[00:01] ---
    I'm not telling you to quit.
[00:04] ---
    I just don't think it's a good idea
    to have the same teacher.
[00:10] ---
    I have a feeling Momo
    has taken notice of you.
[00:16] ---
    Sorry. I'm really sorry, Momiji.
[00:23] ---
    Why?
[00:27] ---
    Why is it like this?
[00:38] ---
    "Fruits Basket"
[02:01] ---
    I ended up coming here after all.
[02:06] ---
    Now charge forth!
[02:11] ---
    I-I'm scared!
[02:13] ---
    I-I'll circle around again to calm myself.
    Just calm down for now!
[02:19] ---
    Let me explain why
    I came to visit here today.
[02:25] ---
    --Uo-chan!
    --Hmm?
[02:27] ---
    Did you really quit all
    your part-time jobs for new ones?
[02:32] ---
    Yep, I'm at a family restaurant now.
[02:35] ---
    U-Um, but then...
[02:38] ---
    Probably won't ever bump into him again.
[02:42] ---
    But I couldn't stand it anymore.
[02:45] ---
    Whenever a customer entered,
    I'd hope it was him.
[02:49] ---
    Constantly waiting expectantly for him
    just wasn't like me.
[02:56] ---
    Guess I'm just sick of getting worked up
    over every single thing.
[03:00] ---
    If only you knew his name.
[03:03] ---
    Oh, my bad. I didn't say?
[03:05] ---
    His name is Kureno-san.
[03:08] ---
    Kureno?
[03:10] ---
    Of the Soma family? That Kureno-san?
[03:14] ---
    --You know him?!
    --Huh? Whoa!
[03:16] ---
    Seriously?! Soma, like Kyon's family?!
[03:18] ---
    What was he like?! Where'd you meet him?
[03:20] ---
    What color were his eyes? His hair?
[03:22] ---
    I-I very briefly saw him during summer break
    at the Soma vacation house.
[03:26] ---
    He had lovely brown eyes and hair.
[03:31] ---
    He seemed a cool...
[03:33] ---
    ...and collected man.
[03:36] ---
    You've got a different guy.
    Kureno-san's spacey.
[03:40] ---
    He wouldn't realize if
    he stepped in dog crap.
[03:43] ---
    Arisa, that's not a very nice example.
[03:47] ---
    B-But, isn't there still a chance
    they're the same person?
[03:51] ---
    Isn't it worth finding out if they are?
[03:54] ---
    I... I can't do much, but I can try--
[03:56] ---
    Nah.
[03:58] ---
    Don't try. They've got
    to be different people.
[04:02] ---
    Sorry for being cranky. And thanks.
[04:07] ---
    Uo-chan.
[04:11] ---
    Kureno? Don't know much about him, either.
[04:15] ---
    All I know's that he's
    Akito's assistant and stuff.
[04:20] ---
    He doesn't come out much,
[04:23] ---
    and he doesn't interact
    with the other zodiac members.
[04:26] ---
    He's never said a word to me before.
[04:28] ---
    I see...
[04:32] ---
    What's got you asking about Kureno anyway?
[04:34] ---
    Y-Yes! Well, h-he is one
    of the zodiac members,
[04:37] ---
    so you could say that's the reason
    why I may be interested!
[04:41] ---
    Just try not to stick your nose
    where it doesn't need to be.
[04:46] ---
    But Kyo-kun, someone dear to me is troubled.
[04:52] ---
    I don't think this is needless.
[04:56] ---
    It would be thoughtless
    to barge in uninvited, wouldn't it?
[04:59] ---
    It's Tohru Honda. I'm
    here to visit Kureno-san!
[05:04] ---
    I couldn't.
[05:06] ---
    How reckless.
[05:07] ---
    Oh, but...
[05:10] ---
    But... if there's even
    the smallest possibility...
[05:15] ---
    If the one you long to see
    is still in this world...
[05:18] ---
    Go, you can do it!
[05:22] ---
    Is that... a violin?
[05:27] ---
    Who could be playing it?
[05:30] ---
    It feels a little sorrowful...
[05:33] ---
    Huh?
[05:34] ---
    I'm terribly sorry! I wasn't
    watching where I was going.
