EPISODE 25: THE EXPLOSION OF THE FIRST FIREWORKS / THE JOURNEY, LIFE BEGINS

EPISODE 25: THE EXPLOSION OF THE FIRST FIREWORKS / THE JOURNEY, LIFE BEGINS

OUTSIDE, IN THE CHURCH COURTYARD-NIGHT

(The demon keeps talking with the tongue out of her mouth telling yūto and aiko)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

What a pity, you are so young, you all have life ahead of you but you can't take it because of your decisions. Inside the black there is a little white, in other words inside the negatives there are a few positives. The positive thing is that you will at least die together, like a couple in love. Hahaha hahaha hahahaha.

(And he attacks yūto. Yūto pulls out his katana and repels all her blows, but the demon girl performs sharp and violent attacks. At the same time the demon boy is behind aiko and makes move to kill her. Then aiko looks behind her in horror and faces the Demon, at the last moment repels his blow. After repelling his blow, the demon starts performing impressive attacks with his nodachi to kill aiko. Aiko repels as many attacks as she can except for the demon's last kick. Aiko crawls over the ground backwards. Then she rushes at the demon with her one stride. At the same time yūto fights the demon girl)

YŪTO

FIRE CYCLE!

(He puts his hands down on the ground, raises his feet, and makes a semicircle by taking out of his feet the purple fire of the demon girl. The demon girl is surprised and backs off. Yūto with his hands approaches her and with his feet from where his fire comes out tries to kill her. Then he puts strength into his hands and makes a great leap forward, soars up into the sky and while he is still in the air again makes another semicircle of fire to cut off her head. He then lands on the ground, pulls katana out of his black holster and starts performing incredibly fast attacks against her. The demon girl finds the opportunity to kill yūto, but yūto repels her attack. At the time of the incredible battle the demon girl says with Demon Gaze to yūto)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

Amazing, amazing, amazing! I want more, more, more, lol! You're perfect, you're not like the others, I'm tired of playing with untrained worms who don't even deserve their own lives. But you, you are different ... with you I never want to stop playing! YOU OFFER ME FEELINGS THAT THE REST COULD NOT IN THE LEAST OFFER TO ME, YOU, YOU ARE DIFFERENT LOL!

(Yūto is startled and thinks of the moment of battle)

YŪTO

Who else, I don't understand?

(He is startled and the pupils of his eyes flicker)

YŪTO

Don't tell me, don't tell me, it can't be!

(Angry asks the demon girl continuing to fight)

YŪTO

Who do you mean, answer me fiend!?

(Yūto makes an impressive attack on her at the moment but the demon girl makes a stunt over him. In slow motion yūto looks at her and the demon girl smiles satanically. Then after he has landed on the ground he kicks yūto's chest. Yūto is ejected meters away. The demon girl laughs satanically and says with tongue out of her mouth)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

I mean the other two demon hunters or rather three friends of yours. It was a boy with a girl, both useless, weak. As for the demon boy I can say he tried hard but he failed too. As I watched them all three in blood, I thought to myself, " this picture reminds me of something, it's so familiar in my demon mind" but it's okay, it's Okay why, why... do you know why? Because they're dead, hahahahahahaha!

(Yūto madly steps on the ground and attacks the demon girl again while on his face he has some bruises and scratches)

YŪTO

ITACHI, SORA AND AOI WILL NEVER DIE! WHY, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE STRONGEST DEMON HUNTERS I HAVE MET IN ALL THIS TIME OF MY JOURNEY, THEY WILL NEVER FORGET THE PROMISE WE ALL MADE TOGETHER, NEVER! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

(After several attacks, yuto repels the demon girl's attack and cuts her arm. The demon girl moves away. For a while the battle stops, yūto takes quick breaths and the demon girl says with her tongue out of her mouth)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

I don't think so. You see all these people down there, waiting to see the fireworks…

(The demon girl shows yūto with her donachi and goes on to say)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

Just so you know, when the first firecracker pops up in the sky and makes the first bang remember that someone will have died, basically what someone some ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

(Yūto clenches teeth and grip from his katana, again attacks shouting. At the same time aiko fights the demon boy in the forest that is next door)

OUTDOOR SPACE, NEAR THE TEMPLE, IN THE FOREST-NIGHT

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

Mmm, you're good, let's see if you can handle this.

(And attacks aiko as he runs towards her he says in a hushed voice)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

Shadow technic.

(The whole place is filled with black shadows and aiko looks around a little scared, she thinks)

AIKO

What, what, what are these?

(The Voice of the demon boy is heard saying while aiko looks around her right-left)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

Now I'm here and now I'm here or am I behind you?

(The demon boy is behind aiko, aiko turns to face him and the demon boy makes a move to kill her but does not succeed, only makes a scratch on her cheek. Aiko makes attacks with her fans, but strikes the shadow. the demon boy has disappeared. The shadow evaporates and aiko thinks)

AIKO

What is it, is it, is it a shadow? Shit, he's using the shadows to confuse me, one of many demon moves. How do I figure out who is the real one among so many shadows?

(Aiko's eyes tremble and she starts to get nervous and scared, bends her head and again thinks frightened)

AIKO

How? How? How? Maybe I'll die, maybe ... no, there's no "can " aiko. No aiko everything will be fine, you will come out victorious from this showdown, just believe, believe.

