(aki attacks, but in domon's eyes, he only sees her standing there naked) domon : ...... uh... I really want to... but I can't! you're seducing me! that's a really cheap shot! fuuko (scream) : idiot! wake up! I'm gonna beat the crap out of you! domon (even more traumatized... but wakes up a little) : did fuuko just say she was going to beat the crap out of me? (scared) aki : [what?] audience : damn-- that was close... really close! domon (caught the attack) : good thing I just heard the voice of my goddess! HA! (throws aki off) aki (lands easily) : heh... you got lucky. do you think you are out of kotodama so easily? you wish! domon : kotodama? kagero : watch out! domon! her signal to initiate kotodama is the word "show"! the moment she says the word, she can create any illusion. if you fall into the vision, then you have no chance of winning! domon : then... of course you're right, but... [what should I do? (clueless)] aki : I'll "show" you. snow, snow... a snow storm... you're in the midst of a purely white storm! I am the beautiful snow god. (it's snowing) domon : hey! (shock) where'd the storm come from? the... (shivering) aki : you'll soon die from an extreme fever. domon : it's only an illusion, but why is it so realistic? tatsuko : it seems aki hasn't done anything, then why is domon acting so strangely? what is happening? arrow : because she stands outside the platform, she can't see any of the illusions domon : I'm... freezing... recca : mom! if it's only an illusion, he shouldn't be able to feel any pain or cold? kagero : no... usually, the feeling of pain comes from the nervous system which sends the signals to the brain, that's how you know pain. what's happening with kotodama is that the brain is sending signals to your body and reverse the prcess. (diagram accompanied) usually, when you see snow, of course you would be cold, because his consciousness knows that, even if it's not cold right now, he is still feeling it. recca : wow! that's a nasty madougu. kagero : this is not a battle of physical power, but the strength of his mind. anyway, if domon can't be strong enough to see past the illusions, he can't win. kaoru : he doesn't seem too strong to me... fuuko : and his mind is so simple... basically, all he has is physical power. recca : I think it's hopeless! yanagi : you guys are so mean... audience : hey, you're losing, big guy, are you giving up? you suck! neon : aki, be a good girl, kill him. that ugly moron is annoying me. aki : yes, neon sister. ! (domon stand up) domon : heheh. I tried really hard to remember fuuko's voice, telling myself that all this is only an illusion, and punched myself real hard, it worked! I understand your madougu now, you're going down! aki : we'll see about that! if I increase the power of the illusions, you won't be able to wake up this time! kotodama level 200, "show" him the flames, raging flames! domon : oh yeah? I'll "show" you too! super size ice cube! (the ice illusion stops the flame) aki : you know how to create an illusion? how is this possible? how? domon : the word "show" initiate your madougu, so if I say "show", it would react to me too! yangi (covered in smoke) : hey! kaoru : where did this fog come from? is it another illusion? tokiya : it's the contact between their spiritual energy. even though we can't see what they're doing from here, I can feel a very strong tension. aki (domon punch, she dodge) : ha! you were only lucky last time. I'll still win in the end! kotodama is my madougu! my power! illusions won't work on me! (more flames burning domon) domon : ahhhhh! aki : what a pity. you're dead. you're mind has completely accepted to feel the heat, you can't possibly get out of this one! domon : [my hand is burning... I smell my flesh burning... damn... is this an illusion, or am I really burning? I'm... dying?] aki : even though you'll die soon from the illusions... I guess I'll make it less painful for you. (ready to attack) recca : don't fall for her tricks, domon! huh? fuuko : [cough, cough] (singing) wake up, domon... if you wake up, I'll KISS you. side text : to caress or touch with the lips as a sign of sexual passion, affection, greeting, or respect. (that was from the webster's dictionary...) (domon imagines fuuko's kiss, and has an unexpected/dramatic awakening) domon : HAAAAAAAAAAAA! aki : !? he's awake! recca (look at fuuko) : evil... fuuko (innocent look) : huh? what's going on? domon : ha! I don't feel the heat anymore! my mind has surpassed the flames! now, take all of your illusions back to where to they came from. kagero : [ishijima domon... through his battle, he's displayed a very strong mind! not everyone could've done that!] aki : ahahah! fool, didn't I tell you before? illusions don't work on me! (bang) uh... (hit) kuchibashi... (fall) I was fooled by an illusion... sister... [he's not a simple minded moron... with such a strong will power...] kagero : [perhaps-- he could become a frightening demon!] end of volume 8 chapter 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
