Hello there. My real name is Soujiro Seta. To those in the Juppongatana they refer to me as Tenken mainly, because of my speed. I don't have much to say about my skills but, I guess it goes to show I'm good since Shishio-sama selected me to be his right hand man. 

I've always been a peaceful man by nature, but fate had other plans for me. For one, they placed me in the care of an abusive aunt and uncle. Regular beatings were not unusual to me as I recieved several daily, I've endured it with a polite smile.  Smiles don't necessarily mean happiness unless its genuine. So why smile you ask? Simple.

They inflict more pain if they ever found out their beatings get to me. So I endured it. I edured it all with a smile. I'm not made out of stone to those of you who conclude I am by my words, I just...I just wasn't strong enough to fight back back then. 

Young Soujiro: "It wasn't always like this... When I first got here, I did get angry and upset, and I did cry when they beat me. But the more I got angry or the more I cried, they'd just say I was selfish or noisy and it upset them even more, and it got even worse! When I just put up with it all and kept smiling, they'd get sick of it and stop. Even if it hurt, even if I hated it, if I just kept smiling..." 

So when the time came that I finally held that power pushed between a choice of killing them or getting killed myself...I killed them. I killed them all. 

Wearing that same polite smile.

I've always been a master of hiding my emotions, so it came as a big surprise to me, when one day under Shishio-sama's orders I met a man named Himura Kenshin. He was strong. He was kind. He was a walking contradiction. It was because of him that I have now started my wandering ways.  

Perhaps...

Perhaps someday I may be able to find the peace that Himura-san was talking about. Honesty I have always valued, and to be honest I never once enjoyed killing. Not even when I killed them so perhaps... 

Perhaps maybe someday I might be able to find my own answers through my wanderings as well. 

I can only hope that happens soon. ^_^
