I already sent kogenai kaoru and Nagai Mokuren to get him! mori koran : hahah, really? sending "metal" and "wood"...... that’s good...... (raining, in tatesako’s house. recca and tatesako playing video games. K.O game over. recca is very horrified. the teacher laughing.) recca : that’s not fair! why did I lose again? tatesako : [hahaha] you suck! I’ve already won 61 times in a row! recca : damn it! when I play with princess, I never lose! side text : because she doesn’t know how to use the special attacks! tatesako : what’s taking them so long to go to the store? yanagi (flashback, energetic) : I’ll cook today for you all! even though I’ve never tried it before, but I think I can do it! recca (thinking) : bad feeling...... tatesako : oh! recca! have you two kissed? (fall) recca (sweating, eyes bulging out) : teacher! don’t scare me like that suddenly please? tatesako : but don’t you like her? recca (pondering) : hmm...... of course! but...... saying loyal servant should be more accurate. tatesako : you two are really ninja and princess? not a couple? you can really come up with names! smart kid! recca : I’m not...... (lights off) !! what happened? tatesako : short fused? (someone knocking on the door) tatesako : they’re back? recca : wait! the aura...... (he takes out his explosives, the door open, recca and tatesako waiting, alert, nervous. the little boy kaoru walks in.) kaoru : sorry, please excuse me! recca : you know this kid? ? tatesako : hmm...... nope! kaoru (laughing) : hahah! you are tatesako fumio? nice to meet you! I’m here to kidnap you! tatesako : ......... recca (annoyed) : hey! kid! (knocks kaoru on the head "BANG!") don’t come into other people’s house like this! kaoru : who the hell are you? you’re in my way! (kaoru reaches back, and pulls out his weapon.) recca : !? (one end of kaoru’s long, knife shaped weapon hit’s recca’s stomach.) tatesako : hanabishi! kaoru : hahahahahah! you started it first, just don’t blame me! tatesako : li... little kid! that’s too dangerous! (eyes open wide) huh...... (he sees the crystal on the weapon carved with the word gold) tatesako : that...... that is one of the hokage’s weapons-- kougon anki! (kaoru’s weapon matches one of the pictures in the scroll.) tatesako : the legend says that kougon anki which has five forms...... so it’s true! how did you get it! recca (climbing up) : I thought you were a kid so I wasn’t serious...... don’t take it wrong! (someone from behind) ah! mokuren : another bystander? koganei...... kaoru : what are you using this time? mokuren. mokuren : it will only cause the person to go numb, they won’t die. (a gas is spreading from one of the rings he’s wearing) anyway I have no interest in killing men. recca (knocked on the head by kaoru’s anki) : my body can’t move...... kaoru : hey! idiot guy! I’m not a little kid! I’m already in junior high! mokuren (carrying tatesako) : koganei, don’t fool around! let’s go! this guy’s asleep on some of my herbs! kaoru : ok! let’s go! recca : [my teacher? why are these people after teacher? my senses...... (mokuren and kaoru out the door with tatesako) ........................... ] (recca passes out. mokuren and kaoru down the stairs, mokuren alert) tatesako’s wife : my husband! (she stands in the rain, dropping her bag and umbrella. yanagi close behind.) mokuren : hey! it’s a woman! it’s really a woman! your fault for showing up, don’t blame me! kaoru : wait a minute! mokuren! (tree branches comes out of mokuren’s body as he attacks tatesako’s wife. she’s very hurt. yanagi stands very still. eyes blank) yanagi : mrs. tatesako...... (her eyes wide open) recca : STOOOOOP THAAAAT! (he jumps out the window of the house. mokuren looks up in surprise. he knocks mokuren back several feet who is now bleeding. kaoru sweating.) kaoru : damn it! (he jumps up and knocks recca on the head with his anki) sorry! mister! did he wake up because of that woman’s scream? to resist your poison, he stabbed his own arm...... (recca on the ground, unconscious. a knife stabbed into his arm. mokuren on the other side, very excited.) mokuren : hey! koganei, come over here! this woman who just fainted...... could she be...... (kaoru turn around in surprise. they stare at yanagi *duh... who else would faint but this dork*) kaoru : .........! (later in a large mansion.) man : "metal" and "wood" just came back to report, they captured tatesako fumio! and also-- they found the girl with the healing power. Kurei-sama. (a picture of kurei his face hidden by a hideous mask. recca still lying in the rain.) recca : [teacher...... his wife...... princess......] end of volume 2 chapter 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
