**[00:04] ---**
I almost forgot.
For those of you who haven't yet,
**[00:06] ---**
make sure to turn in your
career plan forms this week.
**[00:09] ---**
Okay.
**[00:11] ---**
Parent-teacher conferences
are right after summer break.
**[00:14] ---**
Don't forget to let your parent
or guardian know what's up.
**[00:18] ---**
I'll see if Grandfather can attend.
**[00:20] ---**
Kyon-Kyon!
**[00:22] ---**
Know what you'll do after
graduation yet? A cat shop?
**[00:25] ---**
Shut it. None of your business!
**[00:28] ---**
Lunch time! I'm so damn hungry!
**[00:32] ---**
U-Uotani-*sama*, why'd you kick Kyon-Kyon's desk?
**[00:36] ---**
I'm freakin' hangry! I woke up late
and didn't eat breakfast!
**[00:40] ---**
Oi, you should be grateful you were
born a woman, Gangster Girl.
**[00:45] ---**
You'd be dead in a heartbeat
if you were a guy, bitch!
**[00:48] ---**
I did that 'cause I know
you won't hurt girls, dumbass!
**[00:52] ---**
Um... Let's... eat lunch...
**[00:57] ---**
It's been so long since
we've all eaten together.
**[01:00] ---**
It has.
**[01:01] ---**
Eating with this group makes my lunch worse.
**[01:04] ---**
Tohru-*kun*, did you already
submit your career plan form?
**[01:07] ---**
Yes!
**[01:08] ---**
I don't know what to do. I haven't yet.
**[01:11] ---**
Me neither. It's too early to decide.
**[01:15] ---**
Oh yeah, Tohru, still the same plan?
**[01:18] ---**
I want to start working so I can support myself.
**[01:22] ---**
Yes, working sounds good.
**[01:25] ---**
You know, Tohru,
there's the option of getting married.
**[01:29] ---**
--Huh?
--Oh, dear.
**[01:31] ---**
Perhaps I should go to college
to get a better job, then.
**[01:36] ---**
She's not marrying *you*.
**[01:38] ---**
Anyway, I meant like marrying
one of these two, for instance.
**[01:43] ---**
--Wha--?
--Wha--?
**[01:44] ---**
What're you actin' all surprised for, huh?
**[01:46] ---**
It better not be 'cause you've got
somethin' against Tohru, dammit!
**[01:49] ---**
Th-That's not it at all...
**[01:51] ---**
Oh? Let's see which of us wins, then.
**[01:53] ---**
We didn't even say anything!
Stop picking a fight!
**[01:56] ---**
U-Um, i-if I'm to be married,
**[02:01] ---**
I'm sure it's still far in the future.
**[02:04] ---**
Yeah, maybe I'll surprise
you all and get married first.
**[02:08] ---**
Nobody'll want you.
**[02:12] ---**
Marriage aside, I did meet a guy at work
that I'm maybe kind of into.
**[02:17] ---**
Wh-What?!
**[02:19] ---**
You never told us.
**[02:20] ---**
Wh-What's he like?
**[02:22] ---**
Hmm... He's kinda like Tohru.
**[02:25] ---**
Huh? He's like me?
**[02:29] ---**
I'd love to meet him.
**[02:32] ---**
--I can guarantee he's not like
what you're imagining, Hanajima.
--Career plans... What I should do next...?
**[02:38] ---**
My... future... from now on...
**[02:48] ---**
"Fruits Basket"
**[04:16] ---**
Tohru, over here!
**[04:18] ---**
Don't fall behind spacing out.
**[04:19] ---**
Okay!
**[04:21] ---**
Shisho-*san* kindly invited me over.
It would be awful if I got lost on the way.
**[04:27] ---**
Don't expect too much.
We're just talking over lunch.
**[04:32] ---**
It might just get boring.
**[04:34] ---**
I'm sure it won't be!
I'm thrilled that I get to eat with you two!
**[04:41] ---**
You're easy to please.
**[04:45] ---**
Look where you're going. You'll trip.
**[04:49] ---**
Shisho!
**[04:50] ---**
Thank you for having us!
**[04:52] ---**
I brought her!
**[04:55] ---**
U-Um, Kyo-*kun*, I smell something strange.
**[05:03] ---**
"In the Moonlight"
**[05:04] ---**
--Shisho!
--Ouch!
**[05:05] ---**
What're you burning this time?!
