Part 3 - Expected Surprises

The head of police entered the temporary office of Saitoh. "I am glad that you accompanied me on this trip. Are you prepared to deliver the necessary papers to the Japanese Government?"
"I am currently gathering the information." The officer pulled some papers out of his desk. "I am awaiting a response from the Battousai."
"Saitoh, tell me when you are ready to make the report!" He exited.
"That man won't leave me alone" thought the officer.
.
Sanosuke told Kenshin what Chou had said. Under the expressionless puzzlement, Sano was relieved, and his friend noticed that. "Hey Kenshin, if Saitoh's in town, we should check at the precinct." Sanosuke had decided to keep his little promise with Megumi, for now.
.
The twosome joined with Chou outside the Tokyo headquarters. "I figure you just saved me a trip Battousai."
"What does Saitoh want with me?"
"He jest needs to find out some information."
Chou led them both to the door of Hajime Saitoh. "Hey, thanks for showing us, broom head." And just before Chou could respond, Kenshin jumped in between them. "Now now, we have to talk to Saitoh, that we do." Chou looked at the red head through one eye until he got bored and walked away. They entered the office.
.
Hiko was quite angry. His dumb apprentice had now caused him to walk the whole way to Tokyo. He stopped to find a place to eat, something he rarely had to do. He eyed a restaurant titled "Akabeko." He walked up to the entrance and bent down a little to look inside. There he noticed Yahiko, busy helping out, and carrying around his silly boken. "No, not here." He continued along.
.
Saitoh looked up from his desk. "I was wondering how long you were going to stand out there." He motioned towards a seat. Both Kenshin and Sano eyed the chair, but it was obvious who was getting the seat. So Sano backed up and leaned against the wall. "This is just routine. I have no intention with getting friendly with you."
"I am fully aware of that."
"I am filing the official report regarding the Makoto Shishio incident. There is some paperwork we must take care of."
"Very Well." Sano was annoyed at Saitoh for obvious reasons, and now annoyed at Kenshin for making the officer's life so simple.
"I'm leaving!" He was ignored, so he left. He lost his orientation as he followed the hallways around the building. He eventually entered an open area where some people were waiting in chairs while the clerk and a few other officers were taking care of various business. Sanosuke intended to pass through without creating a disturbance. However, a particularly large man eyed the "aku" on his back.
"You're Sanosuke Sagara?" Sano spun around.
"You know me?"
"Stay here until I clear up some unfinished business." Sano didn't really have anything else to do, so he waited. A minute later, Hiko was called over with the other officers, where they spoke for a few minutes. He was dismissed to leave.
.
While this was happening, Kenshin had long since finished his business with Saitoh, and had left the building (the correct way.) Hoping he would pass Sano on the way, he started back to the Kamiya dojo, which he hadn't actually been to in quite a while. As he walked, a carriage blew by. But why the heck would a carriage be going towards the dojo unless perhaps...! Was someone hurt at the dojo? Kenshin switched over to "mean and fast Kenshin." He ran back to the dojo.
.
Hiko and Sano began walking to the dojo. Sanosuke had completely forgotten about his promise at this point. "Heheh, so that's how it is."
.
Kenshin jumped through the gate and lunged to the doorway to the building. Just then, Megumi poked her head out. "Sir Ken!!" She looked desperate. "There is a wounded man. His injuries are from the Hiten style, and a reverse blade sword!"
"What?"
