To end a nightmare so he proceeds.Not knowing of the nightmare
that of he brings about. He slashes about. With only a thing in mind,
to end the old era that he resides. Knows naught of the terror that he
let run amok. Only one who needs love.Not thinking once about the love
in the present. Thinking only of future love. Battosai sacrifices ones
self to darkness. He does so to end the darkness for others. Both
compassion and stupidity are mixed. As of love and selfishness? Maybe
or not. So selfless and unloved. Trained harshly though surely by the
sword.Hated by the Shogunate and respected by the Ishin. Hunter of the
Devil, some say. Angel of a new beginning, others say.The blood-stained
blade and one thing in mind, a true assassin. Slashing open the Meiji
era. Striving for peace. One man, one dream. One man, three names. One
man, two different eyes. Hitokiri Battosai, Kenshin Himura, Shinta
Himura. Amber and amethyst.END.MY FIRST FANFIC! | | |
| A day of the dead "Shinta!" Koaru sobbed. Koaru lays by a corpse under a sakura tree. She stumbled half way to the harbor to see if Shinta was back. When she came upon a forest of sakura trees, a figure came slowely towards her. Her heart exploded with happiness, it was Shinta! He smiled the truest smile he ever smiled. Then they sat by one of the sakura trees. "Shinta... You'rereally back. Oh how long I have waited." Koaru said cheerfully. "Hai Koaru-dono. This one has traveled far just to see you again.."Shinta whispered with his head in Koaru's lap. "I bet. You look exhausted." Koaru said while stroking her love's hair. "Lets have a sakura party out over here. We'll invite everyone! Yahiko, Tae, Tsubame, Misao... Right Shinta?" No answer. "Shinta?" Koaru swept away Shinta's hair out of his face to reveal an unscarred face."Now... You're free." she whispered. Koaru leaned over his corpse and started to sobb. Then Kenji and Yahiko came running. "There you-" Yahiko started to say before his eyes met with his deceased role model, Kenshin. "Kenshin!" he screamed. "Father..." Kenji murmured. S-Shinta came back to me!" Koaru said tearfully. "Father came back..." "He's free from his pain now." she said before losing consciousness.Yahiko caught her and hoisted his teacher/mother into a comfortable position. "Kenji, take Kenshin." Yahiko said sadly as he started to walk past the rows of houses towards the dojo. Kenji did the same. "Father... You kept your promise to mother until the end. You came back, even though you knew you were dying." He looked upon his deceased father's gentle and kind face and did the unthinkable. Kenji carefullylifted one of his father's eyelids. He gasped."What's wrong Kenji?" Yahiko asked. "F-Father's eyes, they're amber!" Yahiko spun around to take a look. It was true, Kenshin's eyes were amber. "How can this be! Kenshin's eyes are amber! He can't be angry, his body doesn't have any ki." "How?" Kenji asked. "Did Koaru tell you about when Kenshin's Battousai form took place?" asked Yahiko. Kenji shook his head."When a serial murderer called Jin-e captured Koaru, Kenshin was enraged. Kenshin and Jin-e fought a deathmatch. During the battle, he misread one of Jin-e's moves and got his shoulder sliced open. Jin-e thought Kenshin wasn't near Battousai, and paralized Koaru's lungs. Then Kenshin was even more enraged. Then right before the final blow, Kenshin's eyes turned bright amber. It happened when he lost control and took Battousai form with Kanryu, Saitou, and Cho." Yahiko fell silent and Kenji stood there, shocked. (I DECIDED 2 PUT THIS STORY HERE BCAUSE PEOPLE R HAVIN A HARD TIME FINDN IT @ FANFICTION.NET) | | |