**[05:07] ---**
--Huh?
--The pot!
**[05:08] ---**
The fish is burning, too!
**[05:10] ---**
--Is... everything... okay?
--I thought I'd try my hand at cooking
again for this special occasion.
**[05:16] ---**
Sorry about that. I was immersed in my book.
**[05:19] ---**
It's Shigure-*kun*'s new book.
**[05:19] ---**
"In the Moonlight"
**[05:21] ---**
Burn that to ashes!
**[05:24] ---**
Sorry, it's been so long, and the first thing
you see of me is that mess.
**[05:28] ---**
No, no, don't worry about it!
**[05:31] ---**
Though, I noticed that you cut your hair.
**[05:35] ---**
Yes, I chopped it off.
**[05:37] ---**
Chopped it off...
**[05:38] ---**
Now, what shall we do? It's almost lunch time...
**[05:44] ---**
Um... If you don't mind, I can cook.
**[05:48] ---**
What? Why're you gonna cook
when you're the guest?
**[05:51] ---**
--I leave it to you.
--Don't let her!
**[05:55] ---**
Hmm...
**[06:02] ---**
What is it, Kyo? You want to
talk about something?
**[06:05] ---**
Huh? Why're you asking?
**[06:07] ---**
Ever since you were young,
whenever you wanted to say something...
**[06:13] ---**
Let's play. Let's play. Let's play. Let's play.
**[06:14] ---**
Let's play. Let's play. Let's play. L--
**[06:16] ---**
You're lying! I don't have
any habits that cutesy!
**[06:21] ---**
Well? What did you want to talk about?
**[06:25] ---**
It's nothing.
**[06:31] ---**
"Mustard"
**[06:33] ---**
It's basically empty.
**[06:35] ---**
I don't usually cook.
**[06:38] ---**
I think I could put a curry together!
**[06:40] ---**
Ah, curry sounds good. I'll help--
**[06:44] ---**
Sheesh, stop already. I'll help.
You can watch from the hallway.
**[06:49] ---**
You'll help me? Thank you very much!
**[06:54] ---**
Shisho-*san*!
**[06:56] ---**
Kyo-*kun* is such a great cook.
**[06:59] ---**
The rice porridge he made for me
before was delicious.
**[07:03] ---**
Kyo made it... for you?
**[07:06] ---**
Yes!
**[07:08] ---**
I see!
**[07:09] ---**
Shisho! Just leave. Go read that book!
**[07:12] ---**
If you say so.
**[07:14] ---**
C'mon, let's get started already.
**[07:16] ---**
R-Right!
**[07:17] ---**
What happened?
**[07:19] ---**
He threw me out.
**[07:21] ---**
Oh?
**[07:22] ---**
You gonna be able to put
your hair back if you untie it all?
**[07:26] ---**
It's easy.
**[07:27] ---**
--Looks like they're having fun.
--Wow.
**[07:30] ---**
I never thought he'd be able to interact
like that with people other than you.
**[07:34] ---**
Oh, I'll get it.
**[07:39] ---**
Last year at this time, he couldn't...
**[07:42] ---**
He couldn't even raise his head up,
let alone smile.
**[07:47] ---**
All he had was despair.
**[07:50] ---**
He smelled only of darkness
similar to that of death.
**[07:55] ---**
Kazuma-*san*.
**[07:57] ---**
Kazuma-*san*!
**[07:59] ---**
Who was it?
**[08:02] ---**
It was... Kyo's father.
**[08:08] ---**
What? You're going out?
**[08:11] ---**
Sorry. I unexpectedly need
to meet with someone.
**[08:15] ---**
I'll return as quickly as possible.
**[08:18] ---**
Shisho, did something happen?
**[08:22] ---**
Don't worry, I'll be back soon.
**[08:25] ---**
Wait here and be a good kid.
**[08:27] ---**
What the heck?
**[08:29] ---**
Remember you often would be
close to tears when I'd leave?
**[08:32] ---**
That was when I was a kid!
Don't drag up the past!
**[08:35] ---**
They're having a friendly argument.
**[08:38] ---**
A doting parent for a doting child.
**[08:40] ---**
T-To whom am I speaking?
**[08:43] ---**
Pleased to meet you. I'm Kunimitsu Tomoda.
**[08:46] ---**
You could say I'm Kazuma's
disciple and secretary.
**[08:50] ---**
I know some tidbits about Kyo as a child.
