Yakumo! Yakumo: I don't know! Don't just stand there, we've got to catch them! If we don't, God only knows what's going to happen! I need your help, Takuhi! (to himself) Shit! He did something to Natsuko. Yakumo frees Takuhi from Pai's walking stick. Natsuko: ? Yakumo: If you hurt Natsuko...I won't forgive you! Takuhi grabs Natsuko and Pai. Nearby, the one-eyed monster is watching. Monster: So...they've caught...them... Soon...the San Ji Yan...will be...mine... Soon...I want to...suck...the San Ji Yan's blood... That Wu...could...mean trouble... A security guard spots the monster standing at the edge of the building. Guard: Hey you! Over there! Get down from there! Isn't it dangerous to be standing there like tha- ?! The monster bites the guard. Guard: Waaa! Monster: ... The guard is down for a moment but then he rises, with an eye-blob attached to his neck. He seems to be under the control of the monster. Monster: Bring me the San Ji Yan. Guard: Yes sir... Monster: Ge...ge...ge... Yakumo is talking to Takuhi, trying to coax it back into Pai's walking stick. Yakumo: "Thank you" She's saved. Thanks to you, Pai is also safe. Now, could you go back into the stick? See, I'm Pai's friend. Yakumo shows Takuhi his "Wu" mark. Takuhi goes back into the stick. Yakumo: Whew... Tatchan, how's Natsuko doing? Tatchan: I dunno... Tatchan: Shit...it's all that monster's fault... The monster that looked like Dracula... Will Natsuko also be leaving our company [Dachinko]? Yakumo: ... Tatchan: Natsuko...is it too late for you? You were so cute...how could this happen to you... Natsuko...Natsuko...Natsuko... Yakumo: Dammit...Just when I decided to leave... Dammit...it's all my fault... Shit! I'm going to get you for this!!! Yakumo and company are riding in a taxi. Yakumo: Don't worry, Tatchan. I will find a way to turn myself back into a human. Rest assured, Natsuko can return to her normal self. I'll return Natsuko to normal even if I have to kill that monster. Tatchan: Yakumo... Yakumo: Anyways, can you take this charm off Pai's forehead? I can't touch it... Tatchan: OK...? The taxi approaches a roadblock. Taxi driver: What's up? Is something wrong? Policeman: N-Nope... It's...nothing...serious... The policeman shoots the taxi driver. There's an eye-blob monster on the policeman's face. Policeman: Ge...ge...ge... Yakumo: Awww shit!!! Tatchan, get the hell outta here! Tatchan: No way...It's too late, Yakumo... The taxi is completely surrounded by eye-blob-possessed people. The crowd moves in on Yakumo and company. Yakumo: What the hell?! I can't return Natsuko to normal this way... She'll be killed before I can meet the leader (monster). (thinking) I'd better do something... Yakumo notices Pai being carried off. Yakumo: Pai!!! Pai: Ya...Yakumo... Yakumo: PAI!!!!! Natsuko: Ge...ge...ge... You made a...big mistake... Yakumo: You! What do you plan to do with Pai? Natsuko: I'm going...to bite her...She will be mine... The...the secret of...eternal youth...and immortality... will be mine... Yakumo: No... Natsuko: Ge...ge...ge...How simple... Hmmm...this woman...seems to...like you... She dreams...of being raped...by you... Ge...ge...ge...How amusing... Tears are coming from Natsuko's eyes... Yakumo: !! Natsuko: So...Why don't...you rape her... Yakumo: Natsuko!!! Stop it! You coward! Yakumo is being held back by the crowd. Yakumo: Even though you've taken Pai away from me, you still can't face me alone? What...Are you that scared of me? Natsuko: Co-coward? You think I'm scared? On a giant clock platform next to a building, the monster has Natsuko keep Pai immobilized while it prepares to fight Yakumo. Monster (thinking): This punk...thinks...I'm a coward... He thinks I'm scared... Monster: I will not be laughed at! You're...just a little...brat...who's immortal...but... Ge...ge...ge... As you wished...we are now...face to face. Yakumo: Heheh...I'm waiting for you. Monster: Ge...ge...ge... Here I come! Yakumo: Come on! The