| "Kenshin!" the team cried. Sano was taking a few steps foward to assist. "Sano... Please protect the others." Kenshin uttered in pain. The poison numbed my legs! I can barely move. The gaurd caught him offgaurd and started punching and kicking him nonstop. "Ugh!" Blood sprayed out of his mouth and wounds. "Kenshin!" Koaru cried, tears flowing down her cheeks. A knight grabbed on to her and held a dagger to her neck. "Stop struggling, or Ill slice off her head!" he roared. Sano was enraged and was about to attack when- "Dont hurt... her. T-take me... instead!" Kenshin said hoarsely, barely breathing. " Fire Knight, hit him!" the knight with a fire crest on his armor stood up and landed several blows on the injured rurouni. After the beating, Kenshin stood there, barely standing. "S-Sano, Yahiko... P-please take care of Koaru-d-dono..." with that he collapsed, unconscious. "Kenshin!" the three of them shouted. "Now he shall die. Bring the Battosai here, Fire Knight." ordered queen Kairi. "We shall end this by slitting his throat. And Fire Knight shall do this." Kenshin returned barely conscious to see the same knight that attacked him holding his head up with a dagger ready to slit his throat. Kenshin closed his eyes. At least Koaru-dono is alright... Kenshin peeked a crack to see Koaru-dono. And shes... crying. "Kenshin...Kenshin!" she sobbed. Then Masters warning rang throughout his mind... "If you die, this girl will never truely be happy..." I... cant die! I must make Koaru-dono happy no matter what! Though I have very little strength, what can I do? Then a thought occured to him. Maybe, right before the slit hits, I can move my neck so I would only get half the damage! Thin as ricepaper chance, though same thing as Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki. "Now! On san, Fire Night slit the Battosais throat!" she demanded. "Ichi!... Ni!...(here it comes!) SAN!" "Nooooo!" Koaru screamed. And the dagger came, Kenshin shifted his throat backwards right before it hit. "SHHH!"Much energy was drained fromhis body as scarlet blood ran down his neck. Good, no arteries hit... Though I cant stay conscious much longer. I must fake. So Kenshin stopped breathing when the queen put her hand in front of his mouth to check if hes dead. "He has died! So his cold heart stopped beating!" she anounced wearily. "Kenshin! Kenshin!" Koaru sobbed. "Can I at least have his body and sword to bury? Please!" she pleaded. "Alright! You shall have his lifeless body! On one condition, never come back!" "Yes." Koaru agreed. Kenshin took a small breath and held it again. The Fire Gaurd kicked him away andpain shot up his ribs soKenshin had to surpress a gasp. Koaru grabbed hold of his gi and hauled him towards the exit, crying. "Kenshin... Kenshin..." Koaru sobbed. "Y-yes Koaru-dono?"he uttered before losing consciousness."Kenshin! Hes alive!" Koaru cried. "Huh!" Yahiko and Sano blurted. "B-but! We saw his throat..." Yahiko stuttered. "I get it! Kenshin moved his neck right in time to advoid the worst of it." muttered Sano. "We go home and get Kenshins wounds treated immediately!" Koaru commanded. "Right."SORRY THE STORIES SO SHORT! THE NEXT ONES WILL BE LONGER!END | | |
| CH1:HIRE "Your majesty! Your majesty! The swordsman has been located that you were looking for!" the messenger yelled while running towards a young lady. "Good...Make sure to bring him immediately." she replied thoughtfully."Kenshin! Kenshin! Someones here to see you!" shouted Koaru. Today it is nice with clear, blue skies and the glowing sun beating down on to the earth. "Now who could that be?" Kenshin muttered while finishing laundry. At the front gate, a man with shaggy, striped clothes that looks foreign greeted him. "Hello, I am Hanns. Im from the Katrory castle in England. Queen Kairi would like to see you right away, please if you have the time. Your friends are welcome to come." he said. "Queen Kairi...Qeen of England, correct?" Kenshin asks. "Yes. This meeting is quite urgent, so what would your answer be?" Kenshin glanced towards Koaru and she nodded. "We obliege." Kenshin answered. "Alright, now you should all pack. Hurry if you can, please." So Koaru took out her bamboo and ricepaper suitcases while Sanosuke, Yahiko, and Kenshin pack. When all was packed, they loaded them on to the awaiting carrige and took their seats. "So, what is