"Kenshin, snap out of it, don't do this. Come on man, stop this" Sano tried failingly to talk some sense into Kenshin.

"O shut up! You are people are annoying ME." Battousai said with a demanding face.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here? A different form of good and perfect kind Kaoru, isn't it?"

Sano near the door tried to sneak out while carrying Megumi, who was still bleeding.

"Where do you think you're going?" Battousai asked Sano without even turning his head. "Leaving? I don't think so."

"Kenshin, she needs to see a doctor now." Sano said unconvincingly resulting a smirk appear on Battousai's face.

"Let him go, I rather talk to you alone than with that idiot there." Before Battousai could reply to Sano, Mutsuko cut in. Taking this chance Sano slipped out of the dojo, racing to doctor.

"Untie me now" Mustuko demanded.

"No one ever orders the Battousai, what do you think you are?"

"Someone you owe. It seems like you forgotten your past as well. You weren't born from Kenshin, that weak soul could never call you. You were once a great warrior, and after your death you entered Kenshin's body, not knowing you merged your own soul into his. And I, in your past life was your only standing opponent. We were evenly matched, stroke by stroke, move by move, perfectly until I jumped into poison, and you took the upper hand killing me, but I managed to stab you, and you died not long after me. Now release me and face me." while Mutsuko talked Battousai sat patiently listening, something he never done before. He got up, withdrew his Sakabato, turned it around and cut lose Mutsuko and started to walk away.

"Where are you going." Mustuko asked, a question, but clearly a demand. Battousai turned around, golden eyes, piercing another. Neither of them moved as they had what seemed to be a staring contest. Both of them broke it off at the same time.

"I go where I wish to go; you have no right to demand such things from me. I do not wish to fight you, at your current body strength, you can not defeat me. I want to kill you, fair and square, and until that time comes, let's not fight."

"HEY SANO, where were you?" Yahiko yelled at Sano, but stopped once he saw his distressed face. "What happened? Is Kenshin and Kaoru at the dojo yet?... well I'll go check then."

"No, wait, you mustn't. They're not there. Only the Battousai and Mutsuko are there now. They're dangerous, don't go back." Sano grabbed Yahiko's wrist and stared him down. "You mustn't go" He said once more seriously.

After Sano explained what happened, Yahiko only stood there in shock. The two people he looked up to, both lost, both will not return again. The very two people who saved him from his own troubles, now was gone.

"What's going to happen?" Yahiko asked, but inside he didn't want to know. Before Sano could reply Yahiko ran out into the streets, and just kept running.

The next thing he knew, he was at Tae-san's restaurant. No where else to go, everyone's life relied on Kenshin's and Kaoru's so much, that now they're gone, what will happen?

Ah, Kamiya Dojo. Here it is. I've been looking for you. My katana hasn't been drawn since I've last fought you. I sense it, the great joy of wrath, all just freshly unleashed. Your chi being so great, you don't even hide it. Such ego, it'll be a pity when I crush it between my very own blades. Tonight is for me to rest, tomorrow, my dear, tomorrow you will die.


A/N: sorry I've haven't updated in a while. Too busy with school.
