Riku.

Hey Hibiki, coming to graduation today?

Hibiki.

Riku. To get out of the house.

Hibiki. No.

Riku. You’ve got to come out sometime,

you must be lonely, having nothing to look at but anime girls all day.

Hibiki.

If you came over to criticize me you can go away.

[Thinking]

Hibiki's brain doesn’t work right. He only has feelings for himself and he hardly talks to anyone.

10

Right before the Haitatsunin looks up Hibiki runs out of site.

Touta. She's just crazy.

Woman.[Screams]

Touta picks woman up by her hair and snaps her neck. S.

Hey Master Touta, why don't we have real names? Why do you

call us by the letters on our faces?

Touta. Because S, it is easier for me.

Hibiki continues walking.

Hibiki.[Thinking] who were they?

I remember a man with an H tattooed real large on his face and ten women, was I supposed to help that one woman? I just had to guess

and hope that I did the right thing? Do I even hope? I'm

not sure. oh well.

Hibiki's cell phone rings. He answers phone.

Police man. Never mind.

Police man hangs up phone.

Hibiki.

He didn't say bye.

Police man. Heartless bastard.

Hibiki.[Thinking] Did I say the right thing?

Hibiki continues walking down the side of the road. Then a van stops.

A woman runs out of van.

Woman. Help me!

A man jumps out of the van and chases her.

Man.

The woman runs behind Hibiki.

21

Is that the right thing to do?

Takako.[Confused] yes.

Hibiki.[Thinking] If she comes with me she might kill me in my

sleep. [Says] You're not going to kill me in my sleep are you?

Takako. No, if I wanted to kill you I would have done it already.

Hibiki. Hmm?

Takako sets her hand on the ground.

Takako. Put both your feet on my hand.

Hibiki steps on to Takako's hand, Takako lifts him up over her head.

Hibiki.

I don't have many feelings I’m half emotionless I get scared, angry, all in

all just feeling for myself, Where you from again?

Takako.[Thinking]

I can't tell him, I have to come up with something.

Hibiki. Well.

Takako. I don't know where I'm from, I was an

orphan since I was a baby and I was just going everywhere.

Hibiki.

23

Oh, Where do I take you then?

Takako.[Thinking] That was a close

one. [Says] What do you mean?

Hibiki. You can't stay with me, I want

to do this backpacking thing alone.

Takako. But why?

Hibiki.

I like alone, why would you want to be around someone like me?

Takako.

I don't care that you’re freaky looking, I'm not judgmental.

Sadami. Awaken!

Hibiki's tattoo glows.

Hibiki.

How did you do that?

The tattoo stops glowing.

Sadami. Only works for a few seconds.

Hibiki.

What is this Marked Ones stuff.

Sadami. It means you’re a value and a danger, you and fourteen others. our prophecy says

a long time ago an evil lord with an unknown name created fifteen small jars of tattoo ink. The power will activate when in a human, the ink only works on it’s first use, all it takes is the first drop, to become one of the Marked Ones after the first drop enters the rest of the ink, is plain

ink that's why there is fifteen.

Hibiki. That was pacific.

Sadami.

I don't know how to tell you this Hibiki, but you can't leave

this place for a long time.

Hibiki.[Confused] What, Why?

48

Sadami.

Like I said you’re a danger, what I mean by that is some evil

individual beings want you and the other fourteen, fifteen Marked Ones and if they get you and the fourteen, all

gathered this means they will have all of the fifteen of the inks and they will have the

ultimate power slash weapon to take over the world or do something mad, we need to find all fourteen others

so we can undo all of this.

Hibiki. Am I able to use this power?

Sadami.

No, but we have to keep other hands off of it, that's why you can't leave, but don't

worry you will be treated like royalty here so you should be happy.

Hibiki.

I have this screenplay I need to get to California in

forty eight hours.

Sadami. We will take care of it.

Hibiki.

My three million?

Sadami. You will have it in a few days.

Hibiki. Okay then

Sadami.

Takako, take Hibiki to the top floor.

Takako.

Yes my lady.

Hibiki.

49

What's there?

Sadami. Maids that will wait on you hand and foot and whatever you request, just tell them

you're one of the Marked Ones.

Hibiki. Sounds good.

Sadami calls Aimi on intercom.

Aimi.

Yes my lady.

search for the other fourteen Marked Ones. [Thinking]

around my belly button to make it look like a sun, I did it with a needle and some weird ink I found, It said “tattoo

ink” and some other words in a weird language, I couldn't read it sometime after I did the tattoo it started glowing.

Ikue.[Thinking]

Tattoos are repulsive.

Bishamon takes a tattoo ink jar out of his pocket.

Takako.

To do nothing at all, is to help. Hibiki.

That's shit.

Sadami. Them and the Tsuguo gang and

also a group of fifteen called the Shinobu, are our biggest threat.

what happened, I'm going to need a new office

Hey Takako?

Takako. Hmm?

Hibiki. I never asked about your metal arm and leg.

Takako. since I'm only half

Jurfernic and half human, when I was born my left arm and leg would not grow, so my

baby arm and leg was amputated and I have these fake ones.

Hibiki.

I been meaning to ask, why are all of the Jurfernic beautiful, I have not seen a single ugly or old person?

Takako.

When you're a Jurfernic you're youth never fades and age can not kill you, sadly

age is about to take my mom.

I been meaning to ask you.

Sadami. I'm going now.

Sadami leaves down the elevator.

Hibiki. What?

Takako. Why are human obsessed with looks?

Hibiki.

I don't know, it’s an instinct or something.

Takako.

Wait until Estsuyo finds out you didn't do anything to help her sister.

Hibiki.

I'm a Marked One, what is she going to do?

Takako. Nothing at first, but when we

62

get that power out of you, You had better make peace with god or the gods; which ever.
