FullMetal*Panic!

This is the new thread concerning the idea I had for a manga/ comic!

It concerns the team we should set up for this project!

Right now I have two people on the team for this little project!

Kashim
RussianFox

Both are doing editing work. We need artist, story writers, and a few more editors.

Here is the basic story we are working with.

***********************************************

The basic story is about Kanjiro trying to do two things, stop something from happening, an event that could either trigger the reversal of time or the complete destruction of the universe. The only way to stop this is by gaining his memories from before age 10.

The story starts in an alley with two people. One is name Oniji, silver haired katana weilding guy. The other person is named Eitoku, a red haired man. Eitoku is missing his arm, Oniji seems to be enjoying the torment Eitoku is going through. Some how Eitoku is "one of the chosen".

Kanjiro arrives in Tokyo and runs in to Risa Amori, a child hood friend. He doesn't recognize her but she knows him. Kanjiro gets into a fight with Tojiro, Risa's boyfriend, but she stops Tojiro in a very violent way. She then decides to question Kanjiro about why he doesn't remember her. He leaves not really telling her anything, just leaves her with his cloak.

The next morning he arrives at a school he has enrolled in so he could investigate something. Around 7 in the morning, Kanjiro is sitting on the school roof sees a gang of 6 boys trying to rape a girl who also attends the school. He does away with the boys quickly and saves the girl. Right when they are about to part ways he notices a strange mark on her right wrist and we learn a little about why he is here. He is searching for those who can tap in to the unused spiritual powers, the powers that the ancient peoples could use and knew how to use.

Later on Kanjiro is confronted by the girl whose name is Kazumi Fukuda. Kanjiro tells her a little about her "birthmark" and a little about himself. He seems to be able to communicate with nature.

Kanjiro tells Kazumi to meet him on the roof after school if she wants to learn more. Kanjiro then runs in to Anzai who he told not to follow him to Tokyo. The are apparently some sort of friends, more like a one sided friendship. Anzai and Kanjiro speak with Kazumi about the mark on her wrist. Kazumi calls Kanjiro by "Kanji" which triggers some of his memories about a woman, a young girl, and an older man.

****************************************

I have decided on a title for the story.

Now don't get any perverted thoughts after hearing this name.

It's called "Spirit Touch"

Basically, there are people with extra ordinary strength. They have been touched by spirits..

I was considering using the legends of the old civilizations to be the "Spirit Touch"

The powers are dependant on the spirit that touches them. For example...

Kanjiro can understand the Earth, the trees, the winds, the flowers because he was touched by the spirits of nature when he was born. This also causes him to be stronger because Nature is a bigger spirit then other spirits.

He could channel lightning, rain, thunder, water, earth... anything in Nature.

You will find out later on that Risa was touched by a spirit also. The difference is that her "mark of the spirit" is engraved into her soul. She was touched by the spirit of mother.

Kazumi was touched by the spirit of heaven.

Anzai was touched by the spirit of the hurricane, which lets him use more powerful wind tactics.

Oniji was touched by the spirit of hell, which is why he is the main villan.

Do you get it? So their skills are dependant on what spirit touches their souls.

******************************************

Thanks Kashim for the help so far!

If you are interested in participating in this little project then talk to me, Kashim, or RussianFox about it.

BTW, Hell or Tau, you can delete the 'comic rough draft' thread in the other topic area. Thank you!!

OK!

I'll probably have the char designs for Kanjiro and Risa finished and scanned by wednesday, the first project script done by tuesday. I'm up to chapter 3 in the script.

Chapter 3 is kind of about the beginnings of the traveling, the first encounter with lost souls (people who have been touched by evil, fallen spirits. Including the spirits of fallen angels.) The first encounter with Oniji. Risa's first kiss (which is kind of amazing considering she did have a boyfriend) Kazumi's first fight. Split of the spirits. Birth of Suekita (really really bad person)

I'll have more basic char designs by the end of the week, maybe up to Suekita, Kazumi, Anzai, Miyuki (new character who has nothing to do with the spirits), Oniji, lost souls 1,2, and 3. The boys who tried to rape Kazumi. Tojiro. Some student designs. etc. Well maybe not all that but I'll probably have at least half of these done by friday. The old designs are kinda crusty, rippy paper.

