Kaoru: Yahiko!

(Kenshin and Hanya continue to stare each other down. Hanya holds up a hand.)

Hanya: Stop. I see to fight any further here for Takani Megumi is pointless. I myself want to collect these two and report back to the Okashira.

Kenshin: You were the ones who started this. We won't stop you from leaving. But the little one will stay here to give us the antidote for Yahiko.br> Hanya: I have no such duty to an enemy.

Kenshin (charging): Then we'll have to take it!

(Hanya drops into a fighting stance. He turns the sword aside with the back of his hand.)

Hanya: You have a calm expression, but your emotions run high.

(He punches Kenshin with the other fist, knocking him down.)

Hanya: As you shelter Takani Megumi, eventually we will fight again. This is just a postponement.

(He picks up his fallen comrades and leaps away.)

Sanosuke (thinking): That move... he's completely different from that Hyottoko. That was kempo with the weight of experience...

Kaoru: Kenshin! Yahiko's--what do we do?

Sanosuke (to Kenshin): What do you think?

Kenshin: I only have experience dealing with sword wounds and broken bones, but if it's poison... we could try sucking the poison out of the wound--

Kaoru: Right!

Megumi (pulling her back): Stop!

Kaoru: Do you want me to watch Yahiko die? Stay out of this!

Megumi: Fool! You won't do any good if you infect the wound! This is no work for amateurs. Stand back. (thinking) Unconscious with a slight fever... seems to be in pain, pupils dilated. (aloud) The poison is jimsonweed! (to Kaoru) This is a dojo, you must have a doctor. I'll give you a prescription, you go get it from him. Ken-san, boil some water. I need that and a washcloth for the medicine. (to Sanosuke) You go buy as much ice as possible. Treating poison is a race against time! Hurry!

(Some time later. Yahiko is in bed; Kaoru and Sanosuke look on as the doctor finishes up.)

Doctor: This should do it. He'll be all right in three or four days.

Kaoru: I'm so glad, Yahiko. (hugging him. Yahiko moans in his sleep.)

Doctor: As long as he's not disturbed.

Sanosuke (slapping the doctor on the back): Thanks, old man, you're the greatest.

Doctor: No need to thank me. The one you should be thanking is the one who wrote this prescription. It's amazing. The ingredients and recipe for the antidote were perfect. The person who wrote this must have studied Western medicine at a university.

Sanosuke (darkly): Or they just knew a lot about poisons.

Doctor: Poison and medicine are two sides of the same coin. Jimsonweed is a powerful medicine when used properly. Also known as Korean morning-glory, it's the main ingredient in an anesthetic called mafussan created by the great doctor Hanaoka Seishuu in the middle of the Edo age. Whoever wrote this must have been a master who studied for a long time at the university. I'm sure of it.

Kaoru: I'm surprised... And I thought she was just an ill-natured woman...

Doctor: Woman?

Kaoru: Yes...

Doctor: Not Takani Megumi... ?

Sanosuke: You know her!?

Doctor: Takani Megumi. She was an assistant to a doctor who was killed three years ago.

(Outside. Megumi takes a sorrowful look at the smashed dojo wall. Then she turns to go.)

Kenshin: Where are you going? (she jumps) It's dangerous for women to walk at night!

Megumi (recovering from the shock): This guy's bad for the heart... (aloud) How is the boy?

Kenshin: He's fine. Yahiko's a strong boy. Thank you for your help.

Megumi: There's no thanks necessary. Beshimi was aiming for me.

Kenshin: So, where are you going?

Megumi (thinking): You can't sidetrack this guy! (aloud) I'm leaving Tokyo for now. It looks like they're gone for now. If I leave, you should be fine.

Kenshin: Is there someone waiting for you at home in Aizu? (she is surprised) You can't get rid of the accent of the place you were born and raised even if you speak so flippantly. I know it because I fought with many warriors from Aizu in Kyoto, in the old days.

Megumi: You really are bad for the heart. All right. I'll end the silence.

Kenshin: Isn't it time we heard the truth?

(Inside)

Doctor: The Takanis were a famous family of doctors in Aizu (*now Fukushima prefecture) They were unusual because every generation went into medicine, and they allowed women and children to study as well. Above all, their belief in equality and treatment for all patients was widely known. Even in the Edo times of fierce discrimination, when as doctors they held high rank, they took any sick patients and devoted themselves to their treatment, no matter what their social status. The rigid system of preference for the samurai class was offensive to them; they believed that the true purpose of medicine was life. Megumi's father, Takani Ryuusei, believed this to the extreme. Upon hearing of Western medicine, he suddenly left to take the family to Nagasaki to study. You young people wouldn't know how much courage it took in those days to leave your province. So at the same time her family was returning to Aizu, through special permission, one of the decisive battles of the Boshin War, the Battle of Aizu, was beginning.

