(kukai walks out, but he looks calm) fuuko : he stood up...... tokiya : like a demon...... kukai : haha...... hahahah! you can completely control you own power now! if you fight your next rounds like this, you will win! (turn around) you can’t lose, kid! because you are the ones who defeated kuu! I-- lost. (everyone freeze) tatsuko : ah! division A first match hokage vs. kuu! recca (sitting down exhausted) : aha! tatsuko : hokage advances with four matches! domon : GREAT! yanagi : we passed round one! tokiya (tiny tiny letters) : [wasn’t that expected.] domon : hanabishi!! fuuko : recca! recca (SD/tearful, open arms ready for a big hug) : oh! my dear teammates! side text : punch, kick (they beat him up) domon : you asshole! you made us really worried! fuuko : if you do that again, we’ll kill you first! recca (getting beaten again) : [OUCH--] yanagi (sweatdrop) : ...... saicho : you were right, shihan dai. but...... why didn’t you continue the fight? kukai : don’t mistaken...... (legs shaking) to continue was pointless...... I can’t even stand very well now, how can I still fight? what punch was very powerful! that guy was serious. [I was originally only testing your strength...... and it turned out stronger than I thought-- seems like I made a pointless move......] recca (walking up to kukai who is surprised) : monk, let’s meet up again some other time! (clap his hand) you really have a strong team! kukai : recca... audience : that’s right! VERY STRONG! kukai (surprised) : !? audience : you guys really are the legendary fighters! even though you lost this time, that was a great match! come back next time! this was a honorable fight! [except for fujimaru that is] saicho : shihan dai...... audience (chanting) : kuu! kuu!! kuu! (the FOUR honorable kuu members, fujimaru not included) kukai : hn...... there’s nothing more I wish for! side text : the fighter organization kuu lost in division A’s first round— tatsuko : then-- I official announce that the hokage advance to round 2! team hokage’s events for today are over. recca : the second round’s tomorrow? tatsuko : yes. (map) next to the arena are your living quarters. everyone please rest there first, and prepare for tomorrow’s match! domon : great! I’m so tired today. tatsuko : recca you are not allowed to do that next time! got it? recca : oh. tatsuko : (red lips) [but......] I’m already in love with you. (kiss him) side text (recca) : blushing domon & fuuko : AHHHH— tatsuko (hearts) : damn...... I am the referee, I can’t...... but I feel so happy. recca : uhah! (funny face) (yanagi behind him, completely expressionless, she closes in) recca : princess...... (falls back) you are terrifying! (yanagi stops.) yanagi (smiling but veins pop) : you seem to be very popular—RECCA. side text : step (yanagi steps on recca’s foot really hard, recca is jumping around hurt on one foot, and yanagi walks away, very mad) domon : you got athlete’s foot? audience : don’t get cocky...... contestants : [hokage was only lucky to advance, so what! next round won’t be so easy...... kill them all! if we defeat hokage, then we’re already better than kuu! this is a good chance to fame...... watch out......] (after the match, in the hallway.) domon : ah, fuuko, your cloth’s all torn! I’ll give you my shirt! fuuko : no! domon’s shirt’s all sweaty! domon : so what...... (someone’s coming) recca (shocked) : ah...... (they unexpectedly run into an old acquaintance. kurei. everyone’s alarmed) yanagi : ku...... fuuko : kurei... recca (stepping up) : long time no see. big brother! you’re finally here! kurei (smile) : brother? how ironic. get our relationship straight first... recca (screaming) : who the fuck do you think you are! asshole! kurei : calm down! recca! I see you brought yanagi the healer with you! that was a good move. she is my father mori koran’s only interest! when your team lose till the last person, then he will take her. she’s the wager this time anyway...... you don’t have much time left together, spend it well! yanagi (flashback) : [huh? I have to go to the tournament too?] recca : [yes! it’s safer to stay with us!] yanagi : [recca’s always...... so caring when it come to me......] kurei : I saw your last match. it was a big farce. you actually spent 72 minutes on opponents of that level. (walking pass recca) if it was me, I can turn all five of them into ashes in one second. when our teams meet, then you will know how puny you really are. I will kill you this time! side text : leave recca : [oh yeah... just watch! we’ll say who’s the one to die! I’ll never let you do what you please!] (outside the hotel, recca practicing. waving saiha around.) recca : hn-- a thousand hits ok! next...... (he senses attack coming, stones from behind, he cuts them all to pieces. yanagi clapping.) yanagi : recca you were great! all hits. recca : what the hell! why did you suddenly throw stones at me, princess! yanagi : you said it yourself that training’s not complete without tests! recca : but you didn’t have to throw it so hard...... you mad? [it’s all my fault.] yanagi (looking mad) : no! [huh] (sitting down) everyone’s so strong, so cool! recca : what? yanagi : you won in the face of such powerful opponents! I was wondering if we are really classmates? seems like you are always protecting me! recca : that’s so not true! (*IT SO IS!!!!!! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT, RECCA*) princess is strong too! (*yeah rite, you expect me to believe that!*) you’re great too! (*she’s horrible*) you were fighting along side us right? (*since when?*) when you volunteered to be the wager, it’s not something anyone can do! today’s win was not only by the effort of the four of us! (*and what did she do then? cry?*) princess you are one of us! (yanagi confused, point to herself. *I’m sorry, I was enraged by that speech therefore you notice my little comments every five words, I’m sorry... you won’t see them again, that is, if I don’t see such an outrageous speech again... sorry again*) yanagi : me too? fuuko : that’s write! yanagi’s a part of us! side text : suddenly appear yanagi (surprised) : AH! recca (shocked) : FUUKO! by the way, where’s domon and mikagami? fuuko : domon’s sleeping. mikagami’s been observing the other matches all along. (the match board) tomorrow’s match has been determined! I had the feeling it was gonna be...... kurei’s death squad! tokiya : [these guys are our next round opponents...... monster!] (picture of genjuro and the three hooded mystery opponents) tokiya : uruha maboroshi! end of volume 6 chapter 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
