Tsuzuki: "Wasn't that a rather interesting show." [Picks up Hisoka's coat, all that's left.] "How does it feel to kill your ex-partner by your own hand? Tsuzuki... You killed that boy. It's increased again...your crime..." Hijiri: "You bastard even...!!" Watari: [Holding back Hijiri] "Stop it, Hijiri! You aren't a match for him!!" Watari: "Tsuzuki's power alone would have been trouble, but plus Saaga's power...No matter how many of us try, we'll only be killed. No one try anything!! Don't move!!" Tsuzuki: "What did you think of Hisoka's end? Hijiri. You be a good child and stay there. Next will be Kazusa's last moments." Building: "Shield 1 broken. Saagatanasu has penetrated inside. Monitoring continues." Watari: "Chief. I'm going to block off a corridor with a forcefield and then pursuit it." Konoe: "I'll go as well. With Kurosaki-kun gone now, I'm the only one who can use the ReiBaku. Don't know if this old man's skill can hold him." Tsuzuki walks down alone an empty corridor. Tsuzuki: "The environmental condition control system must be broken. Hot enough to make one dizzy." This is a human body after all... Tsuzuki: "...this is the courtroom?" Tsuzuki runs up against something. Tsuzuki: "They've raised a forcefield..." Still persistent on stopping me huh? "That's far enough! Saagatanasu!!" Konoe: "This will be your grave, demon..!!" Tsuzuki: "With the forcefield blocking off the courtroom, you plan to make an explosion? Stop such foolishness. You'll only be hurting Tsuzuki's body." "Don't be so sure!! No matter how useless, let's try it again." Tsuzuki: Impossible...you... Hisoka: "You're on trial, as a godless human!!" Watari: "Kid!!" Konoe: "Kurosaki-kun!!" Tsuzuki: "You...You're still alive huh...Tsuzuki didn't kill you enough?" Hisoka: "Don't be ridiculous!! There is no reason to lose!! You alone I absolutely won't lose to..." Watari: "That's right!" Konoe: "We will safe Tsuzuki!!" Tsuzuki: "Hah! Save? You think this man is something worth saving? This God abandoned black sheep..." Konoe: "You...didn't...You even looked into Tsuzuki's memories..." Tsuzuki: "Yes, I saw it...more or less everything. That night 79 years ago, Tsuzuki's numerous guilty crimes, even the connection between you and him, Konoe!!" Hisoka suddenly falls to his knees. Watari: "Kid!! Are you alright!?" Hisoka: I can feel him...Tsuzuki...!! Tsuzuki: "It was simple to usurp Tsuzuki's mind, Konoe...Just show him that night and he fell apart. Just like broken glass!" Tsuzuki: "Right now he's seeing over and over the guilty crimes of his past self into insanity!! In the other world I made he can't escape, he can't stop it until he dies! Over and over!! He'll keep seeing his crimes!!" Sadness... Tsuzuki: "Here, you can hear it, his screams! His wailing!!" Konoe: "Stop it!! Don't press Tsuzuki anymore please!!" Tsuzuki: "Who should be on trial!?" Despair and terror Tsuzuki: "Me!? Don't make me laugh!!" Hisoka: And an all devouring darkness, nothing!! Tsuzuki: "A savior of humans?! Even god has turned away from this stained soul!! This black sheep Judas!!" {Theria: Domo arigatou to Kael who pointed out that YUDA probably refered to Judas in the bible. I just couldn't remember his name. Judas was the apostle who betrayed Jesus.} Hisoka: The blood flowing from his brow, looks almost like tears. That demon's words, like I can hear Tsuzuki's bitter loneliness... Konoe: "Kurosaki-kun! Hurry!! The ReiBaku!!"> {Matsushita-sensei: Actually, Hisoka's arm is fractured.