Battosuai_Tim
Japan has seen a lot of action over the years, but after the vanishing of the man known as Himura Kenshin, the war he was involved in slowly died down and his existance seemed to just vanish away into nothing. It had been 10 years until he suddenly reappeared in the city of Tokyo where a young woman named Kaoru Kamiya noticed him while trying to kill a man she thought was the legendary battousai of legend. The man was in fact Gohei Hiruma, someone who was once part of the dojo that Kaoru's father once ran. After being expelled for using the sword style known as Kamiya Kashin for hurting people, instead of helping like it was created to do, he felt that after the death of her father, he would go after Kaoru herself to get revenge for it. Kenshin had noticed the trouble that this woman was in and decided to help out. After getting to know her and the things she stood for, he knew that she had to be helped out and stayed with her after the man was taken down later on.
It was afterwards that things started to happen again. Many people entered the lives of Kenshin and Kaoru. The first was a young boy of ten years named Yahiko Myojin that was nothing but a selfless bandit working for the yakuza for a false reason. He was an orphan and was told he had to pay money for the medical bills that stacked up for his mother before she died, but the yakuza was just using him. All of this was settled when Kenshin Himura stepped in and took down the entire group in front of their boss. The young boy was then taken from his prison and given a nice home at the dojo with Kenshin and the woman he would consider his sensei, Kaoru.
The next person was Sanosuke Sagara, a former hitman that was hired by many to take down any target he was told to take care of. Kenshin Himura was one of them, and all because the man from before, Gohei Hiruma, wanted revenge for what happened before at the Kamiya Dojo. Of course, nothing could be done to take down Kenshin and the fighter-for-hire was taken down easily. He was shown the error of his ways and a new path opened that he was grateful for Kenshin revealing him to.
A few more things happened that involved Kaoru and Kenshin, but after it was done with, a new enemy appeared known as the Oniwabanshu. They were a group of ninja warriors that worked for an evil tycoon by the name of Kanryu Takada. The leader of the ninja's was named Aoshi Shimomori, a man that had a lot of reputation for being good at what he did. A woman was involved with them, and it was this same woman that Kenshin and his new friends saved from their clutches after she was forced to make opium illegally for their operations. After a lot had happened, the ninjas were all killed except the leader, whom wanted revenge for the deaths of his comrades, but the thing was Kenshin didn't do it, for it was done by the hands of Kanryu Takada and the new weapon he had introduced known as the gatling gun. He wanted to kill Kenshin because he wanted the reputation for the Oniwabanshu to remain as the best fighers from the revolution.
A few more friends had been found and joined to become part of the Kenshingumi...but before the continuation of the Rurouni Kenshin saga, the story must be told about the attempt at controlling Japan by the hands of a ruthless dictator known as Makoto Shishio. A lot had happened when this man tried to get his hands on the entire country for his own evil ambitions. Kenshin knew him quite well because after he had left as an assassin for the government to become a wanderer that would repent for all the deaths he committed, this man took his place, but it wasn't long after that he was set on fire for the things he had done. It was after this that the man survived, but had to go around wearing bandages all over his body. He was more angry than ever and used it to strengthen his sword and body so he could get revenge on the government that tried to kill him.
Hajime Saito, a man that once fought Kenshin back then, had come back to test his strength to see if he would be helpful in taking down Shishio once and for all. Soon after, Kenshin had to say goodbye to the woman that had grown fond of him over the time they had been together in the dojo. For a long time, they were apart until they reunited in Kyoto where Kenshin had met the man that taught him the art of swordsmanship when he was young. After learning a powerful technique that would take Shishio down for good, he set off on his journey again and did lots of planning to track him down.
