The Dawn of a New Dynasty - Prologue
This is a brief ( but not so brief ) glance to my new story. Well, fan fiction, anyway... this is a Rurouni Kenshin fan fiction if you haven't noticed already. I mean, I don't know any other anime with dynasties and stuff. Sorry I wasn't that creative with the title but I'm going with the flow here, yah know? Anyway, this isn't only written by me so bleh! *sticks tongue out at you* It's revised by me, though, and it was my idea. So let me thank the guys ( yes, I mean guys because I haven't drawn any female interests ) who have helped me with this. Some are new to this type of thing and some aren't but you can barely tell. Well, I think that's all for now. Let me tell you something about the story... I really don't know! But it might not end. Well, unless we get tired and just quit altogether. Ahh ha ha hah Well, anyway, hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed wracking my brain ( and other's not to mention ) for it!! *//*^_^*\\*
This is set right after the Chaos Era ( Shishio's reign ). It mostly takes place in Kyoto because that's where everything happens anyway, right? I mean... can't Kenshin just move there permanently already? Beats the hassle in getting there in time. Ahh ha ha hah
WARNING: Lots of OOCness. Some of the people writing this don't know much about the characters.

[ Kyoto, the "present", early fall ]
"Have you gotten what you needed?" a gruff voice said, stepping out from the shadows.
There was shrill laughter as a woman, dressed all in black stepped out from the dark end of the alley.
"You got lucky in guess I was there. You couldn't possibly have known," she pouted with a haughty scowl on her face.
"Quit your bragging and answer my question, damned woman!" the man snapped. He held up a hand behind him and stopped two strongly built men in masks to come forward.
"Damned is quite right," she exclaimed giving a dangerous smile. "Yes, I have the materials. Now, when do you want me to start? I have other clients to attend to, you know," she added quickly.
"Quit your babbling, woman!" the man roared.
The woman seemed impossibly calm. "I have a name, dear sir." Holding a hand up gently perched upon a cheek, she snapped back sternly. "Now, when do you want me to start?"
"Ah, yes... Lady," pause, "Minako... is it? Yes, that was what you told me..." he trailed off, not hinting any impatience or anger in his voice. He took a sip of his sake.
