01x05 - I've Been Fooling Myself

[bunniefuu]

I was so very happy when you smiled at me, A smile that melted everything away.

Spring is still far away, and within the cold ground, I awaited the time when sprouts would put forth their buds.

Even supposing today there may have been some pain, And though the scars of yesterday remain, You can go on living as much as your heart wants to believe.

You cannot be born again, although You can go on changing yourself, and so Let's stay together, always.

Library Let's see I'm sure it's around here Ah! Here it is! "The Martial Artist: A Fiery Spirit.

" I'll take this one.

My training in the mountains was harsh, but I lived every day to the fullest! I couldn't wait until the next day! Just thinking what I would be taught next, or how strong I could become made me excited! Ah, and then Let's see now This looks good.

"Enjoyable Home Gardening 12 Months" Enjoy four seasons of vegetables.

Sohma-kun, are you adding new vegetables to your base?

Mm-hm.

Strawberries.

Strawberries?

I love strawberries! Mm-hm.

I thought you would like them.

I want to learn more about Sohma-kun and Kyo-kun.

This feeling grows larger and larger, but I'll start slowly, and work my way up steadily from what I already know.

"Cooking: 100 Recipes" "Cooking: 100 Recipes" This looks like it would be a good reference for making supper.

I'd like to check these out, please.

Ah, Honda.

Here you are.

Yes?

There's a phone call for you.

Come to the staff room.

O- okay.

Staff Room Hello?

Ah, Grandpa! I was told the remodeling is finished.

I got a message from my grandfather today And so That's right.

Once the remodeling was finished, you were to return to your grandfather's house, huh?

What's this?

Didn't we tell you, Kyo-kun?

Tell me what, already!?

You see When my mother d*ed, I went to stay with my grandfather, on my father's side.

But then my aunt and her husband also came to live together with my grandfather, and lately, my grandfather has been living with my aunt and her husband.

That is how I came to live here.

But now, the remodeling on my grandfather's house appears to have been completed without incident, and I will be going-- That's not what I was asking Oh, p- pardon me.

Um Kyo-kun was just taken by surprise at this sudden news.

However, his becoming angry at you, Tohru-kun, is what you would call misdirected rage.

Though I do understand why he would miss her.

Why should I!?

Even so, this is indeed sudden.

Luckily, this is a Saturday.

I'm thinking I'll get my packing in order now, and take my leave of you this evening.

There's no particular need to hurry, any time is fine with us.

No, I have to put my things away at the house there and everything.

After all, they say to "strike while the iron is hot.

" So then, I'll go start packing right away.

U- um, thank you for your kindness while I was here.

Ah, sure Don't just "Ah, sure" her.

Couldn't you have said anything a little more tactful than that, Yuki-kun?

I'm not sure if you're just too curt, or too uncultured, but unless you're more amiable, you won't be able to carry on, shall we say, smooth relations with Aren't you going to stop her?

Tohru-kun, I mean.

Why would I?

We said from the beginning that this was only until the remodeling was done, didn't we?

The air is still heavy, considering.

Having her Having others in this house is weird, isn't it?

I had things wrong.

There was no way I could have become family Mother, I really am missing something after all, huh?

Come to think of it, when I was a child, there was a game called "Fruits Basket" that we used to play.

You're an apple.

You're a banana.

You're a mandarin orange.

You're a watermelon.

Cherry.

Asian pear.

Peach Honda, you're an onigiri rice ball! Onigiri?

How delicious! That was probably meant as a slight tease.

Okay, here goes! Apple! However, I didn't realize it.

Now, peach! A fun-looking game was unfolding before my very eyes Orange! I waited earnestly for them to call "onigiri.

" Yes.

Ever since long ago, I haven't thought things through enough.

There is no way an "onigiri" could have joined the group.

Please be sure to eat the pickled fish I left in the refrigerator right away, okay?

Also, the soy sauce is almost empty.

A- and another thing, the day you put out non-burnable garbage has changed, so watch out for that.

What else?

This is the address of my grandfather's house.

If there's anything you can't figure out, please contact me.

Thank you for all the help you've been.

Not at all.

I should be saying that to you.

I will by no means tell anyone about the Sohma's secret, until I'm in my grave! That reminds me, where is that stupid cat?

