10

As Rin makes her way to Kaga, living off the land. Meanwhile, Manji encounters a man who offers to help him obtain a pass and at the same time comes across Magatsu. Shira returns to Hyakurin and Shinriji, saying that he is looking for Giichi, but soon leaves. Immediately, they are attacked by Kinuka and the Ittou-ryuu who were led there by Shira. They capture Hyakurin and kill Shinriji when he comes to her aid. Later, they savagely beat, torture and rape Hyakurin, seeking information about the mugai-ryuu. Giichi finds Shinriji dead and follows their trail. After dispatching Kinuka's men, Giichi catches Kinuka outside his headquarters and they engage in a vicious fight which leaves Kinuka dead. The swordsman guarding her runs outside and threatens to kill Hyakurin before Giichi can stop him. However, Hyakurin managed to remove a blade from her shoe and free herself, and she staggers outside and cuts him to pieces. Giichi reports the incident to his superiors, and cares for Hyakurin who dreams about her tragic past as she sleeps for three days. Later, she cuts her hair short and places the tied locks on Shinriji's grave. (Source: Wikipedia)
