Dr. Genzai stayed at the dojo that night. So Kenshin had Sano make out another bed for him to sleep on.
Kenshin was sitting outsid on the porch, he was gripping his sword, while his eyes flickered amber. 'Why couldn't I sense anything?' he thought, usually he would wake at the slightest sound, or movement, but not this time. He stared up at the sky, as a tear slid down his cheek, then spreading over the cross shaped scar.
He closed his eyes as his head dropped back down then he opened them. That's when he noticed it, there were tracks along the ground. But these weren't footprint tracks, they looked as though someone shuffled along the ground. Kenshin quickly jumped up and went inside the dojo.

"NO" echoed through the dojo, early that morning waking everyone up, and had them running to the kitchen.
"What is it Dr. Genzai?" said Sano as he stopped at the door entrance. He had heard screaming and was scared that something really bad had happened. But know Dr. Genzai was standing in the middle of the room clutching paper.
Yahiko entered also, when we saw the seen he thought that maybe the old man had lost his marbles, and was reliving the kidnaping
"Kenshin, he....he...left! He said he had to go away! But he has to help us find my granddaughters
and Kaoru." sobbed Dr. Genzai. He fell to his knees as Sano took the note Kenshin left for them and read it five or six times.
"Don't worry, when he gets back we'll go after the bastards who took the girls." reassured Sano, as he crumpled up the note in his hands and tossed it to the floor.

Kenshin was walking down the path that was made by the wagon wheels, and horse feet. He had been walking for at least a 5 hours, and most likely walked a good 10 or so miles. As he walked he noticed that there were spots were, it seemed as though the wagon had stopped. And he occasionally saw strands of hay. So he knew when he came to a town, to look for and ask about a wagon with hay.
