DISCLAMER: Flame of Recca belongs to Anzai Nobuyuki who created this
beautiful story that we all love so much, and you all should know that I DO
NOT own it.
SPOILERS: There's a bit of spoilers in this chap, about manga volume #11 (the end of it ) when the first round of the finals of the UBS III starts, and the first episode of volume #1 in the manga.
THANKS TO: Diamond-Crest, vani, and Hume Esper for reviewing my fanfic!!! vani, I did a chapter on Fuuko just like you asked. Diamond-Crest, I think I have an idea of what Nae's madougu will be like, but I won't tell yet. It will be coming up in later chapters. Hume Esper, I wanted to use an original character I guess, so I didn't use a member of the Uruha that was already known. Hoping to get more reviews.
NOTE: The beginning part of this chapter is the same as the previous, but you'll see why. It might have been an unnecessary part so you can skip reading it, cuz it's the same. I just put it in there to keep that conversation fresh in your mind since I haven't updated in a while.
A Coward No More *-Ishijima Domon's Story-*
(Author's Note: There's a chunk from the beginning of the last chapter.)
"Fuuko-sama!!!!!!!!!" A certain gorilla with a Mohawk was running towards a very irritated Fuuko Kirisawa who was just walking by his flower shop.
She heard his annoying voice perfectly even through her earphones though her CD player was on full blast. Ignoring the idiot, she kept on walking as if there was no one chasing her although by that time the ground was already shaking. He finally caught up, and stopped right in front of her.
"Fuuko-sama, your beloved pretty Domon-kun is here. ("PRETTY?? Yeah, right." Fuuko whispered to herself.) I see you skipped school today, just like me. How two people who are in love think alike, huh?" He said in his usual smiling tone.
Fuuko not changing her expression, took out the earphones from her ears, and said.
"What do you want, you jerk?" as she kicked him in the stomach that threw him to the other side of the street.
"If you got time to chase around me, why don't you go look for your madougu??" She yelled towards a Domon who was flying away by the second.
"I don't have time to be hanging around an idiot like you. I'm going. Ja, matane (kinda like..See ya!!)."
Domon landed hard onto the concrete floor. He was confused at the sudden reaction. She always threw him over whenever she was irritated, but she seemed a tad too irritated that day. Well, he couldn't blame her. Team Hokage thought they had finally found peace in their lives. They were finally able to finish their wacky business. They were finally able to go back to being their original selves, "normal" teenagers. They went to high school, (well, all for the exception of Koganei) like average normal people, and did what normal people did. There was no more fighting (except the daily fight they had amongst themselves, but you know what I mean!!) Then all of a sudden a girl appears out of no where, and tells them this wacky story that the Hokage is back, and they're back in this abnormal life.
To make things even more irritating, they had to find their madougus. Where could they find a madougu?? It's not like they sell it in a special store.
Domon took a deep breath, and got up from his sitting position, and began to walk again. Domon had to find his madougu. Even with the madougu, he was still pulling the Hokage's leg. (not literally, it's an expression) He was so afraid. What if everyone except himself found their madougu? He would be once again pulling their leg, but he wanted to fight. Fight alongside his mates, his friends, his pals.
"I wonder how the others are doing." Domon muttered to himself as he looked up at the sky. It was a clear blue sky day, a perfect day for something good to happen.
"Alright!! Let's go!! You can do it Domon!!!" Domon said out loud, and he slapped both his cheeks with both his hands. That attracted the attention of the pedestrians walking by, and glares from some of his schoolmates that were on their way home.
Domon turning a slight shade of red turned away, and began to walk into the city. He walked, and walked searching for his Dosei no Wa, and Kuchibashi Ou. He couldn't think of where to look. He didn't exactly have memorial places with those two madougus. He was given the Dosei no Wa, and he took the Kuchibashi Ou from one of the Three Idiots (or the Three Baka).
Where could he find the Dosei no Wa? He decided to start with that one.
He went to everyplace that his tiny brain could think of. He went to just about every jewelry shop he knew that existed in this city. He thought maybe there would be the Dosei no Wa mixed up with all the other jewelry such as rings, and nose-rings. After all, the Dosei no Wa was in the form of a ring.
He walked out of the last jewelry shop her knew, and sighed.
"No luck here either." Domon said his voice sounding a bit down. "Dosei no Wa, my partner, where are you?"
"I don't wanna pull the Hokage's leg anymore. I want to be part of their strength. I'm not the coward Domon anymore. I'm a Hokage too, and to be able to fight with Hanabishi, and Fuuko, and Koganei, and Mikagami. I need your help." He said in his mind.
The clear blue sky was beginning to turn into a crimson red color like Recca's flames. The sun was setting, and soon it would be dark again. Again, he had no luck on finding his madougu, and the day after tomorrow he'd have to be at the Hokage House. He walked through the busy streets into a cold dark alley to take a short cut on his way home. His face was all gloomy, and his shoulders were down as he walked. He didn't even notice that there was someone behind him following him.
The guy behind him holding a metal pipe came up behind him, and lifted the pipe in the air. Finally Domon realized the presence behind him, and dodged the attack.
"Who the hell are you?" Domon yelled at the stranger.
He couldn't quite see his face because of the darkness of the alley.