(Aiko fans at that moment put out a black aura, aiko is startled and says)

AIKO

What, what is this?

(Aiko's eyes become more intense orange color and the fans stop putting out that black aura. Then aiko raises her head slowly. Aiko's character has changed because she was influenced by the power of connection, her fans offer her that power to face the demon. He smiles fiendishly saying:)

AIKO

I see you're hiding well, demon, don't play tricks it's not right, hahahahahaha!

(With a step he strides forward and begins in a surprising manner to dissipate in its passage whatever shadow he finds. Aiko behaves confidently as nothing stops her to find the demon. Aiko cries)

AIKO

Get out, Get Out, Get Out, get out wherever you are! You can't hide forever, can you?! I'll find you wherever you are. And when I find you, I promise you that in your hands you will hold your head!

(The demon boy appears from behind her and stabs her with his nodachi saying coldly)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

You don't have to find me after all, I found you first.

(Aiko looks at him with blood in her mouth and cuts off his head with her fans with incredible speed. Then aiko falls down to the ground, while the demon boy disappears again. Aiko with great effort rises to her feet again, then with a demoniac look cries)

AIKO

Is that all you got?! Deal with me, you pathetic worm, deal with me! Aah!

(The demon boy appears and disappears in several places, aiko then impressively repels many of the attacks but in the end falls down to the ground covered in blood to her face and scratches all over her body as the yukata she is wearing is torn in several places)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

You're pathetic, the anger, the love, the joy and sadness that you have buried in you is not a good ally in this battle. You have a technique to bury all those feelings, but you're still such a weak creature.

(And looks at yūto fighting with his sister)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

I think my little sister needs a little help.…

(With these words he takes a step thither, but aiko has already got up. With his head bowed and in a low voice he says:)

AIKO

Hey, hey, where do you think you're going demon, now the good starts.

(The demon boy turns to aiko and with a cold look again says)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

I see that even half-dead you want to fight to protect this hunter. Something you've never been able to do before and you're asking for it to happen again, aren't you?

(Aiko closes her eyes)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

You think you're gonna save that boy again, but nothing's gonna happen from what you're thinking. You know why, you know? Because you're weak.

(Aiko while her eyes are closed remembers the words of the elder who told her when she was a little girl)

THE FLASHBACK BEGINS:

OUTDOOR AREA, IN THE MAIN GARDEN WITH THE CHERRY TREE-DAY

ELDER

Do not let them influence you with his words, believe in yourself and never forget that a soul will be there beside you and fight with you even if it does not appear in your eyes. The hunter must always hunt, trust the process.

RETURN FROM FLASHBACK:

OUTDOOR SPACE, NEAR THE TEMPLE, IN THE FOREST-NIGHT

(Then aiko opens her eyes again with the fans taking out this black aura, she tells The Demon)

AIKO

You know Demon, your life is a river.

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

What are you talking about? Are you crazy, are you crazy?!

(Aiko continues)

AIKO

You cannot bring back the waters of this river, nor change their course, but only wait and proceed parallel with it until it reaches the end of its destination which is the cataract.

(The demon boy thinks while performing against her impressive attacks and repulses)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

Damn, it doesn't bend, why? Why? Since all that I say is true, it has happened, and yet she acts as if it never happened. It was as if a spirit had passed and snatched from her hollow mind all her unpleasant memories.

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

STOP, SHUT THE FUCK UP! Die~!

(Aiko smiles, takes a pose. The demon boy disappears and appears behind aiko making a move to kill her. Aiko repels his blow, and the demon boy is surprised, at the same time thinking)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

It's not possible!

(Aiko with the fans pulling out this black aura repels and retaliates the blows of the demon child. At the same time yūto continues to fight the demon girl, from his face dripping blood and sweat but does not give up. Yūto is tired and in a moment in the great battle is attacked by the demon girl, he repels her but the Demon is classes faster despite her level. Then she finds the opportunity and appears from behind him putting her nodachi on his neck. Yūto stands still while the demon girl whispers in his ear with tongue out of her mouth)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

Ara, ara, you were so close, but look, look, look how far away you are after all! YOUR TIME IS OVER WITH YOUR LIFE, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(At that moment the demon boy appears through the forest holding aiko by the hair. Blood flows from aiko's face and scratches everywhere. The demon boy throws aiko next to yuto and pulls the nodachi out of his holster. Yūto yells angrily)

YŪTO

AIKO! AIKO!

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

As my sister promised, you will die together. Isn't that something?

(Aiko gets up and paws the ground with her knees, her demon boy puts nodachi in front of her neck ready to kill her. Aiko lowers her head and tears flow from her eyes, then yūto looks at her and cries)

YŪTO

AIKO~!

(Aiko raises her head and looks at yūto while the tears don't stop flowing)

YŪTO

LIFT YOUR HEAD UP, LIFT IT UP! FACE DEATH IN THE FACE LIKE A WORTHY DEMON HUNTER! WE TRIED HARD, AND THAT COUNTS! WE DREAMED, WE LIVED FREE, FREE AS BIRDS AND WE REALIZED EVEN FOR A WHILE OUR DREAMS! BUT WE CANNOT ALWAYS WIN! SO SMILE, SMILE BECAUSE THE GREATEST STRENGTH IS, IS THE EFFORT TO FULFILL YOUR DREAMS! SMILE, SMILE AND LOOK AT THE SUN!

