PROLOGUE:

A SECOND CHANCE

INT. TOKYO-MORNING

(A fourteen year old boy is walking down the street, on his way to school. Headphones strapped over his head and a duffle bag at his side. He has long dark hair and a black eye. His headphones are playing Heavy Metal at the highest volume setting. He is looking down at the ground as he walks forward, not paying attention to the world around him. He doesn’t want to be a part of this world and has therefore escaped into his own fantasy. Earlier that morning he woke up for school, just like any other day.)

INT. THE BOY’S ROOM

(The boy sits up from his bed and shuts off his annoying alarm. He rubs his eyes and then walks out of his room and goes into the bathroom. He eventually finishes getting ready and leaves the bathroom, going to his room to get changed. His little brother, who is 7 years old walks into the bathroom, behind him, still half asleep.)

Little brother: Good morning, Yoshiro!

Yoshiro: Morning, Jiro.

(Yoshiro ruffles Jiro’s hair, as he walks by. Yoshiro walks into his room and gets dressed in his school uniform. He gathers up his text books and puts them into his duffle bag. He hears yelling, outside his room and hurries out to see what could be wrong. Much to his anger he sees his father yelling at his little brother, as usual. His father is holding, his brother’s report card.)

Father: Jiro, you need to get your grades up! You don’t have a single A and most of your grades are D’s and C’s!

Jiro: I’m trying, but I don’t understand it! You won’t help me!

Father: Don’t talk back, Jiro! This is your own fault! Don’t blame others for your shortcomings! Maybe, if you spent less time playing with those stupid dolls and more time studying, you would do better!

(Tears pour out of Jiro’s eyes.)

Father: Knock it off!

(Yoshiro grabs his dad’s shoulder and turns him around.)

Yoshiro: Dad, stop, he’s trying. Maybe, if you’d help him, once in a while…

Father: Was I talking to you, Yoshiro? This conversation had nothing to do with you.

Yoshiro: Dad, you’re making him cry! He’s only seven!

(Suddenly, Yoshiro falls to the ground, feeling the pain of his father’s fist against his eye.)

Father: Get up and get to school, now.

(Jiro tries to hold back his tears, as Yoshiro gets up and, angrily, walks past his father. You’d think he would’ve known better than to talk back to his father, as this was not the first time his father had hit him. But, he cares far too much for his brother and didn’t think about his well-being at the time. As he walks down stairs he sees many empty beer bottles, lying around to his dad’s favorite chair. Tears fill up the bottom of his eyes, but he rubs his eyes and exits his house. He pulls his CD player out of his duffle bag and puts on his headphones. He makes his way down the street, hoping that his brother doesn’t suffer the same punishment he had to endure. Suddenly, on the nearby bridge above him, a group of thugs begin a small gang war.)

Thug: I’ll teach you to mess with me, you son of a bitch!

(The thugs pull out guns and begin firing at one another. They run across the bridge and make their way down to the streets, Yoshiro is walking along. Yoshiro notices none of this, over his headphones. One of the thugs runs up behind Yoshiro, as another thug is chasing after him, firing at him. He quickly dives to the side and a stray bullet pierces the back of Yoshiro’s skull. The bullet passes through the other side and he falls forward, dying. The thugs continue on, as if nothing had happened. Just before blacking out Yoshiro pictures his brother, the one person he had to live for.)

 

Shit is getting real!

even better

 

omg

 

i want more now

CHAPTER 6:

 

Wow, I didn't realize how short of a chapter this is. lol Sorry. I'll post another one, in a little while.

 

 

 

EXT. JIRO’S APARTMENT-MORNING

 

(Yoshiro, in his soul form, walks up to the front doors of the apartment building. He watches as Jiro rushes toward the glass doors, swings them open and runs right through him.)

Jiro: Shit, I am so late!

 

 

 

(Yoshiro bursts into the air, but keeps the fire at a minimum, so that he won’t draw attention. He glides high above, Jiro, watching as he rushes down the street, toting a duffle bag. Jiro finally reaches his destination, Hitotsubashi University. He hurries inside and bursts into his Physics classroom.)

