* Volume three: The reason to act *
* Chapter twenty-one: Wind of rage *
(a majestically looking mansion)
Kenshin: Wouldst this be Takeda Kanryuu's living quarters!
Sano: Yes!
Kenshin: However much stares, it hast the detestfully slugged air.
Sano: Then we see, how must he that fellow be done with?
Kenshin: With little we and plenty he, a decisive stratgy lies in speedy
duels speedy finishes. After the door be pregnated, we go, and take down
the air in one speedy breath towards the main door for the sudden attack.
(two men lying on the floor)
The door's two guards has unfortunately been K.Oed.
Sano: That would mean the head-on meeting wouldst it not! Good!
Yahiko: Sanosuke!
(Sano stares at him)
Yahiko: You must not lose to me, hear ye not!
Yahiko and Sano: (as they fight it out among themselves) ...
Kenshin: GO!
(inside the gates, a cross is made)
Man: What is't?
(the iron door breaks apart and Kenshin, Sano and Yahiko bursts in)
Guards: ?!?
Kanryuu: Thou hath returned, Megumi. I knew the prescence possible, because
without the place there can be no other containable for you. The 'Spider's
Web' hath exhausted it's stock, do replace it with fresh products!
Megumi: ...
Kanryuu: (walking towards her) Aye, thou really seeks troubles more,
wherefore the permanent desire of protest?
(holds her chin)
Kanryuu: The word of adorable, hath formed mine mind on your thought always.
Megumi: The word of adorable applies merely to the money you gather from the
opium I manufacture!
Kanryuu: Thou mayst say what you say, for as the money mayst be adorable, so
thou art not far off!
Megumi: Wouldst it be so? But regretfully my return differs much from the
opium purpose.
Kanryuu: Pardon?
(she takes out a short sword)
Megumi: My return - comes to seek Takeda Kanryuu's death!
(she stabs. Kanryuu staggers behind a cut on his left arm)
Kanryuu: WAaaah!
Megumi: Do not be afeared, you and I live and die as one, therefore after
your death comes my turn. I hath made mineself with utmost clarity, should I
do the sin further, would I have not better be done with myself. To live on
shall see myself piling the accounts of sins. Then let us go down to Sheol
in a combination! Although to they who suffer marked bitterness because of
the opium it wouldst never be enough...
Kanryuu: ...
(she starts to bring the knife down)
Kanryuu: Waa aa a a a aa a ah!
(blood spurts out)
Kanryuu and Megumi: !?
Megumi: Where is my knife?
Aoshi: Stoping the silliness begins now.
Megumi: !!
Kanryuu: (breathing heavily) You... you... you insignificant woman! (he
flies her a punch) Because the heavy measures of last time on that stubborn
doctor saw failure, I came before you with the soft ones! (he steps
continuously on her) Do not look down on me Takeda Kanryuu! You who do not
perceive what is good!
(he lifts her up, one final punch and Megumi falls to the ground)
Kanryuu: Go hence for the private army and grill her with beatings until the
formula evolves!
Aoshi: Besides the few who look after men the rest hast been installed
outside.
Kanryuu: Pardon?
Aoshi: Do perk thy ears!
Kanryuu: What -! That... wouldst be the emergency police whistle... !
Aoshi: That man, hath arrived!
Guards: WAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAA AA A AAAA AHHHH!
(Kenshin moves through them in a flash)
Guards: He... He moves fast... ! He... he... be a human?
(noise behind)
Sano: Hi! Everybody - ! Do not stand and watch ... ! (he whams through all
the remaining few) Or the injuries be how I do not guarantee!
Yahiko: Sanosuke! Do not you dare lose to me!
Sano: Still on it, are you not, little fellow. Really how stubborn can one
get.
(Kenshin and Sano proceed through the throng of people)
Guards: Too... too stong... these two persons are truly too strong!
Yahiko: That would be THREE! BAKA!
Sano: *The gangsters and kenkakus hast more or less diminished - * (he snaps
as he notices)
A gun.
Leader: Shooting team prepare for shootout - !
(he looks at something)
Leader: Shoot...
(Kenshin's eyes narrows)
Gunmen: Ah! Wah! Aiiiii! Woah ho!
Leader: Cursed him! In front of the mass of guns he doth not show signs of
anything but speedening up... !
(Kenshin slides to a stop in front of the front door)
Leader: ! Quickly! While he rests! ATTACK!
Kenshin: Sanosuke! Yahiko!
Sano: ! Arise! Yahiko!
(Yahiko jumps)
Sano: 'Tis the time for thy glory!
(he flings Yahiko in the gunsmen's direction)
Sano: Go henceforth and display thy knows!
Yahiko: !!!
Gunsmen: What! Wah ah! Woah ho!
Leader: Thou little... ghost... oro?
(his gun is not there anymore)
Leader: PARDON!
Yahiko: (with the gun) Searching for this? Never the thought professes, that
the picking skills I acquired couldst be handy in a situation of such, how
more miraculous could one's life last!
Leader: Wah wah wah wah wah!
Yahiko: PANG!!
(the leader foams in the mouth)
Yahiko: Stupid! I myself did not even touch the trigger. A kenkaku I am! And
to touch a plaything of such wouldst not be me!
Gunmen: Little fellow! Do not think of no one else!
(Kenshin and Sano jumps)
Gunmen: !
(they get hit. The smoke clears)
Kenshin: Thou art fine art thou? Yahiko.
Sano: The main lead comes out next.
Yahiko: I myself am fine like no one else! Request mine abscence and I would
not budge.
Kenshin: ... Excellent! 'Tis this kind of backbone courage wanted.
Sano: Do not you dare lose to me! Yahiko!
Yahiko: Cut the uneccessary! And what wouldst I be to you then! For flinging
me all around in the air!
Sano: A chance for action I marked for you, be thankful instead of so
spiteful.
Kanryuu: (watching from the window) I do not understand. What is't? What
is't which propels Himura Battousai to...
Aoshi: Thou might as well inquire as to why, because of this woman, what
would he gain out of all this matters! If Himura Battousai moved merely for
gains and losses, then a high and important role in the armies he wouldst
have acquired.
Kanryuu: !
Aoshi: For you who professes a profession of business, the difficulties
indeed mount in understanding, that even if the Ishinshishis and we have
differing viewpoints, they wouldst be too a troop of gentlemen who art more
than willing to sacrifice one's life for ideals!
(Kanryuu stares)
Aoshi: Entrance into Meiji saw much tainted with the pollution of vices.
Rather he stood firmly onto a viewpoint of his own.
(Megumi lying on the floor)
Aoshi: Ten years of such a great man's abscence, yet come because of
attraction for this kind of assertions. And that man wouldst be... the prey
of the Edo's Oniwabanshuu!
