I almost got caught! (he’s outside yanagi’s room. hitting the code panel on the wall.) kaoru (thinking) : 9,0,1. 9,0,1. (beeping sounds. he opens the door. yanagi’s standing their without her blanket, kaoru freezes... yanagi screams, kaoru is flushed red.) kaoru : two... two grapes...... yanagi : ahhhhhhhhhh- recca : princess? fuuko : recca, what are you doing? domon : [haha!] are you planning to celebrate with a bottle of champaign? recca : no. just before...... I thought I heard princess’s voice...... fuuko (domon blank look) : ...... really? recca : probably I’m hearing things! but I’m almost definitely sure that princess is here! I don’t care who that kurei is, I will rescue my princess! domon : ahhh! that was so cool! fuuko : you’re right! but, before we reach out destination, we have many things to take care of right? such as, go past that door and see what’s there. (the door at the end of the hall) (meanwhile in yanagi’s room, kaoru has a bunch of bumps on his head.) kaoru : [it hurts. damn it hurts.] yanagi (tears) : pervert! you kid! last time you kidnapped me, now what do you want this time? [even recca never seen me naked!] kaoru (still blushing) : sorry! I didn’t mean to. I came here to bring you this! (he opens the bag he’s carrying. various packages of food. yanagi stare at it, she already wrapped herself up in that blanket.) yanagi : [huh?] food? kaoru : I though you might be hungry, so...... I’m sorry...... yanagi (smiles) : ......... what’s your name? kaoru : kaoru. koganei kaoru. yanagi : I’m yanagi, I apologize for screaming at you before! thank you for the food! kaoru (blush, then turn into cat face) : then... yanagi sis, you just eat it! there’s plum flavors, salmon and (name of this other fish that I can’t translate, I suck)! yanagi (laughing, thinking) : so cheerful, what a fun kid! [this is interesting, he’s like recca’s mini copy. ......... I really want to see recca......] kaoru : but, this is our secret! if kurei knows that I’m bring you food, he would be mad at me. yanagi (scared) : kurei... kurei (flashback) : [you have the power to heal others...... this is the key to eternal life!] kaoru (yanagi shivering) : yanagi sis? yanagi : kaoru, tell me...... what does he want from me? will he kill me...... kaoru : of course not! kurei told me! all he wanted to do was use your power! kurei is a gentleman, he wouldn’t lie! yanagi (forced smile) : really...... [but-- from his eyes...... I can’t see any warmth...... even though he has the save flame power as recca, the feeling was a glacier......] kaoru : sorry! yanagi sis, only if I can let you go. but kurei’s orders are absolute, so all I can do is bring you food. yanagi (pat his head) : I’m already happy to have the food! kaoru, you’re a good kid! (kaoru blushes, meanwhile beeping sounds. kaoru takes out his beeper.) kaoru : ! yanagi : what’s wrong? [?] kaoru : seems like someone’s gotten inside. they want me to prepare for battle. yanagi (happy) : [it must be recca! (remember fireworks) he’s really here to save me!] kaoru : yanagi sis, are you really happy? yanagi : hn! because my knight is here! kaoru (thinking) : knight? are you historic? (asking) is he strong? yanagi : he’s not only strong, he’s also really cute! kaoru : hmm...... (walk out) yanagi : kaoru? kaoru : I’ll come back again, yanagi sis! I’ll bring you a sandwich next time! (flashback) ["is he strong?"] yanagi : ["he’s not only strong, he’s also really cute!"] kaoru : [I wonder compared to me...... who will be the stronger?] (recca, fuuko and domon stand in front of the huge doors) recca : let go in! fuuko : [hn] (recca opens the door, he looks surprised.) recca : !! (the room is filled with models, dolls, doing various things, most of them holding weapons.) domon : wow! so many dolls! recca : it’s like a department store! fuuko : those are models! reiran : welcome of the dollhouse...... fuuko : ! (a pretty girl holding a doll standing behind them. she has a crystal on her arm which has the word "shape/form" carved into it.) reiran : I am the master of this room...... katashiro reiran. domon (face red) : bea... beautiful girl! recca : he! not so pretty as my princess. arrow (recca) : but, heart is beating a little faster. fuuko : [huh!] (thinking) how is she pretty? reiran : hahah! thank you for your compliment. primela, why don’t you say hello! (she moves the strings tied to her fingers) primela (mechanical voice) : reiran, it’s so sad! recca & domon : the... the doll can talk? fuuko : two big idiots! it’s a sound transmitting technique! primela : they’ve come from so far away, but they are destined to die here...... so pitiful...... reiran : really? (all the strings on her fingers are moving) dolls! (the dolls move to attack the three of them. reiran has many strings tied on her finger.) reiran : then... at least I’ll let them die without pain! domon : the models are moving! recca : domon, watch out! fuuko (raises her hand) : fuujin!! (breaks the dolls to pieces) don’t you feel embarrassed to be still playing with dolls at this age? I even feel bad for you! end of volume 3 chapter 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
