Kaijin!

Here and now, by the power of the four gods...

...seal the evil demon Tenkou away!

REKKA... SHI NEN!!!

Not like this...

My ambitions... My ambitions will not be ended like this...

I will not be sealed away like this!

Get lost!

You say Tasuki saw water...?

MIAKA!!!

Taka!

This is it! The same as before!

What with this water?! It's trapping us, too!

It almost seems to be alive!

Hikou! Stop this!

Show yourself! Hikou!

Chichiri...

Chichiri?!

Why? Why did you betray me, Hikou?!

Ch- Chichiri's voice...

Give her back... Give her back!

Hou Jun!

Who are those guys?

Is that... Chichiri?

Stop it...

Hou Jun!

Stop it...

STOP IT!!!

Chichiri!

Chichiri... Or, rather, Hou Jun...

Do you remember?

Eight years ago, that was how you killed me.

That is why I am going to take everything from you.

Everything that you now hold dear...

I'm taking the Priestess of Suzaku.

If you want her back, then come to me.

MIAKA!!!

Taka! TAKA!!!

MIAKA!!!

Chichiri...

It's no use. He's unconscious.

How about on your end?

- Looks like a basket case. - I see.

It looks like Hikou was successful.

The Suzaku Seven... What fools they are.

In the end, they've fallen right into my hands.

Hold it, Taka! Wait!

Lemme go, Nuriko! If I don't move fast, Miaka will be...!

I know how you feel, but there's nothing we can do right now.

That's right, Tamahome.

First of all, we don't even know where they've gone, do we?

Couldn't we find that out if Chichiri was back in action?

Hey, Mitsukake, can't you use your healing power to wake him up faster?

The shock he took damaged his spirit more than his body.

He shouldn't be forced awake by another person.

We'll have to wait for nature to heal him. For Chichiri's sake.

I... I can't fight him.

Are you awake now?

You saw it all, didn't you? How I killed my best friend.

Forgive me, Hou Jun!

I can't stay with you! I can't!

You love... You love Hikou?!

Why...? I trusted you both!

The flood that happened then...

...took from me all the people that I loved.

My family... The woman I loved...

But with Hikou, it's different. I...

I just can't bring myself to kill him again.

Chichiri...

I lost my family in that flood as well.

But I still had Shoka with me. She saved my soul.

But, as you already know, despite my powers...

...I still let her die. Twice.

And I hated myself for it.

But now I understand very well why I was born with my powers.

Not to hurt people, but to protect those I love.

My friends here now are proof of that. And you're one of them.

Don't suffer alone. Please, look to us for support.

We all just want to help.

I know it's hard for you to reopen that wound.

But isn't it time now?

Time to set both your friend and yourself free?

You see that, don't you?

Forgive me, Chichiri. All you seem to do is save me.

All I do is depend on you.

But we all need you! Please, at least let me go after them!

Chichiri...

I'll go!

Are you awake, Priestess of Suzaku?

Hikou! Wait! Let me out of here!

Be quiet. Your friends will soon be coming for you.

Assuming they aren't cowards.

You're Chichiri's best friend, aren't you?

Why are you doing this?!

He isn't my friend at all.

I am now Kanki, one of the Four Great Kings of the Earth.

The dark lord Tenkou has made me a demon god...

...who controls drought and rain.

Look at it outside of this limestone cave.

At the water to which I have given life.

I believe this power could even reach into your own world now.

I didn't kidnap you just to lure Chichiri here.

I can influence the other world by using your body as a medium.

The water born of my wings will rob people of their reason.

Bring out the evil within them.

Tasuki demonstrated that quite well.

I'll cast that spell on all the humans there.

After I kill Chichiri and the rest of the Suzaku Seven!

I won't let you!

Chichiri and my friends won't be beaten by you!

"The love of friends?" It's nothing but an illusion.

A flood warning is now in effect for all areas.

The heavy rains have affected transportation systems as well.

Whew! God DAMN!

Welcome back.

I've never seen the convenience stores stripped bare like this!

There wasn't any decent food left...

...so I had to go a little heavy on the junk food.

Huh? Where's Yui?

- Taking a bath. - Oh? Maybe I'll join her.

Sit down NOW!

