[It is night time at the Aogiri household. Yuuhi, Chidori, Aya, Q-chan, and Suzumi are captivated by the event on the TV]
Reporter on TV: "You have the hagoromo at your house? What do you mean?"
Reporter on TV: "Kei, you're Shuro's relative. Is he really telling the truth?"
Kei on TV: "This guy just likes to fantasize a lot!"
Chidori: "Just now... Shuro says his family's the descendant of Tennyo..."
Yuuhi: "Those two... aren't they from that popular idol group--"
[On the TV screen, the two members of GeSang sing and dance under the spotlight.]
Chidori: "Yeah! They're relatives, both born in Okinawa..."
Yuuhi: "Okinawa! They have many Tennyo legends there! Hey, isn't one of the legends about--"
Aya: Stayed behind... just like Ceres...
Audience on TV: //Kiyaaaaaaaa!// {screaming fans}
Yuuhi: "Aya! You see, this is a lead!"
Aya: "Eh?"
Yuuhi: "The hagoromo! Even if Ceres' hagoromo is gone, there may be others left behind by the other Tennyo!"
Yuuhi: "You can't give up just because Aki changed... No matter what, you must do something... that's more like you."
Aya: "For... Aki?"
[Flashback of the changed Aki]
Aya: The Aki who transformed to his past life--
Yuuhi: "Yes... you must trust your brother. He will change back one day!"
Aya [recalling lines from Aki's letter]: [I may not be very dependable, but I'm still your brother. Our bond won't be broken so easily. To me and to the Mikage family, you're our only hope.]
Aya: "Can I? Can I... really do it?"
Yuuhi & Chidori [simultaneously shouting]: "Of course!"
Chidori: "We wouldn't be here otherwise!"
[Yuuhi reaches out and embraces Aya]
Aya: !
Yuuhi: "Go ahead and cry... cry as much as you need... then--"
[Aya cries softly as the scene fades. The next morning, Aya is sitting by the yard, reading Aki's letter again.]
//Birds chirping//
Aya [thinking about a line from the letter]: [If I become evil, please kill me.]
Aya: I wonder how was Aki feeling when he wrote this letter?
[Aya's cellular phone rings]
//DOKI// {sound of heartbeat}
Aya [answers phone]: "Hello?"
Tooya [sitting on a bed in a hotel room]: "Aya? Great, you haven't gone to bed yet."
Aya [tightens her grip on the receiver]: "...Tooya..."
Tooya: "Sorry I couldn't contact you earlier... are you alright?"
Tooya: "...I see--"
Aya: "Tooya, where are you?"
Tooya: "In the hotel in front of the hospital."
Aya: "The hospital? Did your wound get worse!?"
Tooya: "I'm OK... It seems that Aki was sent to the hospital."
Tooya: "It's good that I found him so soon... Don't worry, he's not in serious condition."
Aya: ...
Tooya: "Don't worry about me. Do whatever you had planned to do. Keep on being the Aya who won my heart!"
Aya [with a smile on her lips]: I'm not alone... "No problem, I can do it!"
Aya: I can't give up on Aki... I can't forget what the real Aki said. The hagoromo'- Yes! As long as I find the hagoromo...
Aya: "But... there are so many people here!"
Q-chan: "Shuro Tsukasa (18 years old) and Kei Tsukasa (19 years old) became famous when they started out as 'GeSang' last year. Their first song got a lot of positive attention since it was used as the main theme in a popular soap opera. Not only can they sing, but they are also good looking and can dance, so they're very popular. Besides, Shuro can also write lyrics..."
Chidori: "Kyuu-chan, you're awesome!"
Chidori: "The tickets for their on-tour concert sold out in one day! Can we really talk to someone so great? Hurray!--"
Aya: "Chidori, we're here to investigate the hagoromo, not to admire the idols!"
Aya: "I... it's just a little--"
Yuuhi: "Geez, women are all the same!"
Aya: "What's the signature paper you're holding for?"
Yuuhi: "I can use it if I meet Matsutaka or Tomochan."
Aya: "Oh yeah, the band on your forehead was ripped..."
Yuuhi: "I think the man who was with Aki took it... Still, even without the Tennyo symbol's power, I can still protect you."
Aya: "Come on, Tennyo's power is stronger."
Yuuhi: "Why, you...!!"
Aya: "Just kidding..."
[Yuuhi senses Aya is standing very close to him]
Aya: "I feel safe already just by having you near me. Thank you for yesterday... letting me lay on your chest. I feel so much better now."
Yuuhi: There was another time and there was more to it...
Yuuhi [reaches his left hand to take Aya's right hand]: ...
Aya [suddenly looks ahead]: "Ah!"
[Yuuhi pulls his hand back in fright]
?Aya?: Here they come!
[Shuro and Kei emerge from ahead where the massive crowd has them surrounded.]
Aya: "Excuse me, please let me pass!"
Fan #1: "Don't give up, go!"
Fan #2: "Shuro!!"
Fan #3: "Kei!"
Aya: "Let me pass..."
Fan #4: "Yaaaaaa- he's looking at me!"
[Shuro and Kei get into the taxi. Aya, Chidori, Yuuhi, and Q-chan are left behind... on the ground.]
Yuuhi: "What the hell! They're crazy! Damn."
Q-chan: "Fans are like that..."
Aya: ...
?Chidori?: "Ah! They're running away- what should we do?"
Q-san: "Run after them!"
?Yuuhi?: "How can we follow them??"
//Yuuhi's cellar phone rings//
[Yuuhi picks up the phone]
Suzumi: "Yuuhi? It's me. That two group band..."Peyang"?"
Yuuhi: "It's GeSANG!"
