Kenshin decided that some things were better left unsaid, and as this was probably one of those, he continued following her in silence.
They soon caught up with Sano and Yahiko, who were standing at a fork in the tunnel, a horned gargoyle of some sort crouched between them.
"Shit, this thing's got quite a mug on it." Sano muttered, getting a closer look.
"And I thought Kaoru was ugly..." Yahiko was rewarded for that comment with a rock to the head.
""I wonder if the map has anything to say about this thing..." Kaoru asked to herself, pulling the paper from its hiding place.
Sano stared at her in shock. "THAT'S where you put it?"
"Hmm?" She had forgotten that others were watching.
"He's right." Yahiko chimed in. "You probably contaminated it or something with all your sweat..."
He got no further before Kaoru attacked him.
Moments later Yahiko was busy nursing various injuries.
The map, unfortunately, was destroyed.