(At these words aiko's tears dried up save for one that just rolled from her cheek. Then aiko says in a hushed voice)

AIKO

Yūto, I love you! It was nice to meet you and I wish we could be together again in the next life, I want to meet you again from beginning to end.

(Yūto smiles while blood flows from his face)

YŪTO

Don't wish, say we'll be together again. Because we will be aiko, I will never leave you!

(Aiko then says with yet another tear falling from her cheek)

AIKO

Mmm, we will, yūto!

(While all is lost a voice whispers in itachi's ear, it is yūto's sister, aiko)

OUTER SPACE, INSIDE THE DARK STRAIT INSIDE THE CITY TO-NIGHT

AIKO

Don't give up itachi, don't give up. Do your best.

(Itachi is startled and opens his eyes sharply, so he looks at the two demons that are in front of him)

OUTSIDE, ON THE ROOFS OF OLD JAPANESE HOUSES IN THE CITY TO-NIGHT

(So does sora hear shu's voice telling him)

SHU

I never had to tell you to try because that's what you've always done, now what's changed, dear sora?

(Sora opens his eyes and sees the demon boy in front of him who is holding aoi by the hair and has put his nodachi on her neck)

OUTSIDE, IN THE CHURCH COURTYARD-NIGHT

(Then a firecracker appears up in the sky, yuto again looks at aiko smiling tells her)

YŪTO

Can I see your smile one last time, aiko? I want to die and remember something good, something I'll never forget.

(Aiko wastes no time and tells him)

AIKO

Yes, yūto.

(And she smiles sweetly at the same time she has her eyes closed. The first firework pops up in the sky and a yellow color fills up, followed by the rest of the fireworks from behind. The demon boy makes a move to kill itachi. Itachi without wasting time thinks while from behind starts playing music MV] niki feat れをる-ロジックエージェント / logic agent)

ITACHI

I'm not giving up, I won't let you down, not now. I will fight, I will fight, I will fight for you. JUST FOR YOU, AIKO!

(Itachi catches his katana and yells)

ITACHI

RED EYE!

(The veins become visible to the naked eye upon itachi's body as his teeth grow and become sharp as those of demons. He has taken his demon form. At once he takes a step and attacks the two demons like a spinner cutting off the right hand of the demon boy and the left hand of the demon girl. The Demons in sora and aiko along with yuto fall hands down. Aiko thinks)

OUTSIDE, IN THE CHURCH COURTYARD-NIGHT

AIKO

Here's our chance, grab it!

OUTSIDE, ON THE ROOFS OF OLD JAPANESE HOUSES IN THE CITY TO-NIGHT

(At the same time sora looks at the demon boy who drops his hand down to the ground and the demon girl. Then he looks at his fist as he lies on the ground, from his fist he hears voices. At the same time the two demons reconstruct their hands)

PEOPLE'S VOICES

You can do it. Go on. A little more. Make them understand not to mess with hunters. Life is ahead of you. Make them regret it. For your father sora.

(Sora makes a sharp turn tripping the demon girl, grabs his axes and attacks the demon boy making an impressive stunt. Sora while in the air with hatred in his gaze goes to behead the demon boy. The demon boy puts forward his left hand to repel sora's attack but eyes. Sora cuts both his arm and the head of the demon boy, then lands in impressive fashion. The aoi is Snaps, and sora slowly and demonstratively raises his head. Out of his eyes comes a Green Breeze {fire} he seizes the handles of the two axes and says:)

SORA

It's my turn to play, the festival is about to begin!

(And he attacks. On the other hand, itachi with the red eye can see the heartbeats of the demons, so while the Demons teleport from shadow to shadow itachi sees them. Demons attack, and itachi repels all their attacks in an amazing way, without turning to look at them. On the other hand, yuto and aiko find the opportunity, get up and start fighting the demons as well. Battles take place when all the fireworks fill the sky with gorgeous colors and hold until the end. Itachi, yuto and aiko have no difficulty unlike sora so we will focus on sora's battle. Sora while fighting from his eyes comes out a Green Breeze {fire}, but still can not hear the footsteps of demons. Think)

SORA

I can not hear them, they are fast and agile, but I have to try hard, do not despair sora the solution of your problem is somewhere out there. It's right in front of your eyes, right under your nose, you're just blind!

(Growling sora attacks constantly, because of the violent moves he makes to kill them he does not think, only fights like a wild beast. Demons carry out strategic attacks against him. In this way sora does not take long to fill again with blood on his face and on his back and on his body. (The demon girl looks at him with a demon stare and putting her tongue out says)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

What happened demon hunter you look tired. If your mother were here she would take care of you and rest you with just one look at You, Am I wrong? Hahahahahahahaha!

(Sora tightens the handles more than his axes and attacks shouting)

SORA

DON'T TAKE MY MOTHER IN YOUR DIRTY MOUTH, MONSTER! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

(The demon girl repels sora's attacks, from the sides appears the demon boy attacking. Sora repels the attack and making a kolotumba from above goes to cut off his head, but does not succeed, at least escapes)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

We better get this over with, we've got three more demon hunters to kill, one less.