Hope I still have help with this thing.

Oh and I decided to get rid of that title since it's kind of creepy... Now i need a new title for the story.

Kashim, maybe you were right about changing Risa's hair to pink. Ahhhh, who knows. Well, I'll keep this updated with the status on this little project. Keep coming back if anyone is interested in it.

Don't forget to send me a message if your intrested in getting involved with this project, we need all the help we can get!! Thanks alot!

meh. just thought that blonde and black kinda contradict each other. Rose for Risa!

i write story!
*rasies hand*
pick me!
pick me!

And for story writer 01! The position goes to....

Esyla!!

Congrats, I'll be sending you the draft of the story soon through PM.

hmm... i am not as skilled as Esy, but i wouldnt mind taking on another job if you have one for me, Reaper. i have rewritten scene two cuz i was bored....

Darkness had fallen over the old path. The only person travelling it was a cloaked man of average height and build. a slight wind rustled the grass. The man stopped walking, seemingly lost in thought. "One by one..." He spoke "the heirs to the spiritual power are dying..."

A loud voice broke the peaceful silence. "Kanjiro! Yo, Kanjiro! Wait up!" The cloaked figure looked back to see a rather tall man running towards him. The man was sturdy in build, and had spiky black hair. The cloaked figure looked rather annoyed.

"Why wont you leave me alone like i asked you to, Anzai?" Kanjiro turned to look at the man.

Anzai grinned. "Come on, man. we're training buddies! Besides, you promised me we would head to Tokyo together. Kanjiro relaxed a little.

"I said nothing of the sort. I informed you i was heading to Tokyo, and told you not to follow me. Since you are here, it appears you did not comply." The cloaked figure, Kanjiro, was walking away from Anzai. "Listen well, Anzai. I do not want to kill you, but if I must I will."

As Kanjiro was walking away, the wind picked up, and rain started falling. Kanjiro's hand moved to his Katana handle. "It seems a storm will blow through tonight." Kanjiro stared at Tokyo City. "It begins here..."

Im sure Esy could do better, however.

Ok sorry I couldn't get the rough sketches out today!

The sketches didn't come out the way I wanted them to.

*status*

Kanjiro: redoing
Risa: finished- still need to scan
Anzai: Half completed
Kazumi: finished- need to scan
Oniji: not finished
Others: Not finished
Backgrounds: need an assistant for that, who wants to do back grounds?

hmm... i have *some* skill in drawing...i could attempt to do that...if you wish. i have a friend named Courtneigh who is willing to do some character drawings. she is an extremely skilled artist. i think we could benefit greatly from her help.

Ok... I'm putting out the rough draft as it is now. I had a problem with my pc shutting down on me but that is fixed. SOme of the data for the story was lost as well and I can't remember all of it.

It is in a script format style I guess. Hope you enjoy what we have completec so far.

Here it is!

Story 1: Part 1

Drafted Winds

Tools: The characters will be speaking in script form. (This represents actions taken during talking.) *This represents thoughts*

Cold, dark night. Nights that always brings out the lowest of the low. Under a dim streetlight in a back alley, a man with silver hair stood towering above a red haired man.

Red Haired Man: (crippled in pain. Kneeling, holding bleeding right arm.) *Cough* What the hell did you do this for?

Silver Haired Man: (Laughing.) Because it was fun. Not much of a challenge, though(Holds his Katana at the base of the Red haired man’s neck.) Now, now. What will you do here, little man? How will you escape me this time? (Irritated) Well Eitoku!

Eitoku: (stares at the SHM, then spits at his shoes.) fudgie off, bitch!

Silver Haired Man: (Grins) have it your way! (Quick slash slits Eitoku's throat.) One less treat to be concerned with. (Wipes off the blood from his blade with a small cloth.) No one escapes my blade!

The rain continues to fall as the SHM leaves. One final shot of Eitoku, a note left at his feet reading...