Professor: Jiro, good of you to join us.

 

Jiro: Sorry, professor. I overslept.

 

Professor: I know, Jiro. You sleep in almost every day. Just take your seat, so that we may continue class.

 

 

 

(Jiro takes his seat and pulls out his notebook. Yoshiro phases through the wall and sits down on the table, in front of Jiro.)

Yoshiro: So, you made it to college, huh? Nice job, buddy. You seem to be doing pretty well for yourself.

 

 

 

(Jiro begins to take notes, unable to hear or see Yoshiro. Yoshiro smiles at all of the young adults preparing for their future. Until, a random demon phases through the wall and crashes into Yoshiro, tackling him to the ground. The two stumble through the back wall of the classroom and into the next classroom. This demon’s skin is black with golden stripes. It has a horse face and the body structure of a buff man. It also has one of the gloves that Dave warned Yoshiro about. The demon rears its hand back and then grabs a hold of Yoshiro’s face. Yoshiro’s body ignites on fire, startling the members of the class. The demon lets go of Yoshiro’s burning body. The students leap out of their seats and back away from the mysterious fire in the center of the room.)

Professor: Everyone evacuate the classroom!

 

 

 

(The professor and the students hurry out of the burning classroom. The professor rushes into Jiro’s classroom.)

Professor: Get out of the building, there’s a fire!

 

 

 

(The students hurry out of the classroom. The professor grabs a nearby fire extinguisher and returns to the classroom. Only to find that the classroom is filled with a massive raging fire. The professor begins spraying the fire extinguisher, but the flames are far too big to be put out by a measly fire extinguisher. The professor drops it and hurries out of the building, along with all of the other students. The fire escapes into the hallway, but soon disappears. Yoshiro consumes all of the fire and then lets it all out in one big breath, burning the demon hunter to a crisp. But, the demon hunter flexes and extinguishes the flame. His body heals and Yoshiro rushes through the wall, leading the demon out of the building. The demon chases him, roaring, at his prey. Yoshiro turns around and kicks the demon in the face. The demon grabs Yoshiro’s leg and slams him into the ground. He snaps Yoshiro’s leg and then thrusts his palm into Yoshiro’s face. Yoshiro struggles, but his leg soon recovers and he kicks the demon’s hand out of his face. He gets up and uses his fire to slice the demon’s arm off. He catches the glove and then slams it into the demon’s face, pummeling him into the ground. The demon struggles, but is soon swallowed by the gem on the palm of the glove. Yoshiro yanks the demon’s severed arm out of the glove, causing it to disappear and return to the demon’s body. Yoshiro puts the glove on and admires it.)

Yoshiro: Things just got a lot easier… and a lot more interesting.

;O Awesome as always~

 

Thank you.

Things definitely got more interesting

Things are really getting more interesting! Reading the fight between him and the demon somehow reminded me of the God of War games.

CHAPTER 7:

(Yoshiro turns around and looks at the building. He sees smoke pouring out, as the fire rages on. He rushes over and consumes the flames, saving the school. The students watch in awe, as the fire mysteriously disappears. Yoshiro lies down on the ground, breathing heavily.)

Yoshiro: Dammit, how often is this going to happen? Is this new life even worth living, if I’m just going to live it out in fear?

(Just as Yoshiro begins to relax, one of those gloves is thrust into his face. He struggles and grabs a hold of the demon’s hand. He pulls his hand off of his face and then flings the demon headfirst into the ground. He quickly gets up, stomps on the back of the demon’s head and then thrusts his newly acquired glove against the back of the demon’s head. The glove sucks up the demon and Yoshiro relaxes. But, just as soon as this demon disappears a hoard of them rise from beneath the ground and roar at Yoshiro.)