(The demon girl looks at her brother and shakes her head. Then aoi sees sora tired with blood all over his face and body, she thinks)

AOI

He's tired, he won't make it, I have to do something. I must do something to help him, but it is all useless. I'm useless, why? Why should I possess the musical technique and not some other? I can't, I can't do it, please Mother help me. Please.

(And she bends her head, then a voice whispers in her ear)

SAKAKIBARA

Look before you, believe in yourself, play one tune for me, one last happy tune.

(Aoi raises her head, thinking about her mother's words as sora tries to emerge victorious from this impressive, difficult battle)

SAKAKIBARA

Music has to come out of you, out of your soul. You give the power to the warrior, not the warrior to you. Whatever you feel you will pass on to him, you will give him courage to make the impossible possible.

(Aoi turns from {flashback}. She pulls out her shamisen (三味線) and thinks one more time)

AOI

Yes, I'll try! I want to give sora strength to face them and in the end people to be freed from this torment. But to do that, I promise you, mother, I will be a teacher!

(Aoi starts playing the tune. Sora's gaze changes, sora relaxes, his teeth clenched by anger and fear relaxes them and looks at aoi. Demon girl tells with demon stare while constantly attacking sora)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

Your little assistant finally woke up, hahahahaha! But it still doesn't do anything, it's useless. Hahahahahaha!

(Sora repels all attacks with a calm look, thinks)

SORA

I know that song from time to time. This melody is so serene, yet so, so…

(Sora enters into a memory of the past)

THE FLASHBACK BEGINS:

OUTDOOR SPACE, IN THE YARD OUTSIDE HIS FATHER'S HOUSE-DAY

(He remembers himself as a toddler with his father being out of the house and playing. His mother knits while a woman stands next to her and plays almost the same tune as her koto (箏). Sora yells)

SORA

Dad, Dad, I'm sick of this game. let's play something else.

(Sora's father, who also has green hair and green eyes, puts his hand under his chin and thinks. An idea came to his mind and he says:)

FATHER OF SORA

Mmm, how about we play hide and seek?

(Sora gets excited and answers with a smile on his lips)

SORA

Yeah, yeah, great! I'll count to 10, you, dad, hide.

SORA

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 out! I'm coming to find you wherever you are.

(Sora starts looking but doesn't find it. He approached his mother and asked her in a low voice so that his father would not hear)

SORA

Mom, mom, Where Did Dad hide, did you see him?

(The mother looks at him with a smile on her lips and tells him while at the same time continues to knit)

MOTHER OF SORA

We can't steal sora. Don't cheat.

(Sora laughs with his eyes closed)

SORA

Hehee, I'm sorry.

(Sora goes to leave but his mother's words stop him)

MOTHER OF SORA

Why don't you use the move dad taught you, maybe it'll help you?

(And continues to knit)

SORA

That's right, how come I didn't think of it? Thanks, mom.

(He closes his eyes and says with a serious look)

SORA

Balance breath.

(The air enters his lungs, but only from one point does the air seem to stop. It's like stepping over an obstacle. He opens his eyes sharply, the mother asks him, wondering to learn)

MOTHER OF SORA

What's going on sora?

(Sora runs into his mother's arms screaming)

SORA

I did it, mom! I did it, I did it!

(Mother caresses him with her eyes closed)

MOTHER OF SORA

Well done sora, I'm so proud of you.

(Then she lets him out of her arms and tells him again)

MOTHER OF SORA

Run, run and find him before he leaves that spot.

(Sora runs away, then says the woman sitting next to the mother and we haven't seen her face yet)

DEMON WOMAN, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 6

It's very nice to have a family, Ma'm.

MOTHER OF SORA

Indeed, it is. And I'm more glad you're a part of it.

DEMON WOMAN, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 6

It's an honor, Ma'am.

RETURN FROM FLASHBACK:

OUTSIDE, ON THE ROOFS OF OLD JAPANESE HOUSES IN THE CITY TO-NIGHT

(sora comes back from remembering {flashback} and as he has blocked the attack of the demon boy is startled, he thinks)

SORA

Now I understand! The solution was before my eyes, it was obvious, my initial move. The balance breath movement does not only help you to see and design the place where you are, but also to feel. Sensation is power, not sight. Good grief what an idiot I was? But everything will be fixed, here and now.

(Sora closes his eyes and will have them closed for the rest of the fighting time, he does not say anything just slowly kneels. The demon boy thinks he'll give up. He says as he puts strength in with his nodachi to make sora kneel more)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

What's up, what'S up HUNTER can'T take it anymore?! DROP IT, DROP IT, AND DIE!

(Behind sora appears the demon girl going to kill him. Sora repels the attack of the demon girl without turning to face her, only brings the axe he holds in his right hand backwards. Demons are surprised. Sora doesn't speak except to take the breath out of his mouth. The air coming out of his mouth looks like a fog. The demon boy disappears and attacks again. Sora again takes breath and repels the attacks of demons. Demon boy stunned and ponders)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

it is not possible, for at one moment he was about to bend, and now he repels our blows without any difficulty. What changed? Why did he get so strong? WHAT MADE HIM SO STRONG, DAMN IT!

