Volume 12 Chapter 1 : The Faceless Warrior
(on that very dangerous bottomless ring, domon and noroi faces each other)
toraha : hokage, domon-- uruha kurenai, noroi battle--- (everyone awaits in silence)
label : jyuunishi toraha
toraha : begin!!
(noroi attacks domon)
domon : !
label : live reporting, nemi
nemi : noroi, immediate attack!!
mikoto (domon thinking this in his mind) : [kurei sama won't come... noroi will kill you all... he doesn't have need to show up...]
(suddenly domon blocks noroi's attack)
noroi : !
domon (having a little difficulty) : I'm gonna make kurei show up!! I'll just have to beat you, moron!!! YAA!! (kicks noroi)
(noroi falls back, domon rushes on and makes multiple punches, noroi falls down flat)
domon : OOOOOOOOO!!!
recca : a... amazing, domon!!
kaoru (sweatdrop) : he actually matched jyushin's noroi...
fuuko : I stand corrected about you!!
tokiya (arms crossed) : the gorilla exploded.
yanagi : domon kun!
kagero : [he completely over powers the opponent...... in the beginning,]
domon (in a very deformed manner, in kagero's impression) : does my flesh really taste that good~~~! (trembling)
kagero (sweatdrop) : [the coward who's afraid to get hurt......]
kukai (smile) : did you see? that's the current hokage.
aki : but you haven't seen noroi's real power yet!! did you really think he can beat him at such a level!?
(and the mysterious old man's head pop up unexpectedly from under the table. all the three special guests are shocked, especially aki since the old pervert seems to be hanging on to her...)
old man (pervert...) : just like this missy said...
aki (screaming out of her mind) : AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH---!!
kukai : w... who are you?
old man : me? the mysterious... old man!! if they continue to fight like that--- that mister's definitely gonna die!
(all attention focused on noroi, he seems to be doing something though we really can't tell... ^^;;)
fuuko : it doesn't seem to be affecting him.
recca : and... watch!
(the uruha side seems rather calm)
recca : mikoto and joker are not worried at all! and they appear very confident!! [as for kai, I can't see.]
(mikoto's smiling, joker's smirking, and kai... well, I really can't see under the hood either...)
domon (attack) : AHHHH!!!
(he bashes noroi with his head, punches him, do all sorts of things that doesn't seem to be affecting noroi too much)
domon (exhausted?) : [... strange. I punched him with the maximum strength of dosei ring and he didn't even flinch! what is he?]
joker (laugh ^.^) : nope, nope, domon san! noroi has no sense of pain!
domon (shock) : WHAT!!?
recca : he can't... feel pain!?
old man : just as I thought. yeah.
kukai : did you notice, old man!?
aki (still pissed off) : [I hate that old man.]
domon (attack some more) : you think I'm gonna believe you, you traitor!!
(wow, noroi finally speaks... so listen up!)
noroi : I want......
domon (confused) : huh? what did he say?
(noroi totally knock domon out in the next move, and domon falls for that bottomless pit)
fuuko : DOMON!!!
(domon grabs on to the edge with one hand, barely)
domon : uh...
audience : kyahahaha!! that idiot's struggling!! drop him!! kill him!!
domon : damn...!!
(noroi comes over and lifts him up, single-handedly, and basically saving him)
domon : !!? (and then he gets thrown across the ring) ahhh
hokage : !!?
audience (outraged) : w... what!? noroi saved domon!!!
domon : ......... what's he thinking?
audience (screaming) : good for you noroi!! you're not a dirty bastard!! domon!! good luck---!!! what a moron, should've just let him dropped!!! kill him, noroi!!!
kukai : I'm surprised. uruha kurenai actually have someone like that... an honest warrior.
old man : hm. so... that's noroi. I don't think so...
mikoto : ... what do you plan to do, joker? why did you tell the enemies about noroi's sense of pain?
joker (smile) : come one, mikoto-san!! even if I told them, it won't change anything! just showing them a little generosity.
mikoto : hmph... [I don't... really trust this guy...]
domon (glare at noroi, sweatdrop, think) : I don't feel too good... why did he save me...
noroi : I want.........
end of volume 12 chapter 1
yukie's note : hm... I'm surfing around right now and seems like everywhere I go, I'm known for disliking yanagi in the flame of recca circle... T.T but don't you agree that she's so annoying? or am I making this all up...? I even saw a shrine for her... how sad... but maybe I should stop dissing her... I'm so infamous now... ^^;; ok on to something more pleasant... oh, oh, oh... I was just wondering why raiha is really so loyal to kurei, I don't think kurei's much stronger than raiha, and also it seems like he's been there forever, so maybe raiha owes kurei for something and swore to work for him for the rest of his life??? nevermind, I made all that up... but it is a possibility...

volume 12 chapter 02
Volume 12 Chapter 2 : An Unknown Madougu
(domon still in the process of fighting noroi)
recca : why did noroi save domon? won't he have an easy victory if domon fell, why...
tokiya (scientific thinking) : that's true. we would also have experimental data of the results of actually falling down...
recca (pissed off) : and what if domon dies, mikagami!! (*truly, tokiya-san couldn't care less... ^^;;*)
yanagi (cheer) : oh yea, I think noroi must be a really great person!!
recca (fall) : hm--!? if you say so, princess---
fuuko (sweatdrop) : you act like a moron, recca...
kaoru (very serious) : [you're wrong, yanagi chan... the opponent is jyushin's noroi, he's not what you think. what's the reason behind his actions...!!]
domon (attack with kuchibashi ou) : YA, YA, YA, HYA!!!
audience : it's here!! kuchibashi ou!!!hit him, hit him!!!
tsukishiro : that's the thing that beat aki.
label : live reporting
aki (vein) : tsukishiro... you're very nasty...
domon (attack) : go to hell!!!
noroi (block) : I want...
(noroi blocks all of buchibashi's attacks and finally just grabs the chain altogether)
domon (shock) : what!!?
recca : hand power!!?
fuuko : what!? I just saw something flash in his hand!!
mikoto : hohohoho... you seem shocked, hokage-san...
recca : !
mikoto : that's called "arm cannon", it's so easy to beat his weapon... but it seems noroi wants to do this physically...
