Unexpected Rage of the Young Noble Swordsman

"NO! STOP IT! PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU!" Hideyoshi cried with loud laughing because Motochika and Ootomo are giving her the tickling torture just like how they suffered.

"That's what you get for doing this to us earlier." Ootomo grinned.

"This will all be over if you tell us Nobunaga, Mitsuhide, and Kenshin's weaknesses." Motochika demanded they continue the tickle torture on Hideyoshi.

Meanwhile, Saeko is standing next to Mori who is meditating with her claw weapon trying to sense where the three enemies are.

"This is so boring. Why did we have to come up here when we could have just taken them on back at the beach?" Saeko asked complaining.

"Because we need to think carefully on how to deal with our enemies. If you go in without one, then you're to failure." Mori stated.

"Like how you three failed to attack them instead doing that stupid introduction." Saeko mocked.

"(I really hate working with this woman, but it's not like we have choice right now consider it's Nobunaga we're facing and that other male warrior from another world.)" Mori thought angered.

Then she notices her claw is glowing a demonic-like purple aura as it is informing her of three certain souls entering the forest and running up the mountain.

"Ah, it looks like they have entered the mountain." Mori smirked.

"Three, you say… Does that mean the man known as Kenshi is among them as well?" Saeko asked with an evil smirk.

"That is correct." Mori answered.

"Good, that's all I needed to hear." Saeko chuckled with excitement making her blood boils as she can feel a great battle she always wanted to happen.

"But I want to make one thing clear." Saeko said.

"What's that?" Mori asked.

Suddenly Saeko made a fast swing of her sword before everyone inside the little hut they are hiding in could react, and one slash mark for each girl appeared next to them giving them a scare.

"I want that man for myself. I alone will battle him to the death for he is my prey alone, and if any of you idiots dare to interfere with the battle, then you can all die by my blade." Saeko threatened.

"H-Hold on, you're supposed to be working with us. Remember?" Ootomo asked feeling scared.

"I'm only working with you three because Lord Shishio said I may find a worthy opponent for my blade and since I found that opponent, I don't need to stick around with you three idiot lords anymore." Saeko said as she exits the hut.

"(She's going after Kenshin, and she wants to fight him to the death!)" Hideyoshi thought worried.

"Kenshin, please be okay." Hideyoshi preyed.

(With Kenshin, Nobunaga, and Akechi)

Kenshin and the girls are running through the forest, heading up to the mountain hoping to find Hideyoshi soon to save her from the three lords and that Saeko assassin.

"Hey, Akechi!" Kenshin yelled a little, getting her attention.

"Where do you think they're hiding Hideyoshi?" Kenshin asked in a firm tone.

"Well, huh, the best way I can think of is they would be in a cave or something within the forest like a hut such as the one at the beach." Akechi guessed.

"Which is it, you idiot? You're supposed to be the smart one!" Kenshin angered.

"Excuse me?!" Akechi shocked of how Kenshin is speaking to her right now which is a first.

"Beloved, you must stay calm or else you might lose yourself before the battle can even start." Nobunaga advised.

"I'll be calm once I get that woman and make her pay for harming you, Akechi, and taking Hideyoshi like she's some kind of prize." Kenshin clutched onto the hilt of his sword.

"(I've never seen Kenshin like this, and he's not even said usual words he does after each sentence.)" Nobunaga thought worried.

"Rage is like a fire, but if you're not careful than it could be put out too quickly." Nobunaga warned.

"Thanks for the pep talk, but I would like to find that woman right now." Kenshin said with a fierce look.

"Oh, missing me already?" Saeko asked sarcastically.

Hearing that voice causes the three warriors to stop running and looking around trying to find where Saeko is, then Akechi spotted the woman standing on a tree branch.

"Over there!" Akechi pointed at Saeko, alerting her two Lords.

"So, you decided to quit hiding like a coward now." Nobunaga mocked.

"Please, I only showed myself because I wanted Kenshin to see who his death will be." Saeko chuckled and glared smiling at Kenshin.

"What have you done to Hideyoshi?" Kenshin demanded pointing his sword at the assassin woman.

"Oh, don't you worry about her. She is all right." Saeko revealed holding Hideyoshi tied up for them to see.

"Kenshin! My Lord, Akerin! Save me!" Hideyoshi screamed for her.

"You put her down right now!" Kenshin growled.

"Don't worry, I merely want her to witness of how I shall kill you while savoring the sweet blood of our battle." Saeko grinned.

"I don't like the sound of that." Hideysohi gulped in fear.

"Good, sensing the fear of others is what gets me all wild up!" Saeko licked Hideyoshi's face making the blonde girl feel more uncomfortable.

"You will put her down… NOW!" Kenshin sprinted at Saeko faster than she can almost react.

Saeko was able to lean back and jump to another tree branch to dodge that sudden fast attack, only to feel her right cheek is cut much to her shock, and part of the tree was cut down by Kenshin's strike.