[05:38] ---
    Are you okay? I'm really sor--
[05:43] ---
    You're... Momiji-kun's--
[05:48] ---
    Oh no! Momo-san doesn't know
    she's Momoji-kun's little sister.
[05:54] ---
    Do you know Momiji, Big Sister?
[05:58] ---
    You're friends? Did you come to see him?
[06:02] ---
    Um... Yes. He's my friend...
[06:06] ---
    You can't get inside, huh?
[06:09] ---
    --This way.
    --Huh?
[06:11] ---
    I'll take you to him.
[06:13] ---
    U-Um...
[06:15] ---
    It's this way. It's a secret entrance!
[06:21] ---
    Is this the back entrance?
[06:24] ---
    Big Sister, this way.
[06:27] ---
    Right here. You get in from here.
[06:30] ---
    U-Um, but...
[06:32] ---
    Hurry up!
[06:36] ---
    They don't let me in from the front,
    so I always sneak in from there.
[06:41] ---
    And I play here.
[06:43] ---
    U-Um, are you familiar--
[06:48] ---
    Do you know Momiji?
[06:50] ---
    Yup. I met him before at Papa's work.
[06:58] ---
    "Forgot"
[06:59] ---
    He looks just like Mama.
[07:02] ---
    So I told Mama.
[07:04] ---
    But then Mama said they don't
    look the same. I was shocked.
[07:08] ---
    And Papa said I can't see him anymore.
[07:12] ---
    But then I was sneaking around,
    and I found Momiji's house!
[07:18] ---
    See, he was playing violin that day, too.
[07:24] ---
    He's not always playing it, but I hide here
    and watch him when he is.
[07:30] ---
    Momiji-kun.
[07:33] ---
    You don't go talk to him?
[07:37] ---
    Papa said I can't.
[07:41] ---
    But you're his friend, right?
[07:45] ---
    I did a good job bringing you here, right?
[07:48] ---
    So can I tell you my wish?
[07:52] ---
    Please ask Momiji!
[07:54] ---
    Please ask Momiji if he
    can be my big brother.
[07:59] ---
    I mean, he looks just like Mama.
[08:02] ---
    Even though Mama said he doesn't,
    he looks just like her.
[08:07] ---
    I want a big brother.
    Then we can talk and play together.
[08:12] ---
    And I started violin lessons, too.
    We can play violin together.
[08:17] ---
    It'd be so fun.
[08:20] ---
    I could see him every day.
[08:24] ---
    Ask him for me.
[08:27] ---
    Ask him for me, okay?
[08:36] ---
    Tohru?
[08:38] ---
    You surprised me. What are you doing here?
[08:41] ---
    Why are you here? Anyways, come in.
[08:46] ---
    You're covered in dirt, Tohru. How'd you...
[08:52] ---
    Tohru? What's the matter?
[08:58] ---
    You play the violin.
[09:02] ---
    Yup.
[09:03] ---
    I haven't played much
    since starting high school.
[09:06] ---
    And I quit lessons from
    the teacher I had for years.
[09:09] ---
    Huh? You stopped your lessons?
[09:12] ---
    Yeah.
[09:13] ---
    B-But you can keep playing violin, right?
[09:20] ---
    Momo started taking violin lessons
    from the same teacher.
[09:25] ---
    So Papa wanted me to stop taking lessons.
[09:30] ---
    Papa's scared. He's afraid of me
    getting close to Momo and Mama.
[09:37] ---
    He's scared.
[09:39] ---
    He doesn't want me to destroy the
    happiness he desperately rebuilt.
[09:46] ---
    I don't want to hurt her anymore.
[09:50] ---
    I'm scared that I'll hurt her by seeing her.
[09:56] ---
    But...
[09:59] ---
    But Momo-san wants to see you.
[10:03] ---
    Actually, she's the one who led me here.
[10:10] ---
    She's... She's always known who you are.
[10:15] ---
    She's... She's always watched you!
[10:23] ---
    Just like you've always watched over her,
[10:27] ---
    she's listened to you play violin!
[10:31] ---
    She wishes she could talk and play with you!
[10:37] ---
    And wants to ask you to be her big brother!
[10:42] ---
    You want to see them...
[10:44] ---
    Even though the one you want
    to see is still in this world...
[10:51] ---
    It was true.
[10:55] ---
    Papa said Momo had taken notice of me.
[11:01] ---
    Oh no.
