Part 09. [version 1.1]
Kojirou's twin looks down at Maria with an almost diabolical
glance while his words are still felt in the background.... "What
is Kojirou's, is mine."
Maria realizes that it's not Kojirou but his twin brother
and tries to get away, but he pushes her against the floor and
she calls for Kojirou, for Kojirou to help her, for Kojirou to---
"Stop calling out that name!!"
"Always, always Kojirou...!"
Maria looks at him, he seems very agitated and steps
away from her. But....
I understand the expression on his face.... This person hates
Kojirou. Why? It's his brother...
"Lord Tadamune" calls somebody from outside the room.
Kojirou's twin, Tadamune, goes to the door and talks with
a man. Maria sees then an opportunity to escape, but as she
tries outrunning Tadamune, he grabs her and orders two
of his subordinates to jail her. As he walks away with no
expression on his face, Maria yells at him asking where Kojirou
is....
In their jail, Kojirou is explaining his foster brother and his
nurse what happened in Spain just when his brother appears.
Kojirou tries to explain him, but Tadamune just says it's
a lie and produces a spear... to the shock of Tomonoshin.
It doesn't matter what Kojirou says, Tadamune is all set on
killing him.
[while Tadamune deals with this, he has
an expressionless, detached look on his face and eyes, very
different than from when he was with Maria]
Meanwhile Maria is being dragged to the jails as she tries
to make them tell her what happened with Kojirou (not that
the guys can understand anything she's saying). Just then they
hear strange noises coming from behind a door and... Captain
Luis and his crew appear! [i think i'm in love... ^^; ]
Maria calls for him and Captain Luis
and the crew take care of the two guys holding her.
Captain Luis orders Maria to return to the ship with two
of the sailors, but Maria refuses and insists on staying and
finding out what is happening to Kojirou.
Back to he, himself, Tadamune is about to spear him, but
Yuugao, all of a sudden, steps in front of Kojirou and tells
Tadamune that if he has to kill somebody, let it be she, then
verbally spanks him and Tadamune starts to loose his detached
expression. Tomonoshin steps then in front of his mother to
protect her, and by then Tadamune is getting really angry.
"All right! You will all die, then!"
Kojirou tells him he won't do it, but Tadamune yells
back that he is serious!
But a man appears to tell Tadamune about the freedom of
the Spanish crew. Kojirou asks his brother where Maria is
and, of course, Tadamune teases him about her (-_-; ).
"What did you do to Maria!?"
"What really happened? That Spanish woman I...." he doesn't
finish the phrase, but Kojirou gets the probable implications.
Kojirou gets really mad, then and exclaims that
he won't forgive him if he has insulted Maria!
But Tadamune just return to his typical detached expression
and after the man tells him something else, he
goes away without replying Kojirou's pleads to know
where Maria is or what happened to her.
Somewhere else in the house, Tadamune enters a room where
a young, pretty girl is waiting. His expression changes instantly
into one of shinning happiness. He asks her, Asagao, what
she is doing there and she replies she is worried because neither
her mother nor her brother returned.
Tadamune produces a fake smile and tries to explain, between
sweats, that both Yuugao and Tomonoshin had a visitor and...
Asagao asks if it was Kojirou and Tadamune nods. Asagao
complains for Tadamune not telling her about that, but
Tadamune manages to tell her she can't see Kojirou for the
moment... Asagao is sad then, and Tadamune asks her if she
was looking forward to meeting Kojirou and she says that
of course, after all they are foster-brothers... but as she
makes happy plans about what to do with Kojirou tomorrow,
Tadamune's expression turns sad. "A... Asagao.... Kojirou, do
you...."
Asagao turns around with a bright smile. "What?"
"No, nothing..."
Since there is nothing else for her to do, Asagao decides
to return home, while Tadamune looks at her with a longing,
sad expression on his eyes....
Captain Luis, some of his crew and Maria are trying to
sneak back into the house. But as---
"Who is there!?"
They all look to the side in surprise, just to find Asagao
there alone, coming down from another path.
"You, what are you!?"
