Volume 15 Chapter 1 : The Sixth Form, Initiate
(joker has created a big gravity field which probably took up most of the ring and kaoru has been forced to the edge.)
domon : what a great gravity field!!
fuuko : if this continues, he'll be pushed out by the weight!
joker (smile) : this is over!! koganei-kun!!
(kaoru is pointing his kougon anki in it's fifth form, the bow, at joker)
kaoru : [this is it... KOGANEI!!!]
kokuu (flashback) : [I can only tell you the name of that form--- the sixth form is...... MU *nothing*!! becomes nothingness, and the formless returns to formation. take that into your heart.
(kaoru shoots the arrow at joker)
joker : moron... in this field, the gravity is very heavy! which means that attack......
(of course the arrow falls to the ground before it could ever reach him due to heavy gravity)
joker (smile) : see. like that. (suddenly looks very shocked/deformed) EH----!? (kaoru's gone) [o... oh no!! I pushed him off for real!!]
audience (covering faces) : it's over...!! the hokage lost!!
yanagi (pointing) : uh...
(kaoru has really made a flip into midair)
joker (look up) : ! you're going up, but that won't work!! you'll hit the ground!
kaoru (smile) : I'll beat you first. the puzzle is complete!! (suddenly breaks apart kougon anki) SIXTH FORM--- MU!
joker (a VERY deformed look) : !!? it broke apart!!?
saicho (smile) : [you finally got it... kaoru-kun...]
kaoru : [becomes nothingness----]
(the chain of kougon anki first is thrown at joker and ties him up...)
joker : EHHHHH!!
kaoru : [and the formless returns to formation------]
(the crystal of kougon anki glows at the end of the chain)
kaoru : FORM, KOUGON ANKI!!
(and all the pieces of kougon anki flies at joker)
joker : hahah... [are you kidding...?] koganei-kun......... [you are... really amazing...]
(all the pieces hits joker, and kaoru lands on the ground)
kaoru : sixth form----- mu...
kagero : that boy finally understands kougon anki's final form during the battle. the illusionary form... the formless entity, that is mu!
(joker's trident hits the ground.)
kagero : and all those pieces will gather back around the magic crystal. so to form... kougon anki itself!
(joker pulls out all the pieces of kougon anki that's stabbing him)
kagero : and plus, the pieces falls with even greater speed with the heavy gravity. no matter how strong joker is, he couldn't have dodged!
joker (spits out blood) : GAA!!
(he throws all the pieces on the ground and they immediately form back into kougon anki. kaoru holds up anki in a victorious pose)
joker : heheheh!! (everyone looks in his direction surprised, joker smiles) I'll say that I lost! (kaoru looks at him surprised) today--- that's all!!
(midori knelt down and grabbed kaoru's hand)
midori : here! (holds up the mike) JOKER GIVES UP!! AND THE WINNER!! K O G A N E I !!!
audience (deafening cheer) : koganei!! koganei!! koganei!
(then joker walks up and hits kaoru on the head, kaoru looks up curiously)
joker : just telling ya I can still fight like this. but there no fun in a definite victory, right? PRESENT FOR YOU!! (the same thing he said when he threw mikoto into the crowd... and it's in english "purezento foo yuu"... ^.^)
kaoru (big smile) : ...joker, you... you never meant to kill saicho from the beginning, right?
joker (walking off the center ring) : my hand slipped! [well... next time!! that was interesting...] huh? (he was about to fall but menou helped hold him up)
menou : eh.
joker : ?
menou (smile) : it must be horrible pretending to be a bad guy.
joker (very cute/funny face) : m... menou-chan...... (he looks like he doesn't know what to do ^.^)
menou : you saved me once. so I know you're not a real bad guy!
audience (whistling) : [oooh--- I'm jealous--!!]
text (saicho smiles) : battle time 38 minutes 14 second. koganei vs. joker. (kaoru smiles back with a peace sign) koganei victorious--- then, (all the hokage... meaning fuuko and domon are cheering for him... with very funny faces, and tokiya is pretending he doesn't know these people) uruha kurenai vs. hokage, 2 to 2!! FINAL MATCH!!!