monster jumps down from the platform to attack Yakumo. Tatchan: Ya...Yakumo... Yakumo barely avoids the monster's attack. Yakumo (thinking): This guy's pretty good. There's no way I'm going to beat him. Monster: Ge...ge...ge... Already running away? Now...who's the coward? Yakumo: Shit. I can't say anything... This is different from the Hong Kong monster extermination. You think you can win without any kind of preparation? Just as Yakumo reaches the platform Pai's on, the monster jumps in front of him. Monster: So are you going to beg the San Ji Yan for help? Yakumo: Dammit. Monster: Ge...ge...ge... I'm going to...keep your head in a bottle forever... The monster raises its hand, ready to blast Yakumo. Yakumo: W-Wait! I have a last request! Whatever you do, return Natsuko and everybody else back to normal. Promise me! The monster ignores Yakumo's words and blasts Yakumo's head off. Monster: Ge...ge...ge... That will only happen...when I die... Ge...ge...ge... What a weakling... The beheaded Yakumo charges at the monster. Monster: !! What...the...?! Yakumo runs past the monster and towards Pai. He manages to remove the charm from Pai's forehead. San Ji Yan: I'll see you in hell, scum bag. Yakumo slaps the charm on the monster's eye, removes the cap from Pai's walking stick, and shoves the open end into the monster's mouth. San Ji Yan: Takuhi? The monster expands and blows up like a balloon. San Ji Yan: Using Takuhi to blow up your opponent from the stomach... Not bad... Yakumo's body is wandering around, searching for Yakumo's head. Pai is carrying Yakumo's head some distance away. San Ji Yan: This is what you get for not taking that charm off earlier. Yakumo's body: My head... Yakumo's head: I want to be human again... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Book 2, Story 2(#10) - Fujii Yakumo - Part V Translated by d.n.a.b. (davmou@ocf.berkeley.edu), studio 3x3 narration> It has been three days since that incident..... narration> Since we defeated the monster, everything is back to normal. narration> As for me...... [Scene moves to Natsuko's bedroom window. She is looking out to the night sky, thinking about HIM.] Natsuko: Fujii-kun narration> ......I thought I have settled everything here. [Morning, in Yakumo's apartment. He is overjoyed that his head actually grows back to his neck.] Yakumo: Alright! Now my head is back in place!! Yakumo: He he. Yakumo: Now I have nothing to worry about here, I can begin my tour of Japan. Yakumo: First, I need to withdraw from the school... [Pai, sleeping on the makeshift bed, is posing seductively.] Yakumo: This dosing Pai has no caution whatsoever..... Yakumo: Living in the same room, does she know what kind of guy I am? narration> Well, she doesn't treat me like a nobody. Yakumo - In that case, is this what's called...... Yakumo - a free meal on platter? [Yakumo is ready to score on Pai's lips.] Yakumo: [The 3rd eye opens!] Yakumo: eh? Sanjiyan: HEY! Yakumo: WHAA! [Outside. Obviously Sanjiyan had chewed up Yakumo for most of the morning.] Sanjiyan: Fool!! Stupid!! Idoit!! Shameless!! Sanjiyan: Nowadays, one has to be more careful about kids than monsters. Yakumo: I've apologized already, for crying out loud!! Yakumo: Besides, in general, it should be woman's responsibility if she decides to sleep alone in the man's room. Sanjiyan: And it's the man's responsibility to sleep elsewhere, stupid!! Yakumo: Hey, that is MY house. Sanjiyan: Its different bodies, but we share the same life. Sanjiyan: What is yours is now mine. Yakumo: You're not cute! (haven't we heard of this line before?) Sanjiyan: Then don't try to kiss me. Yakumo: That's because PAI was so adorable, I couldn't resist.... Sanjiyan: So then, do you like me? .......... Yakumo - I hate split personality. Yakumo: Let me tell you...! [Natsuko looks out from the window at the couple.] [In the school's office, Yakumo is seen tring to explain to the teacher why he's quitting.] narration> Damn,... narration> To