Suzumi: "Yeah, whatever, well, anyway, I talked to one of the officials from G Business Office about wanting to meet the group."
Yuuhi: "Huh?"
Yuuhi: "Why didn't you tell us earlier? Dork!"
Suzumi: "You rushed out before I had the chance! Jackass!!"
[Yuuhi turns SD and drops the phone to cover his head while Aya looks on.]
Yuuhi: "Waaaaa!"
Aya: "You lose again."
[At the TV station...]
Aya [thinking with determination]: All right, this time for sure!
[Aya, Q-chan, and Yuuhi walk down the hall with a guide while Chidori is jumping around and looking around with happiness.]
Chidori: "Kiyaaaaa-- It's my first time in a TV station!"
[Aya sweatdrops.]
Q-chan: "What if the casting director has the eyes for me and I am selected?"
Yuuhi: "What, to play in a comedy?"
[The guide stops.]
Kei: "Don't you dare say it again!!"
[Kei pushes Shuro out of a room. Shuro bumps into the wall on his back.]
Aya and Yuuhi : Shuro!?
Riyuriku: "I'm sorry to be asking you to come here at such short notice, Chief."
Kagami: "It's all right...what is it that want me to see?"
Riyuriku: "It's the Tennyo mummy..."
[Kagami stops in his tracks. Alexander stands before him in front of an opened chamber door.]
Kagami: "Oh? Are the test results out already?"
Kagami: "Alec..."
Riyuriku: "...the symbol sewed on Yuuhi Aogori's headband and the symbol that appears with the scars on Aki Mikage's body--"
Riyuriku: "From this Tennyo mummy, we find this... Please take a look under the electronic-microscope."
Riyuriku: "It's within the cells from the mummy... It may be some sort of unknown virus or bacteria. Maybe a different matter altogether... We are still unclear about that." Alexander: "It's the same as the matter we extracted from Ceres' blood."
Kagami: "...the drugs we gave the C-Genome were made from this. These matters can trigger the Tennyo power from the C-genoma..."
[Kagami takes his glasses off.]
Kagami: "I get it!"
|
Kagami: "So this is the source of Tennyo's superpower!" Kagami: "...and this 'shape'...if the 'shape' itself contains the power...!!" Riyuriku: "The power from the shape itself? You mean something like the pyramid power or the Gobousei?" {I have no idea how to explain this...basically, it's something that has five...light sources? Nevermind.} Kagami: "But, why would Aki have it on his body? He is Tennyo's descendant, but who else from our family besides him had shown--" Alexander: "I heard about... Aki..." [Kagami stops and turns to look at Alex.] Alexander: "I was very shocked..." Alexander: "He's an good, honest lad... even if he can't compare with Shiori..." Alexander: "Still... I like him very much." |
|
Kagami: "...Sorry. I'm not an expert on THAT kind of hobby. Although I can accept it..."
Alexander: "I'm serious!"
Alexander: "Only sixteen years! His whole life... just because of the plan... to imprison a teen like that in order to perform the experiments..."
Kagami: "...do you mean we forced him? Don't forget you are an accomplice yourself."
[Alex is startled. He looks down.]
Alexander: "Chief... Don't you have any sympathy for him?"
[Kagami recalls how Aki had hurt Tooya and kissed Ceres' picture.] Kagami: "...yeah...Shiso's will unconsciously appeared in Aki's mind..."
Kagami: "At the end, he even shut down his own heart... His pain must be overwhelming..."
Kagami: "Still. At this point, we can't go back now."
Kagami: "Tennyo's mummy--our ancestors left us the best legacy. With this we can mass produce the drugs!"
Kagami: "Distribute the drugs across Japan and capture all the C-genoma in one sweep!"
Alexander: "Chief! You know what happened in Tochigi last time! If we do this, many of the C-Genome might die of the rejection from the drugs! We should follow our original plan--find the right person after a detailed investigation--"
Kagami: "The drug is harmless to 'normal human beings.'"
Kagami: "Our next plan is now waiting to enter the next step-- 'World' and 'Hagoromo'.
[Meanwhile, back at the TV station.]
Kei: "Do you know what you just said!!"
Aya/Chidori/Yuuhi: ?
Akashi: "You two stop fighting!"
Shuro: "...of course I know."
Aya & Chidori: "Eh!?"
Akashi: "Shuro!! What the hell are you saying?!!"
Kei [to Aya and the rest]: "Everyone... he's just joking, so don't take it seriously."
Shuro [noticing Aya and smiling]: "Ho!"
Shuro: "Who are you? A fan? There's still some time left until we go on air, so I can autograph for you! Hehe..."
Kei: "Hey...Shuro! I'm not done talking to you!!--"
Shuro: "Oh, no you don't, Kei. No more fighting!"
[Shuro grabs Aya's hand and pulls her along.]
Aya: "Ah..."
[Shuro pulls Aya into a run away from the rest of the group.]
Yuuhi: "Aya!!"
//Bang//
Shuro: "Hahaha... Did you see the look on Kei's face?"
Aya: What...what was that all about? Shuro...
Aya : Ah! This is my chance!
Aya: "Shuro!!... you said on TV that Tennyo's your ancestor..."
Aya: "You said you have 'Tennyo's hagoromo' at your house. Is that true?"
Shuro: "Oh that... yeah... so?"
Aya: "Me, too!! An ancestor of mine is also a Tennyo!! I'm looking for the hagoromo!!"
Shuro: "Huh?"
Aya: "Please! Please let me take a look at the hagoromo you have!"
Shuro: "...sure! No problem..."
[Aya is startled. Shuro raises Aya's face up to face him.]
Shuro: "As long as you become 'mine', I'll give you the hagoromo!"
