Akane, Sanosuke, Kenshin and Kaoru talk in the Kamiya Dojo. No one is standing guard watching for Katsumi. Katsumi watches them from a tree beyond the dojo wall. She jumps down from the tree landing in the backyard of the dojo. When she landed she was as light as a feather and made no noise that Kenshin and the others could hear.

Back at where Katsumi had kept Yahiko, Kito had misjudged Yahiko and Yahiko got untied by himself and Kito was now knocked out after a hand to hand fight with Yahiko. Yahiko ran down the streets of Tokyo heading for the Kamiya Dojo. He knocked down people on his way and sometimes fell. He reached the dojo...

Katsumi had been listening to Kenshin and the others talk, katana and dagger ready. Yahiko spotted her and got his sword out (Yes a real one) and walked silently up behind Katsumi. This went through his mind as he came up behind Katsumi, What if he killed her? Then what was this love they had between themselves? What was the use in untieing her if she was just to get killed? She broke her promise so it isn't my fault. Yahiko thought. He came up behind her and was ready to strike her with his sword when Katsumi stepped forward really fast and was heading toward Kenshin. Yahiko had failed Kenshin.

Kenshin blocked Katsumi's attack with just his reverse blade, and practically knocked Katsumi away. "This one doesn't want to fight you." He said to Katsumi as she stood up.

"I must get revenge." Katsumi said angred. She charged towards Kenshin he dodged and went outside.

"This one does not want to fight in the dojo."Kenshin said, as Katsumi came towards him. Koaru, Akane and Sanosuke had backed away when Katsumi came in. Yahiko watched in frusteration.

He looked down, then to Akane, Kaoru, and Sanosuke. Then to Kenshin and Katsumi fighting. He got his sword and went charging towards Katsumi. Katsumi blocked with a simple block, and knocked Yahiko away. Kenshin's and katsumi's swords then clashed with each other then again and again, as they battled. Yahiko stood up and watched as Kenshin and Katsumi battled. He couldn't help but want to stop the battle for a friend and for one he had a crush on. He looked down then charged towards Katsumi, this time for sure he wouldn't get knocked down. He hit Katsumi on the back as Kenshin's and Katsumi's swords clashed with each other. Yahiko's sword went deeper into Katsumi's back, Katsumi fell back into Yahiko. She stared at him like she hadn't before. She casted a wind between Kenshin and her and Yahiko. She continued to stare at Yahiko, then lightly kissed him on the lips and was gone, as the wind disappeared. Yahiko fell to the ground as he put his hands up to his face and his sword fell to the ground.

Akane was the first to run over to Yahiko. "Are you alright?" She asked him. He pushed her away.

"This one suggests it is best to leave Yahiko alone for now." Kenshin said, entering the dojo. Kaoru and the others followed leaving Yahiko and Akane alone.

Yahiko still had his hands on his face. Akane was worried."Are you alright?" She asked again. He still didn't reply. So she shook him. Still no reply.

"Yahiko?" She asked him. He looked towards him.
