A Lesson To Those Who Remain Inactive

Kamaro walks down the dirt path of a village on his way to Tokyo. He runs his hand down the shealth of his sword, thoughts racing through his head. "I'll never have to use this again. I will never have to wash blood from its stained blade. I WILL NEVER SLAY AGAIN!!!!!" The villagers turn and look at Kamaro as though he were a crazed man. He ignores their whispers and continues his journey. "From now on my life will be different." Kamaro stops in the shadow of a tall police officer and raises his eyes to meet the man's. "Indeed your life will change. For on this day you shall parish", sneers Saito. Kamaro's eyes widen. "I know who you are. You fought in the revolution against the Battousai", gasps Kamaro. Saito draws his katana from its shealth, the sun glisteneds off the blade causing Kamaro to squint. "Draw your weapon." Kamaro reluctantly begins to draw his katana, but quickly sheaths it again. "No, I will not fight with you!", screams Kamaro. "Draw it!" Saito, now angered by Kamaro's declaration, charges full speed in the Gatotsu stance. Kamaro dodges elegantly to the side. "If this is to be my final battle, then it shall be my greatest. Kamaro draws his katana. A small grin creases Saito's lips. "Good." Kamaro leaps to the eave of a building. He uses his redirected momentum and launches himself at Saito. Their blades clash in a shower of sparks. Kamaro's blade is slowly pushed back. "No. Do not hold back", snarls Saito. Saito feels his blade being challenged. Kamaro uses the friction between the blades to ignite the oil on his blade. Startled by this action, Saito is caught off guard. Kamaro slashes at him with the firey blade. Saito narrowly dodges the flame. His shirt catches fire. Saito discards it onto a cart of straw. The straw ignites, creating a red-orange blaze that reaches the surrounding houses making a cage of flames. The sweat on Saito's muscles reflects the fire around him. "You shall not catch me off guard again." Saito charges at Kamaro and resumes the fight. The two move with inhuman speed, each exchanging a rapid volley of strikes and parries,  neither coming out on top. "This fight will end today", shouts Saito. Before he can continue, Kamaro charges directly at Saito. Saito blocks Kamaro's attack, but is slammed through a wall. Kamaro stares, panting, looking into the hole he has just made in the wall. Show yourself Saito. He sees nothing. Suddenly, the wall behind him explodes. Saito bursts through, his sword ready for the Point Zero Gatotsu. For a slight moment, everything seems to be moving in slow motion. "How di..." Before he can finish his sentence, Kamaro's eyes darken. He sees nor does he feel anything. Saito removes his blade from Kamaro's forehead. The limp corpse falls to the ground. Saito stands over Kamaro's lifeless body. "You did not die in vein. You can now rest in peace. Saito turns and walks away as the flames engulf Kamaro.
