CHAPTER 13- LIBERTY OF LOVED ONES
Enishi scowled. "That fool! How dare he interfere!"
Kenshin opened his eyes when the fatal blow never came. He was amazed at what he saw. "Sano!"
Grunting with the effort, Sanosuke pulled Jiani up in an armlock. For a moment, she seemed shocked, but it quickly turned to rage, utter uncontrollable rage. Fiercely, she began struggling, attempting to free herself.
"Oh no you don't!" Sanosuke doubled his strength, bringing her even tighter against him. Then, he peered over at his friend. "Kenshin! You go save Kaoru from the white-haired bastard! Leave Jiani to me!"
"Sanosuke, I can't do that---
"Don't worry! I'll free her just as you'll free Jou-chan!" Sanosuke backed up with her, giving him room to rise. "GO! HURRY!"
Kenshin hesitated for a brief second then frowned with resolve. "Right." He quickly left to face Enishi, who was waiting for him.
Kaoru smiled with relief. "Kenshin! Are you---?"
He shot her a quick grin. "Aa, I'm fine. I'll be but a minute, so wait right there, okay?"
She nodded. "O-Okay,"
Enishi pulled out his own sword. "You may as well forget about that, Battousai. Since your daughter now must destroy that guy, it'll be my job alone to kill you."
Kenshin settled into a stance. "As I've told your men before, Enishi, I cannot doubt Sanosuke's word." He smiled slightly. "He will bring back my daughter just as I will bring back Miss Kaoru."
"We'll see about that," Enishi replied. "Now! LET'S GO!!!" He raced at the rurouni, ready to begin the fight that would settle their score and determine who Tomoe would end up smiling for.
