I don't own Rurouni kenshii.

Scene changes to a jail and the prisoner are demanding food.

Quiet down said a guard.

Over here said a prisoner.

Get back said a guard.

We want more food said a prisoner.

New prisoner said a guard.

Then Kenshii is brought into the jail.

Then Kenshii is put in a cell with men.

Later is it raining outside and Kenshii is sitting her cell resting when she feels rainwater dripping on her so she uses a bowl to catch the water.

Open it said, Saito.

Then she puts the bowl then she goes back to rest.

A woman with red hair, a crossed scar and who dresses like a man said, Saito.

She looks to see a familiar face staring at her.

So it really is you said, Saito.

It's been a long time said, Saito

Hasn't it Battousai said, Saito.

Since the battle of Tobu-Fushimi said, Saito.

That was ten years ago now said, Saito.

We need to talk said, Saito.

Get up said, Saito.

Then a guard unlocks the door and she gets out.

Then Saito leaves the jail and she follows.

Then a man in the next cell walks up to the door.

Is she really Battousai the killsword said the man.

Kenshii is lead to a room where she sees another familiar face.

It's been quite a while Kenshii said, Yamagata.

Tell me where have you been hiding? Said Yamagata.

Hello Yamagata said Kenshii

For 10 years I listened for tales of a female Rurouni, one who used her talents to help people. I looked into the ones that sounded promising said Yama

Oh, him said, Yamagata.

The past is the past. Besides though are paths differed ultimately we wanted the same thing said, Yamagata.

A better country said, Yamagata.

These days Saito goes by the name of Goro Fujita and works under me. His expertise is invaluable said, Yamagata.

And what is it you want from me? Asks Kenshii.

Narcotics are being openly Trafficked said, Saito.

Street name spiderweb, it looks like normal opium but it's a different animal all together said, Saito.

Much more addictive for one thing said, Saito.

Opium has the power to destroy countries even the Qing dynasty couldn't stem its tide and what's happened as a result part their lands lost now and the British have gained yet another colony said, Yamagata.

I'm nothing but a lowly Rurouni said Kenshii.

Why speak of this to me? Asks Kenshii.

Those bastards won't stop with this, doubtless, they have something even more vile in mind said, Saito.

Then Yamagata walked up to her.

I could your expertise, too said Yamagata.

Take post in the army answering to me said, Yamagata.

Then he takes her hands.

Use these hands again for your country said, Yamagata.

I have no intention of working as a killsword ever again, I left that path long ago said Kenshii

Yamagata laughs.

Not fond of the title, eh said Yamagata.

Remember your purpose to bring about the restoration, I overlooked your gender because of your skills with the sword said, Yamagata.

It wasn't uncommon for a woman to be a samurai back then there were many before me said Kenshii.

Then Saito examines her sword.

Have you become soft? Said Saito.

You carry a useless weapon said, Saito.

She tosses her the sword.

How can a Killsword protect people without killing? Asks Saito.

This sword isn't useless. I can protect the people around me without shedding any blood said Kenshii.

Let's test that then said, Saito.

He draws his sword.

To protect others you must first be able to protect yourself said, Saito.

Then he points his sword at her and she moves back.

He slashes at her and she dodges.

Then he goes to strike her again but she blocks with the hilt of her own sword.

Then when they separate she is forced back.

This is pointless put your sword away said Kenshii.

No said, Saito.

Then he strikes again she once again dodges.

Then she blocks another blow with her swords and Saito pushes her back with his foot.

She tumbles out into the rain but the catches herself.

Then she stands still for few minutes and then Saito walks forwards and begins attacking.

She dodges and blocks the strikes.

And the performs a flip when Saito tries to sweep her legs out from under her.

Then Saito turns the strike once again but she draws her sword out a little of metal hits metal.

Then he pushes the sheath off Kenshii's sword.

They exchanges blows.

That's the problem with your blade! Sooner or later it's bound to hurt the one who wields it said, Saito.

Then Saito manages to gain the upper makes cut herself with her own sword.

Yes, exactly like that said Saito.

Do you remember who are yet? Asks Saito.

I'm not that girl I have forsaken my past said Kenshii

I will not kill anymore said Kenshii.

Stop! That's enough said Yamagata.

The removed his sword and the pressure on Kenshii's shoulder.

Then Saito walked away,

Then Kenshii stood up.

I was wrong to do this Kenshii said, Yamagata.

No said Kenshii.

See that she is released said, Yamagata.

Yes, sir said a police officer.

Scene changes to Kenshii walking out of the Police station,

Then she sees Kaoru.

Why is he here said Kenshii?

Then Kaoru walks towards her.

You don't have anywhere to go said Kaoru.

Come back with me said Kaoru.

My way of thanking you said Kaoru.

You know the truth now don't you said Kenshii.

That I used to be a killsword said Kenshii.

Then she starts to walk away

I know nothing of the sword said Kaoru.

The only woman I met was a Rurouni named Kenshii said Kaoru.

All of us have a thing or two in our past we don't wanna talk about said Kaoru.

Don't we said Kaoru?

Here said Kaoru handing her an umbrella.

Take it said Kaoru.

Let's go said Kaoru.

Kenshii didn't move.

Are you coming said Kaoru.

Well said Kaoru.

Then Kenshii made up her mind and followed him.