Silver Haired Man: One more gone, and the rest will follow.

End Scene 1 with police arriving on the scene.

Scene 2

A man with black and silver hair walks alone down an old road leading to Tokyo.

Black and Silver Haired Man: Another one dead. The heirs to the spiritual powers are dying.

Voice: Kanjiro! Yo Kanjiro! Wait up!

Kanjiro: (frowns) why can’t you leave me alone like I asked you to? (Turns toward a black haired man) Anzai!

Anzai: Come on man! (grins) We are training buddies. Besides, you promised me we would head to Tokyo together.

Kanjiro: I said nothing of the sort. What I said was that I was heading to Tokyo. Please do not follow me! But since you are here then it seems you do not listen. (Walks away from Anzai) Listen well, Anzai. Do not follow me! I do not wish to kill you, but if I must, I will.

Rain begins to fall, wind picks up.

Kanjiro: (grips his Katana’s handle.) It seems that a storm will be blowing through tonight. (Stares at Tokyo City) It begins here. (Continues down path towards Tokyo.)

End Scene 2 with Kanjiro walking to Tokyo alone.

Scene 3

Crowded streets of Tokyo in the pouring rain. Focus on young couple. The girl with long blonde and black hair, golden eyes. She seems to be enjoying her time with a young man, dark red hair.

Red haired Man: Come to think of it, why did your family move to Tokyo?

Pink haired girl: (frowns) we left shortly after my friend left. Mother thought the town was unsafe considering that friend's uncle was murdered.

Red Haired Man: (sighs) Poor guy. How old was he when he left?

Pink haired girl: (Tear comes to her left eye) Ten, he left by himself to get stronger. He was extremely skilled with a sword, almost as well as his great grandfather, as his uncle told me.

Red haired Man: Don’t cry Risa. (Wipes away Risa’s tears) Sure would like to meet the guy though.

Risa: (Laughs) you two would probably have been good friends Tojiro.

At that moment a young man in a brown cloak bumps into Risa and Tojiro, knocking both off balance. Risa falls to the ground.

Tojiro: (Grabs the guy in the brown cloak) Hey jerk, you better apologize to my girlfriend!

Cloaked figure: ...

Tojiro: (Punches cloaked figure) Asshole! Wha...

Cloaked Figure: (Pulls out his Katana and Swings it, stopping mere centimeters away from Tojiro’s throat.) I do not care about trivial matters like this. (Sheaths his katana.) I have more important things to deal with than a street punk fussing over his girlfriend. (Slowly walks away)

Tojiro: (Grabbing the mans cloak in a mad rage) Shut the hell up!! who are you calling a street punk!? (Rips the cloak off the man) Now lets get a good look at you bastard.

By now the outburst has attracted a crowd. With the cloak gone everyone had a good look at the man.

Group of girls: (Squealing in delight) oh my god, that guy is so cute!!

The man that was formerly hidden by the cloak was revealed to the public. Dark hair with silver streaks. Silver eyes. Well built form.

Tojiro: Hey, bastard, I want to find out the name of the man whose ass I’ll be kicking today.

Risa: (stares at the stranger) *He looks so familiar.*

Tojiro: (Guards Risa) watch out baby, I’ll protect you from this freak. (Points at the stranger and shouts with anger) Alright now tell us your name!

Stranger: My name?... (grasping the Katana handle) My name is... Teshima Kanjiro!

Risa: (Gasp) *He couldn’t be Kanjiro!* K-Ka-Kanjiro... Is th-that really you Kanjiro?

Kanjiro: (Observes Risa) Do I know you from some where?

Risa: (frustrated) I can’t believe you don’t remember me! (Tries to hit Kanjiro, he evades her attack) It’s me Amori Risa, from *(town name to be decided)*. (Grasp Kanjiro’s hands in her own.) We were friends before you left.

Kanjiro: (Stares at Risa then sighs.) I am sorry but I do not remember you. (avoids a punch thrown by Tojiro) I’m sorry, you do not stand a chance against someone whose life has been thrown away. (Kanjiro’s katana begins to glow a light blue.) I will not be stopped by street trash like you!

