(a very deformed picture of his dad throwing him out of his bed.) recca : pop! what the hell! what was that for! hanabishi : you idiot! you think you can sleep just cause it’s sunday! go clean the house! kagero (as those two fight) : uh... breakfast is ready. (recca and his dad freeze. hanabishi pushes recca right out of the way and holds kagero’s hand.) hanabishi : ms. kagero! you are the guest, how can you cook for us! let’s go eat! forget this idiot. kagero : ummm...... recca : stupid pop. [but... back to reality, I’ve never had a mom to take care of me... (smile) this is pretty good actually......] (kagero fixing their food as recca and his dad fight for the food on the table in SD form.) recca : [ah-- stupid pop--] hanabishi : [so what--] kagero : [don’t fight, there’s a lot more...] yanagi (at the door) : morning! recca : hi. princess! hanabishi : girls in the morning... recca, don’t fool around! recca : I know. I’m leaving! don’t hit on my mom! (recca’s runs out the door, hanabishi falls to the floor when recca said that about his mom.) kagero : watch out for cars on the way! arrow : think recca’s three years old. hanabishi (recca’s gone) : ...... about...... I heard your story from that kid. tell you the truth, I still don’t get it. kagero (sad, bowing) : I know... I don’t have the right to just come and claim to be his mother at a time like this. I don’t even have the right to thank you for raising that boy...... hanabishi : stop! (kagero looks up, tears falling) hanabishi : please don’t cry! I hate women’s tears. I don’t own that kid. and I don’t want your gratitude. 15 years ago on a rainy day...... I found recca in the streets...... (flashback) abandoned child? (reading words on the shirt) re...... cca...... [from that time on, I was his father till today. his existence has made my bachelor life suddenly interesting.] kagero : bachelor? didn’t you say you were married? that picture on the table... hanabishi (pointing to the offering table with a woman’s picture and some fruits and candle) : huh? that! (super deformed) that was a picture from one of my favorite movie stars! that idiot recca never figured it out! kagero (sweatdrop) : ...... (smile) [this guy...... is so much like ouka......] hanabishi : even though the truth came out, he still treats me like his father. recca is 16, he’s able to make his own decisions. isn’t it a good thing that he accepts all this? (walks out) oh, I have to make fireworks now...... how about, do you want to help? kagero : ...... (smile) I’ll be glad too. (in the mountains, recca and yanagi) recca : princess! just a little further! a little more! (yanagi walking away, recca takes his tekko off) yanagi : recca! are you really gonna take the tekko off? if you take it off, the eight dragons will be out! recca : don’t worry! when I was in the fight before, I saw one of them...... then I felt my flame was different from before. I must turn stronger, to defeat kurei...... maybe that strange flame is a sign to become stronger! (throwing the tekko away) come out! the eight flame dragons! (the dragons come out all over the place, recca’s arm hurts, yanagi’s scared.) recca : ahhhh— resshin : I never imagined...... there exists an idiot to call on us a second time. I think you just can’t wait to die! recca (point) : hey, you! nadare : ......... recca : didn’t you appear in my flame? that was different from the normal flame...... a buncha fireballs appeared! resshin : see, nadare! because you moved irrationally, you gave this guy even a greater ego. nadare : I’m sorry, resshin. I was just helping him for fun... kokuu : maybe it’s because nadare is the nicest and more human among us. madoka : hn...... recca : I want to be stronger! I want your strength! (the dragons are angered) resshin : and you won’t have it! fool! (attacks recca) yanagi : recca! resshin : your flame is so weak, and you want to have our power? we are not your servants...... you have no right to order us around! you want the combined forced of the eight dragons, the flame of the dragon...... then show us what you got! saiha : hahah...... resshin, don’t over do it. nadare : it’s not good to kill him. resshin : no problem, it’s dying soon anyway. recca : ......... cool. side text : sneeze recca (the finger) then here I come! yanagi (cheering for him) : [good... good luck! recca, go!] (in the city, night, inside a big skyscraper building. mori koran’s office) mori koran : you didn’t capture the healer? kurei, you failed. you must succeed next time! I spent a lot of effort raising you, now is the time to repay me. next...... what do you plan to do? kurei (mask off) : I’ve always wanted to host another... ura butou satsujin. mori koran : huh? the tournament... side text : ura butou satsujin illegal underground fighting tournament. killing is all right, uses the teams chances to bet huge amounts of money. mori koran : money’s not a problem. kurei : to capture the healer using pure strength is easy...... but that’s not a solution. if we use her as the wager in the tournament, then the situation will be different...... I will be sure to tend to our guests... end of volume 5 chapter 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
