(shows the match board, two wins and one tie.) side text : in five matches, three wins will eliminate the opponent, they are currently two wins and a tie. in this is the determination fight between the co-captains, the opponent is...... Volume 5 Chapter 10 : Kuu V (Saicho’s Snowflake of Paper) tatsuko : co-captain match! hokage’s recca! (recca comes on) and finally, kuu’s co-captain—saicho! (saicho steps on) audience : saicho! saicho! saicho! forget them hokage! just a bunch of kids! show us the true power of kuu! kill! kill him! I heard saicho is the second strongest of the kuu! smash the other guy! man A : huh I don’t think saicho is capable of that. man B : hn, me too! (saicho looking so quiet, nice, small, feminine, whatever...) kukai : listen, saicho...... 15 minutes! finish it in this time frame. if it passes the time, you... saicho (determined) : I know. I will win. fujimaru (all beaten up) : of course! if both you and shihan dai wins, then it’s even! then, I have a chance of killing all of them! (kukai beats up fujimaru which surprised everyone.) audience : !? kukai : just watch, fujimaru. watch how saicho will fight to defend the name of kuu that you’ve disgraced. (saicho walks toward recca, center stage.) recca : ! [come on!] side text : right pass him (saicho walks right pass recca ignoring his battle ready look, and walks to the other side.) recca : ......? side text : approaching domon : uh...... fuuko (as saicho approach her) : huh? (saicho takes off the bandage he wears around his arm and tends to fuuko’s wounds, he looks so sincere and nice, fuuko is blushing.) saicho : please forgive fujimaru’s rudeness-- (takes off his shirt) but please believe me...... (wrap the shirt around a shocked fuuko's shoulders) we the kuu are not all like that...... fuuko : ...... domon (jealous) : heh! such pretense. fuuko : how can you say that! (knock him out) he’s a nice guy. huh? (look at the bandage) the bandages are paper. tatsuko : match begins! recca (smiling) : you...... you’re a nice guy. I guess fujimaru is an exception. [heh......] saicho : I will prove to you in battle. (smile) before that— (he takes out a piece of paper and makes a crane *origami boy at it again*) saicho (poem) : In Asahina, as all the years pass, cranes rain down from the sky (this is a tanka) (the crane is flying... it’s flying... everyone’s shocked.) domon : the paper crane...... is flying! recca (in complete shock) : wow— saicho (smile) : this is my weapon. (holding a crystal) I am the master of shiki gami...... (the crystal has the word paper on it) saicho of kuu. kagero : that is the hokage madougu shiki gami! domon : how do you know? hanabishi’s mom. kagero : shiki gami...... depends on the aura of the user to control paper as an attack! I always thought that one of the kuu doesn’t feel like a warrior, so he’s a madougu master...... audience : oh—this is gonna be a interesting fight! both of them look strong! hurry up and begin! recca : showing your power to the opponent before hand, what a gentleman. therefore, I’ll show you guys something too! audience : kill! kill! kill! domon : did you see that? tokiya : piece of slim! big show off. fuuko : don’t pick on him. mikagami! this is the real recca! (yanagi smiling, recca takes a deep breathe, and writes the word nadare.) recca : flame of dragon second form! come out! nadare! (dragon and fireballs appear) audience : what...... what the hell? for a moment, I thought I saw a snake...... saicho : fire...... balls? kukai : [from that guy?] daikoku : he’s really...... minamio : not a normal kid...... (recca aims the fireballs at the contestants corner which was insulting them earlier. everyone scared) contestants : ahhhhh! that guy, he’s throwing his fireballs this way! run— ahhhhh! (the fire causes various damages... people hurt, falling back.) contestants : ahhhh! what the hell is the kid doing! what the hell! neon : ‘cause you’re too noisy! genjuro : hahah, like a bunch of useless dogs barking. contestants : what? (neon, genjuro, two girls, and 3 hooded mysterious people with the word illusion on their capes. the whole bunch is protected by a barrier.) neon : if you don’t watch it, you won’t escape so easily next time. close your mouth if you wanna live. contestants : what did you say? bitch! man A : STOP! using a barrier to stop those flying rocks, these are not ordinary people! genjuro : neon, what do you think about hanabishi’s team? neon : no guys I like. also, they’re not very strong. (*wake up call to recca-tachi*) but to be able to turn flame into fireball and throw them out at high speed...... it’s the first time I’ve seen it. we should report it to kurei-sama. and... I really want to see if it’s my team or you genjuro’s team that will defeat them. hokage will be eliminated in block A. recca (meanwhile) : this is my weapon! (raises his arm) the only one in the world! now I’ll show you its power! (they fight close combat, punches fists, elbows, kicks.) recca : uh...... kukai : that kid named recca...... he seems to fight a lot. close combat is bad for saicho. use shiki gami! [saicho! you only have 15 minutes! every second counts!] saicho (takes out more bandages) : yes! domon : paper bandage! fuuko : watch out! recca! what is he doing? saicho (tanka) : between the endless cycles of rebirth, I stand before the bridge of uji...... I’m attacking! recca! (bandages flying all over the place) dancing paper! (the bandages head for recca) recca : since it’s paper, I’ll burn it! nadare! (fireballs can’t burn through the paper or even touch the paper) recca : ah! kagero : it won’t work! recca! shiki gami’s paper...... moves according to the master’s will! recca (under attack) : ah! audience : he’s wrapped up! he can’t move! saicho (recca mummified) : recca, give up now! or you’ll suffocate. (recca’s hand struggling, but slowly it falls.) yanagi (crying, again) : recca! kukai : only 2 minutes...... fast. I just knew saicho won’t disappoint me...... (suddenly recca’s hand writes the word sai.) saicho : ah...... (the bandages break, recca jumps out with saiha on his arm, the dragon behind him.) recca : flame of the dragons first form saiha! now the real battle begins! end of volume 5 chapter 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