(the score board jumps on, next fight... CRAY -- RECCA)
end of volume 15 chapter 1

volume 15 chapter 02
Volume 15 Chapter 2 : Tears
(audience are all looking at the CRAY - RECCA scoreboard)
audience : hey... it's cool that koganei won and pulled a tie... but what do we do now! recca is--- still... not back yet!! where the hell did recca go!! HOKAGE-----!!! come out-----!! reccaaaaa----!! recca!! you asshole!! could it be you really ran away!?
(*bang* kaoru quiets everyone by stumping his kougon anki. he looks up at kurei)
kaoru : I have to talk to you. kurei....... [I didn't fight for recca-nii-chan people. I want to know kurei's real intention! I had to see you again. even if I have to face death, or be killed, I don't care!!]
domon : nooo, koganei!! (kurei jumps into the ring) that guy... he'll... definitely...... (kurei didn't say anything)
kaoru : kurei...... (looking really serious) wasn't I good. to be able to get this far.
text (younger kaoru looking up at kurei) : we can be brothers......
kaoru : i... am only a kid so I don't understand. kurei's true feelings... can you tell me now?
(many scenes flashing by... ever since kaoru first appeared, with yanagi kidnapped, kurei abandoning him... j-kipa killing magensha, joker slicing saicho... etc, etc...)
kaoru (crying) : everything... was a lie, right? the real kurei is very gentle!! I know that!! you're only covering up!! (unties a ribbon around his right wrist) do you remember this? (there's a deep cut on his wrist, it still looks nasty though it healed many years ago.)
domon (shock) w... what's that!? underneath the handkerchief---
tokiya : that's... [the mark... of suicide...!!]
kaoru : when I escaped from the orphanage, for the first time... I stole something.
(flashback, a little boy taking a knife out of his pocket)
text : no parents, no siblings, no friends... i... why am I always alone... that's enough... not alone... I'm scared... (his hands shaking, but began to cut his right wrist) I'm scared... where do dead people go...... I don't know... that's scary too...... (cutting deeper) that's fine... compared to this------ it'll be better... it must be better...
(suddenly someone grabbed that knife and slapped him. kaoru looks up shocked, kurei *who does look so kind back then ^.^* wrapped his handkerchief around kaoru's wrist and walked away.)
text : come with me---
(kaoru is still crying but looking at his wrist with a new look)
text : ...... what is this... I'm not scared......
(end of flashback...)
kaoru : tell me!! that everything was a lie!! I don't believe it, this kurei is a lie!!
kurei : koganei... (slaps him)
fuuko & domon : !!
kurei : I was wonder... so this is your "question"? don't waste my time. (beat up kaoru more...) your head is full of such pathetic humanism... that's why I said you're only a kid.
(domon and fuuko jump in)
domon : that asshole!! I can't stand it!!
fuuko : I'm gonna kill you!!
(saicho jump in too... and mikagami)
fujimaru : saicho!?
fuuko : leave koganei alone. stupid mask guy! I'm gonna kill you!!
(so kurei's surrounded by domon, fuuko, tokiya and saicho...)
kurei : interesting...... I'll just have you people take recca's place.
end of volume 15 chapter 2
yukie's note : I've just recently read somewhere that tokiya is cuter than raiha-kun??? NO WAY!!! raiha is the cutest guy in FOR ^^;; anywayz... stop before I get carried away about how great raiha is... *sigh* I haven't updated this part in a while, have i...

volume 15 chapter 03
Volume 15 Chapter 3 : Chaotic Battle
(kurei's standing over kaoru, and the hokage people just jumped in)
domon : get away from koganei!!
fuuko : kurei!
kurei : and... if I refuse?
(saicho throws out a paper bandage and ties up kurei's hand)
saicho : even if by force----- we'll get you away!
midori (yelling at the hokage) : stop, idiots! you know nothing other than official combat is allowed!!
kurei : ...i too, want to continue the competition as planned, but my opponent recca can't be found. and his other members are picking this...... what else can I do other than clearing all this flame?
(suddenly he disappear before them)
saicho (shock) : [!! he disappeared...] ! (kurei appears right before him and knocks him over)
audience : !!
kaoru : sai... saicho! SAICHO---!! (picking up saicho, crying)
saicho (badly hurt *hey, he just recovered*, smile weakly) : ...i'm fine... hurry... run... (kaoru is crying, trembling)
midori (still ranting) : I'm ordering you to stop!!
voice : wait...
