TITLE: GLASS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCENE 1:
FADE IN
EXT. NIGHT, NINGENKAI---JAPAN, TOKYO
BOTAN, an attractive blue-haired Reikai Guide, is seated on her flying oar. She zips past the streets of a busy Tokyo unseen, her eyelids drooping as she struggles to stay awake. Stars light up the night sky, further brightened by the street lamps.
CLOSE ON BOTAN & OAR
BOTAN: (to herself) As soon as I return to Reikai, the first thing I'm going to do is to take a nice, soothing bath that will last as long as I want it, and after that, sleep. In fact, I think I'll sleep the next hundred years away...(she stretches and yawns, almost tumbling off her oar in the process.)
ANOTHER ANGLE ON BOTAN'S FACE
BOTAN: (Blushing furiously as she grips the handle of the oar tightly) I'm more exhausted than I thought. (shakes her head to clear drowsiness / to make her point)
HINAGESHI, her junior, slowly descends from the sky to join her.
HINAGESHI: (Breathlessly) Botan-san! Finally caught up with you! You were going far too fast!
Botan smiles tiredly
BOTAN: I was? I didn't really notice my speed, and besides, I'm too tired. The awakening of the Red Dragon King isn't all fun...
FAVOUR HINAGESHI
HINAGESHI: (Surprised) But no one said it was!
RETURN TO BOTAN
BOTAN: (wistfully) That's what I'm afraid of. And this is just the initial awakening. The next time he awakens, more people will die.
WIDE ANGLE SHOT OF THE DUO
HINAGESHI: Why?
BOTAN: (looks at the distant stars) Destiny. The second awakening of the Red Dragon King will spell even greater trouble for humanity. The awakening of any Dragon King rarely brings anything but trouble to the Ningenkai, and yet, it is necessary.
Hinageshi's oar screeches to a dead halt.
HINAGESHI: (Wide-eyed) Necessary?!
BOTAN: (Nods her head) Koenma-sama will not stop them from awakening, and no one else could or should. Why do you think he sent Yuusuke and the others to China? It's not a free holiday, mind you.
HINAGESHI: China?! But why?!
BOTAN: If Yuusuke and the rest remain here, they are either in danger of losing their lives, or threatening the awakening of the Dragon Kings. Either way, lives will be lost, but by isolating both parties from each other, we save more lives and less conflict.
HINAGESHI: Koenma-sama's going to allow innocent humans to die then?
FAVOUR BOTAN
BOTAN: He doesn't have a choice, Hinageshi (her pink eyes are sad as she tilts her head to look at Hinageshi) The Book doesn't leave us with any other option...and like I said earlier, this is the only way where least lives will be lost.
ANGLE ON HINAGESHI
Hinageshi drifts on her oar over the same spot as she watches her senior leave.

SCENE 2:
INT. NINGENKAI, JAPAN, TOKYO, RYUDO RESIDENCE---MORNING
RYUDO TSUZUKU, a beautiful young man, is asleep on the bed. The household is quiet. A breeze enters the room, blowing the curtains slightly. He buries himself further into the blanket.
CLOSE ON TSUZUKU
He stirs on the bed, turning to his side as the morning sun shines on him. Groaning sleepily, he opens his eyes, using his arm as a shield against the more powerful rays. He sits up on his bed, rubbing his eyes groggily as he yawns.
SIDE VIEW OF TSUZUKU'S FACE
VOICEOVER(guess who?): Ryudo Tsuzuku, the second son of the Ryudo family. A bishounen and the Prince Charming of his school. Receives bouquets of roses daily as a show of his beauty, usually from girls. However, no one has ever mistaken him for a girl unless he dresses up as one.
Tsuzuku sneezes as he rises out of bed. He stares out of the window and wonders at the omen foretold by the sneeze.
TSUZUKU: (Quietly to himself) I wonder...
Voiceover cries to stop herself from screaming at him.
He steps to the window and looks out. Sees his brothers, RYUDO OWARU and RYUDO AMARU in the backyard. Owaru looks up at his elder brother.
WIDE ANGLE SHOT OF AMARU & OWARU
OWARU &
AMARU: (Shouting) Ohayo!
RETURN TO TSUZUKU
TSUZUKU: Ohayo! What are the two of you doing up so early?
CLOSE IN ON AMARU
AMARU: (blinking innocently) Breakfast?
