Himura
Kenshin
vs.
Shinomori Aoshi
|
 While
passing through Shishio's base, headed for Soujirou's
room, Kenshin had entered Hoji's room after sensing
that Aoshi had been inside. Aoshi was inside indeed,
and he was prepared to tear Kenshin apart to earn
the title of the strongest for himself and the Oniwa
Banshu. Kenshin had promised Misao to bring the
real Aoshi back to the Aoiya, thus, the battle had
started. Without drawing his sword, Kenshin rushed
forward, as did Aoshi. Kenshin threw a dozen of
books in Aoshi's face to begin things, but simply,
Aoshi cut through them with his twin kodachis. Really,
Kenshin didn't want to fight Aoshi, so he tried
not to fight him head-on.

 Separated
by a bookshelf, Kenshin tackled into it, causing a
bunch of books to topple over. Enraged, Aoshi cut
the books and the bookshelf, targetting Kenshin. Luckily,
Kenshin had drawn his Sakabatou to block, but his
game plan had changed. Once Kenshin had leapt away
from the collision of swords, Aoshi charged after
him, slashing him various directions. Kenshin was
cut a few times in the onslaught, but once Aoshi had
left himself open, Kenshin immediately went for the
Ryu Kan Sen. To Kenshin's surprise, Aoshi had blocked
the attack. With an elbow to the face, Aoshi knocked
Kenshin down. |

 Down
and against a bookshelf was Kenshin. One of Aoshi's
kodachis had come flying directly at him as Aoshi
executed his Onmyou Hasshi. Kenshin blocked it quickly,
but yet another one sprung forward. As quick as
he blocked the first kodachi, Kenshin avoided the
second. Aoshi kicked Kenshin in his face after he
avoided from being hit twice, demanding that Kenshin
fight seriously. After a brief exchange of words,
Kenshin got up and charged for Aoshi. Both men clashed
again. Kenshin was shoved back into the bookshelf
and Aoshi tried to stab him. Again, Kenshin dodged
Aoshi's attack and kicked him in the side to get
away from up against the wall.

 Once
Kenshin was free, Aoshi crossed his kodachis, attempting
his Gokou Juuji. Kenshin immediately broke the stance
by moving Aoshi's swords apart with a Ryu Sho Sen.
Following, Kenshin leapt into the air and came down
with a Ryu Tsui Sen. Aoshi had blocked the attack,
but when Kenshin somersaulted in midair, he was
hit. Now, Kenshin was fighting seriously, but he
wanted to make something clear. Kenshin told Aoshi
that he was being selfish and was disgracing the
name of his friends by acting in such a manner to
earn the title of the strongest. Aoshi has become
possessed and has forgotten his original goal. Only
Kenshin could turn Aoshi back.

 Aoshi
had realized that he had done wrong. Frustrated,
he began to slap Kenshin around. Once he was relieved
of frustration, Aoshi promised to return to the
Aoiya, but only after the fight was completed. During
the silence previous to the final attacks, Sanosuke
heard a clicking sound. Finally, he realized that
Yumi was contacting Shishio by telegraph, so he
warned Kenshin not to use the succession technique.
Aoshi took advantage of the situation as Kenshin's
attention was distracted for a second. With both
kodachis turned upside-down, Aoshi charged forward,
ready to hit the Kaiten Kenbu Roku Ren. Without
a second wasted, Kenshin hit Aoshi with the Ama
Kakeru Ryuu no Hirameki to end the battle.
