Hiko did not return to the Kamiya dojo that evening, as he had already done so many times before. This did worry Kenshin and the others. No one was worrying about Saitoh.
.
Hiko knew how tough it would be to replace the sword that he had used for so long. That evening he made arrangements with a communications man in Tokyo to send a message to Kyoto. A blacksmith in Kyoto would do this favor for Hiko. Hiko returned to the Kamiya dojo in the early morning hours, not revealing either that day's events or the condition of his sword, but Kenshin sensed something.
.
Through the police, Saitoh was able to arrange for a new sword. He did not have to use illegal means to get it.
.
A police investigation into the street battle would delay Saitoh's trip back to Kyoto. He wasn't very eager to leave things with Hiko as they were, but wasn't going to jeopardize his life over it either.
.
The following day, Hiko did not return to the bench, however, he was not fully satisfied with his relation with Saitoh. Of what Hiko knew about Saitoh, the officer would be returning to Kyoto shortly. Hiko decided his trip to Tokyo was over. He bid farewell to the crew later that day, and started home. Shortly thereafter, the "man" of the house, per say, returned. An investigator of Saitoh revealed that Hiko was no longer staying at the Kamiya dojo. Saitoh was just about ready to leave Tokyo anyway. He took care of the legal matters regarding the encounter with Hiko, and was on his way via carriage.
.
Will Hiko and Saitoh ever cross swords again? Will Kaoru ever get to say anything? Will Kenshin suddenly become a major character? Is it really stupid to keep asking rhetorical questions? If you guessed "yes" to any of those things then keep reading these chapters.
.
The voyage to Kyoto was significantly easier for Saitoh than it was for Kenshin's master. At no point did one travel the same path as the other at the same time.
.
In Kyoto, Hiko picked up a special sword that was waiting for him. Saitoh was already involved in everyday affairs with work at this point. Hiko left the shop of the blacksmith and inquired at a nearby police establishment (hiding the sword at this point.)
.
Saitoh knew there was little he could do in regard to Hiko as he didn't know when Hiko would return, where he would go, or if Hiko would come to Saitoh himself. Saitoh was willing to rely on his ability to not be caught off guard. This thought had barely entered the head when a shadow peered down onto Saitoh...
