01x10 - It's Valentine's, After All

[bunniefuu]

Man, Tohru makes the best miso soup.

Thank you.

Yuki and I never ate breakfast
when it was just the two of us.

Good morning, Kyo.

Morning.

Hurry up and finish your food,
or I'll just be on my way.

What about breakfast?

-I don't want any.
-But…

Just let him be.

I wonder if he's okay…

-What?
-He only has one left?

I had hoped the Prince's locker
would be full of it. So much for that.

Full of what?

Full of chocolates, of course,
the way it always happens in manga.

Oh yeah!

I know…

This is just the way it happens
in a cuckoo's nest.

The female cuckoo
pushes the host's eggs out of the nest …

Here, someone wanted
to make their chocolate stand out

by throwing out the entire supply
that had been stored here.

My proof is in the trash can.

Where they dumped the chocolates!

I'm about to do something awful,

so consider me a buzzard, coming
to salvage the last morsel of food.

But that's Yuki's…

Today is February the th, which means

that Valentine's Day falls on Saturday.

If we want to celebrate it at school,
then today's the day!

Kyo!

-Hey.
-Hngh.

Ky-Kyo!

It's morning, but he's already looking
to pick up a fight.

I disagree.

I sense a delicate vibe in him.

Delicate?

He seems confused.

But it's none of my business.

As long as Tohru stays out of trouble.

That's true.

This is for Yuki!

Yes, for him!

Of course!

For Yuki!

Women can act really crazy
at times like these.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of his fans
leapt out of a bush right now.

It's scarier than it sounds
for those of the Zodiac.

Kyon-chan!

Here's your share
of the chocolate treasure!

Thanks.

See, Kyo is popular too!

How cute!

She called him "Kyon-chan"!

Are you giving them chocolates too?

Yes, I'll give a piece to everyone,
including Shigure.

I'll bring some for you two on Monday.

-I can't wait.
-Thanks!

Not bad, Kyon-Kyon!

Gotta say I'm jealous.

Today is Valentine's Day, isn't it?

Close… it's tomorrow.

I'm going home.

No, the house isn't
completely safe either.

A trip! I'm going on a trip!

I'm going to disappear for a while.

Are you ditching my class?

Ms. Shiraki!

You're so inappropriate!

How dare you speak to me that way,
you Orange Head?

I'll be dyeing my hair black any day now,
just you see

with this grey-hair treatment!

Now get back to your seat already.

What's the matter
with Kyo all of a sudden?

I know that the girls are aggressive,

but I wonder if there's
something more to this.

Is something wrong, Kyo?

Kagura!

Kyo…

Kyo!

sh*t, she's here!

I… love… you!

Knew it.

So he was trying to avoid Kagura.

But it's Valentine's Day.

It's an important event for lovers.

And who are those lovers?

Don't ask questions right now.

Dammit.

I should've gone on a trip.

Did you get to give him the chocolate?

No. I actually wanted to
invite him somewhere.

Do you want to go out someplace
with me tomorrow?

I'll bring the chocolate with me then.

Are you guys going on a date?

Oh, please, Tohru!

No way! Absolutely no--

You're going with me.

I said no!

Why would I want to do that?

With you, of all people?!

You're so mean…

I deserve to be treated better than this!

Stop crying.

If you're going to flirt with each other,
can you take it somewhere else?

You!

I know! How about this?

-Let's invite Yuki and Tohru
-Here's some tea.

-and make it a double date!
-Thanks.

Ah, that's a great idea!

Right?! It really is, huh?

Hold on a sec!

Why bring Yuki into this?!

THAT SOUNDS FUN

I've never been on a date before!

Can we really go?!

I don't care anymore…

I'll see you tomorrow. Are you excited?

Not at all.

Hey, Haru told me something…

He said that you and Yuki
have been getting along well.

If you two got to know each other more,

you'd be on even better terms.

If that were to happen,
I would be happier too.

Bye!

Haa-kun knows what he's talking about.

All of us could learn
how to make compromises.

What's your point?

Don't you treat us
like we're all friends here.

"Get to know each other more"?

Are you kidding me?!

I hate Yuki!

And that's how it's supposed to be!

Why do you say it
like hating is an obligation?

It's as if…

your eyes are showing
your fear of getting to know him.

Kyo!

Kyo, wait!

What is it?

What happened here?

It's nothing.
I was just feeling frustrated.

But I might have gone too far.

Ky-Kyo?

Where are you?

He looked like he was… scared.

Oh, Kyo?

It's as if he tries to protect something
by hating it.

Who could that be? Himself?

Just forget it.

Just forget about what happened.

It has nothing to do with you.

Stay out of it.

It's okay if you two don't get along.

I wanted you two to be on good terms…

But…

But it's okay if you hate him.

It's okay.

Don't worry!

The plum pickle on your back…
I can see it clearly.

I think you're amazing.

I don't want to see anything.

I don't want to think about anything.

Just not yet.

Kyo's heart has always been fragile.

And same for Yuki, too.

The slightest touch might damage them.

We're going out tomorrow.

Or do you still not want to go?

It's fine. I'll go.

Just this one time.

Okay…

Ouch!

Why all of a sudden?

Never mind. Let's just go home.

The pain, suffering and worries
that you two are shouldering…

I hope I can help you
get rid of them some day.

Just like how you helped me do the same.

I want the best for the both of you.

I dreamed about someone I love.

After that there was nothing I could do.

I'm heading over right now, sir!

Please have everything completed!

Easy for you to say.

Shigure.