} Tsuzuki: "Fools...no matter how many times you do it, it won't touch me." Hisoka: "Until it does then...no matter how many times it takes!!" Tsuzuki: "Fools...no matter what trick, no matter how many times..." [Tsuzuki breaks out of it again] "It won't work I said!! Do you understand!!! "Come back!!!" Watari: "What!? The entire corridor should have been sealed off, why..." Hijiri appears. Hijiri: "Come back! Tsuzuki!! Come back to us!! Everyone's waiting!!" Tsuzuki: "Ahahahaha! Useless!! There's nothing left of his will!! How can he return again!!" And in the darkness... Tsuzuki!!! A child Tsuzuki is running. Tsuzuki: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Forgive me... I didn't know...didn't understand. So...so please...!! Saaga: "Where do you try to escape, you whose brow is marked. There is no place to run away. No one will forgive you. They hate you. Loathe you." A spotlight appears over a light-haired boy. Boy: "Don't like you. I don't like you. You are filthy, stained." Tsuzuki: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Boy: "I don't like you. Don't come near me, monster!! I HATE YOU!!!" "I like you." "I like you. You're the one who protected me." Tsuzuki: "...Hijiri?" Saaga: Impossible...This Hijiri isn't part of my illusion...!? Why!? Where did it come from!!? Hijiri: "I don't know about the past. I only see the you I know now...And so I like you. The past doesn't matter as much as the important now." So return Hijiri: "I like you..." To me, to where everyone is... Come back, return to your true self... Saaga: My pocket dimension is cracking..!? He is coming out of his heart's darkness. Hijiri's appearance was able to alleviate Tsuzuki's guilty conscience!? Hijiri: How long do you plan to play, Tsuzuki? What's confusing about the demon? Kill it!! Call on the blood of the beast that sleeps within you!! Awaken!!! Let them see the power of the family of darkness!!! Saagatanasu is being torn apart by Tsuzuki's power. Saaga: "This voice...I remember it. I see...this was all your doing...!! EnMa!!!" Hijiri who is not Hijiri smirks. Tsuzuki blows apart the rest of Saagatanasu and the effects are felt outside as well. The demon is being ejected from his body. Watari: "It's coming!! The ReiBaku took effect!!" They're coming apart!! Watari: Humans giving birth to demons... Saaga: "How dare you!! You insects!!! I will devour you all!!" Finally separated from Tsuzuki, Saagatanasu flies immediately for Watari and Hisoka. Suzaku and Byakko seem to be preparing to attack. Tsuzuki: "Hijiri...HIJIRI!!!" Large explosion. Hijiri feels like he's falling. Hijiri: It's like...someone faraway...is calling me... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Several days later, the heads of the various Chos are meeting with EnMa to discuss what to do in the aftermath. Konoe: "DaiOh-sama!! I beg of you to be lenient! At the time, it wasn't Tsuzuki!" Other Chiefs: "Be quite, Konoe!! Is there a person in EnMaCho who can get possessed by a demon so easily!!" A Something: "Settle down, all of you!! You are before DaiOh-sama!!" {Theria: Note what Konoe is doing to one of the other chiefs at this time.} "Conspiring with a demon, destroying a Cho, is a crime of treason against EnMaOh-Sama. Unforgivable!! He must be given the capital punishment!!!" Konoe: "B...but...!!" Other Chiefs: "DaiOhSama!" "His power is too dangerous! Take drastic measures!!" Konoe: "DaiOh-Sama!!" EnMaOh: "This incident was caused by the demoon that had possessed Tsuzuki's body. I've also received a letter from Grand Duke Ashitarote. Finding fault in Saaga. Konoe, I leave it to you." Konoe: "...th, thank you very much, DaiOh-sama!!" A Something: "Is this alright? EnMa-sama. This may happen again." EnMaOh: "I don't care. It's been said to keep your friends close but your enemies closer." A Something: "Yes." {Theria: Okay, so it wasn't that exact quote but I think it's close.} EnMaOh: Again, I can't let you go. Tsuzuki... At the hospital(?) in Meifu, Hijiri has just woken up with a bandage around his head. Watari: "You're finally awake, boy?" Hisoka: "You've been sleeping for a full day." Hijiri: "Watari-san...Kazusa...Hisoka...The demon, Tsuzuki, what happened?" Hisoka: "He was vaporized by the Shiki's attack. The contract in your left eye has also disappeared. When the demon was exorcised from Tsuzuki, they listened to Tsuzuki's orders and attacked it. It's over, Hijiri. More or less..." Hijiri: "Oh...That's good, huh, Kazusa...Let's go back home together." Kazusa looks at him sadly. Watari: "Hijiri...you can't do that." Hijiri: "Eh..Why...!?" Watari: "Kazusa is dead. She died shielding