Kaoru is
dragged away by Megumi to get as far away
from Enishi as possible, while Sanosuke
and Saitou prepare themselves to enter
combat. Meanwhile, Kenshin continues to
pound on Enishi. With a punch to the gut
and a blow to the chin from the butt of
the Sakabatou, Enishi is sent flying back
into a wall. What baffles him is how Kenshin
has so much strength, especially when
he had lost so much blood.
Enishi
gets to his feet, but is beaten down once
again. He is hit in the gut with the Sakabatou's
reversed blade, then knocked down to the
ground when he is hit hard on the head.
Kenshin raises his weapon high in preparation
to knock Enishi out. Out of the blue,
Kujiranami's hand gets a firm grasp on
Kenshin's entire body and slams it straight
into a wall. Enishi reclaims his spectacles
and walks away with a smile, never knowing
that his one time comrade would prove
to be more useful than he thought.
Elsewhere,
Kaoru just remembers that Yahiko was left
behind. Megumi promises to go search for
him, but she and Kaoru are suddenly separated
by the smoke due to the change of direction
in the wind. Kaoru frantically looks for
Megumi. A shadow appears from the smoke,
but it's the person Kaoru least expected
to meet up with. Tachi drawn, Enishi approaches
Kaoru, saying he must take her victim
for his Jinchuu.