(domon and noroi both pulling on opposite sides of the chain)
audience : eee he's got guts challenging domon-sama to strength battle!!
domon (his nose ring shines) : [I'm counting on you...!! dosei ring!!]
audience : amazing! they're evenly matched!! on account of strength, domon is the strongest within the hokage!! but noroi's not giving in either... something's strange. that noroi... he looks a little different from the last tournament. he's more macho then last time!
old man : ! hey-- mouse girl!! do you have noroi's stats from the last tournament!?
nemi : yes. (take out a bunch of paper)
(the paper has all of noroi's stats and info, he is a little slimmer, the old man seems alarmed)
old man : [I knew it......!!] I'll be out for a second.
kukai : bathroom? (the old man just simply disappears) !!? (eyes pop out) he disappeared...
aki (missed the whole thing, turning around) : ?
(the old man appears behind the uruha people, who senses his presence immediately, unlike those pretty dumb hokages ^^;;)
uruha : !
joker : what do you want, grandpa?
old man : I have a little question!
mikoto : .........
fuuko (sees him on the other side, shock, point) : hey!! why's the old man over there!!
recca : that old man!! he's gonna get killed over there!!
fuuko : what's he up to!? (everyone sweatdrops)
old man (serious) : that noroi guy... he's a little different than the last tournament... his muscles were not developed through work out! is that another body? ...i shouldn't really call it someone else's body! that is...
(slash, the old man jumps, kai just attacked him)
old man (jump back to the hokage side) : hey!! that was close!!
fuuko (the old pervert lands on her.. uh... front...) : AHHHHHHH!!
recca (sweatdrop) : old man!!?
old man (taking advantage) : yay!! fuuko-chan's breasts are a good cushion!!! I got real lucky---
recca (mad) : what are you jumping around for!! getting into trouble!!?
old man : be nice to elders. I'll be so happy if I can die in fuuko-chan's lap.
fuuko (looks like she's about to kill him, trembling with rage) : do you really wanna die? asshole...
domon : GEE!!!
(domon's losing the strength contest, gets pulled over by noroi and punched, he falls back)
domon : AHHHH!! (gets up) uh [I actually lost to him on strength!? (spits out a tooth) and... what kinda punch is that!! even though I fought so many times, it's the first time I got hit so hard!!] (noroi's hands are glowing again) ! (big explosion)
recca : domon!!
old man : no... noroi won't hurt him too much.
domon (getting up) : uh...
audience : Amazing!!! he's still alive!!
recca : he already strong, and that madougu hand makes him even better!
old man : you blind or something!!
yanagi : [huh?]
old man : that's not a madougu. it's mechanical!! noroi's madougu is somewhere else!
recca : wha...? where is it then---
old man : domon!!! take out the madougu I gave you!!!
domon : huh? [?] the old man that ran away after he ate my food? [what's he doing here?] (take out a marble)
old man : you'll have a chance if you use that!!
recca : what!!?
domon : and how am I suppose to use it!!?
old man : that would be-- I forgot. (domon falls over)
recca (smoking, literally, on fire...) : you want to be barbequed~~~
old man (eyes pop out) : w... wait!! I really did forget!! but it's a fact that by using that, we can defend against noroi's attacks... [am I senial?] hm. how do you use that thing... (thinking hard)
tokiya : shut up if you don't know it.
domon (vein, vein) : DAMN IT-----!!! don't trust that old man!! just throw this away...
(and while he's so distracted over the madougu, he gets beat up by noroi)
domon (falling down in wide open mouth shock) : i... I can't lose!! I wanted to... drag out kurei...
(and his madougu flies up in the air, and falls down into his wide open mouth, and he swallowed it)
domon : hn.
hokage (traumatized) : he ate... THE MADOUGU!!?
domon (trembling) : errr-- that... wouldn't happen to be... would it!!?
toraha : ...... (sweatdrop)
audience (all sweatdrop) : .........
domon (shock, shock, shock) : [the madougu... I ATE IT, I ate it, I ate it, I ate it] HUH!!?
(noroi attacks him, and meanwhile, the madougu that he just ate is digested... rather fast digestion system... ^^;;)
end of volume 12 chapter 2
yukie's note : oh this really doesn't have anything to do with anything, but I think kurei's suppose to wear black robe in the manga... wonder why they made him wear red in the anime... the anime is so color disfunctional... raiha's hair is NOT purple... T.T oh, and for all of you who are complaining about kurei getting the holy flame in the anime, even though it sounds pretty cool to me, that is not what happened in the manga... you'll see... if I get to translate vol 16... I'm a super lazy bum...

volume 12 chapter 03
Volume 12 Chapter 3 : The Secret of Noroi
(recca fuuko, kaoru, yanagi and tokiya all have different expressions on their faces... but in summing it up, they basically all look traumatized...)
yanagi (sweatdrop) : uh--
arrow (very weird looking tokiya) : shocked speechless
domon (sweat, sweat) : [madougu...... I ate it........]
text : SHI---T
(just then, noroi is suddenly very close and about to punch)
domon (shock) : WAAA---!?
noroi : I want...... (punch)
domon (gets hit) : ehhh! (falls, sits up, not hurt) ......
recca : old man!! what happens now!! what can we do with that marble!?
old man : I told you I forgot. the only thing I really remember--- is that that's the only thing that can escape from noroi's bakuju!!
kaoru : bakuju?
fuuko : do you know about noroi!?
old man : I tell you in return for using your breasts as cushion just now. noroi's madougu is bakuju! remember what joker said. that was the first clue.
joker (flashback) : [it's no use, domon-san. noroi has no sense of pain.]
old man : you may have ignored it as a joker--- but I took it seriously. (flashing scenes of domon fighting with noroi) as the famous strong one of the hokage, domon's attacks didn't affect noroi at all! even if he is the strongest member of uruha kurenai, isn't it still strange? and this is the second clue! (take out the stat sheet from the ref) hey-- camera-san, over here!!