"Hm, I wonder, don't you recognize me Ishijima?" The stranger said coming out into the light from the darkness.
"Hoshino!! You..."
"Yes, it's me." Hoshino said giving an evil grin.
(Author's Note: Hoshino is the guy who asks Yanagi on a date on volume #1 in the manga. He's a player, and very arrogant)
*************************************************************
It wasn't happening. Domon, the one who was even called an Oni was on the floor. Was he losing?? It couldn't be. He couldn't believe that he was losing. Was he so weak? Was the only reason for his strength the Dosei no Wa?
"What's wrong you little baby? Is Ishijima-kun too tired to play? Does he need a nap?"
Domon spaced out for a few moments while he was remembering the past.
He was remembering the time about a year, and a half ago. They were in the Urabutou Satsujin III fighting almost till the death, but they made it. They were the champions of the Urabutou Satsujin III, and defeated Uruha Kurenai. He defeated Noroi. He was the one who dragged Kurei out into the battle. He was a member of Hokage too, and he most certainly wasn't going to lose to an idiot like this. He wasn't the coward Domon who was running away all the time. He was a part of Hokage.
He slowly got up from his sitting position.
"Does little baby-Domon need more beatings?" Hoshino said grinning slying.
He was certain that he was winning.
Domon lifted his face up to show the expression to his opponent. It was the face he was famous for. The "Oni". It was the face that led people to fear him. Usually people would be afraid, and run away from Domon after seeing this face, but not the arrogant-Hoshino. He thought he was winning the battle. He thought there was no way Domon could win after all the hits he got from his metal pipe.
He was wrong. Domon was just starting to get warmed up.
"No, I don't need a beating, but I think YOU do!!" He said giving him a wide grin.
"Huh, what can you do in that condition??" Hoshino asked Domon as he lifted his metal pipe onto his shoulder getting ready to attack.
"THIS!" Domon took his fist, and smashed the wall behind Hoshino, and added a huge crack to it.
"Uh...ahhh...ahh." Hoshino tried to scream as he slid down into a sitting position. He couldn't scream. He was so frightened.
"Next time I think you'll think twice before talking to me, RIGHT?" Domon said giving him a threatening look while pulling the collar of his uniform.
"Yes, I will, just let me go!!" Hoshino said practicly shrieking.
Domon let go of his grip, and Hoshino ran away crawling like a little baby.
"Who's the baby now?" Domon said to himself as he watched Hoshino run away.
He walked home to his house on the second floor of their flower shop. As usual his mom was yelling at him for not going to school, and all that. She was being her usual self.
"Domon, you listening!?" His mother bellowed at him.
"Alright, alright. I hear ya, ya don't have to yell you know?" Domon said looking a bit annoyed.
"Ah, what's the use? You don't listen anyway."
"Then stop yelling at me!! So, what's for dinner?" Domon said changing his attitude. He was always in a good mood around dinner time.
"Katsu-don." (Author's Note: It's fried beef on top of rice. Usually the beef's mixed with some eggs wrapped around it. I just thought of it cuz that's what my mom's making right now)
"My favorite!" Domon exclaimed as he began to drool thinking of his dinner.
"You're not getting it until you go take a bath, and get cleaned up. You're a mess."
To this Domon looked at himself, and realized how much of a mess he was. He had dirt, and mucky water all over his shirt, and some blood from his fight with Hoshino in the alley.
"Oh, ah..yeah, I think I'll go take a bath." He said as he ran to the other side of the hallway into the bathroom.
He walked into the bathroom as he took off his shirt. He could smell that his shirt reeked of something disgusting. He placed it into the dirty laundry basket, and faced himself into the mirror. He looked at his nose ring.
"Dosei no Wa." was the first thing that came to his mind. He looked at his nose ring again this time touching it. He wished it wasn't just an ordinary nose ring that was on him. He wished in his mind, with his eyes closed that the Dosei no Wa was on his nose at that moment.
He looked at it again.
"!!!!!!"
It wasn't just an ordinary nose ring. It was the Dosei no Wa, but how did it get there?
He changed his nose ring this morning to the new one he had just bought. That was a normal ordinary nose ring. When did it change?
Domon doesn't know this, but the Dosei no Wa was with him the whole time. It didn't show itself because it thought that Domon had turned back into his old self, the old coward Domon, and that was true. He did turn back into a coward, but only for a split second. Then he remembered that he was a Hokage that he was strong, and he was no longer a coward. He had his friends around him to fill in for whatever was missing from themselves. That was what friends were, and the Dosei no Wa felt that from Domon's heart, and evaluated Domon worthy for itself, and showed it self to its master.
Believe it, or not, madougus choose their masters too. It's not only the masters that chose what madougu to use.
"Wooo-hoo-!!" Domon screamed joy in front of his bathroom mirror. It echoed through the bathroom, and the whole house.
His mother in the kitchen on the other side of the house, just thought that her stupid son had finally gone insane.
As she thought that, she took a deep breath, and sighed loudly.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Okay...that was a weird chapter. (sigh) I didn't have a good idea for it, sorry. I did my best. You also might be thinking, what about the Kuchibashi Ou? Well I couldn't think of a good idea for it, so all I can say is, I'll work on it in later chapter. So don't kill me plz!!!! Next chapter is, Recca!!! Now, I think that one will be a long chapter.