(the main screen in the center of the doom slowly opens and mori koran appears.)
mori koran : this ceremony gives them special permission.
kagero : [mori koran...!!]
yanagi : scary face... (sweatdrop)
nemi : permission!!? (jump up from her table) why do that, mori-sama!? there's no reason to bend the rules!!
mori koran : silence... (and nemi freezes, with a scared, trembling look) hanabishi recca hasn't come... that was really a cowardly escape! I could even call that forfeiting. but I'm very generous--- I'll just ask hokage... will recca come back!?
fuuko (very determined) : obviously yeah, asshole. he'll come!
mori koran : ......... then... fight with kurei until he comes!!! however if all of you die before he arrives, then I will declare hokage's loss!!
domon (rush to attack kurei first) : that's great!!
kurei : hmph... pathetic... (he grabs domon's head with one hand...)
domon : !?
(...and smashes him into the ground... his face is all smashed...)
fuuko : domon!!
kurei : one man disappeared from his fear. however his companions still trust that he will appear without any doubt. in the end, his companions, one... after another, dies off. running away for himself, and leaving the trusting companions to be killed!! (now mikagami attacks him) this... (tokiya misses)
tokiya : ?
kurei : what else could it be but pathetic. (tokiya gets hit from behind... actually, many kureis around him) that was an illusion, mikagami-kun... to think an expert like you would fall for that twice. probably because of the damage from the fight earlier. and... you're getting impatient! you're also wondering if recca won't come!! do you really trust him!? trusting him with the risk of your life!?
fuuko (attack) : shut up!
kurei (she get easily defected by kurei) : I'm telling you. HE WON'T COME!!
audience (all of them quiet) : recca...
keishuu (just him...) : recca... recca... WILL COME!! he definitely will come!!
man 1 (hope's up again) : that's right!! that guy......
man 2 : WILL COME!!
audience : RECCA!! RECCA!! RECCA! RECCA!!
kaoru : HE'LL COME. recca nii-chan will never run away. I too... believe in him. (helping saicho up)
kurei (a flame appears in his hand) : you believed in the wrong person...... die, koganei!! (blasts the flame at kaoru and saicho)
kaoru (facing the fire, with a very calm look) : [good-bye...... kurei......]
(they both disappear in the flame but... the seemingly image of kaoru turns into a few small flames)
kurei : !? an illusion!!?
recca (rui appears before kurei) : WAHAHAHAHAH!! an expert like you would fall for that!! (everyone, kukai, domon, fuuko, tokiya all have a new relieved look) were you getting impatient? I'm back!! (yanagi has tears in her eyes T.T) newcomer, hokage ninja leader!! (recca holding SD kaoru and saicho one in each hand, as he just pulled them away from kurei's flame) last name hanabishi, first name recca! at your service!!
(one of the rare moment of that serious look on his face...)
end of volume 15 chapter 3
yukie's note : xP I was just watching the FoR anime again and realized that in the subtitles they called the mouse girl "demi" (no wonder all the sites I've went to called her that...) can't blame them because nemi could sound similar and the people had nothing else to go by... but anywayz... just a note that her name is really Nemi...

volume 15 chapter 04
(with rui soaring over the ring, recca is oppositely facing kurei...)
recca : an expert like you would fall for that!! were you getting impatient? I'm back!! last name hanabishi, first name recca! AT YOUR SERVICE!!
Volume 15 Chapter 4 : Recca Is Here
(everyone smiles in relief)
domon (whose face is still bashed to the ground) : you're back...... finally... (crying... *can you believe this?*) you're finally back... asshole~.
(recca smiles slightly in reassurance at everyone and finally looks up to yanagi)
recca (big smile) : finally now, princess! (yanagi's sobbing in delight)
audience (all in relief) : re...... RECCCCAAAAAAA (huge cheer)
man 3 : everyone was so worried! you asshole!!
man 1 : where did you go, captain----!!
man 2 (point to recca) : look!! keishuu, that's him! that guy is recca!
keishuu (happy) : that person----- is hokage's leader... hanabishi... recca!
tokiya (looking at that look on recca's face) : strange...
fuuko : hn?
tokiya : recca seems different now.
fuuko (gives him a weird look) : did you lose your contacts? mi-chan. [or maybe you lost a million brain cells?] (knock him on the head)
tokiya (sweatdrop, triangle eyes ^.^) : n... no! what a rude woman! I can't really express it----- but I can feel... a cool and calm pressure......!