You have no sense of humor lately.

So, any progress on deciphering it?

Look at this. There's a lot written here...

...that happened way before Miaka and Taka first went in.

On top of that, I can't figure out the weird word endings it uses.

Well, keep at it. That scroll's all we've got right now.

Miaka, forgive me.

I still don't understand any of this.

Yui!

Not even your voice can reach her.

Nothing is more undependable than the human heart.

Shall we peer into this girl's true heart?

What...?!

Yui!

I wonder if she was really that worried about you?

Yui, hang in there! Don't let that water beat you!

There's no shame in hypocrisy.

All people always put themselves first.

Miaka...? Miaka is that you?

Yui!

It's okay. I'm all right.

You don't have to worry about me.

Do all you can with Taka and the others...

Believe in him and in everyone.

I'll be right here, praying for you.

Yui...

Hikou, let my friend go! LET HER GO!

Yui, what happened?!

Are you okay?!

Quit looking!

I'm fine. I was just having a little talk with Miaka.

Huh?

Hikou... Do you really...

Do you really mistrust friends and human hearts so much?!

But, someone who gives up that faith...

...and gives into hatred is the real loser!

You'd really prefer to live with that sort of regret forever?!

You know where they are, don't you?

I'm goin', too, no matter what you say.

I... What Hikou did to you...

...is what I was gonna do to Tama. The thing is...

The thing is, he... They don't blame me at all.

I always thought of Miaka like a sister, but...

I'm a man, too.

I never thought feelings that low were inside of me.

I... I don't care if I die. If it's for those two, then I...

No person is ever really complete, you know?

That's why nobody can ever really live alone.

All right, Tasuki. The two of us will save Miaka!

Three's better than two. Right?

I may not be able to save you this time.

The water...!

Yes, suffer. That was how my human life had to end!

At the hands of a man I thought was my friend!

Miaka!

Taka! Tasuki! Chichiri!

Hikou! Release Miaka! Otherwise...

Otherwise you'll do WHAT?

The most important things in my life now are my friends who serve Suzaku.

And to save them... I will kill you!

Chichiri!

Fascinating.

Then you'll have to do it before the Priestess of Suzaku drowns.

Chichiri! We'll handle Hikou! Save Miaka!

No good! Another water wall!

Tamahome! Tasuki!

Ryu Ka Suishin Tes-shu!

Ban Bukyuu Chou Hou Na Hobaku!

Chichiri, no! Don't fight your friend!

Ban Bukyuu Chou Hou Na Hobaku... KAN!

Incredible...!

No shit...

Chichiri...!

Chichiri...

Hikou, stop this! Can't you see that Chichiri loves you?!

Don't you see how this is hurting him?!

SILENCE!

If you were his friend...

If you were his friend...! Then you'd understand that!

Hikou...

I swear I'll save you.

What?!

Tasuki!

Use your flames on my robe!

Concentrate everything on burning the robe!

If you do that, we'll break the water wall...

...and the flames will reach inside!

Wha... What are you talkin' about?!

If I do that, then you'll...!

Hurry! If you don't, then Miaka will...!

Yeah, but...!

Your penetrating my water barrier is impressive, Chichiri.

However, you can't use any special powers in here.

Holding me is taking all of your strength.

His flames? That amateurish trick will never work!

You were a fool, Chichiri!

My body can't take this water pressure much longer!

Do it, Tasuki! DO IT!!!

That time... That other time...!

I AM ONE OF THE SUZAKU SEVEN!!!

It's happening all over again. God damn it...!

GOD DAMN IT!!!

Taka!

Save Chichiri...! Taka...!

Tasuki!

RUN, TAMA!

REKKA...

...SHI NEN!!!

What?! The barrier's collapsing...?!

Don't be afraid, Hikou. You won't be alone this time.

This time, I'm not letting go of your hand.

In heaven, the three of us will be reunited.

Let me go...

Let me go!

LET ME GO, HOU JUN!

HAKU RO EN!

Im... possible...!

How could I be killed by these children...?!

Hikou...

Miaka's all right, too! Tasuki, we did it!

"We did it!" Sure... Damn, my nerves...!

I thought I was gonna have a heart attack, you jerk!

Why aren't you letting go of my hand?