(Behind sora appears his mother in the same attitude that sora stands. Demon boy steps back and thinks again)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

It can't... it can't be happening, after he's dead he can't be born again, he can't be! No, no, no, it can't be the blind demon, yet it fits as well with that child as two drops of water. I see, only one person could look like this monster and he should be part of her family. Don't tell me... don't tell me it's her son! Don't tell me that monster is ... damn it!

(The two demons attack, so does sora. Aoi continues to play the tune. Sora as he repels and retaliates the attacks by taking out the right moments his breath, thinks with closed eyes)

SORA

I knew you wouldn't let me down, aoi. Let's make history!

(Sora with a step on the ground attacks the two demons)

OUTSIDE, IN THE CHURCH COURTYARD-NIGHT

(At the same time yūto who fights the demon girl, is tired but continues to repel her blows. Demon girl screams)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

More, More, Show me your true strength demi man! Avenge the loss of your mother, your father and your entire village! Even for aiko, avenge what you lost hahahahahahahaha!

(Yūto repels her attack and moves away a little, then says in a hushed voice tightening the grip of his katana)

YŪTO

That's what I'm gonna do, and I'm too late.

(He puts the blade from his katana in front of his mouth, closes his eyes and images come to mind. Images such as: from training with his father, the first acquaintance with itachi, the training with the old man in the forest, the hibana he met on the mountain, the acquaintance with sora, the acquaintance with aiko, and finally the sweet smile of his sister and mother, finally remembers the words of the old teacher from the forest.

THE FLASHBACK BEGINS:

INSIDE, IN THE HOUSE OF THE TWO MASTERS OF YŪTO, INSIDE HIS ROOM TO-NIGHT

OLD LADY

Take out all the emotions…

RETURN FROM FLASHBACK:

(Yūto smiles and says

YŪTO

Breath of sword!

(And he blows the blade from his katana, immediately the blade fills with the purple fire and begins to swing like a normal fire. Then he holds it with both hands by the right side of his head, bends his head and body a little forward, and stretches his left leg backward ready to attack. With one push of his foot he stands in front of the demon girl and furiously begins to perform impressive quick attacks. The demon girl repels all his attacks. On her face is vividly seen the fear she has. Ponders for the last time)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

It didn't work, damn it! He can control his emotions. The next Demons will have a hard time, hehe.

(The demon girl starts laughing as she constantly takes big steps backwards, but yūto follows her threateningly)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

Lol, I'm ready to die, lol! I'm Waiting, I'm Waiting!

YŪTO

I WILL NOT DELAY TO OFFER YOU DEATH, FIRE FLASH!

(He takes a step to catch up with the demon girl, and behind his left foot his fire follows him in The Shape of a semicircle. At the same time he cries)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

What is life, nothing! Hahahahahahaha! All is lost, dreams shattered and hopes burned! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

YŪTO

You're losing the battle because you haven't found your symbol! To live you have to have a demon symbol, a symbol that will guide you and constantly show you who you really are and where you can reach! But no one can see it or recognize it! And that's... that's ... that's the belief that we can all change this world together! We can continue to fight to fulfill our dreams! Every moment we live is precious, life is short. Search within yourself and you will find it, you will find the symbol you seek, I am sure of it! Unfortunately, it's too late for you, because I'VE already found it and I intend to spread it everywhere! THAT'S WHY I FIGHT AND WILL FIGHT WITHOUT STOPPING! A SYMBOL A HUNTER!

(On yūto's Cheek is a fire of purple and yellow. Then itachi shouts and he fights demons)

OUTER SPACE, INSIDE THE DARK STRAIT INSIDE THE CITY TO-NIGHT

ITACHI

A SYMBOL A HUNTER!

(On itachi's cheek a black odd symbol is created)

OUTSIDE, ON THE ROOFS OF OLD JAPANESE HOUSES IN THE CITY TO-NIGHT

SORA

A SYMBOL A HUNTER!

(On sora's forehead a green eye is created)

OUTSIDE, IN THE CHURCH COURTYARD-NIGHT

AIKO

A SYMBOL A HUNTER!

(A beautiful pink flower is created on her cheek)

ITACHI, AIKO, SORA, YŪTO

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

(At the same time they attack the Demons by shouting. Itachi surprisingly makes a koloruba over them and like a spinner cuts off their heads. Sora makes a jump and cuts them in half from top to bottom. Aiko cuts the throat of the demon boy with her fans. Finally yūto with a loud step hurls himself from the trunk of the tree at the demon girl, brings his right hand that holds also his katana to the left, and when he gets too close to her he makes a movement from the left to the right cutting off her head. The demons that yūto and aiko were fighting disappear straight away, the same thing happens to sora. The real demons are in itachi. The heads of the two demons are detached from the rest of his body and the ground is filled with blood. Then itachi makes a sharp movement of his hand that holds katana from top to bottom and the blood that has the blade sticks to the ground. Then he turns his back and starts walking as the sun slowly rises. The demon girl grasps the arm of her brother who is beside her. She says with a smile on her lips)

OUTSIDE, INSIDE THE DARK STRAIT INSIDE THE CITY - THE SUN RISES

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

Brother.