Tojiro: (growls) I’m not street trash! (Charges Kanjiro with fist raised) I’ll kick your ass! Wha....

Risa: (Grabs Tojiro by the shirt collar and throws him against the wall. The wall cracks in all directions.) I can’t believe you forgot me! (Clenches fist) I told you that I loved you the day before you left to go training! I finally see you again and you have forgotten me! (Grabs Kanjiro in a headlock) We’ll just see about that! I’ll beat the memories out of you, huh...?

Kanjiro: (Slides out of Risa’s headlock) Miss Amori, I am sorry that I do not remember you. I remember nothing of my old life. (Stares at Risa, then turns to the sky) One day I will remember, and ill come back for you. (Begins to walk down the street) Maybe then I can feel something other than pain.

Risa stares in wonderment as Kanjiro continues to walk down the street, the rain continues to pour.

Kanjiro: (turns back towards Risa) You’ll catch a cold in this rain. (Points to his cloak) Use it to shield yourself from the rain. (Turns back towards his original path) I want you to be here when I regain my past.

By now the crowd has dissolved. The police were not notified about the little incident, but Risa is left with an ache in her heart as she watches the only boy she ever truly loved walk away from her again. What hurt more was the fact that he failed to remember her, failed to remember the place that they shared together.

End Scene 3

Scene 4

Early Morning the next day. Kanjiro sits alone on the roof of a school building.

Kanjiro: (sighs) this school is where my search starts, eh? (Glances over at the school’s clock) 7 am. (Looks down at the students approaching the school) I wonder how many of them can harness the spiritual powers. (Glances over at a group surrounding a small girl)

About six boys in total surrounded the girl.

Boy 1: What have we here? What’s a pretty lil thing like you doing with out a mate?

Girl: Please just leave me alone!

Boy 2: (Grabs the girl by the wrist) We can’t have a pretty girl like you graduate with out knowing a mans touch!

Girl: (screams) HELP ME! HE.... (The girl’s mouth is covered by one of the boys.)

Boy 4: Now, now! (kisses the girl’s cheek) You just shut up and enjoy our little gift!!

Kanjiro: You fools are pathetic!

The entire gang and girl look for the intruding voice but fail to find it.

Kanjiro: I can’t allow such a dishonorable act to continue. (Leaps from the roof and lands near the gang. Then walks over to the girl.) You will be alright, miss.

Boy 1: You wanna die, punk!?!

Kanjiro: ....

Boy 3: Don’t just stand there, fight us!

Kanjiro: ...

Boy 2 & 5: Why don’t you say something you wimp?

Kanjiro: ... You fools are not worth my time! (Places his jacket around the girl to cover her ripped clothes) However, the terror you have put this girl through is.

The gang: YOU BASTARD! (all 6 boys rush Kanjiro)

Kanjiro: hmph... (un-sheaths his Katana) ... This... is... the... end... for... you... (with lightning speed Kanjiro unleashes an attack that hits 3 of the 6 fighters. a horizontal slash takes out two of the fighters, and a vertical eliminating the last fighter) ... (Sheaths his katana then approaches the trembling girl) It’s ok... (offers the girl his hand)

Girl: (blushing) th-thank you!!

Kanjiro: It was no problem. (Kanjiro then notices a mark on the girl’s right wrist.)

School bell rings.

Girl: Oh my, it’s time for school! (Runs off in the direction of the building, then stops.) Thanks mister! (The girl waves to Kanjiro smiling)

Kanjiro: (Waves to the girl) *She must be one of the people that can harness spiritual powers* (Notices a rush of people coming to see what happened, sighing he leaps into the dense forest surrounding the school.) About 10 minutes from Tokyo.

Voice: Kaaaaaaaannnnnnjiiiiiiroooooooo

The voice of a young girl echoed from a distance behind Kanjiro. Turning around Kanjiro saw... Risa Amori!

Risa: Kanjiro! Are you attending this school?

Kanjiro: ...

