Chapter 217

          -------------------------------------------------------
          I'm sorry, my Japanese skills are bad; especially in
          RuroKen for some reason.. o_O;; Whaddaya expect from a
          person with 2 quarters of beginning Japanese? ;-;

          Okay, we're still in the graveyard with Gein and Aoshi.
          Aoshi demands to know where Kaoru is being held. Gein
          jumps up in a tree and thinks to himself "You're
          impudent... don't underestimate me." Aoshi walks
          beneath him. "You're being careless... walking into my
          territory..." Aoshi draws his kodachis, and says
          "Oniwabanshuushiki Kodachi Nidouryuu Ougi: Kai Ten Ken
          Bu Roku Ren!" (His ougi o_O;) He then chops a pretty
          thick tree in half. (He looks really demonic... oo;;)

          Gein freaks out and hops across to another tree. Gein
          thinks to himeself something like "He's strong, but
          there are hundreds of trees here... he's a totally
          different man than he was at Shishio's base..." But his
          power is the same if not more as that dark Aoshi's
          was..." (?) and he can't give up, for his two
          masterpieces... this is what he's been waiting for.

          Aoshi spots Gein... "Are you finished with this game of
          tag?" Gein replies something like he won't be finished
          until he gets an answer... (?) Aoshi walks forward some
          more... and Gein springs his trap. "You're finished,
          Shinomori Aoshi!" (Actually, it's "you're hung!" but I
          don't think that's too good a translation... ^^;;) A
          giant spider-webby thing springs up around Aoshi. Gein
          tells Aoshi that he's trapped, and the finishing blow
          is "this"... he holds up a rope soaked in oil; the end
          is burning. If the ropes continue burning, Aoshi will
          be surrounded with flames and die. Gein orders Aoshi
          once again to tell him the location of his masterpieces
          or he will burn. Aoshi says that he burned the
          masterpieces; that he felt sorry for the dead bodies of
          the people that Gein used to make them. He uses another
          technique: Oniwabanshuushiki Kodachi Nidouryuu, On Myou
          Hasshi, where... it looks like he uses the tip of one
          kodachi against the hilt of the other to send it flying
          at Gein. o_O (I can't tell if it hit him or not. -_-;)
          Gein tells him to just die, idiot. Aoshi says something
          about pride, and is about to deliver the death blow (I
          guess)...

          Gein abruptly starts pleading for his life and saying
          that he gives up. "Wait! Wait! I give up on my
          masterpieces! So wait!" Aoshi replies that he won't
          wait, because Oniwabanshuu punishments are absolute.
          Gein must be "put into darkness" because that is the
          last responsibility of the head of the Oniwabanshuu.
          And then Gein dies. (hehheh)

          Sometime later... Saitou is standing in the cemetary...
          (all the trees are chopped down... wow... Aoshi...) One
          of the policemen calls to Saitou that it used to be the
          forest... he picks up Gein's mask. They also find the
          charred body of Kaoru's doll. They also find Aoshi.

          He's kneeling in the charred pile. Saitou: "You, huh?"
          Aoshi replies that he knows the location of Yukishiro
          Enishi's Tokyo hideout. Saitou asks if Aoshi had any
          intention of dying with that black skull (Gein's mask).
          Aoshi replies "Of course not. I still have something to
          do... Someone is waiting for me." It then shows Misao
          sleeping... (mumbling Aoshi-sama...)

          And that's it! (ow ow my brain) Just to tide you over
          until Shizuki-san or Wuken-san can get a Jump and fix
          all my horrid mistakes. ^^;;
