Splendid swordsmanship. He killed you.

Are you so fond of that woman?

Episode 3 Forbidden Love.

Hey, guy, why don't you do me instead?

You're such a cold fish.

I hate... being ignored by a man!

Why did you do that?

Sorry. I should thank you.

- Is it you, Kitsunebi? - Yes, sir.

Any word of Hiruko's news?

Their ninjas are active, trying to protect the Light Maiden from us.

Protect? Heh.

They want the power of the Light for their own good.

Kimon and Hiruko...

Which one of us will capture the Light Maiden?

The time has come to vanquish Hiruko.

Hey, old geezer!

It's Dakuan, not old geezer!

All right, well, then, geezer Dakuan.

You're sure this Jubei guy is at the inn on the other side of this mountain?

According to the information I've gathered, but he seems to be a fickle sort,

so he may disappear again.

You want a guy like that to be a bodyguard?

By the way, perhaps you know the man named Jubei Kibagami?

No, I do not know such a man.

Jubei this, Jubei that.

What's the matter?

Light Maiden, come with us.

Behind you!

Go now!

Go after them, Jyashi!

Back, just as I thought.

I will not let you Kimons have the Light Maiden.

Is that the only trick you know?

He found us!

Worked out pretty good.

- Bastard! - Could it be?

What, this again?

I guess everyone's ganging up to stop me from sleeping.

- You! - JubeL You are Jubei Kibagami.

That's right. I've been looking for you.

Are you one of them?

No, I'm not. I want to hire you.

Hire me?

No, it's okay.

Looks like we've got company.

Huh?

I-It's him!

Light Maiden, this time you will come with me.

No, I won't.

I am not the so-called Light Maiden.

You better be a little nicer or you won't get any girls.

You take care of him!

What?

I won't let you get away!

Don't be too persistent. People don't like that.

Ouch.

You!

Quit staring. I'm not like that.

How convenient. I will take your Sacred Stone.

You, too?

Every single creature who sees this Stone goes berserk over it.

Sacred Stone?

How impudent!

C-Crap!

Damn you.

Disgusting.

Get lost. Quit scurrying around and get out of here.

Don't be so cold. Help me.

I know how well you use your sword.

It's a pity to kill such a fine swordsman, but I have no choice.

What's going on?

I don't know what's going on but you'll need to die again!

An impressive blow.

Dakuan, do you know something of this?

Who are those people who call me Light Maiden?

Why am I being chased?

This way, Shigure!

An illusion technique, perhaps.

Are you okay, Jubei?

Hey! Don't die!

Meanwhile, where's the Sacred Stone?

When you witness our ninja technique, it's time for you to die!

You're alive! I'm so glad!

Shut up! You were trying to steal from me.

See ya! Go make friends with that guy over there.

What? Hey, wait! Help me!

Who cares?! I don't owe you anything.

You selfish jerk!

Heh, you do well by yourself.

Relentless, isn't he?

What is that smoke?

There's no time to wonder!

Here he comes!

Do something, you trouble magnet!

Sure, I'll do something.

What?

What do you get from killing me?

See ya!

I won't let you get away.

Am I saved?

Yeah, sort of.

This happens to be one of my specialties.

This is your speciality?!

See? It sort of worked out.

For a trouble magnet, you sure got lucky.

And what are you going to do now?

I'm going to look for Shigure.

Then what?

Nothing.

I'm just going to hand this over.

Are you sure that's it?

Yep.

Shigure is my meal ticket.

I ain't sharing anything with you.

Do what you like.

We're going! I don't fancy that man.

Me neither!

Shigure. Are you all right?

Shigure?

Oh, you're fine.

What's this?

Oh, perhaps I used a little too much gunpowder.

Come on, hang onto my shoulder.

Over there.

You! You're still alive!

Jubefl.

Jubei, you're alive!

What now?

Now you're being chased by that lovely lady.

Stay out of this, Rengoku!

I'll get him!

Hey, what are you doing?

We've got to get away while we can!

You stay out of this!

You go after the Light Maiden.

I'll leave the rest to you, Jubei!

How could they?

Go, quickly!

Rengoku! I'll kill you if you can't leave us alone.

This time, you're a dead man.

This time, you're showing up yourself, huh?

That was quite a magic trick, but use it more than once,

and you'll give away the secret!

I wonder if Jubei was killed this time.

JubeL.

Jvashu.

You'll be okay, Jyashi. I will fix your body, don't worry.

I will...

It's all right, older sister.

Jyashi... Jyashi!

Damn you. You took away my brother.

Someday, I will kill you!

Jubei! You're alive!

I'm so glad! I was worried!

Please take this.

What is this?

Something I don't need.

I can't take this.

There was a dying man whose last wish was to have this delivered to you.

It's yours now.

From now on, ask Grandpa to take care of you.

Wait! Jubei!

Don't be so smug!

Are you running away?

Jubefl.

Next Episode.

Shigure doesn't want the Stone.

Yet the Hiruko and Kimon both do.

And then there's Jubei, Dakuan, and Tsubute...

Though their ambitions bring them together,

the Dragon Stone will bring about their end.

Next time on Ninja Scroll: Broken Stone.

Witness.