Sanjiyan, what am I? narration> And to Pai, what am I? Yakumo: Hmm.... Now all I have to do is go to the airport and wait for open seats. Yakumo: Where did she go....? [Yakumo sees Pai/Sanjiyan out alone, and Natsuko running towards her. Natsuko wants a conversation with Sanjiyan.] Sanjiyan: So, do you mind me being with Yakumo? Natsuko: Ah, no...... well....... Natsuko: I'm sorry, it does trouble me. [Yakumo listens from behind a tree, feeling rather embarassed.] Natsuko: What do you think of Fujii-kun? [Sanjiyan pauses.] Sanjiyan: A slave. [Yakumo didn't take that news very well.] Sanjiyan: Our race posesses great abilities to cast powerful spells. Our bodies, however, can't sustain such stress for long. Each spell will cause us to slumber for some days. Sanjiyan: Heh, how can we protect ourselves like this? Natsuko: In short, that makes Fujii-kun... Sanjiyan: Yes, a "wu" is nothing but a sanjiyan's tool to pretect herself with. Sanjiyan: He becomes immortal, but loses his freedom. Yakumo - She's kidding me!! narration> What's this deal with slavery? She's treating me like nothing. Natsuko: Well..... Natsuko: What about others? Those who are stronger and fights better. Can they replace Fujii-kun as the "wu"? I beg you. Natsuko: Can it be done? Return Fujii-kun to human, and make a wu out of someone else? Natsuko: Can you!? Can you!? Sanjiyan: ..... ..... [Sanjiyan has this bad habit of reverting to Pai when asked tough questions.] Pai: ..... ..... Pai: Eh? What!? Pai: Eh? Eh!? Eeeeh!? Natsuko: ..... ..... Pai: Where's here's where? Yakumo: !? Pai... Yakumo - Does Pai too think I'm just a tool to protect her? [Pai spots Yakumo.] Pai: Yeaahkumoo!! Yakumo: Ah!! Natsuko: ..... Fujii-kun ...... [Yakumo thinks back (to Chapter 9). Seems Natsuko remembers some of that too.] Flashback> Demon: For example, this girl...... seems to take a liking of you..... Flashback> Demon: To be violated by you ..... would be a dream come true for her. Yakumo: .... Natsuko .... I ...... Yakumo: I ...... Natsuko: BUA HA HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yakumo: Eh? Natsuko: Stop that! This is so funny. You were actually serious!? Natsuko: You actually believe everything a demon says!? Natsuko: I only see you as a good friend, that's all. Natsuko: Don't feel awkward about it. You and Pai make a nice couple.... Natsuko: Really, don't worry about me... You go have a nice trip now. Yakumo: Natsu..... [Something is happening to Natsuko.] Natsuko: !? Yakumo: Natsu..... [Natsuko's voice(font) changes. She's now reposessed.] Demon: She says not to worry ...... Demon: Hehehe, if you're not worried, then I am. Yakumo: That voice!! [Things begin to pop out of Natsuko's body. A head merges from Natsuko's throat. Blood splats and Natsuko seems to feel every bit of it.] Natsuko: kyaaaaaa Pai: Aye Ya (Chinese: on my)!! What is happening to her!? Yakumo: That scum is still alive!? [Now the outgrown demon is branching to all corners of the campus like an oversized tree.] Demon: Fool, that thing you killed was only my double.... Demon: I merged with this girl from the start. Demon: This girl's life is in my hands now..... Demon: To save her, make me a "Wu." [Students in classrooms.] A student: WHA!! A student: What's that!? A student: A monster!? A teacher: It's dangerous!! You people, don't leave the school building! Demon: Well... give me an immortal body... Demon: Or you want to see her killed!? The choice is yours. Yakumo: STOP! I can't make you a "wu." [Splat, splat] Yakumo: eh....? [Splat more.] Demon: Hurry... if you don't act it'll be too late.... Demon: If you can't, you can tell Sanjiyan to do it... [The little seen Pai has turned into Sanjiyan again.] Sanjiyan: Who's making a low life like you into a "wu?" Yakumo: San - Sanjiyan Yakumo: Don't say that, help Natsuko! Please give him immortality!! Yakumo: Quickly! Help Natsuko!! Sanjiyan: Kid! ..... you're ordering me? Yakumo: I beg you!! I