Himura BattousaiChapter 104 Tears

Kenshin: Miss Misao... (Footsteps pound down the hall.) Sanosuke: Hm? Omasu: Misao!! (She and the rest if the Oniwabanshuu charge in.) Omasu: Oh, Kenshin, you're here too? Great! Everyone, come on! (They carry them off.) Sanosuke (left behind): What the hell... (from outside): I'm with the police. Is anyone home? Misao: What's going on? Omasu: It's Okina! Misao: What's wrong with Gramps!? Omasu: He's regained consciousness! (A little later. Okina sits up and reties the...

Himura BattousaiChapter 75 Search for a Reverse Blade

On the second day in Kyoto Misao: Wake up, Himura! It's morning! Oh, you're already up. I thought I'd get to see what you look like half-asleep. Kenshin: Oro? Miss Misao, your clothes! (Misao is dressed in quieter shirt and shorts.) Misao: Normal clothes for Kyoto. Walking around my home ground in battle dress is a little weird even for me. Okina: If you're ready, let's go, Himura. Kenshin: Oro? Okina: Kyoto has changed a lot in the ten years you've been gone. Today I thought...

Himura BattousaiChapter 82 The Threads That Lead Me to You

Misao: YOU'RE LEAVING THE AOIYA!?! (Kenshin silently fits a new handle on the reverse blade.) Misao: Why?! Now, when you finally got a new reverse blade? (She charges at him with such ferocity that they butt heads. They both clutch their aching heads.) Okina: Settle down, settle down. Himura, you owe us a reason. (No reply.) Misao: You're not gonna talk?? Okina: You stay back. (Kenshin hammers the new handle on.) Okina: You don't want to tell us? Well, after all, we're perfect...

Floating in the darkness, fresh red blood... White sleeves... a purple shawl... And deep, black eyes... (Kenshin and Tomoe stare at each other for a moment. Then Tomoe's eyes close, and she slowly begins to pitch forward. Kenshin darts forward to catch her.) Kenshin: She's fainted... It's a natural reaction to seeing all this blood. (thinking) For a moment I wasn't sure if I should silence her or not--No. I forgot even that... (aloud) But what to do about this place? I can't leave...

June 5, 1864. The Gion Festival-- (In Kenshin's room. Tomoe is sewing; Kenshin is leaning against the wall, fast asleep. Iizuka bursts into the room.) Iizuka: Hey, Himura! C'mon, it's the festival, let's get going! After this we're gonna hit the red-light district-- Tomoe: Shh. Himura is finally asleep. (Iizuka gives her a puzzled look, and backs out of the room.) Iizuka (thinking): Himura, fast asleep? In front of someone else? Could it be... maybe the joke is no longer a joke......

Himura BattousaiChapter 74 Arrival in Kyoto

(Misao and Kenshin arrive in Kyoto; Kenshin has covered his scar with a square bandage.) Misao: We finally made it. It's such a relief to be back Kyoto, the city at the center of Japan, is a center of art as well as that of Japanese Buddhism. It has been the capital ever since the Tento dynasty in 794 and so was called the Thousand Year Capital. Kenshin (thinking): Kyoto... Ten years have passed for Japan since the coming of the new era. I didn't think this place would be touched...

Himura BattousaiChapter 81 Shakkuus Thoughts

Misao: Himura! (Kenshin strikes Chou in the side; he goes down.) Okina (thinking): He's done it... (A long pause. Kenshin stares down at his work.) Misao (taking a step forward): Himura... Kenshin (bowing his head): I... Misao: What? Seikuu: That sword... Misao: It's a reverse blade! Okina: Shakkuu's last work was a reverse blade like the one he gave Himura! Kenshin: No, this... feels better to the hand than the old reverse blade... Misao: But if it's a reverse blade,...

Himura BattousaiChapter 84 Master and Student of the Sword

Hiko: Well, now that you've had the gall to actually show your face here, what is it you want with me? Kenshin (looking at the shelves around him): It seems that Niitsu Kakunoshin is a rising new name in the world of ceramics. Why pottery again? Hiko: I didn't really care, pottery, whatever. It was just the easiest way to make a living without having to deal with a lot of people. Kenshin: That's easy for you to say. Hiko: Well, you know. My genius shows in whatever I do. Kenshin...

