Volume 4 Chapter 3 : kurenai

mokuren (burning) : ahh—so... so hot-- I’ll be burnt to ashes—this stupid
flame—

(he takes off his kodama, the plants come off.)

mokuren : ahhahhhhh—

(he falls breathing heavy and rolling on the floor.)

fuuko : .........
domon : recca...
recca (cold anger) : let’s go!
mokuren : wait! stand right there! fuu! fuu! you’re recca, right? you’ve
cause me enough pain, I’ll remember this...... even if you’re not a woman,
I’ll be very happy to kill you! but I’m afraid you’ll be killed by kurei
first! [AHAHAH] I’m telling ya! compared to his flame, you’re trick is like
child’s play! you better do much more than that!
fuuko : kurei’s flame?
domon : that guy has the flame also?

(elevator rising carrying recca, fuuko, domon and ganko to the top. kurei
awaits them, alone.)

voice : kurei-sama-- the test subject is approaching level six! continue
electric shock will be very dangerous, repeat! very dangerous! therefore,
please give the order to seize the testing!
kurei (cruel smile) : continue! humans have the special ability to protect
ourselves, such as our eyes close in case of danger...... perhaps when we
reach the limit of her body, the healing powers will be revealed!
doctor (to the speaker) : bu... but......
kurei : you’re all the best in your fields, you should be able to determine
the timing! as long as she’s alive! that girl’s only a guinea pig. don’t
feel sorry for her! now, I must welcome our guests! recca...... the fight
with mokuren...... very interesting. but you must be stupid to get on this
elevator...... it will be your grave! (elevator reaches the top, kurei
raises his hand) [DIE!]
recca (jumping out of the elevator) : HI!

(recca has his flame ready, it blasts and counters kurei’s attack.)

kurei : what...... you...... you knew what I was doing?
recca : idiot! I just thought a sneaky guy like you would do this the dirty
way! you—just don’t choke on it!

(recca’s flame rages, it meets kurei’s fire.)

kurei : uhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

(blast, recca gets thrown back. kurei looks at his hand in surprise.)

kurei : my flame-- disappeared also? together?
recca : heheh! seems like we’re even! give princess back to me!
kurei : that hit was even more amazing1! you’re stronger, surprising......
continuation of the earlier subject-- I have proof that what I said was the
truth. (recca’s bandage on his face fell off) that’s the katana wound on
your face. did you forget? I did that 400 years ago!
fuuko : under the bandage...... [how come......]
domon : katana wound? [even we’ve never seen beneath the bandage......]
recca (slap the bandage right back) : uh!
kurei : I’ll say it again! you were not born in this time! you came from
the time of the warring states as a hokage ninja!
recca : ......... so what? I don’t care if it’s true or not, it’s none of
my business! I don’t have time to argue with you! WE HAVE SOME UNFINISHED
BUSINESS TO TAKE CARE OF!
kurei (recca’s flame racing right for him) : recca, blame it on your own
bad luck! (a strange flame appears) if you didn’t come to the same time as
I, (the strange flame growing) if you didn’t meet sakoshita yanagi, or if
you didn’t see kage hoshi again...... (kurei completely in darkness) then
you don’t have to die......
recca : !?

(a bright explosion, recca’s flame is gone.)

recca : my flame...... was beaten?
kurei : even? don’t make me laugh. you want to be even with me at such a
pathetic level? recca! on the matter of controlling the flame, you’re still
a kid. my flame is completely different from yours. I’ll show it to
you...... (recca eyes wide) this is my flame-

(kurei’s flame is in the form of a woman with angel’s wings.)

kurei : "kurenai"!