Risa: (dashes up to Kanjiro) the way your dressed looks like you are! Well lets hurry up before school starts! (Grabs Kanjiro and pulls him off to school.)

End scene 4 with Kanjiro and Risa going off to Kanjiro’s first day of school.

Scene 5

Full classroom, students just getting settled. Risa plops down into her usual seat as the class patiently awaits the arrival of their Teacher.

Voice: Good morning class!

Class: Good morning teacher!

Teacher: We have a new student joining us today. He is not from around here, in fact this is his first time in Tokyo. Please welcome our new student.

Kanjiro: ...

Teacher: Well, introduce yourself.

Kanjiro: (sighs) my name is... (sounds of shuffling echo through the class) My name is of no importance to you all.

Class: awwwwww

Risa: Tell them your name Kanjiro! (Risa quickly covers her mouth.)

Class: You know who he is Risa???

Risa: Well... Uh... Kinda... (the door opens saving Risa.)

Tojiro: Uh... Last night was so crappy! (Sits down next to Risa.) What’s up today, why is everyone so attentive? (Glances at Kanjiro then jumps.) Aaack! It’s you!!!

The Silent Boy has many Fans! Jealousy strikes!

Scene 1

Kanjiro sits alone on the roof of *(school name to be decided)*. It’s lunchtime, Kanjiro stares down at the people enjoying themselves.

Kanjiro: (sighs) ...

He is alone, until the roofs entrance door opens.

Female voice: Um... Mr. Kanjiro?

Kanjiro: Hmm? (Turns to see where the voice is coming from, he sees the girl he saved before school started) What is it?

Female voice: Well, I just wanted to... (gulps) introduce myself. (Walks over to Kanjiro who is sitting on the ledge hanging his legs over the buildings side) I’m Fukuda Kazumi. (Hops over the railing and sits next to Kanjiro. She blushes when she notices that he is staring at her.)

Kanjiro: ...

Kazumi: (giggles) I noticed you don’t talk much.

Kanjiro: (observes Kazumi who has her knees brought up against her chest. A genuine smile spread across her lips.) I have no reason to.

Kazumi: (leans on Kanjiro’s shoulder) I think I know what you mean. (Looks up a Kanjiro, then quickly looks away when she notices that he is still staring at her.) Um...

Kanjiro: (notices a tree with beautiful flowers. He stands up and leaps to the ground. He hops back up to the roof after grabbing a few flowers.) Here... (Kanjiro hands Kazumi three flowers.)

Kazumi: (stutters in amazement) H-how d-did-id you d-d-do that?? Anyways. (blushes) Thank... you... Kanjiro...

Kanjiro: (with an emotionless expression) You’re hurt inside, some one you loved dearly died long ago, but you are still hurt.

Kazumi: (shocked) how did you know...

Kanjiro: (gazes out into the sky) the earth tells me the past. The trees record the present. The winds give me hints to the future. (Lets go of the fourth flower in his hand, watching it float in the wind.) The Flowers guide me to a person’s spirit.

Kazumi: But... Kanjiro I...

Kanjiro: (makes a sharp turn towards Kazumi) You have some ability like mine. You can tap into the spiritual powers, that mark on your right arm is proof enough.

Kazumi: (lifts her uniforms sleeve) My birthmark??

Kanjiro: (nods) it is the mark of someone who has the ability to connect with the spiritual powers.

Bell rings.

Kanjiro: I guess it is time to return to class. (Helps Kazumi up.) If you would like to learn more about these powers please return to this place after class is completed.

Kazumi: (Nods) how is it possible though?

Kanjiro: I shall tell you after class. Please wait until then, I will have gathered enough information by then.

Kazumi: (nods and smiles.)

When Kanjiro and Kazumi reached the roof top exit Kazumi notices that they were holding hands the entire time. She pulls her hand away and blushes. Kazumi then quickly runs off towards her next class.

Kanjiro: ... *I wonder what is bothering her now.*

End scene 1 with Kanjiro entering the building.

Scene 2

Anzai walking through Tokyo.