VOICEOVER: Ryudo Amaru, youngest of the Ryudo kyodai. Sweet-looking and predicted to be as heartbreakingly beautiful as the two eldest brothers of the Ryudo kyodai in the distant future.
Amaru sneezes as well. Owaru & Tsuzuku share worried glances.
TIGHT ON TSUZUKU
TSUZUKU: Daijoubu ka? (He leans out of the window, dangerously close from toppling off the window ledge.)
DOLLY TO AMARU
AMARU: (smilingly) Daijoubu.
WIDE ANGLE SHOT OF TSUZUKU
He smiles back subconsciously.
TSUZUKU: Where's Eldest Brother?
ANGLE SHOT OF AMARU & OWARU
They look at each other and shrug their shoulders.
CLOSE ON OWARU
OWARU: Don't know. He left early this morning, before we even had the chance to greet him. (Grins widely)
VOICEOVER: Ryudo Owaru, third brother of the Ryudo kyodai. Hyper in nature, loves sports. Cheerful most of the time, has a black hole for a stomach. Closest to Amaru and charming in his own way.
For some reason or the other, Owaru does not sneeze. Sensing nothing amiss, he continues to grill breakfast.
Voiceover sweat drops.

SCENE 3:
INT. REIKAI, KOENMA-SAMA'S OFFICE
OVERVIEW OF REIKAI.
The fires of hell burn bright, the orange-red lava spurting, almost striking Botan as she whizzed over the lava pits. She mumbles something inaudible under her breath as she halts outside KOENMA's office.
OVERVIEW OF KOENMA-SAMA'S OFFICE
The usual stacks of papers are there, at level with the ceiling. Botan sweat drops, wondering whether she should announce her presence or wait for Koenma to notice her.
CLOSE ON KOENMA
The Reikai Lord is in his teenage form, hunched over another document in an unhealthy posture. Botan steps off her oar daintily, drawing unseen symbols in the air. The oar disappears just as Koenma looks up.
ANGLE ON KOENMA'S FACE
VOICEOVER: Koenma-sama, Lord of Reikai. Currently in his adult form. Considered a bishounen by many, though he seldom appeared in his teenage form until recent date. Perpetually sucks on a blue pacifier.
KOENMA: Ah! Botan, good, you're here.
WIDE ANGLE SHOT OF THE TWO
BOTAN: Koenma-sama, you summoned me?
KOENMA: I did...now, if only I can remember what I summoned you for...
FAVOUR BOTAN
SD Botan sweat-drops.
Koenma snaps his fingers suddenly, startling Botan. She jumps back slightly as Koenma levels her a look.
ANOTHER ANGLE ON KOENMA
KOENMA: I remember now. (Looks at Botan with grave eyes) You're due for leave tomorrow.
DOLLY TO BOTAN
She stares at her boss with disbelieving eyes.
BOTAN: Is...is that all? (To herself) I am? I don't remember that. On the other hand, better not mention anything. For all I know, he might just cancel my holiday in favour of something else, and we're short of Reikai Guides as it is. I just hope that the Red Dragon King doesn't awaken until after my break.
WIDE SHOT
KOENMA: (Frowns) I think so. Any plans?
BOTAN: (Distractedly) None, actually, but I think I'll do some shopping, since Yuusuke and the rest are in China.
KOENMA: You could always visit them there. After all, your break lasts about a month or so, and besides, you deserve it.
BOTAN: (Shaking her head) Can't. What if the Red Dragon King awakens while I'm gone? Reikai will be short of another Reikai Guide, and how are the souls reaching here without one? I have to be here until the worst is over.
KOENMA: Hinageshi can take your place.
BOTAN: Even with the rest of the trainees, there isn't enough Reikai Guides to lead the souls to Reikai in time. I'll remain in Japan as long as it takes. We've been waiting for this date for a long time...
KOENMA: (Sighing) True, true. Take the rest of the day off and pack your things. I don't want to see you back here until a month is over. Is that clear? (stares sternly at Botan)
CLOSE UP OF BOTAN'S FACE
BOTAN: (Eyes twinkling in amusement) Hai, Koenma-sama.
She summons her oar and zips off back to her suite. Koenma watches her leave for a moment before returning to his papers. GEORGE rushes into the office with another stack of papers.
CLOSE ON GEORGE & PAPERS
GEORGE: Koenma-sama ~! You have to sign this *now*!
ANGLE ON KOENMA'S FACE
KOENMA: (He is on the verge of wailing) And I thought I was done for today ~! It's not fair ~!
