01x04 - What Year Is She?

[bunniefuu]

Is it true that Kyo is here?

My name is Soma… Kagura Soma.

-Kyo is fighting with chives right now.
-What?

So he's really…

He really is back!

Kyo!

What a cute girl!

No, that's not it!

If she's a Soma,
that means that maybe she's…

Yuki.

Kyo is going to die soon.

Kyo!

Hey, welcome.

-Kagura?
-Kyo…

Where have you been these four months?

Why didn't you tell me?

I…

I missed you!

I missed you!

I was so worried!

I guess it's time to change the shoji.

Why is everyone so fond
of thrashing my house?

-What the…
-Oh, don't worry.

That's Kagura's way of expressing love.

You know, it's like
when kids pick on those they really like.

Is that so?

But she seems
a completely different person now…

She becomes like that when her emotions
run high. Especially with Kyo.

It's kind of hard to believe
she's two years older than us.

And she's also one of the Zodiac.

I knew it! Which animal is she?

Can't you tell just by looking at her?

The only thing I can say for sure
is that Kyo's gooing to die soon…

Oh my.

Kyo, how is this possible?

All beaten up like this…

Who would do such a terrible thing?

It was you! You!

-It's cold.
-Yeah, it is.

Forgive me. I was so happy to see Kyo
that I couldn't hold back my enthusiasm.

Now she's like a different person again.

But it's your fault as well, Kyo.

You disappeared for four months
without even telling me.

Why should I tell you anything?

Well, because we'll be
husband and wife one day, so…

When did you decide that?!

You had a fiancee? How wonderful!

I'm glad there's someone
that wants to be with you.

Congratulations.

Damn you guys!

But you said you'd make me your bride
when we were kids!

That was because you were threatening me!

But why?

You'll be the happiest
by marrying another one of the Zodiac.

We can share our suffering,
and most importantly…

we don't transform
when we hug each other!

Wow, it's true!

Look, with Yuki as well.

Come to think of it, nothing happened
earlier either. Why is that?

We're not sure. But there are two more
female members in the Zodiac,

and nothing happens either
when we hug with them.

What? There are another two female
members? Oh, wow!

You want to know their birth year animals?

No, can I enjoy taking my time
to guess it?

That's very you.

Anyways!

Usually, things don't go well if we marry
normal people of the opposite sex!

Right, Shigure?

Well, yeah.
A lot of problems could arise.

It's difficult for us
to have a normal job.

Besides, if you transform every time you
hug, it's going to be hard to have se--

Too vulgar.

Kyo!

Kyo, you should just say it right now!
Do you love me or not?

I love you!
I love you the most in the world!

I love you the most in the universe!

For you, I'd cook delicious meals
every day,

and I'd even forgive you
if you cheated on me!

No matter how you look at it,

it's clear that I'm the only one
who loves you this much!

Don't you agree?

I said, don't you agree?

You have a weakness for pushy girls,
don't you, Kyo?

Oh, but you also like Kyo, right, Tohru?
You're a Cat-year fan.

What? A rival?

I won't lose! The power of my love
will overcome any obstacle!

Tohru, what do you like about Kyo?
I like everything about him!

Hey!

I can accept the good and the bad as well!

Even if he shows his true form,
I'll accept--

That's enough.

His true form?

Say one more word,
and I'll have no mercy for you.

Have no mercy on who?!

What was that about his "true form"?

But leaving that aside, 

it seems Kagura is truly, deeply
in love with Kyo.

I haven't had my first love yet, 

so seeing how deeply
she's in love with someone…

Kyo, shall I wash your back?

Oh, you're so shy!

It makes me feel a bit envious of her.

Damn it, why do I have to do this?

Stop complaining, it's your fault as well.

It's none of my fault!

You help, too, you damn Rat!

No thanks.

Can't you even wipe your own butt,
you stupid Cat?

What did you just say?
Come out here!

Hey, Kyo!