audience : RECCA!!! RECCA!! RECCA!! (and somebody threw a beer can and knocked right on recca's head... recca has a ^.^ look with veins popping up... and jumps into the audience crowd and starts beating everyone up... ^^;;) HOW DARE DO THAT TO ME, I'LL KICK YOUR ASS------!!
fuuko : and you were saying?
tokiya (sweatdrops) : .........
keishuu (sweatdrops) : a... amazing guy. ...seems strong...
man 1 (nod, nod) : didn't I say? he's an idiot.
man 2 (nod, nod) : yeah. really an idiot.
recca (still pissed off) : damn you! watch it or I'll unleash setsuna on you!! damn, that hurt, assholes.
fuuko : recca------
(recca turns around and looks at all of them... and he has a moment of peace shared with his teammates ^.^ and then he looks up at the scoreboard)
recca : 2 vs. 2... (smile) ......thank you!!
fuuko : seems like you got back your lost flame dragons. (the tattoos on recca's arms)
domon (smile) : you're next! hanabishi!! it's time to clear everything! risking our lives to enter this annoying tournament---- it ends here!!
recca : okay!! (reassuring smile)
kaoru : recca nii-chan...... kurei...
recca : huh?
kaoru (looks down and faintly smile) : ......... hn... nothing. (run away) good luck---!! I'll be mad if you lose!!
kagero (with a deep, sad expression on her face) : [finally, the time has come. recca and... kurei--- the ties ever since birth. the last brothers of the hokage ninja...... the wheel of fortune united them in this time... and fought... and now...... gave them a stage as if wanting them to fight for their life. (with tears in her eyes) ouka-dono...... reina...... you too, are probably watching over the fight between them...... (suddenly a handkerchief in her face) ! (yanagi wiping her tears for her and smiling) ...yanagi-chan... (hug her) ......you have---- become... strong......
(recca smiles back at his friends and then his eyes focuses to the man across the ring and his face turns serious in a deadly glare... and thus... the battle begins)

yukie's note : just suddenly thought... that while I'm translating volume 15, I'm reading volume 24... and boy how the art style has changed since volume 1 T.T

Volume 15 Chapter 5 : Second Round Begins
(so recca faces kurei... everyone's quiet... oh, the pressure...)
audience : ...amazing pressure...! i... it feels like I'm gonna collapse just watching this!!
raiha : [... you must be enjoying this, kurei-sama--- I can see it. you're smiling beneath your mask......]
kurei : ......recca... I'll allow you some time to say farewell to your friends. of course, your master sakoshita yanagi too----- because you won't ever see her again. you will turn into a corpse today--- and she will become the prize for mori koran. I at least have that much generousity. that would just be......
recca : shut the fuck up, ass-----hole. (gives kurei the finger) this is my answer.
(the following scene... poor joker... HAHAHAH)
menou (all confused) : [?] ? the answer... (asking joker) what's the meaning of that gesture?
joker (sweating all over) : uh... menou-chan... it um... that's uh... (think) I can't tell her it's F**K! (sweating) I hate you, recca-san.
recca : what's that stupid rule in this tournament that there's a penalty for losers. which says... if I lose here, you'll take princess. I have to get this straight now. what do you give us if we win?
kurei (looking really scary...) : ...... I will not ever appear before you again--- I swear.
recca : ...... you better keep it.
nemi (at her desk) : referee for the final match, to the ring please!!
(and tatsuko is looking really down, standing on the side... suddenly she gets hit by amagi's shinai...)
amagi : don't have that look in the greatest moment of this tournament... it won't do, tatsuko senpai!! (tatsuko getting up, amagi's smiling at her...)
tatsuko : amagi...
arrow (pointing to amagi) : jyuunishi (uma) amagi (and pointing to her shinai) ninjin *jinsen* shinai.
amagi : I give you the right to be the referee of the final match!
tatsuko : b... but you are the referee of the match... i... lost in the janken *rock/paper/scissor*...
amagi : this is recca's final match!! don't you want to be in it!!? don't you really like him? recca-kun! come on, go!
tatsuko (stunned for a moment) : ......
amagi : but you better be fair!
tatsuko (big smile) : HN! (jump into the ring) AND NOW!! THE FINAL MATCH, LET'S GO!!! (everyone's been waiting for so long... especially all the players in this story) URUHA KURENAI CAPTAIN, KUREI!!! HOKAGE CAPTAIN, RECCA!!! (kagero looking sadly at the ring, yanagi's praying...) THE FINAL MATCH...----
text : recca-kun...
tatsuko : BEGIN!!!
text : recca-kun......