can be your slave. I'll do anything you want! Yakumo: I beg you, save Natsuko!! Sanjiyan: Nope. Sanjiyan: That girl's life or death is none of my concern. Sanjiyan: Hurry to Hong Kong. [The eye closes before Yakumo can respond. Typical. Yakumo is as shocked as anyone has ever seen.] Yakumo: I hate you(Sanjiyan)!! Don't show up in front of me again!! [Of course Pai doesn't know what's going on. She thinks Yakumo is refering to her. This will lead to another joke in Chapter 11. Studio Proteus should get to that in another 18 months. :) ] Yakumo: Damn you!! Yakumo: Hey, you demon!! I'll let you have immortality!! Yakumo: Come in and merge with me!! [Pai, Natsuko, and the rest of the Yakumo gang watch in shock.] Demon: Well.... I can settle for that!! Demon: I'll take your body!! Yakumo - Farewell, everyone -------- Yakumo - Farewell, PAI!! [The demon lurches forward in position to take Yakumo's body. Pai watches in tears and disbelief. How does Yakumo get out of this one?] Yakumo - PAI!! [Typical of Sanjiyan, she bails Yakumo out in the last moment. She now holds a staff, intercepting the demon's path by its mouth. Sanjiyan winks at Yakumo.] Sanjiyan: Moron!! If you can't even defeat this low life, how can you ask to be my slave? Yakumo: Sanjiyan!! Sanjiyan: While I'm asleep, Sanjiyan: ... don't TRY anything funny. [Sanjiyan produces a spell which completely demolishes the demon, and thin the process freeing Natsuko.] Demon: geee! [Demon flesh spatters as Sanjiyan falls unconscience, still smiling. Natsuko lies on the ground, naked and awake.] narration> .... I'm turly lost now .... narration> Where is the real demon ..... and what does Sanjiyan really feel about me? narration> Nevertheless, to me ..... [Natsuko is wearing Yakumo's jacket. Yakumo looks back to his gang for the last time.......] Natsuko: Thank you. Be strong, Fujii-kun. narration> This fearful Sanjiyan, and Pai .... Tatchan: Go get 'em, Yakumo. Saru: Be human soon, and come back you hear. [..... and he carries the sleeping Pai and leaves into the sunset.] narration> I like them both.

What are we going to do now? Yakumo: Uh! Er! Well go to Yougekisha (Monster Buster Company) pg. 63) Yakumo: Ta da! Yakumo: Actually, this arrived from Ling Ling just before we left Japan. Postcard: To: Fujii Yakumo. Discovered whereabouts of the statue. Details in Hong Kong. Pai: Statue.... Pai: Statute of Humanity!? pg. 64) Pai: We did it! We found the statue of humanity!! With that I can become human!! Yakumo[thinking]: Hmm... Thing seem all mixed up. I wonder if it's OK. Yakumo[thinking]: Even though it was in haste, I said "I hate your(Sanjiyan) guts!! Don't ever appear in front of me again!!". pg. 65) Pai: Ever since she woke in Japan, she's been sticking to me like fly paper and has been happy and bubbly. I'm worried... Sign: Yougekisha (Monster Buster Company) Yakumo[thinking]: very complicated Yakumo?: You want to become human soon, don't you Pai? Pai?: Yeah Yakumo: At any rate, after you become human.... pg. 66) Stranger: Hey you! Where are you going? [in Chinese] Yakumo: Huh? [then thinking]: I have a bad feeling about this. Stranger: Are you with Yougekisha? [in Chinese] Pai: Yeah! We came for the statue!! [in Chinese] Yakumo: Um. Would someone mind translating for me... Stanger: The statue you say... [in Chinese] pg. 67) Stranger: Is that so? [in Chinese] Yakumo: It looks like things have gotten a little sticky. Get back Pai!! Pai: Eeeeiiii!! Yakumo: It might be another monster after you. pg. 68) Yakumo: What do you think your doing? You're not fighting fair! pg. 69) Meixing: I'm Steve Long's younger sister Meixing Long. Return my brother at once!! [in Chinese] [Note: Even though Meixing is female, her speach is masculine. In Japanese "male" speach and "female" speach are quite distinct. Also note that a Chinese "x" is pronounced as a soft "sh" sound.] pg. 70) Yakumo: Errr.. What are you saying? Will you speak in Japanese for crying out