Scene Eight
Three Events
Over the last few days Tatsumaru's followers have been watching Rikimaru at all times.
Rikimaru knows he is being watched and he knows why; it's because Tatsumaru cannot trust him as of yet. He is sitting on his bed at the moment. I need to show my brother that he can trust me! Nevertheless, how? Rikimaru thought. Ayame Yamanichi, who has the ability to read people's thoughts, is listening to Rikimaru's thoughts. "Maybe I can lead him to a certain place that will increase his power further than it already is! That's just what I will do!"
Rikimaru stands up and crosses to the window and gazes out into the night, unaware of the things that were about to take place.
Event One: An earthquake occurs; shaking the whole village and causing screams from the people, and making cracks run through the streets and walls of the buildings.
Event Two: Rikimaru realizes he is being watched even when he's alone in his room. He drags Ayame out of his hiding place and puts his sword to the man's throat.
Event Three: Tatsumaru is outside hunting and minding his own busimess, when he is ambushed by a group of Demon Exterminators, some of Rikimaru's friends. He is shot in the chest and body with many arrows. Unfortunately, for Tatsumaru, he is in his Human form while he is hunting. Will he survive?
"Say good-bye to your Master. {He laughs.} Finally Russia will see better days again! Ahh… the power of the Yin is Victorious over the dark power of the Yang!" Rikimaru said to Ayame.
"NO! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!" Ayame screamed. Rikimaru mimics his brother's Romanian accent.
"Oh, but it is, and I'm loving it!"
"No! Please Lord Tatsumaru, please survive this. Don't let the light power of the Yin win the fight over the world. Please continue to live," Ayame said quietly. Ayame looks out the window once more.
"Ah, the sweet smell of victory!"
What will become of Tatsumaru's followers if he dies? What will happen to Rikimaru, being of which he has that spell on him? Will Tatsumaru return with a vengeance?