"Yes, this is more than I can ever hope for!" Saeko excited and starts jumping away.

"Get back here!" Kenshin shouted in rage and jumps after Saeko to rescue Hideyoshi.

"Kenshin, wait!" Nobunaga called out, but her beloved wasn't listening.

"My Lord, I don't mean to sound like I'm out of line, but it seems like Kenshin isn't being himself right now." Akechi mentioned.

"Yes, I notice that as well, it's like the gentle nature in his soul has been pushed away by the sudden rage when that woman appeared back at the beach." Nobunaga recalled what she saw on Kenshin back at the beach.

(Moments Ago)

"Come on, we have to go after them." Kenshin said in a firm tone.

"Yes, we must hurry." Nobunaga nodded, but then saw something about Kenshin's sword that is different somehow.

"Wait, Kenshin, your sword looks"

"We don't have time for whatever you're suggesting, we have some bitches to take care of." Kenshin looked back at Nobunaga.

Nobunaga became shocked upon seeing Kenshin's eyes are completely different now as instead of the usual kind and brave look, they are now filled with rage and the intent to kill as his eye colors are now yellow as well.

"Quit wasting time with talk!" Kenshin said before running off.

(Present)

"It was almost like a demon has taken over his body." Nobunaga worried.

"I guess even kind souls like Kenshin have their limit before they break." Akechi commented.

"Not to mention there was the way he was holding his sword, he held it at the blade side." Nobunaga informed.

"The blade side, then that means…!" Akechi feared of what Kenshin will do like that.

Then suddenly they heard cannon fire from a distance and saw a few cannonballs coming at them from the direction they were shot from.

"Scatter!" Nobunaga yelled and the two quickly separated to avoid the cannon balls as they cause explosions upon impact.

"My lady!" Akechi called out worry.

"I'm okay, it looks like the enemies are separating us. Guess we'll have to play along for now." Nobunaga said, wishing she could go with Kenshin right now.

(With Kenshin)

"Quit running and fight me!" Kenshin demanded.

"I just wanted to take us to the proper battlefield for our death match." Saeko assured.

"Can you please put me down, I feel like I'm gonna punk." Hideyoshi begged while feeling her tummy working against her now.

"You will stop now!" Kenshin sprinted harder and swing his sword to slash at Saeko from behind.

"Wait, Kenshin! I'm still here!" Hideyoshi panicked that Kenshin might accidentally cut her too.

But Saeko smirks and vanish from Kenshin's sight for an instant as he searches for her down on the ground and spotted the madwoman, then he came down making an epic landing as he glares at her and saw Hideyoshi pinned on a tree.

"Oh, that glare is sending shivers down my spine." Saeko smiled, feeling turned on right now.

"I hope you were expecting to go to Hell because that where I'll be sending you." Kenshin pointed his sword at Saeko.

"I love to see your try!" Saeko smirked.

"(Kenshin, what's happening to you? You look like a scary thug or something… much worse.)" Hideyoshi thought worried for Kenshin.

(Music: Stricken, Disturbed)

"You're going to regret for what you did to Akechi and Nobunaga." Kenshin glared.

"I intend on doing things far worse to them after you're dead and you can al enjoy each other in Hell." Saeko charged at Kenshin swinging her sword down against his.

Kenshin glares at Saeko who just smiles insanely in respond, then he pushes her away to attack as they clash their swords trying to get a hit on each other though it would seem Saeko is getting a little overwhelmed as Kenshin's attacks are strong brutal slowly pushing her back.

But Saeko smirks as she moves her body sideway to dodge a strike from Kenshin and she immediately go for one of her attacks.

"Desusutā (Death Star)" Saeko started spinning around with each swing come in a different angel into the shape of a star pushing Kenshin several feet.

"I'm not done!" Saeko charged at Kenshin for another swing for his head.

Kenshin however recovered quicker than Saeko thought as he swung his sword to stop the incoming attack, and then slide his sword down at the assassin woman who managed to move away on her right though end up getting a big cut on her left shoulder. And Kenshin didn't stop there as he pursue her and swung his blade fiercely as she blocks them and pushes him away, she decided to go for the Shin No Ippo on him again.

"I don't think so." Kenshin resisted the paralyzing stare technique and charges at Saeko again.

"Amazing! You're just amazing!" Saeko excited.

Jump back from Kenshin's strike to leap back at him swinging her sword from left and right and left again, repeating this barrage of attacks while moving each strike in a slightly different angel then slash at the right leg causing Kenshin to grind his teeth to keep himself from screaming.

"You know, that looks like where I made a cut on Nobunaga's leg earlier. Now you two will me matching." Saeko mocked.

"Matching, huh? Too bad I can't say the same about your corpse!" Kenshin yelled.

The two sword fighters clash their blades fiercer and dark from each metal clashing sound of their katanas, getting cuts on each other's bodies and blood coming out though neither of them is giving in to the pain as they are only focus on killing each other.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm loving this fight!" Saeko screamed in joy.