loud. Pai: Leave Yakumo alone!! If you don't Pai will get mad!! [in Chinese] pg. 71) Meixing: No playing innocent on me!! I'll exchange the statue skull for my brother. [in Chinese] Pai: Huh!? Pai: Let Yakumo go.... [in Chinese] Meixing: You guys really don't know do you.... [in Chinese] [Note: As a general rule, Meixing, Ling Ling and Steve Long speak Cantonese with each other, and Ling Ling and Steve Long seem to know a little Japanese. Yakumo doesn't know any Chinese yet though. Of course everything is written in Japanese, but as a general (but not absolute) rule horizontal text is used to represent what is Chinese within the story]. pg. 72) Pai: DON'T DO THAT!! Pai: Don't put Yakumo in front of me!! If I appear in front of Yakumo, he will hate me. Pai[quoting Yakumo]: I hate your(Sanjiyan) guts!! Don't ever appear in front of me again! Pai: Therefore, Pai has to be on Yakumo's "side". Meixing: Have you ever heard of a figure of speach? Meixing: Have you ever been to school? Meixing: I think I was the fool for doubting these clueless types. pg. 73) Meixing: That was ten days ago. Meixing: My big brother is a psychic[not quite correct, literaly "spirit ability person"] who earns his bread by doing purification and exorcism. The name "Steve Long" is actually rather well respected in Hong Kong. pg. 74) Meixing: Then this person from Yougekisha comes along. [Note: Meixing is relating this conversation] Long: Long time no see. What are you after today. Ling Ling: The statue of humanity Long: Waa! Just as always, you're really fast. How did you find out I had it so soon. Ling Ling: There was a tracking device on the statue. But rather than that, tell me how you got your hand on it. Long: I felt the evil presense in the night sky, so I tried doing a purification. When I did, the statue fell from the sky. pg. 75) Long: Although it was broken a little. Ling Ling: What!! Long: It wasn't my fault!! Ling Ling: How could you do such a thing you dim witted would-be psychic swindler! Long: What! You're the one who makes a mockery of the spirit world you lowest of the low. Meixing: My brother got really mad and said that he would never hand over the statue, and a big fight went on for three days. Meixing: However, on the evening of the fourth day.... pg. 76) Meixing: Big brother? What happened? What was that sound? pg. 77) Meixing: When the sound subsided and I came to, my brother was gone. Since that day, the woman from Yogekisha was also gone. All that was left was this one forgotten fragment. Book: Chinese Made Simple Meixing: I will come again. If you see that woman, tell her that I will exchange the fragment for my brother. Yakumo: Ah, wait! Please let me see that fragment [in Chinese] pg. 78) Meixing: I don't think that a weakling like you could be the culpret, but if I'm not careful my brother's life could be in danger. I don't trust you. Yakumo: What a bitch! Pai: It's OK. Cheer up. Surely your brother is all right. My instincts are usually on the mark. Pai: Leave it to us!! Yakumo will rescue you're brother!! [Note: Of course Pai is speaking in Chinese. How Yakumo seems to understand what Pai is saying, I don't know.] pg. 79) Meixing: I'm not counting on it. pg. 80) Yakumo: Hey! Yakumo: So you guys are the culprits!? pg. 81) Pai: Eeeeiiiii! Someone help! Meixing: You! pg. 82) Meixing: Even if I die, I won't let you have it!! Pai: Someone help!! pg. 85) Yakumo: Tell your boss!! We will trade the fragment for the psychic. pg. 86) Pai: Yakumo.... Yakumo: Don't worry about me. I'm fine, Pai. Pai: Yakumo.... Yakumo: He he he he! It seems that things have gotten interesting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Book 2, Story 4(#12) - Sacrifice of the Devil Wing - Part II Translated by Jeffery Hansen (hansen@cmu.edu) pg. 88) Yakumo+Pai: Puff.. Puff.. Puff.. Puff.. Pai: Are you sure your all right Yakumo? Yakumo: aaah. There aren't any suspicious character's around here are there? If we're