SDK 234 - Four Years of Determination 1 Sasuke: [Kyo beat Nobunaga...!!] Sasuke: Onime no Kyo... Sasuke: [That's the real Onime no Kyo... you can't even compare anything else to that... He can't speak to his sword, but with power like that, I wonder if he can actually take on the Taishirou and the Former Aka no Ou...?] Sasuke: [But...] Sasuke: [How did Onime no Kyo get his body back so suddenly...!?] 2 Akari: Nozomu... Akari: [You're so stupid... why did you want the Mibu's power...?] Akari: I'd sell my soul to move up in this world... There's nothing better than that... Akari: [But didn't I almost fall into the same trap? But someone stopped me...] Akari: [...Is that what happened, Nozomu?] Akari: [What did you see in in his past...?] Akari: [Nozomu said that he found the Mibu Clan's great secret in the memories of the Former Aka no Ou... and Nobunaga said that even Hishigi and the other Taishirou don't know it...] Akari: [What kind of secret is it!? And now that the only person who knew it is dead... will everything fall into darkness...? No! That can't be true... or can it...!?] Yuya: I didn't tell the secret to anyone, so... Akari: [But... what if Yuya-chan heard the secret from Nozomu!?] Akari: Ah! Now isn't the time to get lost in thoughts!! AKari: Come on Yuya-chan, you can do it... just a little more... Akari: ...Yuya-chan!? Akari: Y... 3 Akari: [She... she's not breathing!?] Yuya: [It hurts...] Nozomu: I'm so sorry, Yuya... I'm a criminal. Yuya: It hurts, Nii-sama... I can't breathe... Nozomu: In my selfish quest for power, I searched for the Mibu's great secret... Yuya: No...!! Nii-sama, please don't die...!! Nozomu: I deserved to be killed by Mibu Kyoushirou... it was my fate... Yuya: [It hurts...] Yuya: [...Ah!? It doesn't hurt anymore...] 4 Yuya: Nii-sama!! Yuya: You're alright!! Thank goodness... Nozomu: I can't go with you... I just wanted to see you one last time... Yuya: What!? Go where!? We're finally together - let's just stay here a bit!! Nozomu: Yuya... Yuya, when you say that, it makes me sad... Yuya: [Wh... whatever kind of person he was... that doesn't change the fact that he's my brother...!!] Nozomu: Yuya... you're not a little girl anymore... You've grown into such a strong, beautiful and kind young woman... you'll be alright without me. Yuya: Eww, Nii-sama, you're being so weird and formal... Yuya: Like I'll never see you again... Nozomu: Yuya... 5 Yuya: I love you, Nii-sama!! Yuya: We can be together from now on...!! Nozomu: Yuya... Nozomu: Thank you... I'm so happy that I got a chance to meet you, Yuya... Nozomu: But I want you to be happy... Nozomu: So go now... everyone is waiting for you... Yuya: Huh?! Nii-sama, where are you going!? Nozomu: It's not time for you to come with me yet... Nozomu: So go back, quickly... Yuya: Nii-sama, wait!! Yuya: Nii-sama... Yuya: Nii-sama!! 6 Akari: Thank goodness, she's breathing again!! Akari: Yuya-chan... Yuya-chan!! Hold on!! Sasuke: Yuya-neechan!! ...Damn it!! Why won't she open her eyes...!? We can't heal that wound, and she's barely breathing!! Sasuke: Akari, do something!! You're the only one who can!! Akari: ...It's no use!! I think Nobunaga used some kind of magic that keeps the wound from closing... Sasuke: What...? Akari: Damn it!! What am I supposed to do!? 7 Akari: Yuya-chan!! Can you hear me!? Yuya-chan!! Sasuke: This is bad... she doesn't look so good... Akari: Yuya-chan... Akari: Yuya-chan!! Hold on! Come on, you've got to try!! Akari: YUYA-CHAN!! Akari: Yuya-chan... Akari: Come on!! Open your eyes!! Sasuke: Come on, Yuya-neechan!! Akari: Y.... 8 Akari: Yuya-chan!! Kyo: Gah...! Akari: K... Kyo!? Kyo: Gah... ah... Kyo: Grr... ah...!! Kyo: You bastard... don't you dare... Sasuke: Onime no Kyo!! What's going on!? Kyo: S... Kyo: STOP IT!! 9 Sasuke: Wh... what!? Akari: K... Kyo...!? Akari: Kyo!! What happened!! Just... Akari: Just hold on!! Sasuke: Hey...!! Onime no Kyo!! Sasuke: What the