Rao ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [134] Shigyou: You're really stupid, aren't you. Oh -- yeah, Japan had an old saying, "The summer bug that falls into the flame." Shigyou: So, shall we see what fun we can have with you--... Miaka: ...Are you taking orders from Tenkou? You're supposed to interfere with our taking the stones -- "Tamahome's memories," aren't you. Miaka: Then stop hurting other people!! Yui-chan and Sasaki-senpai, ....and everyone else in this school must have nothing to do with this!! [135] Shigyou: There's only one way of manipulating people's spirits. It's called "The Manipulation Dance." Shigyou: I'll show you how to do it. Taka: ---Miaka...!? Taka: Miaka! What's wrong, Miaka!! Sound: squeak [136] Miaka (thought): ... It can't be... Sound: squeak squeak Miaka (th): My body Looks like... my body has become separated from me. Taka: S--t!! Let go!! Taka: They've got me pinned like a rock!! Sound: squeak Shigyou: Looks like those who rely on strong emotions are easy to control, huh. Shigyou: People like Yui Hongo, with no concerns, are the hardest to deal with. Sound: shuun Miaka(th): Ah! [137] Miaka(th): I'm suddenly moving. Taka: Miaka!! Damn it!! What are you DOING!! Shigyou: "The Universe of the Four Gods" ... You have no need of that. Shigyou: ... Throw that out the window. Miaka (th): Give it back! Without that....!! Sound: shu [138] Sound: su Shigyou: ... Now you can't go to the other world. You also can't find the "stones." ....So, on to the next thing Miaka(th): Ah! Taka: SH-T ...MIAKA--- Miaka (th): No! Not right in front of Taka [139] Taka: STOP IT... Taka: ...Sh-t. Let go--!! Taka: gu gu Sh-IIIIIIIIIIt Sound: BANG [141] Sensei: What are you all doing!? Shigyou: Sensei Sound: slip Shigyou: I'm sorry. When the meeting was opened up, these people -- Shigyou: I told her it would be bad for her to confess her love for me so suddenly, but please don't punish the girl. She really didn't know what she was thinking. Miaka and Taka: !! [142] Taka: Why you... Miaka: You're lying... What are you saying!! Guy: Sensei, sorry, we didn't do anything about it. From now on nothing like this will happen. We'll take care of everything in the school. Shigyou: Sensei! Shigyou: ...As Student Council President, I will take responsibility for all of this. Please forgive us for today. Sensei: O... Okay... Oh, and you're Yuuki from Class 1-A, aren't you! From now on, think first before doing such a careless thing! Hurry up and go home! Girls: whisper whisper Miaka(th): Wh... Wh... Miaka (th): What's with this guy!! [143] Miaka: HOW IRRITATING---- Miaka: Makes me want to puke, puke, puke--- What's with that guy! Miaka: Yi-----ck Taka: .... Miaka: What's even worse, when we went out to look for the scroll, it wasn't there! Taka: ....Miaka Sound: pita Taka: ...sorry... I couldn't do anything about it....! I just let him do whatever he liked... Even throwing out the scroll.... [144] Sound: kuru Miaka: ....Taka, it's not your fault! You're a regular person, after all... and he's in cahoots with demons! Miaka: The one who should apologize... is me! Miaka: I, by myself, kiss... kissed... the guy that did all that to Yui-chan and Sasaski-senpai. Miaka: I love you, Taka, and I think only of you. That time my body just wouldn't do what I told it to do... I did it... me. Miaka: Taka.... you probably... scorned me. You probably... hated... me... Since then... since that... you've surely... [145] Taka: Idiot! Taka: Who thinks that! Taka: Miaka... I don't have power like I did before, but --- I've always thought we absolutely won't lose. Miaka: ...? Taka: You're giving me thoughts like this. Taka: I'm also thinking of you--- That's one thing that guy couldn't mess with... We have a weapon stronger than anything else. Our feelings will stand up to anything! ...We'll win, Miaka. ...Believe in it, Miaka! [146] Miaka: Taka... Taka: Hey, Miaka. After we find the next "stone," why don't we go on a trip together! Miaka: ...A trip? Taka: That's not really what you'd call it; but, it's okay if we're not certain about it, we'll go somewhere together! Miaka: Okay!! Let's go!! Miaka: So, we certainly won't lose! We'll find someway of getting the scroll back! ...But I hope it's okay... Taka: ...I don't think you have to worry about it!! When Shigyou tried to touch the scroll, he flew off... Surely Suzaku's power is at work! Miaka: So, we still have some hope! All right! Let's try again tomorrow! Taka: ...Miaka [147] Taka: Purification Narrarator: Saying that, his kiss stopped the girl's lips... Then his arms went around her waist as she fell quietly into his embrace. Narrarator/Keisuke: This long-legged youth, however, is not in any way jealous of the two-- Miaka: So why are you there doing narration, Oniichan!! Miaka: And even more, you don't have a single bit of correct style!! Keisuke: Aw, geez! You're the ones going at it in the middle of traffic-- Keisuke: Oh -- yeah... So, Yui got hurt by glass? Tetsuya went to the hospital practically in tears! I had to work, so I couldn't go. Tetsuya: YUI~~ Keisuke: Tetsuya, the hospital is this way. Miaka: ! Keisuke: Tetsuya's relative, the guy in your grade, and other things at your school seem we-- ird... Miaka, just what exactly is going on at your high school? [148] Miaka(th): That said it... But in any case, I've got to get the scroll back. Miaka(th): I won't lose to that guy! Shigyou: Tenkou-sama... Please wait for me to handle Miaka Yuuki and Taka Sukunami. Shigyou: Soon the whole school will be under my command, too. [149] Shigyou: Huh Tenkou: ...I'm leaving it up to you, Lenhou. Tenkou: Mt. Taikyoku... I cut off their god and their connection to the outside world. Tenkou: I will soon be omnipotent... Fo that, Suzaku has to disappear. Tenkou: You are also one of the "Four Heavenly Kings," so accomplish your mission... for the sake of all you love, as well. Shigyou: ....Okay! Please leave it to me, Tenkou-sama. [150] Miaka: The - The scroll is Miaka: GO--------NE Miaka: gone gone gone gone It's really gone!! Miaka: It can't be in Shigyou's posession... Taka said Shigyou couldn't touch it. Girl: Hey! Girl: Are you Yuuki-san? Yesterday, afterschool, you pushed yourself on the new president? Miaka: Wha? [151] Miaka: W - Wait a second!! Girl: Disgusting girl, aren't you. In the middle of a meeting, coming in and attacking him. How -- bad-- Miaka: A... Attacked!? Sound: don Girl: The people at the meeting said so!! Miaka: ... Girl: Let's go. Student: ...Hey, look. It's that girl! Girl2: Yesterday in the meeting room... I heard she took off her top! Girl3: Kyaa-- Girl2: hee hee Girl3: But I heard she was somehow dating a college student. Guy1: And then she pushed herself on Shigyou, I guess. I also wouldn't have wanted to play around with her--- Guy2: No way -- Guy3: heh heh Guy1: Pretty bad, huh. [152] Girl: I heard that college student was pretty good-looking, but I guess he thought going out with her wasn't that important. Miaka: Don't say bad things about Taka, too... Yui: Shuddup and stop gossipping!! Students: shin Miaka: Yu - Yui-cha...n? Miaka: Yui-chan! Did you walk here? Your wounds are all right... Yui: Tetsu-chan brought me. Come with me for a bit, Miaka! Yui: Let me tell you what I found out about that Shigyou guy from the Takamatsuzuka mound! Miaka: ... Oh.... I get it. [153] Miaka: Suzaku is still... Yui: That's right... That's why you've got to collect the 7 "stones" from inside the scroll to stop Taka from disappearing. Yui: You kept this all in, huh. Why did you keep quiet about it!? Miaka: But, I thought I'd be bothering you--- Girl: Oh, hey, it's that girl. Sound: gi Yui: Shut up!! Yui: Anyway, since he's so powerful, we've got to get the "Universe of the Four Gods" scroll back! You said he had it thrown out a window? Miaka: Yeah... I couldn't find it. But the powerful one is you, Yui-chan! Yui: That Shigyou thought he could shut me up by just giving me some cuts! And that so- called 4 out of 5 vote is totally off! Yui: This time it'll be me supporting you in front of the student body! Yui: Eeee Miaka: Yui-chan!! Yui: Eee -- Ouch ouch ouch Sound: shuffle shuffle [154] Sound: whisper whisper Miaka: .... Girl: Ah, Shigyou-kun! Good morning. I heard about what happened yesterday. Girl2: ...It was pretty bad, huh. Yuuki-san didn't seem like such a bad person to everyone else. Sound: gi Shigyou: ...You're making a scary face! What happened Sound: katan Shigyou: The reason you didn't ge reprimanded was because of me, you know. Miaka: ...Where's the scroll!? Shigyou: ahem. I don't know... Anyway, will you let me see you naked? ...Today I'm calling a class meeting in the meeting room... How 'bout there? Sound: KA Miaka: Wh... Who would want you to touch them ---? Shigyou: That's a huge face. so anyway, give up on the scroll. [155] Naomi: Why don't you just chill out. I'm not sitting here! Miaka: Ah. S-Sorry... Miaka(th): Kyo... -chan Miaka: .... Miaka(th): Taka told me "We'll win for sure." Yui-chan also gave me strength... Miaka(th): I won't lose... I absolutely won't give up! Miaka: ...It's also... not here! Miaka(th): So maybe Shigyou really did...? Shigyou: "Will you let me see you naked?" Miaka: -----!! [156] Sound: su Yui: Are you going to the second meeting room, the punishing Tsutsuno-senpai? I want the scroll you took from Class 1-A's Miaka Yuuki yesterday. Tsutsuno: ...Vice President... What's that? Yui: She's been searching for it everywhere, but can't find it... Now that I've thought about it long and hard, I wonder why he would just throw it away. Yui: I think that scroll is very important to him. But he can't touch it... Yui: Didn't you actually keep it instead of throwing it? [157] Sound: BA Yui: !! Miaka: This is probably the back of the second meeting room... I can only see how it happened, but... This time, I won't let anyone take it away so casually. Miaka: !! Taka: What are you doing! Miaka: Fuaha!! (Taka!!) [158] Taka: Did you find the scroll? Miaka: Well.... Miaka(th): Shigyou!? Shigyou: ...Get them. Sound: BA Miaka: !? Hey!? What the heck---!? Shigyou: Just now in the meeting we formally decided---- That those breaking the rules would receive severe punishment. [159] Shigyou: If you sexually harass someone on school grounds like yesterday, we've got to punish you severely.... Right, Yuuki-san? Miaka: Wait, what's this about sexual harassment!! at this time... Taka: Hey, let me go! Shigyou: ...Hmm. It doesn't really look like you're reflecting upon it. Take her to the "Introspection (Detention) Room" behind you. Miaka(th): Introspection room? Sound: ba Taka: Bastards, cut it out!! Taka: !! [160] Sound: BAM Tsutsuno: Umph Sound: Thump Sound: Clank Yui: whew Yui: Ah-- It's a good thing I had a bat behind my back. But, in any case, is she really carrying it? Yui: Got it!
