01x04 - What Year Is She?

[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.

What could that be?

Ah, here comes Er, what is it that's coming?

Oh, where are you going, Kyo-kun?

Yes?

Huh?

There isn't anyone there.

However, the front door is open, so there has to be someone who "Thump-thump" Are you Honda Tohru-san?

Y- yes Umm I'm, um Yes?

Sohma K- Kagura.

Sohma Kagura-san?

S- such a cute girl! Um, is it true that Kyo-kun is here?

Yes, Kyo-kun is in right now.

Kyo-kun?

Kagura! You've you've come back.

Kyo-kun! Um If she's a Sohma can it be?

Does that mean that she is one of the members of the zodiac?

Kyo-kun! Where have you been for the last four months?

Why didn't you contact me?

I I missed you!! I was worried, you know!! It's time to change the paper doors, Shigure.

I wonder why everyone enjoys smashing up other people's houses.

A- ahem Oh, it's okay, it's okay.

That's how Kagura expresses her affection.

Is that so?

Um, it's just that she seems quite eccentric.

When Kagura becomes filled with emotion, that's how she gets.

Particularly so when it comes to Kyo.

Despite all this, she's two years older than us.

And she's one of the zodiac.

I knew it! Which year might she be?

Mm, I think you would know just by watching her.

I was so worried, so worried!! I do know that Kyo-kun looks like he's about to die Kyo-kun! This can't be true! Y- you're so beaten up! Kyo-kun! Who did such a terrible thing!?

You did.

It was you.

It is cold Mm-hm, cold.

I'm sorry.

I was so overcome by the emotion of seeing Kyo-kun that in my joy, I forgot my own strength.

I'm sorry, okay?

It's like she's a different person than before Still, Kyo-kun, this is your fault too, disappearing for four whole months and not keeping in touch with me.

Why do I have to keep in touch with you!?

We are going to get married in the future, after all.

When did you decide that!?

When we were children, you said you would make me your bride.

That was because you threatened me! You have a fiancée?

How wonderful! How nice.

He has someone he can match up against.

Congratulations! You guys!! Both being of the zodiac, marrying each other is the best thing that can happen.

Kyo-kun isn't a formal member of the zodiac, but he does share the pain of being possessed by an evil spirit, and most importantly both being of the zodiac, we can hug each other without transforming! I- it's true! You can hug him, and he doesn't transform! See?

With Yun-chan too! Why is that so?

We don't know.

However, there are two other girls among the zodiac, and to be sure, we can hug them without transforming.

Really!?

There are another two girls?

Kyo-kun! Under the circumstances, tell me straight! Do you love me?

Do you hate me?

As for me, I love you! I love you most in the whole world! I love you most in the whole universe! For you, Kyo-kun, I would cook delicious meals for you every day, and as for affairs, I will forgive you if your heart wavers momentarily! No matter how you think about it, I am the only one who loves you this much, Kyo-kun, just me! You don't think there's anyone else, right!?

I said, that's what you think, right!?

Come on, say something! You aren't very assertive, Kyo-kun.

Come to mention it Tohru-kun, you like Kyo-kun too, don't you?

Being a fan of Cats, and all Yes! I am a fan of Cats.

A rival?

--But I won't lose out to you! --Um Tohru-kun, what is it you like about Kyo-kun?

For me it's everything.

I like everything! --Hey --The good things, the bad things--I accept them all! Even if Kyo-kun were to become his true form, you watch, I'll accept--! You just try to speak another pointless word! I'll show you no mercy! How will you show me no mercy!?

How about getting her to show you some mercy, Kyo?

Ah, sounds like the laundry is done.

Laundry?

I wonder which member of the zodiac Kagura-san really is.

In any case, I hope that we can become friends, with both of us being girls.

Are those Kyo-kun's clothes?

You startled me! Say, are those Kyo-kun's clothes?

No, these are Sohma-kun's.

I was just about to wash Kyo-kun's.

Well, would you let me?

I'd like to wash Kyo-kun's things.

Yeah, but I want to wash Kyo-kun's things! Okay?

Let me do it, Tohru-kun.

Um Okay, then, if you would.

Mm-hm, thanks! Kagura-san?

Kyo-kun! Okay, okay, Kyo-kun, take everything off! --What the hell are you doing!?

--Your laundry! Though I wouldn't mind washing you along with it! Heh heh Don't "heh heh" me! Stop screwing around! Kyo-kun! I can't stand being around you! Ah, Kyo-kun! Oh well, he'll come back when he gets hungry.

