The cross that never goes away
(page) Araki: Hisa...ko...
(page) Ryuuji: Your wife
Ryuuji: This is where she died...?
Araki: It's not safe there... Come here- quick--
Ryuuji: You thought I'd jump?
Araki: What're you saying??! I told you not to go on the balcony!
(page) Ryuuji: You were wrong, Araki-san. You were wrong to do it
Araki: What--?
Ryuuji: You sacrificed your wife to the Kazamas, but what did it get you?
Ryuuji: It's not right! It's not right at all! Clinging to your 'obligation' to go on looking after me!
Ryuuji: You think that will make your wife rest in peace?!
Araki: What did Hibiki tell you...?
Araki: My wife's death had nothing to do with you! You've nothing to blame yourself for.
Ryuuji: Yes I do! You blame yourself too!
(page) Ryuuji: When she died, you blamed yourself, right? For getting involved with me? For not breaking completely with the Kazamas?
Araki: No-
Ryuuji: Liar!
Araki: No!!
Ryuuji: The kinder you are to me, the more you betray her!
Ryuuji: You're only doing for me what you wanted to do for her. And when you do that--
Ryuuji: Why do you care about me so much? You should just forget your duty to the Kazamas!
Ryuuji: Just forget about me!!
Araki: It's not just duty
(page) Araki: The organization's gone. It's not duty that keeps me with you.
Araki: The fact that you're alive is what keeps me living. I need you.
Araki: And because I couldn't be with you up until now, I'm staying all the closer to you
Araki: I'm going to protect you from everything that threatens you.
Araki: When I met you again, I realized how important you are to me
Araki: If I lost you, I'd lose the thing that keeps me alive
(page) Araki: So I'd ask you- please don't say such sad things to me
Ryuuji: You're doing all this for me and I can't give you anything back!
Araki: It's OK.
Ryuuji: What do you want from me?
Araki: Nothing. And if there was...
Araki: It would be that you stay and be happy with me. That's what would make me happiest
Ryuuji: How can you--
Araki: You should forgive yourself too. Stop taking on other people's guilt
Ryuuji: I can't!
Araki grabs Ryuuji
(page) and kisses him
(page) Araki: I have my own guilt hidden inside me. I swore to love my wife as long as she lived
Araki: But I was always focussed on you. For a longer time than I'd known her even...
Araki: If what I feel is love, then I betrayed my wife from the very start
Araki: So it's not your fault. It's mine.
(page) Araki: I'm sorry I did that without warning
Araki: I'm going out for a bit to calm down. I'll be back... soon..
F/X door closing
F/X Ryuuji collapsing
(page) (Hibiki's office)F/X knock knock
Araki: Come in
Hibiki: You sent for me?
Araki: What did you tell him
Araki: Hibiki?
(page) Hibiki: 'Him'? Now what can you mean?
Araki: Cut it out. I asked you to teach him. I didn't send you there to go telling him things he doesn't need to know.
Araki: Don't start putting ideas into his head and getting him worked up
Hibiki: If he's so important to you maybe you should put him in a box and keep him there?
Araki: What?
Hibiki: Keep him chained up and give him food, and watch him wag his tail...
Araki: Are you being funny?
Hibiki: I'd say he needs a stick taken to him, myself.
Hibiki: All you've done is overfeed him with treats
(page) Araki: Hibiki! (grabs arm)
Araki: Are you trying to destroy all the trust you've built up for yourself with me?
F/X: grips arm
Hibiki: -nh
Hibiki: Y-you don't know-- just how much you dominate people
Hibiki: Rule him as you rule me- that's fine. That's the way you've always been
Hibiki: But to me it looks like you want him to rule you
Hibiki: Why?? Why are you throwing your pride away for one measly boy?
Hibiki: You should be proud- independent--
(page) Araki: That's what you really think...?
Araki: Enough. Go. I won't be asking you to help him after today.
Araki: I've never once wanted to dominate anyone. If you think I do it to you
Araki: It's because you want to think that way
Araki: I'm not here to embody your ideals. If you've any objections to that, I don't mind if you quit now-
Hibiki: No!!
Hibiki: There's no-one but you-
Hibiki: There's no-one else I want to serve but you-
(page) Araki: Do as you please. But if you ever do anything to hurt him again
Araki: there won't be any second chances for you
Hibiki: I... understand. I beg your pardon.
Hibiki: Drawing me towards him while pushing me away. Forcing me down with his irresistible power and putting me in awe of him
Hibiki: If that isn't domination, what is it?!
Hibiki: He has no equal. And for him to be dominated by a boy like that...

