Aragami Page #2

Synopsis: Ancient Japan. Fleeing from enemies, two wounded samurai arrive at a strange old temple in a remote location in the mountains. The doors to the place are opened by a beautiful and exotic woman, who beckons them inside. Unable to walk any further, they collapse from exhaustion. One of the samurai awakens to find himself miraculously healed. He meets his saviour, a mysterious man who tells him that his friend died from his wounds. The samurai is persuaded to stay the night. His host tells him the legend of the "Tengu", a goblin which is said to reside in the mountains dining on the flesh of men. He goes on to reveal the true name of the Tengu : Aragami. When the samurai asks if Aragami poses a threat to the temple, his host answers : "I am Aragami". The only way for the Samurai to leave the temple is to destroy Aragami.

...otherwise you were dead by now.

You bastard!

I understand how you feel.

How about another drink first.

What are you?

Hey, hey, hey!

Will you look at this sword!

Its about ready to snap.

This looks like

it could be fun.

The nights still young.

Lets take our time.

Shut up!

Huh?

You go too far!

Stop looking like youre dying.

Its just a scratch.

Hey... hey.

Give it a rest.

See?

But you arent immortal,

you know.

The head...

...or the heart kills you.

Anyway, lets have

another drink.

Now, this liquor

is from a land called Russia.

They call it vodka.

Its pretty strong.

Its from corn.

Anyway, have a drink.

Do you think Im giong to

just sit and drink?!

How come Im not dead?!

I told you. You ate the liver...

So you just eat someones liver

and you dont die?

Dont be silly.

Look.

...no two cooks make the same thing

the same way.

This woman is a good cook.

An excellent one.

So.

Are you a demon,too?

Its been said that women

are devils, hasnt it?

Shes more a devil than I am.

While youre at it...

...could you kill her, too?

Hey!

Whats in that?!

I said it was strong.

What do you want?

Why are you doing this to me?!

How many times do I have to tell you?

I want to die.

Fighting is the only reason to live.

Ive always hoped Id meet

someone stronger...

...but Im tired

This body of mine

will never get any older.

Im not able to die naturally

Why not cut your stomach open,then?

Dont ask me to kill you!

Hara-kiri?

Thats something mortals do

from excessive self-respect...

...and stupid pride.

I am without fault.

Why would I do that?

Besides. I am Aragami,

the Raging God of Battle.

I was born to die in battle.

And i cant be cut down

by some backwoods samurai.

No.

I will die when I encounter the one.

Sophistry.

Nothing you say

makes any sense at all!

Its absurd!

Then let me ask you...

...do mortals make sense?

Shabby politicians start wars where

you kill each other by the thousand.

Isnt that the reason youre here,

and your friend is dead?

Isnt that absurd?

Listen...

...the existence of this world

is absurd.

All right, then.

...why did you kill him

and choose me?

You were both half-dead.

I could only save one.

But why me and not him?

No reason. I just chose you,

thats all.

Would you rather youd died

and been eaten instead?

And look, I didnt kill him.

I gave you the chance to survive.

I could have let you both die.

But, now you have the chance to live.

Theres a big difference.

Consider yourself lucky

you have the chance.

Make the best of it.

Who do you think you are?!

You bring people here to split hairs,

and then kill them.

What chance have I got?