Because I promised that I wasn't going to this time.

The three of us will be reunited in heaven, huh?

You're still such a nice guy.

That's why... she loved you.

Hikou...

You really thought she had betrayed you?

Yes, it hurts!

It hurts, and there's nothing I can do about it!

Hikou...

You know how I feel about you!

I never meant to steal her from you.

It's just... Just once...

Just once, I wanted to hold her in my arms.

Feel the softness of her lips, the warmth of her skin...

Forgive me, I... I can't stay with you!

She valued faithfulness so much...

She felt that being touched by another man even once...

...meant she didn't deserve to be with you.

Can't say I didn't understand her reasoning, though...

Yeah. I was the one who wrecked it all.

I deserved to die.

But I hated you, and let a demon possess me.

And for the sake of a fool like me, you were...!

If she were to see that scar... She'd be shocked.

That time, I let go.

But I should have held on!

No matter what, I should have held onto you!

When I saw the life leave you in that water, I felt...

I couldn't move.

If I had the powers I have now, I'd have...!

Oh, what fools we were.

Could real best friends ever be so quick to distrust each other?

What are you saying?!

You're my dearest friend, even now!

And you always will be!

I loved you. I always loved you!

That's why... That's why...!

HIKOU!!!

To water, I return, Hou Jun...

Forgive me...

I am really pissed off!

As am I!

That was really cold of you, Chichiri!

Guys, quit teasing him.

We're all happy you made it out all right.

We're just being a little sarcastic with you.

The water in the town's receding as well.

Well done, Chichiri.

It was a lot of work, stopping a flood.

You're really good at that kind of work, Nuriko!

Well, I guess.

Are those two asleep?

Out like lights.

This time, I'm the one who owes them.

If they hadn't been there...

Who's there?!

You sensed my life force. Impressive, Chichiri.

I see how you could have beaten Hikou.

My name is Yousui, the last of the Four Great Kings of Earth!

I have come for the priestess's life!

What the hell's this guy talking about?!

What the...? Miaka! Everyone! Don't move!

Don't move a muscle!

What's...?

- Threads. - Around our bodies as well?!

It looks that way, Your Highness.

And they don't look like normal threads, either!

That force blast...

No way...

The mark of ogre.

No, it's definitely him.

You're...!

Tamahome!

Hurry up and get lost, Yousui!

Tamahome... It's Tamahome...?

It might be a dream.

That I can protect all the things I love.

But isn't believing that all right?

You have to do all you can to be sure.

What's important can really be hard to see...

...but I think only your heart will know for sure.

If the pain of feeling down and sad that I can't reset...

...only causes me pain, it'll make me so lonely.

It's just the nature of life for...

...flowers and grass on the ground...

...to reach up and strain towards the sky.

Isn't it being a dream all right?

There's a shining world waiting...

...at the end of the tunnel.

And can't you decide after that?!

Try to make your loving feelings known.

The answers are buried deep in your heart...

...where your tears are born.

Light and dark exist in the same heart...

...awaiting the next choice from you.

Don't let it end as a dream!

Bring happiness to the one you love.

And isn't it wonderful?!

Try to embrace fully all your tears.

I'd better return this to you.

Take care... Take care of Miaka.

Thanks.

For keeping Miaka company while I wasn't there.

Sure... No problem.

That's right, this is Tamahome.

The one I met in the book. Who I fell in love with.

I could never forget...

MIAKA!!!

Mysterious Play-ing Around!

Number one!

It looks like Hikou was successful.

The Suzaku Seven... What fools they are.

In the end, they've fallen right into my hands.

Better stay under before I catch a cold!

Number two!

The flood that happened then...

...took from me all the people that I loved.

My family... The woman I loved...

But with Hikou, it's different. I...

I just can't bring myself to kill him again.

Chichiri...

I lost my family in that flood as well.

But I still had Shoka with me. She saved my soul.

And, unlike you, we were really a couple of love birds!

Man, I had a blast!

Would you please leave?!

Chichiri...

People can be surprisingly narrow-minded, sometimes.

Number three.

It can't be!

"ISHI"

No way...

The mark of Stone.

No, it's definitely him.

You're...!

...the previously assumed to be dead...

Ishida!
