As the two warriors ran towards the temple they ran into a maze of trees to slow them down.
"Kenshin what the hell is going now how do you expect us to there now and what the hell is that sound."
"Sano that is the forest we have walked into the realm of the ketin kye, of realm of trees that have a living soul and feed on our Gaia within so whatever you do don't touch them or they will be enraged and feast on your Gaia."
"Well then Kenshin get your ass in gear because we have awoken them and they are fucking mad."
Sano retorted.
As the two warriors dodged and ran their inner Gaia became weary and become to enervate the warriors.
"Holy shit Kenshin, I can't run anymore please tell me we are near the end of the forest!" Sano said in a panic.
"Actually Sano we have arrived at the temple and so is our friend.
"Look here Kenshin and his little friend got here on time I hope you enjoyed the forest," the man said with his maniacal laugh. "And now you shall die"
Without a moment passing the blades of Kenshin and his challenger struck.
"What the fuck Kenshin I can't see you guys all I see is the blood from your katanas,"
"Sano I know just stand back!" exclaimed Kenshin as the cacophony of the katanas striking spread throughout the temple.
Finally a burst of blood and entrails fell to the floor with a body and a katana in the man's head.
"Who the hell was that Kenshin and how were you moving so fast?" Sano inquired.
"Sano leave he wasn't the real threat and that was the secret of Hitenmitsurugi style."
"Kenshin then who is it, who?"
Sano inquired.
The last hittokiri, the descendent of the emperor, Fujokitomiri," Kenshin retorted
"Very good Kenshin but how did you know what gave me away was it the letter or the dumb ass I hired to challenge you?" Fujokitomiri inquired, "Oh, and how do you think you're going to beat me!"
The blade of the hittokiri struck Kenshin's blade with such power that it split the ground beneath them.
Strike after strike the temple turned into a battleground painted in blood. Even though the scars and blood was dripping from their bodies they wouldn't give up and they became ever more drenched in the flow of their opponents blood.
"Damnit Kenshin you are going to teach me to move like that so I can get some money," Sanosuke said in a laugh
"Shut up Sano before I strike you down!" Kenshin screamed.
Still blood fell down to the ground making it ever more difficult to go on.
Finally the hittokiri within Kenshin awoke and struck Fujokitomiri to the ground with such force that the crevice beneath them grew and Fujokitomiri fell deep within its pits.
"Damn Kenshin that rocked well we better get home,"
Sano alleged.
"Quiet you mortal you shall die!" shouted Kenshin.
"Kenshin! Nooooooooooo!" shouted Sano "Damnit wake up Kenshin this isn't you."
"Sano I'm sorry damn I hate myself when that happens. Well let us go on home and Sano"
"Yes?"
"Will you help me walk" Said the wounded Kenshin"
"Sure let's go home"
The two warriors walked home thinking the worse had passed but never think evil is ever gone.