Himura BattousaiChapter 106 Like Snakes and Scorpions

Shishio: Unconditional victory? Houji: Yes. Unconditional victory. In this battle against Himura, Saitou and Sagara, we have ten men, counting Lord Shishio, against three. So, we have a clear advantage in both numbers and skill. Yumi: That's great. So what's the problem? Houji: But when the enemy is the best of the best... If we fight them now, even among the Ten Swords, any one of lesser strength than Chou will be destroyed. Thus, we should chose only our best fighters. These three will...

Himura BattousaiChapter 128 Soujirou Takes the Field

(Houji pounds his fist against the table.) Shishio: What is it, Houji. Houji (shaking with rage): A telegram... from intelligence in Kyoto... The attack on the Aoiya has failed. Iwanbou has fled, and Henya, Kamatari, Fuji and Saitsuchi have been arrested... ! Shishio: In other words, the Ten Swords are all but destroyed. Houji: Why! They even had Fuji with them, there was no way they could have failed! How did-- Shishio: They were stronger than we were. That's all there is to...

Himura BattousaiChapter 130 Soujirous PastA Chance Meeting on a Moonlit Night

(After taking a massive slash to the back, Kenshin is breathing hard but still keeps his feet.) Sanosuke (thinking): Kenshin's... it's the first time someone's gotten him on the back. Not good--this is definitely not good! Yumi (thinking): He can do it! The boy--no, Soujirou the Prodigy--he really is better than Himura Battousai! Just one more attack! The next one will bring him down for sure! Soujirou (still looking puzzled): It really is strange. Sanosuke & Yumi: Huh? Soujirou:...

Himura BattousaiChapter 139 Not Yet Gone to Ones Fate

Shishio: Now what would a whipped dog be doing here all by himself? Houji:... A whipped dog. Yes, as Lord Shishio says. Shinomori Aoshi! You've already lost to Himura! Your time to fight is over! How dare you show your face here! Get out! Aoshi: It is as you say, Houji. If you call me a whipped dog, I cannot deny it. But Battousai accepted a challenge from this whipped dog without trying to get out of it, and lost strength by taking unnecessary wounds. This, too, is truth I cannot...

If I had been carrying a sword that night, would you have-- (Kenshin is sitting alone in his room, staring out the window.) Kenshin (thinking): That was two weeks ago. (Tomoe opens the door, broom in hand.) Tomoe: I'm going to clean this room. Please leave for a while. Kenshin: I don't remember asking you to clean it. Tomoe: Okami asked me to. In the midst of all this confusion, Yukishiro Tomoe has settled in with us. Kenshin (as he's getting down from the windowsill): What's this...

Himura BattousaiChapter 2 The Vagabond Comes to Town

A week after the Hiruma brothers have gone and the violence of the false Battousai has been put to an end. Adjutant master of the Kamiya Kasshin School Kamiya Kaoru (17) has rushed about recalling her students to revive her school--but-- Kaoru: Not a single one of them came back. This is unbelievable. Kenshin (who is doing laundry by the well): It's because we live in an age of culture and enlightenment. Once things change it's not easy to go back. Kaoru: Speaking of unbelievable, what...

Goheh (wearing a Sanosuke wig): "The legendary Hitokiri Battousai! The street fighter Zanza has been searching for a match like you!" It's been two weeks! Where is that rooster head? Kiheh: I can't believe he would get scared and run off. Goheh: "I'm just looking forward to the fight!" Heh, what a joke!-- Zanza (boxing his ears): You're the one joking! You keep up that weird copycat stuff and I'll hang you upside down. Kiheh: O-oh, Mr. Zanza. Where have you been? Zanza: The...

Abandoned Longhouses (Sanosuke sits alone, beside a couple of empty sake bottles and an untouched meal.) No more. I'm tired. (He finishes his cup and tosses it aside.) (Misao stares in disbelief at Kaoru's memorial tablet.) Misao:... No. Yahiko: It's true. That's Kaoru. It's all too late. Kaoru was killed, and Kenshin was broken. And I couldn't do a thing about it... (Out of nowhere, Misao whacks him on the head with her traveling bag.) Misao: I don't want to hear you cry!...