Look!

Oh, that's so cute!

Stop fooling around!
Besides, it's all your fa--

It's a little early,
but I'll start making dinner.

Wait a second!

Yes?

-I'll make dinner!
-Huh? Why would you?

For the Kyo that I love so much!

I'll help then!

I'm fine, I can do it by myself.
Leave it to me!

Look forward to it, okay, Kyo?

Kyo, fix the door, okay?

Wow!

This is amazing!

Kagura, you really are a great cook!

It's amazing, but how many people
did you cook for?

The fridge is empty…

When I thought I'd be cooking
for my beloved Kyo, I went all out!

-Talking of Kyo, where is he?
-I think he's upstairs.

I'll go call him!

Dinner for Kyo…

Kyo, dinner's ready.

I don't want it.

Why? Your stomach
was growling earlier.

It wasn't growling.

I knew you were hungry,
so I cooked a lot.

I don't want it.

There's lots of stuff you like.

Shut up! I said I won't eat it!

But I cooked everything
because I wanted you to eat…

I worked so hard for you!

Kyo!

Are you okay?

Now the food is all ruined.

Kyo!

Why does everybody break my house?

I'm sorry! I'll cook everything up again.

What do you want to cook
if the fridge is empty?

Ouch…

Just leave already.

-Kagura, I…
-Hold on.

I'll go.

-Where do you think you're going?
-To the grocery store.

Right now?

It's dangerous out at night.

Tell me, Shigure…

Can I live here, too?

I can't stand the fact
that a girl lives with Kyo.

You know you can't.

You…

You would never understand
the wavering emotions of a girl.

You know,

there are times
when I get jealous as well.

-Shall we get take out?
-I'll have a katsudon.

Just a moment.

YOTTEKE SUPERMARKET

-It's , yen.
-Yes…

Here.

Please take this.

Shall I help you with the bag?

It's okay.

-Tohru, you…
-Yes?

Do you like Kyo?

Oh, well, if I have to choose between
like and dislike, of course, I like him!

Ever since I was little, I liked the tales
about the Cat of the Zodiac.

So…

I'm sort of a "Cat Year fan."

A Cat Year fan?

Yes! When I heard the story of the Zodiac,

I wanted to be born
in the Year of the Cat!

Oh, I see.

But I think it's wonderful!

You've been close
since you were little, right?

When I first met Kyo,

he was drawing a sunny side-up egg
on the ground.

A sunny side-up egg?

Hey.

We can play together if you want!

For real?

Yeah, for real!

From now on, I'll be together with you!

I'll always be by your side!

You've…

You've always liked him, right?

Thank you, Tohru.

For coming to pick me up.

Come on, let's go home!
I'm sure they're all starving!

Yeah!

-What are you going to cook?
-I was thinking Hamburg steak.

-Please, let me help!
-Yeah, thanks!

I'm getting hungry, too!

I'm so hungry…

We're back!

Oh, here they are.

Welcome back.

We'll get cooking right away.

-Kagura, let's hurry up and make dinner!
-Yeah!

It's almost ready,
so please carry the dishes.

Of course.

-It's almost ready.
-Finally!

Where's Kyo?

Oh, he went upstairs a while ago.

Kyo, dinner is ready!

Kyo!

Why are you up here?

Dinner will be ready soon!

I'll pass.

But Kagura worked so hard to make it.

She really wanted to make you happy.

She's always talking about crazy things,
like marriage and stuff…

Is there something wrong with her head?

She's so annoying.

But…

It's something you should be happy about.

The fact that there's someone
who cares about you and worries about you.

To know that there's someone, somewhere,

who's thinking about you
no matter where you are,

is very reassuring.

I think being able
to love someone so much is amazing.

Besides, marriage is
every girl's ultimate dream.

So that's how it is?

Is your dream to b*at Yuki?

You went to the mountains
to train for that.

Did Shigure tell you that?

