"Minamoto no Hikaru has returned to Heian-Kyo bearing the Magatama recovered from the Tsuchigumo of Hitachi." "Her brother, Raikou, however, had already passed away." "Under the pretext of monoimi to cleanse herself from her long journey the heartbroken Hikaru continues to seclude herself in her home." "ACT FOUR RASHOMON" "Lady Hikaru..." "No, thank you." "A messenger from the Emperor was here just now." "This period of seclusion to purify yourself from battle must end today." "please prepare to visit the Palace." "I want to wait until after I've come out of mourning for my brother." "It would be unwise to delay your visit further." "Incurring the displeasure of the Court would compromise the Minamoto name." "Tell the messenger, I shall be postponing my visit to the Palace." "You are acting like a child!" "Like a child?" "Is it childish of me to mourn the death of my own brother?" "He doesn't even have a proper grave..." "There is no telling who may be listening to us." "From now on, please refrain from speaking of Lord Raikou." "Since he wasn't your fl esh and blood I don't expect you to understand my grief over losing my brother..." "Oops." "She's hot!" "You haven't been around lately." "What brings you here now?" "Just paying my respects." "Actually, I'm flat broke after spending all my money on sake so I was hoping that I could get a meal out of the Taisho." "Where is he, anyway?" "Lord Raikou is..." "He is not here now." "No?" "Well, I guess I'm out of luck, then." "But listen, can you at Ieast tell me who that hot girl was?" "You're not a man unless you take a woman's advances over a meal, right?" "I guess I'II go after her!" "Hold it!" "What do you mean, hold it?" "Don't thwart a man's love!" "Let me guess, is that girl with you?" "How dare you!" "That young woman happens to be Minamoto no Mitsunaka's daughter and Lord Raikou's younger sister, Lady Hikaru!" "She is a noblewoman far beyond the reach of lowly men like you and me!" "Are we clear on that?" "Raikou's younger sister?" "They don't look anything alike!" "Who knew the Taisho had a sister that good-Iooking?" "So you have a thing for her, do you?" "You bastard!" "There are some things you just shouldn't make jokes about!" "I, Watanabe no Tsuna, have devoted my Iife to Lord Raikou since childhood as his loyal servant." "I would never presume to harbor such feelings..." "The way you're reacting, it looks like I hit the nail on the head." "So what's stopping you?" "Listen, you..." "Seriously, Tsuna, you're too dense!" "Look, you can't let a pretty girl like that wander around on her own." "Even if I don't attack her, it won't be long before some slave trader or bandit will..." "I'm not joking." "The capital's a dangerous place these days." "Have you heard the rumor about the demon haunting Rashomon?" "A demon?" "Seimei, have you heard the rumor about the Rashomon demon?" "Seiryoden" "I have cautioned you repeatedly." "Seiryoden" "Seiryoden" "You must not attract attention." "Seiryoden" "I was told by the Minister of the Right that if I were to spread rumors of such a demon then no one would go near Rashomon without cause." "Damn the Minister of the Right for meddling..." "What would you have me do?" "We cannot do anything about the rumor now." "You must order Ibaraki not to use that location again." "Matsumushi." "The Rashomon demon, eh?" "What a stroke of genius!" "My brother..." "It was crying..." "I could hear your flute crying..." "I lost someone dear to me..." "Someone I thought would always be with me..." "I see..." "When I Ieft for the East to dedicate my Okina dance this place was not yet in such ruins." "People lament, they grieve, and they mourn." "That is how one prays for the souls of the dead." "But no matter how much you grieve, there is no bringing them back..." "Nothing is certain in this world." "Nothing ever stays in the same place." "One may choose to wallow in grief." "But that will not comfort the souls of the departed." "Why do you play the flute?" "What?" "I dance for the hopes they entrusted to me." "The hopes they entrusted..." "Yes." "Would you play your fl ute for me again?" "There it is!" "That way!" "I caught a glimpse of it over there!" "The Kebiishi?" "There's been a rumor that a demon has been haunting Rashomon of late." "That a flute can be heard at sundown and a shadowy figure can be seen dancing to it..." "Don't tell me..." "The Kebiishi have nothing on their minds but their orders." "To kill the demon." "Surely they'II understand if I explain..." "I am Minamoto no..." "Human or demon, it's all the same to them!" "But that's ridiculous..." "Do not fear." "Lady Hikaru!" "Hey, wait for me, Tsuna!" "Lady Hikaru!" "What's going on?" "Has something happened here?" "Lord Watanabe!" "A demon has appeared along with the sound of a fl ute, and is on a rampage!" "Did you say a flute?" "Lady Hikaru!" "Where?" "Where was the demon sighted?" "At Rashomon!" "Rashomon!" "Hey, Tsuna!" "Lady Hikaru!" "You damned monster!" "Lady Hikaru!" "Bastard!" "What have you done with Lady Hikaru?" "Hikaru?" "As if you didn't know!" "Hey, Tsuna..." "That's the demon of Rashomon?" "Damn you!" "What have you done with Lady Hikaru?" "Tsuna..." "Tsuna!" "Lady Hikaru!" "Lady Hikaru, are you all right?" "Are you hurt?" "I'm fi ne." "Are you all right?" "Lady Hikaru, stay behind me." "You won't escape death this time!" "Tsuna, put down your sword!" "What do you mean?" "This man protected me from the Kebiishi's arrows." "What?" "Is that true?" "In that case..." "I am sorry." "please forgive me!" "So long as the misunderstanding has been cleared