(and at that moment... recca and kurei makes first contact... fist to fist. all the audience are stunned...)
text : unbelievable... I'm not afraid. because I have faith. recca-kun... will win.
(and the two in the ring split up again and then the audience recovers and cheers the roof off, in mori koran's mansion... the guests are all focused on the big screen)
mori koran : [there... the death match between the brothers---- let me enjoy this now... (big evil smile)]

Volume 15 Chapter 6 : Prelude Battle
(oh... you're gonna like this one... kurei's pie chart... might as well not have one, it has a big unknown stamped on it.... everything, currently battle ability, speed, power etc... all unknowns...)
CRAY
AGE - 20
SEX - MALE
BLOODTYPE - UNKNOWN
BIRTHDAY - UNKNOWN
(in koran's mansion...)
announcer : just now, the determining final match has begun. this is the card *stats* of kurei vs. recca. hokage vs. uruha kurenai's odds are------ a landslide of 1 : 9. all the money is on uruha kurenai.
guests : that's right. even though hokage made it this far...... their final opponent is kurei. but still, some people are betting on hokage... really, they must be retarded. (mori koran just watches the screen with his usual evil smile)
recca (stretch his neck) : hm. let's go, asshole! (attack, kurei dodges his first several hits, recca's pissed off) damn you... what are you doing running away!!
(and just as he was saying... a hand catches his next punch... um... it sure isn't kurei's hand ^^;; a hand that came out of kurei's body.)
recca : !
audience : w... WHAT!? from inside kurei...... there's another hand!!? (and more than a hand... kurenai's face half appears... she smiles ^.^)
recca (with a really tense look) : k... kurenai...!! (and kurei slaps him back, his flame kurenai is roaring...)
domon (also tense) : ...i didn't think she would come out so soon.
kaoru : um...
fuuko : kurenai... do you remember? mi-chan. that time when we first saw her in kurei's mansion--- that amazing terror... that strength, even when I was going to die, I still thought she was so beautiful...!! kurei's flame, kurenai!!
raiha : however... kurenai did come out too early. kurei-sama wouldn't have done this before. unless it's an opponent he mustn't hold back on... which means, that's a man who has enough power to rival him--- hanabishi recca! (recca sits up)
neon : yeah, the spunky kid has really grown stronger. but... kurei-sama is the same. look, raiha. he has left most of kurenai's burning flame inside his body, and only let out a portion! he's on a different level than before where he had to release kurenai entirely!! for this day, he too...... must have worked hard.
raiha (looking a neon a little surprised) : [neon...]
(recca gets up and has this baka smile on his face)
recca : ......... hmph. you do move differently than all the previous guys. in RPG terms, you would be the "last boss"!! it'll be game over if I don't play something different. flame against flame!! second form--- NADARE!! (calls out nadare's fireball, the only difference... this is one single ball)
fuuko (yelling) : why did you only make one---!!
domon : no... LOOK!! (it's one mighty big fireball)
audience (shock) : it! it's huge!!
kukai (in disbelief) : [to create a fireball of that size... he couldn't have done it when he fought me... in such a short time...!! IS HE A MONSTER!?]
recca : here i... (throw) GO!!
kurei (facing the fireball) : so you choose to be "quality over number"? such simple minded trick... do you think I can't dodge this!? (recca suddenly signals and the big fireball explodes into all these little pieces) !? [it... exploded!?] (and they all hit kurei... right on target)
(domon and fuuko both have a surprised/stunned smile)
tokiya : hm. good move.
recca (wide cocky smile) : I prefer number over quality! now come on!!
(the smoke fades and kurei still stands there coldly)
kukai : [no effect... that guy's also... a monster!!]
end of volume 15 chapter 6
yukie's note : ara... so the recca/kurei battle finally opens. this is a really long fight that will last through the remains of this volume until the end of volume 16. for those who have seen the anime and not read the manga... just keep in mind that this is REALLY different how this fight progressed and how things turned out. really, really... there's nothing alike... I dunno, supposedly by now, everybody knows that at this point in the manga, nothing is the same as the anime anymore, but... I guess fuuko/tokiya/domon's fights all had some resemblance to the anime scene (I won't mention the kaoru/joker fight which was entirely cut) ...but this is nothing like what you've seen...