(the sheet is magnified on the big screen so the whole room can see)
audience : that's noroi's stats in the last tournament! huh? he looks much skinnier... look at his muscles, he looks totally like another person.
old man : not just "looks like another person"! that is another person!!
recca : then, the noroi in the last tournament was someone else?
old man : you're only half correct. that noroi is truly the real thing! only...
mikoto (suddenly, from across the ring) : hohohohohohoho! you guess is correct, old man... so the secret's out. noroi. why don't you show them your real self.
noroi : ...... fine...
nemi (all the audience anticipating) : noroi who's only been saying "I want" up till now has finally spoken! what will happen then!?
(noroi begins to take off his mask)
domon : ......
nemi : he took off his mask---!?
(everyone's shocked or frightened, the face under the mask in a skull)
mikoto (obviously having fun) : ohohohohohohohoho! well, this is noroi's realy face!!!
audience (super shock) : a... a skull!! it's a skull above the neck!!! WAAAAAA! what the hell is he!!!
recca (sweat) : old man...
old man : his body is a corpse--- that's why he doesn't have the sense of pain. the man called noroi does not exist in this world... noroi is really a corpse controlled by the madougu bakuju! however, corpses will rot one day... then-- bakuju will look for a new body. and now!! the body bakuju wants......
noroi : I want... (put the mask back on)
recca : don't tell me...
fuuko : right now, he's fighting...... domon?
domon (SUPER scared) : YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING!!! (run away) noooooooo--
nemi : ah-- domon's running away! did he lose his will to fight!?
tokiya : he turned back into that cowardly domon. ...no, worse than before.
kagero : but... and I thought he changed...
kaoru : after something like, even rocky would want to run away...
(noroi shoots a energy beam and hits domon's calf, he falls)
domon : EE!! (BANG)
noroi (lift domon up holding on to his neck) : don't injure the body I want, domon...!!
domon : guuu!
noroi : from now on that body's mine... my old one is much ruined by you!
domon : ...... you know... I'm getting pissed off... (explode) why the fuck do I need a dependent like you!!! no fucking way, you asshole!!! I'm telling you, my body---!! belongs to fuuko!!!
(fuuko blushes a little, more like a sweatdrop... ^^;;)
recca (clap, clap, look at her funny) : soo...
fuuko (super deformed) : NO WAY!!!
domon (sweating) : I'll fight till the end! I'm also a hokage!!
audience (cheer) : that's the spirit, domon!!! never give up!!!
inoko : GOOD LU--CK, domon-chan!
(inside domon's body, that madougu he swallowed by accident is melting...?!! and a kanji word appears on domon's forehead, it means iron)
domon : SO HOT!
yanagi (realizes first) : look, domon-kun's forehead has a word on it...!!
kagero : tetsu...? old man!! is that madougu...
old man :now I remember. tetsugan!!! what a coincident... no, I should say luck and strength. he actually used the madougu correctly! putting it inside the body to draw out super power, madougu, tetsugan!!
noroi (throws domon up in the air) : enough talk...
domon : uaa!
noroi (about to punch) : I'll smash that ugly face of yours. all I want is the body...!
old man : look! domon is transforming!!
recca : huh?
fuuko : transform!!?
domon (his whole body's shining...) : !!?
end of volume 12 chapter 3
yukie's note : hey people who have websites, go check out my adoption agency for the recca characters, I adopted raiha already, duh... he's MINE, ALL MINE!!! but meanwhile, I get obsessed over the pix I made myself, I'm such a baka... I look around and one minute I want to adopt joker, and the next I want to adopt rasen... they are all my fav. though I think it's obvious tokiya, fuuko and kaoru are going to be gone really fast... wait... did I forget to mention recca??? ^^;;

volume 12 chapter 04
Volume 12 Chapter 4 : Transformation
old man : look!! domon is transforming!!
(domon's body is shining like a lamp)
audience (cover their faces) : huh!!? what's that light......!!?
recca : transform!?
fuuko (close eyes) : is it because of the madougu he ate?
yanagi (dumb imagination) : [---into that... (think of a monster) --or that? (imagine another monster)]
kagero : [yanagi-chan... how come you're becoming more and more childish?]
noroi (ready to punch) : no matter what happens, you will still die, domon! I'll smash your face!! that body will become my new body! HAHAHAH!!!
(BANG, punch, everyone's quiet, the audience sits in suspence)
audience : the light--- is gone...
(and all the smoke is gone, and it is revealed that noroi basically just perfectly hit domon's face, and the sound that something just cracked.)
menou : ......!!! what? that sound... what is it!?
mikoto : hohohoho... such a pleasant sound. it's the sound of cracked skull and broken head. now... hokage's domon--- is dead.
(hokage is so shocked, yanagi covers her face)
old man : [too late? tetsugan didn't start working yet!?]
recca : DOMONNNN--!! (running for domon)
fuuko : ...... (fall down) no... way... (crying, trembling) no way. you beat sekiou... and minamio... you were just so spirited... there's no way... no way... [DOMON......!!] (flashbacks of when domon fought all his previous battles, fuuko crying) DOMOOOO--N!!!
mikoto (nasty smile) : noroi will continue to win... and using domon's corpse as his new body...
noroi : yes... heheh... from now on you are noroi...!!
(suddenly his metal hand begins to break apart, and just explodes.)
noroi : !?
recca (trip and fall) : !
(everyone's shocked, joker, mikoto, the old man seems to be smiling, fuuko stopped crying, domon standing before them, alive and well.)
domon : you called, fuuko? (fuuko smiles)
audience : uooooooo---!!! he's alive, he's still alive----!!!
recca (big smile) : domon!!!
fuuko (wipe away tears) : d... damn!! what the hell! why didn't you say sooner that you were alright!!
domon : actually, I thought I was finished too, (the word tetsu glowing on his forehead) but don't worry anymore!!
tokiya : that sound was noroi's hand breaking... his face is harder than stone.
yanagi : is that the power of that marble!? mysterious old man!
old man : umm.
yanagi : but... didn't you say something about transforming... [?] how come nothing changed?
arrow (point to yanagi) : really want to see a transformation.
old man : no... [he has already changed.]
noroi (rush at domon) : damn you!! you just got lucky!
old man : look closely, yanagi-chan. he has the mark "tetsu" on his forehead--- didn't his body also get a little tanned? placed inside the body and will initiate to turn the user's body into iron! it's called tetsugan!! its strength far surpasses the weapon of stone, sekichuu!!
