Chapter 222: "Yahiko's True Fight (Part 4)"  Logically, this should be the title I hope!!!

Thanks to "Chef" at  francis@cyou.com for this translation!

We cut in on Saitou and Aoshi having slaughtered  some of (presumably) Enishi's goons.
A buncha cops comment on how surprised they are at their strength ...

Miscellaneous Cop 1: Wow...just the two of them.....

Misc Cop 2: There was 50 right?

Misc Cop 3 makes some kind of comment ..

Saitou reads some papers, and points out how its on a small island.  "Just
as we thought, he's at sea."

Aoshi says "So that's where Yukishiro Enishi and Kamiya Kaoru are at...let's
go."

But then yet another cop bursts in and informs them that Kujiranami's gotten free.  "There's
a carriage outside, please return to town immediately!"

Saitou: Yare yare...

Anyway cut to scene with Megumi and the Dr. Genzai lookalike patching up the
injured cops.  Misao shows up and comments how that she shows up to kill
some time and finds the place a mess.  Megumi tells her than there's an
escaped prisoner  and tells Misao to help.  Misao tries to ditch this by
offerring to hunt down the escapee and take him down.  Megumi says "If
you're not going to help then leave".  The Dr. G lookalike shows up and
informs Megumi that there's not going to be that many more patients, but
"The only odd thing was that apparently theres a boy with a shinai in the
fighting."  Megumi and Misao realizes  it can only be our spikey haired
hero, and head out to help him.

The cops are commenting on how Yahiko must be nuts, and Yahiko realizes he
has only once chance.  He remembers how he has to look ahead, and one day
catch up with that familiar backside that was always above him (Kenshin of
course).  He gets all pumped and Yahiko's ken-ki snaps a leaf (shades of
Kenshin's fight with shishio).   Shinichi (the young cop whos been Yahiko's
sidekick for most of the fight, not really sure if thats his name) sees the
leaf snap and is all shocked.  "Ken-ki?!"

"LETS GO!" Yahiko yells, and they dash at each other.  "KAMIYA KASSHIN RYU
OUGI NO MAMORI--HADOME!"  he intends to catch the blade on the end of
Kujiranami's machine gun.  The cops comment on how this is insane.  He
manages to stop it (although theres signifigant blood lost"), goes nuts,
screams, and attacks him with "OUGI NO SEME--HAWATARI!"  He gets through
Kujiranami's guard and hits him in the armpits, and remembers what Kenshin
said during HIS fight with Kujiranami (which was "The armpitts are one of
the vital spots on a human  body. The attack he took thrusted his ribs right up into his lungs. Though
he's still conscience, his breathing is inadequate and he isn't barely able
to move a finger...".  Unfortunately Kujiranami remembers this little
kodak moment too and goes "BATTOUSAI"  and smashes Yahiko with his palm.

Cut to Tsubame at the entrance to Rakuninmura.  The riffraff threathen her
and she thinks "Kenshin-san...Kenshin-san....!"
