01x25 - Summer Will Be Here Soon

[bunniefuu]

Why did he want to take me in?

Was it from pity or by order?

I couldn't figure it out.

I actually teach karate.

You should give it a sh*t,
if you're interested.

So Kazuma really did take him in.

I get that his father isn't able to,
but I feel bad for Kazuma.

I know, getting stuck with that boy…

Your goal is to aim
for somewhere much higher.

You understand?

I didn't understand.

But he showed me the outside world
for the first time in my life.

He took my hand,

and he stayed by me.

So… you're a master, right?

What?

I saw on TV that karate teachers are
called masters.

So you're a master!

You might be right,

but none of my students call me that.

You two have gotten much better.

-Really?
-Master…

Welcome home, Kyo.

I wish Master was my real father.

I wonder how Master would react
if I told him that?

He probably raised me
out of pity or sympathy.

His father will be here soon.

I understand
he's not your biological father.

But I wonder what he did
to raise you like that.

He took in a child cursed by the Cat.

There might be something wrong
with Kazuma too.

You're wrong!

Master isn't my father!

What more could I want?

I don't want to be a problem anymore.

Don't ever treat us
like father and son again!

If I end up hurting him too,

then I don't want him to be my father.

Hey, good morning.

Where's Master?

-He went home.
-What?

Tohru took him.

What the… hell.

Why would he leave
without saying anything?

I haven't gotten to thanking him yet!

I'll be okay from here on.

Thank you.

Um… I think you should say goodbye to Kyo.

I'm just lost…

The reason why I took him in…

First, it was an atonement
for what I had done.

My grandfather was cursed by the Cat,
just like Kyo.

His family and relatives
slandered and isolated him.

He was treated very poorly.

And I was no different from those people.

I've only interacted with him
just the one time.

Hello there.

Come over here, Kazuma.

I've got a treat for you.

No thanks.

I don't want to get cursed.

I understand.

I was cruel to him.

But he laughed and forgave me.

He was a kind man.

I got older,

and saw from others' point of view
the environment that surrounded Kyo.

That's when I realized the truth.

How pathetic and cruel we were.

I think I was trying to cope with my guilt
by taking in Kyo.

However…

My love for him started to grow.

It was as if…

I had become his real father.

I took away his rosary against his will.

I forced my wish onto him.

Master isn't my father!

So… I'm just lost.

I don't know how
I'm supposed to approach him.

I can't act as if nothing went wrong
after I forced my will upon him.

Besides, it was just a trigger I pulled.

You're the one who actually saved him.

Thanks to you, Kyo is…

Master.

Was it… really your will?

Because I…

I don't know why, but…

I feel very warm on the inside.

I don't know how you would take this, but…

Right now, in my eyes…

You look…

You look like a great father!

Master!

Kyo!

-Kyo-
-Why…

Why would you leave like this?!

Why are you like this?!

Are you running away?!

Kyo!

Did you…

Did you think I'd be mad?

Or are you fed up with me?

I know I've caused you trouble.

I'm sorry.

I wanted too much when I asked you
to take me back at the dojo.

By using you as my crutch.

I'm sorry.

I know I've got a long way to go.

I've got a lot to learn.

But someday…

Someday, I'll be more independent
and will be able to take care of myself.

I won't hurt or cause trouble for anyone.

So that I… I become…

good enough to be your son!

That's who I'm going to become!

We've misunderstood
each other for a long time.

We took a lot of detours.

But we're finally able to feel each other.

This is all because…

Ky-Kyo!

Sorry, but you're still my problem child,

Kyo.

But you didn't have to make me leave!

I needed to defend myself.

You've gotten weaker than I remember.

-Tohru!
-Yes?

Were you watching that?

-Y-Yes!
-See, I was right, wasn't I?

My master is super strong!

Yes! Yes, yes!

Well, don't give him too much credit…

I know I'm still not good enough…

It's all because…

she…

You're here…

with him.

Sometimes…

I want to run away.

So you're going to start training
at Kazuma's dojo again?

But why just three days a week?

Well…

I'm just really glad how it turned out!

We don't need to talk about it anymore!

Morning.

Good morning, Yuki!

Morning.

Breakfast is ready.

Thanks, I'll have some.

You threw them out?!

I don't want your germs.

Say what you will.

You won't faze me anymore.

I'm going to change!

Oh, Kyo… you're trying to keep
your promise with Master!

Sure. Good luck with that,

you stupid cat.

You g*dd*mn pretty boy!

You're failing already.

You simply piss me off!

-I'm going to hate you till the day I die!
-Kyo…

You assh*le!

Oh, come on!

Damn that kid…

Um, well, at least it didn't come
to fisticuffs.

Right back at him…

I'll hate him even after I'm dead.

Good morning, Yuki!

Morning.

Kagura…

She was still there
when I went to bed that night.

But when I woke up in the morning,
she was already gone.

And…

Yuki, he…

He looked a little down.

Honda.

What's up?

Hello, Hatsuharu!

Is Yuki around?

Um, no. I think he went off somewhere.

Is everything okay?

