CHAPTER 15- TOMOE'S SMILE
Kenshin and Enishi continued to engage in their fierce battle, each strike coming closer and closer to finishing it. Kenshin found himself tiring quickly, the strain of the previous days beginning to take its toll. Kaoru watched with her hands worriedly over her mouth. "Kenshin."
Meanwhile, Heishin was reawakening back in the woods.
Enishi and Kenshin faced each other in standoff, panting heavily.
"Tell me.Battousai." Tomoe's brother inquired. "My sister.does she smile for you now?"
Before Kenshin could answer, there came a voice. "PAPA!!"
Both warriors turned to see Jiani running towards them. Kenshin gasped. "Jiani!"
She beamed tearfully. "Papa! Don't hold back! I know you'll win!"
"How did she---?" Enishi muttered. Why all of a sudden was she back on his side? And her eyes; why did they sparkle for him in such a fond way?
Kenshin stared at her for a long moment, "Jiani-chan."
He glanced back at Kaoru, who was watching his every move. "Kaoru."
Enishi spat onto the sand. "Fine!! I'LL KILL YOU NOW!!!!!!!" He charged, readying his Kyoukeimyaku Watoujutsu! This was it! It was time for the final strike!
Kenshin sprang into flight as well, his eyes burning with determination unlike ever before. It was time for the Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki!
C-CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
As everyone watching held their breath, the two struck. But before Enishi could even swing down his blade, he was hit right in the chest. He sputtered. "UGN!!" 'What is this? It's different than the first one!'
He felt himself losing ground.
"He's found his answers!" Kaoru realized. "His doubtless determination has made this the winning blow!"
'No! Please smile Tomoe! Smile for me and I'll win! Please!'
However, the Tomoe that appeared before his eyes was far from smiling.
Kenshin completed his ultimate attack, sending Enishi hurling into the skies.