What's the matter?

Kyo-kun got mad at me.

Why?

Um, it could be that Kyo-kun isn't mad at you, Pee-yew! How did this get so sweaty-smelling?

If I were to let him wear these clothes like this, I wouldn't be fit to be his future wife! Well, I'm going to go dry Sohma-kun's load, okay?

Let's see, this should be about enough detergent Hmm, maybe a little bit more One more cup, for love Ah, everything that's left, just for the heck of it! Ah, Honda-san, you're going out shopping for dinner, right?

Y- yes! I'll go with you.

Okay.

Oh yeah When Kyo-kun comes home, I'll serve him some deli~cious tea! You've probably figured it out already, but Kagura can really only see as far as Kyo, due to her personality.

In fact, Kagura has kept saying she would marry Kyo since she was little.

Right.

Kagura-san is incredible.

Incredible?

For her to be able to like the same person for over ten years, without her feelings changing one bit, is really something incredible.

Mm-hmm Maybe you're right.

I want to become friends with Kagura-san.

Knowing you, Honda-san, I'm sure you'd make a good friend.

I'll be very happy if that's true.

Kyo-kun, luv ya, luv ya--wow!! It doesn't stink! I'm fit! Damn I can't go out looking like this! Maybe I'll wring them out a bit more, so they'll dry faster.

Kyo-kun! Why, you that's my shirt, isn't it!?

Beloved Stop making eyes at me! Aw, I liked this one.

I'm sorry, Kyo-kun.

I'll make you another right away, so just hold on.

Meanwhile, wear this, okay?

That's soaking wet, you know! But I washed everything.

Everything?

You mean all of my clothes!?

But No buts! What were you thinking!?

I could catch a cold, you know! Kagura-san, how much detergent did you put in?

The whole thing! Is something burning?

Ah, that's right! The teakettle! Yow! "Prevent Fires" Kyo-kun, move away! Everyone is snow-white! This isn't anything to laugh over, you know.

I am angry about it.

"Fume, fume.

" I- I'm sorry.

It wasn't on purpose.

I know that, Kagura.

Would we put up with it if it were on purpose!?

I'm sorry I'm sorry, okay, Kyo-kun?

I'm sorry If you could get by with just apologizing, we wouldn't need the police! Well then Whaddya want me to do!?

Oh, that looks like it hurts.

Well, now A lot has happened, you see I can pretty well imagine.

U- um, I'll lend a hand.

Uh-uh, that's okay.

But it's too troublesome to do all alone.

It's all right, let me.

Forgive me for making the kitchen like this.

I said I would help too, but she wouldn't hear of it.

Really, I'm all right.

Let me take care of the rest.

Okay in that case Are you sure she is all right?

Kagura, despite how it may look, has other areas where she is quite capable.

I think she's okay.

Still, with the kitchen in that shape, it's impossible for anyone to fix any supper.

No choice but to have some Bento dinners delivered tonight.

And I was so looking forward to Tohru-kun's cooking So, what about the other half of the cause of this?

He's sulking, and in a bad mood, so best not to get near him.

"My gratitude for this feast!" Ah, I'm full, I'm full! "My gratitude for this feast.

" U- um, what about Kyo-kun and Kagura-san's Bento dinners?

Yeah, about those We can leave Kyo-kun to himself.

I'll put the word in with Kagura.

Kagura, there's a Bento here for you.

Come eat it while it's still warm.

Okay.

Thanks.

I'll eat it later, just leave it there.

Is Kyo-kun still angry?

I'm not sure.

He's still up there.

Shi-chan, I bet you're still angry at me.

I'm not particularly angry.

But still things may have gone a little too far this time.

I sure would like to live in this house too.

Kyo-kun having another girl at his side makes me uneasy.

Another girl?

Ah, you mean Tohru-kun?

Now that things have come to this point, I'll have to force Kyo-kun to be mine, tonight especially.

You can't.

Shi-chan, you don't understand how a girl feels when she's wavering! I do so understand.

More so than the girl herself knows.

You know, at times like this, you're supposed to throw "Shi-chan, you pervert!" in my face.

Shi-chan, you pervert! That's throwing too much! It is so clean! Kagura-san and Kyo-kun still haven't had their Bentos yet.

Kagura-san Aw, at this pace, it will take until morning-- Kagura-san has been doing this alone all this time Oh, I'm so hungry Ahem Um, have some onigiri rice balls.

