[her hair... so I was attacked by the blade formed from that girl's hair!] domon : ordinary humans can't possibly do that! that means that girl is also... kagero : correct. her body has a madougu implanted in it. I bet it is Shiki Gami!! yanagi : shiki gami? isn't that saicho's madougu? *paper and hair sound the same in jap* kagero : that's shiki gami. it uses paper has a weapon. it could be considered shiki gami's *hair* sister madougu, only that shiki gami *hair* uses hair as a weapon. it use to be mainly a hokage women's assassination tool. just pull of a piece of hair and shiki gami can turn it as hard as a needle. after the target is eliminated, the only evidence left is an unnoticeable hair. domon : normal people can't duplicate such power! it must be the old guy's surgery again! kagero (sad) : yes, same as kodama... it's so cruel to destroy a beautiful girl like that... genjuro : hahaha... so you are the soul survivor of the hokage ninjas. everything you said was correct. however it's not cruel at all. menou volunteered for this from the start, no one forced her. right, menou? recca (very pissed) : what the fuck are you saying? asshole! take shiki gami out of her body! genjuro : what a rude kid. kill him, menou! menou (hair floats) : I'm... sorry... (attack) recca : here we go again! (dodge, menou attacks again, her hair is VERY flexible, recca dodges again by a centimeter...) recca : AH! stop! menou! why must an innocent girl like you fight this battle? (menou turns around, she really looks like she doesn't want to fight.) genjuro (scary) : me... nou... (menou looks worried? waves her hair, and sadly closes her eyes as she attacks again) menou : yes... I understand... recca (scream) : why? menou! tell me why are you forced to fight? (menou attacks) menou!! menou (crying) : forgive me... it's not my choice... (recca summons saiha, and he looks very dangerous...) recca : I can tell. you really don't want to fight. (counter attack) domon : he finally summoned saiha. but don't you think it's strange? his blade is not fully burning. yanagi (lost) : uh, yeah. kagero : flame masters can control the temperature of their flames at will. his flame has been limited to the coolest temperature. domon (dumb) : why? tokiya : perhaps recca doesn't want to mess up her hair. he does seem kinda slow, but he's very sensitive with girls. he's just that kind of a person. (flashback to when he cut yanagi's hair in the mirror house) (recca attacks menou and cuts off most of her hair.) menou : ah! recca (not happy) : damn it! it feels more like I was the one getting hurt. I hate to cut girls' hair. I do feel kinda bad... (turn around, menou's hair fully grown back) great... (face change) wait, no... this is bad... [then...] saicho : it seems recca is not doing too well. kukai : probably because he can't fight a girl. he's different from when he fought you, or when he was so pissed off on the side line during the battle with mokuren. [feeling for the enemy in the midst of a battle results in death. recca, what would you do?] genjurou : menou, if you want to fight him... then I must... (reaches into his pocket) menou : no! no... (attack) DON'T! (she's really sad) kukai : !? (everyone else is worried, saiha disappears from recca's arm. he grabs her hair.) kukai (scream) : why... why didn't you dodge? recca (hurt) : I... (looking at menou's braid) I caught it... (yank) menou : ah! recca : uh! (give her hair back) menou : i... I'm sorry... recca (wink) : stop fighting, are you going to let that old guy control you forever? don't worry, I'll help you, trust me! menou : uh... (silence from the audience) why? we don't know each other, why are you so nice to me? recca : not really... [ahahah] but I always get really confused when girls cry... domon (weird) : it's so touching! I'm blushing... kagero : [recca... he's been successfully educated...] hanabishi (flashback) : don't cry, I hate when women cry! kagero : [by a very good man...] genjuro (takes something out) : stop acting in front of me. my tolerance has reached its limit, menou... (takes out an hourglass) menou : father! (there's a man tied up inside the hourglass) end of volume 7 chapter 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
