[blood...?] (turn around) ! (kaoru dodges and tsukishiro hits the ring) tsukishiro : hmph... kaoru (sweating) : that... was way too close!! magensha : you noticed from the blood... you were lucky, but how long will it last you? kaoru : damn it! it's against tournament rules to disappear, cheap shot! recca : koganei--!! don't give up!! this is not everything you've got!! domon : don't give up if you call yourself a man! fuuko : all you have to do is see him and you can beat him! kaoru : ...... how am I gonna see him? (recca and co freeze, with very round eyes, and they start discussing in a little group, kagero and yanagi watches with sweatdrops.) recca : psychic power. domon : shingan. *vision of the heart* fuuko : see through vision. kaoru (stump his feet, and pissed off) : MORONS!! X 3 tsukishiro : do you know the study of light? the reason you can see something, is because that object reflects light. (diagram of light shone on an object, which goes three ways, reflected, absorbed, and deflected.) three things will happen when light is shone on an object-- reflected, absorbed, and deflected. through these three reactions, we are able to SEE the object. then, if these reactions doesn't occur... then you can't see anything! to be able to make the light reaction weak to the point of transparency-- that's this piece of cloth oboro!! (he waves oboro and disappears like an eclipse.) nemi : ahhhhh, tuskishiro...!! disappeared again!! kaoru (waving his anki around) : damn... you! nemi : koganei is getting a little emotionally unstable!! tokiya : this is bad... (yells) moving around will only be more harmful, koganei! you're wasting your strength!! kaoru (cute with little tears) : t... that's easy for you to say~~~ (suddenly, he's hit from the back. everyone watches in shock as he falls down) domon : from behind!!? audience : he got hit in the back!!! is... is he dead!? tuskishiro (reappears) : not yet... I avoided his vital points. kaoru : uh... tsukishiro (grabs his hair and lift kaoru) : get up. (very psycho look) you still can't understand the reflection of light? what a mindless fool--- hehehe... have you ever read H.G. Wells's Invisible Man? that main character used bandages to wrap himself up so no one knew he was invisible. when I came out before battle in bandages was taking his idea. so, I guess you can call it a special performance... (slap kaoru) but an idiot like you wouldn't understand, right? (multiple hits on kaoru) ha! what's wrong? hahaha... kyahahahahaha audience (from block B) : yeah, kill him, tsukishiro!!! beat him to death!! audience (from block A) : assholes!! you underestimated koganei! we won't lose to block B!! yanagi : that's so mean...... stop it!! recca (holds her back) : wait. princess...... yanagi : ah... recca : that kid won't lose to such a loser. yanagi : but... (sobbing) but... joker : hey, it's not over yet~~~! you got that right. to lose to someone who only knows so much and shows off, I don't think that kid will like it either. recca (surprised/confused funny expression) : u... m... you are joker? joker (pat yanagi) : hey, don't cry, don't cry, little girl!! disappear, disappear, then it'll be over... (he speaks with a kansai accent) the next time he disappears is a good chance! you'll find your target. recca : [target...?] tuskishiro : ... what? who's this guy that's talking nonsense, but whatever you said is useless. joker (challenge him) : hmph hmph, we'll see about that. if you dare, just use your favorite attack again. tsukishiro (cloaks oboro) : I have a request to kill--- you can go blame that fool for it. [oboro...] recca (strangling joker) : why did you come mess around here!! joker (sweating) : wwww... wait... don't strangle me... (whisper in recca's ears) recca : ! tsukishiro (voice) : do you know? you're body will be in pieces in three seconds... kaoru : [I won't give up!! search for the target! target.........] !! (he sees something) I GOT YOU!! (kaoru attacks and tsukishiro falls, oboro's all torn) tuskishiro : w... why!? you couldn't possible see me......... (gets hit by kaoru) uh!! kaoru (Y) : peace. recca : so the real target is kaoru's blood on oboro!! that's what he gets for beating up kaoru before! joker : he fooled himself... he didn't realize that the invisible oboro has been stained with color, it's his own doing. tsukishiro (backing off) : w... wait, please wait! I give up! my face!! anywhere but my face!! kaoru : ......... (big cat face) [h~~~m.] (bang bang, bang bang bang. some time later...) fuuko (tsukishiro's face is all beaten up) : ara ara, that cute guy's face is all messed up~ that's all he's got even though he's so smart. recca : I suggest we wrap him up in bandages again!! [hahah, hahah] yanagi (sweatdrop) : [isn't that a little too much...] kaoru (wink) : he probably can't understand the meaning of not giving up? I hate these weak minds.
