"Kenshin!" the team cried. Sano was taking a few steps foward to assist. "Sano... Please protect the others." Kenshin uttered in pain. The poison numbed my legs! I can barely move. The gaurd caught him offgaurd and started punching and kicking him nonstop. "Ugh!" Blood sprayed out of his mouth and wounds. "Kenshin!" Koaru cried, tears flowing down her cheeks. A knight grabbed on to her and held a dagger to her neck. "Stop struggling, or Ill slice off her head!" he roared. Sano was enraged and was about to attack when- "Dont hurt... her. T-take me... instead!" Kenshin said hoarsely, barely breathing. " Fire Knight, hit him!" the knight with a fire crest on his armor stood up and landed several blows on the injured rurouni. After the beating, Kenshin stood there, barely standing. "S-Sano, Yahiko... P-please take care of Koaru-d-dono..." with that he collapsed, unconscious. "Kenshin!" the three of them shouted. "Now he shall die. Bring the Battosai here, Fire Knight." ordered queen Kairi. "We shall end this by slitting his throat. And Fire Knight shall do this."
Kenshin returned barely conscious to see the same knight that attacked him holding his head up with a dagger ready to slit his throat. Kenshin closed his eyes. At least Koaru-dono is alright... Kenshin peeked a crack to see Koaru-dono. And shes... crying. "Kenshin...Kenshin!" she sobbed. Then Masters warning rang throughout his mind... "If you die, this girl will never truely be happy..." I... cant die! I must make Koaru-dono happy no matter what! Though I have very little strength, what can I do? Then a thought occured to him. Maybe, right before the slit hits, I can move my neck so I would only get half the damage! Thin as ricepaper chance, though same thing as Amakakeru Ryu No Hirameki. "Now! On san, Fire Night slit the Battosais throat!" she demanded. "Ichi!... Ni!...(here it comes!) SAN!" "Nooooo!" Koaru screamed. And the dagger came, Kenshin shifted his throat backwards right before it hit. "SHHH!"
Much energy was drained fromhis body as scarlet blood ran down his neck. Good, no arteries hit... Though I cant stay conscious much longer. I must fake. So Kenshin stopped breathing when the queen put her hand in front of his mouth to check if hes dead. "He has died! So his cold heart stopped beating!" she anounced wearily. "Kenshin! Kenshin!" Koaru sobbed. "Can I at least have his body and sword to bury? Please!" she pleaded. "Alright! You shall have his lifeless body! On one condition, never come back!" "Yes." Koaru agreed. Kenshin took a small breath and held it again. The Fire Gaurd kicked him away andpain shot up his ribs soKenshin had to surpress a gasp. Koaru grabbed hold of his gi and hauled him towards the exit, crying. "Kenshin... Kenshin..." Koaru sobbed. "Y-yes Koaru-dono?"he uttered before losing consciousness.
"Kenshin! Hes alive!" Koaru cried. "Huh!" Yahiko and Sano blurted. "B-but! We saw his throat..." Yahiko stuttered. "I get it! Kenshin moved his neck right in time to advoid the worst of it." muttered Sano. "We go home and get Kenshins wounds treated immediately!" Koaru commanded. "Right."