Volume 15 Chapter 7 : Release
(kurei standing center stage, the flames from recca's last attack is all around him)
gashakura : a... amazing!!
miki : kurei-sama got...
daikoku : one direct hit!!!
(but the flame quickly fades off and kurei emerges really pissed off ^^;;)
fuuko : but no injuries at all.
domon : well, he's not someone who would be sorry just like that.
(kurei pauses and recca waits for his next move wide eyed in curiosity... well, it's the illusions)
audience : it's the illusions again!! isn't that genjuro's technique...
recca : so it's wakemi?
(so many kurei's attack recca, he dodges some of them but the real kurei gets him from behind)
recca (falls down hurt) : UH... .........
kurei : ---what's wrong, recca. you can't even see through a technique of this level? (kurenai appears... on every kurei illusion) die. (all of the kurenais aimed at recca)
recca (quickly) : MADOKAAA! (defend)
kagero : good work!! (yanagi clapping)
recca : it's your turn--- evil dragon. (and he calls out...) SETSUNA!!
audience (covering their faces, turning around etc.) : WAA, it came out, the dragon without eyes!! q... quick, close your eyes!! it's gonna toast you!!
(setsuna looks around at all these kureis and opens his single eye, aimed at the one...)
recca : SHUN EN!! (all the illusions disappear and kurei is burnt)
kurei : GAA...
recca : although that guy setsuna was blind since when he was a human--- his five senses other than vision are all very sharp.
tokiya : [I see... even with the illusions, the flame... that dragon can still feel the temperature from the real kurei. ...he has not problems using even that dragon...
recca : heh... this is boring, kurei! it's boring. BORING!! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SURPRESSING YOUR FEELINGS? YOU PLAN TO ACT LIKE A GENTLEMAN!? ASSHOLE!! SHOW ME WHAT YOU REALLY GOT, COME ON!!
(kurei gets up from the last attack... his mask cracks, the portion around his scar.)
kurei : I hate... i... hate... I hate you... (his eyes widen) I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you... I'M GONNA KILL YOU! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA----!
(and he just completely explodes, the audience all back off from the blast of his ki)
audience : WAA!!
recca : ...finally your true feelings show up. I can feel it so clearly! HATRED!!!

kurei : I hate you... I hate you... I hate you... (going crazy)
Volume 15 Chapter 8 : Teaching of Two Mothers
(a wing grow out on his back)
recca : ......!! [it's here!!] (the hokage all focuses tensely too)
audience : wha... what the hell is that!? a wing!? a wing grew out!! no... that's--- a flame!!!
neon : kurenai's wing...
text : curse... hatred... murder...
kurei : haen *wing flame*---- (the wing on his back spreads and many flame spikes shoots out at recca)
recca (jump up) : OO!! (but one gets his leg) grr... (he falls, just in time for the big explosion, the stage is covered in flames)
domon : HANABISHIIII---!! (worried, recca is down, and kurei picks him up by his shirt)
recca : GAA... (and gets hit)
kukai (worried, amazed) : [i... incredible... the strength of a demon!! kurei!!!]
recca (falls down, hurt) : AH...
kurei (follows up by stomping on recca's head) : ...the weak... will be stepped on... that... is what my mother reina taught me.
(and goes into a flashback, the hokage village, the night when everything burned down, kurei in his cell)
text : help me.........
kurei (banging on the doors) : open up!! I'm dying here... somebody... help me!! (crying) HELP ME!!! (sob... the ceiling falling down on him... yet it didn't hit him, someone covered for him. he looks up)
reina (smile, pat him) : a... are you alright? kurei...
kurei (once they're out) : mother, let's escape together! the land of the hokage will soon fall to oda's army! the two of us......
reina (sitting on the ground, hurt) : ......mother can't move anymore... if we go together, you will be caught by oda's soldiers. I'll become a burden... don't worry about me... run.
kurei (crying) : no!! no!! mother!! don't leave kurei alone!!
