I want to sleep......] mokuren : [this...... girl...... could she......] (yanagi wakes up, eyes open, looks around confused.) yanagi : huh? this place...... (an old, empty room) this place...... where is it? [AH......] (she remembers various things that happened. mokuren, koganei, tatesako’s wife.) yanagi : and I don’t remember anything afterwards! [What is this place? it’s so terrible...... i... I’m so scared! recca......] (heart beating, sound behind her) ! [who’s coming?] (the door opens. yanagi looks up. kurei walks in with his hideous mask.) kurei : seems like you’re awake...... little girl. yanagi : [a mask? who is he?] kurei : I apologize for the rudeness of my men, it’s the first time we’ve met...... I am kurei! yanagi (nervous) : you... you are...... this place is...... kurei : don’t be nervous, I’ll tell you. come with me! (walks out) but, I’ll warn you first not to try to escape! there is no way you can get out of here...... (in the hospital) side text : at the same time/PM 4:02 (recca wakes up. screaming) recca : princess! ......... huh? (finds himself on the bench, all the doctors and nurses stare at him) fuuko : this is the hospital, you be quiet! idiot! recca : what did you say? (seeing his friends) fuuko... domon! (jump up) hospital? this is the hospital? fuuko : shut up! domon : hanabishi, what the hell happened to you? we got here as soon as we heard that you got carried here, and all we found were you and that injured woman. at least she’s still alive. recca (relief) : really? I’m glad she’s fine...... (realization) ......... (alarmed) wa...... Mr. tatesako and yanagi’s not here? fuuko : then where’s yanagi? side text : fuuko doesn’t know tatesako sensei. domon : only you and her were sent here! recca : WHAT? teacher and yanagi’s not here! fuuko : can’t you understand when I tell you to be quiet? (kicks recca) [my kick!] domon : fuuko...... can’t you be a little more lady-like? nurses (sweatdrop) : [blah blah blah] (in mori koran’s mansion, kurei sits in the living room across from yanagi. yanagi looks alarmed at everything.) kurei : ha! you don’t have to look so alarmed, why not eat something and relax? yanagi : no thank you! kurei : heheh! I seem to have made you mad! was it because my men were too rough? then I’ll apologize for them! but, don’t worry, I heard the other woman’s doing fine. yanagi (happy) : Mrs. tatesako is fine...... (exhale) ! (she sees a picture of a man on the wall. her face change, a few sweatdrops) yanagi (thinking) : such a scary face......... kurei : his name is mori koran, he’s my father. that millionaire who built his career from nothing...... what do you think is the best way to acquire money? to make dirty money. lies, threats, betrayals...... use every opportunity, and get rid of anyone in the way! in time of need, even murder is an option...... that is the way my father made his millions! and I, I was always assisting him! but, human want is unlimited, when you have ten you want a hundred...... the animal which doesn’t understand the meaning of satisfaction. my father’s goal is...... mori koran (greedy laugh) : I want to live forever! I want eternal life! why do people die? grow old? become rotten? I want to live longer than god-- I want to control mankind! I want to sit forever with women! have all the money in the world at my disposal! kurei : this was a very childish dream...... but he really found a way! that is the hokage ninja! from our research, these ninjas already created eternal life. (holding tatesako’s scroll) but the details haven’t been recorded...... my father spent years searching...... finally-- he found it! (projection light turns on at kurei’s snap of finger. yanagi stares, her eyes widen. the projection shows that scene in the house of mirrors where yanagi was giving blood to recca.) kurei : that’s right! it’s you! the power to heal others’ wounds is the key to eternal life! this is my father’s opinion! yanagi : what are you talking about? I don’t understand anything! please let me go home! kurei : last time in the house of mirrors, you helped someone recover, the process was accidentally recorded by the camera, my father was overjoyed when he obtained it through the police! hahahahaha! it was an unexpected surprised that we caught you while trying to kidnap that man who’s a little too interested in the hokage ninja! the news pleased my father endlessly! yanagi (kurei approaching, she’s scared) : no...... don’t come near me...... (kurei raises his hand, a flame appears. it burnt all of yanagi’s clothes. she calls back fainting.) yanagi : [fire......? ah...... he is the same as recca...... with the power to control flame.] kage hoshi (flashback) : [the enemy is approaching! he is a mad man...... a flame master!] yanagi : [everything that kage hoshi said...... it was real?] (darkness) kurei : koganei, you out there? (kaoru scared at being caught) bring her back to that room, and don’t let her meet up with tatesako. (kaoru walks in, blushes at yanagi’s naked body. heart beat faster.) kaoru : hey! kurei, you won’t kill her? kurei : haha! you like her? koganei. don’t worry, I won’t kill her, all I wanted to do is use her power. (recca’s house, he’s dressed up like a ninja. recca running around the room.) recca : some fire powder! and twenty of these! fuuko : whatever you wanna bring, just don’t show this idiot look again! so from what you’re saying, this is a kidnapping case? domon : that guy’s pretty rich, maybe they want money! recca : ARE YOU ALL STUPID? (fuuko and domon fall over) this is not your normal kidnapping case! this is-- involving my princess’s life! (tiny font) of course tatesako sensei is worrying me too...... domon & fuuko (thinking) : girlfriend’s more important than teacher...... recca : anyway, I will bring them back in one piece! domon : hey! playing cool! fuuko : let me help you then! (raises her hand with fuujin) recca : fuuko! fuuko : come on general, let’s march! arrow (domon’s head has a bump) : small accident recca (victory sign, in SD) : all right! let’s go immediately to save princess! domon : but...... do you know where we should go to save them? (recca freezes, fuuko also in SD, very small eyes) end of volume 3 chapter 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