Iba: Kizaki, is it? So you ran away from them and here you are. What's the big idea?
Kizaki: It's all over, Iba-san
Iba: What?
Kizaki: Taking that guy on in order to get Kazama nearly cost me my neck
Kizaki: You want that monster killed, go and do it yourself
Kizaki: Then I'll get Kazama for you--
F/X kick
F/X Kizaki falls
Iba: Who the hell d'you think you're talking to, asshole!
(page) Iba: Kizaki, you make me sick! Get this fucking idiot out of here
F/X door opening a sunderling enters
Kizaki: Iba-san, let me just tell you this
Kizaki: Get involved with Kazama and the Dragon will take you out, no two ways about it.
Kizaki: You, and your men--
Underling: Get moving
Iba: Shit
Iba: The damned idiots around here
Iba: all they ever do is yammer stuff I don't need to hear
(page) Voice: That low-level hood- he can't get near the Dragon
Iba: Hi- Hibiki...?
Iba: Now what do you want?
Hibiki: I came to ask you for something
F/X door closing
Iba: You...?
Hibiki: Will you give it to me? You promised you'd help me
F/X ga- Hibiki grabs Iba's head
F/X dan - and pushes him onto his back
(page) Hibiki: But you never said you'd do it for free. Shall I give you a reward?
Iba: Hibiki--
Hibiki: Nii-san. Kazama Ryuuji. Get rid of him.
Iba: What...?
Hibiki: Turn him into the most horrible corpse there can be
F/X gu- as Hibiki grabs Iba's crotch
Hibiki: Cut it out, Hibiki! What're you--
Hibiki: It's OK, nii-san. I'll make you feel good
Hibiki: I know all the places you like it
Iba: Stop it, you pervert! (as Hibiki pulls Iba's pants off)
(page) Iba: Anh--! (as Hibiki enters)
Hibiki: My cock--
Iba: Ow! Stop moving!!
Hibiki: You really like it, yes, nii-san?
Matsuzaki: (outside door)Iba-san
F/X: knocking at the door
Matsuzaki: What's happening, Iba-san?
F/X: knocking
(page) Hibiki: Wanna show them? Let them see you looking so happy and I'll get even more turned on
F/x Hibiki licks his lips
Matsuzaki: Iba-sa--
Iba: It's nothing! Go away, Matsuzaki!
Hibiki: You really want to be alone with me?
Hibiki: I'm so happy
Iba: Nnh--
F/X: fierce thrusting
(page) Hibiki: It's so nice. I haven't been inside you for so long
F/X: Iba shaking
Hibiki: You're so hot... I'm melting...
F/X: pants and gasps
Iba: It's true.. he's always been like this. He always gets his way no matter what it takes
Iba: His eyes are as cold as ice. When they look at me I get so frozen I can't breathe
(page) Iba: I've always been afraid of Hibiki's eyes
(flashback) Young Iba laughs, playing with his dog
Shrieks
Servant's voice: Botchama! Something terrible's happened! Satomi Botchama!
Iba finds his dog hanging dead from a tree
Young Hibiki: Too bad, nii-san
(page) Young Hibiki: He was such a nice dog
F/X: Iba's eyes widen in shock
Iba (present day) I knew right away that Hibiki had killed him
Iba: I did my best to ignore him and have nothing to do with him. But all that did was make him angrier
Iba: He'd do anything to get what he wanted
Flashback to Iba being gangraped
Teenaged Iba: No! Let me go! Don't touch me!
T.I: Hibiki! Help me!
Teenaged Hibiki: (smiling as he watches) It's his first time. Do it as much as you like
T.I.: Hibiki!
(page) T.H.: It's your fault, nii-san
F/X: Iba chokes as he swallows some guy's cock
T.H.: You go and ignore me
T.H.: And this is what you get for it
Later, Hibiki comes over to naked and bleeding Iba
T.H.: Poor guy. His first time, and it's rape
T.H.: Poor nii-san
T.H.: It's OK. I'm here
T.H.: I'll make all those dirty places clean
(page) T.H.: I won't allow you to forget that you're mine, nii-san. Alright?
Iba: I thought I'd finally gotten free of Hibiki, but since that time--
Iba: Nothing's changed at all. Those icy eyes of his overwhelm me like they always did. Like putting a leash on a dog that's gone wild and bringing him home
Hibiki: So you'll help me, yes, nii-san? You'll destroy Kazama Ryuuji.
F/X: pant pant
(page) Hibiki: With that kid gone, he'll fall too
Hibiki: He's changed because of that kid
Hibiki: I won't let it happen. Not *that*. I won't let it.