(domon just stands there and the other hand that noroi punches him with breaks also. I can see that noroi is very pissed)
audience : t... that wasn't luck!! this time the land hand...!!!
noroi : EHHHHHHH!! why did this happen!? domon, domon, domoooooon!!!
domon : I'm not holding back.
(punch many times, noroi falls down)
recca : GREAT!!
kaoru (jump up) : we win---!!
(domon goes up to noroi, and suddenly...)
domon : ! (noroi's face is bare) THE MASK IS GONE!? what? did it fly off just now!?
(something coming at him from behind very fast...)
noroi : domooooon!!
domon : ?
(too late, the mask sticks on to his face)
domon : UH!!!
fuuko (shock) : the mask...!?
domon (trying to pull it off) : GAAAA!!
noroi : not bad, domon... more the reason why I want your body... but the one who gets the final laugh will be me, bakuju!! AHAHAHAH---!! (domon still trying...)
mikoto : don't you get it? noroi's madougu bakuju is that mask! some higher level madougu is capable of obtaining their own will!! such as fuuko-san's fuujin... or raiha's raijin...
recca : what's gonna happen to domon!
old man : the worst...... he will become the new noroi! if he is still under the iron status, he could possibly defend against it... but tetsugan has a weakness...
(domon is still trying to get the mask off, but meanwhile, his skin is beginning to return normal)
kaoru : his skin color returned to normal!!
old man : yes. affective time is short if one's not used to it!! then, domon must depend on his own strength. if he loses himself, his spirit and conscience will be destroyed by bakuju--- the man called domon will disappear, and the new noroi will be born!!
toraha (sweatdrop) : errr~~~ then it's hard to decide which side wins.
arrow (toraha) : uncaring
recca : [you're my rival, ishijima domon......!! you can't possibly forget yourself!!]
aki : [you're still the man who broke kotodama aki's illusion!! don't be a joke and be finished off at this level....!!]
gashakura : [think!! what happened to your strength that you used to beat back my brother's houmashin!!]
(suddenly...)
everyone : ......!?
nemi : DOMON'S MOVEMENTS--- HAVE STOPPED-------!!!

volume 12 chapter 05
(in mori koran's castle, the guests in masks are watching the current match between domon and noroi on the big screen)
nemi : domon's movements--- have stopped---!!
guests : ah! how unbelievable!! what do you think is gonna happen... I bet a fortune on uruha kurenai. huh, you too? hokage is still no match for them. seems like everyone's hoping that the hokage loses. I'll enjoy watching them die......!
(mori koran standing by the door, talking to a shadow behind him)
mori koran : ...... kurei? have you learned to control people's minds well? do you want to make them angry at the fact that you did not appear and decrease the effectiveness of their skills... it's really unnecessary, the difference is such a landslide.
kurei : yes... there's no need for me to appear. uruha kurenai are all elite warriors. however--- (eyes narrow) there's one thing bothering me...
Volume 12 Chapter 5 : Virus and Vaccine
(in the arena, noroi's mask now on domon's face)
recca : domon...
(everyone else seems worried, suddenly, domon takes a step forward.)
nemi : what is happening!? (domon walking toward mikoto) domon is walking toward the enemy corner!
fuuko : don't go there, domon---!! come on...!! you are a member of the hokage---!!!
mikoto : that's useless. he won't listen to you. his consciousness is being destroyed right now. have you heard of "computer virus"? they invade into normal programs, and create chaos-- right now, the program called domon is being destroyed. by the virus bakuju...
recca : .........!!
(meanwhile, this is inside domon's head)
domon : ......huh? eh!? what... is this place!?
(he's standing in an endless space of blackness with floating balls or marbles, with people's faces on them.)
domon : so many strange marbles... and inside is... mikagami? (that marble breaks) AH! mikagami's marble!!? it... it broke...? ......... ...... who the hell is mikagami anyway? (kneel down holding his head) i... must go now... but... where? where am I going? where was I just now? (another marble cracks, domon looks up in frightful confusion) who... am I? what the hell am I? AHHHHHH (bakuju, the mask, laughing in the distance)
bakuju : heheh... this is inside your conscience. when the time comes that all your memories are deleted... you will become the same as noroi!! (other marble crystals breaking) see... very soon... you will... (domon watching his hands fading in shock) disappear.....
(suddenly one crystal radiates, domon sees it and turns around)
domon : !
bakuju : what? that memory crystal... did not break!?
domon (standing in front of it) : this crystal... what's this light... (look inside) what... is it... ha...
(it's recca, duh...)
domon : [hanabishi! (flashback) hey, you're the hanabishi recca that fuuko mentioned!?]
recca (vein) : [yeah~~~? and who the hell are you? asshole. what kinda hair cut is that.]
domon (exploding in recca's explosives) : [HEYYYY---!?]
recca (leaving) : ninja technique, hibashira jigoku *fire hell*.
domon (back to in his conscience, watching his memory and smile) : heheh... memorable moments. that was our first meeting...
recca (flashback, remember vol 1?) : [if you actual beat me, I'll be your shinobi. that's if you win, mwahahahah!]
domon : yeah, yeah, he said that, he said that. when he became yanagi's shinobi, I thought he really lost, what a shock... (pause) yanagi? (another crystal glows, domon looks) yanagi's crystal...?
yanagi (flashback) : [i... I'll be the offering! I want to do something! I want to make an effort!]
domon : ... yeah... she's hanabishi's chosen master! it takes courage... she's a good girl!! she is the reason why we must win! (mikagami and kaoru's crystal gets restored) our companions!! I AM ISHIJIMA DOMON!!!
bakuju (shock) : wh... what!? your conscience recovered!! that's...!!!
domon (look at another crystal) : and how can I forget! right? fuuko-sama *heart*
(on the outside world, domon has suddenly stopped walking)
recca : huh?
fuuko : now what!!?
mikoto : ...? what's wrong, bakuju. hurry up and get over here...
