Yahiko had teary eyes and a sad chibi face. Akane whacked Yahiko on the back.

"Yahiko, don't be a baby!" Akane shouted, "Be a man!"

Yahiko growled at Akane for whacking him too hard.

"Hmm?" Katsumi said, turning to Yahiko.

Yahiko tapped his fingers together, looking down. Akane looked innocently and pushed forward at Katsumi. Sano smiled. He pushed Akane out of the restaurant, as he followed behind. Katsumi turned red by the cheeks. Yahiko put down his hands down by his side.

"I---" Yahiko started, "I---"

Suddenly, a big crash down from the ceiling of the restaurant collapsed. Yahiko jumped towards Katsumi and saved her from the broken woods. Yahiko felt splinters going deep through his skin. Katsumi's eyes widen and pulled out her sword. She stabbed a nearby table cloth and pulled it over Yahiko and Katsumi so no more broken wood or rocks of the cemented wall would hurt them.

Yahiko and Katsumi slowly opened their eyes. They found themselves lip locked under the table cloth.

"Get off!" Katsumi shouted, pushing Yahiko away. She turned away form him and blushed.

Akane and Sano ran back inside the restaurant, panting.

"We heard a big commotion over here!" Akane said, worried.

"So, we were running as fast as we could from the other side of town," Sano explained, looking down at Katsumi and Yahiko.

"We're fine," Yahiko said, lowly.

Akane, Sano, Yahiko and Katsumi looked up at the big hole in the ceiling. Katsumi and Akane walked over where a tall man with a thick black beard and who wore a green ninja outfit.

Two figures jumped down from the ceiling. It was Soujirou and Kenshin.

"The Obintea Tribe took Karou," Kenshin said, with the eyes of a hitokiri.