Yoshiro: You’ve got to be shitting me…

(They each rush at Yoshiro, attempting to overwhelm him. Yoshiro dodges, kicks, punches, and crushes the many demons that rush in to attack him. One rushes in and he elbows it in the face. He grabs that demon and flings him into the next oncoming demon. He kicks the next one in the face, sending him soaring through the air. The next one rushes in and Yoshiro uses his momentum against him, thrusting his palm into the demon’s chin and guiding him over his head and letting the demon glide away. He continues to knock the demons around, until one of them lands a clean cut across his back, using their knife. Yoshiro stumbles forward and the next demon takes advantage of this, kicking him in the face. Yoshiro does a few back-flips, but his knife wound heals in mid-air and he lands on his feet, a bit dazed. Three of the demons rush in and slam their palms against his face, attempting to send him back to Hell. Yoshiro releases a wave of fire from his body, knocking the three demons into the sky.)

Yoshiro: You bastards aren’t taking me back to that place. Not alive, anyway. You’ll have to kill me to take me back. But, as you know, that’s not gonna happen!

(Yoshiro glides toward his predators, with fire bursting from his feet. He does a flip in the air and rams his foot into one of the demon’s head, setting it on fire. Yoshiro thrusts his palm into the demon’s face and sends him back to Hell. He turns around and sees a large group of demons, ready to fight him.)

Yoshiro: F*** you.

(Yoshiro takes to the skies and flees from his many opponents. They leap off the ground and chase their annoyed victim. Nearby, the students and professors deal with their current problem.)

Professors: Alright, class. We’ll pick up where we left off tomorrow. That is, assuming that the classroom will be ready by then. Enjoy the rest of your day.

(The professor walks away. Jiro begins to walk away, when a two male students and a female student hurry over to him. Male student #1 has long black hair and a lip piercing. Male student #2 is bald and has a goatee. The female student has short brown hair, tied into a ponytail.)

Male student #1: Hey, Jiro, want to go grab some lunch?

Jiro: Sure thing.

(The group begins to walk off.)

Female student: What was up with that random fire?

Jiro: Probably just some stupid prank made by some dumb student.

Male student #2: Man, people just don’t think these days. Luckily, it doesn’t look like anyone got hurt.

INT. THAT LOCAL BURGER JOINT (That’s actually what it’s called.)

(The young friends are all sitting inside, eating and laughing.)

Male student #1: Goro, you’re still up for the Dazzle Vision concert, right?

Goro: Hell yeah! What about you guys?

Female student: I’ve never heard of them.

Goro: Seriously? Yuriko, you have got to get out more.

Jiro: I’ve got one of their CD’s. We’ll check it out later, if you want.

Yuriko: Sounds great!

(The kids continue to chat, while Yoshiro falls from the sky and crashes into the ground outside of That Local Burger Joint. But, reality goes on, as nobody sees Yoshiro’s deadly struggle. Yoshiro rolls to the side, dodging one of the demon’s gloves. He rises to his feet and thrusts his glove into the back of the demon’s head, finishing him. Another demon swoops down and tackles Yoshiro, causing them both to soar through the wall of the burger shop. They phase through the building, unnoticed. Yoshiro grabs the demon’s wrist, holding his hand away from his face. Yoshiro hits the ground and does a back-flip rolling the demon off of him. Yoshiro gets up and reacts quickly, giving the demon no time to attack him. Yoshiro thrusts his palm into the demons’ face and lifts him off the ground. The demon disappears and Yoshiro takes to the skies, eventually losing his pursuers.)

Even more interesting~

My body is ready for the next chapter

Damn, if I were Yoshiro, I'd be too tired to continue on with so many demons coming after me with pretty much no breaks! I hope things get better for him

Thanks everyone! lol Yeah, he may be tired, but luckily that healing factor is a big help for him.

CHAPTER 8:

 

 

INT. A RANDOM ALLEYWAY

 

(Yoshiro descends from the sky and rolls into the alleyway. He sits on the ground, breathing heavily. He eventually gets up and steps out of the alleyway. He looks around, searching for any demons that may have caught up. He sees no one and smiles, finally able to relax. He begins strolling through the streets, admiring the city.)