**[08:54] ---**
For instance, he once cried because
he was so afraid of that stain.
**[08:59] ---**
Kunimitsu!
**[09:03] ---**
Don't blab about useless stuff! Get out! Shoo!
**[09:05] ---**
Oh, fine. The third wheel will leave now.
**[09:08] ---**
What?!
**[09:09] ---**
Sheesh, what's with the two of them?!
**[09:13] ---**
As a child, you cried when you were scared, too?
**[09:17] ---**
'Course I did.
**[09:18] ---**
It does look scary, like a face.
**[09:22] ---**
--Oh no, are you still scared of it?
**[09:24] ---**
--Yeah, right!
--Oh no, are you still scared of it?
**[09:26] ---**
Of course not.
**[09:29] ---**
Don't be scared.
**[09:32] ---**
It'll get less scary as
your body and mind grow.
**[09:39] ---**
If I grow, will I be able to overcome the fear?
**[09:49] ---**
Eek!
**[09:50] ---**
C'mon, stop loafing. Let's get started.
**[09:53] ---**
Th-That made such a nice sound just now.
**[09:56] ---**
Right? Wanna hear it again?
**[09:58] ---**
N-No, don't be ridiculous!
**[10:01] ---**
Can I change my future?
**[10:10] ---**
Your grandfather was the one
previously possessed by the Cat.
**[10:15] ---**
*You* of all people should understand.
**[10:20] ---**
Normally, the one possessed
by the Cat is confined.
**[10:23] ---**
That *thing* is getting a taste of freedom now,
**[10:27] ---**
but the freedom will come to
an end after graduation.
**[10:30] ---**
Then, they'll force it to live in
that pitch-black room
**[10:34] ---**
at the main estate until death.
**[10:37] ---**
Kazuma-*dono*, I ask for
your cooperation when the time comes.
**[10:41] ---**
I believe you are getting
ahead of yourself, however.
**[10:45] ---**
--There is still over a year before graduation--
**[10:47] ---**
--I'm worried!
--There is still over a year before graduation--
**[10:49] ---**
Whenever I think that it might be allowed
to continue living outside...
**[10:55] ---**
That... That *thing* is a monster!
**[10:58] ---**
A monster that as good as killed
its own mother--my wife!
**[11:06] ---**
Will that be forgiven?!
**[11:10] ---**
It was all that *thing's* fault.
**[11:13] ---**
All because of *it*, everything fell apart.
**[11:18] ---**
You two are similar.
**[11:21] ---**
You're similar to how Kyo was not long ago.
**[11:26] ---**
Not able to handle the anxiety and fear,
you shut your eyes and plug your ears.
**[11:31] ---**
Forcibly leaving everything to others.
**[11:34] ---**
However, that boy is changing.
**[11:39] ---**
He was finally able to climb out of his despair
and is ready to leave it behind.
**[11:43] ---**
He's trying to grow.
**[11:46] ---**
Will *you* not change?
**[11:50] ---**
Why do you persecute your son while never
stopping to reflect on your own conduct?
**[11:55] ---**
A-Are you saying I'm at fault?
**[11:58] ---**
I just wonder if it's fair
to put all the blame on him.
**[12:03] ---**
Hah, you sound almost fatherly.
**[12:06] ---**
But I know that you took him in for the money.
**[12:12] ---**
You gain a fair sum for raising
any zodiac child, even the Cat!
**[12:17] ---**
I rejoice in seeing him grow.
And no matter how much you scorn me,
**[12:24] ---**
I could *never* cooperate in his confinement.
**[12:28] ---**
P-Preposterous! Akito-*sama* will...
**[12:31] ---**
The head of the family will have
something to say about that!
**[12:34] ---**
No matter who I'm against,
I will protect him with my life.
**[12:39] ---**
You are no parent of his,
so you will never understand.
**[12:50] ---**
Unforgiveable...
**[12:54] ---**
I told you. I don't like the ocean or pools.
**[12:58] ---**
Can you even swim?
**[13:00] ---**
I can handle it! I just need to learn
how to breathe while swimming!
**[13:04] ---**
What? How can you swim if you can't do that?
**[13:07] ---**
I just go *whoosh* and swim really fast!
**[13:09] ---**
Idiot. You'll just get swept
away by the ocean waves.
**[13:14] ---**
Shisho! You took so long.
**[13:16] ---**
Welcome back!
**[13:18] ---**
Thanks.
**[13:19] ---**
Was it a big hassle?
**[13:21] ---**
Yep, it was. They complained
my ears off. That about sums it up.
**[13:30] ---**
What?
**[13:32] ---**
If you continue to change,
I'll continue to protect you.
**[13:41] ---**
That aside, is the curry ready?
**[13:43] ---**
--It's *been* ready.
--Shall we eat lunch, then?
**[13:50] ---**
You know what? We had to turn in
a career plan form and stuff, too.
**[13:54] ---**
But know what? I've already decided,
so it was easy-peasy!
**[13:59] ---**
You have? That's wonderful!
**[14:02] ---**
Right? Isn't it?
**[14:05] ---**
I might not be able to do it, but still...
**[14:09] ---**
...it'd be great if I could do it,
so I'll believe I can!
**[14:13] ---**
Oh, and I'll show it to you one day!
**[14:18] ---**
--Oh, it's Yuki! Hello!
--Um, Momiji-*kun*, is that...
**[14:20] ---**
Yuki, thanks for picking her up again!
**[14:26] ---**
Momiji-*kun*'s decided what he
wants to do in the future.
**[14:31] ---**
Did he say that it might not be possible?
**[14:34] ---**
Huh? Oh, yes...
**[14:38] ---**
There are many things that
we continue to fight for.
**[14:44] ---**
Yuki-*kun*?
**[14:47] ---**
Yes?
**[14:50] ---**
Oh... it's nothing.
**[14:56] ---**
Good night.
**[14:58] ---**
Yes. Good night.
**[15:05] ---**
Kyo-*kun*, what are you doing?
**[15:08] ---**
I got hungry, so thought I'd eat some *somen*.
**[15:11] ---**
Shall I make it? I need to prepare
for tomorrow's breakfast anyway.
**[15:16] ---**
Okay, you make some dipping sauce. We're out.
**[15:19] ---**
Oh, what were you going to eat it with, then?
**[15:23] ---**
Soy sauce or something.
**[15:26] ---**
Would that taste good?
**[15:28] ---**
No way.
**[15:31] ---**
Is Shigure-*san* sleeping?
**[15:34] ---**
Dunno, I don't get his schedule.
**[15:39] ---**
I had a lot of fun at Shisho-*san*'s house!
**[15:41] ---**
--Did you?
--Yes!
**[15:44] ---**
Speaking of which, I thought it was
a shame that he cut his hair.
**[15:50] ---**
You think so? He's not a woman or anything.
**[15:54] ---**
Why do you think he cut it?
**[15:56] ---**
Why?
**[15:59] ---**
It was rather a superstitious habit.
**[16:01] ---**
And nobody will cry over its loss
like *someone* would've before.
**[16:05] ---**
He's just a doting parent!
**[16:09] ---**
What're you smiling for?
**[16:11] ---**
Nothing!
**[16:12] ---**
By the way, do you plan to take over
Shisho-*san*'s dojo in the future?
**[16:18] ---**
Might not be possible.
**[16:21] ---**
I'm possessed by the Cat.
So even if Shisho says it's okay,
**[16:26] ---**
the Soma family can deny me
if they don't consent.
**[16:29] ---**
If I mess up, I'll...
**[16:31] ---**
...until death.
**[16:36] ---**
Nah... don't worry about that.
It doesn't matter.
**[16:40] ---**
Anyway, as the Cat, when people ask
**[16:42] ---**
what my future plans and
career plans and stuff are...
**[16:45] ---**
It's like, "Do I even get to be part of society?
**[16:49] ---**
Will I actually get to live a normal life
and be equal to normal people?"
**[16:54] ---**
I'm at a loss just thinking about that stuff.
**[17:00] ---**
What's with that face?
**[17:03] ---**
We both know you've got
the same kind of worries.
**[17:07] ---**
Huh? I-I do?
**[17:10] ---**
Graduating high school and getting
a job to be independent
**[17:14] ---**
were things you decided for your mom's sake
when she was still around, right?
**[17:19] ---**
But she's not around anymore,
**[17:22] ---**
and I'm sure sometimes you worry
about your future on your own.
**[17:26] ---**
That's... not true...
**[17:31] ---**
I'm sure I'll get a good job...
and work hard...
**[17:37] ---**
What, then?
**[17:41] ---**
But, there are times when
uneasiness stirs within me.
**[17:46] ---**
Will I be able to find a job?
