01x24 - Let's Go Home

[bunniefuu]

I heard it was su1c1de.

Poor thing.

If only she didn't have a child
with the cat curse.

Shut up.

I haven't seen him cry at all.

He's the reason why she k*lled herself.

Shut up! It's not my fault.

It's not my fault!

You're right.

I know.

Nice to meet you.

My name is Kazuma Soma.

It's not my fault… It's not my fault…

-It's not my--
-It's okay.

Don't worry. I know.

Kyo…

Why don't you come live with me?

I'm glad to see you're doing well, Kazuma.

I hear your work is going well, Shigure.

It's not bad, I suppose.

-Thank you.
-No problem.

Is this the man Kyo told me about before?

Master.

How are you doing? It's been a while.

You're right. It has been a while, Kagura.

Long time… no see…

Master.

You look much taller and grown up.

Yuki.

Tohru.

This is Kazuma Soma.

He's Kyo's master.

He also taught Yuki, Kagura and Haa-kun.

He's a master of martial arts.

Oh, I had no idea.

Is it okay to call you Tohru?

Yes, of course! Nice to meet you.
I'm Tohru Honda!

I've heard a lot about you.

You know of the Zodiac, correct?

Oh, yes.

I see.

Hey, Kyo.

Come out from the corner and say hello.

We haven't seen you
since last year's trip to the mountains.

Aren't you happy to reunite with him?

Um, Kyo?

Which way to Kyo's room?

It's up the stairs and to the right.

-I can show you the way!
-It's okay.

The directions are enough.

-That was… expected of him.
-I know!

What was expected?

Kyo is actually really happy,
but he won't flaunt it in front of us.

Especially in front of Yuki.

Kyo, I'm about to enter.

Sorry about that, Master.

I apologize for my behavior.

It's okay. I know.

Welcome back.

Welcome back, Master!

Thanks.

-So he's not a member of the Zodiac?
-Nope.

But he is a member of the head family.

Before Kyo became cursed by the Cat,

Master's grandfather was the one.

So Master might be the only one
who can truly understand Kyo.

But it seems as if Master really
cares about Kyo more than anything.

It's as if he were Kyo's real father.

His… real father?

So your training is finally over.

Right. Besides, I can't keep my dojo
vacant for any longer.

Then I get to return
to the dojo now, right?

That's what you promised!

You will keep living here.

What? Are you breaking your promise?

Are you afraid of Akito?

No.

It's because this place
is the best environment for you.

Whether living with that girl
was chance or design,

it's going to heal you.

Master!

I don't like it here.

It's boring, and I'm getting soft.

Sometimes…

I just can't stand how it is here.

Getting healed isn't what I'm looking for!

I just hate it!

That's not why.

It's not because you hate it.

Master's staying here tonight, right?

I'm going to stay too!

Why? Go home!

What?!

Where do I put up his bedding?

In Shigure's room?

Let's not do that.

I think Kyo's room would make sense.

-What? Why not here?
-I'm going to go ask!

Hey!

You two must have a lot to catch up on.

No, we don't.

Oh, by the way!

I would love to see you two
have a match, if that's possible.

Master's bedding! Master's bedding!

Tonight…

There may be some noise
after I take it off.

I apologize in advance.

Why did you…

Why did you decide to do this now?

When…

When I saw his face…

I thought he may open up
his heart to that girl.

And she would accept him.

And there is no better time
to evaluate the truth of it than now.

So you are going to entrust that girl
with everything too?

But I know that success is not guaranteed.

Even if she accepts him, there's still
a chance that Kyo might reject her.

This might actually break Kyo.

He will hate you
and never smile at you again.

Are you… still going to take that chance?

Ew, what's this?

What did you do to make this happen?

You're really bad at cooking.

I suppose I need more training.

I still want…

to take that chance with her.

Will you make some time for me tonight?

Sure…

Master…

Do we really have to be outside to talk?

You know how I get in weather like this.

My grandfather was just the same.

He would get sick on a rainy day.

Is it because of the Cat's curse?

Or is it your true self
that mislikes rain?

It's about time you accepted
your true form and moved on.

I do accept it!

I heard that my life was already finished
when I was cursed.

I know it's because…

Because of the Rat!

He's the root cause of all this!

It's all his fault!

He's the one to blame!
I'm going to k*ll him and then myself.

That'd make you happy, right?

You'd be happy if I were dead!

You haven't changed.

Is this how you'll continue
to live your life?

