This week continues the happy end of the last episode with a good 'ol fashioned kidnapping. Huzzah!

The note. Along with one of Rin's "Hair Thingies".

Rin is carried to a shack somewhere and dropped on the ground...

...and Magatsu is there. Uh oh.

She tells him that he has joined his Itto-ryu brothers on their mission to kill the man who has descimated so many of their number. It seems kinda weird, but after all he DID tell Manji that "If it came down between you and Itto-ryu, I'd choose Itto-ryu. Remember that".

Everone goes around and introduces themselves. With Magatsu are two of the men who managed to escape from the Dinner of Death with Giichi and Kagimura.

The hairy guy pulls out a vial. Rin's eyes go wide. Yep.

"One of our members that you killed was carrying this. It's some sort of poison. It's called "Kessensatsu" ("Blood-killer")

Yeah, uh huh.

Oh Sh*t

Is what Rin, and the rest of us, are thinking at this point.