When it comes to Kyo-kun, he's easy to figure out.

After all, sulking is one way he shows affection.

Good luck in your new house.

Right! That was a pretty nonchalant farewell, huh?

Please heat up what's in the refrigerator.

--T Though nonchalant, it was something that brought about a melancholy feeling.

It's been a while since I've seen you.

You didn't have to rush so.

It would have been fine if you had taken your time.

Hi! Tohru-san, welcome! Starting today, I am in your care.

I wonder if everyone has had their supper.

Say there, have you finished putting your things away?

I'm so sorry! I will finish right away! Yeesh.

And here we've even moved into a larger house.

Why should I still have to share a room with someone?

Tohru-ku~n! What are we having for breakfast?

That's right.

Tohru-kun left, huh?

Sure you're not just saying that on purpose?

O- on purpose?

That would be reprehensible.

Still, with Tohru-kun gone, there's something about the kitchen that feels like a fire has gone out, and it's gotten chilly.

Why, you! You are saying that on purpose! In any case, sad though it may be, people do still get hungry.

Ah, there's some beef stew that Tohru-kun made for us still in the refrigerator, right?

How about you heat that up and we'll have it?

Me?

Ah, right.

You're a bit clumsy, huh Yuki-kun?

Kyo-kun, would you do it?

Why me!?

Fine.

If you don't mind letting the last of the beef stew that Tohru-kun put her heart into making for us get all burnt Well, after all, I suppose that before Tohru-kun came to this house, we often ate the burnt miso soup, burnt rice, and even the burnt eggs that Yuki-kun made for us.

If we just think of it as returning to our previous lifestyles, then there's no reason we can't eat burnt beef stew as well.

You've got absolutely zero sense when it comes to serving food.

If you've got any complaints, do it yourself.

So then, Tohru-kun, I humbly accept.

De~licious! To think that two handsome young men could not g*ng up and keep the girl who could cook stew this delicious from leaving--it's pathetic.

If she can go back to her grandfather's house, then there's no reason for her to be here, right?

Our sorrow will tell us, the more time goes on Tohru-kun's presence still remains here and there about this house, huh?

This strawberry towel, for instance.

It's something Tohru-kun forgot in the washroom.

When I bury my face in it like this what remains of Tohru-kun's scent is-- --Stop that! --You dirty old man! Say, you put these socks in with mine.

Oh, wasn't that right?

I don't usually wear these, do I?

S- sorry about that.

I was so sure What's the use?

It's obvious that Grandpa is the one who wears these, isn't it?

Toh-chan, do you have a moment?

Y- yes! Would you get me out a large plate?

Sure.

The large plates are typically kept here, you know?

A full moon! I wonder if Sohma-kun and Kyo-kun are looking at this same moon.

Good morning! H- hey.

Morning.

Good morning! How is it?

Your grandfather's house?

Right.

Everyone is being kind to me, and things are pleasant.

Really?

That's good.

Yes.

In 1687, the Animal Protection Act was introduced.

The reason to remember this was that it hadn't been done before, even in ancient India.

The Animal Protection Act came up again, in 1770-- That's it.

I can no longer take advantage of Sohma-kun and the others' kindness.

Welcome home.

You could at least say you're home.

I like the Cat from the zodiac! Right straight! Strawberries?

I love strawberries! After my memory gets erased, be my friend again, okay?

I'm home now.

I wonder if you have a moment.

Y- yes?

Tohru-chan, I understand you've been living in a house with men up until now, right?

No way! You were shacked up!?

Nice going! I had a detective agency check up on you.

Yeah?

So they still have detective agencies these days?

--Um, why did you go to all that trouble?

--And here I thought I was the progressive one.

--Our oldest son, you see, has a dream of becoming a policeman.

--This is the worst! As such, there would be a problem if anyone in his family were to have a criminal record, right?

I thought that maybe using a detective agency was overdoing it, but a long time ago, Kyoko-san was quite wild They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, so it made me uneasy.

Now that you're living in this house, be careful not to undertake any more rash actions, okay?

Tohru-chan You didn't do anything indecent with the men in that house, right?

G- Grandpa! Don't you know how to do anything besides ridicule others?

