BOTH DOWN!! tokiya (on the ground) : uh... satomi : I'll begin to count to 10!! domon & kaoru : mikagami!! fuuko : mi-chan!! kagero : using the remaining water to make tsuranaru hebi was only to cloud kai's judgment! even without water, he could still use the ensui--- with the blood... flowing in his veins! satomi : 1!! kagero : [even in such deadly condition, he can still use the situation to his advantage... that's not called calculation! is that boy not afraid of death!?] satomi : 2!! audience : ......!! hokage audience : get up, mikagami!! haven't you already come this far!? satomi : 3!! uruha audience : kai!! get up---!! (tokiya stands up) audience : mikagami!! mikagami, mikagami---!! (kai gets up) audience : kai!! kai!! kai!! KAI!! satomi : 4 (kai breaths heavily) text : mikagami is a genius--- you are only stone...... kai (sweating) : i... am... text : stone... STONE!! you are--- (meguri kyouza's evil smile) STONE!! kai : [NO!!!] AHHHHHHHHHH satomi : 7!! (tokiya spits out blood) 8 (he falls down) 9 (fuuko and domon stare wide eyed) satomi : WINNER KAI!!! (the arena bursts, but kai stands in the middle of the ring in disbelief) kai : ...... I... won... I won.......? mikagami tokiya--- tokiya (stand up) : I did my best. kai : ! tokiya : I didn't think you could still get up. I admit my loss. you are not stone--- kai (sweat) : mikagami... ! [mikagami has completely lost that deadly aura from before------] I see... (smile) so you figured it out... I wasn't the one who killed your sister--- (everyone is surprised) tokiya : you were only trying to provoke me... I could sense your persistency--- but I can't feel any evil from you. kai : ...... persistency? yes, all I wanted was to win... that's all. that's all------ that's all I live for. now, it has been fulfilled--- I'm free from the pressure... it's time... to end. I have no regrets... (spit out blood) audience : ! tokiya : KAI!! kai : DON'T COME!!! (falling) don't come... don't come, mikagami! you can't become someone like me!! tokiya : someone... like you? kai : your purpose in life is to find your sister's killer. I came to defeat you, to perfect my sword! deep inside, we both have the negative power of persistency and hatred!! we are so similar! perhaps people can survive like that... but such men only have one way out. hyoumaen (glows) : what the hell are you talking about, kai!! blood!! I want to drink his blood!! kai : ... that's right. I've borrowed your strength, hyoumaen... fine, I'll give you all you want. (raise hyoumaen... and stabs himself) fuuko : !? tokiya : kai!! kai : didn't i... tell you not... to come? I'm finished anyway. but I have no regrets! because I defeated you!! I'll take this hyoumaen with me... using this bloody madougu that defeated you--- this is my only way!! mikagami... don't depend on the negative energy of revenge... someone who holds the sword with persistency--- will fall in blood one day! you are still young... you have so many friends. death is frightening! you don't have to be in a hurry to die! this is... my last words to you for fighting me with all you've got-- when someone completed their final goal, all they have left is death... don't be like me!! you can't become someone like me...... KAA! (cough up more blood) (kai looks up at kurei, that blank mask face stares down at him) kai : kurei-sama... time to say good bye. good luck to you.......!! kurei : ...... farewell. kai (without anymore worries) : I will tell you one last thing. the real man who killed your sister is--- our master, MEGURI KYOUZA!! (tokiya looks up in shock, while kai simply leans back and falls off the edge of the ring) [I'm really glad that I was able to fight you... you can't die--- mikagami!] tokiya : KAIIIII---!!! mikoto : hoho... he can sacrifice his life just to win... he sure is self satisfied. kurei : mikoto... (very scary look in his eyes) I won't allow anyone to insult kai. do you want to die? mikoto (sweat) : i... I'm terribly sorry... kai (tokiya kneeling at the edge where he fell off) : [when someone completed their final goal, all they have left is death... don't be like me.] tokiya : [kai......] kai : [the real man who killed your sister is--- meguri kyouza!!] tokiya : [tell me, kai! i... what should I do......?] end of volume 13 chapter 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