[11:03] ---
    Oh no... I'm so happy!
[11:08] ---
    Why do feelings grow intense
    when you can't see them?
[11:16] ---
    Tohru, my dream is to become a violinist.
[11:23] ---
    When I do, I want to have a small concert
[11:28] ---
    and have Papa, Mama, and Momo come watch me.
[11:36] ---
    Thanks, Momo.
[11:42] ---
    I'm so happy right now,
[11:45] ---
    and I can only be this happy
[11:49] ---
    because there's someone who will cry for me.
[11:57] ---
    I must see him, no matter what.
[12:00] ---
    See him? Who?
[12:04] ---
    Who did you come to see?
[12:08] ---
    Kureno-san.
[12:14] ---
    I see. You came all this way to see Kureno?
[12:18] ---
    But why do you want to see Kureno?
[12:24] ---
    There's someone who's been waiting
    a long time to see a Kureno-san.
[12:30] ---
    I thought it might be Kureno Soma.
[12:35] ---
    I wanted to find out.
[12:38] ---
    You're doing it for someone?
[12:40] ---
    No... No. I'm not doing
    anything so praiseworthy.
[12:47] ---
    I decided on my own without
    asking to come find out.
[12:54] ---
    Kureno lives in the inner estate,
[12:57] ---
    so we don't see him much.
[13:01] ---
    So it might be hard to see him.
[13:06] ---
    Actually, it might be just the
    zodiac members who think that.
[13:10] ---
    Akito won't let him see us,
    so he's just doing as he's told.
[13:16] ---
    I'll go with you.
[13:18] ---
    H-Huh?
[13:19] ---
    What will you do if someone finds you?
[13:24] ---
    What if Akito finds you?
[13:28] ---
    That might happen again...
[13:33] ---
    Momiji-kun...
[13:37] ---
    Thank you for being concerned for me.
[13:41] ---
    But I cannot cause you more trouble
    than I have already.
[13:45] ---
    I will be fine.
[13:48] ---
    Besides, he's not to see any
    of the other zodiac members.
[13:57] ---
    Let's see... according to
    the map Momiji drew for me...
[14:03] ---
    You've got that, Tohru?
    If anyone finds me, blame it on me.
[14:09] ---
    You have to! You've got to!
[14:13] ---
    Momiji-kun, thank you so much
    for being worried for me
[14:20] ---
    rather than scolding me
    for my selfish actions.
[14:27] ---
    Courage! I need to get some courage!
[14:30] ---
    Mom!
[14:33] ---
    Mom, if you're not angry
    at what I'm doing right now,
[14:39] ---
    please give me some of your courage!
[14:45] ---
    Um... I should be getting close.
[14:54] ---
    Oh!
[14:56] ---
    Kureno-sa--
[14:59] ---
    People! I-I must hide!
[15:04] ---
    Oh, I was close. I was so close!
[15:08] ---
    Oh no, there's someone here, too!
[15:11] ---
    Whoa! H-Here, too! I have nowhere to run!
[15:14] ---
    Oh no, I'm getting farther
    and farther from Kureno-san!
[15:22] ---
    Whatever am I doing?
[15:25] ---
    But this is no time
    to be discouraged! Try again!
[15:31] ---
    I'd like to, but where am I now?
[15:34] ---
    Who's there?
[15:37] ---
    Is someone there?
[15:39] ---
    That voice...
[15:42] ---
    What... What should I... What can I do?
[15:47] ---
    It's Kureno. I was passing by
    here on some business.
[15:53] ---
    Kureno-san?!
[15:55] ---
    Why not come in for some tea?
[15:58] ---
    No, I must return. Akito will be worried.
[16:03] ---
    Now, if you'll excuse me.
[16:11] ---
    I thought I heard someone
    call me and went after you.
[16:16] ---
    What were you doing there?
[16:17] ---
    S-Sorry.
[16:19] ---
    How did you enter here in the first place?
[16:22] ---
    If you snuck in, nobody would object
    if I turned you in to the police.
[16:27] ---
    P-Please, wait! Before you do that,
    will you listen to what I have to say?
[16:33] ---
    Kureno-san! Do you know someone
    named Arisa Uotani?
[16:41] ---
    It's him. He is Uo-chan's Kureno-san.
[16:47] ---
    Uo-chan wants to see you.
