Katsumi walked down the streets of Tokyo, her back still bleeding she had to get to Kito, so she could heal her. She entered a house and saw Kito.
"Can you patch my wound up?" Katsumi asked Kito.
"I see you got in a battle, one like you would never get hurt." Kito said.
"It's what love will do to you." Katsumi said, and then sat down and let Kito patch her wound up.
Back
at the Kamiya Dojo, Kenshin and Sano guarded the front. Akane sat
with Yahiko watching the breeze pass by while Kaoru was cooking.
Akane turned to the speechless Yahiko.
"This is what love
will do to you." Akane said.
Yahiko looked up at Akane, staring at her. "What do you know?" Yahiko, said not speechless anymore.
"I
know Katsumi." Akane said, faintly looking down at the dust
ground.
"What!" Yahiko, said standing up.
"Yes, I know
her." Akane said. "We met on the way from Kyoto and traveled to
Tokyo together, both for our own purposes."
"What is yours?"
Yahiko asked, sitting down.
"To
train under Kenshin. But it seems he won't take me under his
training, only Miss Kaoru will."
"Yup, that's Kenshin for
you." Yahiko said, joking.
"Do your truly love Katsumi?" Akane asked, Yahiko curiously.
"I'm
not sureā¦."Yahiko said looking down.
"Well if you do, you
should go and tell her." Akane said.
Yahiko just remained quiet.
Back in town, Katsumi was bandaged up and walked through the streets of Tokyo. She entered a restaurant and ordered some sake and a few rice balls and started to eat, her katana at her side. A couple of men were watching her from the seat to her left. She glared at them, coldly telling them that she wasn't to be messed with.
When Katsumi was finished, she paid and left the restaurant. The three men followed her. They had swords, but were probably not as skilled as Katsumi was.
"Hey,
Missy," One of the men said. "Come here."
Katsumi turned to
face the three men. "Wasn't my first warning good enough?" She
asked, unsheathing her katana and got into a stance. "I warned
you."
Katsumi charged at the three men, slashing across one of
the men's chests then another across the back, as her speed
increased she slashed the last one then repeated it until the men
were slashed from back to front.
"Told you I warned you." She
said as the men fell to the ground. Katsumi then vanished from the
town.
