Yeah,Yeah I know there's too much Ranma 1/2 fanfics on the

along with Gun of the Immortal Chapter 1.

Feudal Japan


                      A young man in samurai armor was 
waiting for some one to come. His beloved was
supposed to come to him tonight. He had sent the
message through her personal servants. Her father
maybe his daimyo but he was still hesitant of 
revealing they had for each other to him. The 
enemy were already approaching the castle and
this might be their final chance to meet. 

                     Then he heard the shogi slide slowly.
He rose to meet his beloved in a passionate embrace.                              
' Good evening, Kyoshiro.' she said with a kiss to
her samurai.' Good evening to you to, Akane.' he said
after he stopped the kiss.

                      He motioned for Akane to sit down as he
settled down on the floor. ' Akane, you know your father's 
enemies are about to reach the castle. Akane, I suggest
that we tell your father tommorrow that we love each other.'
he said, solemnly. Akane was filled with happiness at those
words but her feelings then would not match the joy she would
feel at the next words. ' I also intend to tell your father
tommorrow that we intend to marry.' 

                       Akane's eyes were clouding with tears of joy
when she saw Kyoshiro suddenly stiffen. ' Akane, get out now !'
he almost shouted. But it was too late six ninjas had already 
entered his room. His sword immediately left it's scabbard as he 
moved to cut one of the ninjas. A sliver of light, then his opponent
fell to the ground in two pieces. Two ninjas attacked from opposite
directions,and he quickly dispatched them both with a single move 
of his sword. He charged two ninjas and again sent them to their 
ancestors. Then he heard a groan of pain behind him.

                        It was Akane, sword sticking out of her stomach.
She had stopped the attack meant for him. In a blinding rage 
he cut the last ninja into something that was not recognizably human.
He turned and cradled the body of his beloved. ' Why.....' his
voice started to tremble. ' Do ....not.... worry..... Kyoshiro,' Akane
said haltingly,blood coming out at the edge of her mouth.' Wait....
for....me.When....the.time.of.the...three.daughters..comes.again.'
With that she closed her eyes. ' I promise you , I'll wait for you.'
whispered Kyoshiro before the whole Tendo castle heard the 
agonized shout of someone who lost the most important thing 
on Earth.

I don't know if this qualifies as a dark fic. But let me spoil a few things
for chapter one. The Akane in the prologue is one of the current
Tendo sisters and an immortal samurai is about to pick up his beloved.