(some changes occur in domon)
bakuju : uhhhhh ahhhhhh...... m... m... mikoto! vaccine!! the power of the virus has met the vaccine in this guy!! such amazing... mental strength!!!!
(domon punches his own face and breaks the mask on his head, mikoto is shocked, inoko is cheering and... all the hokage...)
recca : d......!! DOMON--!!
toraha : hokage, domon victory!!!
recca : domon!!!
domon (climbing back up) : [heh.] ...... hanabishi-- (slap hands) [it was the strength of my unwillingness to lose to you... how ironic... that saved me.]
fuuko (jump in and beat up domon) : what the fuck are you acting all cool for! you made everyone so worried--!!
(poor domon is all beat up, fuuko sama seems rather mad, and recca is getting as far away as possible. meanwhile, someone explain to me why the english words "14 hit monster!" appear on top of fuuko's attack... ^^;;)
domon (pitiful) : [sorry--]
tokiya (think) : sad...
audience : great work!! that was brilliant!! great, domon!! (sudden silence) ...... hey......
(recca sharply turns around, kurei walks in from the other end)

tokiya : [he's came---]
fuuko : [he's came......]
kagero : [he came! kurei......!]
kurei : in apologizing for my rudeness, I have appeared--- as we promised.
Volume 12 Chapter 6 : Destruction
audience : k... kurei!! (note that neon and raiha ^^;; are both part of the audience too...)
kurei : ishijima domon-kun--- (clap) my respect for your strength. you've became a completely different person since our first meeting at the mansion. but I do want to know. noroi couldn't simply control someone which such mental strength like you... but the truth, did you win because you didn't lose yourself--
domon (scratch head, blush a little) : well, yeah.
fuuko (scream in his ears) : what's so good about being complimented by him!!
kurei : or was it the anger of having your friend killed? saicho-kun... is that his name? hahah...
(the hokage coldly glare at him, they clearly remember when joker slashed saicho, who is still laying in a coma)
recca : kurei... so it was your order?
kurei : that was rather unlike you--- joker. I thought... my order was "kill koganei".
(kaoru is shocked)
joker : what the hell. you get here so late, and you're lecturing me? (not too respectful to kurei here... but their relationship is like that...) so what if I messed it up.
mikoto : joker!! how dare you have such an attitude to kurei-sama...... (raise her fan) unforgivable!!
joker (smile) : ...what? wanna play, mikoto nee-san. we're on the same side you know.
mikoto : damn you...!
kurei (blocks mikoto) : that's enough, joker, you never liked to follow orders. what were you thinking this time?
joker (whistle) : we~~ll, that's a secret ^.^
kurei : I see... it's not bad for a fair 5 on 5. thank you for making that mistake so I can keep my sportsmanship... after all, he is only trash.
recca (very mad) : bastard...!! just say that one more time, asshole!!
old man (olds recca back) : wait, recca!!!
recca : let go of me, you stupid old man!!!
old man : cool your head, moron!!! can't you tell he did made you angry on purpose!? how can you do anything under such conditions!!! just look at koganei!
recca : ! (looks)
(kaoru standing next to him, he just stood quietly, not saying anything, yet in his mind, all the flashbacks of his past with kurei comes back)
kaoru : ...kurei. I just came to ask you one thing. is the old kurei gone... I want to know! please answer me!
kurei : .........
old man : see! he's mature like an adult, unlike somebody else!
recca (blush, kinda insulted... ^.^) : ......
joker (wide smile) : kurei-san, I'll just tell ya. why I didn't kill him! other than recca, kaoru's existence can bother you so... how very interesting. (kurei glares)
fuuko (BIG SMILE) : well! who's going second!? fuuko-chan!?
domon : me, go again?
fuuko : lay off! moron!
kaoru : me!
kagero (sweatdrop) : they're not worried at all...
kaoru (someone walk past him) : !
tokiya (step out) : I'm going.
audience (shock) : EHHHHH--!! the water swordsman mikagami!!!
girls (faint) : u~h. mii-sama.
guy : hmph~~ what's so good about that girly guy.
guy2 : yeah, boss!!
toraha (excited) : AHHH! mikagami-kun (heart)
label : toraha is a mikagami fan.
(satomi, the other ref comes running along and slaps toraha out of the way)
satomi : change of referee after each round! the snake ref, I'm satomi!! I'm 22, a mikagami fan!!
toraha (in the back with a big bump on her head) : you're five years older than mikagami......
guy : I liked her a lot... (tears streaming)
guy 2 : you crying, boss?
satomi : mikagami tokiya, record!! three of three, perfect!! using the water sword for his many beautiful techniques!! his opponent uruha kurenai is---
(mikoto steps forward)
audience (shock) : mikoto!!? that's the evil woman in the nou mask!?
(suddenly, the mysterious man in cloak, kai, blocks her way.)
kai : no, let me take this one. I'm fighting that man.
mikoto : damn you...!
(but kai jumped into the ring already.)
kai : nice to meet you, mikagami tokiya. I'm one of the uruha jyushinshuu-- kai.
tokiya : [...... this man...]
(they face each other)
mikoto : we can't allow his disobedience, kurei-sama! the original jihou was me...
kurei : it's alright, mikoto-- to kai, mikagami... is a deeply related opponent---
(as kai and tokiya still in the middle of their little stalemate...)
old man : ......well, don't got a lot of time. let's go, recca!
domon : ?
recca : go... where? we're in the middle of the tournament!!
old man : kurei's not gonna come out until the end. remember I told you, you can't beat him right now? come to become stronger!!
recca : I won't lose!! you wanna test me, damn you!! I'm righting to protect my princess! I can die! but I can't lose!!
(yanagi looks up)
text : I can die...
old man (taking off his sunglasses) : you idiot, why do you mention death all the time? do you think yanagi-chan will be happy, moron--!! don't you want to live longer and have confidence that you'll win!!
recca : uh... w... who are you anyway!! how can we trust a someone we don't know at all!
old man (serious) : save your effort for kurei...... I'll take you away by force!! (walk up and pat recca's arm) are they what made you so sure of yourself...
recca : !?
old man (fingers going down the tattoos) : nadare... saiha...
recca : hey-- what are you doing, old man!?
old man (continues) : homura... setsuna... (everyone stares in curiosity) madoka... rui... (suddenly) DISAPPEAR!!!
