Chapter 204: In dull darkness
(The smoke blows forward, obscuring Kenshin and Enishi from view.)
Kaoru: Kenshin! Kenshin!
Megumi: Idiot! Get out of here!
Sanosuke: We'll take care of Kenshin! Megumi, take the girl and run!
(Enishi picks himself up, spitting out blood.)
Enishi: "I won't allow this" ... Good. The more you burn to protect her, the greater the shock when she's gone--
(Kenshin punches him in the stomach. Another blow to the chin sends him flying against a wall.)
Enishi (thinking): Where is he getting this strength...
Kenshin: Enishi ... I will stop you here. I won't let you lay a finger on Miss Kaoru!
Enishi: You fool ... I'll show you my Earthly Justice!
Kaoru: Kenshin!
Megumi: Hurry! This is no time to mess around!
Kaoru: But, Kenshin's--
(Megumi slaps her.)
Megumi: Pull yourself together! You said it yourself! If you died, Kenshin would blame himself and suffer, so you're not going to die! Now it's time to come through on that!
Sanosuke: Let's go, Saitou! We gotta help Kenshin! Let's smash those glasses through his face!
Saitou: I thought we weren't supposed to interfere with a private fight.
Sanosuke: Bastard! He broke it first. You can do whatever you want to a mad dog!
Saitou: I give up ... Everyone's so selfish. But that's fine. It'd be disappointing if that stripling took the best prey. I'll lend a hand, for now.
(Sword drawn, Kenshin smashes Enishi across the ribs.)
Enishi (thinking): He's lost a lot of blood. He shouldn't be able to move. He was hit with the Kofuku Zettousei after the Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki was broken--he should be shattered body and soul.