Yoshiro: I really did miss it here. It’s funny how much things have changed. Before, I wanted to die and here I am fighting for my life.

 

(Yoshiro sees Jiro and Yuriko walking down the street.)

Yoshiro: Damn, little bro! She’s quite the catch!

 

(Yoshiro rushes up and follows them down the street.)

Yuriko: How do you think you’re going to do on the Physics Exam?

 

Jiro: I’m not too worried. I’ve been doing pretty well on the homework, so I should be fine.

 

Yuriko: Really? Do you mind helping me out? I had some trouble on Chapter 4.

 

Jiro: Of course. I’d be happy to!

 

Yuriko: Thanks!

 

(Yuriko grabs Jiro’s hand and holds it tight. Jiro scratches the back of his head, with his free hand.)

EXT. JIRO’S APARTMENT

 

(Jiro pulls his key out and unlocks his apartment door. He and Yuriko walk into the apartment and shut the door. Yoshiro phases through the wall and sits down in the nearby chair.)

Yoshiro: Man, I’m bushed!

 

(Jiro pours two drinks and Yuriko sits down on the couch. Jiro walks over and hands her one of the drinks. He sits down and she takes a sip. She sets the drink down on the table.)

Jiro: So, what’d you want to do first? Study or check out Dazzle Vision?

 

Yuriko: How about we do something else?

 

(Yuriko puts her hand behind Jiro’s head and begins making out with him.)

Yoshiro: Okay, things just got awkward.

 

(Yuriko’s shirt is flung at Yoshiro and it phases through him landing on the chair. Yoshiro quickly gets up and rushes out of the room.)

INT. THE STREETS OF TOKYO

 

(Yoshiro is wandering around, with his hands in his pockets.)

Yoshiro: What’s a soul to do for fun around here?

 

(Suddenly, Yoshiro sees a demon down the road. He stops and gets scared. Before he can turn around, he realizes that the demon isn’t after him. Instead, the demon has set his sights on a middle-aged man with gray hair. This man has a gray goatee and appears to be well-fit. His hair is long and unkempt. Yoshiro watches at the man kicks the demon in the stomach and then lands a devastating uppercut to the demon’s chin. The demon falls to the ground and the man thrusts his fist into the demon’s face. This man is wearing one of the soul-capturing gloves that the demons are using to try and capture Yoshiro. The demon disappears and three more rise from the ground. Yoshiro rushes over to help the man.)

Man: You douche bags ought to know by now! There’s no way I’m going back there, you hear me!

 

(Yoshiro slings a ball of fire at one of the demons, surprising the man. Yoshiro leaps on top of the burning demon and sends him back to Hell, using his glove. The mysterious fire startles the random pedestrians.)

Man: Who the f*** are you?!

 

Yoshiro: I’m Yoshiro, you?

 

Man: None of your goddamn business.

 

Yoshiro: I told you my name, so tell me yours.

 

Man: That’s not how this works, jackass.

 

(The man turns around and kicks an incoming demon in the face, knocking him aside. Another demon rushes up and the man punches a hole in the demon’s stomach. He grabs a hold of the demon’s face and sends him back to Hell. Yoshiro leaps over the man and kicks an oncoming demon in the head, smashing his face into the ground. Yoshiro grabs the back of the demon’s head and finishes him. A demon rushes in from behind Yoshiro, but the man jumps in the way and grabs the demon’s face, defeating him.)

Yoshiro: Thanks.

 

Man: Whatever. Just worry about watching your back better, so that I won’t have to.

 

Yoshiro: Deal.

 

(Just then, thirty more demons descend from the skies, surrounding them.)

Seems like Yoshiro's not the only one who escaped! Who could this mysterious old man be? And why is he such a jerk? Can't wait for the next chapter!