the reason for summoning this one to England?" asked Kenshin. "Ah, that I dont know. I am only a butler.They rode a steam train and a huge boat before arriving at the grand England castle, where Qeen Kairi awaits."Oh, oh, oh!" the four gasped. They are standing at the middle of a huge palace with huge paintings, golden statues, and dainty, tile floors. "This place is beautiful!" Koaru exclaimed. "Yeah, I agree with the missy here. Sure is like Kanryus mansion though." said Sano. "Woa!" Yahiko stuttered in awe. "Lady Kairi awaits you in the room upstairs." says Hanns. Pushing open the golden doors, they find a gold and silver throne with the family embrorderment. Sitting the throne, is her highness, lady Kairi.Lady Kairi wears a blue Chinese dress and a silver obi tied around her middle. "Oh, you must be the samurai I was searching for. You've also brought your friends. Perfect, now lets get down to business. I need you to first test your skills. Ive heard they were powerful. Then if you will, protect me from an... intruder? There has been many signs of a powerful killer that has taken the lives of many men. His next kill is rumored to be I. You all will be given rooms, clothing, and many other things if you accept." Kenshin shades his eyes for a few moments to think. Will Koaru-dono be safe? Kairi-dono must be protected though. So I must accept... "I...accept your offer." he finally replies. "Then we shall test your skills right here." qeen Kairi says, satisfied.Two rock are placed in the middle of the room. "You are to demolish these rocks." Kairi demands. "Starting, now." Kenshin hesitates, then got in to stance. He ran to god-speed, and slashed the rocks in two with the ryu-tsui-sen and ryu-kan-sen. Then slashes the halves to pebbles in a matter of seconds. "Perfect! Now you all will be lead to your rooms."They were lead to a long hallway, glistening with sparkling items. "The first room is is Mr.Himura's. Second is Ms.Koaru's. First on across is the tall one's room. And last is the child's room." said Hanns. "Thank you." said Kenshin. "Hey Kenshin! Lets go explore after we refeshen." said Koaru. "Of coarse, Koaru-dono." Kenshin replied while walking in to his room. In his room, a person in a black dress suit says, "Hello. I am here to get you properly dressed." "Um...Okay."When the butler finished, Kenshin has on a blue cloak, silver shirt, and black pants. In the hallway, Koaru awaits."You look nice, Koaru-dono." said Kenshin. Koaru is wearing a blue princess dress with silver designs. "You look nice too, Kenshin." Koaru complimented. Though they both like their old clothes more. "Did you notice that Sano and Yahiko have been unnaturally quiet?" asked Koaru. "It's quite an improvement." said Kenshin with a smile. Just then, they heard Yahiko and Sano's voice. "I dont want to change, dammit!" Sano yelled. "Get away, Ugly!" shouted Yahiko.They both came busting out of their rooms. "Now, now. I think you two should calm down, that you should." said Kenshin worriedly. "What do you know Kenshin!" thay yelled. "Lets go, Kenshin. Let those boys get themselves lost." Koaru said while dragging Kenshin by the ponytail. "Oro! O-okay Koaru-dono." said Kenshin.END OF CH1. Hopefully it was a little good. My second story ever! | | |
| "Grrr!" Nekokashi was walking home from a long and frustrating day of school. This day put a new remembrance to her life of stress and embarassment. Nekokashi was waiting in line for lunch when a hand snaked down her hip and- FWUP! Everyone around her was getting a front seat view of her panties. The boy who did it was Kakuro Sukidaia. Her mortal enemy. Nekokashi's blush was so fierce her face looked like a strawberry. Then-SLAP! Bright red marks were etched across Kakuro's grinning face. The whole cafiteria burst out laughing at the scene. The lunchlady even gave Nekokashi a free lunch. "Stupid boys!" Nekokashi muttered as she sat down at her table. "One reason I don't like fukus." BACK TO THE PRESENT- As soon as