Chapter 18: Kenshin's Company Charges
Megumi: His... his sword kept off the flame. (thinking) He's no mere swordsman. What is he...
Hyottoko (snatching the barrel strapped to his back): I'm not through with you yet!
Kaoru: He's trying to refill the oil!
(Kenshin moves to stop him, but Sanosuke stands between them.)
Sanosuke: Thanks for the help, but this guy's mine. Sorry, but I'm starting over from the beginning!
Kenshin (lowering his sword): I understand. You can take it from here.
Sanosuke: Leave it to me!
Kaoru: Will you stop the stupid macho act? Sanosuke, your leg's hurt!
(The barrel smashes against the wall.)
Hyottoko (wiping his mouth): Refill complete. You fool. You came back just to get burned.
Sanosuke: You're the fool. You think that trick'll work twice?
Hyottoko: You too think my technique is a mere sideshow trick? (breathing fire) I'll cremate you!
Beshimi: A giant Kaentoiki! This time there's no escape!
Sanosuke: Yeah right!
(He dives straight into the flame.)
Kenshin: A good move. He'll be hurt less if he heads straight for the sac rather than trying to dodge.
(Sanosuke punches Hyottoko's open mouth, seizing the tube and pulling.)
Sanosuke: I'll take this! (holding up the bag) This trick you're so proud of is filth. You've got no chance left. Give it up.
Hyottoko (charging for another punch): You're the one without a chance! With burns on both arms you can't--
(Sanosuke lands a kick to the face, bowling him over.)
Sanosuke: You can kick in a fight too. With such short legs you didn't think of it. (thumbs up) Easy win!
Kenshin (smiling): Considering you're covered from head to foot with burns--
(Sanosuke turns on him, scowling)
Kaoru: They won... no matter what you say, they're strong...
Megumi: They're more than just strong... Who on earth are they...
Kaoru: I told you. You don't know them. Those two are people friends can count on and be proud of.
