Akane turns to Mr. Hagako, deciding that killing Buru right now isn't worth it. Akane:"Yes, Fuji Hagako-Sama?"
FUJI: (with apparent trouble speaking) Before....I...pass...on, there...is..something important I must teach...you... (BURU and AKANE lean in closer to him) The secret...I've been keeping......is... (he goes limp, and the heart monitor starts screeching and showing that straight line...)
*lol! We have a guest GM!* ...push Akane and Buru aside and try to shock his heart back into beating. After a while, the head of the staff turns away, shutting off the equipment, and turning to the pair. HEAD OF STAFF: I'm very sorry, but we've lost him. (They rush out as quickly as they came.)
Kuno rushes into the room after searching for the room for so long and sees the patient lying in death on the bed. Kuno : how foul a day when I have come to gain such an awesome technique and here lay the master of this technique.... Kuno rushes up to Fuji "WAKE UP THEE!!!!" and pounds on his chest to attempt to revive the dead guy
Akane:"I...I don't care about the stupid ZenZan technique...Poor Mr. Hagako died without knowing his friend forgave him." (Akane is crying silently, tears coming down her face) Akane:"We were so selfish. We should have tried not to get him to teach us the technique, but just to reconcile him and his friend."
Buru: Indeed... a sad moment. Buru pays respects to the newly departed, and departs for the old man's house, to bring him news of his friends' death. -UK
Kuno does his utmost to try and revive Fuji, but to no avail. Buru and Akane pass the others at the hospital entrance and begin their way to the other old man's house... * * * * * RANMA: (running along the fence to the Hospital) This guy's gotta have it! I'm sure of it...and... (stops as he sees Buru and Akane solemnly walking up the far end of the street) Hey, what's she doing with that guy? (hops off the side of the fence, crouching in the bushes to listen as they pass)
Buru (conversation fading in, he is unaware of Ranma): --ane, there's nothing we could have changed, what's done is done, right now all we can do is hope for the best outcome. I understand how you feel, but there's nothing you can do to change the past. Here, you can use my shoulder if you need to cry, there's nothing wrong with doing so.
Ryoga: (Somewhere in koyoto....asks somebody there) hello ummmm do you know the way to Fukkoma Hospital mmm i seem to have lost my way..........(thinks to himself must learn this zen zan technique its my only way to beat that ranma satome........)
Akane, wiping her tears:"Thank you, Buru, it's not as if that idiot Ranma would care. I feel a little better. Still, I wish there was something more we could do. I find it very sad to be delivering this message to Fuji-san's old friend." Continues to walk with Buru, not noticing Ranma.
Buru (putting his arm gently across Akane's shoulders): I'm glad that you're feeling better. I wish there were some way I could dance to raise the dead or turn back time... sadly those Native americans don't want to share anything past those simple 'rain-making' jigs. Still, there's something bothering you beyond all this 'Zenzan' mess, isn't there.
RANMA: (seething and steaming) Why...that...casanova! Who does he think he is, pulling moves on Akane anyway? I don't even think she knows he's doing it!
Akane:"No...I don't think so...Hey, what's that, from back there in the bushes? I heard a lot of noise."
Buru: Let's see.. Buru turns around and looks to the source of the noise. Buru: Judging from the mild lightshow coming from over there, either there's a new dance club in town or someone's really mad. I hope it's the former, angry people can be so difficult sometimes. Buru glides over towards the blue flaming bush when suddenly...
Ken steps out of the hospital, defeated by his own illiteracy, and totally unaware that Señor Fuji is dead. He sees Buru and Akane nearby, thinking that they have learned the technique. He begins to curse under his breath en español
Kuno's voice sharply draws them to the other side. KUNO: Akane Tendo! Do my eyes deceive me, or hast thou abandoned thine vows with the vile Ranma Saotome in order to gallavant around with this... this... whatever 'this' is? (points at Buru) If you are once again 'free', as they would say, be it known that I, Tatewaki Kuno, the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High, would be most open to allowing you to date with me!
Parry! Dodge! Buru (rasing an eyebrow): "Whatever this is"? Have you so little respect for what has just happened that you straightaway start insulting people? Apparantly not, so much for your heroic honorific wasabi pasted butt. A man just died. You began beating on his corpse, you're not worth the time of day. Shall we go Akane? We need to tell someone about his friend's passing. Buru looks over at the bush again, then turns away, noting the stray dog that was looking at fire hydrants now looking at the bush. Buru begins walking again, arms casually hanging to his sides, paying enough attention to know if someone tried to attack him. -UK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thrust!
