(tomoe's picture here)
For whom is that frozen smile... <Pic 1>

Kenshin falls down, blood bursting from his chest. <Pic 2>


Enishi : If I was late for just a moment, we would have struck each 
         other at the same time. It was very close, just as i thought.
         I'm very grateful to you Gein. Having seen the Ogi once 
         really worked well for me.

Gein  : You're welcome. I also felt a great deal of satisfaction.

Sanosuke: Why is his sword (referring to Enishi) faster than Amakakeru
           Ryu no Hirameki?!! Why is it that the vacuum created after 
           the first blow  didn't have any effect on him?!!

Saitoh:     Stupid! It did affect Enishi.  His attacking posture, sinking 
           deep into the ground...
           Using the earth's reaction to one's advantage, and by 
           maintaining that posture, it is possible to sufficiently 
           stand the air shock created by the first blow of Amakakeru
           Ryu no Hirameki.
           And then, using the sucking power of the vacuum, which occurs
           next, it is possible to strike first with a semi-circular
           blow rather than with a full circular blow. 

           Not even the tusk nor the claws of a flying dragon (Ama kakeru
           Ryu) can reach a tiger lying on the ground.

(note)  In other words, Enishi was pushed into the ground in the first 
        blow of Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki, making it difficult for
        Kenshin to reach him, but making it easy for Enishi to strike
        Kenshin.


Saitoh:     You're as good as expected. You really assured yourself of
           that one moment.

Enishi :    But the important thing is not that. What is important is my
           sister smiling at me now.

        Enishi stands tall in front of a kneeling Kenshin.


Enishi :    So how is it Battosai? That wound is similar to my sister's.
           Is it painful? My sister's wound are certainly far more 
           painful than yours!

           If I stop your breathing right now, this will all be for
           nothing. I leave you paralayzed, now I'm ready. It's time
           for the real Jinchu!!

        Gein created a thick smoke, separating Kenshin from the rest.


Sanosuke:   Smoke!!!

Gein:      It's just a smoke screen. Unlike the otowa, this doesn't 
           contain any poisonous stuff. There is nothing to worry
           about.

Enishi :    With this,there will be no interruptions.

Kaoru:    Kenshin!!!
        
        Enishi leaves Kenshin and walks to Kaoru's direction.


Enishi :  In the end, death is just one moment of pain. Such a trivial
          thing will never take away my sister's resentment nor my hatred.
          You took my sister's fiance away from her. You took my sister
          away from me. Now it is my turn. 
          I'll take the most important person away from you!!!
         I'll send you down to living hell!!!
          

      This is the finality of Enishi Yukishiro's revenge: The Real
      Jinchu!


Megumi : He's coming here!

Saitoh:   You don't have to say it.

Enishi :  You're standing in my way. All of you, except Kamiya Kaoru, 
         step aside!

Kenshin:  Wait...

Enishi :  Oh, you can still stand huh?  Just stay still. Your death is 
          my long-awaited Jinchu but...

         Before Enishi could finish his sentence, Kenshin punches him right
         to his face. Enishi falls down, without his eye glasses. <Pic 3>


Kenshin: (shouting) I won't let you do that! 
         Even if Tomoe's soul smiles at you right now, I absolutely 
         won't let you that. <Pic 4>