(The demon boy turns his head to face her)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

Remember, when we were little kids and played carefree?

(The demon boy with cold gaze answers her)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

Remember.

(For a while silence prevails. The sunbeams strike them and the two demons slowly disappear in the form of dust)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

Brother, are you scared?

(The demon boy looks at his sister again and answers her with a cold look)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

No, I'm not afraid to die. You know why? Because I'm sure I'll have you around again, maybe in another life where we don't know each other, but... but I'll get to know you and I'm looking forward to it. I can't wait to meet you all over again.

(From the cheek of the demon girl rolls a tear, she cries)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

Say it, I want to hear you say it! I want that word out of your mouth, that word you've never said to me. Tell me that-

(And before she has time to finish her sentence, the demon boy says)

DEMON BOY, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

I love you, I love you very, very, very much. My sister, my heart, my love.

(The demon girl looks at her brother surprised. Then she says in a low voice her last words before dying as another tear rolls down her cheek)

DEMON GIRL, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 9

I love you too, little brother.

(The two demons disappear. Yūto looks around to find aiko. Aiko appears through the forest full of scratches and blood like everyone else. She approaches him smiling, sits with him and watches the sun rise slowly)

OUTSIDE, IN THE COURTYARD OF THE CHURCH-THE SUN RISES

AIKO

How beautiful they are.

(At the same time aoi plays a tune to heal sora, sora sits and looks at the sun. Itachi on the other hand is sad, until a voice whispers to him)

OUTSIDE, INSIDE THE DARK NARROW STREET OF THE CITY - THE SUN RISES

SAKAKIBARA

Look up to the sky, don't be sorry just say one last goodbye.

(Itachi is startled for a while, then he looks up at the sky and sees the sun rise, a tear rolls down his cheek, he smiles and says in a low voice)

ITACHI

Goodbye, sakakibara-sensei.

OUTSIDE, IN THE COURTYARD OF THE CHURCH-THE SUN RISES

(Yūto sees that aiko grasps the tip of her right hand and blood flows from there)

YŪTO

Aiko, you're hurt, wait.

(So she tears some cloth from the yukata she wears and ties her wound. While yūto ties her wound, aiko says)

AIKO

No, no, I'm fine.I don't have to.

(When he finishes yūto says with a smile on his lips)

YŪTO

That's better.

(Aiko a little blushes and says shyly)

AIKO

Th-th-thank you, yūto.

YŪTO

You're welcome.

(The best, last firework soars into the sky and before it bursts yūto tells aiko)

YŪTO

Aiko, I want to tell you something too.

(Aiko looks at yūto with curiosity. Yūto rubs the back of his hair and says as the fireworks burst and filled the sky with many colors)

YŪTO

And I, and I... aiko I love you.

(Aiko blushes, so does yūto but very little)

YŪTO

I love you, like sora, Itachi, aoi, and I want us all to stick together. Our future holds many surprises, and I want us to discover it together.

(Yūto grasps her hand. Aiko smiles and thinks)

AIKO

Stupid yūto, you cannot understand my meaning when I say "I love you." But I can totally understand what you mean. Perhaps I shall soon be more explicit.

(Then, when the last firecracker was over. Yūto gets up and stretching out his hand to help aiko get up says)

YŪTO

Come on, it's time to go back, our mission ends here somewhere.

(Aiko smiles and grasps yūto's hand. Meanwhile Itachi has already arrived at the house and sora and aoi are there, when yūto and aiko arrive at the house they see sora holding itachi by the collar and shouting while he is about to kill him)

OUTDOOR AREA, OUTSIDE THE HOUSE OF SAKAKIBARA-DAY

SORA

YOU USELESS IDIOT! HOW DID YOU ALLOW THAT? ARE YOU OR ARE YOU NOT DEMON HUNTER?! YOU HAD TO SACRIFICE YOURSELF TO SAVE HER, AND YOU DIDN'T DO ANY OF THAT! PATHETIC, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE HERE, RUN INTO THE WOODS WHERE YOU BELONG!

(Meanwhile aoi shouts at everyone during the fight)

AOI

Sora, it's not his fault, you misunderstand! Don't hurt him!

(So cries itachi in turn)

ITACHI

I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T MY FAULT, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED, HE WOULD DIE! IT WAS CERTAIN!

SORA

LIAR, YOU LIE SO YOU CAN SAVE YOUR PATHETIC ASS, SHAME ON YOU! BUT I KNOW, I'M NOT SO EASILY FOOLED! IT'S NOT WORTH LIVING ANYMORE, SO DIE~!

(So sora goes to hit him with his fist in itachi's face, at that exact moment yūto approaches sora and grabs his hand from behind preventing him from hitting itachi. So yūto holding sora's hand says)

YŪTO

Leave him alone, sora.

(Sora clenches his teeth and forcefully pulls his hand freeing it. Then itachi approaches yūto and kneels before him saying:)

ITACHI

I'm sorry, yūto, but I need to clarify my position. I killed sakakibara-sensei or at least because of me she died. I yūto ... I. I'M NOT WHAT I LOOK LIKE. I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SO SORRY YŪTO. MAYBE AT SOME POINT YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHO I REALLY AM. BUT I CAN'T STAY WITH YOU! I CAN'T. SORRY, SORRY AOI.

