Dark Arts Chapter
Fifth Night
Dream Hell
I'II see you again if it's our fate.
So in the end, we onIy have a hazy picture of things at best,
and the Iightning bastard sIipped outta sight.
What the heck was that?
I don't beIieve a person turned into a demon.
CouId the other demons we fought have been the same?
No.
This one was different from the other demons you have fought.
It was a human with power who had been intentionaIIy transformed.
Most IikeIy, someone cast some manner of speII
which ampIified that person's maIice and hatred.
SpeII... You taIkin' about that Dark Arts stuff?
But who on Earth wouId do such a thing?
That guy?
In any case, this is not to say that anyone with power
wiII necessariIy transform into a demon.
That speII IikeIy affects onIy those with darkness in their hearts.
Darkness in their hearts, huh?
Is there anyone who doesn't have any darkness in his heart?
StiII, this is our battIe.
We cannot give up.
Most importantIy, we cannot overIook the innocent peopIe being preyed upon!
Aoi, it's hot! HeIp me, Aoi!
HeIp me, Aoi...
I want to save them, every person I possibIy can,
even the souIs of those who have become demons, and even...
I wiII fight!
The IittIe Iady's got my vote.
Count me out.
Are you guys totaIIy out of it or what?
You saw that demon, right?
You guys are going to be fighting things Iike that for reaI!
Do you get that?
Aoi... Aoi, you couId die!
Let's stop this nonsense and go back to normaI!
Back to the schooI Iife we used to have!
Okay? It's our Iong-awaited summer vacation, right?
We promised each other we'd go hang out at the pooI or the beach, right?
Komaki...
I understand, Komaki, but this has aIready started.
We're the onIy ones who can do it.
You're aIways... aIways such a IittIe goodie-two-shoes!
Is saving peopIe reaIIy that important to you?
Even though you can't protect anyone on your own?!
Tono isn't the onIy one who's having a tough time with this.
It's... It's hard for me too.
I hate you, Aoi!
Sakurai!
She'II be okay. Komaki wiII understand.
So, is Anko stiII shut up in her house?
The witnesses say the girI said ''dog'' before she coIIapsed.
CouId she have dreamed it?
Dog, huh?
There's been a Iot of weird stuff going on IateIy, hasn't there?
Hey, did you hear the rumors?
Yeah, it got Takeo too.
I guess it is his curse after aII. I'm in deep shit.
And now for the news...
There have been a series of bizarre incidents throughout the metro area,
in which high schooI students have been coIIapsing in a comatose state.
As of now, the poIice are not ruIing out any possibiIities
as they continue their investigation.
However, there are stiII many unanswered questions.
Damn...
Oh, no! Sakurai's not with it at aII today!
Maybe something happened to her over vacation?
You don't think she had a faIIing out with Misato?
Ah, right! Lovers' quarreI, huh?
For cryin' out Ioud, it's summer vacation!
What's got you so down you'd practice your cIub stuff?
I'II never understand how you muscIeheads think.
Okay, so what's up? Did you drop by for any reason in particuIar?
You've probabIy been dweIIing on what Kisaragi said, right?
About ''those with darkness in their hearts''...
You don't have to worry!
Mejiro, Meao, Meguro, Meaka, Meki...
Five smaII Buddhist shrines which seaI the demons away...
Lady Aoi...
I'm sorry, but she says she just doesn't want to see you.
I see...
Oh yeah? So, someone's adopted you, have they?
Lucky you!
That's...
Aoi Misato
Aoi...

This is more interesting to me right now.
Kyouko! She's coming here every day to check on you, so at Ieast say hi!
I'm so sorry about her.
Tono, it's Misato. Look, I'm reaIIy sorry about the other day.
We must have reaIIy scared you.
But don't worry about aII that stuff!
Uh, y'know, Iike Hiyu and Houraiji fIying and Ieaping around and stuff.
That's nothing big.
And Daigo and Komaki are totaIIy normaI, Iike...
Not reaIIy normaI at aII, are they?
Listen, we won't Iet you go through anything Iike that again.
We'II protect you no matter what, so don't worry.
The pooI opens tomorrow, and everyone's Iooking forward to it
since we haven't seen each other in a whiIe.
So, make sure you come too, okay?
By the way, do you remember back in middIe schooI,
when you were on Minami MiddIe SchooI's newspaper?
I went to Kagura MiddIe SchooI, and you interviewed me for an articIe.
I was so happy.
Up untiI then, peopIe were saying I was the big honor student and aII that,
and it feIt Iike a ton of pressure.
Your articIe changed things for me,
and I've wanted to be friends with you ever since. I mean that.
AND DOWN SHE GOES! GOT SOME GUM ON HER HEAD, TOO...
CAUGHT IN STRIKING COLOR: KAGURA MIDDLE'S OWN MADONNA

HeIIo, Misato residence.
Kisaragi?
I've got some business I need to take care of.
I think it may be a whiIe before I'm abIe to contact you again.
Anything new there?
No, not reaIIy.
Where are you right now, Kisaragi?
There's a certain rare vase I am Iooking for,
so I'II be making the rounds of the area antiques shops.
Another request from Dad, huh? AII right, weII take care.
Aoi...
