However, one thing changed.
Heiji was a threat.
As the branch swung up at his back, he pivoted quickly and swung down hard. With a dull crack, he felt the branch connect solidly against the side of Heiji's head. The detective's own blade was only a hair's breadth away from hitting Okita's back, but now that didn't matter so much as the sound of the branch connecting with the boy's head.

He hoped he hadn't hurt him.