Tohru-san, I apologize.

Please don't think poorly of them.

They're just disagreeable folks by nature.

Just a minute, Grandpa! You can't follow with that! Tohru-san?

Even this family is dear to me, and this is where I live.

Even if they do say a few untoward things, I can tolerate it.

However, there's no reason for you to put up with it to keep living here.

You don't mean?

Ah, it's not like that! I'm not trying to chase you out of here.

It's just that it wasn't like Kyoko-san to put up with anything, and you are her daughter, right?

Kyoko-san would be more vivacious living in a place where she could spread her arms wide.

Katsuya would say so as well.

My father?

So if there's somewhere you'd rather be, you can go.

But, that wouldn't be right! My mother loved me so much, and I have two wonderful friends, named Hana-chan and Uo-chan I have been so blessed Sohma-kun and the others were so nice to me, and now I'm being allowed to live in a house with a roof on it I should be thankful for all of it.

And yet And yet for me to want to go back there To think that leaving Sohma-kun and the others' house would make me this lonesome I wanted to learn more about Sohma-kun and Kyo-kun.

I wanted to eat our meals together, and talk to them about lots of things, much, much more Truthfully, I did not want to leave.

I wanted to stay in that house, with Sohma-kun, Kyo-kun, and Shigure-san.

I wanted to stay.

In that case, Come on back home! So-- Who is this?

Let's go! Kyo-kun, you too?

Uh Kyo They door was unlocked, so we let ourselves in.

Are Honda-san's things upstairs?

Just a moment.

What is this?

What's going on?

We came to pick up Honda-san.

By any chance, are you one of the people from the house in which Tohru-chan was cohabitating?

Don't you call her "Tohru-chan" like you were cozy with her.

You lowlife.

U- um Kyo-kun, what were you doing there?

You're the one that left the address, weren't you?

And what a hard address to find! Thanks to you, I got caught having to walk around here looking for you together with that damned Yuki, you know! This has to be a mistake! Let me have that map! Nuh-uh.

Even as they were quarrelling, they came to pick me up?

W- what are you smiling about!?

R- right, sorry! That's not what I meant It's just Anyways, I don't even know why it is I'm doing this.

Why is it that the moment you left, I had to become all irritable!?

Not knowing the reason just made me more cranky! And, really! If you didn't want to leave, you should have said so from the beginning! How do you know about that?

We heard you, every word.

It's okay to tell people what you want, you know.

If people told you day after day, then you'd lose your head, but in your case It's okay for you to complain, or say what you want once in a while.

It's okay to get discouraged.

?

I was so very happy when you smiled at me,?

W- what's the matter!?

Why are you crying!?

Hey! ?

I was so very happy when you smiled at me,?

I want to go home ?

A smile that melted everything away.

?

I want to go back home, where everyone else is.

?

A smile that melted everything away.

?

I want to go back home, where everyone else is.

Spring is still far away, and within the cold ground,?

?

Spring is still far away, and within the cold ground,?

?

I awaited the time when sprouts would put forth their buds.

?

Okay, then! Let's go on home! ?

I awaited the time when sprouts would put forth their buds.

?

?

Even supposing today there may have been some pain,?

?

And though the scars of yesterday remain,?

?

You can go on living as much as your heart wants to believe.

?

Onigiri! ?

You can go on living as much as your heart wants to believe.

?

?

You can go on living as much as your heart wants to believe.

?

?

You cannot be born again, although?

I'm sure there's nobody else as lucky as I am, Mother.

?

You can go on changing yourself, and so?

?

Let's stay together, always.

?

So then, let's go home! To the house where my new family is! I'm home! Now let us circle together, around a pleasant dinner.

Come, take today's tears, and make them tomorrow's strength.

La, la, la Wonderful love and life La, la, la Adorable love and life La, la, la Wonderful love and life On the next Fruits Basket Episode 6 I wonder if we might have them allow us over.

I'd like to see with my own eyes whether the environment is appropriate for having you stay with them.

That'd be great, Hanajima! Let's go right away! Hold on.

If we suddenly show up, they might not serve tea and snacks.

You're right.

We could be inconveniencing them.

'kay then, we'll be counting on you to put us up tomorrow night.

Okay!