hell...? Kyo: Ugh... gah.... Kyo: F... fuck... 10 Sasuke: What the... Sasuke: [Mibu Kyoushirou's body is moving on it's own...!?] Sasuke: What the hell is going on... Kyo: Stop it... Sasuke: That voice... no way... Kyo: Stop fucking with me!! Sasuke: [Onime no Kyo!?] 11 Akari: What... but... how...? 12 Akari: [Who is that!?] Sasuke: How is he moving...!? Sasuke: [If Onime no Kyo is back in Mibu Kyoushirou's body, then... Kyo's body should be empty...] Sasuke: [Who's in Kyo's body!?] Kyoushirou: ...From the beginning, this has been planned. Kyoushirou: Since four years ago, when I sealed your body... Kyoushirou: All has gone according to plan... Akari: ...What!? Sasuke: Gah...!! Akari: S... Sasuke-kun!! Akari: This feeling... it can't be... 13 Kyo: Y... you bastard... Kyoushirou: If I end this quickly, it will prevent greater bloodshed. Kyoushirou: In the past I have avoided this confrontation... Sasuke: [Shibien is... Shibien is having a violent reaction to him...] Sasuke: [That is...] Sasuke: [Without a doubt...] Kyoushirou: But now... Kyoushirou: I won't run anymore. Sasuke: [That man in Onime no Kyo's body is...] 14 Sasuke: [Mibu... Kyoushirou...!!] 15 Kyoushirou: I have decided... that I will take custody of this body and of Yuya-san... 16 Sasuke: What....!? Sasuke: But... how!? Sasuke: [Somehow Onime no Kyo's soul and Mibu Kyoushirou's soul changed places!!] Akari: What the... Akari: What just happened...!? ...Did Mibu Kyoushirou do this!? HIshigi: .... Kyo: Kyoushirou... give me back my body so I can kill you!! Kyoushirou: ...Im afraid that's not possible. You're no match for me now. Kyoushirou: Basically... 17 Kyoushirou: You were doing so poorly that I lent you this body temporarily. Kyoushirou: But unfortunately, I cannot let you have it back. ...I promised the Former Aka no Ou. Kyo: You promised... the FOrmer Aka no ou!? Kyoushirou, you've met with him!? Kyoushirou: Yes, many times. I spoke from the heart... Kyoushirou: ...Because I will do anything to save Yuya-san. Akari: !? Sasuke: What!? Akari: When did he...!? Kyoushirou: Yuya... san... Sasuke: M... Mibu... Kyoushirou... Sasuke: He... he looked at Yuya-neechan with such kind eyes... Kyoushirou: What a terrible wound... I can only imagine how it must hurt... I'm sorry. My determination alone was not enough... Kyoushirou: But don't worry... I've made up my mind... Kyo: Bastard!! Give her back!! 18 Kyo: She's not yours to take!! Sasuke: What...? Sasuke: He stopped Onime no Kyo's punch like it was nothing...!? Kyoushirou: ...That's enough. Please behave yourself. I don't want you injuring Yuya-san. Kyoushirou: ...I cannot trust you with Yuya-san. Kyo: Grr!! 19 Kyo: Quit fucking around, you stuck-up asshole... Kyo: You ran from the Mibu... you ran from me... you even run from yourself!! Kyoushirou: .... Kyoushirou: That's true, Kyo... Kyoushirou: What you said is true... Kyoushirou: At that time, four years ago... Yukimura: ...Why are you crying, Kyoushirou-san...? Kyoushirou: Ah...? Kyoushirou: Four years ago, after I had defeated you, I couldn't keep my composure... I had sealed your body, but that was only the beginning... Kyoushirou: There was blood... so much blood surrounding that body... Kyoushirou: And Yuya-san... was swallowed up by it... Kyoushirou: That is why I have decided that I will not run anymore. Aka-chan: Very well then, Kyoushirou... if I lend you Kyo's body for a bit, then perhaps next time you'll remember your promise to *me*? 20 Kyoushirou: I swore an oath to the Former Aka no Ou... another promise... Kyoushirou: You were best suited to the position, but we conspired to steal your body. Kyoushirou: So that I may be the legitimate successor to the throne... Kyoushirou: So that I may be the next Aka no Ou... 21 Sasuke: Wh... what!? Mibu Kyoushirou is... Hishigi: .... Kyo: Bastard... there's no way... Kyoushirou: The idea god of all creation... your body and my soul... I will be lord of this world!!
