Damn it. Yuffie had to keep on being so fucking stubborn. Sano understood it on some level, knowing that if the situation were reversed, he'd be the first damn one in there to try and help. The problem was that he tried that shit with Shishio, and not only didn't it work, the only thing he'd managed to do was nearly shatter his right hand.
Not that something like that would stop him even now. But Sanosuke knew his limits, and he knew how good Kenshin and Okita were. That was enough for him to make sure Yuffie didn't stay out of it, because if anyone died, anyone, Kenshin the rurouni would be gone.
Problem was, Ninja Girl was living up to her name, and the hit to Sanosuke's stomach landed true. But it probably didn't give her what she was hoping for. It hurt like hell, and Sanosuke wasn't in the best of shape anyway. But Yuffie wasn't the only one who was stubborn to the point of death, or even beyond. Instead of falling over like he wanted to, Sanosuke used every bit of his will to press down harder on Yuffie's hands, forcing her to support more of his weight to keep her pinned. After that, there was about only one thing left he could do that might work.
Time to see who really had the thicker skull.
"N-Not bad." Sanosuke had to grin a little though. It was fun being able to tumble with someone. If things weren't so god damn serious...oh well. His teeth grit, Sano suddenly thrust his head forward, fully intending to smack his forehead against Yuffie's. Even if it meant he couldn't move, neither would she for a few minutes. It'd give Sano time he needed rather badly at that point.