Himura Battousia Book 2 Kenshins PastPart 253 Days of Indian Summer

(At the Kamiya dojo, everyone is in the yard while Kaoru and Kenshin are doing laundry. They all look up at Aoshi in surprise.) Aoshi: We're going back to Kyoto. It's a good time. Kenshin: A good time? Misao: What? What? What? But we haven't even gone to Akakusa or the Ginza! Yahiko: You didn't come here to sightsee. Go home! Aoshi: We'll leave tomorrow with Takani Megumi. That way you'll only have to say goodbye once. Kaoru (thinking): Always the man of few words... I never...

Himura BattousaiChapter 37 Conversation at the Tsukayama Estate

(At the Kamiya Kasshin dojo) Sanosuke: Isurugi Raijuuta... Huh. Can't remember the last time I met a guy that interesting. Kaoru (whacking him with a shinai): It wasn't "interesting"! Because of him the Maekawa dojo will have to close for a while! Sanosuke (dodging): But there's nothing you can do. (catching the tip) Maekawa and Raijuuta fought fairly, right? And one side lost. Kaoru: But-- Sanosuke: If he's the master of that school and that style, saying his opponent was too...

Himura BattousaiChapter 96 Between Life and Death

(Kaoru is lost in thought at the Aoiya.) Misao: It's dangerous to sit staring out the window like that. You don't know when or where an enemy will strike. Kaoru: Misao. Misao: Uh-uh-uh! Not Misao, Okashira! (Kaoru sighs) Himura should learn the secrets and hurry back, huh. Kaoru: Yes, but... (they look out the window, at Yahiko practicing outside) Stronger, stronger... it's only natural for a swordsman. If he gains the great strength of the succession techniques, he'll have an...

Himura BattousaiChapter 134 The Second Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki

Seta Soujirou, born the first year of Bunkyuu in the prefecture of Kanagawa. When he was eight, he slaughtered his abusive adoptive parents and their children. Since then, as the right hand of former Ishin Shishi Shishio Makoto, many have fallen to him, beginning with the Minister Okubo Toshimichi. (Soujirou pulls his sword from the floor and walks to the center of the room.) Soujirou: You're interfering. (He whips his sword around him in a blinding half-circle, then sheathes it, assuming...

(Early the next morning, Kaoru is sitting alone at the table.) Tsubame (entering the room): Good morning, Kaoru. Kaoru (turning): Oh, good morning, Tsubame-- (She freezes.) Tsubame (her hair sticking up every which way): Isn't Mr. Himura back yet? Kaoru: Tsubame, you really slept on your hair funny. Tsubame: I did? Ack! (Kaoru sits her down in front of a mirror and begins to comb it straight.) Tsubame: I'm sorry, this always happens when I change pillows. Kaoru: Hm, then morning...

Saitou: So this is how it turned out... Aoshi: But he won't use that sword again. Sanosuke: That's it. Yahiko: Kenshin won! Megumi: Ken-san! Misao: Himura! Kaoru: Kenshin... (Behind her, Heishin is regaining consciousness.) (Kenshin suddenly staggers.) Megumi: Oh no! Misao: Himura, are you-- (He pulls himself together.) Kenshin: Not yet... (Enishi, too, is on his feet.) Kaoru (thinking): I see... Just winning or losing a fight isn't enough to pay for his crime. He has to...

Himura BattousaiChapter 67 The Budding of Violence

Misao (thinking): This cop... he knows Himura? (they hear screams from the village) Misao: Oh yeah--Himura! (Kenshin breaks a spear with his sword and knocks down the last of the soldiers.) (Misao: He's not even out of breath... Wow... ) Saitou (to Kenshin): Hey. What are you wasting your time here for? Kenshin: What are you doing here? Saitou: My job. One of my men informed me that Shishio was here. Since I still had some time before the subjugation forces reached Kyoto, I decided to...

Himura BattousaiChapter 68 Portrait of an Ambitious Man

(As Kenshin and Saitou approach the inn, Soujirou is waiting for them at the front gate.) Soujirou: Mr. Himura Battousai, and Mr. Saitou Hajime. Kenshin (thinking): That voice... (aloud) Be careful, Saitou. This is the man who killed Governor Okubo. Soujirou: Oh no no no, today I'm just your guide. Look, I'm not even armed. Mr. Shishio is waiting for you inside. Please come in. Saitou: We can't start out being this cautious. Let's go. (Shishio sits on a cushion, smoking a...

Himura BattousaiChapter 70 Soujirou the Prodigy

Kenshin: Take up your sword, Shishio Makoto. Misao (thinking): I'm not sure what's going on, but this is amazing. It's... we can't show ourselves now. Saitou: Don't bother hiding, you can come on out. (he opens the door; Misao and Eiji tumble out.) Just stay close. Kenshin: Miss Misao! Shishio: That technique you called the Ryuushousen. You struck Senkaku's chin with the flat of the blade, but if you had used the edge, it would have killed him? Kenshin:... Yes. Shishio: I'm...

Himura BattousaiChapter 77 The Curtain Rises on a Brush with Death

Okina: Are you all right, Himura? Kenshin: I think so. Okina (pushing Misao's head down in a bow): See what happens when you fool around like that. Kenshin: Oh no, I was being careless. Okina: In any case, you're going to give up on having Seikuu make the sword for him! Kenshin: Exactly. Misao: But-- Okina: That's enough out of you! (Meanwhile) Seikuu: My father's... last work? Chou: That's what they tell me. The last work of the swordsmith Arai Shakkuu. Mind if I have a...

Himura BattousaiChapter 78 Ten Sword Chou

Chou: That cross-shaped scar... you must be the famous Hitokiri Battousai. Iori: Gojaru!! Chou: You're smaller than I thought. Like a girl. Oh well. You here for the sword too? Kenshin: Unfortunately, I seek a different sword. If you're here for the last work of Shakkuu, go and take it. Only give back the child first. Chou: You want to avoid an unnecessary fight? Could be. Or it could be that with your trusty reverse blade broken, you can't fight like you want to. Well, it wouldn't be...

Himura BattousaiChapter 90 A Deathplace of Fresh Blood

Omasu: The lookout! Okina is fighting Aoshi there! Misao (thinking as she takes off running): I have to stop them! If Gramps and Aoshi are fighting for real it won't end without someone really getting hurt. I've got to stop them somehow! Kuro: I wonder if that was the right thing to do. Omasu: I know. If we left now, we wouldn't make it in time. But even so, she has to do all she can. The person she's closest to and the person she most loves... she's about to lose one of them. (Okina...

Himura BattousaiChapter 120 The First Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki

Soujirou: Which do you think will win? Shishio: Hard to say... They're perfectly matched. Houji: Logically, they should destroy each other. That would save us some trouble. Soujirou: I want Mr. Himura to win. Then, we could settle what we started on the Rengoku. But, if Mr. Shinomori wins, what are you going to do, Mr. Shishio? Shishio (smiling): Then, if I killed Shinomori Aoshi, I'd be the strongest. (In the library, Aoshi and Kenshin square off for the attack.) Sanosuke (thinking):...

Himura BattousaiChapter 125 The Coming

(All eyes are on the giant in armor, standing amidst the ruins of the building across from the Aoiya.) Okina: They'd go so far... (The Oniwabanshuu looks stunned, staring.) Saitsuchi: Yes, yes. Resignation is the crucial human attribute. They come to meet their doom courageously. Misao (clutching her side): Dammit... (thinking) Everyone's hurt from fighting it out this far. And just when Lord Aoshi was coming back... they bring out this freak of nature. (glancing at her) Kaoru......

Himura BattousaiChapter 126 The Giant Against the Great Man Beginning

(Everyone stares in amazement as Hiko holds off the giant's sword. Hiko grins, and with an extra burst of effort, turns Fuji's sword aside, cracking it. Hiko and Fuji stare each other down.) Shiro: He didn't just block that monster's sword, he turned it aside... who is he? Misao: It's Hiko! Hiko Seijuurou! Himura's master and current heir of the Hiten Mitsurugi school! When Himura was talking about a backup plan last night, he must have meant him! (Yahiko is still lying on his back,...

Himura BattousaiChapter 140 Flame of a DoubleEdged Sword

(Leaves drift over the battlefield as Kenshin stands at the ready.) Houji (thinking): He... he stood up. No... calm down, all he's doing is standing. It's highly doubtful he still has the strength to use the succession technique Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki. The burns of the Homura Dana and the explosion of the Guren Kaina... it's obvious he won't survive. Lord Shishio is too strong for him... And yet... this chill! this unease! this fear! (Kenshin roars, sending out a blast of ki that...