up..." "Your name, sir!" "please, I would Iike to know your name!" "I am Mansairaku." "Mansairaku..." "The Imperial Entertainer?" "The one they say has no peer?" "Mansairaku..." "You two!" "What are you doing, wasting time here?" "A man jumped from the top of Rashomon and ran off, away from the capital!" "There was definitely something suspicious about him!" "It's the truth, dammit!" "Away from the capital, you say?" "That's right!" "His hair was all disheveled like this and he looked like a demon to me." "Didn't any of you notice?" "Lady Hikaru, we should be on our way home." "Yes." "Oh, hey!" "You're that little beauty I ran into earlier!" "Ow!" "Shall we?" "Nothing is certain in this world." "Nothing ever stays in the same place." "One may choose to wallow in grief." "But that will not comfort the souls of the departed." "I dance for the hopes they entrusted to me." "The hopes of my brother..." "You summoned me, Lady Hikaru?" "Pardon me." "You're dressed for..." "Let us go, Tsuna." "So you're going to take the Magatama..." "It was you who advised me to visit the Palace today." "Indeed!" "So I did, my lord." "Right, you should go get ready then." "Yes, my lord!" "The capital will be saved, thanks to this Magatama..." "Seiryoden" "Because of your efforts, there are now only two more Magatamas to recover." "Two more?" "But I thought there was only one Magatama?" "Don't be ridiculous." "If this world could have been saved with a single Magatama it would have been saved long ago." "Indeed." "AII things in this universe are comprised from the five Qi generated by Yin and Yang Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water." "The Magatamas can only assert their power when all 5 are together." "Am I right, Seimei?" "Why didn't you tell us before that there was more than one?" "Until we could determine whether or not you could be trusted it would not have done for us to divulge everything." "He is right, Raikou." "One's soul is a flower...its seeds are its skills." "You have proven to us that you possess the seed of merit." "Whether or not this seed will flower depends entirely on your mental attitude." "But we warriors are the ones who must undertake this journey." "We cannot hope to accomplish our mission unless we know we have your trust!" "Raikou, do you not see that your anger is misdirected?" "Should it not be directed toward your own shortsightedness in believing there to be only one Magatama?" "The battle to recover the remaining Magatamas could very well be even more grueling than the Iast one." "You will doubtless be hampered often by your current level of knowledge." "So that you may act with more speed and precision..." "Seimei has recommended a guide for you one who is well-versed in the workings of the universe." "Yes, my lord." "Two Magatamas remain..." ""You will doubtless be hampered often by your..."" ""...current level of knowledge," he said!" "Damn that Minister of the Left!" "He goes too far with his insults!" "I thought I was going to explode with rage!" "He has defiled the Minamoto clan's honor!" "We cannot trust court nobles and onmyoji for this reason!" "Tsuna, perhaps there's some truth in what he said." "My lord..." "We cannot resolve struggles by force alone." "By utilizing the workings of the universe perhaps we can achieve victory with a minimum of fighting." "...thereby preventing needless bloodshed." "My brother used to say..." "The only way for a warrior to save his people is to take back the stolen Magatamas." "If we succeed in recovering all of the Magatamas thereby saving our people, think how pleased your brother will be." "Yes." "Let us go forth and recover the remaining Magatamas for my late brother, and for the suffering people of the capital." "Yes, my lord." "My brother, I must ask you to wait a bit longer." "I swear to bring the remaining Magatamas back to the capital to fulfill your hopes and to achieve peace!" "My brother..." "please lend me your strength!" "For the sake of the Minamoto clan and the Emperor..." "I am counting on you to retrieve the Magatamas." "I shall not disappoint you, Father." "For the capital, I shall not return without the two remaining Magatamas." "By the way, what happened to Raikou's sister?" "Nothing." "How can you be so half-hearted about it?" "Shut up." "You really should ask the Taisho to bring her along, you Iadykiller!" "That will not do!" "We cannot take a woman on a journey in which we shall see combat." "It's going to be a drag, hanging around you two he-men!" "What we need is more humor and more girls." "You can't go on a Iong journey without those two ingredients!" "Well, then, we should be on our way." "Oh..." "Huh?" "As they are about to set off on their journey, someone appears before Hikaru and her comrades." "Later, it would be the actions of this woman that would drag them all into unexpected trouble..." "To be continued..." "Outside the window, the rain is falling, shutting us in." "If you feel bad about today, then come pick me up." "That's what I want to say, but I can't..." "The dreams that I wished upon a star are all coming true, one by one." "Yet I just can't seem to catch up with you." "The dreams that I wished upon a star are all coming true, so..." "I want to get closer to you." "Hey, how the hell did they get me to go on this Magatama hunt with them?" "Oh well, the Taisho and Tsuna can't make it on their own and besides, we have to rescue those lovely ladies from Hitachi okay, what the hell!" "Huh?" "By any chance, could our new ally be a woman?" "Whoa, what a babe!" "Act Five, Urabe." "Don't miss it!"
