Unless, of course, Hiko -- annoyed beyond words that his idiot pupil refused
to take the burden from him -- started looking for another student. Of

Dang. You're just going to leave it at that? Really, this is a
crossover I wouldn't mind seeing continued. Still, it's kind of sad
that this crossover manages to stays closer to RK canon than the filler
anime. ;p I realize that, at the time, they had run out of manga to
work with and had to wing it, but *really*. Talk about the invasion of
the Annoying New Characters. :p