[16:51] ---
    It takes a lot for her to complain!
[16:55] ---
    She quit all her jobs for new ones!
[16:58] ---
    But... But she seemed so sad and lonely
    that she couldn't see you again.
[17:11] ---
    I don't plan to see her again.
[17:16] ---
    Is that because you
    have a zodiac spirit?
[17:23] ---
    No... it's not that.
[17:28] ---
    I...
[17:32] ---
    It doesn't concern you.
[17:35] ---
    I-I understand. No, u-um, but...
[17:39] ---
    Uo-chan is very dear to me.
[17:42] ---
    S-So, please take her contact information!
[17:48] ---
    Y-You don't have to contact her
    just because you accept it.
[17:54] ---
    But you... you might not know
    how you'll feel tomorrow.
[17:59] ---
    Tomorrow, you might wake
    up and want to see her.
[18:05] ---
    Maybe not tomorrow.
    It might be the day after that,
[18:07] ---
    a year from now, or ten years from now!
[18:11] ---
    But... but as long as you're alive,
    things will keep happening.
[18:17] ---
    As long as you're alive, you will
    continue to have new wishes!
[18:23] ---
    I-I'll hide this in here,
    s-so that others won't find it.
[18:32] ---
    That's all I have to say.
[18:40] ---
    Oh, sorry, but I don't have handcuffs on me.
[18:43] ---
    It's okay. I'll let you off.
[18:46] ---
    Plus, there's someone here
    who's worried about you.
[18:50] ---
    Momiji-kun.
[18:53] ---
    Now, go back.
[18:54] ---
    U-Um, Kureno-sa--
[18:58] ---
    Someone like you shouldn't be here.
[19:06] ---
    Goodbye.
[19:09] ---
    My heart is breaking.
[19:14] ---
    Momiji-kun, I... I caused
    so much trouble for you today.
[19:20] ---
    What? I don't think that at all.
[19:24] ---
    You told me about Momo. It made me so happy!
[19:28] ---
    I want to do something in return.
[19:31] ---
    Oh, yeah! Why don't I have
    a concert just for you someday?
[19:36] ---
    Huh?! B-But, um, I don't know
    much about classical--
[19:42] ---
    Don't worry! I'll play a song you like!
[19:46] ---
    A song I like? Wishes...
[19:52] ---
    "Birth of Wishes."
[19:55] ---
    You like that song?
[19:57] ---
    Oh... um, it popped into my head just now.
[20:01] ---
    Oh, but, er, if it's too hard on violin,
    a different song is fine.
[20:05] ---
    It's okay. I'll practice.
[20:09] ---
    I'll wish...
[20:12] ---
    ...that you can see them.
[20:15] ---
    What's wrong?
[20:17] ---
    I don't see you up on the roof much.
[20:22] ---
    You go exploring today or something?
[20:24] ---
    Huh?
[20:25] ---
    Weren't you covered in
    dirt when you came home?
[20:29] ---
    Yes, I could only do the bare minimum.
[20:34] ---
    Huh?
[20:36] ---
    You want to be with someone you like...
[20:40] ---
    ...want to be near them, huh?
[20:45] ---
    What, you have a crush on someone?
[20:50] ---
    What?! N-N-No! No, that's not it!
[20:53] ---
    I'm not talking about me!
[20:55] ---
    Don't worry.
[20:57] ---
    When you do find someone...
[21:02] ---
    ...I'll be here to help you out.
[21:07] ---
    Oh, okay.
[21:10] ---
    Thank yo--
[21:14] ---
    Why're you crying?!
[21:17] ---
    I don't know. The tears started
    spilling out for some reason!
[21:23] ---
    Wh-Why am I...
[21:29] ---
    My heart aches. It's being torn apart.
[21:36] ---
    Am I disheartened,
    because what I wish for is impossible?
[21:47] ---
    Is it because I know about wishes
    that cannot come true?
[21:54] ---
    Even so... I'll wish.
[22:00] ---
    What do you wish for, Kyo-kun?
[22:03] ---
    For someone to quit crying.
[22:08] ---
    Okay.
[22:11] ---
    I'll wish.
[23:45] ---
    "You Will, I'm Sure"
[23:46] ---
    You will, I'm sure.
[23:49] ---
    
[23:51] ---
