(domon and fuuko gets there. domon sweating.) domon : so tired! hey! isn’t that hanabishi? looks like your fight is over! hey! hanabishi...... fuuko (elbow him) : shut up! domon. it’s not over yet! tokiya (smile) : I underestimated you! I admit my loss this time! I don’t have any strength left to form the sword again...... if you want to finish this, it’s your last chance. I won’t be in such a situation again next time. recca (holding the ninja cross/star/dagger thingy) : if you say so, then I’ll do it! here it goes! domon : hey! you can’t carry such dangerous objects with you all the time! fuuko : you just shut up! recca (super deformed) : take this! asshole! (he throws it at tokiya, the blade ups tokiya’s hair.) tokiya (sweatdrop) : ......... recca (the finger) : one for one, now we’re even! [heheheh!] if you do this again next time, I’ll cut all of your hair! tokiya (cruel smile) : are you trying to humiliate me? tell you the truth, my failure this time still won’t change my opinion of you. recca : fuck! you want to tell me again that I shouldn’t be together with the princess? I used my not-so-effective mind, thought about this for the nth time, and still decided...... there’s no way...... to get me away from the princess! (scenes of yanagi crying) if I make princess cry, I would feel guilty! I’ll never do this again! if it wasn’t for my friends who taught me a lesson, (domon and fuuko laughing) I almost fell for it! tokiya (sees yanagi flashback) : [............] yanagi : ah! recca! thank you! tokiya : even if she only thinks about you...... if it was you who caused her to loss her life! what the hell can you do? recca (clench fist) : if I can’t even protect my master-- I’ll commit suicide! *he means one of those ancient japanese traditions, they all carry a short dagger which is reserved for cutting their own stomach open when they commit suicide* (tokiya looks at him, chewing on his words, recca look very determined, very serious.) fuuko : he can’t be serious? domon : that’s totally history stuff! tokiya : eh...... heheh! hahahahah! (points ensui at recca) is that your promise? (cold) how useless! if such a thing happened, I would kill you first! recca (breathing heavy) : whatever! tokiya (leaving) : [hanabishi recca-- (recca falls) this time, since you are seriously putting your life on the line......] (fuuko and domon rush to recca) fuuko : recca! domon : hanabishi! tokiya (look back) : [I’ll believe you for once!] fuuko : hang in there! damn! he’s been bleeding too long...... he could die! domon : what the hell did they do? got hurt to such a degree! fuuko, let’s take him to the hospital first! yanagi (running) : wait! fuuko : huh? you? domon : yanagi? yanagi : I’ll help him! fuuko : you? hey! you’re not really a doctor...... yanagi : what’s recca’s blood type? domon : huh? O I think! yanagi : same as mine! then...... I can probably try it! (yanagi takes a piece of broken mirror and cuts her arm. domon and fuuko jump back surprised.) domon : hey! are you crazy? fuuko : wait! domon! (yanagi puts her wound next to recca’s, their blood touches.) fuuko : look! (recca’s healing) recca’s wounds...... domon : yanagi...... you? yanagi : I have the power of healing. but it wasn’t enough, we had to replace recca’s lost blood...... so I thought I could try this...... don’t know if it works...... fuuko : yanagi...... domon : it’s working! fuuko, look! this asshole’s looking much better...... so everybody has some function designed by nature! such an unexpected surprise! fuuko (smiling) : now you and recca really has "blood flowing in each other"! getting closer and closer! princess yanagi. side text : evil. yanagi : hn! I really like recca! side text : determined (domon and fuuko speechless, standing like dummies. yanagi just realized what she said.) side text : fre—eze yanagi : Ah! [ooops!] fuuko : ah-big secret! yanagi likes recca. yanagi : it’s not what you think! domon : confession! so beautiful! yanagi : what I meant was the like between fri... friends... friends...... fuuko : yeah right! you’re eyes are speaking for you! so wonderful! yanagi : wa... wait a second! side text : stop pretending- (recca is asleep, entering a dream world) recca : [uh...... this place...... (a village) what...... is this place? such an ancient look...... seems like the homeland of the ninjas. (a house) am I dreaming? (people) ah...... there’s people. (a woman holding a child) such a cute baby! the woman is his mother?] elder : kagero...... that child is the same as kurei, he’s a child of the flame, the same power as our leader...... recca : [what are they talking about?] kagero : I understand. this child...... recca...... he will be the most formidable ninja! (she looks up, *hint* you should recognize her face from somewhere, recca jumps up like waking from a nightmare. throws fuuko and domon to the side unknowingly.) recca : AHHHHHHHHH! (thunder strikes, super deformed recca) what... what the hell was that dream? fuuko & domon : quiet! idiot! you want to wake up your princess? recca : huh? (sees yanagi sleeping on his lap) princess? fuuko : she risked herself to save you, that’s why she’s so tired now! domon : and she also gave you her blood! so scary! yanagi : uh--.. side text : I believe...... recca : princess saved me...... side text : as long as recca is with me, I won’t be afraid of anything! I want you to guard me forever...... that is my answer. kage hoshi (look on) : [recca...... no matter what kind of difficulties you shall face...... you cannot lose...... because-- you are my last hope of salvation......] (crying) my dear child...... recca! end of volume 2 chapter 8 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