He eventually found him after dueling with many warriors that was fighting for the evil dictator, and one of them was Aoshi Shinomori. Their battle was intense, but Kenshin came out the winner by using the sword technique, Amakekeru Ryu No Hirameki, which is a technique involving the user to run quickly towards the enemy, slam down onto their left foot, unsheathe their sword swiftly and quickly, then slash the enemy hard across the chest, depending on how you use it. Kenshin carries a reverse-blade sword which can't cut anyone, but can heavily damage whoever it's used upon. It was then that Aoshi saw the error of his way and decided to help out Himura Kenshin with his battle against Shishio.
The battle was quite intense right from the start. Right away, it looked as if Kenshin would be taken down once and for all by the hands of the man that wanted Japan all to himself...but with the help of his comrades, he prevailed and finally returned home where things would finally calm down.
After many more adventures and making new friends, an enemy from Kenshin's past came back to exact revenge for the death of his sister. Back during the days when Kenshin was an assassin, he was involved in a battle against a man that was using this woman to weaken his heart. Her name was Tomoe and she had grown close to Kenshin, even though it was her mission to get his defenses down. During the final battle against the man that had set this all up, she got in the way of Kenshin's attack so she could try to stop the battle, for she was scared of what might happen. Kenshin had gotten both of them with the swift stab of his sword, and he had to suffer with losing the woman he had fallen in love with. Hidden on the sidelines, Enishi Yukishiro, the brother of Tomoe, had seen it all and it was from that point, that he would plan on exacting revenge for what Kenshin had stolen from him.
Many traps and tricks were planned to try and do just that. One of them, which almost broke Kenshin and made him hopeless and close to commiting seppuku, was the fake death of Kaoru Kamiya. A doll had been made that looked exactly like her with a sword stabbed through her heart. After knowing that the woman he loved wasn't dead and that Enishi had taken her to his island headquarters, he made a plan that would lead him right to that destination so he could finally end the fight between him and Enishi.
The fight drew on for a long time, each showing off their skills to their fullest. Both were equally matched and it looked as if there would be no victor, but as always, Kenshin found the strength to win, and in this fight, it was the hopes that he would continue living to repent for all the wrongs he had done, especially against the woman he was wed to...the woman named Tomoe. It was with these convictions that he performed the ultimate attack against his opponent and ended it once and for all.
Three years have passed and things were going quite well in the country of Japan. Everyone was enjoying their lives in an era that would lead them into the future. But...like almost everything, nothing lasts forever. It is now the year 1883 and something is starting to happen in the shadows. It won't just involve the Kenshingumi...but the entire country would feel it's humongous clutches.
Prepare for the continuation of the Rurouni Kenshin saga...

It was a comfortable late summer evening in the city of Tokyo and things were as calm as can be. The fireflies were out near the sources of water and you could hear the saquedas all around. Not many people were out since it was about 8 at night, all except those that were stationed there to look out for any trouble that might threaten the livelihood of the citizens living within the area...but the environment would change that night and it all started with the signs of a storm in the distance, and a plot that would finally be put into action by an unknown group.
With a long sigh, the taller of the two policemen walking scratched the back of his head as he looked around the area with his partner, making sure that nothing bad was happening. "You know...I like my job and all, but lately, nothing has been happening that's worth keeping an eye out for. Everything has been quiet since all that business was settled with that Enishi fellow three years ago. I heard the battousai was his main target."
The smaller policeman nod his head towards him. "That's right. It was something that started way back during the fighting in Kyoto. Apparently, Enishi's sister had been killed by the battousai's hand alone and wanted deep revenge for it. It was a mistake, but he didn't want to just let it go."
"And there was that mess with Makoto Shishio..." The taller one continued the conversation. "Japan was almost doomed, but thanks to Kenshin Himura, everything returned to normal. We owe that man a lot for the things he's done." He smiled. "He's still living at the Kamiya Dojo, is that right?"
"Yeah, that's what I hear...but Chief Miraki just informed him of something suspicious going on in Kyoto and the battousai left to head there. I sure hope nothing bad is starting up again. Japan has been through a lot these past few years."