(reina has a really serious expression and she slaps kurei)
reina : you are the son of hokage's leader ouka and I, reina! you are the one to become the next leader of hokage!! you cannot cry. tears represent human weakness... and weakness is what makes one vulnerable. be strong, kurei...... be so strong to stand above everyone else. step on the weak... kill them at times... and walk on their corpses--- you must have relentless determination... remember that you die if you don't kill them! if you think about mother, then turn my death into strength to move on... as long as you live... the hokage ninja will not die. (hand over her short sword to him, kurei accepting the sword with trembling hands) you're so young... and I've place such a burden... be healthy...... live strongly, kurei... farewell. (she hugs him one last time)
text : mother------
(afterwards... it's the scene from kagero's time spell, kurei finds them in the forest...)
kurei : [kagero...... re... cca...] (draws the sword reina gave him...)
(end of flashback... now back in the ring, kurei punched recca again)
recca : uh!!
kurei : and then... under kagero's jikuu ryuuri, we entered the time flow together...... and with such unison, we arrived at the same era. this is not simply a fight in a battle tournament, recca. it's a 400 year old fight over the hokage leadership!! born as a shinobi... I love my deceased mother. and I too love the hokage of my mother. and the name of hokage------ how dare you carelessly take it!! (his flame soars and recca falls back down)
audience : s... strong... (recca is down, but his eyes suddenly open wide)
kagero : get up, recca!!
recca : !
kagero : not for yourself, but the heart to fight for others is strong!! that strength is not so weak as to be defeated like that!! stand up!!
kurei : [......kagero......]
recca : OK, mom!!! (jump up)

Volume 15 Chapter 9 : Argument
kagero : not for yourself, but the heart to fight for others is strong!! that strength is not so weak as to be defeated like that!! stand up! RECCA!! (recca jumps up)
recca : GAA!!
kaoru : woohoo!
domon : he got up--!
fuuko (cheer) : kagero-mama's words helped!!
audience : yeah, fight back---!! recca! recca! show him!!! recca! recca!
kurei : ......... excuses. the heart to fight for other, strong!? excuses!! what a joke!! kagero!!! it's only self satisfying, hahahahah!! people who would die for such naïve belief are all fools!! how does that make one strong!
kagero : ......
kurei : only those who step on others can be the winner!! companions? friends!? (this is affecting the other uruha people now, especially neon) I don't need anyone with me walking my path!! I alone!! people become strong for themselves, and only for themselves!!
neon (looks down) : [kurei-sama......]
recca : whatever, shut up already---, mr. orator!
kurei (caught in the middle of a recca attack) : ! wha...!? (flying sickles around him, he seems to get slashed quite a few times)
recca (who summoned nadare and saiha) : simultaneous dragons----- saiha, nadare!!
yanagi (smile, clap) : wow... two at the same time again!!
audience (shock) : w... what----!?
kashamaru : ...so was that why he disappeared for so long!
gashakura : perhaps. I didn't know he was hiding such attacks!!
recca : nadare's fireball and saiha's flame blade! becomes sharp edged fireballs!! [...although they're not shaped like a ball]
kukai (a drop of sweat) : [hanabishi recca......... I never thought I would respect a boy the age of my daughter! I... can... no longer win...!!]
recca (another wave of attack) : sixth form, rui!! (creates his own illusion)
domon (eyes pop out) : illusion!?
fuuko : no. rui's flame!
recca (attack) : HOMURA!!! (kurei's wing dissolves that attack but...)
recca (behind him) : missed.
kurei : !!
recca : the real thing's here. (gets kurei from behind)
kurei (falls) : GAA...!!
audience : a... amazing-----!! that must have had some effect, hey!! recca! recca!! recca!!
(recca gets cocky in all the cheering and gives the audience the finger... meanwhile...)
neon : ......... (looks sad) what are we really... raiha.
raiha (unmoved) : ... jyushinshuu. shinobi who give their life for kurei-sama.
neon : ...yeah... that is how I feel. but... perhaps our existence is unnecessary----- right now, he... refuses to be with us...... my body... my life... I would do anything for him--- but would he say that such thinking is also excuses... and self satisfaction? or he doesn't even let us be near him...?
raiha (big cute eyes look) : .......... hm---... (smile) yeah. but... I don't think he really meant that... he's probably thinking something else.