Anzai: (clenches fist) how am I suppose to track Kanjiro through that damn school, I’m to old. (Frowns.) Wait... (snaps his fingers) I got it! I’ll just use some wind spirits to turn me invisible! (Thrust his fist into the air) this is a perfect plan.

Voice: why not just enroll as a college student teacher?

Anzai: Yeah, you’re right Kanjiro. (Stops in the middle of the street) K-Kanjiro!?

Kanjiro: I told you not to follow me. (Frowns then sighs)

Anzai: (pats Kanjiro on the back) there, there. I think I’ll use your idea! Less conspicuous.

End Scene 2 with Anzai heading for Kanjiro’s school

Scene 3

Back on the roof, Kazumi is patiently awaiting the arrival of Kanjiro.

Voice: I see that you decided to come here after all.

Kazumi: (smiles) of course Kanjiro, I need to know about my destiny. I have always known I was different from others. I need to know why.

Kanjiro: Beware Kazumi... After I tell things much worse than gangs could target you about the spirits and how we few are all connected to them you.

Kazumi: (surprised) what?!

Kanjiro: Yes. Are you willing to take that risk?

Kazumi: (ponders in thought) If I say yes, will we be together?

Kanjiro: if we must, then we will.

Kazumi: ....(smiles) alright. Tell me about the spirits!

Anzai: (walks out from the shadows) good. I can sense you will be a powerful ally in this struggle.

Kazumi: (jumps in fright, she just happens to land in Kanjiro’s arms) Wh-wh-who the hell are y-you?

Anzai: (points at himself) oh me? I’m just one of Kanjiro’s buddies!!

Kanjiro: (shakes his head) ...

Kazumi: (giggles) from Kanji’s expression he doesn’t think your a buddy.

Kanjiro: (raises and eyebrow) Kanji?

Kazumi: (gazes at Kanjiro and pouts) Something wrong with me calling you Kanji??

Kanjiro: (shakes his head) no... it’s just that I have a memory of a girl calling me Kanji, when I was young. But, like all my memories, it is very vague.

Kazumi: Oh Kanji! (Throws her arms around Kanjiro) I’m sorry.

Kanjiro: (smiles) do not worry, things like this happen often... (Notices that Kazumi is giggling) what is it?

Kazumi: (wiping her eyes) oh nothing. It’s just I think that’s the first time I’ve seen you smile today.

Anzai: (grinning) now that's something that doesn’t happen often.

Kanjiro: (sighs) Well, I haven’t had a reason to smile in a long time. (Turns towards Kazumi) Lets get started Kazumi.

Kazumi: (nods) But before we do. (Kazumi grasp Kanjiro’s hands) why are you involved with these spirits?

Kanjiro: Because... (turns towards Anzai and Kazumi, noticing their anxious expressions.) Never mind that. We need to get on with the business at hand.

Kazumi: (tugs at Kanjiro’s shirt) Won’t you tell us why your doing this?

Anzai: (grins) I kinda want to know why your doing this to...

Kanjiro: (frowns) maybe later... Bad dreams come back whenever I try to remember the past. I know why I’m doing this! (sighs) That’s good enough for now. (Walks to the edge of the roof) Anzai, you tell Kazumi the rest. I have to visit someone. (Hops off the roof)

Anzai: Wonder what his deal is. (turns to Kazumi) Oh well.. lets get started...

Kazumi: (Kazumi just sits there staring at where Kanjiro was standing not to long ago. Her wrist begins to glow as tears begin to flow from her eyes.) How do I know this? (looks to the sky) how do I know where he is going?

Anzai: (grins) it’s your gift.

Kazumi: (turns to Anzai) my... gift...

Anzai: (smiles) your gift is similar to his. You can see the past, you can see the past of a single person. You can see the souls of people. (Places his hand on Kazumi’s wrist) it’s warm, just like my mother’s. (smiles at Kazumi) you are a special one alright.

Kazumi: (smiles) Thanks. (freaks out) Oh my god I forgot!!

Anzai: (jumps) what!? What is it?

Kazumi: (weak smile) I forgot to call Miyuki, she wanted me to talk to Kanjiro for her about a possible date.

