I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.


Kenshii is making rice balls with Dr. gensai's granddaughters.

Then Yahiko shows up.

Kenshii I thought I came here to get stronger? Asks Yahiko.

I don't want to learn this sword that protects people's stuff said Yahiko.

I want to learn your technique so I can defeat enemies said Yahiko.

I don't intend to pass along my techniques to future generations. I'm afraid said Kenshii.

But why? Asks Yahiko.

Your sensei is Kaoru, Yahiko said Kenshii.

But wait said Yahiko.


Scene change

Kenshii is in the kitchen.

Hey you, that's Kaoru's lunch you have there said Kenshii.

Now give it back said Kenshii.

Kenshii you better confess the truth right now said Kaoru,

Where's Kenshi? Asks Kaoru.

She just went to buy some tofu said Dr. Gensai.

She's planning a feast for tonight and she said she'll make enough food for my family as well said Dr. Gensai.

Oh okay said Kaoru.

What? What do you want? Asks Dr. Gensai.


Scene change

Man 1: bring in charge of this school immediately.

It's rude to ask others for favors before introducing yourself first said Dr. Gensai

Man 1: you insubordinate

What can I do for you? Asks Kaoru.

I'm the assistant master here said Kaoru.

Is there something wrong you're being off rude said Kaoru?

We're from the police department said man #1,

Yeah, I sort of figured that out just by looking at the uniforms said Kaoru.

Men: chief.

We're looking for Kenshi Himura said the chief.

We believe the Battousai is here said the chief.

Huh?! Said Kaoru.

Battousai? Do they mean Battousai the manslayer? Kenshi? Thought Yahiko.

Parties arrested in the Battousai incident confessed they had seen the manslayer here said the chief.

And they believe she was hiding out in this school said the chief.

If you are concealing her from us that is a crime against the government said the chief.

Kenshi?! Said Kaoru.

Tell me what exactly is Kenshi wanted for? Asks Kaoru.

I'm afraid I must inform you it is top-secret government information young man said the chief.

We will perform an investigation said the chief.

Hey said Kaoru.

Would like to be punished by death next to Battousai said officer #1.

Yahiko go find Kenshi and tell her the police are looking for her said Kaoru.

But Kaoru said Yahiko.

Hurry said Koaru.

Okay said Yahiko.

The two policemen chase after him.

Kenshi thought Kaoru.

Finally thought Man #1.

I've finally found you thought Man #1.

We'll see each other soon Battousai the manslayer thought Man #1.


Scene change

Little girl 1: hurry hurry.

Little girl 2: yeah hurry up.

If we step too quickly the tofu will fall apart said Kenshi.

hey look she's wearing a sword said a buck-toothed officer.

Officer 2: you have some nerve, Lady.

Officer 2: you're carrying a sword which is a direct violation of anti sword code.

0fficer: 1 and in front of Police swordsman no less.

Officer 1: how about a match.

Officer 1: we'll let you go should you happen to win.

There are children here, so I would rather not said Kenshi.

Besides it's a reverse blade sword said Kenshi.

Officer 1: reverse blade sword?

Officer 2: you couldn't slay a mouse with that dumb thing.

Officer 1: you weakling.

Officer 1: don't waste our time.

Girl 1: i'm scared.

Girl 2: i'm scared.

It's alright said Kenshi.

Girl 1: those guys were bad. You're supposed to apologize when you knock something over or break something.

Girl 2: yeah you have to apologize.

That's a true statement girls said Kenshi.

Officer 1: clear the way for the police swordsman.

They are the police swordsmen, said Kenshi.


Scene change

Kenshi arrives to see a crowd and see Yahiko and the other tied up.

Hey hold on second said Kenshi

Kenshi said Yahiko.

She walks forward.

No Kenshi run away a lot of people are looking for you right now said Yahiko.

Lead officer: what do you want?.

Lead officer: name yourself.

Kenshi Himura said Kenshi.

Lead officer: hmm.

All of the people you have tied up here. if they have truly committed any crime I will personally repent for each of them said Kenshi.

Lead officer: oh so you disapprove of our methods do you?.

Lead officer: to carry a sword in broad daylight in pre-fracture one must be pretty sure of her swordsmanship.

Bucktoothed officer: this girl's just a lump of jelly.

Lead officer: huh yeah?

Lead officer: I smell blood on her.

He draws his sword and points it at her face.


Scene change

Officer: captain I found her.

Officer: red hair with a cross scar on her cheek.

Officer: someone who looks like the Battousai is fighting the police swordsman in town.

Then Kaoru fights the police and runs off.


Scene change

Lead officer: go ahead and draw your sword.

I decline said Kenshi.

Lead officer: hmph begin to execute them.

