.: Ekkusu :. volume 11 THEIR DESTINY WAS FOREORDAINED, 1999 X The Barrier (KEKKAI I) text : the final legend of the earth has begun. (flashbacks) kamui (from volume 1) : it's been six years tokyo... I have returned, kaa-san... kotori (first day in school) : wait! are you kamui...chan? I am togakushi temple's... kotori. young kamui (kiddie flashback) : I promise, fuuma. I will never make kotori-chan cry. I promise. (hook fingers) young fuuma : then I promise you, if kamui protects kotori, then I will protect kamui. tooru (burning) : go to tokyo, kamui. your destiny awaits you. text : the overlapping fate of two people... I was born for you... kyougo (dying) : ka...mu...i, get back... the holy... sword... kekkai... before... the... seven... seals are... broken... by the angels... fuuma... you... are... ka...mui...'s... text : it's almost time to choose. you are kamui's... I am... your... "kamui", choose your own destiny, the earth's destiny. hinoto : those are the land dragons, the seven angels. and earth, and tokyo will be destroyed. tokyo protects the earth, it is the foundation of kekkai. and to fight the seven angels, and prevent the destruction of earth... there's only the sky dragons. there are only seven people in this world, the people who create kekkai, the seven seals. kanoe : kamui, you could become a sky dragon, but you can become a land dragon as well. tokiko (video) : kamui, you must choose your own destiny, whether to become the sky dragon, the seven seals, or become the land dragon, the seven angels... text : the one who represents the power of god, the one who saves earth tokiko : but don't forget text : the one who hunts the power of god, the one who destroys earth tokiko : think about yourself rather than earth. what you want to do, which destiny you want to choose. who you want to protect. become a sky dragon and protect the present, or become a land dragon and wish for change. kotori (crazily) : water, so pretty. I like it, so empty too, pretty. I love this place that has kamui-chan. text : I don't care what happens to earth, but I want to protect the place that holds fuuma and kotori's happiness. to "keep" this "world"... you have chosen hinoto : your mother is a member of the magami family, she chose to become the earth's kagenie to protect the earth from diasters. text : since you have chosen the future of a sky dragon fuuma : earth wishes for change. text : then I will become a land dragon. kakyou : the people are killing earth. do you really wish to maintain such a world? text : my destiny. fuuma : I will kill the people who pollute the earth. text : twin star, the other kamui, born to fill the open position. kamui (when fuuma killed kotori) : FUUMA...! (and he wakes up... it was all a dream... for the last... 12 pages, I will not be too happy if I was reading this in ASUKA when it comes out one chapter a month, of which 12 pages is somebody's nightmare... I really don't understand why x is still so popular... who has the patience anyway???) kamui (sits up in his bed) : ......fuuma...... (it's morning, he's dressed up for school) yuzuriha (enthusiastically) : good morning! kamui (quietly) : good morning. yuzuriha (concerned) : ...are you not feeling well? you don't look too good. (sorata comes over and feels kamui's forehead) sorata : have you got a cold? (arashi is cooking, and looking at the three of them) kamui : [no I don't.] sorata (playing the know it all) : [the cold is the root of all sickness] kamui (look at the three caring faces) : ...i'm fine. because there are still things I need to do. (sorata puts a hand on his shoulder) sorata (turns cheerful) : alright! let's eat! yuzuriha : we don't want to be late for school! (everyone sits down at the table) [so what are we having today?] sorata : [sesame tofu, baked fish and eggs. the miso soup is nee-chan's special.] (kamui picks up the chopsticks, sees a light scar and remembers when it was punctured...) fuuma : kamui, I... will kill you. (then back to reality, going to school, yuzuriha hopping next to kamui) yuzuriha : I made the box lunch today! there's kamui-san's favorite cream croaker!! *.