Tetsu X Rika

translated by Jeanne

page
Rika: panting breaths
F/x Tetsu opening exacto knife blade
Tetsu: Scared?
Say 'Save me'
Voice over: Opening the wound that had healed over
Again and again and...
Tetsu x Rika

page
Tetsu: Say it...
F/X exacto knife cutting skin
Tetsu: 'Save me'
Rika: ...no.
F/X Tetsu slicing blade across

page
Tetsu: Say it... Rika.
'Tetsu, save me'
'Save me' 'Save me'
Rika: ...no...
Absolutely...
no...

page
Rika: If I say it
you'll stop seeing me
I'm not your Mama
Tetsu
Voice over: Opening the wound that had healed over

page
Voiceover: again and again, shoving a finger into it and twisting

page
Voiceover: We fell in love with each other with just one look

page
Tetsu's voice: 'Rika'
'I love the quiet time I spend with you'
F/X guys running down the hall yelling
Tetsu's voice: 'No sex, no rape- I love the quiet time I spend with you'
F/X Rika being chased, panting
Tetsu's voice: 'My Mom, see- she was raped in front of me and then she killed herself'

page
F/X Rika post Tetsu working over
Tetsu's voice: 'Insects come crowding where the nectar is and rape the flower to get it, right...?'
'Mom had *that* inside her too...
Rika
You've got that same dirty sweetness in you as well'
F/X Rika being chased, panting
Tetsu's voice: '*That's* what makes people come after you'

page
Rika's voiceover: I know. You've got it inside you too
Tetsu
I love the quiet time I spend with you
Tetsu's the only one who isn't led astray by *that* thing I have
He sees the me that lies under the muddy swamp of *that*
He's the only one that does

page
Rika's voice: Only Tetsu
F/X Rika post-working over
Rika: Stop looking at me, you insects
Kings: (lewd noises)

page
King 1: Insects?
You got a nerve for a first-year
Anji: Rika!
Rika: But they *are* insects
Anji: Don't try taking on third-year Kings!
Rika: Oh shut up, Anji
Anji: Look, we're too obvious here. Let's go back to the dorm
King 1: Right. Don't fight the Kings
Qs are sex slaves
(That goes for you too, Anji-kun- you're a pair of peaches)
King 2: That's the Salon's rule, and it always applies
King 3: Look at those bruises on Rika-chan!
I'd come three times for a face like that
King 2: I'd come five! (roar of laughter)
F/X wolf whistles
Anji: Let's go, Rika
Hide in my room.
Rika: Why hide?
Kings: Rika-chan! Look at your **clothes**!!

page
Kings: Had a real workout last night? (roar of laughter)
Anji: You have to hide that from Tetsu
Or tonight he'll be sure to...
Rika: Anji
F/X whistles
King voices: Rika-chan, look over here!
Rika: Tetsu's mother
was raped in front of him and then killed herself
She kept on saying Save me Save me. Tetsu says
that's the proof that she fought them to the end

page
Rika: I'm not going to say 'Save me'
I won't figh themt. I don't need anyone to save me
You want to rape me, insects?
You want the honey from the flower? Go ahead--
If you can rape me when I'm for Tetsu's use alone, go ahead
What did you say the Salon's rule was? The president's Q can be raped by insects?

page
Rika: Can insects rule a flower?
You can want, aaasssholes.
Tetsu' voice over: 'Rika
only flowers can rule flowers.
If you want to rule me
say, save me.'
Endou: So the Salon is just a mountain full of monkeys, right?
The Qs do what the Ks want. The Ks do what the As want, because they're stronger.

page
Endou: Anyone who resists get tied up and has someone ride their asses
Tetsu: What're you trying to say?
Endou: Let the guys under you have Rika
Tetsu: Why?
Endou: The Kings want to screw him. The Queens are jealous of him because he monopolizes you
Tetsu: Idiots
Endou: You think so?
It's even affecting the Aces
The librarian and the negotiator both are saying it was a mistake to let him into the Salon

page
Tetsu: Why tell me that now? You're the ones who forced him in, whether he wanted to or not
And didn't tell me about it- right, Mr. Assistant President
Endou: If you'd known you'd have stopped us
I was against it even more than you- Mr. President
Endou: The Aces even had a big welcoming ceremony ready for him
Tetsu: Dumb of them- they must've thought I wouldn't show up