Your ears covered, your eyes shut?

Mask all your problems
with your hate toward Yuki?

Is this the only way for you
to maintain yourself?

And will you live and die like that?

Alone?

Just like my grandfather.

You said you hate it here.

You don't hate it here.
You're just running away.

But you can feel that you're being healed
by the "boring" environment.

But you don't want to reveal the truth…
I mean your true form.

Because you're afraid of losing it.

You're just trying to run away
from the ambiguity of the situation.

-No--
-Well then…

Then I'll take your hand
while you're at it.

Will you lose it, or will you not?

I'll help you find the answer.

Kyo, is your life really finished,

or is it not?

Don't worry.

I love you so much.

I won't let anyone see it.

Please, nobody look at my child.

Don't look.

Please don't.

You're disgusting.

Don't look!

So… is this your true form?

Your body is all twisted and contorted.

And what is this awful smell?

It's like something rotten.

This…

This is the Cat's…

The Cat's real form?

Kyo?

He's disgusting.

She saw me…
She saw me, she saw me!

It's over… It's all over!

I'm…

I'm finished.

That was the other form that Kyo
had been hiding as the Cat-cursed one.

Are you disgusted by him?

Are you afraid of him?

Will you…

heal him?

A smell I've never experienced before.

A creature I've never seen before.

That…

That was Kyo's other form.

What am I supposed to do?

What is happening right now?

What's the right thing to do?

I have no idea.

But…

But!

What's wrong?

Did something happen again?

Kyo.

What did Akito say to you?

Don't you worry…

-You know I…
-Stop.

-I love you.

Stop!

I've had… enough…

Stay away!

What do you think you're doing?

Why did you come after me?

-Kyo…
-I said, stay away!

What's wrong with you?!

Can't you see this?!
Can't you smell this?!

Am I not ugly?! Am I not disgusting?!

Why won't you leave me alone?

I don't want your pity!

So please…

Don't come any closer.

Kyo…

But I…

I love you…

Don't touch me!

Get lost.

I don't want to see you!
Get out of my sight!

I'll rip up your face next!

Get out of here!

If I'm going to lose her…

I'd rather hurt her
more than I ever could,

and ruin everything.

So that she doesn't have any doubt.

And never looks back.

I'll ruin everything.

I've had enough.

Enough of losing and being pitied.

Enough of feeling pathetic and patronized.

They're wrong.

You're a perfect human.

A spell makes you turn into that creature,
but it's only for a little time.

To prove it… look at yourself.

You're back to being you again.

Don't worry.

I'm not afraid of you at all.

You are lying.

You were afraid of me.

That's why you checked to see if I had
the rosary on every hour of the day.

I'm so proud of you, son.

You liar!

You never wanted anyone to see me.

You're too cute for people to see.

You were embarrassed of me!

You know I love you.

I could die for you.

Why did you say all those things?

You didn't accept me for who I was.

Why did you keep telling me you loved me?

Your mother loved you more than anyone.

Stop!

Stop forcing that onto me!

I never asked for it.

I don't want it.

Let's go home.

We have to go home.

We have to!

Because…

I don't think you will
come back on your own.

Ever.

-Stop. Let go of me.
-No!

-Don't you get it?!
-I don't!

Let go of me!

I'm scared.

Right now…

your voice isn't like Kyo's.

You look like something I've never seen.

I'm scared.

But…

But I want to be able to understand you!

Just like…

Like you listened to me
go on about my problems…

I want to be able to
listen to you vent, too.

I want you to…

tell me everything.
What you fear and what you can't stand.

I want to help you deal with these things.

Because I…

I want to continue living with you.

Have meals with you, study with you…

And deal with problems together.

Like so… I want to be able to…

to do all those things with you!

She didn't…

She didn't…

have to love…

everything about me.

If she was afraid of me,

that would have been okay.

That would have meant that
she really saw who I am.

But she…

tried to mask it with her affection.

She didn't want to face it.

I wanted her to face the truth

and deal with it.

I wanted her to want to live with me.

I'm such an idiot.

I thought…

I thought…

No one would ever

want to do that with me.

That's what I thought.

Tohru.

Tohru!

This is how…

This is how you…

take the ugliness inside of me,

the filth inside my head,

and melt them away one by one.

How could someone like you

want to be with me?

Cry for me?

And pray for me?

I don't deserve any of this.

It's wrong for her

to be with me.

But I still want to take care
of her the right way.

I don't want to lose her.

I can't help but want that.