(Yūto catches itachi's head, itachi looks at him with tears in his eyes, yūto with a smile on his lips says)

YŪTO

I know exactly who you are, itachi. You are a child who wants to protect and keep balance in this world like all of us after all. So get up and keep walking with us. We all make mistakes, we're all going to miss something, and the events have already started, it seems.

(Sora who has been propped up against a wall a few meters away is startled and shouts)

SORA

HUH?! You're letting him come with us even with what he did.

(Yūto turns his head towards sora and in a serious tone asks him)

YŪTO

Why, what happened?

(Sora approaches yūto)

SORA

It happened that he killed sakakibara, he could not protect her from demons and aoi is now left an orphan! She could not protect the most precious person aoi had near her! How can we trust him afterwards?! How will the remaining individuals protect our team if they have not been able to save one already?! Think yūto. Me, you, aiko or aoi, I'm not giving him another chance! He is a false hunter, a worthless one!

(Aoi yells)

AOI

Stop sora!

(Sora looks at aoi, sora's face changes directly, from an angry look turns to a look filled with Wonder)

SORA

But aoi-

(But before he has time to finish his sentence AOI continues)

AOI

While you were fighting those demons, a voice whispered to me. I knew it was my mother, I knew she was dead. Anyway for many days my mother had nightmares, she told me that sooner or later she would die. He also told me not to cry but to be strong because, because some people would come and take me with them on this great journey he called "life." I'm not sorry that my mother died, because I know that now, as we speak, she will be in a place filled with colorful flowers, watching us and laughing.

(Aoi smiles sweetly as a tear comes out of her eye. Sora then approaches itachi and with bowed head says tentatively as he is pissed)

SORA

Make sure next time you protect the one next to you because I won't show you mercy. And s-SO-s-sor-sorry.

(Itachi clasps him in his arms and forcefully lifts him up, so itachi with a smile tells him)

ITACHI

Never mind sora, we all make mistakes even you.

(Yūto then turns his back and says)

YŪTO

For children.

(All the children turn and look at him. So yūto continues)

YŪTO

I want to tell you something important. Since the day I became demon hunter I have not regretted anything, no decision I make, no thought I create in my mind, no action I perform. But we all lost something in common, a loved one who does not turn back to us. But we all fight for the same cause. We fight for the joy of souls, to protect the living and to make all of us feel free on a day like this. I will not conceal it from you; the road from now on will be more difficult than it is now; some of us may die, and we may have to leave them behind us with only one stone in the ground to remember. However, we will have to move on and not regret anything, so I would like you to think again about your options and answer me with maturity. I will continue this journey whatever the end may be, for I threw my own leaf into the river, and now call to follow it. I want to learn from life, to live unforgettable moments, that is also the meaning of life, for this purpose we live. But do you want to live?

(The children look at him, a few seconds after sora takes a step forward telling yūto by grasping his shoulder with his left hand)

SORA

I'm not going to let you kill the demons alone, I have a share of their bodies.

(Yūto smiles, then takes a step and itachi says)

ITACHI

We'll be in this together, like we used to be.

(And finally aiko along with aoi step forward and says aiko)

AIKO

Who said We can't live a normal life even if we're demon hunters, now what do we do?

(Then aoi leaves aiko's hand and runs towards yūto telling him)

AOI

I'll try hard, bro.

(Yūto strokes aoi's head and they start walking. Aiko follows him, and behind yūto runs itachi, but something stops them. It's the words of aoi)

AOI

Wait a minute, please.

(They all look at her curiously. Then outside the door of her house she leaves a few flowers, joins her hands, makes her prayer and runs to catch up with them. When they have taken the road to the forest sora takes aoi on his shoulders and Itachi next to sora they discuss, while at the same time aiko talks with aoi. Yūto is crowned while he is last back behind. Then Hibana falls over a tree and appears in front of him. Yūto scares, hibana says with smile)

OUTDOORS, IN THE FOREST-DAY

HIBANA

Yūto, what are you doing hehe?

(Yūto a little tired says)

YŪTO

Can you not suddenly show up and scare me?

(Hibana laughs, then looks at the people who are stepping forward and says to yūto with Wonder in her gaze)

HIBANA

But I like it when you're scared. Is this your team, after all?

(Yūto looks forward with a smile on his lips saying)

YŪTO

In fact, this is my team, the best demon hunters.

(Hibana smiling says)

HIBANA

I see, they seem very close to each other hehe. What a sight it would be to be with you.

(Yūto starts up and walks on saying)

YŪTO

Soon hibana, soon you will join the team, just ... sora is not doing very well with the Demons, at least yet.

(Hibana follows him and says in turn)

HIBANA

Savvy.

(Then yūto hurriedly gives a note to hibana and starts running shouting at hibana who stands behind and looks at him)

YŪTO

Follow what the note says, See you later.

(So yūto runs to catch up with the others while hibana smiles as she opens the note and reads it. Then she goes into the woods with a smile on her lips, saying at the same time:

HIBANA

What a bloody boy he is, hechee.

(When yūto gets too close to the children he jumps up and is caught by sora's left shoulder and Itachi's left shoulder. Then he shouts loudly)

YŪTO

Let's go on new adventures, are you ready?!