One on clash, Saeko move Kenshin's sword to the side to make a quickly slash on the left should and down a little then she sent him flying to crash onto a tree from using the side of the blade.

"Kenshin!" Hideyoshi called out worry.

Saeko took a moment to herself licking the blood from one of her wounds getting that taste causing her smile to grow fierce like a creepy clown who is not so friendly like the other clowns, she lay her eyes on Kenshin who is still standing strong looking back at her with a glare.

"I love it! The thrill of battle, the pounding of my heart, the taste of my own blood. I LOVE IT!" Saeko laughed insanely as she charges at Kenshin.

"If you love it so much, then I'm sure you will also love the feeling of death!" Kenshin angered.

"Doryūsen (Earth Dragon Flash)!" Kenshin strike the ground with his sword and send some earthen debris at Saeko.

Saeko responded by slashing away those little rocks though create a little cover of dust which became a cover for Kenshin as he blitzes toward the female assassin, he held his sword up pointing the tip straight at Saeko for the head.

"Ryūsōsen ● Garami (Dragon Nest Flash: Gnawing)!" Kenshin thrusted his sword fast at such intense speed that Saeko was barely able to see that coming.

The attack seems to have made an impact so hard that it sends Saeko flying, but that is only because Saeko jumped backward at the very last moment it was about to make contact to her forehead that she wouldn't take the full force of her attack. However, Kenshin's attack still made her bleed from the forehead as blood squirted out a little though that only made Saeko smile even more as she can feel her heart is racing.

(Music End)

Then Kenshin stabs his sword onto Saeko's right leg causing her to scream in pain.

"(Oh, this is really happening, isn't it?)" Saeko thought asked as she looks up at Kenshin.

"It's over." Kenshin said.

"Wow, I never thought death would be coming to me like this. You really are something else, now go ahead and finish me off!" Saeko begged exciting.

Kenshin didn't waste anytime as he thrust his sword down going for the heart.

"KENSHIN, NO!" Hideyoshi shouted and a single tear hit the ground.

This Kenshin to stop his attack when it was under half an inch to Saeko's flesh as he turns to see the crying Hideyoshi with such sadness in her eyes.

"Please, don't do it. Don't kill her like a monster." Hideyoshi begged.

"Like a monster, but this woman… She abducted you, hurt our Lord and Akechi! Not to mention she's an assassin, she kills people for a living and thrill to taste their blood!" Kenshin pointed out.

"How can you say she doesn't deserve death?!" Kenshin asked.

"Because you're becoming like her, and I don't like it!" Hideyoshi yelled back.

"Like her?" Kenshin wondered what she could mean by and look at himself on the reflection of his sword.

"You… You told me that sword only to be used to protect lives, not killing. You're the nicest guy I ever got to meet, you said strength comes from the heart and all the kind things… Are you really going to throw all that away like this?!" Hideyoshi asked loudly.

This causes Kenshin to realize what is he doing and the way he has been acting, also realizing how he was behaving to Akechi and his lover, Nobunaga believing that he maybe becoming a monster like Saeko.

He took a deep breath and whack himself hard on the face by the reverse end of his sword shocking the two girls.

"I'm sorry, Hideyoshi, for almost losing myself to bloodlust, that I was." Kenshin smiled as his usual self again.

"Kenshin!" Hideyoshi smiled.

"Miss Saeko, I will only ask you to leave now and hopefully change your ways." Kenshin said as he turns around.

"Are you fucking kidding me!" Saeko shouted in rage and jumped high into the air.

"If you think I'm just going to let you walk away from this then you're sadly mistaken, now it'll be you who will die!" Saeko proclaimed.

(Music: Kojiro Sasaki Theme, Record of Ragnarok Music)

"If that is how you wish then I'm going to have to disappoint you on that claim as well, that I will." Kenshin said as he sheaths his sword.

"Die, you fool!" Saeko shouted as she starts to unleash her greatest attack.

"Secret Ultimate Technique: Chaos Meteor (Kaosu ryūsei)!" Saeko thrusted her sword at such high speed that it looks like there are more swords coming down at Kenshin.

"Kenshin, look out!" Hideyoshi warned.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to lose." Kenshin promised.

Then Kenshin made his move to unleash one of the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū style.

"Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū: Ryūshōsen (Dragon Soaring Flash)!" Kenshim jumped fast perform a powerful uppercut slash that not only stop the barrage but hit Saeko dead on onto the chin.

Saeko is shown to have her eyes rolled to the back of her head and gasping in pain before going unconscious as she fell on the ground.

(Music End)

"You did it, you beat that scary woman!" Hideyoshi cheered.

"Yes, and it was thanks to your brave words that saved me." Kenshin said making her blush and he got her free.

"Come, let us meet with the Lord and Akechi." Kenshin suggested and look to Saeko for a moment, getting a weird idea on what to do with her.