This ! and i would like both Ertyx and your posts but im quota ..firetruck....lol

CHAPTER 9:

 

 

Man: There sure are a lot of these motherf*****s out today.

 

Yoshiro: That’s probably my fault.

 

(Two of the demons rush in. Yoshiro and the man each grab one and ram their faces into the street, sending them back to Hell.)

Man: Uggghh, I haven’t seen these things in over a year, and now, because of you, they’re back.

 

Yoshiro: So, you’ve been out of Hell for more than a year, huh?

 

(The demons continue their assault on Yoshiro and the old man. Yoshiro elbows one in the back of the head, sending it crashing to the ground. Then he plants his foot on the back of the demon’s head, pinning him to the ground, while he deals with the others.)

Man: Three years, to be exact and I don’t plan on going back!

 

Yoshiro: I just got out today. I don’t plan on going back, either!

 

(The man chops an incoming demon in the neck, splitting his neck in half. He then grabs his face and sends him back to Hell.)

Man: Dammit, this is a pain in the ass. I’m rusty and sick of this shit. Why couldn’t you have just stayed there, so I wouldn’t have to deal with this shit?

 

Yoshiro: Is that a serious question?

 

Man: I asked it, didn’t I?

 

(A group of demons rush at Yoshiro. Yoshiro sticks out his chest and breathes a large breath of fire, igniting five demons. Yoshiro catches the first demon by his face and then sticks them all with a solid stick of fire. This basically turns them into a demon shiskabob and keeps them all stuck together. He sends the first demon back to Hell and then reels the others in and repeats the process.)

Man: It would seem that the Fire Tear is quite a useful tool for you. Take a look at my arsenal.

 

(The man pulls a small device out of his pocket and presses a button. A scythe flies out of the device and he catches it. He throws the device into his pocket and readies his new weapon.)

Yoshiro: Sweet!

 

Man: I know right!

 

(The man hacks through demon after demon, tossing them aside. He catches one of them and crushes their skull in his hand, before sending them back to Hell. He quickly turns around and stabs an incoming demon and then clutches his face, defeating him. A large red Cyclops rises from the ground. The remaining demons flee, no longer necessary to the battle.)

Man: Hey, buddy! It’s been a while!

 

Cyclops: Shut the f*** up, you little worm!

 

Man: Haha! Is someone mad that I beat his ass last time we fought?

 

(The Cyclops attempts to crush the man beneath his hand, but Yoshiro interferes and breathes a cloud of fire at him, igniting his hand. The Cyclops’ hand stops and the old man stabs his hand with his scythe. The Cyclops yanks his hand away, pulling the old man with him. The man swings up and around, landing on the Cyclops’ hand. He stabs the top of the Cyclops’ hand and runs up his arm. He reaches his head and stabs the Cyclops’ eye. The Cyclops clutches his face, waiting to regenerate. But, the man doesn’t give him any time and places his palm on the Cyclops’ head, sending him back to Hell. The remaining demons glare at the man. The man flips them off and smiles. They fly away, knowing when they’ve been defeated.)

Yoshiro: Dude, that was awesome!

 

(The scythe disappears from the old man’s hand and he starts to walk away.)

Yoshiro: Hey, where are you going?!

 

Man: I’m tired. I’m going home and watching some porn.

 

Yoshiro: What?

 

Man: Hahaha! It’ll be fun, you want to come with?

 

Yoshiro: You’re kidding, right?

 

Man: I never kid around, boy. If it makes you feel better I might not get to see any porn tonight. It doesn’t happen every night. Just like 95% of the time, it does.

 

Yoshiro: What the f*** are you talking about?

 

Man: Whatever, you don’t have to.

 

(The man starts to walk away. Yoshiro follows him.)

Man: You’re a strange guy. You barely know me, but you’ll hang out with me, anyway.

 

Yoshiro: We should stick together. It’ll benefit us both.

 

Man: I’m not so sure about that. I’ve been fine on my own for the last three years and I’m sure I’ll be fine for the rest of eternity.