page
Endou: *I* never expected that-
Rika (in flashback): 'Save me'
Tetsu: 'Save me'
Even though he'd held out that far
Rika: 'Save me'
Tetsu: That presses my buttons
Rika: 'Tetsu, save me'

page
Rika: (in flashback) 'Save me'
'Save me'
Mother: (in flashback) 'Save me'
Tetsu: Sorry Mom, I can't save you
Endou: Te--
Tetsu: His ass-
get it up

page
F/X Rika shriek
Ace 1: (laughs)
Ace 2: Go ahead
Endou: Tetsu
Tetsu: Shut up, Endou
Rika: ...Save me
Tetsu: (snicker)
Rika: ...save me... save me...
Save me...
*Save me*

page
Voice: ...Save me... Save me... Save me
F/X Rika gasps
Ace 1: Wow...
What's going on...
Ace 2: He's too rough
Endou: (snorts)
That's why I told you don't do it
You've opened up the Pandora's box
Rika: (gasps)

page
Rika: gasps
...save ...me
Rika: (gasps and grunts)
Tetsu: More.. Rika
Say... it... more
Rika: Save me'
(groan) ...save ...me...
Tetsu: groan
Rika: Save--
Aaahhh....

page
Tetsu: Rika...
Rika...
F/X pants
Tetsu: ...Mom
Mom...
Mom...
Tetsu voiceover: The wound that had healed over
Tetsu: Mom...
Tetsu voiceover: opens up again

page
Tetsu voiceover: Even though I resist it
I have to accept it, that deep compassion
Just like Mom...

page
Endou: You should've gone on playing 'pure love' together
Tetsu: Bet it was great
Sex between me and Rika must have looked wonderful
Endou: It makes me cold
I don't want to see sex between two guys who have *that*
You drooling and hard and coming left right and center
Don't laugh.
Now everyone's pissed off at you. You're forgetting how things stand, Mr. President

page
Endou: You're the leader in this mountain full of monkeys
And you're a sex idol.
Tetsu: 'The breeder'
Endou: Right
The council president, *and* the Breeder
The one who trains the students. The sex idol. The Salon's meat.
A public urinal with a great body. Make the monkeys too jealous and they'll turn you into a woman.
Tetsu: No they won't. Not now and not ever
Besides, I *am* doing the Breeder's work- training Rika every day so he can be like Mom

page
Tetsu: I don't have time to deal with the monkeys
Endou: So you've finally found someone...
You want to be dominated...?
Tetsu: Not dominated. Not wanted
Endou: What do you want?
Tetsu: 'Loving it even while fighting it'
Endou: You'll be sorry

page
F/X pant
Tetsu: Say it
Say it
Say 'save me'
Say it
F/X pants
Rika: I won't
F/X Tetsu puts his foot on Rika's head
Tetsu: Say 'save me'
Rika: Hit me... some more...

page
Rika: What you're seeing now... isn't Mama. It's me
I'm burning...
F/X Tetsu throws Rika against the window

page
F/X Rika slides down dripping blood
Rika: Nh
Tetsu: You're burning...?
Rika: I'm... burning...
Tetsu: I see
You like
pain?
Me, I can't take it

page
F/X pliers pull at Tetsu's fingernail
F/X Tetsu cringes in pain
Tetsu: Uh-uh
Uhh--
OW!!
Shit...
SHIT!!
NNHHH!!!
F/X blood drips
F/X fingernail falls to floor

page
F/X Tetsu grabs Rika's arm as he tries to hit him
Tetsu: Pair (J note- no, don't ask me what that means. I don't know)
Tetsu: Any time
when you say 'save me'...
Rika: I'm burning...

page
Tetsu: .....
I see
Rika voiceover: I want to shine brilliantly, like that hideous bird they talk about-- even if it means my body has to burn
It doesn't matter how many wounds you open up
Just look at *me*

page
Rika: Tetsu
(panting)
...harder
Tetsu: The story of your first rape...
I haven't heard it yet
F/X pants
Rika: ...the winter I was twelve
Tetsu: I've heard about that... when you were twelve, in your family's house...
Rika: Harder...
Tetsu: You think that's what I want to hear you say?
Rika: ...my stepfather...
Tetsu: I've heard that too... Tell me what happened next, Rika...