* please tell me what you think of it. kamui (sweatdrop) : ...hn. sorata (walking a little behind with arashi) : ...he seems a lot better now. yuzuriha (in the background) : [arashi-san and sorata-san are both really good at cooking, I'll try not to lose to them.] arashi : yeah. sorata : it's been three month since. (scenes of kotori's death) I don't think he will ever forget what happened this spring, but kamui is moving on in his own way. arashi : ...yes. sorata : have you noticed? (I just knew he can't stay serious for too long) nee-chan, we've also been living together for three month now! (arashi ignores him and walks away, sorata yelling after her) [wait------ don't leave me------] (sweatdrop, run up to her) alright, jokes aside for now! these three month, there hasn't been any movement from "them". arashi : land dragons... ...the seven angels. sorata : there's nothing in the princess's dream either. arashi : princess hinoto said it might be the land dragon's dreamgazer's doing... sorata : that's a dreamgazer who can rival the princess. anyway, we can only go to school and wait for their move. if that's so, (take arashi's hand, arashi has that funny face) why don't we use this valuable time to know more about each other? (arashi expressionlessly pinch him) OWWWWW!! kamui & yuzuriha (turn around, look back) : ? (sees sorata holding his hand in pain with sweatdrops and arashi walking on with no expression) sorata : [this pain is also nee-chan's love.] yuzuriha (smile) : they really get along so well, sorata-san and arashi-san. kamui (sweatdrop) : r... really? yuzuriha (a little depressed) : I also want to go out... with kusanagi-san. (blush with cat ears when she notices kamui) it's nothing! sorata : everyone's gonna study like boys and girls today! yuzuriha : yes! sorata (to arashi and kamui) :alright, let's go to the high school section. (this is where they all split up) kamui : ...you guys go first. (run off, by the way, yuzuriha is in junior high) sorata : he's going to kotori-chan's place again... (kamui goes to this part of campus that's empty and goes to stand under one particular tree) kamui : ...kotori... (scenes flash by of her death, some birds fly off the tree and land on kamui's shoulder and arm...) (...the moment he enters his classroom, a huge face pops up and smiles at him) keiichi : GOOD MORNING--------!!! (new character - kamui's classmate, short blond hair, always smiling, much taller than kamui) kamui (sweatdrops) : g... good morning... (that was a little shocking) keiichi (hand him a stack of paper) : yes! next week there's a english test! shirou-kun you just transferred, if you don't mind, you can use my old stuff! kamui (sweatdrop) : [thank you.] keiichi : ah! there's gym today! did you bring your gym shirt!? I think it's short distant running. shirou-kun, are you good at running? I'm prefer long distance more though... ah! that's right, what are you gonna do about lunch!? box lunch? cafeteria? student store? (big smile, waiting for kamui's answer) kamui (lots of sweatdrops) : ...b, box lunch... keiichi : me too--------! let's eat together! (kamui nods with sweatdrop) arrow (pointing to his funny expression) : completely overwhelmed. girl (enter) : segawa keiichi ku--------------n! is your class representative segawa keiichi-kun here-----------? keiichi (run over) : that's me-------! girl : the fourth period professor took off today, it's self study------- he wants you to go get printouts for that-------- keiichi : ok! (kamui has this relieved expression and begins to walk away, but keiichi yell to him again) WE'LL EAT LUNCH TOGETHER--------!! (later that day, kamui finds his way to another part of the campus garden, subaru was there waiting for him) kamui : I'm sorry! (panting) I'm late! subaru : ...fourth period became self study? kamui : yeah. subaru, what about your classes? or is it my fault... subaru : ...no. I don't plan to learn anything from this place. it's not your fault. ...i enrolled in the college section because it's more convenient. kamui (a little sad) : ...to search for "sakurazukamori"? subaru : the sky dragons and land dragons, it seems my ties with him are not over yet. (holding a cigarette) so, you have a test next week? kamui : a english test, and then math. subaru : I dropped out of high school so I don't know if I'd get it. kamui : better than sorata, he can't teach at all. sorata (scene 1, teaching kamui) : you do this and this over here and like that! arrow (point to kamui staring at his notebook) : listening intently arrow (scene switch) : next day keiichi (looking at kamui's homework) : shirou-kun, this is wrong. (point) [this and this] (kamui sweatdrop) kamui : [as long as he can do it himself. (vein)] i... never really went to school... I'm sorry... ...for troubling you. subaru : ...you're not troubling me at all. (light another cigarette) kamui : subaru... the cigarette subaru : oh... it's bothering you? kamui : no, but... don't smoke so much... subaru : it's alright. smoking can lower some people's powers but I seem to be the opposite. kamui : is that why you always smoke different cigarettes? subaru : brand doesn't matter to me. kamui : that's... also because of "sakurazukamori"? subaru (looks down for a second) : ...if I don't do so ... I can't win against him. kamui (looks at him, then seems a little embarrassed) : maybe it's none of my business... but... it's still bad for your body. (subaru seems a little surprised, he looks at kamui for a moment and then put out the cigarette) subaru (pick up book) : shall we begin. kamui (more relieved) : right. (switch to hinoto) hien : are you awake? hinoto : ...i still can't see any dreams of movement. (doorbell rings) hien & souhi : there's a guest. probably the foreign minister. (they go out, daisuke stays) hinoto : what is it? daisuke : nothing... hinoto : I've always known when saiki-dono has something in mind. daisuke : ...i was actually relieved when princess hinoto can't see the dreams about the future of earth anymore. hinoto : ...why? daisuke : because the yumemi foreshadowing the earth's future is a burden for princess hinoto. hinoto (a bit surprised) : I'm sorry that I've made saiki-dono worried. daisuke : that's not it!! hinoto : ...thank you. (smile, daisuke blushing a little, then hien and souhi comes in) hien : princess, it's time. daisuke (runs out of there embarrassed) : then! then please excuse me! souhi : ? hien (sweatdrop) : i... I'll go bring him in. hinoto (alone) : ...thank you. but I am... (sad) (in clamp academy) keiichi (head pops up) : SHIROU-KUN!! [I found you-------] it's lunch time------!! (then sees kamui and subaru both staring at him with a funny face) I'm so sorry! (bow) I didn't know you were studying, sorry. subaru : you can go. kamui : and you, subaru? subaru : I'll stay here a little longer. kamui (takes books) : ...... (get up, smile) thank you, see you later. (leave with keiichi, who bows one last time) keiichi : I'M REALLY SORRY------!! (they leave and subaru lights another cigarette) text : maybe it's none of my business... but... it's still bad for your body. (subaru seems somewhat thoughtful, put the cigarette box back in his pocket and looks up at the sky) keiichi : someone from the college section? kamui : yeah. keiichi (smile) : he's very pretty------- kamui (flash from when he first saw subaru in his subconscious) : ...yeah. keiichi : shirou-kun's also very pretty!! (kamui looks at him with a sweatdrop, they're sitting on a bench somewhere with their box lunch) AH! cream croaker! (sees kamui's lunch) I love cream croakers------!! kamui (hold up lunch box with sweatdrop) : y, you want? keiichi : eh!? can I!? than you!! then! I'll trade with my dove eggs! kamui : t, thank you. keiichi : my mom's cooking is great at home! come over next time! kamui (sweatdrop) : uh... yeah. keiichi : oh and then! I can tutor you too! study! ...well, I don't get everything either! so!! kamui (lots of sweatdrops) : y... yeah... arrow : completely overwhelmed again. (suddenly... they feel it...) kamui (jump up) : [earthquake!?] keiichi (jump on him) : DON'T! (they both fall down, earthquake stops soon) kamui : [it stopped.] keiichi (still on top of him) : don't do that! you can't stand up during an earthquake!! kamui (under) : ...you're heavy... keiichi (get up and helping kamui up) : ah! sorry!! but this is rare, clamp academy shaking! this place is usually alright when there are earthquakes. kamui : [land dragon!?] (then notices keiichi looks strange) what's wrong? keiichi : no, it's nothing. I hate earthquakes. ...because I can't stop it from happening. hinoto (flashback) : tokyo has numerous kekkais created by people before us. kamui : ...if tokyo is destroyed in a huge earthquake... those kekkais will also be destroyed. hinoto : therefore the qualification of the seven seals is to create kekkai. "kamui", you can prevent tokyo's great earthquake. text : lead the sky dragons and save earth. kamui (in torment) : [do I really... have such power...] (sky dragon meeting in a tea shop) karen : that was amazing! it seem to have been 4 degrees here. yuzuriha : it was only a little shaky at school. that's because it's clamp academy. (door opens) seiichirou (runs in) : I'm sorry! I was waiting for the manuscript! waitress : must be bad, editor-san. [can I take your order?] seiichirou : ice milk tea and ah, I want cake too. (while handing newspaper to sorata) (paper princes that it's a 4 degree earthquake, point of origin is still unknown) arashi : any other places damaged? sorata (reading) : hm, it seems no other places were affected. yuzuriha : then it's only ikebukuro? seiichirou : how do you feel, kamui? kamui : ...it's different from the earthquake at nakano before... sorata : I think so too. kamui (put a hand over his heart) : but... I felt that "it was here". karen : what? kamui : ...the holy sword. (everyone seems surprised) it's not here anymore though. arashi : why ikebukuro? karen : I heard rumors that there are some strange organizations in this area. seiichirou : me too. sorata : you can't feel it anymore? the holy sword's aura. kamui : hn... karen : anyway, we should just be on alert and investigate this. (notice that someone is not in this meeting... *sigh* subaru's not very popular is he... anyway, in the nataku underground lab, everyone's at their station, seems to be some sort of emergency) old man : what's the situation? woman scientist : we cut off all the power but don't know if we were able to break it... and it seemed to have caused the ground to shake on the surface. scientist 2 : however, how did anyone get access into this research lab...! this laboratory's computer does not belong to any network, but someone still invaded from the outside...! old man : the only ones who can do that... are the people related to the earth's future. (pic of the sky dragons and land dragons in the background) what did they steal? scientist : it's all the data related to nataku! (the old man seems shocked... at the same time, under city hall, satsuki is sitting in beast, the screen displays "nataku data" then "download". fuuma's monitoring everything while he's physically in kakyou's twisted dream dimension.) fuuma : the possibility to access any computer is true. ...then I have no need for this place anymore. (he liquefies... kakyou is still lying in bed like always... after fuuma leaves, kamui appears on a screen he turns on...) kakyou : kamui... fuuma (back under city hall) : I've got the laboratory's data. and I already know your life support method. nataku : ...why did you do this? fuuma : you don't want to return right? to that lab. I've already said, the land dragons, the seven angels are bound by fate. therefore there's no need to stick together, you can still do as you please. but you said you didn't want to go anywhere. (smile) what is your wish? nataku (kneeling by fuuma's side) : I don't know, but... I feel like I don't want to leave you. fuuma : why? nataku : because... you look like my father. fuuma : how does your father call you? (flashbacks... a man's anxious face) man : ka...zuki nataku (almost looks sad) : kazuki... fuuma : ...kazuki. if that's your wish, I will realize it. (let nataku put his head on his leg, nataku close his eyes in solace, a evil gleam appears in fuuma's eyes) and the same for "the earth's wish"... (in kanoe's room... for some reason... I know she wears little to begin with, but she doesn't mind yuuto being in her room when she's not wearing anything... as long as they are separated by an almost transparent curtain... and it doesn't seem like they have an unusual relationship either...) yuuto (pour tea) : his impression changed again. he just feels cold in the beginning but now he can laugh like a child, and seems gentle. kanoe (seems troubled) : ...but that pressure is still there. what I felt when the "land dragon" awakened, the coldness like ice and the overwhelming power... (shivering) what is it... that I feel. I just have a bad feeling about this... satsuki (getting out of beast) : why do I do this? ...because I'm bored. (climbing out) land dragon's kamui... it seems like he can bring me some fun... (one of the computer screens was displaying yuuto drinking tea in the other room, she pauses and looks at him... and touches his face on the screen for a second... and then jumps out of beast... puts on glasses and walks outta there...... outside...) kusanagi (playing with cats) : that was a scary earthquake today. are your friends alright? (he seems to be getting along really well with them) I see, I see. that's great. (looks up at the sky) I wonder if the girl with same name as you guys is alright. ...that cry baby ojou-chan. (standing on top of a cross staring at sunshine 60 with interest is... sakurazuka seishirou, holding a cigarette and wearing sunglasses... 4 pages of empty pictures to come... and then fuuma sitting in his chair, seems to be THE chair now...) fuuma : ...shall we begin? ...before earth dies. kamui (sitting at wherever he is... in pain) : [...fuuma...] (next morning, or maybe a few days later??? anyway, it's morning... sorata and arashi comes downstairs together) sorata (genki as always) : GOOD---------MORNING! arashi : good morning. yuzuriha (in apron... along with kamui) : good---------morning! kamui : 'morning. sorata (declare!) : now! although nee-chan and I got up together, it doesn't mean that anything happened yesterday! we are still innocent! (yuzuriha laughs... and arashi glares at sorata evilly with a vein popping) yuzuriha (serving) : breakfast is ready! sorata (sniffing with eyes closed) : smells good------- I'm guessing it's sandwiches today! yuzuriha : CORRECT! ham and eggs and oh! there's tuna! sorata (takes a bite) : DELICIOUS! yuzuriha-chan! kamui! nice! you two will make good wives! text : sora-chan's impeccable judgment!! (kamui has a sweatdrop and yuzuriha is *.*) yuzuriha (then stop to think for a second) : [but kamui-san is also a wife? ?] (cat ears... while arashi just ignores them and munch on her sandwich) sorata (super powered up) : alright, tonight's dinner will be great! just watch me... [kouyasan's special dish...] (arashi: munch munch) kamui : ah, I won't be back for dinner. (sorata falls to the ground, one foot in the air, arashi : munch munch) sorata (and yuzuriha looks at him curiously) : what are you doing? kamui : I promised some guy in my class... to go over to his house yesterday... [kinda hard to refuse...] (sorata looks at kamui and then rubs his head, when kamui looks up, sorata has a really gentle smile) sorata : go! it's great to go out together! kamui (sweatdrop) : [i... I'm only...] yuzuriha (cat face) : [so lucky------ going to friend's house] (run) AH! forgot to bring out the soup! (kamui follows also) [can't believe we totally forgot] sorata (meanwhile with his serious side) : kamui is also getting long now with people other than us. arashi (seems like this is the only time she would talk to him too... T.T) : that's right. (night, kamui's entering keiichi's house) keiichi (open garden gate) : this is my house! it's really close to sunshine 60! I'M HOME! mother : WELCOME BACK--------! (he definitely resembles his mother) ah! this must be shirou-kun! keiichi : yep! shirou kamui-kun! kamui (look at her with sweatdrop, I guess he realized too) : g... good evening... mother : NICE TO MEET YOU! I'M KEIICHI'S MOTHER! I heard you have a friend coming so I made barbecue! keiichi : alright! both (turn around) : do you like barbecue? (with the same ^.^ smile... T.T) kamui (a shadow has fallen over him and he's covered in multiple sweatdrops) : y... yes... keiichi (at the dinner table) : ah! the meat's better than usual! mother : ahahah, that's right! I worked harder because there's a guest over! (put another piece in kamui's bowl) shirou-kun, eat more! (holds up a plate of food) alright! it's done! (and she brings the food to the next room) keiichi (darkly) : she's bringing it to father. kamui : he doesn't eat with you? is he working? or... keiichi (sadly) : he's dead. (kamui's eyes open wide) in the earthquake before. remember the huge earthquake of nakano? my father's company was there... he was always very energetic, and does better sports at that age then me... but there's nothing we can do about earthquakes... I hate earthquakes... because I can't stop it with my own ability... even if you're inside a building, if the building falls there's nothing that can be done. (finally notices that kamui's been looking quite upset) I'm sorry! mother and I are fine now! no matter how we cry father won't come back to life! we've decided to combine forces and live on! mother (come back) : sorry I interrupted the meal! there's still more meat! shirou-kun, eat more! (going to kitchen) keiichi, gimme a hand! keiichi (goes over) : yeah! kamui (look at those two's backs) : [nakano's earthquake was... because the land dragon broke the kekkai... (flashback of seishirou...)] hinoto (flashback) : seven dragons will awaken. then earth and tokyo will be torn apart. kamui : land dragons? and earthquakes? tokyo will collapse in an earthquake? hinoto : yes. but the earthquake is initiated by seven dragons, the seven angels. only the sky dragons can save the earth from destruction. there are only seven people in the world, the ones who can create kekkais that will save earth. the seven seals. kamui : [kekkai... for the sake of protecting someone...] (later, kamui leaving with keiichi) mother (wave) : take care--------! keiichi (smile back) : [I'll take him to the station.] (kamui bows) I'm sorry to have kept you until this late! kamui : not at all, I'm grateful your treatment. keiichi : then come again! because I'm the only child, my mother is happy when the house is more lively. what about you, shirou-kun? you're always hanging out with a spiky hair, plain cloth upperclassman (meaning that sorata doesn't wear school uniform), pretty woman with long hair, and a cute middle school kid! are they some sort of relative? kamui : nope. keiichi (surprised) : eh? then siblings!? kamui : no. keiichi : then, friends? kamui (surprised at the word... looks down) : ...i suppose... ...they are friends. keiichi : if you're together and not connected by blood, and that makes you happy, isn't that friends? kamui : I ... see. keiichi : I want to be friends (big smile) with shirou-kun too. (kamui looks touched... but just then, earth starts shaking) keiichi : earthquake!? (everyone panic) kamui (he sees a dragon soaring over sunshine 60) : [a dragon!?] keiichi (push kamui away from broken windows) : WATCH OUT!! kamui : [it's the same as when nakano's kekkai collapsed...!! a land dragon!?] (push keiichi away and runs off) I'll be fine so hurry up and go home!! keiichi (yell) : you can't! (kamui ran off already) SHIROU-KUN!!! (nataku has completely wrecked the underground lab...) woman scientist (struggling on the floor) : na... taku... (and a big piece of ceiling falls down and completely crushes her... now nataku looks to the old man) old man (badly hurt, but I think he's most disappointed now) : I see... you still did not develop any emotions... nataku... why the lab... nataku : because he wishes so. old man : ...he? fuuma (appears) : now that we know how to support nataku's life, there's no need for this place. nataku : kamui... old man (shock) : KAMUI!? fuuma : from your reaction to the name kamui, you should at least know something. old man (sees fuuma's face) : masaki!? (shock) fuuma : all the kekkais will be destroyed and those who pollute this planet shall die. sunshine is also one of the kekkais. shall we end this? nataku : yes. (about to kill the old man) old man (looks up at him sadly) : ...kazuki... (and nataku's hand shook... while he's hesitating, fuuma feels kamui getting closer) fuuma : ...the other kamui has come. ...shall we go? nataku : to where? fuuma : let's play with him a little. kamui (jump on to roof of sunshine 60) : [I was right, the shaking is sunshine itself!] (a huge explosion within, and the building starts to tilt one way) kamui (desperate) : if sunshine falls like this...! fuuma (behind him) : everyone will die. (kamui seems surprised at first and then... long silence...) kamui : ......fuuma...... fuuma : I am kamui. I am the one born to be the twin star. when kamui chooses to become either a sky dragon or land dragon, I am the other kamui who's born to fill in the open position. (flashbacks) fuuma : you have chosen to become a sky dragon. then I will become a land dragon. I will kill the sky dragons, all of the seven seals. I am kamui. (kotori's death scene is replayed *yet again* clearly in front of kamui... there goes another two and a half pages of nothingness... meanwhile nataku arrives carrying the old man) fuuma : just in time. (nataku throws the old man on the ground) I'll show you something interesting. (slash the old man once...) kamui : wha...! (and twice and three x and more... kamui runs up and blocks in front of the old man) fuuma : isn't this none of your business? kamui : ...fuuma... fuuma (lift kamui's chin) : or... do you want to play too? (kamui carries the old man and dodges the next series of attacks from fuuma) kamui : [it will really fall if this continues!!] (it is tilting more) fuuma : if you don't make a kekkai, this place will collapse. (kamui stiffens) ...although saying that, it's still impossible for you. kamui. kamui : how... fuuma (walk closer) : did I know that? (touch kamui's cheek) ...i know everything about you. kamui : fuuma...! (they stare at each other... *this is sooooooo stupid but...* fuuma suddenly throws the old man aside and lifts kamui by his neck) fumma : because we are both kamui just the same. (kamui gets all bloody once again *and he just recovered from the last one too T.T* suddenly spell paper attack fuuma, nataku intercepts and cuts them in half, subaru appears on the roof) subaru : let go of kamui! [eh...!?] (doesn't fuuma's smile resemble someone???) fuuma (smiling) : you came to save him, sky dragon. subaru : [seishirou-san!? (look again) no...] ...my mistake. (without another word, a star shaped kekkai extends from his hands and covers the entire sunshine 60) end of X 11 yukie's note : x ova eps1 is coming out!!! with a bit of disappointment though... seki tomokazu is not playing kamui... T.T and ogata megumi is not playing kakyou *sob* I love seki tomokazu... one of the major reasons I had been anticipating this anime was because I though he was going to be in it *WAHHHHHHH* and iwao junko who does kotori, narita ken who does fuuma are all not in it T.T so who is in it??? kero-chan = sailor mercury = hinoto hime >.<;;;;; sanosuke = amiboshi = akito = kakyou .................. well, fine, I do like his voice... I never even heard of the people playing kamui kotori and fuuma philia = yuriko = satsuki and more... T.T top volume 11 character file SUMERAGI SUBARU (it's raining hard outside, subaru's sitting alone in his apartment when the answering machine turned on) answering machine : I'm not here right now, leave a message after the beep... (the phone beeps) grandmother : ...subaru-san, the incident with call last week, they have officially contacted us and made a request. I'm sending over the location. (fax running) ...subaru-san, you're there aren't you. (subaru sits there expressionlessly, smoking a cigarette) are you... still searching for "sakurazukamori"? subaru-san... as the decision of the sumeragi clan's master... I can't stop you. but... please... (she's crying silently) take care of yourself... (subaru looks somewhat sad) (next scene, he arrives at a traditional japanese house with a huge sakura tree outside, a woman kneeling bows to him at the door) woman : I've been expecting you. (she takes him to a room and opens the room, inside is a handsome young man and a pretty girl who both look very much happily in love. subaru is a bit surprised) subaru : ...is it alright? woman : ...yes. (she smiles gently... giving her another glance, subaru chants a spell) subaru : ...on kakaka bisanmaeisowaka on kakaka bisanmaeisowaka (with his spell and to the girl's horror, the guy is dissolving until only his skeleton's left) woman (goes up to comfort the horrified girl) : she loved that man so much, enough to revive him from the dead with sorcery, enough to exile her own soul from this world. but I suppose she's happy, because she has only one person in her heart, she can think of nothing but this man, the man that she loves. that is only possible for someone who's ill at heart. (she's hugging the girl gently... subaru looks at them and turns around to leave) subaru : ...why did you call for me? even if it's a dead man, as long as she is happy... woman : but I can't hand her over to anyone... even if it's a dead man... I too... am ill... (subaru leaves... a sakura peddle falls on his hand) subaru : think of nothing else but one person... it's only possible for someone who's ill at heart...