(a bright light shines, and recca falls down)
recca : huh---!? what the hell was that!! (look down) huh? (SHOCK) !
(the tattoos on his arms are gone)
fuuko : the marks of the flame dragons...!!
domon : disappeared!!?
tokiya : ......?
raiha (attempt to call his dragons) : nadare!! saiha!! rui!!! (attempt in vain) ...... come out... (sweating)
old man (leaving) : come with me.

recca (in deep shock) : eight dragons...... come... out...
yanagi : the mark of the flame dragons... has disappeared...!
domon (wide eye) : what... the hell?
recca : old man... what did you do...?
Volume 12 Chapter 7 : The World of Sand
old man (turn around and leave) : come with me.
recca : go with you now--- we're in the middle of a tournament!
old man (disappear) : as long as you get back before kurei's match, it's alright! if you don't come, the flame dragons will never be back!!
(recca freezes in shock, then gets blown away by a huge scream blown in his ear)
hokage : what the hell are you standing here for, moron!!!
fuuko : take back what's yours! we're be waiting.
domon : I don't really know what that old man is, or what he is thinking. I just don't think he's an enemy! [he gave me the marble.]
kaoru : we'll take care of it while you're not here! we'll save your turn for you, nii-chan!!
recca (a little touched) : guys... (big smile) thanks a lot!! I'll be back!! (scream down to the ring) mikagami! if you lose, I'll really kick your ass!
tokiya (vein pop) : no idea what you're doing, but just go.
recca (turn to yanagi) : princess!!
(big smile, thumbs up, yanagi's startled for a moment and recca runs off)
yanagi : [although I don't really know what that old man is up to... but, please come back safely. I believe in you...... then... when the tournament is over... let's go back to school. (flashback of when they were in school) let's go to the amusement park together. will you help me with my picture books?]
mikoto : hoho... hokage's captain ran away? how cowardly to run in front of the enemy.
domon : he went to the bathroom.
fuuko : you ugly!!
(domon and fuuko give her the finger, kaoru makes a stick tongue out cat face, and yanagi... well, she's trying to learn the hand signal, but turns out all wrong)
yanagi : e...h
arrow (point to her pathetic hand sign) : don't know the sign for FUCK.
recca (running around in this empty hallway) : ---I came but...... (pissed off) where is that old man!!? maybe he's really one of the uruha people!?
(turn around the corner and notices something on the wall, a mirror.)
recca : a mirror!!? why is it--- (reach out a hand) so strange here... (hand reaches into the mirror) !? (gets sucked in) HUUUHHHH!!?
(mirror disappears, and recca lands on the other end of another dimension)
recca (fall down) : OUCH!!! ah--- pu pu!! (spit) I got sand in my mouth... (then comes the realization) ......sand? (looks around, he's standing in a total desert) what is... this place!?
old man (suddenly appear) : so you finally came.
recca (turn around, surprised) : ! there you are! OLD MAN!!
old man (V) : hey!
recca : what the hell is this place!? egypt!? tottori county's desert!?
old man : you'll have the answers soon. and since you're kinda dumb, it's harder to explain. I'll give you a series of tests here, but before that-- I want you to look at your own memory. whether it's recent or long in the forgotten past.
recca (more pissed off) : stop blabbing on!!! we have no time! (suddenly an image pop up in front of him) !
(it was his home town, the hokage village)
recca : wha'ts this!? (starry eyes) shinobi's homeland? so cool.
old man : the home of the hokage about 400 years ago. where you were born... from these two people---
(looking through baby recca's eyes, there was kagero with a gentle smile and ouka with a really dumb smile ^.^)
kagero : [ouka dono! don't hug too tight, recca will cry. be a little more gentle...]
recca : heheh... kaa-chan. she's got long hair. but it suits her! she's really pretty!!
ouka (SUPER deformed face, damn... I don't even see recca this deformed) : [oh, come one, kagero!!the flame master's sun does not cry so easily!! MHUWAHAHAHAH]
recca (looks kinda dead) : ... this really dumb guy's my real dad... not like me at all...
old man : no way, you're really alike!!
(suddenly, a series of flashbacks of arguments in front of the elder between reina and kagero over who is the successor, then kurei standing over him with a knife in one hand)
kurei : [recca... you will... die...]
(blood spills, recca touches the wound on the side of his cheek)
recca : kurei...
(scenes of war, kagero kneeling alone in the forest with baby recca)
kagero : it's war-- (tears flowing down) [but as long as I'm alive... we'll meet again......] (use time space spell)
old man : kagero... age 22 at that time... because she used the forbidden jikuu ryuuri spell, she was cursed to remain at that age forever.
kagero (flashback to their... second meeting?) : kill me...... recca...
recca : [although I heard this before... but--- this time it feels much more real...
(and then another image appears before him, and that's yanagi, in her school uniform.)
yanagi : [thank you so much for saving me. my name is sakoshita yanagi.]
recca : my first meeting-- with princess.
yanagi (another flashback of her blocking in front of recca) : [please don't pick on hanabishi-kun anymore! he's already hurt!! (another scene of yanagi eating a bunch of bread and buns) sorry. but if I don't move fast, they'll all be sold out. you want one?]
(then scenes of yanagi giving blood to recca in the mirro house, and getting electricuted at kurei's mansion. then she stands in front of the registration table.)
yanagi : [I'll do it!! I will be the prize!! don't leave me... (smile) recca-kun.]
old man : do you understand? your responsibility... it's easy to act like a ninja and say "I'll die to protect you." but what are the people left behind gonna do? kagero will be alone again... and yanagi---
recca (suddenly look up with a big smile) : old man!! I'm gonna live!! you have any ways to make me stronger!?
old man (seems a little shocked, a little relieved) : ...that took long enough! then lets begin... (something coming at them from the sand) but whether you can be stronger is up to you. (and that something jumps out of the sand)

Volume 12 Chapter 8 : Second Challenge
(something jumps out of the sand... actually many things...)
recca : ! (shock) HUH!!? what!? shooting flames? or is that a warm spring!?
