Rurouni Kenshin Act 225: At That Time, A Gust of Wind

Tsubame makes her way home after seeing Kenshin at Rakuninmura.

She trips and falls on her face. Though it must hurt to have fallen, she is shedding tears for a different reason.

Tsubame: *tearful* Yahiko... kun... Kenshin-sa... n...

Side Text: What Tsubame's tears have swayed is... !!

On her knees, Tsubame suddenly notices something that stops her tears. A gust of wind is blasting through the alley she is in. She turns, and what she sees brings a smile back to her lips...

Act 225: At That Time, A Gust of Wind

Kenshin's sakabatou gleams in the light...

Side Text: This sword knew... all the answers!!

Back in Rakuninmura, Kuma has gone and gotten a bottle of wine and is pouring some out for Oibore.

Kuma: Hey. Hold on to this. Don't spill it.

Oibore: Hoho. Thank you. Thank you. Right. I must thank Kuma-san for something.

Kuma: *looking up from his cup of wine* Ah?

Oibore: *sipping wine* Thanks for bringing that little girl in here. I never knew that Kuma-san had a thing for little girls---

Kuma practically spurts all the wine he was drinking back out again. ^_^;

Oibore: *surprised* What, am I wrong?

Kuma: *angry* OF COURSE!!

Kuma leans back. Smoke drifts from the cigarette held between his lips.

Kuma: It's just because my daughter whom my wife took away with her is just about that age. I just wanted to try being a 'nice guy' on a whim...

Oibore smiles and says nothing.

Kuma: And you're no one to talk about what anyone has a thing for.

Kuma reaches over and takes Oibore's straw hat off of his head.

Oibore: Ho?

Kuma: Whether it's the fragrance of white plum blossoms , or this hair pin, I still feel kind of sick to see an old guy interested in ladies' things.

Under the straw hat, Oibore's hair is done up in a bun, with a woman's hair pin stuck into it.

Oibore reaches up and takes the hair pin out. He gazes at it for a moment before speaking once more. He smiles, after having perhaps regained his composure. [Miko: hinthint, you've seen this hair pin somewhere before as a reader. ^_-]

Oibore: *smiling* Hoho, this---...

He leaves the cup next the the wine bottle and gets up.

Oibore: Thanks for the wine. Well, it's about time for me to go.

Kuma: *surprised* Hey. Go, go where?

Oibore: *smiles and picks up his hat* Kyoto. It's been a while, and I miss my daughter.

Kuma: *smiles wryly* What? So Oibore has a home to go back to.

Oibore smiles. The birds dance and chirp around him.

Oibore: No, I'm visiting her grave.

Kuma is dumbstruck. He stares at the hair pin.

Kuma: Can it be that that hair pin, it's a keepsake from your daught---

Oibore just smiles.

Kuma: ...No, nothing. So when are you coming back?

Oibore: Well now. I guess I will be staying over there for a while. There must be a dump like this in any big town, so I'll be taken care of.

Kuma: Is that so. Well, you're a guy who treats everyone with equal kindness, so you're be able to manage anywhere you go.

Oibore: Hoho. Well, I was never good at being a scholar or a warrior, so that is my only redeeming merit.

Kuma takes another sip of his wine as Oibore puts his hat back on.

Kuma: You were really kind even to that samurai.

Oibore: It's because he is a special case. (Because he is my daughter's husband who was at her deathbed---...)

Kuma: That samurai... I wonder if he will make it in time...

Oibore: *smiling* It'll be all right. No need to worry!

Outside of town...

Yahiko: OOOOOO!!

Though covered in blood and wounds, Yahiko, his eyes fierce with determination, manages to push himself up under Kujiranami's hand and start to stand up.

All the policemen are shocked as they look on.

Yahiko: OOO!!!

Finally, he manages to throw off Kujiranami's hand!

Happy and anxious, Shinichi starts to go towards Yahiko...

Shinichi: Young man!

... but falls on his face.

Police A: Hey. Think of your own wounds too!

Yahiko is panting heavily from exertion and all of his wounds... It seems like the simple act of holding his shinai is a burden, but his eyes are burning with the strength of his will. He grits his teeth, not about to give up.

Yahiko: *panting* Haa! Haa!

Seeing this, Shinichi is terrified.

Shinichi: ! (It's no use.... He is not in a state to fight any more than he already has...)

Kujiranami: BATTOUSAIII!!!

Kujiranami brings his cannon arm around again and slashes Yahiko hard across his chest with the blade that is attached to it. Blood spurts from the wound, but it makes no difference to the look in Yahiko's eyes.

Policemen: AAH!!

The policemen scream as they see Kujiranami pick Yahiko up by the head, dangling him in the air and bringing his cannon up....

Kujiranami:*crazed* BATTOUSAI!!!

Police A: Can it be! Is he going to just shoot like that!?

Shinichi is as shocked as the rest, but he is stunned when he realizes that Yahiko is still gripping his shinai with his right hand... and slowly, he brings it up and holds it with both of his hands, panting, ready to take on the giant once more... Though he may be bloodied with wounds, his eyes are still sharp, focused, and determined.

Shinichi: *tears in his eyes* ! That's enough!!

Kujiranami brings his cannon up, ready to fire.

Kujiranami: BATTOUSAI!!!!

Shinichi: (That's enough, stop it!) (This young man will grow up! He will grow up, and in the future, he will be of help to many people! No one who calls himself a man should allow him to die here in vain!! Somebody, anybody, stop this guy SOMEBODY!!)

As if an answer to his prayers, the giant is suddenly blown back, hit in nine spots on his body...!!

The characters/kanji: 'One' 'Two' 'Three' 'Four' 'Five' 'Six' 'Seven' 'Eight' 'Nine'

Yahiko is thrown back the other direction as Kujiranami lets go of him...

The carriage arrives. Saitou walks over leisurely, while Aoshi is running with his kodachi drawn.

Aoshi: *surprised* !

Megumi and Misao also arrive on the scene.

Megumi and Misao: *shocked* !

Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu Kuzu Ryuu Sen!!

[Kuzu: Nine-headed; Ryuu: Dragon; Sen: Flash]

Someone stands on the other side of the fallen Kujiranami...

The policemen stare.

Policemen: ...............?

Shinichi: ...... Who is this...?

On the other hand, for those who know him...

Misao: *joyous* Himura......

Megumi: *tears of happiness* Ken-san.....

Saitou: *cynical, knowing smile* Battousai.

Aoshi: *expressionless* No.

Yahiko: *smiling* Kenshin......

Himura Kenshin COMES BACK TO LIFE!!!

Standing with his sakabatou drawn, an expression of grim determination on his face, is Kenshin!

*End Act*