**[17:49] ---**
Will I really be able to make ends meet?
**[17:54] ---**
I think about how it'll be after graduation...
in three years... in ten years...
**[18:00] ---**
About how I'll need to
eventually leave this house...
**[18:04] ---**
When I start thinking about
those things too much,
**[18:08] ---**
I don't know who to turn to,
or what to say.
**[18:11] ---**
A vague anxiety swells up within me.
**[18:15] ---**
And I'm swept up by
an overwhelming uneasiness.
**[18:23] ---**
I see, this is what Yuki-*kun* wanted to tell me.
**[18:30] ---**
Don't... Don't, Kyo-*kun*.
**[18:34] ---**
Don't what?
**[18:36] ---**
When I'm deliberately ignoring things,
**[18:40] ---**
I need you to pretend
not to notice, or I'll go all weak.
**[18:45] ---**
I c-can't have this sobbing!
**[18:50] ---**
I'm used to your crying already.
Just don't let your nose drip.
**[18:54] ---**
Enough about me!
**[18:59] ---**
What I want to say is that
Shisho-*san* is waiting for you,
**[19:04] ---**
and if something is wrong,
**[19:06] ---**
I'm sure that you silently bottling it up
is painful and even more wrong, so--
**[19:13] ---**
Hey, you'll break it.
**[19:15] ---**
Okay, okay. I've got it. I understand.
**[19:19] ---**
Sheesh, why're you such a crybaby?
**[19:27] ---**
Wanna know something good?
**[19:29] ---**
Shigure-*san*, you were awake?
**[19:32] ---**
I *just* woke up.
**[19:34] ---**
Don't cry, Tohru-*kun*.
**[19:36] ---**
Kyo-*kun*, what are you doing in the corner?
**[19:39] ---**
It's on purpose! This guy's
definitely doing this on purpose!
**[19:42] ---**
You see, Tohru-*kun*,
if you get worried when you think,
**[19:46] ---**
it's best to just not think.
**[19:48] ---**
Huh?
**[19:49] ---**
Also, don't wipe your face with a rag next time.
**[19:53] ---**
Let's see, think of it this way.
**[19:55] ---**
You're surrounded by such a huge mountain
of laundry that you can't move an inch.
**[20:02] ---**
You have no washer,
and you have to wash it all by hand.
**[20:08] ---**
Would you get overwhelmed? You wonder
if you can really finish washing them,
**[20:13] ---**
if you can wash them clean, and if you're
capable of getting satisfactory results.
**[20:19] ---**
Whenever you think about it,
you get anxious. But time continues to tick by.
**[20:25] ---**
Now what should you do, Tohru-*kun*?
**[20:29] ---**
For the time being, you should wash
what's at your feet, don't you think?
**[20:35] ---**
It's important to think about what's ahead,
**[20:38] ---**
but it's also important to think of what
you can do now, in the present.

If you continue washing one
by one, before you know it...
**[20:51] ---**
...the sunlight will start
peeking through again.
**[20:55] ---**
The worry will still rise up in you sometimes,
but in those times, take a break.
**[21:01] ---**
Read a book, watch TV,
**[21:06] ---**
or eat *somen* with your friends.
**[21:11] ---**
Whoa! Amazing! Was that a great talk or what?
**[21:14] ---**
Aw, shucks, how considerate. You invite me
to join your *somen* meal as thanks?
**[21:18] ---**
Bastard, you just wanted to eat *somen*!
**[21:26] ---**
Honda-*san*?
**[21:28] ---**
Oh, good. I thought you might still be awake.
**[21:32] ---**
Um...
**[21:34] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[21:36] ---**
I... I've also been feeling anxious.
**[21:42] ---**
So, that's why... um...
**[21:48] ---**
Let's all eat *somen* together!
**[21:50] ---**
What?
**[21:52] ---**
Oh dear! Kyo-*chan*,
there's a legend that says
**[21:55] ---**
you'll turn into a perv if you eat pink *somen*!
**[21:57] ---**
--Like hell there is!
--Eek! Perv! Pervy-perv!
**[22:00] ---**
--Shut up!
--Low-life.
**[22:02] ---**
There's no legend, damn rat! I'll kill you!
**[22:06] ---**
A night full of worries...
**[22:10] ---**
...is best spent together in a warm place.
**[23:45] ---**
"Shall We Go and Get You Changed?"
**[23:47] ---**
Shall we go and get you changed?
