Part 158: The Twin Storms Rage!

Eleven o'clock that night--

(All is quiet in the Kamiya household except for the tick of a clock. Kaoru and Yahiko sleep; Kenshin seems to doze sitting up in the dojo.)

(A figure appears at the gate; Kenshin is instantly alert.)

Kenshin (thinking): They're here!

(Kaoru and Yahiko join Kenshin rushing out to the gate.)

Yahiko: Kenshin!

Kaoru: What was that noise?

Kenshin: Sh. (to the man on the other side of the gate.) Stop right there. Back away slowly.

Voice: Please... open the gate... If you don't, the Maekawa dojo will be...

(It's a man from the dojo. Beaten and bloody, he slumps against the fence.)

Yahiko: What happened? Someone challenged the dojo?

Man: No... this man... meant to kill from the start. I ran... the police can't help... If this goes on, he'll kill them all...

Kaoru: Kenshin--

Yahiko: I'm coming too--

Kenshin: Stay here!

(He says it so fiercely that Yahiko is shocked into silence.)

Kenshin: I'll be back by morning! Bar the door and keep watch!

Kaoru: All right. (thinking) First the Akabeko, now the Maekawa dojo... This is no coincidence. Someone is going after us!

(Fists clenched, Yahiko watches Kenshin disappear into the night.)

Kenshin (thinking): The Maekawa dojo! I was only there once, that time with Raijuuta when Miss Kaoru and Yahiko were training. If they struck there, they've been checking up on me more thoroughly than I thought...

Sanosuke: Hey, Kenshin!

(He sees Sanosuke rounding a corner with some policemen.)

Kenshin: You were keeping watch on the Oguni clinic!

Sanosuke: There's no time for that. Injured started coming in from the Maekawa dojo.

Officer: Are you Mr. Himura? We've heard about you from Chief Uramura.
