Kenshin hadn't slept all night. He had sat up wondering about his sanity. Questions plagued his mind. If it was a phantom why had it come now? Why 10 years after his death and why hadn't there been more? Kenshin nodded off to sleep as Kaoru walked into the Dojo. Sano had come back from wherever he had been and had been sulking in a corner of the dojo's yard. Kaoru's eyes fell upon her sleeping husband. "That's odd he always wakes up when I come into the room." Kaoru remarked. Kenshin suddenly snapped awake a familiar ki was approaching. He slowly stood. Walking off the stiffness he walked out front toward the approaching ki. Saitou walked up toward the Kamiya Dojo deep in thought again the horrific scenes flashed through his mind. Suddenly he sensed the all to familiar ki. Enraged he drew his sword. "BATTOUSAI!!!!" He Shouted. Kenshin was barely able to dodge the fearsome slash from Saitou. Falling back Kenshin drew his sword. Blocking a second attack he flew at Saitou determined to give a good whack in the head to try to stop him. Falling back Kenshin whirled a flash of silver light reflected the path of the Ryu Kan Sen. Saitou ducked and brought his sword up. Hilt first he slammed Kenshin in the chin. Caught off Guard by the suddenly quickened moves Kenshin went reeling backwards before collapsing. Saitou thrust his sword at Kenshins Head. A Blade intercepted Saitou stab. A fist from behind rendered the maddened Shinsengumi warrior unconscious. Kaoru stood above Kenshin holding her fathers precious blade Sano stood behind the unconscious Saitou. "What went wrong with him?" Sano asked as he kicked him in the head. Kenshin blushed with embarrassment at the fact that, he, Hitokiri Battousai had to be saved by his wife. As his blush died he mumbled about how Saitou seemed to have regained the swordsmanship that he had possessed during the Bakumatsu. "Countless times I fought against him and this time was no exception." Kenshin stated. He had perfect form his blade had turned once again into the most deadly blade of the Shinsengumi." Kaoru just stared. Sano turned his attention back to kicking Saitou in the head. "Kenshin" he said "your talking funny again." Kenshin sweatdropped. All eyes turned again to Saitou who was now sitting up giving Sano dirty looks. "What happened Saitou?" Kenshin questioned. "you suddenly went on the attack" "But your form and style was deadly.it was like you had retaken the form of the 3rd captain of the Shinsengumi." Saitou broke out laughing maniacally.