Was it tough to train all alone?

I wasn't alone, I was with my master.

Your master? Is he strong?

Of course he is!

Even Yuki couldn't stand
against my master.

Master is a Soma as well,
but he gets me.

He's a really strong guy, and he taught me
martial arts since I was little.

The training in the mountains was hard,
but every day was so fulfilling!

I couldn't wait for the next day to come!

I was always wondering: "What will he
teach me next? How strong will I get?"

I got excited just thinking about it!

I've never seen Kyo so excited before.

Now I feel like doing some matches again!

It's not that he just wants to b*at Soma,
he truly loves martial arts.

It must've been boring listening to me,
being a girl and that.

What? No, that's not true!

I know nothing about martial arts,
but it wasn't boring!

What? I would get bored
if you talk about stuff I don't care.

Well, if you talk about physics
I can't help but get sleepy,

but it's not like I'm completely
uninterested in martial arts!

I do know a few moves, you know?

Let's see… Right straight punch!

That was bad.

I think I've found
yet another side of the real Kyo.

That awkward smile hidden
under his usual grumpy face.

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Took you long enough! We're starving here.

I'm sorry.

Here.

This is for you.

What?

Only Kyo's has a fried egg on top!

Come on! Let's eat before it gets cold!

Let's!

It's delicious.

It really is!

Oh, I feel so happy!

Come on, Kagura, eat with us!

Yeah!

Kagura, it's getting late.
Why don't you stay the night?

Yay! Let's sleep together, Kyo!

-Forget about it!
-Come on, there's no need to be shy!

Time to say goodbye.

I'll come back to visit, so be well.

I'll be perfectly fine
as long as you don't come visit!

She's so full of energy,
right from early in the morning!

Come to think of it,
have you figured out Kagura's animal?

No, I still haven't!

You idiot!

Fine, I won't give you a goodbye kiss!

Don't think you can always hit me--

Kagura!

I'm done! Kyo, I just… I…

…love him!

A boy!

Good morning. May I help you?

I forgot to deliver
the newspaper earlier this morning, so…

Thanks!

Nice timing!

Today's Soma shines brighter than ever.

That was close…

-You should be more careful, Kagura!
-I'm sorry.

I would've never guessed
there was a boy there…

Shigure, I got it! Kagura's the Boar!

No good saying that
after the transformation.

And you even look triumphant about it…

Come to think of it, Kagura was always
running in a straight line!

That's what boars do!

It's easy to deduce that
once you already know the answer.

I'm so moved! To think you were
such a cute little boar!

She's not even listening.

Kagura, I think I better understand
why you love Kyo so much now.

Kyo's got many wonderful traits,
hasn't he?

What?!

-That's why I want to be like you…
-You damn cheater!

I knew it! I can't lower my guard
even for a second!

What are you talking about?!

Didn't you say you'd forgive him
if he cheated?

I didn't say I wouldn't punish him!

Excuse me!

That's not what I meant!

I meant that I want to be like you,

someone who can see the wonderful things
about the person they love!

That's what I wanted to say…

Like me?

Yes! I think that's a wonderful thing!

-She complimented me.
-Put some clothes on!

Kyo, you need to train more.

See you, Kyo!

Let's meet again next time!

The storm has passed…

Unbelievable.

With all that confusion,
we didn't get to plant anything.

Are you adding a new plant
to the secret base?

-Yeah, strawberries.
-Strawberries?

I love them!

That's why I want to plant them.

We're going to be late.

Somehow…

I was starting to feel full of motivation.

I'll have these!

Sure.

Kyo and Soma.

I felt that I wanted to know more
about what they like and dislike.

I hope I can discover
even more hidden sides to them.

Oh, here she is.

There's a phone call for you,
come over to the staff room.

Hello? I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

Grandpa?

I got the wrong idea.

I knew that all of it was temporary,
and that I'd have to leave eventually.

But somehow I thought…

we could become a family.
