(reaching out to grab it) old man (push kaoru's hand off) : come on, don't be so cheap, it brings back memories! let me look at it for a little longer. saicho (surprised) : [memories...?] old man : you're koganei? I guess you can use the first five forms very well... but did you know about kougon anki's illusionary sixth form? kaoru (major shock) : [!! SIXTH FORM.....!?] are you serious? old man!! old man : heheh, well~~~. it might just be an "illusion". since it's yours, I shouldn't say anything. nope, nope... nope! (hop away) (kaoru and saicho just stares at him... and then in the dinner, or one of the dinner to be more correct...) text : hotel B1 AM 11:57 (domon eating noodles sitting next to a little kiddy girl wearing a one eye pirate looking cover... and they are both sucking the noodles in very loudly...) domon : yo kid, there's a lot of seats here! why did you just have to sit next to me!? inoko : oh, am I in your way? I am on of the jyuunishi referees inoko! I'm the referee for block D. earlier when I saw the battles from other blocks I found a really great guy. and that's you, domon chan. I really like you--!! domon : ...... (look so proud) [I got supporters too!? unbelievable, hanabishi! mikagami! this is me, ahahahahahahaha... (freeze, teary) but it turns out to be a little kid......!!] inoko : what are you crying about? (finish her noodles) customers : hey, that's hokage's domon!! on a date, uwahahah!! old man (drop chopsticks) : hm--. nice meal. I can't believe an ass like you've got followers too! domon (pissed off) : AHH-- MY NOODLES!! what the hell is this old man doing here--!! old man : alright, alright, that wasn't for free, here's your payment! (take out a little marble...) domon (examining it) : ...what's this? a jewel!? inoko (want to grab it, but she's too short) : ah, inoko wants to see it--. domon : but it doesn't look like a bead stone either? old man (leaving) : it's a madougu. domon (shock) : WHAT--!? are you series!? old m... (run out the store, but the old man disappeared already) inoko (holding a piece of paper) : he left a letter, domon chan. domon : huh? letter : because I think you are no strong enough, here's a madougu. use it well. --from the mysterious old man. (domon tears the letter apart in a rather pathetic anger...) domon : the least he could've done is tell me what the hell this is and how to use it--!! (outside the hotel, near by) text : outside the hotel, nearby forest, PM 0:20 (tokiya walking toward the castle alone, a shadow sneaking close behind him, suddenly something shoots at him from behind, tokiya catches it with two fingers without turning around.) tokiya (look around) : [......disappeared...] ? (look at the knife that he caught) [a letter?] letter : you're lacking your normal calmness. that will limit ensui's powers. balance your emotions-- from the mysterious old man (tokiya looks expressionless, or maybe thoughtful. but meanwhile...) text : inside the hotel park PM 0:40 fuuko : hey, (exercising) I don't really mind if we walk together, but w--hy are you following me around? (raiha with big smiling face) raiha-kun. raiha (quite excited) : come on! the finals are within a week!! fuuko (pissed off) : that's enough. I'm already really nervous about this! just let me practice alone!! raiha (looks so cute in this picture *heart*) : how cruel. I wanted to be with you, the two of us. (he was serious, and fuuko is really blushing, and heart beats really fast.) raiha (big cute smile) : do you dislike me? fuuko (very nervous) : d... dumbass!! what are you talking about!! [w... what? just an instance now... what was that strange feeling...] old man (from behind) : young-- little-- girl-- (in a rather not too nice move, he's squeezing fuuko's breasts, and raiha's on the side with that really funny eyes pop up/nose bleed look) fuuko (fuming) : wwwwhat was that old man---!? (old man ran away already) go after him raiha-kun!! come on!! raiha (sweatdrop) : I think there's a letter. (there's a letter attached to an arrow which apparent was shot to right on raiha's head) fuuko (vein) : what are you up to now...... letter : save the little crystals before you find fuujin's main crystal, {don't use it freely} --from the mysterious old man fuuko : mysterious... old man... [how did he know about fuujin......!?] (meanwhile...) text : in front of the satsujin dome PM 1:30 (recca meets up with the old man) recca : ...... I heard about you from others. the mysterious old man! I knew you would come for me!! (laughing) just go mind your own business, and don't bother with me! [wahahahah] don't tell me you've got some advice for me too? old man : ...... (taking off his sunglasses) it's true that the other four are all on the verge of danger... but you're the real problem! hanabishi recca!! (serious for the first time) you will definitely lose! recca (anger) : w... WHAT DID YOU SAY!! old man (suddenly appears behind recca) : you should know this... you've always been losing every time you fought kurei before! I'm warning you, you can't defeat that man with just luck, physical power and recklessness!! recca : [when did he move to behind me......!!] old man : you've still got time... call me anytime if you wanna win! or else, you'll just be waiting for "death"!! recca (look around) : [disappeared......?] (determined) I'll win!! who needs to call you, old man!! text : the mysterious old man... he disappeared after he gave each of the hokage a prophetic advice--whether an enemy or a friend... no one knows his real identity--- (except for me of course... and most of you out there should've guess already too ^_^) end of volume 11 chapter 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