(the following scene... everybody looks deformed... especially neon... BANG... joker out of nowhere knocks neon on the head with his big trident ^^;;)
joker : that's right, that's right! (neon has veins popping up and...)
raiha (deformed) : [err...]
joker (fangs showing) : that guy is so not honest. he always hides that part of him.
neon (very obviously pissed off... her head still hurts) : ......!! what does a new guy like you know!?
joker : better than your hysteria! look at kurenai. she appears like that because that guy chooses who would fight with him. and...... he probably thinks of you the same way! just watch----- the proof is coming.
(kurei just stands there and suddenly his energy is all focused on something... recca looks up in alarm.)

volume 15 chapter 10
Volume 15 Chapter 10 : The Truth [Uruha]
(the cover? well, in a chapter about the uruha, none other than raiha... neon... and jisho... kurei's energy is so amazing that even tatsuko is being repelled back, recca just waits)
audience : what!? what's coming!! that flame named kurenai!!?
kurei : ...come out... now...
(and he calls upon a new flame... jisho. neon's eyes are so wide from shock, raiha and joker just watches with no major reaction only they both look much more serious now)
domon (shock) : that guy.....!!?
recca : ji......
(scenes of jisho ever since when he first appeared in kurei's mansion)
neon (crying, scream) : JISHOOO---!!!
kurei (eyes narrow) : go. (and jisho moves out quickly to punch recca)
recca (dodge closely) : UH!!
kagero (looking at jisho, she seems stunned and frightened) : [if... if... if what neon said was true... kurei's power is to take the form of his flame from dead people! not only kurenai... but that man has become part of his power too!?]
kashamaru (trembling) : gashakura... he's... he's...
gashakura (sweating too) : yeah--- uruha kurogane's leader jisho!! the man killed by my brother magensha's houmashin!! (during this whole time, jisho has been attacking recca more and each time it's harder to dodge)
joker : ... see--- that's the proof. he doesn't just take anyone into himself. that guy... wants the dead jisho-san to become one with him. same as kurenai-san! he's just not honest... never lets others know what he's thinking... maybe even he hasn't realized that. however--- whether he is good or evil, he is still human!
neon (crying) : k... kurei-sama...
(another... interesting flashback... neon and jisho both exhausted after a fight)
neon (sweating) : heh... you're not bad!! fighting evenly with I neon-sama... I'm changing my opinion on you a little.
jisho (vein, bleeding from the fight) : hmph. I don't think so. a woman jyushinshuu? do you women think you can protect kurei-sama!
neon (super pissed off) : WHAT!?
jisho (face to face with neon) : so what!!
(and between their bickering... there's cute little raiha sitting in the background, scratching his head, looking at them ^^;; he looks even goofier back then ^.^)
raiha : isn't it fine? let's just make this up. (cute smile)
neon : no way!! not with this asshole!
text : i...... raiha...... jisho......
jisho : what was that, ugly!!
raiha : calm down-- calm down--
text : though we don't get along to well...... we're all people who admire kurei-sama with our heart. "we would risk our lives to protect kurei-sama." (neon and jisho has their backs to each other and raiha just keeps on smiling) we could only agree to that, the three of us......
(jisho lays a piece of paper and a knife before neon and raiha... and oh... wondering what raiha looks like without his ninja outfit?? the last and only time was when he went to give fuuko-san some sodas... he looks so cute ^.^)
neon : ------ what do you have in mind? jisho.
jisho : honestly, everyone in the jyushinshuu are weird and I don't trust any of them. especially genjuro who seems to have some other plan... (looks very serious) therefore--- the three of us has to live and die for kurei-sama!! we swear to him. (cuts his own finger) this is a blood contract!! though you two are idiots, I trust you on this! i... yes me! (writes his name with his blood, big smile) I really like that guy!!
neon (slap her forehead) : blood contract... you old fashioned ass.
(so the paper ended up having the names of the three)
text : jisho...... (end of that flashback)
neon : ...that time when jisho died--- I was really sad.
text : uruha ma killed our comrade jisho!! do you know that? kurei-sama!?
(another short flashback of that time when neon ran to kurei who stood unmoved by the window)
text : jisho... it's a pity he died. however, accidents do happen.
neon : I am so ashamed I couldn't see how he really felt---- that was not his intention. (crying) because he knows our heart... he believes us and accepts jisho as a part of him... jisho too... should be at peace now... now... he has become part of his power, jisho... I envy him so much... raiha...... (raiha has a mixed look of... kindness and sorrow *???*)
(jisho roars)
kurei : kill him! JISHO!!!
(and jisho jumps recca...)
