text : we will face eternity together-- kurenai.........

(kurei turns kurenai's corpse into a part of his flame, wings appear on her
back and she is completely transformed)

neon (telling the story) : and when kurenai sama awakened...... she became
the form of a flame--
recca : [that kurenai...... was originally human...!!]

Volume 11 Chapter 7 : Nightmare Before the Finals I

neon : can you understand the reason why I told you this... and said that
it was your duty to listen? all you know about kurei-sama is only an
emotionless killer. I can't allow to simply stick the label of "evil" of
kurei sama. (turn around and leaves) I don't mean to tell you not to fight.
I just wanted you to know... I'll be anticipating tomorrow's final.
old man : [now I see. the source of his insanity... the depth of his
endless power......!] (knock recca with a giant hammer)
recca : ouch (sweating with a big bump on his head) ......
old man (leaves) : don't worry about that now! just think how you can get
stronger!
kagero (standing behind them since who knows when) : [kurenai...... the
result of the cursed flame......!?]

(recca walking alone outside the arena)

kagero : it's tomorrow, recca!
recca (surprised to see her) : mom. (kagero smiles)
kagero : ...... you're going to fight kurei?
recca (accusingly) : you hear that, mom!?
kagero (laughing it off) : I wasn't listening in on purpose...... sorry.
......you can change your opinion on him... but... don't pity him. you know
kurei can easily kill you. and you can die if you get emotional-- (memories
of the first time they were all beaten in kurei's mansion) that's my
fear...... If I lose you too...... (teary) I won't be able to stand up
again......
recca : ...... (smile) don't worry. I'll beat that guy!! (think about
yanagi) I'm a shinobi. *other word for ninja* I don't be-- confused!!

(meanwhile, at the castle... neon goes to see kurei)

kurei : neon-- what did you say to recca? (slaps her)
neon (spitting blood) : uh...

(kurei beats up neon...)

kurei : how dare you defect to the other side...... what are you planning
to do!?
neon (looks a little sad) : i... am sorry...
kurei (look out the window) : ......hmph, whatever. no matter what, I won't
hold back tomorrow. I've already planned the whole event...... I've sent
HIM already--

(that night, at the arena)

text : night before finals PM 8:11
saicho (walking with kaoru) : hey kaoru kun... is it really alright? the
dome is closed off now......
kaoru (laughing, holding a flashlight) : don't worry, don't worry!! it's an
exploration! don't you want to see the ring before the fight? (shine the
flashlight on saicho) or maybe you're just afraid of the dark?
saicho (blush) : that's not true.

(they enter a room, kaoru looks around)

kaoru : is it this place?
saicho : where's the switch... it's so dark...

(lights suddenly pop up)

saicho : !!
kaoru : huh? this is not it, saicho. there's no ring here.
saicho : don't worry about that now, kaoru kun!! we're not the only people
here right now!!

(the wall opens slowly)

saicho : ! watch it...... someone's in there...

(someone coming out of the opening, saicho and kaoru on alert.)

J - kipa : hehehe (completely show himself in the light) children's bed
time has passed!!
kaoru (drop flashlight) : J......
saicho : J - kipa!!!

(J - kipa raises his blade and breaks the ground in front of saicho and
kaoru.)

kaoru : AH!! what was that for!!
saicho : don't you know the rules, J - kipa!! it's forbidden to fight
before the tournament!!
J - kipa : you fools, this is for trespassing in the closed dome! I am the
guard of this room... I kill anyone who enters!!
saicho (remove the paper bandages wrapped around his wrist) : the exit has
been blocked......
kaoru (raises anki) : guess we've gotta fight for it.

(suddenly...)

someone : A---- CHUU!!!
saicho : !

(everyone turn around, and sees joker standing at the door...)

joker (sweatdrop) : uh... I got caught......

end of volume 11 chapter 7

translator's note : J is so cool... definitely my second favorite after
raiha-kun... ^^;;