Bucktoothed officer: right.

Man 1: it's unfair.

Man 2: we won't stand here quietly.

Man 3: even if you are the police what you're doing isn't right.

Lead officer: ha I must admit it takes a whole lot of guts to indult a police swordsman like that.

Lead officer: you are sighted with opposition to the government. you're all hereby under arrest.

Lead officer: prepare your weapons.

Lead officer: you brought this upon yourselves.

Lead officer: kill them.

Kenshi draws her sword.

You will not touch these innocent people with even one inch of your dirty blade said Kenshi.

If you require an opponent I will fight you said Kenshi.

If you wanna taste the ground, feel free to attack me said Kenshi.

Lead officer: uh-huh.

Lead officer: self-defense has been established.

Lead officer: kill her.

Kenshi defeats all the officers with only the lead officer remaining.

It's just you and me now said Kenshi.

First of all, I want you to swear an oath that you never assault innocent townspeople again as long as you live said Kenshi.

Then if you wish you may arrest me on grounds of carrying a sword in public or assaulting an officer of the law said Kenshi.

Lead officer: are you crazy.

Lead officer: i'll never make such an oath.

Hey it's her it's Battousai the manslayer said the officer.

Kenshi beats the lead officer.

The townspeople praise Kenshi.

Kenshi you've gotta run the police are after you said Kaoru.

Hurry the cops are right over there, you gotta get out of here said Yahiko.

Officer: now we've got you. You are a fugitive from the government and wanted by the police.

Officer: arrest this woman.

Officer #2: yes sir.

Officer #3: right.

Man: hold it.

Officer: your excellency.

Man: judging by the crowd's reaction it is obvious who is serving justice here.

Man: release them at once.

Man: see to it that those men are severely punished for their transgressions.

Officers: yes sir.

Man: Himura we finally meet again. I've been searching for you for ten years now.

That's a fine mustache you've grown Yamagata said Kenshi.

Officer: you will pay your respects, do you realize to whom you are speaking?.

Do you still not understand yells, Yamagata.

You stand before a full-fledged hero, who saved the lives of many imperialism with her sword said, Yamagata.

You will behave accordingly said, Yamagata.

Yamagata? Aritomo Yamagata? Said Kaoru.

What is it? I mean is this supposed to be important or something like that? Asks Yahiko.

Don't you know anything? Asks Kaoru.

Aritomo Yamagata is Lord of the Meiji Imperial army. He's one of the most important leaders in Japan right now said Kaoru.

Oh said Yahiko.

There is a carriage waiting for us over there, I have something I must speak to you about said Yamagata.

Can't we disguise it right here? Said Kenshi.

That's just like you said, Yamagata.

Himura it's true that without you the revolution would've most likely never have happened said, Yamagata.

I would like to welcome you as a key officer in the imperial army as one who helped create this new era said, Yamagata.

Your comrades from the revolution have been waiting impatiently for your return said, Yamagata.

There is one important piece missing that would give our country power… you said, Yamagata.

Unfortunately, I have no desire to be assigned a key position in the government as a reward for manslaughter said Kenshi.

I see said, Yamagata.

So it's true your disappearance was an act of defiance to detract you were determined to never kill again said, Yamagata.

You may regret you had to take people's lives but that was one noble aspect of the revolution said, Yamagata.

If they won't acknowledge that i'll use my authority said, Yamagata.

To force them to accept it said Kenshi.

That is the very train of thought that creates corrupt men like them said Kenshi.

We once fought together for an ideal with our swords. It wasn't for power or for glory but to create a peaceful where people could live without fear said Kenshi.

And if you should forget about that then what did we fight the revolution for? Said Kenshi.

Himura the times have changed it is the Meiji era now because of the anti-sword law the Samurai are gone. You must realize that one woman with one sword cannot hope to make a difference in the new world said, Yamagata.

Even if it's only the handful of people I happen to meet on the street or in my home, I can still protect them with one sword said Kenshi.

I won't give up Himura thought Yamagata.


Scene change

A sword to protect said Yahiko.

Hey, what's the matter with Yahiko? Asks Kaoru.

Kenshi said Yahiko.

What your going to begin learning now is not the sword of a manslayer but a sword that protects other people said Kenshi.

Become stronger using the Kashin style said Kenshi.

To protect other people said Yahiko.

Mmhmm said Kenshi.

Aw, what the heck I guess i'll let Kaoru be my sensei said Yahiko.

Oh yeah? What are you talking about? Asks Kaoru.

You've been my student since the beginning of all this said Kaoru.

Don't treat me like a kid said Yahiko.

Stop said Yahiko.

You are a kid said Kaoru.

They fight as Kenshi looks on.