Nekokashi came to her house, she ran straight to her room. Her bedroom was a Kenshin-fan dream. Many posters hang on the walls. Ruroken figures stand on her desk. Pillows with Kenshin's face lay all over her bed that also has Kenshin on it. Drawings are scattered all over the carpet floor. The Anime DVD's were by here TV. The Manga were neatly stacked on shelves. And all other kinds of RK merchandise that any fan would kill to have sit in every corner of the room. Nekokashi crashed onto her glorious bed and sighed. "Another hated day at school Kenshin-sama." she whispered to a pillow. "I wish I could meet you in person Kenshin-sama." Then tears welled up in her eyes. "Because... watashi wa aishiteru Kenshin-sama." Then she cried herself asleep.Kenshin smiled to himself as he pulled down the dry clothes from the poles. They looked brand new! He stared at the gleaming white clothes that were once dirty. Then- "HEY KENSHIN!" Sanosuke yelled behind him. "Oro!" Sano surprised Kenshin so much that he jumped backwards, tripping over the laundry bucket, and landing somewhere he's been before. All Kenshin could see was darkness. He felt like he was falling. "Am I dead? Am I in hell-" SPLASH! Nope. Once again Kenshin has found himself in the well by the help of Sano."Kenshin?" Sano was looking for his buddy who seemed to have disappheared.(I wonder why...) One second he's doing the laundry, next he disappheared. "I guess I'll ask Jou-chan." Sano said as he went into the house. A small voice could be heard in the well. Lets listen. "Sano!" It's Kenshin! He's trying desperately climb up the grimy and slippery walls of the well. SKRIFF, SPLASH! He landed back into the bowls of the well. "I'm doomed." he said in defeat.When Nekokashi woke up, she was confused. "Wasn't I just in my room?" She found herself in the middle of a forest. "Was I abducted?" When Nekokashi looked down... "AUGH!" She was wearing something that looked alot like Makimachi Misao's clothes. Though the colors are different. Instead of the usual yellow or blue, there's navy and purple. And instead of a purple obi tied around the waist, there's blue. Nekokashi's hairstyle is the same as Koaru's with a turqoise ribbon. No shorts. And a bandage-like material wraps around her foot to her knees in a pattern. On her hands were navy travel gloves.(y'know what the japanese wore when they travel/ kinda like Misao's) "Woa..." Nekokashi stared at herself in amazement. "I like this abductor!"Kenshin tried to sit in the water to come up with a plan to get out, but the water went over his head. So he stood there. "I have no idea how to get out! I can't jump because of the water, my sakabatou is in my room, and everyone is inside!" "I'm gonna die of hunger if someone doesn't help me out." he thought miserably.Nekokashi decided to head north to explore this unfamiliar land. "Ow!" Nekokashi got her leg stuck in a vine. "This bites!" she yelled in frustration. After about ten minutes of walking she came upon a house and dojo. "Maybe these people will tell me where I am." Nekokashi thought as she walked towards the old-fashioned house.Kenshin was trying very hard to climb up the well again, but with no success. All he managed to do is fall on his rear end into the water. After the pain went away, Kenshin heard footsteps near the well. He was overjoyed by this and started to yell for help.Nekokashi heard someone calling for help. "Please, could someone help!" the voice shouted. "Where are you?" Nekokashi asked. "In the well!" "Some baka must have fallen in." Nekokashi thought as she pulled out some rope. Then she carefully slid it down the well. "This dude is pretty light" Nekokashi thought as she pulled up the person. As soon as the person came out, Nekokashi gasped. "Kenshin-sama!" she yelled. Then she fainted from shock.So how did you like the first chapter? I can tell you that I'm Nekokashi.u When I'm a mangaka, I'll change my name probably to Nekokashi, Nekotashi, Azuoui , or something Japanese. | | |