 

Yoshiro: An eternity alone sounds pretty boring to me.

 

Man: Sounds like life to me.

 

Yoshiro: So, what’s your name?

 

Man: I already told you that it’s none of your goddamn business.

 

Yoshiro: Fine….So, why were you in Hell in the first place?

 

(The man stops and turns around.)

Man: You ask a lot of questions, boy. How about I ask one? Why were you in Hell?

 

Yoshiro: I’m an atheist.

 

Man: Hahaha! That’s it? Alright, I’ll tell you why I went to Hell. Where to begin? Adultery, rape, murder, theft, you name it.

 

(Yoshiro’s eyes widen, as the man turns and walks away.)

;O

who could this man be?

 

interesting twist to the story

 

im ready for the next part C:<

Great twist !! When i get more likes back you know the drill

Great twist !! When i get more likes back you know the drill

 

Same here. lol

O_O well, shit.. Seems like he was definitely more deserving to be in Hell than Yoshiro. But who is this guy?! and how'd he escape!? CAN'T WAIT!!! >_<

CHAPTER 10:

 

 

Yoshiro: Yeah, but that’s all in the past right?

 

Man: …Is it? I could still be the cold-blooded killer that I was when I was alive.

 

Yoshiro: Should that scare me? It’s not like you can kill me. I’m already dead.

 

Man: Heh… that you are.

 

(The man walks away and Yoshiro slowly follows him.)

EXT. THE MAN’S APARTMENT-EVENING

 

(The man and Yoshiro phase through the wall, entering the man’s apartment. The TV can be heard, in the other room. The man takes off his coat and throws it on the ground. He walks into the other room and brings a shirt out for Yoshiro. He tosses the shirt to Yoshiro and Yoshiro catches it.)

Man: Throw this on. I’m tired of seeing your nipples.

 

Yoshiro: How can I hold this shirt? How can I wear it?

 

Man: It’s the soul of a real shirt. Everything in this world has a soul. These gloves can do more than just send souls back to Hell. They can also extract the souls of people and objects. Once the soul of an object has been stolen, it will subtly affect the object. If its food, it might go stale quicker or if it’s a plant it may die sooner. It just depends on the object.

 

 

(The man opens the fridge and pulls the soul out of a beer. Then he walks into the bedroom. He sits down and begins watching TV. Yoshiro walks into the bedroom and sees a young man and a young woman, in bed, getting busy.)

Yoshiro: What the f***?! I thought you said this was your place?

 

Man: It is. But, it’s there’s too. You couldn’t possibly believe that a soul could actually own their own house? I just stay here. Free beers and free porn, mate. This is the life!

 

Yoshiro: So, do you have a fire tear, too?

 

Man: Nah. I escaped on my own. I just got sick of 15 years of that bullshit. So, one day I got up and I beat the shit out of anyone that got in my way. I made my way here and haven’t seen Hell in three years.

 

Yoshiro: I was there for 13 years. How did I not see you there?

 

Man: You were probably in a different sector. There are plenty of bad people out there. There’s no way they could fit them all together in one place. There are more than sixty sectors in Hell, each with tons of souls getting f***ed up for the rest of eternity.

 

Yoshiro: If you’ve been up here for three years, without getting sent back, then you must be one hell of a badass! You’ve got to teach me how to fight back against these guys!

 

Man: I don’t HAVE to do anything. Besides, why do you want my help? You seem to be doing just fine against those idiots.

 

Yoshiro: Yeah, but for how long. There are too many of them and I’m new at this!

 

Man: I had to figure it out, why can’t you?

 

Yoshiro: Because, you of all people should understand how difficult it’ll be to handle this alone!

 

 

(The old man takes a drink and then sighs.)

Man: Fine. I’ll give you some spare weapons and answer any questions you have. But, that’s it.

 

Yoshiro: Alright. What’s your name?

 

Man: …Ronin.

 

Yoshiro: In case you didn’t hear me before, my name’s Yoshiro.