Anzai: (sweat drops) I don’t think any thing in the world could get Kanjiro to go out with any woman.

Kazumi: (sighs) Oh well. Miyuki saw me and Kanjiro talking during lunch. She hoped that I could convince him. (wickedly grins) Is Kanjiro gay?

Anzai: (laughs) No.

Kazumi: (laughs) sure, sure.

Anzai: ( A serious expression comes over Anzai.) I’m serious. (Sighs) Listen, I don’t know much but... (stares at Kazumi) from what Kanjiro has told me about his past... (sighs) From what he has told me, his past aint very pretty. All he has told me is that his parents died, then his only other relative was murdered. Kanjiro doesn’t get attached to any one for fear of losing them.

Kazumi: (stares off into the city) Kanjiro...

End Scene 3 with a shot of Kanjiro walking away from the school with Kazumi staring at him walk away.

Scene 4

Kanjiro sitting alone in the park. He stares at a tree that is losing it flowers.

Kanjiro: My guides are all dying. (stares at the sunset) They will return next spring, but for now I need to find a new link to the spirits. (cringes in pain) What!? What’s this augh!...

Kanjiro is suddenly sent into a whirlwind of fragmented visions. Some with him in the visions, others with out. The whirlwind stops at a very familiar vision.

Loud Voice: Kanjiro, you shall be re-born in to a new body. You and Oniji will then...

The vision ends. Another appears before Kanjiro.

In a dark room a little boy is crying.

Little boy: Papa! Mama! Where are you?

The little boy runs through the house, rushing into room after room until he stumbles upon his parents.

Little boy: Papa... Mama...

The boy then faints as the vision ends. Kanjiro then regains control of his mind as the sunsets. The night sky flashes with the shine of the pulsating stars.

Kanjiro: (stares at the sky) What do I do now?

A young woman’s voice shattered the ominous silence.

Young woman: You step forward. You find yourself, then you are coming back to me. You got that Kanjiro-chan!

Kanjiro: (Kanjiro turns to his right. Sitting there next to him is the pink haired maiden, Risa.) Risa...

Another flash, then another vision. A bright, calm town. A young boy with pure black hair runs through the street, close behind him a young pink haired girl is chasing him.

Pink haired girl: Kaaanjiiirroooo-kuuunnn!!

Kanjiro: (laughing) come on Risa! Your mother doesn’t train you so you can run that slow!

Risa: (growls) I’ll show you who’s slow!

Risa suddenly speeds up and pounces Kanjiro, tackling him to the cold grass. When they open their eyes they notice that their lips are together. They are locked in a kiss, Risa had Kanjiro pinned so there was no escape for him. What surprised Risa was that Kanjiro didn’t try to escape, he didn’t even budge.

Risa: (gets up off of Kanjiro, her cheeks flushed.) I’m sorry Kanjiro-kun... (Risa looks away from Kanjiro embarrassed.

Kanjiro: (smiles) I guess you can’t call me Kanjiro-kun any more. (Risa shakes her head) So you’ll need to call me Kanji-chan!

Then the vision ends and Kanjiro regains control.

Kanjiro: (looks up at Risa with soft eyes, a tear trickling down his cheek) Risa-chan... I remember you! (jumps up and locks Risa in an embrace) I remember you Risa-chan! That day we ran through town and ended up near the lake. They day I let you start calling me Kanji-chan...

*********************************************************

Ok, well basically this is here to explain some of the ending part.

Kanjiro does what he does because he regained some of his memory, he remembered Risa. She was one of the 3 people that reffered to Kanjiro as "Kanji" or "Kanji-chan". He also did what he did because of what was in the memory. That "tender" moment between Kanjiro and Risa.

I also took Kashim's advice and changed RIsa's hair to pink. We'll see how that one works out.

There is some major fighting coming up soon, also we meet a few more characters. One character who will remain unnamed for the moment will directly affect Kazumi's powers. Also we will see the first meeting between Kanjiro and Oniji in this lifetime.

Hope you liked what we have so far.
