"Miss Kaoru I'll do all I can to save you that I will." Said Kenshin in a deep voice.

"You don't stand a chance in your form right now." Said Byoku.

"Do you want to count on it." He replied.

Byoku suddenly look into Kenshin's blood red eye's getting frightened by him but excited about return of the Batosi. "Yes that's it let out all your anger if you want to save your girlfriend then you'll have to return to your old self Hitokori Batosi!" Yelled Byoku.

"Hiten Mitsurugi style Ryu Shou Sen!" Yelled Kenshin as he charged at Byoku in a low position and came up in an uppercut, "Your not that tough that you're not, huh. 'he used his sword to block it by putting it up to his chin!'"

"You are pathetic Tizkusu Tokuru style Sukubu Rykuitsen!" Yelled Byoku as he threw Kenshin into the air and he took his sheath held it up and let Kenshin fall on it.

"Ah!" Yelled Kenshin as Byoku slammed him down to the ground.

"Kenshin!" Yelled Kaoru.

"Ha your no Batosi you're just a pathetic man with no fighting skills at all." Laughed Byoku but then he looked down at Kenshin but he disappeared!

"This battle is not over that it's not! Hiten Mitsurugi style Ryu Tsui Sen!" Yelled Kenshin as he slammed Byoku down to the ground.

"Arg" Moaned Byoku.

"I will end this battle that I will Ryu Tsui Sen!"

"Not on my count!" Yelled Byoku as he barely escaped from Kenshin's assault. "This battle is over! Tizkusu Tokuru style Osuko Ikara Sukusen Kokiro!" He came dashing at Kenshin with his sword in one hand and his other hand behind his back.

With one unexpected swing of that sword could kill Kenshin he'd have to be extra cautious but the thing is Byoku suddenly disappeared. 'No how can I beat him if I can't see him.' Thought Kenshin.

"I'm up here!" Yelled Byoku as he came down at intense speeds and in one simple flash it was over or that's what they thought in quick movement Kenshin took his sheath and blocked it.

"That was close," Sighed Kenshin.

"Who ever said I was finished."

"What, wait NO! your hand is still behind your back." Realized Kenshin but it was too late to stop it Byoku pulled a Knife from the back of his pants and slayed Kenshin.

"Its over, Syyuoki lets go take the prisoner." Demanded Byoku.

"KENSHIN!" Yelled Kaoru.

"Keep your mouth shut." Said Syyuoki.

"Why… why did you do that you monster!" Sobbed Kaoru.

"You heard the story." Said Byoku.

"He's changed!" Yelled Kaoru.

"It's too late now, lets go Syyuoki." Said Byoku.

Kaoru's thoughts are how could one simple matter turn into such a crisis. How could one man being attacked by imperialists lead to Kenshin by slayed? Who knows. **** Hey hope you liked this chapter I'll post another one if you post a couple reviews. If you have any question email me and I'll get back to you. BYE
