Fruits Basket 1st Season

Oh, Tohru-kun, your miso soup is so good.

Thank you.

When Yuki-kun and I were living alone, we never ate a proper breakfast.

Good morning, Kyo-kun!

Morning!

Hurry up and eat, or we'll leave you behind.

U-Um, don't you want breakfast?

No.

But...

You can forget him.

I wonder what's wrong?

I'd almost forgotten what it was like to always have you with me

You were always by my side

Giving my life meaning

Goodbye until we meet again

I'll say thank you with a smile

Oh please, keep being the person closest to me

My heart only needed you to be strong

I know that my path to tomorrow

Is right here with you again

"Fruits Basket"

Huh?

There's only one.

That ain't right. I thought for sure I'd get to see it in the Prince's shoebox.

See what?

A big mountain of chocolates spilling out. You know, like in a manga.

Oh, yeah!

I get it.

Something similar to the cuckoo phenomenon must have happened.

Just as a cuckoo chick will take over a shrike's nest and dump out its eggs,

each girl here has tossed away the previous girl's chocolates

in order to draw attention to her own.

In that trash can lies the proof.

You're right!

Jeez, that's mean.

And I am the hawk which swoops in to seize the final chocolates.

U-Um, but those are Yuki-kun's...

Today is February 13th.

Valentine's Day is on a Saturday, so today will be the big day at school.

Kyo-kun!

Yo.

Hi.

Ky-- Kyo-kun!

He's unleashing his combativeness early this morning.

No... his waves are uncharacteristically innocent today.

"Innocent"?

His thoughts are chaotic.

Still, it's none of my affair.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble for Tohru-kun.

Good enough for me.

We shall give them to Yuki-kun.

We shall!

Duh. Obviously.

To Yuki-kun!

Girls are scary this time of year.

They look ready to just pounce people from the shadows.

This might be the scariest event of the year for the zodiac.

Kyon-chan!

Here, I'll give you some chocolates!

O-Okay...

Wow, Kyo-kun is popular, too.

What a player. And she called him "Kyon-chan"!

Are you giving those two chocolates, too?

Yes! And I'd like to give some to Shigure-san and the others, too.

I'll give you two yours on Monday!

I look forward to it.

Thanks!

Way to go, Kyon-Kyon!

I'm jealous!

Is today...

...Valentine's Day?

Huh? I mean, technically it's tomorrow, but--

I'm going home.

No, it'll be dangerous there, too.

A trip! Right, I'll go on a trip!

I'm going to disappear for a while!

So you wanna skip my homeroom, eh?

Shiraki-sensei...

You punk teacher!

Say what? You think you can get away with calling me names, Carrots?

I'm ready to dye your hair black any. Time. You. Want.

I got the "Gray Away" right here!

"Gray Away"

Go sit down if you don't want a makeover.

What's gotten into Kyo-kun?

It seems more serious than being scared of the girls...

Maybe he has a really bad Valentine's Day memory?

Is something wrong, Kyo-kun?

Kagura-san!

Kyo-kun...

Kyo-kun!

Crap, I knew she'd come!

Love!

Je t'aime!

I figured.

Ah, this was about wanting to avoid Kagura-san.

It's Valentine's, after all.

This is an important event for couples.

There's no couple here.

Kyo-kun, cut the commentary.

Dammit, I should've fought my way out this morning.

So, did you give him chocolates?

Nope. I came today to invite him out.

Let's spend the day together tomorrow, okay?

I want to give you your chocolates tomorrow, too...

--Say what?! --Wow!

Does that mean it'll be a date?

O-Oh, Tohru-kun, you're so silly!

No way. Nope, not going.

We're doing this.

I said no! Why should I have to do that?!

And with you!

You're so mean... Would it kill you to be a little nicer?

Don't cry!

Sheesh. If you're going to flirt, could you do it somewhere else?

Why, you--!

I know! How about this?

--Yuki-kun, here's your tea. --We'll bring Yun-chan and Tohru-kun

--Thank you. --and make it a double date!

Hey, nice idea!

I know, right?

W-Wait a second!

I'm not going out with damn Yuki!

Wow!

"She looks incredibly happy."

I-I-I've never been on a date before! Y-You wouldn't mind?!

Fine, whatever.

I'll see you tomorrow. Exciting, right?

Nope.

Listen, Haru-chan told me that

you and Yun-chan are starting to get along.

He says maybe if you get to know each other more, you can get along even better.

That would make me happy, too.

Bye-bye!

Very perceptive of Haa-kun!

The first thing people need to learn to do is compromise with each other.

What are you getting at?

You'd better not be joining the "Yuki and Kyo are friends" bandwagon.

Screw that crap about "getting to know each other more"!

I hate Yuki, got it?!

And that doesn't need to change!

Why do you talk like it's your duty to hate him, I wonder?

With eyes

that say you're afraid of getting to know him.

Kyo-kun!

Kyo-kun, wait, please!

Hmm?

What happened?

Well, I got a teensy bit impatient, and I maybe pushed him too far.

K-Kyo-kun?

Where are you?

He really did look afraid...

Um...

Kyo-kun--

It's like he's doing his best to protect something by hating Yuki-kun.

Protect what? Himself?

Forget it.

Just forget what happened

back there.

It's got nothing to do with you.

Just leave it.

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

I did want you to get along.

But...

But it's fine if you hate him.

It's really fine.

It's plain as day, Kyo-kun.

You have a plum right there on your back.

You're great, Kyo-kun.

Yeah.

I don't want to see.

I don't want to think about anything.

Not yet.

Kyo-kun's heart is so much more delicate than he makes it seem...

And so is Yuki-kun's...

Just touching them might bruise them.

We're going out tomorrow.

But would you rather not go on a date?

Whatever, it's only once.

I can handle it.

Okay.

Ow!

Huh? What was that for?

Nothing.

Let's hurry back.

The pain they hold inside... the hurt and anxiety...

I hope I can wipe it all away someday.

The same way they did for me.

Because I want them to be happy, too.

I dreamed about the one I love.

From that moment, it was all over for me.

Sensei!