page
Tetsu: How'd he do it to you?
Tell me... From the front? From behind?
I'll do it to you the same way
Does that hurt?
This is a crime of rape- me raping you

page
Rika: Ng- ngh!
Tetsu: See?
If you don't say 'save me' it'll get worse
'Tetsu, save me'
Rika: Tetsu...
It's OK
Harder...

page
F/X Tetsu throws Rika on the floor
Tetsu: Why won't you say it?
Rika: You're the only one who's seen me
...the me who's dying at the bottom of the swamp of *that*

page
Rika: Here
Look at me again
It's not Mama you're seeing
It's
Me.
Look at me
More and more and more
with that strong and unwavering gaze

page
Rika: Screw me...
Voiceover: We fell in love at first sight

page
Voiceover: In love with who...?
No--

page
Voiceover: In love with *what*? Rika: (sleeping)

page
Tetsu: What's the matter?
Rika: Don't do that
F/X Tetsu puts Rika's hand to his face
Rika: That isn't enough
Going to hit me?
Or cut me?
Rika: Hurry up and rape me

page
F/X Tetsu throws Rika to the floor
Tetsu: (pants)

page
Rika: Tetsu..?
Tetsu!!
F/X door slams
Endou: 'sa matter?
Tetsu: I need your advice

page
Tetsu's diary: Hiro, he looks so much like Mom. Why won't he say 'save me'?
I shake when anyne wants something from me
It's this huge despair
and this terror I can't place

page
Rika: Tell me what Tetsu's weak point is
You're his best friend. You must know
Endou: And what'll you do when you find out?
Rika: Challenge him, of course. So he'll never see anyone but me
Endou: You're a bastard
Rika: 'Hiro'?

page
Endou: Don't look at me that way
It makes me cold
Rika: So it *is* Hiro
Endou: It's pointless
If you don't go cutting each other open, you think you'll stop existing?
You and Tetsu- which of you is the crazier?
You really want Tetsu to be like that?
You should have gone on playing your game of 'pure love'

page
F/X wind blowing
Endou: Even though you were forced into the Salon
Tetsu's voice: Rika
Endou: What'd you say?
Tetsu's voice: When I'm with you those gentle...
Rika: I don't want Tetsu if he's gentle

page
Tetsu's voice: those gentle kisses, that gentle sex, that gentle me
Rika: Who's Hiro?
Tetsu: My sanctuary
Rika: (thinks) As long as this keeps looping back forever
Tetsu: He's just my brother
Rika: (thinks) That's fine
Rika: 'Brother'...? 'My... sanctuary...?'
Rika: You've done it with your brother!

page
Rika: Hit me!
(thinks) Hurry
Look, your orgasm is right here
(thinks) Hurry!
Hit me!
Hurry!
Hit me!

page
Tetsu: It's a letdown, Rika...
Wanting me
Getting hit by me- that satisfies only you
When someone wants something from me
the thing they want from me dries up
I'll never hit you again

page
F/X Rika's glasses fall to the floor
Tetsu: You can stop being my Q now
It must have been hard for you, Rika...
Being afraid, being in pain
If we'd gone on like that you'd have become worse than Hiro
Let me make love to you, gently, for the last time

page
Rika: Why...
(thinks) He's not seeing
Why...
(thinks) He's not seeing anything
Tetsu: I won't hurt you any more
Rika: No...
(thinks) He's not seeing me

page
Rika: No...
Tetsu: Rika...
Rika: (thinks) He's not seeing anything
Tetsu: Rika...
Rika: No...
(thinks) He's not seeing his mother
Tetsu: Rika...
Rika: (thinks) He's not seeing anything
NO---
(thinks) No

page
Rika: Are you looking at *that* that's inside me?
Save me.

page
Rika: Save me Save me
(thinks): It's too late
Save me Save me

page
Voiceover: Open up the wounds that had healed over
Again and again stick your finger in and twist

page
Tetsu: Osukawa Rika has ceased to be my Q as of today
I'm making him the Breeder
For the first time in the history of this school we have another first year acting as Breeder
I think Osukawa-kun will do the job well

page
F/X Rika panting as he runs
(thinks) I understand, Tetsu
why you went so far to make me say 'save me'
why you pushed me so far- played with me so much
hurt me
and stuck your finger in the wound

page
Rika: I understand
It's me you're seeing
Tetsu
I understand...
Do you love me so much, Tetsu...?