(and then everything quiets down)
recca (sweatdrop, not noticing someone's approaching) : and it's gone.....i don't get it.
old man (turn around) : hey, over here!
(recca looks too, and there's a man and a woman, the girl's pretty, the guy's kinda cute with standing hair, both wearing ninja clothing)
recca (wide eye) : ...... old man! who are they?
old man : you'll see. (sit down with a magazine) you should know them very well. you two take care of this from now on!
(the woman walks up and smiles)
woman : this is our second meeting. here I come, recca!
recca (surprised) : second time!? [who is this!!?]
woman (hold up one hand) : you... still don't know?
(a long stream of flame comes out of her hand, recca is just shocked... gee, another flame master...)
recca : ! [flame master!!?]
(all the flames turn into fire balls, and the face of a dragon appears briefly)
woman : my nameis--- nadare...
recca (super deformed, I take it back what I said before that I've never seen recca so deformed as ouka... now I do...) : NADAREEE!!?
(a fire ball aims for recca, he jumps up and dodges it.)
recca : heh!
nadare : don't run away!! don't you want my power again!?
recca : my power...? then... that means--- you are...? (sweatdrop)
old man : is this the first time you've seen her like this? that woman really is nadare of the eight dragons. the eight dragons were all once great flame masters!! (nadare attacks again)
recca : damn it!! {eight dragons... was once human!!?]
(a big explosion in front of recca)
nadare : don't depend on other powers, recca! can't you defeat my flame without any help!? (recca suddenly looks up) when you faced us the first time, you just used your bare hands! you challenged us without any fear!! because of your courage, we recognized you as our master one by one!! maybe, we're beginning to like you!! (holds a fire ball) but if it is our power that makes you over confident, then it's a different story!!
recca : .........
nadare (very careful with her flame) : ... this is my final attack. this fire ball will be the concentration of all my powr. lets try again--- (smile) and find the answer.
(she pushes her fire ball flying toward recca.)
recca : [...it's true that I've become a little too dependent on the flame dragons... now I finally understand why you disappeared. but... to become stronger, I'll do anything to make you come back!! I'll show you... (fire ball heading straight for him) I can handle this alone!! (catches the fire ball with all his strength)]
nadare (surprised) : HUH!!
recca : GAAAA! (catches the fireball, and it finally disintegrates in his hand)
nadare (smile) : well done! but... what are you going to do next?
(the man rush at recca, a flame appears around his arm)
man : my name is--- SAIHA!!!
(he attacks with his flame blade, recca blocks with his hand armor)
saiha : defend with the hand armor! not bad. but...
(he pushes and force recca to turn his body a little)
recca : eh!?
saiha : when your right arm is behind you... (attack) what are you going to do, recca!!
(recca catches the blade with his bare left hand, though it bleeds.)
saiha (surprised) : ah...
(and recca does a big BANG punch and knocks him out.)
recca (blowing on his hand, fuu fuu, sweating) : ouch~~~, that hurts!!! you actually hit me for real.
saiha : recca! I believe in your strength and courage in the face of danger! that's my opinion after fighting by your side.
nadare : I have my answer. we still like our master.
saiha : we've decided to return to recca's body.
old man : oh, really?
nadare & saiha : [let us... fight together again! recca!!
(they turn into dragons and returns to recca's body, the two tattoos are back on his arm.)
recca (smile) : nadare... saiha...
old man : didn't you ask "what is this place"? your memories...... the flame dragons... have you figured it out yet? this is inside yourself--- nowhere else but hanabishi recca's world. (interesting how recca's world is a big desert... ^^;;) so far you've understood two things and became stronger. it is the will to live and not death that continues to fight! and do not depend on the eight dragons! well...! there are four more dragons that disappeared! plus two that didn't come out yet!!
recca : ...not anyone can make the flame dragon tattoos disappear.
old man : eh!?
recca : guess I know who you really are! just watch! (big confident smile) I'll make you part of my power!!
kokuu : heeheehee I'm be waiting, landlord!!
(the shadow of a one eyed dragon appears behind him.)

TOKIYA MIKAGAMI
AGE--16
SEX--MALE
BLOOD TYPE--A
BIRTHDAY--11.13 (SCORPION)
(recca in the desert world, looking around cluelessly.)
recca : huh? (a whirl pool opens in the sand) now what? an ant hill!?
(a man rises from the sand, an image of another flame dragons appears behind him.)
recca : that's...
old man : hm. that's homura! when he was human, he was a very skilled whip master... he can hit anything, no matter how small, inside his range. (whipping a little bug... ^^;;) of course, the form of his flame is---
(homura summons his flame, which is obviously a whip)
homura : let's have some fun with my flame whip. I'm warning you, I'm not so easy as nadare or saiha!!
recca : homura... we met during the fight with kukai. and your help was really appreciated that time with menou. (start fight, head on) I'll make you mine once again!!
(meanwhile, scene shifts to mikagami... with a very loud audience)
audience : killllll!! I hate this sissy from the start! (and another guy with bald head says...) all men should shave their head!! (tokiya gives them a really cold glare) uhhhh, he's looking this way. (the bald guy) you and your big mouth!! (they're really scared now...)
domon : I don't know. mi-chan really minds this stuff.
kaoru : they'll be in trouble later. [he hates being mistaken for a girl.]
yanagi : amazing!! I'll be really nervous up there just with all those booing! really nervous!!
fuuko : he's a very calm and dependable guy! that mikagami.
kagero : but don't be over confident--- that guy... kai. a member of the jyushinshuu... can't be that easy.
(kai moving forward and raises whatever madougu is wrapped in that big cloth)
kai : the water swordsman mikagami tokiya...... I heard you're pretty good. (his madougu breaks out of the cloth) as for who's better--- (his madougu is some curved blade... I won't tell you want it is yet, but most of you should know already...) we'll find out.
tokiya (take a bottle of water and makes ensui) : I don't mind if you want to test out...... but I have a personal question to ask you.
kai : heheh... fine. I know what you want. but... how are you going to ask it?
tokiya (raises ensui) : fine-- you're asking for it...
satomi : match 2 of the finals!! mikagami vs. kai!! BEGIN!! (and both of them just zoom and disappears)
domon (shock) : they disappeared!?
kaoru : no, it's their amazing speed!
audience (point) : I see it! up there!!
