**[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] ---**