It looked as though you haven't had your Bento yet, so I saw about making it into onigiri instead.

They may be a bit cold, but still, if you like Thanks.

Now then I will help you fix the paper doors too, okay?

It just seems like the two of us doing it together would be more fun.

Yeah.

Okay, give me a hand.

Sure! In that case Yes?

I'll take another onigiri.

Sure.

Say, lookie, lookie! It's a cat, right?

That's so cute! Isn't it?

I tried making one too! A rat! You can tell?

I can tell, I can tell! It's so cute.

Thank you very much! I'll put mine up too.

I'm going to make some more! I will make some more too.

Tohru-kun, what are you making?

I will makeum a dog! Ah, in that case, I will make Tohru-kun Yes?

Thanks.

Your kind regards from now on, as well, okay?

Yes! I should be asking you! Kyo-kun! By any chance have you been up here since evening?

Yeah.

Tonight, Kagura is down there, after all.

--Is it wrong for her to be here?

--Of course it's wrong! When she's here, things go badly for me.

She never, ever understands what's going on.

Marriage and whatnot--there's something strange about her, you know?

What a pain! As for me I think it's amazing that someone could come to like someone else so much.

What's more What's more, marriage is, after all, the greatest dream girls have.

Here! Kyo-kun, is it your dream to defeat Sohma-kun?

You've even trained up in the mountains, and all.

Yeah.

Did you hear that from Shigure?

Training must have been pretty rough, I'm sure, all by yourself.

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

A master-san?

Is he somebody strong?

Of course he is! If that damned Yuki were to go up against the master, he'd be beaten ragged! My master is one of the Sohma, but he is strong, and he understands me.

He has been teaching me how to fight since I was a little kid.

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, for the first time in a long time, I want to match up against someone! This must be a boring tale to be telling a girl, huh?

N- no, not at all! I don't know a thing about fighting, but it isn't at all boring! It's not like I don't have any interest in fighting, and um, I do know a few of the moves.

Let's see Right straight! That was damn lousy.

I found another part of the real Kyo-kun.

Underneath that always angry-looking face of his, there hides an awkward smile.

Kyo-kun! I'll come and see you again! Stay well, okay, Kyo-kun?

--So long as you don't come around, I'll be fine! --They sure are spirited so early in the morning.

--Oh, Kyo-kun, you're so quick to blush! --By the way, did you ever figure out Kagura's real identity, Tohru-kun?

--I'm not blushing! I'm having a fit! Can't you tell!?

--Oh, not yet.

Why, Kyo-kun, you idiot! I'm not giving you a goodbye kiss now! Who needs one!?

Why you, Kyo-kun Why you, Kyo-kun, I love you!! Ah, good morning! I am the local paperboy, come to deliver you your morning edition! A male! Yeah, thanks for taking the trouble.

Sure.

Sorry it's a bit late.

Bye-bye! Shigure-san, I've figured it out! Kagura-san's true identity is a boar! Yeah, but for you to say so after she's gone and transformed Kagura-san, I think I have something of an idea now why it is you like Kyo-kun so much.

Kyo-kun has many nice points about him.

Kyo-kun, you womanizer!! U- uh Wasn't she supposed to forgive his affairs?

I never said I wasn't gonna b*at him for them! W- what are you talking about!?

Ahem I didn't mean it in that way.

Like you, Kagura-san, I'd like to be able to find so many nice points about somebody I liked was what I was trying to say.

Like me?

Yes! I think it is something quite wonderful.

I was being complimented! Get some clothes on! Okay, see you later! I'll bring some gifts next time, Kyo-kun! Let's get together again! W- what are you looking at?

I was thinking how lucky you were, Kyo-kun.

Don't be ridiculous! We're gonna be late! Good grief.

With all the commotion, I wasn't able to get anything planted.

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.

You know I forgot something!! I have to give you a goodbye kiss after all! --Don't need one!! --Smooch me! Smooch! Smooch! Stop it! For some reason, I've become filled with an unusual motivation to do something.

About Kyo-kun About Sohma-kun About what they like About what they don't like I think I'd like to understand them all a little better.

I think it would be great if I could discover a variety of other aspects about them that I haven't seen before.

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

I had things wrong.

There was no way I could have become family Honda, you're an onigiri rice ball! There was no way an "onigiri" could have joined the group.

That was a pretty lighthearted farewell, huh?

To think that leaving Sohma-kun and the others' house would make me this lonesome Truthfully, I did not want to leave.
