(yanagi's asleep next to him, recca smiles and leaves, he starts his training, meanwhile remembers something fuuko said) fuuko : [I went to an old castle near the arena. there... I saw some strange things...] recca : [strange things?] (meanwhile, he's training with homura) fuuko : [I was locked up in some weird trap... (a very kawaii picture of fuuko escaping, singing, hopping, music note, while raiha has X X eyes, and a big bump on his head) even though I found a way to escape, still... (two men in masks and suit are talking) mask A : [how's going with you? did you win anything?] mask B : [it's horrible... kuu lost, and I tossed away a lot of money.] mask A : [it was very unexpected, you would've made considerable gains if you bet on the hokage!] fuuko : [lost money... bet on... unexpected gains? those two in masks, seems like they are talking about some gambling scheme. this tournament really has some dark secrets! we must be careful.] (recca hits all his soda can targets with homura) recca : heh! feels pretty good, homura! ha! I'm ready! (confident) even though I only slept for two hours, I'm feeling very energetic! [my beautiful priness, for you, I will do anything.. no matter the cost!] side text : a little over dramatic there. recca : [who cares about their schemes!] heh! there's still some time till daybreak, let's go for a morning jog! (start running, sudden stop) huh? (super deformed) [isn't that mikagami and princess? I thought they were asleep... no... h... how come they are walking together?] (tokiya and yanagi taking a walk, recca is clueless as to what to do, thinking) should I stop them? no! then it would make me seem like I'm jealous, be a man! I'll observe them first... (heart beats) arrow (recca) : he's still jealous. tokiya : recca's not here... yanagi : hn... (embarrassed) tokiya : I wonder where he went. aren't you worried? yanagi : of course! recca always runs around, it's easy to get lost like that. tokiya (deformed face, thinking) : I probably shouldn't tell her that I'm worried that she'll get lost too. yanagi : I'm sorry, mikagami senpai, to make you come out here in the middle of the night... tokiya : don't worry about it. (hallucinates an image of his sister) [sister...] yanagi : [where did he go?] tokiya : yanagi. do you like recca? yanagi (freezes) : uh... recca (spying, thinking) : what are they talking about? yanagi (very embarrassed) : why... did you suddenly ask me that... uh... yeah I do like him... uh... but... really... I don't really know... I never really talked with boys... so I don't really know how it feels like... just that during the time I'm with recca... I felt something I never did before. I get mad when I see recca with other girls, and heart would hurt... if he's not around, I feel unsecured... what's going on? (stupid look) side text (tokiya looks funny) : she already loves him that much. and she really can't tell? tokiya : [what a slow girl.] arrow : he's hopeless. yanagi : [then...] tokiya : sorry, I shouldn't have asked you that. one of these days, you'll understand your feelings. before that, keep things the way they are. yanagi (hurt her hand) : hey. ah! tokiya (turn around) : what's wrong? yanagi (hold up her hand) : ooops... my healing power doesn't work on myself. (tokiya holds her hand) hn? (lean down and sucks the blood from her would, recca and yanagi are completely traumatized) yanagi : uh... y... you... tokiya : that metal was rusted... this would prevent any illness. (spits the blood) [I don't care about your feelings toward recca... all I want to do is protect you. in my mind, you are just as important as my sister. recca (jump out and kick tokiya flying) : super kick! (jumping around) are you alright? princess! yanagi : recca! (sweating) you're here! recca : that blood on your hand! (to tokiya) vampire! tokiya : no I'm not! yanagi : recca, actually... recca : I'm going crazy-- I never though mikagami had such a habbit! tokiya : forget it, you simpleton! it's not what you think. recca (unreasonable) : ha! I've finally seen your true side. I know your sister was every important to you, but you went too far. (very pissed) you think princess was your sister, and you cut her hair, you selfish bastard. (flashback to the mirror house) tokiya (anger) : no, you went too far... how much do you know about me? do make me laugh! what do you know? (punch recca) recca : ah! tokiya : don't always act so stupidly protective of yanagi. plus I'm not kurei, I'm not after your princess. recca : damn you... (hit tokiya) when did I ever act like that? (those two get in a fight) yanagi : stop it! you two, stop fighting! (next day already) side text : it's not a matter of who's right and who's wrong... because of certain reasons, their small problems were magnified. even though they didn't beat up on each other on purpose, their friendship has been strained. (back ground is the score board for today's battles) tatsuko : I am tatsuko! today's battles will be determining the eight advancing teams! of all the powers in this tournament, would the winner come from one of the four remaining teams in division A? the first battle of the third day-- on one side, it's the only team in this tournament that's completely composed of female members! uruha oto! (neon, aki and miki appears) audience : wow! they're all really cute! good luck! pretty ladies! we're rooting for you. tatsuko : the opposing side is hokage! a special introduction of their captain, recca! fuuko (not too happy) : why do they have a special introduction of that guy only? koganei (too short, can't even see his face, hair only) : it's really strange. domon (sweatdrop) : ?? (recca and tokiya still doesn't appear too friendly) yanagi (worried) : [recca... mikagami senpai...] end of volume 8 chapter 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
