And O<strong>is</strong>hi does.<br />
EXT. CASTLE - THE WAR AT THE INNER GATE - CONTINUOUS<br />
<strong>The</strong> ronin struggle to hold back immense waves of warriors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bodies of Kira’s samurai are piling high. Blood churns<br />
the ground to red mud.<br />
Kira’s soldiers work as a unit try to push through en masse,<br />
but Basho uses h<strong>is</strong> inhuman strength to hold them back.<br />
It’s questionable how long they can hold.<br />
INT. CASTLE - STAIRS - CONTINUOUS<br />
Minoru bounds the stairs three at a time. Kira’s samurai pop<br />
from shadows -- and fall to the ground in a various<br />
assortment of bloody, quivering parts.<br />
<strong>Not</strong>hing <strong>is</strong> going to stop him.<br />
MIKA?<br />
HERE!!<br />
MINORU<br />
MIKA (OS)<br />
And like a magnet drawn to true north, he exits the stairs<br />
and reaches the room where Mika <strong>is</strong> held.<br />
Mika?<br />
Minoru!<br />
MINORU<br />
MIKA (OS)<br />
He BASHES the lock, and when he pushes open the door Mika<br />
flies into h<strong>is</strong> arms. She’s been strong and brave for so long<br />
-- a perfect samurai daughter -- but now that Minoru holds<br />
her, the dam breaks and she allows herself to be human, and a<br />
woman, and sobs.<br />
Minoru just holds her. Never going to let go.<br />
CUT TO:<br />
OISHI<br />
moves through the castle on the hunt. Hysteria has set in<br />
and swarms of servants run in every direction -- but like<br />
magic, they all move out of O<strong>is</strong>hi’s way as he strides past.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n, ahead, through the crowd, O<strong>is</strong>hi spots a flash of<br />
pretentious silk.
