The horse and its rider rushed down the path towards Oosaka.
"Damn it!" thought lone police officer as he pushed his steed to its limit.
"300 men with countless battle experience. Who would have thought they would have so much effort put into one attack"
Up ahead a man sat perched on a branch stretched out over the road. He eyed his prey as he rode on alone. The man was dead he just didn't know it.
Quickly the assassin swung down unsheathing his katana. With one fluid cut he beheaded both rider and steed. Dragging both corpses into the bushes near the road he hide all evidence of a murder. Stealthily he ran back towards Edo. Running like the wind he jumped onto the roof of a house and quickly ran along the peaks of the roofs toward his master and his reward.
Chou woke up staring at the ceiling. He shook his head as a jolt of pain hit him.
"Damn it all!" he muttered. Shinichi stood nearby half asleep. He quickly snapped to attention as he saw Chou sit up. "Sir! You shouldn't stand yet you've lost a lot of blood and are hurt bad!"
"Don't mind me.either way I have to get back out there."
"But." Shinichi started.
"No! I have to whether I want to or not." Chou said as he struggled to his feet.
He quickly grabbed a pistol from the rack near by.
"I don't want to have to use such an awful weapon but I'm in no shape to use my swords."
Shinichi nodded before grabbing a pistol as well.
Saitou and a large contingment of men were standing in the shadows out side of the police station. standing in a line Saitou drew his katana a lout clink sounded out through the almost silent night.hiding around every corner was every police officer in the station most armed with swords some had rifles and pistols. Saitou nodded with a wave of his head. Instantly all the men on the line rushed at the small group of men. Steel flashed as New Shinsengumi drew their swords. Someone in the group of policemen gave a shout and ran forward with his sword drawn.
"No! stay back! You'll be killed!" Shinichi yelled at his back.
The man payed him no mind and attacked the first man in the line. As he raised his sword the lead man of the new Shinsengumi sliced his hands off. The man behind him sliced his head from his shoulders.
"Retreat to the station!" Chou yelled from his position behind the men.
Quickly all the men were inside the building.
"Your weak! All of you!" Saitou yelled.
"Damnit!" Chou thought. "we have no way out of this.either Oosaka sends men or were all going to die here."
Outside Saitou stood watching the station to see if there was any movement..
He sighed and sat down commanding his men to as well.it would be a long night.
