Few hours later, the two men fell into consciousness and grumbled a bit. They shook their heads and looked around. They found themselves in the dept of the forest. Very dark and very quiet, that you could hear yourself breathing.
"Where are we?" the man in blue asked, looking around.
The men tried to stand up and realized that they can't, because they were tied to ten different thick tree roots. They couldn't move at all only they're legs.
"I bet, it's those girls!" the man in red screamed, in fury.
"I just bet!" the man in blue agreed, sniffing.
Suddenly, a coconut flew down onto the man in blue's head.
"No, sniffing now," a voice said form the top of the tree.
Both men looked up and saw Katsumi, sitting on the second tree branch. Akane appeared standing in front of the two men. She sat down 5 feet away from the men. Akane unpacked delicious food from her sack. Katsumi jumped down and stood next to Akane.
"What are we having for dinner?" Katsumi asked, looking inside the sack.
The two men dropped their mouths and stared speechlessly.
"Are you hungry, fellows?" Akane asked, holding up a rice ball.
The men drooled and stared at the rice ball which Akane was holding. Their stomach growled and turned red from embarrassment.
Katsumi started munching on her rice ball and sat 5 feet away from the male in blue. Akane did the same to the male in red. They soon finished their first ones. Then, they pulled out another rice balls. They smiled happily and started munching on it.
The two men moaned from hunger and started to drool all over their kimonos. Akane and Katsumi giggled and stretched out their arm. The nibbled rice balls were in their hands and the two men stared at it, hungrily.
"We'll give you the rest, if you give us information," Katsumi said.
The male in blue and red look at Katsumi and shook their heads.
"No way!" the male in red replied, angrily, "We will never tell you!"
"Yeah, we won't tell you anything!" the male in blue answered.
"I see," Katsumi said, smirked, "Fine, your lose."
Katsumi and Akane was about to bite into the rice ball, but then, the two men screamed. Akane smiled.
"So, will you tell us?" Akane asked, looking at the two men.
"Yes, we'll tell you anything we know!" the male in blue answered, eagerly.
"Okay, then," Katsumi said, stuffing the male in blue her rice ball. Akane did the same to the man in red.
"Now," Akane started, "Why is The Obintea Tribe destroying random towns in Japan?"
"We want to take over Japan, that's why!" the man in red answered, "After taking over Japan, we're going to move up to Korea!"
"Hmph. Who is your leader behind out of this stupidity?" Katsumi asked, giving both men glares.
"Kur--!" the man in red was about to answer, but a ninja shard dagger cut through his throat.
The man in blue shouted, scared and looked at his dead partner. Suddenly, another sharp shard dagger cut through his throat. Blood flooded around the two bodies. Katsumi and Akane turned around and spotted a ninja instantly. The ninja disappeared into the shadows.
Kenshin and Sano's POV:
Kenshin and Sano returned to the Kamiya Kasshin-Ryu Dojo. Yahiko and Soujirou waited for them to return. Sun was about to set.
"We have a plan," Sano said, in a serious tone.
"What is it?" Yahiko asked, taking a step forward.
"We're going to leave right in the morning and should arrive at night the next day," Kenshin said, staring at Soujirou and Yahiko.
Soujirou and Yahiko nodded, agreeing.
"It would be dark enough to attack," Sano explained.