Well…

When I saw him earlier, he was…

Never mind…

Could Yuki have seen it too?

I mean Kyo's real form… that night.

Kagura seemed to have known
about it already.

See ya.

Did something happen?

You look a little down.

I'm trying to cope with it.

So don't tell me that.

Trying to cope, huh?

How's Kagura doing?

I don't know. I don't see her much.

I'm sure she's fine.

Is something the matter with her?

Kagura?

Are you leaving? Everyone's still asleep.

Yes, I have something today.

Can you tell Kyo I said--

Never mind. I know you wouldn't.

Kagura.

Nothing.

You're being weird.

Kagura…

She's strong.

There was something, actually.

But I won't tell you.

I have to put a lid on it for now.
Very tightly.

About his form…

And the other stuff too.

All of it. Everything.

Otherwise…

The ugly emotions will overflow him.

Like my hatred and disgust.

I might get swallowed up
by those filthy emotions.

I don't want that to happen.

But… Honda was worried about you.

You didn't notice, huh?

No…

It's up to you whether you talk
about your feelings or not.

But… you could at least
give her some relief.

At least for her sake.

I'm more worried about you.

You're always caring for other people.

I wonder why? Maybe it's just how I am.

It's better when
people are happy than sad.

That's true.

Honda.

Yuki!

The student council members
were looking for you.

-Looks like you guys are starting to--
-Honda.

I'm getting better
at tying my tie than I was before.

I don't let the plants die
as much as I used to.

I talk with people more than
I used to, too… I think.

I know these are minor things.

But… I'm trying to get better
at the things I'm not good at.

I'm trying to change little by little.

To be someone
who can take that tight lid

and open it without being overwhelmed.

That's who I want to be.

Someday, I will.

Just as I promised that day.

But I still have a lot to learn.

I made you worry again.

-I'm sorry.
-What?!

No, I was just overthinking it.

I'm still a loser like this.

I still have a lot that I haven't…

told you about.

But I hope I can tell you about them,

little by little.

I hope I'll be brave enough.

Yes!

I'm thinking that this summer,

I'll go outside more.

So you can like summer more.

Yep.

I thought about it,
and I think I can like it more.

Fireworks, festivals, beaches…

There are a lot of memories to have…

with you.

Does that sound bad?

N-No, of course not!

If it does…

Then I'll have to kidnap you,
so just be prepared.

Just kidding!

Honda!

Are you okay?!

Y-Yes, I'm okay! I'm totally fine!

You just surprised me, b-because…

Sorry for laughing.

Let's get going.

You are not a loser.

Both Yuki and Kyo,

they're becoming
more attractive by day.

I'm not sure how long my heart
will be able to stand them.

Ah, so that was Yuki Soma?

He's as pretty as I've heard.

But isn't he…

-Never mind.
-What, are you sure?

You should show more interest
in other people.

I'm super interested!

Why is Haru coming home with us?

I was invited for dinner.

I'll make your favorite food!

What led to this?

That's a secret between the two of us.

Whatever.

Kyo!

Hey!

I'm so happy…

You're finally not running away from me.

She just incapacitated him….

Okay, time to go now!

Where are you taking him?

Oh? Shii-chan called me and asked me
if I wanted to come over for dinner.

What?! You can't just--

-Oh! I'm going to start going to the dojo.
-She looks fine to me.

-So we'll see each other times a day!
-She's coping.

Just like me.

-But in her own way.
-I can't wait!

No, don't come!

I'm going to eat out tonight…

Shut up and let's go!

Sometimes, I just want to run away.

But I'm coping.

Just like everyone else.

Surprise!

I got a bunch of crabs!

I wanted to enjoy them with Yuki,
so I brought them all the way here!

I doubt there are many brothers
as thoughtful as I am!

Of course, I'm the number one!

Oh no, what's wrong, Yuki?
Your eyes look dead!

I know. I know very well.

-You're in awe at my unbeatable love!
-You got this, Yuki. Come on.

Guten Abend!

Momiji… Kisa, Mr. Hatori!

Shigure called us.

Hiro will also join us later.

That's great!

But… where's Shigure?

He had to go take care of an urgent matter
at the Somas'.

We missed each other.

At the Somas'?

I wish summer break was already here!

I could come here every night!

No way, don't come over!

Ow, why not?

I can't relax if I have you running around
every day!

The summer is right around the corner.

It feels as if something…
something might happen,

or something might even begin.

How strange!

I feel that too!
I'm feeling super excited!

We'll go to the beach, get fireworks,
split a watermelon and…

-Let's go look for stag beetles!
-Yes!

Yuki and the others too!

I heard you're being discharged.

Aren't you happy?

If you hadn't tried sneaking out
a bunch of times,

-you would've gotten out much sooner.
-Hiro.

I get it, okay?

Shigure… is all I've got.

It's not going to be easy.

But…

So you're not going to give up.

Rin…

Why would I give up?

I won't ever.

The curse!

I can feel it coming.

I don't know what it is.

It's in my chest…

And it spreads to my throat
as it comes forth.

The feeling…

Something that would make you…
lose your words.
