(recca tries to control himself, while yanagi runs away crying.) tokiya (voice) : if she stays with you, then she’s in danger! if you really want her happy, then leave her alone! recca : PRINCESS! (recca wake up. it was all a dream) recca : damn! (breathing heavy) I would even have a nightmare about this...... this is getting serious...... Volume 2 Chapter 4 : The Swordsman of Water III (HA) (recca walking to school, yanagi waiting for him by the gate. recca walks right pass her.) recca : morning...... student A (yanagi looking sad) : hey! did you all hear? hanabishi and yanagi’s having some problems! student B : that can’t be true? student C : I think hanabishi said "can’t be with you anymore"! student B : isn’t that so mean? student A : they’re finished! student B : hey! you think I have a chance if I go after him? student A : so you like hanabishi’s type? [Kyahahahah] (a hand slaps the desk, all the girls turn around in surprise.) fuuko : repeat what you just said! (in school, yanagi sitting on a bench. holding two tickets to an amusement park.) yanagi : eh- [ticket to the amusement park limited to the day issued...... what did I do to make recca mad? I wanted to go with him......] (an image of the amusement park. yanagi wiping her eyes, ripping the tickets.) yanagi : [it’s pointless to go alone!] (mikagami takes her tickets. yanagi still staring at her hands *so slow*) tokiya (always cool) : don’t waste it! even though the person you wanted to go with couldn’t make it, you could always ask somebody else! do you mind if I go with you? yanagi (blushing) : ......... (recca totally miserable in class. all the students are talking about him.) student A : ...... student B : uh- student C : hanabishi looks very gloomy today! student A : the troublemaker of the class turned into that thing would change the entire mood! student B : let’s help him wake up! (various methods tried, including knocking him over with a basketball, sticking rulers in his mouth, etc. no reaction. recca though has many bumps on his head.) student A : no reaction...... student B : seems like the problem is those rumors...... (alert! recca jumps up from his desk, a few needles are sticking on the spot where he originally rested.) fuuko : not completely numb! how about it? who are you showing that sad face of yours to? want a little comfort from fuuko? recca (veins pop) : want a fight? bitch! fuuko : I’m not interested in fighting you in the current state. I heard you’ve been avoiding yanagi recently? recca : that, doesn’t have anything to do with you! fuuko (beating recca up) : what the fuck are you talking about! (recca down) yanagi is my friend! how would it be none of my business? speak! or else I’ll beat the crap out of you! recca : ...... she’s always in danger if she stays with me...... (leaves) fuuko : what kind of foreign language are you speaking? (in school, recca walking alone, he suddenly stop, eyes wide open.) recca : ! yanagi : recca...... (mikagami is standing right beside her.) recca : mikagami! tokiya (eyes narrowing, words pass between them unspoken) : [if you really want her happy, then leave her alone!] (recca walk pass them restraining himself. yanagi looks back sad. she’s about to cry) tokiya : forget him! thinking too much will only hurt...... change your attitude, stand up to it! [I feel like such a low-life...... I hate to be casted as such an dirty character...... like the evil who destroys love...... but...... even if it’s a ten in a thousandth chance, I still can’t allow her to be in any danger, even if it means she’ll have to endure a little heart breaking, it’s for her own good. (a picture of his sister) I cannot let her-fall into the same fate as my sister! I will do it, using any necessary measures......] (recca gets on the roof. sees domon.) recca : what do you have to say to me? domon! domon : just some unimportant stuff! did you say you wanted to be a ninja who protects girls? now that you’ve lost your confidence you wanna just leave like this? coward! recca (clench fist) : say that again! asshole! who’s a coward? fuuko (from above, on the fence) : you’re really slow! don’t you understand how yanagi feels at all? and aren’t you afraid that the Mikagami guy’s gonna take her away? recca (defending) : her safety is the most important...... fuuko (eyes narrow) : domon, do it! (domon knocks his head on to recca’s. recca falls back bleeding. stands up really mad. he kicks domon.) recca : it really hurts! asshole! fuuko (bing bang) : that was to help you clear your mind! (time pass) recca, your mind clear now? recca (lying on the ground with domon, breathing heavy) : what? fuuko : some guy fools around with you, and you believe his every word? when did you ever become so obedient? I wanna tell you to go to hell, would you do it? (smiling) you should use your fist more than your mind, it’s more like you! [heheh] don’t decide everything on your own, at least talk it out with yanagi! [hehe] domon (vein pop) : a man has to keep his words! idiot! (recca first looks blank, then begins to smile.) recca : really? I seem really stupid! got tied up by such a small problem! if I get turned into a chicken just by some guy’s words, then I should’ve given up before it started! domon! fuuko! thank you! fuuko : sell you one more favor! they went to the amusement park! (recca running away with amazing speed.) recca : [kyahahaha!] fuuko : fast transformation, such a simple-minded idiot...... domon : so what! what’s more like him! fuuko : hey! I’m a little worried...... that guy mikagami...... may look gentle and delicate, but...... he’s not a simple guy...... let’s go along! domon : hey! I’m still hurt! (recca rushes toward the destination, where mikagami is standing with yanagi.) end of volume 2 chapter 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