Himura BattousaiChapter 141 The Final Situation

(Shishio takes the full force of the explosion.) Yumi: Lord Shishio!! (Kenshin leaps into the air.) Hiten Mitsurugi-- Houji (thinking): I have faith! No matter what Battousai tries, it can't finish Lord Shishio! It can't destroy him! (aloud) Lord Shishio! Ryuutsui! Shousen! (Kenshin strikes downwards and upwards in quick succession.) Sanosuke: A double attack! Saitou: Fool. He won't let this chance slip by. Aoshi: He's still going. Ryuukansen Kogarashi! Tsumuji! Arashi! (He...

(A beautiful morning. The sun shines, birds chirp, people go about their business. The morning peace is suddenly rent by a shriek.) Misao: WHAT?! You're going back to Tokyo tomorrow?? (Misao, Okina and Kaoru are eating breakfast together.) Misao: Why? We just got the Aoiya rebuilt! I thought we could finally relax and have fun now! Kaoru: Why? You've taken care of us long enough. And it's about time I reopened the dojo in Tokyo. Misao: But you can open a rundown dojo with only one...

(Kenshin and the others are walking home. A man on a ladder is ringing a bell.) Kaoru: The fire bell... It must have something to do with that sound. Tae: Kenshin, you said it was an Armstrong cannon? Shouldn't you... Tsubame: I... I think so too. Kenshin: I may just be imagining things. We can check it out tomorrow. It's getting late. Kaoru: You're right. It won't do any good to worry about it now. Sanosuke and Yahiko: All right! Then we can go back to the Akabeko for another...

Enishi: Inui Banshin. Otowa Hyouko. You've made a long journey. Welcome. This makes five of us. There's one more left. Inui: We can't trust some guy that can't even show up on time. Five's enough. Gein: We only said we would meet tonight, we never agreed on a time. Enishi: Careless, wasn't it. Kujiranami: This is foolish. We won't get anything done like this. Yatsume: I'm already here.

Kenshin: Let me ask one thing. For who's sake do you seek revenge against me? Otowa:... That's right. It would be a shame to send you to the next world without knowing that. It was a friend. A good man. Those nights when we'd compete to see who could kill more in a single night, I truly...

The ninth day. One more day until the day of the battle. In these past eight days Enishi has shown no sign of making a surprise attack. Amid tension and unease, daily life goes on-- (Yahiko, soaked in sweat, is doing the exercise in the dojo.) Yahiko: Fifty thousand! Kaoru (hardly paying attention): Good. Now do five thousand more. Yahiko: That's enough!! How long are you going to make me wave my arms around?! The fight is tomorrow! Kaoru: Quit complaining. Trying to learn a succession...

Himura BattousaiChapter 1 Kenshin Himura Battousai

One hundred and forty years ago, in the whirlpool of Kyoto violence that began with Perry's landing in Japan, there was a warrior called Hitokiri Battousai. This man, who paved the way for the new Meiji era with these bloody battles, disappeared at the conclusion of the bloodshed. With the passage of time he became a legend, known simply as "the strongest." And so our story begins, in Tokyo, in the year 1878-- (A man is walking through the streets of a small town at night. He is short,...

Himura Battousia Book 2 Kenshins PastPart 208 End of the Dream

What is a person's worth? How many people weep when they die. By that, you'll know. Many people came to the funeral of Kamiya Kaoru (deceased aged 17). Many tears were shed. But at that funeral, Himura Kenshin could not be found. (Yahiko, Sanosuke, Megumi and Tsubame are sitting outside the dojo on a hot summer's day.) Tsubame (in tears): Why... how could he... Yahiko (thinking): When I woke up, it was all over. I was in a bed at the Oguni Clinic. So I never saw how Kaoru died. What I...

(Tsubame, rushing back to town, trips and falls.) Tsubame (through her tears): Yahiko... Kenshin... (The wind picks up, carrying leaves through the air. She looks behind her, and a look of joy spreads across her face.) (Kuma brings a jug of sake and two cups over to Oibore.) Kuma: Here. Brought you this. Don't spill it. Oibore: Ah, thank you, thank you. (They drink.) Oibore: That reminds me, Kuma, there's something else I want to thank you for. Kuma: Yeah? Oibore: Letting that...

Himura Battousia Book 2 Kenshins PastPart 236 Landing

Heishin: Boss! A message from the guards. Two police ships are headed towards the island. Permission to prepare to fire? Enishi: No need. Battousai's probably on one of the ships. Let them into the bay. Heishin: But that's ridiculous. According to the Kokou Touzai Book of Naval Warfare, the wisest plan is to attack from the water to prevent the enemy from landing-- Enishi: Heishin. Do you want to fight me now? Heishin: I see. In that case, I'll call off the cannons. (as he leaves) But...