you. That time, when one of the supports was falling toward you, she used her own body as a shield to save you." Hisoka: "We thought she would be safe hidden away, but it seems she sensed something. We'll take care of her, don't worry." A bit later, outside, Hijiri walks up behind Tsuzuki. Hijiri: "You aren't going to see me off? Tsuzuki." Tsuzuki: "...ah. How can I show my face to you? I...after I tried to kill all of you? I couldn't even reject it...I said I would protect you but..." Hijiri: "It's alright if you weren't able to protect me. Whatever is fine. Just live happily...for yourself. Tsuzuki: "...Hijiri..." Hijiri: "After all, I'm also young! If we train, we'll become stronger. So we don't lose to the old guys!" Arrows pointing at Tsuzuki read: "Old guy" and "97 years old". Become strong, for your sake. Hijiri: "You'll come to my concert. I'll play well...I'll play very well so...And then...and then..." Next time, by my own power, I'll play the Demon's Trill. Later... Tsuzuki: "He's gone...Hijiri." Hisoka: "Didn't I tell you? A promise isn't an easy thing to keep." Tsuzuki: "You were right...I couldn't protect him...It's a contradiction. Shinigami kill people, no matter how much they want to protect them. But I wasn't planning to lie..." If I sacrifice myself, offering myself without limit. "I truly wanted to protect those two. I don't know if you'll believe me but..." Hisoka: "I understand. Everyone understands. You're always serious. You worry too much. Idiot." Everyone knows. You aren't bad... Back in the office... Tsuzuki: "Chief Konoe, I've caused you a lot of trouble." Konoe: "I didn't do anything. If you want to thank someone, thank DaiOh-sama!!" Tsuzuki: "...Chief...But that's expected. EnMa-sama must prize an employee with a 70 year employment record." {Theria: Check out everyone's faces, especially Kazusa's.} Konoe: "You may not be fired but...you are going to pay back the costs of repairing everything that was destroyed!!! Until it's paid back, you are going to work!! Summer and winter and everything else bonus cut! You imbecile!!!" Tsuzuki: "No waaaaaaaaay!!!" Watari: "It's always this way..." Hisoka: "...my stomach..." Much later, back at Hijiri's music school. Female Classmate: "Good good. You're great, Minase." Costume coordinator Yamashita: "Why am I getting all stressed out. Good luck! Hijiri!!" Stage setting Hijiri steps out onto stage and begins to play the Demon's Trill. Principal: "...magnificent!!" Female Classmate: "When did he get here?" Yamashita: Principal!!" Principal: "This is the true Demon's Trill...I've never heard such lovely music!!" Surely a divine melody... Tsuzuki: "The Demon's Trill is an unworldly beautiful piece." Hisoka: "...ah." Tsuzuki: "I thought it would be weird." Hisoka: "A demon made it, an extremely difficult but extremely beautiful piece...Those that fell from heaven, telling humans of the treason against God." To continue playing the Demon's Trill, is an act of betrayal some say. Tsuzuki: "Whatever." Kazusa: "Hi-chan is a philosopher!" {Hi-chan refers to Hisoka now.} Hisoka: "It's over. Let's go." Hijiri receives a huge ovation for his performance. Female Classmate: "Good work, Minase!" Another female classmate: "I'm so happy for you!!" Hijiri: "Thanks." Yamashita: "I was soooo moved by it!! Able to play that Demon's Trill, you truly are a genius, Minase!! I'm in love!" Hijiri: "Uh...thanks, Yamashita..." {Matsushita: But please don't fall in love.} "Here are more flowers." "These are from the principal. And there was one before that. Huh...? The card has no name on it...What's with the guy who gave this." This... Hijiri: "Nope! It's fine. I know who it's from." Yamashita: "Who!?" Hijiri: "It's a secret!!" He goes outside. That's right, it's our secret... "Though we didn't meet this time...it's because we'll surely meet again..." Hijiri: "You can think that way, Tsuzuki..." My friends wherever you are, from now on, my music I devote to you. My violin will reach you... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous Manga Index Next