attacked, now it's all over. pg. 89) Yakumo: Shit! Who the hell are they? Yakumo: Even though this statue of humanity doesn't seem to be of any artistic value, why are they after it? There doesn't seem to be any point in it. pg. 90) Yakumo: Unless you're a Sanjiyan. Yakumo: Sanjiyan? Yakumo: It couldn't be... Pai: Pai will know who they really are soon. Pai: I made Takuhi really small, and sent him off after them. pg. 91) Pai: Pai and Takuhi are connected by telepathy now. Whatever Takuhi sees, Pai also seems. Yakumo: Ah ha! You did it! Great work! Pai: Ahhh! Praise me! Praise me! Praise me more! Yakumo: All right lets hurry and get ourselve hid. Pai: OK Naration: If things go well, we will find not only Ling Ling and the psychic, but we will also get the statue of humanity. pg. 92) Pai: You're doing great, Takuhi!! pg. 93) Meixing: What! Where am I? [in Chinese] Meixing: Damn! The fragment is gone!! Was it those Japanese... pg. 94) Meixing: Ahh... If only I hadn't let down my guard..... ....brother.... Yakumo: Shiiit. Is the secret of humanization really hidden in this filthy little thing? Next time I'll have to as Sanjiyan. Meixing: Ha! [in Chinese] pg. 95) Meixing: You! Give back the fragment or I'll kill you! Yakumo: Calm down! I saved your life you know! Meixing: I'm going to kill you!! Yakumo: eeiii Meixing: Waa Meixing: Wa ah ah ah... Yakumo: Look out... pg. 96) Pai: Will you be quiet! pg. 97) Pai: If you're not quite, you'll break the telepathy connection. Meixing: Telepathy!? Yakumo: Wern't you taking a bath? Pai: I was passing water over to me to concentrate my spirit. Pai: Hold on just a bit Meixing. I'm searching for your brother now. Meixing: Wh..who are you? Yakumo: I say...we be inconvenient to you...like this... please trust us [in broken Chinese] pg. 98) Pai: ....Hotel Royal Soala Hong Kong....hotel.... pg. 99) Pai: ...yes...it's a hallway....Takuhi is in the hallway now.... Pai: Ah... the masked people.... Meixing: Can you really see them!? Is my brother there? My brother!! Search for my brother!! Yakumo[thinking]: She really is praisworthy, isn't she... Pai: Wait! There's a room.... pg. 100) Pai: Huh!? What? Pai: What is this room!? pg. 101) Pai: What are these women!? Why are all these women here? Yakumo: Ling Ling!? Is Ling Ling there!? Meixing: Brother!! Is my brother there!? Pai: That.... pg. 102) Pai: There is one man.... Pai: It looks like he's been totured horribly. He looks like he is on the verge of death!! Meixing: Royal Hotel Soala Hong Kong!! 32nd floor, right? Meixing: Big brother!! I'm on my way... pg. 103) Yakumo: Ah ah ah. hold on! Meixing: What are you doing!! Yakumo: Go to hotel. You be killed. Bad. Wait! Until I contacted person I know, Ms. Wong. [in Chinese while reading Chinese conversation book] Meixing: Shut up! Pai: Yakumo... pg. 104) Meixing: Sorry, but I'm in a hurry!! Pai: Wait!! Pai will also go!! Pai: I can't let people do such horrible things!! Pai: Come on, lets hurry. pg. 105) Meixing: You guys really are strange... Pai: Huh? Meixing: Thank you! I really am grateful. But I can't can't be an inconvenience to you either. Yakumo: You fool! Yakumo: You're going to get killed you stupid bitch!! pg. 106) Yakumo: Are you all right Pai!! Pai: Yeah... Pai: We have to save Meixing. Yakumo: What are you talking about!! I feel relieved that she's gone. Pai: No! Pai likes that girl. Pai: Yakumo. Yakumo: Who could like that bitch.... Yakumo: that bit....ch. pg. 107) Pai: Takuhi!! Please Takuhi!! Until Pai and Yakumo arrive, protect Meixing. pg. 108) Meixing: What do you mean there's no 32nd floor!! Clerk: No matter what you say, we only have 30 floors!! Meixing: Don't lie to me!! There's a bunch of no-goods surrounded by naked women renting that floor. Clerk: I'm sorry but... Man: My lady.... [lit. honored customer] Man: If you please, this way. pg. 109) Man: We have floors that we loan only to special customers. Man: I do request that you keep this a secret though.