Suzaku: Of the Sushin brothers, I, the Suzaku, am best at patterning myself after the enemy's techniques. In other words, I'll turn your own moves against you to send you to your death! (They spring back.) Oniwaban-shiki Kodachi Nitou-ryuu Onmyou Hasshi! (Aoshi lines up his two swords, thrusting one forward to propel the other through the air; the Suzaku does precisely the same thing, and the swords strike tip to tip in midair. They go spinning off into the air, and they each catch their...

Himura Battousia Book 2 Kenshins PastPart 241 Sushin BattleSanosuke versus Byakko

Sanosuke: First you won't shut up and then those fussy little moves! If you wanna take me out, bring it on with just one good punch! (Megumi's medicine chest hits him in the head.) Megumi: You idiot! I told you not to use your right hand! How many times do I have to say it? Sanosuke: Medicine chest as deadly weapon? This must really be getting to you. (Whose side are you on?) But I'll cut you a break--I'll only ask you to look at it one more time. Megumi: Once more? Sanosuke: Yeah....

Himura BattousaiChapter 9 The Black Hat of Rushes

(Lightning crashes. Inside a mansion, a well-dressed man cowers before a man shrouded in a cloak, wearing a wide black hat. He carries a bloody sword and bodies litter the floor between them.) Rich Man: P... please. If it's money I can get you as much as you want. Just spare my life. Black Hat: The honored patriots of the new age bathe in money like water. Has it made you weak? (He laughs, quietly. The man screams. Black Hat fixes his eyes upon him.) Rich Man (thinking): I... I can't...

Himura BattousaiChapter 22 Assault on Kanryuus Estate

Kanryuu: You're... you're joking... how could we have made an enemy of the legendary Hitokiri? Aoshi: Don't say that. We want this fight. (As they walk towards the house, Kenshin stops.) Yahiko: What's wrong, Kenshin? Kenshin (looking up): Kanryuu!! Your time has come, Takeda Kanryuu. Come down with Miss Megumi. (They stare at each other. Kanryuu begins to laugh wildly.) Sanosuke: Has he gone crazy? Kanryuu (clapping his hands): Wonderful! To have destroyed all fifty of my soldiers...

Himura BattousaiChapter 25 A Showdown of Strength

Yahiko: Hey, Kenshin. Is Sanosuke gonna be okay by himself? That patchwork guy looked pretty strong... Kenshin: Sano will be fine. He won't need any help. (they approach the ballroom) We're breaking in. Hold on! (back at the stairway) Shikijou: Feh. So you call the one entrusted as Keeper of the Castle Gate "third-rate"? It looks like all we've got to be proud of is our arms. A literal test of strength. Sanosuke: Great. Let's do it!! (They grapple. Shikijou drives Sanosuke up...

Himura BattousaiChapter 55 the Request of Okubo Toshimichi

Battousai: Once of the Satsuma Ishin Shishi, now Director of Internal Affairs under the Meiji government, Okubo Toshimichi. Yahiko: And so what?! Who is this bearded guy that just showed up out of nowhere!? Sanosuke: You don't read the papers. Obviously a mere child wouldn't know. Megumi: The last of the Ishin Sanketsu*, the triumvirate of the new era, the highest achievers of the new age. He has complete control of the country in all but name with the position of Director of Internal...

Himura BattousaiChapter 65 Each on Their Way

Today is the third day since Kenshin left the Kamiya dojo. He should already be on the second half of his journey, but-- Misao: Himura. Hey, Himura. It's lunchtime already. It's time to eat. Hey! Hey, I'm talking to you. Hey! (losing her temper and throwing a kunai at him) Quit ignoring me! Kenshin (bleeding profusely): Ohhhhh (that hurt!) Misao: What! You're deliberately walking through the forest. You're still trying to lose me, aren't you! Kenshin: It's not deliberate. It's just...

Himura Battousia Book 2 Kenshins PastPart 226 From Samurai to Descendent of Samurai

The next day. Excerpt of the report submitted by Shin'ichi Saburou. At that time, I didn't understand the truth of what had happened. A flash of light, a sudden gust of wind and a roaring sound--I thought lightning had struck before my eyes, but I was wrong. An instant later I realized that the great man had fallen face-up, and a swordsman had appeared in my field of vision. He was truly--awe-inspiring! Aoshi:... Looks like he found his answer. Saitou: I wonder. Misao: Awright! Let's do...

