Volume 9 Chapter 1 : The Last Member of the Saakasu recca : defeat kurei--!! (in the dorm/hotel, hokage team is having dinner at the really high class restaurant.) yanagi : this meal i... is very luxurious. I feel a little nervous. waiter : the strong are treated as the highest customers here. so we have the best service-- recca (pick up something with his fork) : what this weird thingy? it taste strange too. domon (take recca's food) : then I'll eat it! recca : grrr!! give that back, you gorilla!! domon : ouch, don't poke me! (kagero smiles, fuuko and mikagami eats on their own) fuuko & tokiya (sweatdrops, thinking) : we don't know these people, we don't know them...... text : the third day of the tournament is over. recca led the hokage past kuu, uruha maboroshi, and uruha oto, tomorrow will be the fourth round. (diagram, block A is hokage vs saakasu, block B is uruha ma vs. kaientai, block C is uruha rai vs. erekiburan, block D is POG vs. uruha kurenai) text : 8 teams remains! just two more wins and they can face kurei. but there are still many strong enemies in the way before that. today, the team uruha ma which defeated its own uruha kurogane will be the final challenge. everyone feels a little nervous. (next scene, recca and domon fighting over the dinner table, making a total mess) text : ...... but, seems like they forgot all about it now. waiter (veins pop, shaking with rage) : be calm, be calm!! (about himself) (meanwhile, at the castle, neon goes to see kurei) kurei : ...... neon. today-- it seems like you lost to hokage... neon : ... i... I'm sorry-- kurei (turn around, without his mask) : look at the other person in the eye when you talk... don't worry, you're not here to be punished. and actually... I'm enjoying this... not only genjuro, but you lost too, which means they got stronger. (suddenly sadistic smile) it's more fun now...... but... will they live long enough? there are still those people... neon : I wanted to ask you about that! those people today... (uruha ma team suddenly appears behind her, shocks neon) magensha : then miss neon... do you mean us? text : --magensha-- (the guy in a big mask with horns on the head) --kashamaru-- (the guy in a ninja outfit) --gashakura-- (the other guy in the mask, magensha's brother) --tsukishiro-- (mummy wanna be) neon : y... you... when did you come in to the room...!? kurei : they did better than I thought. tomorrow, I wonder if hokage can still win? magensha : ...... actually-- I'm not surprised that two of the uruha teams have lost up till now. neon (pissed off) : wha... bastard!! magensha : oh, that was rude... I apologize. but I said what I meant. I can hear the sound of funeral bells-- (leave with his team) five corpses... that has the word "hokage" on their tombstone... (out of the room) by the way, miss neon, we've been here from the very beginning... neon : ... uruha ma killed one of us, jisho... did you know, kurei sama... kurei (coldly) : yeah... jisho was... a pity that he died. but, it happens. neon : but!! kurei : have you forgotten? strength is the rule of uruha. you don't have the right to judge them right now. (leave) neon (shaking with rage) : [......!! magenshaaaaaa!!] (scene shift) text : hotel's park-- kagero : ... recca? (sweatdrop) why did you bring me out here... [... you can't... I'm your mother...] recca : HEY!! I told you to close your eyes!! kagero (close eyes) : ? ? ? text (recca speaking with aki and miki) : it's the rule! so, take kotodama and idaten. you use to be our hated enemy...... but we won't ever forget that you saved our sister neon. (they smile) but because we are a member of uruha, please forgive us if we offended you... we hope they will give you more power. (recca takes out the madougu) text : kotodama...... (flashback of domon vs. aki fight) by saying the word "show", the madougu creates mental illusions... just maybe this thing... recca : show me! (kotodama shines) my mom's been cursed, kagero (half open eyes) : [recca...!!] recca : break it!!! (kotodama gives off a really bright flash of light, and then the main crystal breaks apart) recca : ahhh!! ...it... broke. no good... (sad) d... damn it... (kagero come over and hugs him) kagero : idiot boy... (crying) ...how can you even come up with something like that...... recca : because I feel bad. (his looks funny when his head is pressed against kagero's breast) it's been 400 years... and you haven't grown at all. your friends... can turn into told men... so when I grow up, and I'm like that, mom you'll still look the same!! kagero (smile) : yes... I want to pass the years like you... [ouka dono... are you watching? this is our son...] recca : mom!! we'll keep on winning!! domon, mikagami, fuuko and koganei!! it's gonna be alright with friends like them!! so then...! I can break your curse... princess will be safe!! I'll take care of that stupid kurei!! (big smile) and we can all go home! (meanwhile, everybody else has been peaking on them) fuuko : ...so he came here to have fun with his mom. domon (bad smile) : don't they look lovely! tokiya (blushing a little) : you guys are bad. arrow (point at tokiya) : then why did he come. (notice a little bit of hair sticking out from the bottom of the panel next to mikagami) arrow (point to the hair) : koganei... (cuz he's too short to be included in the picture, that happens to him all the time, and meanwhile, it's the next day, at the arena) text : fourth day of the ura butou satsujin. tatsuko : today's match will determine the winner from block A!! the team that will enter the semi-finals... is it hokage!? (domon cheering for himself...) tokiya (vein) : of course, thanks!! tatsuko : or saakasu--!? (a man approach from the other side, everyone shuts up, he walks into the light, and he only has one eye.) recca : [...... he's strong...] tatsuko (blush) : ara. he's so handsome. [man of my dream.] yashiro : I am yashiro of saakasu. it's too bad-- but the result of this match has already been determined! (recca has very funny, round eyes...) yanagi : ? (too bad... but he confused everybody...) end of volume 9 chapter 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
