(realizes where she is) huh? this is school! how come I’m...... (sits up) it hurts! (shock) [I remember......] ah-- how can I be sleeping? where’s recca? fuuko? (fuujin on fuuko’s hand, the crystal has gone to pieces.) Volume 1 Chapter 9 : The Immortal Woman fuuko (blank stare) : ......... (light comes back in her eyes) ah...... recca (happy) : you are back? fuuko! fuuko (standing naked, her cloth all got burned by recca’s flame) : recca...... recca! (recca has a very speechless look on his face. somewhere between shocked, extremely surprised and terrified. he falls back with his nose bleeding, eyes bulging, and fuuko walks toward him.) fuuko : recca! what’s wrong? huh? (turns all red, covers herself, and punches recca) don’t look! domon (punches recca, all sweating) : you perverted little bastard! yanagi (screams at recca) : recca-you sicko! recca : ah! princess, how come you are also- yanagi (giving a lecture) : do you understand? a girls naked body is something very holy! it’s like the wings of angels with golden...... recca (kneeling, sweatdrop) : [I didn’t do it on purpose......] domon : damn! lecturing hanabishi like a mother...... fuuko : PUU! ahahahahaha! yanagi, you are really funny-- (fuuko has a large shirt over her now, and is laughing really hard at yanagi.) arrow : this is domon’s big shirt. yanagi (blank look) : fuuko! recca (laughing) : [hahah! heheh!] yanagi : this is great! you are the normal fuuko! fuuko : recca! domon! i...... how can I say this? I owe you one! one day, I’ll return the favor! recca (knocks her over) : you shouldn’t talk like that, it doesn’t suit you! a mouthful of curses is more like your style...... domon : [hmm! maybe......] this favor...... I can use it to my advantage...... fuuko (BANG, knock them both out) : [if I had continued my foolishness, I would’ve lost even the chance to laugh with them!] (chases after recca) show your flame to me again! [it’s the first time I ever felt like this...... I felt good when I lost.] (sequence of scenes of childhood) [ever since we were little, just like brother and sister, fighting all the time? I just thought it was suppose to be that way! I never saw how precious those moments are.] recca (flashback) : you want a fight, I’ll always be there! because we’re good buddies! fuuko (smiling) : [now, I know the meaning behind recca’s words. recca, just you wait! next time I’ll fight you fair and square!] yanagi (sticking her tongue out) : ah- recca : idiot! your tongue is not used for biting, understand? yanagi : yeah...... domon : you two are way too intimate! recca (pat yanagi’s head) : good girl...... wait a minute for me. yanagi : eh! (recca walks toward kage hoshi who is still there. fuuko looks all serious.) recca : you didn’t leave yet? not willing to accept failure? kage hoshi (mysterious) : why do you say that? I’m very pleased. you skills way surpassed my expectations. not only did you destroy the object that I used to control fuuko’s mind, in the final moments, you also wouldn’t runaway on your own! only the thought of saving the people was left, battle until victory- (recca stares blankly. fuuko’s wind is back.) fuuko : what are you talking about! you dare to use me as your puppet-- I’ll let you have a taste of fuujin’s power! domon : I swear I’ll kill you~~~~ kage hoshi (in shadow) : really? it’s not so easy to kill me...... (raises her knife) you want to know why? (kage hoshi stabs herself in the neck. recca is shocked, yanagi is screaming. fuuko’s eyes are wide, domon’s mouth is open.) yanagi : ahhhhhhhhh! kage hoshi (bleeding) : ......... the artery can be sliced in two...... but I still...... cannot die...... I am kage hoshi-a woman who never knows what death feels like...... but, (looking at recca) you can help me break this spell, only you can-if you are the only one remaining of my family- recca (shock) : [family?] kage hoshi (turns around to leave) : just remember that...... (looks back) [sakohita yanagi-- (yanagi still scared) you too, better not forget me...] (disappears in to the shadow) recca : ......... fuuko : di... disappeared? domon (laughing) : she must be like you! a female ninja! recca (laughing) : it must be a trick or illusion! fuuko (dummy look) : where do you see people who don’t die after they cut their neck. (recca turns around surprised, as he finds yanagi shaking. he taps her from behind and she jumps up screaming.) recca (laughing) : only little kids believe that stuff! let’s go home! princess! yanagi (surprised) : ah! (smiles) ...... (eyes narrow) who are you calling little kid. side text : I am kage hoshi-a woman who never knows what death feels like...... if you are the only one who remains of my family- recca : [family? what is she talking about?] (next day at recca’s house) fuuko : recca! faster! we’re gonna be late--! you’re not the only one who wants to sleep! idiot! recca (NOT VERY ENERGETIC) : ahhehe~~~~ hanabishi : damn kid! came back in the morning! recca (drinking energy boost) : oh! pop! am I your only son, you don’t have a daughter? hanabishi : what’s wrong with you? recca : yesterday-a woman said I was her "only family". (hanabishi is surprised. closes his eyes, and sweatdrop.) hanabishi : really? (hehe......) (bang, knocks recca over) it’s too early to daydream! go to school! even one’s a little too much! of course you are the only child. fuuko (speechless) : [uncle, you’re still the same......] (recca leave house with the others.) hanabishi : bye bye! don’t get run over by a car. (waves good bye, then turn serious) [recca......] yanagi (all happy) : eh ah! a night without sleep actually makes me more excited! this is my first time staying up all night. recca : you actually go through the trouble to come and wake me? thank you! thank you! fuuko : shut up! do you actually think this will count for the favor yesterday? domon : fuuko...... you are the one owing the favor...... hey! hanabishi! your family’s only you and your dad? where’s your mom? recca : my mom--? I don’t remember! my dad said when I was little, she just couldn’t wait to report to god! (domon and yanagi stare in silence.) fuuko : no wonder...... you’re always calling my mom...... domon : sorry... I shouldn’t have asked...... recca : don’t be stupid! oh! fuuko, lend me your mom a little longer! fuuko : no fucking way! my mom is not for rent! recca : I’ll borrow you for my mom then! (fuuko punches recca in the face.) kage hoshi : you can break my spell! if you are my one and only remaining family...... end of volume 1 chapter 9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