(So all together shout)

AIKO, SORA, ITACHI, AOI

Let's go!

(Meanwhile a Demon runs through a house with ancient Japanese architecture that looks like a maze. He then reaches the main room and falls to his knees with one hand gripping the floor. He is a demon with a mask that on one side is colored white and on the other side is colored black, in his belt he carries two large katana inside two white color pouches. Then he says:)

INDOOR, INSIDE THE JAPANESE HOUSE, IN THE MAIN ROOM-DAY

DEMON BOY WITH TWO KATANA, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 5

I have bad news, My Lord.

(In front of him stands a demon who sits on his knees and does not see his face. He is the king of demons and next to him sits on his knees a demon woman who wears a black hood but has white eyes color, he also has two eyes which have a whole color black as well as the White of the eye, still on one of the two eyes writes in red kenji "music". The Demon Woman plays a quiet tune with her koto (箏). So the king of demons in turn asks, taking a sip of his tea)

DEMON KING, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 0

Mmm, let me guess. For the first and last time they failed?

(Level 5 demon hesitates to answer him)

DEMON BOY WITH TWO KATANA, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 5

Yes, my Lord.

DEMON KING, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 0

What should we do? It was probably bad luck. Anyway, you sit on your knees too, so you'll be more comfortable.it'll take a little longer than usual.

(Level 5 demon says while not looking into the eyes of Kings)

DEMON BOY WITH TWO KATANA, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 5

But, my Lord!-

(But the King interrupts him)

DEMON KING, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 0

Wait, wait, there's no need for formalities between us, don't forget that you're my brother too.

(The Level 5 demon then says in a louder voice)

DEMON BOY WITH TWO KATANA, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 5

No! No, I beg your Pardon, My Lord, but I cannot, I will not carry out your order.

(The King says with a sly smile on his lips)

DEMON KING, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 0

I see, as you wish, brother, I will not press you. Anyway, I want you to go find out who they are and destroy them. Make them one with the ground and protect our community.

DEMON BOY WITH TWO KATANA, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 5

Yes, my Lord, your orders are my mission, it is a great honor to serve you.

DEMON KING, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 0

Natsuki will accompany you on this very difficult and daring mission.

(And then the wooden door next to the Level 5 demon opens, from there proceeds and approaches the old woman who fought with sora. Then the old woman, having assumed her normal form, falls to the floor, bows to the king, and says with a shrewd smile:)

OLD WOMAN DEMON NAMED: NATSUKI, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 8

Good to see you again, my master hehe. This time I won't get away with those rats, I promise you on my own life.

DEMON BOY WITH TWO KATANA, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 5

Master, with all due respect to you, I don't want any Parisians at my feet. This will make it more difficult for me to carry out the mission that. Still, it shows me that you don't trust me and that I haven't perfected my powers as a blood moon 5 class warrior.

(As soon as she says all this, the demon woman playing koto (箏) gets out of the rhythm and sounds a wrong note. So silence prevails, and the King says:)

DEMON KING, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 0

Don't take it on a personal level, I would never try to offend you and especially in such a cowardly way, you have my word. But to ease your pain, I don't want you to die. I do not wish to lose any more demons for an old story of times that unfortunately continues to this day. That's all.

DEMON BOY WITH TWO KATANA, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 5

No, I didn't want that to be said, on the contrary it would be an honor to protect-

DEMON KING, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 0

If you wish to protect, you must cooperate.

DEMON BOY WITH TWO KATANA, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 5

Yes, my lord, I am sorry for the objection I made to you before.

(Then behind the demon level 5 appears and a demon with closed eyes and as he has a smile on his lips holds a red with black color Japanese umbrella that on it has painted various flowers of different colors. So he says with a smile)

MALE DEMON WITH UMBRELLA NAMED: AYATO, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 2

It would be better for me to follow them myself, my Lord. Two new students who just recently perfected will need guidance out there, don't you agree?

DEMON KING, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 0

Very good thinking, Why not then. I accept it your ready brother ayato, take care of them like your eyes.

(Ayato makes a bow and with a smile says)

AYATO, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 2

Thank you very much, my lord, it is my duty to protect us.

(Out of nowhere a demon appears with a brush in his hand and joyfully embraces ayato)

MALE DEMON WITH BRUSH, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 3

Little brother! Bravo, bravo, Congratulations, another mission you will carry out successfully! Take care of yourself.

(Ayato hugging his brother and he with a smile says)

AYATO, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 2

Mmm I'll try hard my brother.

(Then the Level 3 demon starts and cries saying)

MALE DEMON WITH BRUSH, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 3

Mother would be proud of you if she were still alive.

(Then the Level 5 demon with bowed head as it is tells ayato-sensei)

DEMON BOY WITH TWO KATANA, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 5

Master, I'm sorry to interrupt you at this beautiful moment of your farewell, but we'd better move on as soon as possible.

(Ayato starts and walks while the Level 5 demon and natsuki follow behind him. When they are ready to close the door behind them, the demon with the Level 3 brush screams)

MALE DEMON WITH BRUSH, BLOOD MOON LEVEL 3

WE'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK ALIVE!

(With these words the level 6 Demon Woman playing koto (箏) again makes a mistake and sounds the wrong note)

25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25 25
