It's modern day. The streets are rife with violence;
corporations are corrupt; assassinations, commonplace. Himura Kenshin, known only as Battousai, is
a shadow assassin for an organization so secret even he
doesn't know who truly runs it. BUT Battousai has an even
bigger secret; one that if it were ever discovered would mean more than his
death...it would end in the total annihilation of his soul. Battousai is not only the deadliest assassin
to ever prowl the dark streets of night...he is also a vampire, one of the
oldest still in existence…and a rarity among his kind.
He has a soul.

Tears of Eternity
by: Chiruken
For sacrifices made
To hide latent fears
Behind a cold façade
Noble thoughts wither
Innocence wilts and dies
Tears of a killer
Hidden behind the lies
The grief is hidden
Within the sea of blood
Returns unbidden
A tide become a flood
And the blood rains down
Flowing rivers of red
And the blood rains down
Washing over the dead
Nightmares grim and stark
Humanity is stained
Guilt stabs through the dark
Eternal soul in pain
Feared, reviled…hated
Tomorrows faced alone
Hopes trampled…tainted
No one to welcome home
Frozen faith in dreams
No love to melt the ice
Cracks around the seams
Forever has its price
And the blood rains down
Flowing rivers of red
And the blood rains down
Washing over the dead
The need of a man
The touch of a hand
A yearning so deep
A heart that will weep
A passionate soul
Given up to woe
He’s suffered enough
Deserves to be loved
And the blood rains down
Flowing rivers of red
And the blood rains down
Washing over the dead