We're heading out.

Okay, have a great time, guys!

Double date sounds like fun!

Oh wait, Yuki.

What?

Never ask the girls to split the bill.

I know that.

Make sure to lead the girls, Kyo.

This is so stupid.

Umm…

The chocolates for Hatori…

Are you sure you can deliver them?

Don't worry, I won't eat them!

That's not what I meant.

-I know you're busy--
-Let him handle it.

There's no reason for you
to visit the head family.

But…

She's actually been there once already…

Well, Yuki is right about that.

You go and have fun, okay?

Okay!

Hey, are we going or what?

Yes we are!

We're going now, Shigure!

Okay.

Have fun.

We cannot come to the phone right now.

Please leave a message after the tone.

I forgot to mention one thing!

You can pretend like you're not home,

but please don't run away!

What a funny thing to say.

But since she mentioned it,

it's giving me ideas.

Kyo!

I was so excited about today
that I couldn't get any sleep.

Uh-huh, good for you.

Honda, are you okay?

Oh, um…

Shigure is always smiling,

so I can never tell if I'm being
too much of a problem or not.

Only a handful of people like Hatori know
what Shigure is really thinking about.

I don't remember who said that,
but Shigure is like water ripples.

Ripples that come and go.

They brush against your feet,
but they are gone before you know it.

You can never fully grasp him.

I'd say that's giving him too much credit.

To me, he's just a jellyfish
swimming in the ripples.

Hah…

Yuki, Tohru!

We need to go! The movie is starting.

Oh, okay!

Give me a break.

He's always smiling,
but what's his real agenda?

There you go, Haa-san.

A Valentine's Day gift from me.

I'm sorry, I lied.

It's from Tohru.

You fool.

That's considerate of her.

She even made one for
Haa-kun and Momiji.

She was planning to deliver them herself.

But here I am instead.

Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, and Kagura are
on a double date today.

-I would never have guessed.
-Right?

It's quite obvious at this point
that Tohru has an effect on them.

{\an }MOGETA'S LAST CRUSADE

{\an }I bet they're all enjoying
a movie right about now.

No, Mogeta!

Don't give in to the evil creatures!

Stop! It's too late…

Look over there!

This can't be happening!

Mogeta!

Mogeta!

No! I'm Alitamis Dompanina Tyos!
Ali for short!

Mogeta!

Mogeta!

They might change.

She has the power to soften people up.

I kind of crossed the line
with Kyo last night.

-I made him really upset.
-Don't do that to him.

But he was fine
when he came back with Tohru.

She's like their anti-anxiety pill.

You seem pleased.

Is this what you wanted all along?

I don't like this
passive-aggressiveness of yours.

You're a big liar for saying
that you're not using her.

Both you and Akito are
using Tohru as your pawn.

For your own benefit and agenda.

Do you remember
the morning after the dream?

You, me, and Ayame… We all cried.

Remember?

It became a trauma for you two…

But for me…

I still keep it in my heart.

The longing.

The sad and bitter-sweet passion.

I want to make it last forever.

Make it really mine somehow.

I'm going do it.

That promise is still kept in my heart.

If I can make it mine,
I don't care if I have to lie a little.

Even if it ends up hurting someone else.

I do have moments of self-loathing.

Especially when I see Tohru.

She really is a good person.

But…

She's also too pure for me.

Sometimes she makes me think…

that I might be the most corrupted one.

I mean, I know that I am.

Listen.

Sometimes, I envy even you.

I think I'm the most cursed one of all.

Doctor, it's time for Akito's check up.

Doctor, I can substitute in for you!

I knew you were going to say that.

Give my regards to Ms. Honda for me.

Yeah, yeah.

No matter what happens…

be ready to give up
at least one of your teeth.

Whether it's Yuki, or Kyo,

or Ms. Honda, even.

You're going to get it from one of them.

You're right.

I hate getting hurt,
but I don't have a choice.

I'm not taking your side.

But I'm not your enemy either.

See you later.

Shigure, take care of yourself.

I can't say that…

I'm not corrupted, either.

A tooth, a bone…
they can take whatever they want.

There's something much more important. 

Akito.

Shigure? I didn't know you were visiting.

Well, here I am.

So I can see you.

I'm not surprised.

I'm sure you're not.

You're most important to me.

I'll make you mine.

No matter what kind of lies
I have to tell or who I have to use.

I'll make that dream eternal.

The movie was so great!

Remember that one part?

With Mogeta and the Emperor's foot?

I cried so much!

-It was great…
-Go home already!

Aw, you're so shy, Kyo!

Ky-Kyo!

Huh?

Sorry, are you okay?

I'm okay, it's all over.

I'm ready to die right here!

Can you not k*ll yourself
in front of my house?

Shigure--

Author Shigure!

This is Micchan, she's my editor.

You stupid assh*le!

I asked you to not run away!

I didn't run away.

I was just out for a bit.

It's the same thing!

Micchan, remember, "que sera sera."

It is what it is.
If things don't work, they don't work.

Oh yes, Haa-san says thank you.

Oh, I'm glad he got it.

So where's mine?

It's in the oven right now.

I hope you like it.

Keep going! Move your hands and fingers!

Okay, okay.

I wish you would get a little more
serious about your job.

Isn't work a priority?

Oh? I'm my only priority in my life.

Then stop procrastinating and
putting more pressure on yourself!

Okay, fine.

I'm not letting you get away this time!

I'm going to chase you wherever you go!

Oh, how scary.

If you think you can catch me…

then go ahead and try.