(tokiya and kai, contact and separate very quickly. and switch back to the sand world.)
recca (fall down) : AH! damn~~~ you!! you're a difficult bastard!!
homura : you've made 14 useless empty hits. even idiots have a limit... my whip moves at will! no matter how you dodge, it will hit you!!
old man : you should've known that he's an idiot back when you were inside his body.
homura : hahah... that's true. (suddenly) ...where... did he go? (apparently recca disappeared)
(homura looks around, nothing, and then he sees the sand rises a little behind him)
homura : ! (turn around) there...! KAA!!!
(he attacks and something flies off... turns out to be clothing)
homura : shinobi suit!?
recca (now attacks from above) : HYAAAAA--!!! (punch homura)
old man (big eyes pop out) : OOO.
homura : uh... diversion attack......!!
recca : did you get used my movements after repeating the same thing more than 10 times? but that's not useless! right now... mikagami is fighting in the real world. I'll be ashamed to see him if I waste any time here!
homura (smile slightly, pat recca on the shoulder) : fooling a shinobi senpai with ninja techniques. interesting guy...... (disappear) [good luck......!!] (recca's got one more tattoo back)
old man : [the six dragons that disappeared--- half of them are back already......]
(back to the tokiya fight, he and kai separate after the contact, his right arm is wounded.)
yanagi : mikagami senpai!!
mikoto : hoho... kai... doing pretty well.
kurei : .........
mikoto : he didn't need-- the power of his madougu at all? hohoho...
tokiya (eyes narrow) : hm...ph... (thinks about recca)
recca (flashback...) : mikagami--- if you lose, I'll kick you ass---!!
nemi : -- what happened? mikagami-san suddenly stopped. did he lose the will to fight?
kukai : hmph... don't be stupid. who do you think he is?
(mikagami gives kai a thumb down. and with the motion of his arm, the cloak kai is wearing tears apart... delayed reaction !? ^^;;)
kai : !?
audience : the cloak!! when did that happen!? we can see kai's face!
tokiya : our leader is very strict. I'll be too ashamed to face him if I lose to you.

Volume 12 Chapter 10 : The Power of Kai
audience (stare intensely) : ...kai's cloak--- is torn......!!
(tokiya looks calm enough, and a man walks out from the torn cloak pieces. very muscular, got lots of braided hair and not wearing a shirt, oh... and his madougu's connected to his hand, somehow...)
fuuko : that's... kai!!
kagero : w... what's this aura! once the cloak fell... his power has completely been uncovered!?
kaoru : he unleashed his strength. then... he wants an all out fight with mikagami...
domon : he means that play is over!
kurei : heheh... had a nice nap, mikagami-kun? because the nightmare is about to begin.
yanagi (looks worried) : [mikagami senpai... what is... this bad feeling...]
(kai laugh evilly, back to recca...)
text : and recca right now---
(well, he's facing this kinda chubby, nice and gentle looking guy which a very nice smile. recca on the other hand... is kinda pissed)
recca : SAIHA!! (attack) yaaa!! (his attack is met by a barrier) WHAT!?
madoka : you can't hit me, forget it!! the power of the eight dragons is about the same, idiot! alright! if you get to make me move one step, I'll join you, how's that? isn't madoka-sama a nice guy? heheheh!
recca (VERY pissed off) : I'M PISSED OFF------- you appear to be very nice but you're really the worst!! [now I see your true value]
old man : you said, "old man! I wanna become stronger!!" (jump up and down) if you can't even get the basic dragons back, how can you control them!
recca (VEINS) : fuck...!! you're also a slick bastard...!!
nadare : [don't be angry... the king of barriers, madoka is not perfect.]
saiha : [all the dragons have their weaknesses! you must learn them.]
homura : [knowing you own weaknesses will make you strong!!]
recca : [...! the returned flame dragons!!] ...alright!! I'll show you!!
(madoka still smiles, and switch over to tokiya's side)
kai : ...didn't you say--- you wanted to ask me something, mikagami tokiya. heheheh... well... don't tell me... it's about the death of your sister?
(a flashing image of mifuyu, tokiya's heartbeat.)
kai (looks really evil) : I see!!! I guessed right!!!
(flashback... tokiya's heart beats faster and faster, the man with numerous earrings, holding a knife. kai attacks)
kai : hahah! I know, I know!! I'll tell you...!! let me tell you!! (tokiya blocks, kai attacks more) but!! let's see first--- if you can beat me!
(tokiya falls down, breathing heavily.)
audience : he... he's stronge!! that mikagami... is completely pressured!!
neon (did I mention she was wrapped in bandages? from kurei's beating...) : however... mikagami won't fall so easily. he has strong secret techniques.
raiha : secret techniques? is he strong? I can only see that he's not moving too swiftly.
domon : ... did you hear that?
fuuko : yeah... something about his sister's death...
kagero : I knew it... that man...... he also... have other reasons to fight here......
tokiya : [seven years ago... my sister was killed. since then--- revenge has become the reason for my life!!]
yanagi : then...! that man is mikagami senpai's...!?
tokiya : --- if... you are the one I searched for... then it's wonderful. unbelievable... I'm thrilled. uncontrolled excitement! (a really cold, evil, however you want to call it... scary? expression) nee-san--- I'll find the answer......
neon : [is it here!? that man's power!! the magical sword with the element of water...!!]
(tokiya sticks ensui into the ground, and ice begins to rise)
neon : [hyoumon ken!!]
tokiya : tsurara mai!! (ice attack via the ground)
kai : ...... hyoumon ken... hehehe, fine!
(the crystal on his madougu shines. he plunges it to the ground and breaks tokiya's attack.)
domon : he broke tsurara mai!?
kaoru : and that was... what he used!! tsurara mai!!?
kai : wha'ts wrong, mikagami... you seem rather shocked. you're not the only one who can use hyoumon ken.
(a word appears on the crystal of his madougu, ice.)
