Sensei Kurata rhode through the village searching for Kenshin, and like many believing that he could beat the legendary bataussai. Little did he know that Yahiko had broken free from his bounds and had already broken free of his bounds and was on his way to find Kenshin and the others.

Stupid child, Kurata thought to himself, his whole capture was useless. I thought
that a bataussai would be able to come to his rescue a lot faster and with much ease...perhaps the bataussai is rustier than I thought him to be. ha! Then I will have an even better chance at defeating him! I wonder where the old manslayer could be?

I'm so hungry...Yahiko thought to himself. I can't keep going like this.  I'll die before I ever meet up with the others. I'm worried too! What could have happened to Kenshin that he was not able to come to my rescue? I wonder if that nasty Kurata man has found him yet. Please...Please let them be okay. If they die then it will be my fault. What is taking him?!?! I didn't think that the Kurata guy was that good! In fact he was horrible and had sloppy form compared to Kenshin's skills! I hope that Kenshin is alright. I have a horrible feeling that more is going on than I could imagine at the moment.

"Kenshin this has to be settled!" shouted Sano.
"Lets fight now for Kaoru!"
"Sano please, you'll both get hurt." said Kaoru through tears.
"Sano, although I love Miss Kaoru and would always fight for her, I'm
afraid that she is right." said Kenshin.
"So i guess that you're just a chicken then!"
"Kenshin don't do this!" cried Kaoru.
"Gonna let a woman run your life Ken?"
"Sano, I don't want to do this and I'm sure that Kaoru doesn't want me to,
but we need to settle things so i will fight you."
"Let's go then!" shouted Sano.
"Kenshin, Sano, please! I won't let you do this!" cried Kaoru!
Kaoru couldn't feel the muscles in her body anymore and all the life felt like it had Been sucked out of her. Everything was beginning to fade and she felt herself falling. How could this be happening? She told herself to hang on but there was nothing that could help her now, she was falling into a state where she could no breathe. Her body felt paralyzed.
"Ken....shin" she whispered into the silence.
just before she faded out completely she heard a voice, but it belonged to neither Kenshin or Sano.
"So, Bataussai! it's been a long time! please introduce me to your friends before i kill
you!"
