Seijuro asked the man

" What do you want? "

Seijuro said to the man

" Sugoi no Speedo, "

Seijuro asked the man

" what to be the next Seijuro Hiko the 14th ? or you just want to kill me? "

The man said to Seijuro " I could kill that easily, but not yet. First I hunt down every swordsmen in this country. Then you'll be my prized head. "

Then the man just disappeared.

Yahiko shouted towards to Misao "Baka! Misao, we thought there's someone following us."

Misao said to Yahiko " relax, you guys. "

Yahiko asked Misao " Misao, why are you here? "

Misao shouted to Yahiko " oh! Yeah "

then Misao pulled out her Twin sword Kodachi. Yahiko was shocked. Yahiko was shocked.

Yahiko said " Twin Sword Kodachi, that's Aoshi's sword. "

Yahiko shouted towards to Misao " you, stole it from Aoshi? "

Misao just laugh " hahahaah "

Misao said to Yahiko " this is my new sword now. Aoshi has his own sword. "

Yahiko said to Misao " bet ya, you don't know how to fight. Using a sword. "

Misao said to Yahiko " oh yeah! Try me "

Kenji said Yahiko " Yahiko, we must go now. "

Yahiko said to Kenji " you go ahead, I'll just catch up. After I finish this Kyoto girl. "

Kenji said to Yahiko " okay, see you there. "

Then Kenji walked towards to Seijuro's place. While Yahiko and Misao are going to fight each other.. Yahiko pulled out his own reverse edge sword. Yahiko is waiting for Misao to strike.

Kenji asked Seijuro " Doshite Sensei? "

then Seijuro released Kenji. Then Kenji saw a Seijuro's sword is broken.

Kenji asked Seijuro " what happen? "

Seijuro answered "I was attack yesterday, by a man. He has great fighting skill, more than I ever imagine. He countered my Kuzuryusen, with his great skill. He is very dangerous."

Then suddenly Misao and Yahiko arrived. Then Seijuro saw Kenji, Yahiko and Misao.

Meanwhile in Kyoto. Okina received a letter from a oniwabanshu source. Okina opened the letter:
