The Disclaimer and background info: The Book: X Volume 8, Asuka Comics A-64-8. ISBN4-04-924598-1 C9979, retailed at 390 yen. The original Copyright (Japanese): CLAMP and Kadokawa Shoten, 1996. First printing: June 17, 1996. This "script" was written as an _aid_ for those who wanted to read the Japanese manga (as the US version will not be available for a couple more years -- yay, catchup)... not for sale or for commercial/public use. Please keep it for your own personal use. Thanks. A note for this volume and on: TK, Steve, and I have been using "minions" for the word "mitsukai". When CLAMP drew the poster for the "mitsukai" of the X movie, it was determined that the correct translation is "angels". This script reflects the terminology change from previous scripts (vol. 1~7) in calling the "mitsukai" as "angels" and not "minions", and future volumes will also reflect this change. Thanks for your cooperation. Signed 7/23/97 (thanks for waiting!)

P.37 SAIKI .... since I was 10 years old. YUZURIHA [Wow] You must have been cute when you were 10! Um, Saiki-san. Do you think your Present Self is a Result of the Life you Chose to Lead?