Himura BattousaiChapter 87 A Violent Meeting

From the capital there is a demon gate under the northeastern sky. On the slopes of Mt. Hiei, famous from olden times as a mountain of ghosts that protected the emperor's castle-- Soujirou: Here it is. Well, please come in. (Houji knocks on Shishio's door.) Yumi (stumbling out): If you're looking for Lord Shishio, he isn't here. (God you're loud.) Houji: Then where is he? Yumi: I don't know. But he said he was all worked up about something, so maybe he's in the training room. (A...

Himura BattousaiChapter 89 Aoshi versus Okina

(Aoshi stands on a hill overlooking the city.) Aoshi (thinking): A natural high ground from which you can see all of Kyoto. The Kyoto Oniwabanshuu's lookout. (Behind him is a small one-room house. He enters; Okina is waiting for him.) (Misao pounds up the path to the house. Flashback--) Misao: You're lying!! Hanya and the others can't be dead. It's a lie! Kaoru: It's not a lie. The four of the Oniwabanshuu died protecting Shinomori Aoshi. Misao: Beshimi and Hyottoko maybe, but...

Himura BattousaiChapter 91 Misaos Resolve

(Okina, heavily bandaged, is sleeping; Misao kneels beside him. Everyone else is clustered outside the door.) Shiro: He took stitches all over his body, 138 in all. The doctor said it's a miracle he's alive... Kaoru: In other words, it's mysterious that he didn't die. Shiro: He didn't let up on him at all... (Flashback. Misao opens the door on the scene.) Aoshi: It's over. (He walks past her into the forest.) Misao: Lord Aoshi!!! Aoshi (without turning around): Get out of...

Himura BattousaiChapter 102 The Great Kyoto Fire End

Houji (to the soldiers): Don't panic! They're just hand grenades! Even if they hurt the outer shell they won't touch the interior! (The grenades strike the hull, touching off an explosion that rocks the ship. Everyone is thrown to the floor; and the waves toss Sanosuke into the water.) Sanosuke: Katsu, you son of a bitch. You made me take something that dangerous? (How was I supposed to use those for self-defense?) But, it turned out to be a pretty good present. All right! (swimming for...

Himura BattousaiChapter 105 A Beautiful Night

Sanosuke: Here's pretty much what Saitou has to say. He won't be done with making arrangements for the four thousand arrested soldiers and pursuing the survivors till half the day. So we'll set out for the final battle break of dawn tomorrow. If it were up to me we'd be outta here by now, but hey. Okina: Himura, all this happened while I was laid up? Kenshin: Yes, but nine of the Ten Swords are still at large. Okina: And one more thing. Misao (pointing to Sanosuke): Since you're in...

Himura BattousaiChapter 107 Bright King

Yumi: Lord Shishio, this might not be for me to say, but aren't you a little worried about Brother Anji fighting Sagara Sanosuke? The only one who could have taught that man the Futae no Kiwami is the priest himself... Since he's gone so far already, could he hold back during the fight out of compassion... ? Shishio: You don't have to say it. The possibility is there. Anji may be a fallen monk but he lives in accordance with Buddhism. (In his chamber, Anji stares at a small statue of a...

Himura BattousaiChapter 108 A Difference of Strength

Acala-- Acala embodies divine wrath, the god who protects faith. Because of his great strength, demons surrender to him, and he punishes the foolish masses who cannot be saved. Anji: What I taught you was just one of the basics. This is mastery. Sanosuke (thinking): That was the Futae no Kiwami with both hands and both feet. And his left hand wasn't even a fist, he used his elbow... Kenshin: Sano! (Sanosuke drops down to avoid Anji's next punch.) Sanosuke: Damn... Saitou: Want me to...

Himura BattousaiChapter 112 Advance Move

(Sanosuke throws his jacket over his shoulder and walks back towards the others--and falls over.) Kenshin (applying Megumi's salve to his hand): Are you all right? Sanosuke: Ow ow ow. Saitou: It's your own fault. You're the one that ignored my advice and neglected your defense. Well, there's seven of the Ten Swords left. And there's only two of us. Sanosuke: WHAT?? Saitou: You think you can still fight? Especially with that right hand. The Sanjuu no Kiwami on top of repeated Futae...
