Part 207: A Dark Change & a Death
Enishi: Though I bear you no ill-will, for the sake of my Earthly Justice I must take you victim here.
(Kaoru assumes a fighting stance.)
Enishi: You can try to string this out, but Battousai isn't coming. When he tried to fight, the outcome was clear. If you come quietly this will all be over soon.
Kaoru: I know I can't beat you, but I'm not going to just roll over and die. Kenshin told me that no matter how hard, he'd fight to the end to protect the present. So he'll be here as soon as he can, like always. As long as Kenshin won't give up, I can't either!
Enishi: I see. But it won't matter.
(He suddenly seems to disappear in the smoke.)
Enishi (behind her): This may be rough, but bear with me.
(He clamps a hand over her mouth.)
Kaoru (thinking): Ken--
Enishi: Give up.
Kaoru (thinking, the sword dropping from her hand): --shin...
(Kujiranami has Kenshin in his grip, smashing him against a wall.)
Kujiranami: Battousai--!
(Kenshin roars and forces his fingers apart. Kujiranami pulls back a fist for another blow.)
Sanosuke: Hold it!
(He punches him; Saitou hits Kujiranami with the Gatotsu. Under their combined assault Kujiranami goes down.)
Sanosuke: Kenshin, the white-hair's--
(Kenshin takes off running.)
Sanosuke: Hey!
(Kujiranami rises behind Saitou.)
Saitou: I see... So his spirit is greater than his body as well.