 

 

(Yoshiro puts his hand out to shake Ronin’s hand. Ronin ignores Yoshiro and continues to watch the young couple in bed. He lets out a perverted smile and takes a sip of his beer. Yoshiro rolls his eyes and walks out of the room.)

CHAPTER 11:

 

 

INT. JIRO’S APARTMENT-MORNING

 

(Jiro is sleeping in bed. He is sweating, tossing, and turning. He is having a nightmare. In this nightmare, a nine year old Jiro is walking up to his house after school. He opens the door and walks in. He walks into the living room.)

Jiro: Dad?

 

 

(Jiro sees his dad sitting on the couch. He has a bullet hole in his head and blood running down his head and stained on his shirt. Jiro drops to his knees and pukes on the floor. Tears rush down his cheeks.)

Jiro: Daddy, no!

 

 

(Jiro is tossing and turning in his sleep.)

Jiro: No….dad…please. Don’t leave me alone…

 

 

(Yuriko walks in and places her hand on his shoulder. She gently shakes his shoulder, trying to wake him up.)

Yuriko: Jiro, wake up. We’ve got to get ready for class, or you’ll be late again.

 

 

(Jiro bolts up and looks around, confused. His breathing slows down and he stares at Yuriko.)

Yuriko: Are you okay?

 

Jiro: …Yeah. I just had a nightmare.

 

 

(Jiro pulls the covers off and kisses Yuriko, before heading into the bathroom. He hops in the shower and turns on the water. For a moment he just stands there, staring at the ground. He eventually, snaps back to reality and begins his shower.)

INT. JIRO’S KITCHEN

 

(Jiro steps into the kitchen, drying his hair with a towel. Yuriko is making breakfast. She turns and smiles at Jiro.)

Yuriko: Hey, sleepyhead! I made us eggs and bacon! The toast is almost ready, too.

 

Jiro: Thanks, babe! It’s a good thing I won’t be late again, today. It’s become an everyday thing for me.

 

Yuriko: Well, if I have to, I’ll wake you up on time, every morning!

 

 

(Jiro sits down at the table and sets his towel down.)

Jiro: Don’t worry about it. I’ll make more of an effort to get up on time. It’s not your job to look after me.

 

Yuriko: If you say so. But, until I see that happen I’m gonna help you out, whether you like it or not.

 

 

(Yuriko sets down his plate on the table and kisses his forehead. Jiro takes a bite of the eggs.)

Jiro: Wow, this is amazing! You never told me what an awesome cook you are!

 

Yoshiro: God, you two are gonna make me puke.

 

 

(Yoshiro walks out from the other room.)

Yuriko: Yeah, my mom’s been teaching me since I was little.

 

Jiro: Well, she must be an excellent teacher!

 

Yoshiro: Shit, it’s a good thing I don’t need to get sleep anymore. Otherwise I’d be bushed!

 

INT. HITOTSUBASHI UNIVERSITY

 

 

(Jiro and Yuriko walk up to their classroom and read the sign on the door.)

Jiro: Because of the damage from yesterday’s mysterious fire, all of today’s classes will be held in Building G.

 

Yuriko: Geez, that’s on the other side of the campus!

 

Jiro: Ugh, well we’d better get moving then.

 

 

(Jiro and Yuriko make it to their substitute classroom, just before class begins. Jiro and Yuriko sit down in the two empty seats next to Goro and their other friend. A young man walks up to Jiro.)

Young boy: Hey, do you mind if I sit here? I just started here.

 

 

(Jiro and his friends look up at the dark-haired boy with glasses.)

Jiro: Sure. I’m Jiro Shinto and these are my friends, Yuriko Mayama, Goro Takada, and Honda Makoto. You got a name, new guy?

 

 

(Yoshiro’s fake body smiles at the group of friends.)

Yoshiro: I’m Takao Narikama.

 

 

(Takao sits down next to Jiro. The professor walks into the classroom.)

Professor: Alright class. Let’s begin.
