(kurei's ki just explodes, recca is really tense)

kurei : I hate you... I hate you... I hate you... (going crazy)

Volume 15 Chapter 8 : Teaching of Two Mothers

(a wing grow out on his back)

recca : ......!! [it's here!!] (the hokage all focuses tensely too)
audience : wha... what the hell is that!? a wing!? a wing grew out!! no...
that's--- a flame!!!
neon : kurenai's wing...
text : curse... hatred... murder...
kurei : haen *wing flame*---- (the wing on his back spreads and many flame
spikes shoots out at recca)
recca (jump up) : OO!! (but one gets his leg) grr... (he falls, just in
time for the big explosion, the stage is covered in flames)
domon : HANABISHIIII---!! (worried, recca is down, and kurei picks him up
by his shirt)
recca : GAA... (and gets hit)
kukai (worried, amazed) : [i... incredible... the strength of a demon!!
kurei!!!]
recca (falls down, hurt) : AH...
kurei (follows up by stomping on recca's head) : ...the weak... will be
stepped on... that... is what my mother reina taught me.

(and goes into a flashback, the hokage village, the night when everything
burned down, kurei in his cell)

text : help me.........
kurei (banging on the doors) : open up!! I'm dying here... somebody... help
me!! (crying) HELP ME!!! (sob... the ceiling falling down on him... yet it
didn't hit him, someone covered for him. he looks up)
reina (smile, pat him) : a... are you alright? kurei...
kurei (once they're out) : mother, let's escape together! the land of the
hokage will soon fall to oda's army! the two of us......
reina (sitting on the ground, hurt) : ......mother can't move anymore... if
we go together, you will be caught by oda's soldiers. I'll become a
burden... don't worry about me... run.
kurei (crying) : no!! no!! mother!! don't leave kurei alone!!

(reina has a really serious expression and she slaps kurei)

reina : you are the son of hokage's leader ouka and I, reina! you are the
one to become the next leader of hokage!! you cannot cry. tears represent
human weakness... and weakness is what makes one vulnerable. be strong,
kurei...... be so strong to stand above everyone else. step on the weak...
kill them at times... and walk on their corpses--- you must have relentless
determination... remember that you die if you don't kill them! if you think
about mother, then turn my death into strength to move on... as long as you
live... the hokage ninja will not die. (hand over her short sword to him,
kurei accepting the sword with trembling hands) you're so young... and I've
place such a burden... be healthy...... live strongly, kurei... farewell.
(she hugs him one last time)
text : mother------

(afterwards... it's the scene from kagero's time spell, kurei finds them in
the forest...)

kurei : [kagero...... re... cca...] (draws the sword reina gave him...)

(end of flashback... now back in the ring, kurei punched recca again)

recca : uh!!
kurei : and then... under kagero's jikuu ryuuri, we entered the time flow
together...... and with such unison, we arrived at the same era. this is
not simply a fight in a battle tournament, recca. it's a 400 year old fight
over the hokage leadership!! born as a shinobi... I love my deceased
mother. and I too love the hokage of my mother. and the name of
hokage------ how dare you carelessly take it!! (his flame soars and recca
falls back down)
audience : s... strong... (recca is down, but his eyes suddenly open wide)
kagero : get up, recca!!
recca : !
kagero : not for yourself, but the heart to fight for others is strong!!
that strength is not so weak as to be defeated like that!! stand up!!
kurei : [......kagero......]
recca : OK, mom!!! (jump up)

end of volume 15 chapter 8
