Fruits Basket 1st Season

I heard it was suicide.

Poor thing.

If only she hadn't given birth to the child with the Cat spirit.

--Shut up. --That child isn't even crying.

Even though he's the one who drove her to kill herself.

Shut up!

It's not my fault!

It's not my fault at all!

That's right.

I understand.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kazuma Soma.

It's not my fault!

It's not my fault!

--It's not my-- --It's okay.

It's okay. I understand.

Kyo, will you come live with me?

"Fruits Basket"

I'm glad to see you're well, Kazuma-dono.

I'm delighted to hear your work is so successful, Shigure-kun.

It's going okay.

Thank you very much.

It's nothing.

Kyo-kun told me about him before. He's his--

Shihan.

It's nice to see you after so long.

Yes, and you. It's been a while, Kagura.

Shihan, it's... good to see you.

Well, look how tall you are. You've grown, Yuki.

Tohru-kun.

This is Kazuma Soma.

He's Kyo-kun's shisho, as well as the instructor

who taught Yuki, Kagura, Haa-kun, and the others martial arts.

Oh, I see.

May I call you "Tohru-san"?

Oh, y-yes!

Pleased to meet you. I-I'm Tohru Honda!

I've heard much about you.

And I hear that you know about the zodiac spirits?

Ah, yes.

I see.

Kyo-kun. Why don't you get out of the corner and greet him?

You haven't seen him since your mountain seclusion, right?

Aren't you happy to see him again?

I--

Kyo-kun...?

Which room belongs to Kyo?

Um, it's upstairs to the right.

I can take you.

No, thank you. I can find it.

That's so like him.

Right?

What do you mean?

You see, Kyo-kun is actually really happy to see him,

but he doesn't want to show us that.

Especially not Yun-chan.

Kyo. I'm coming in.

Shisho. Sorry for being rude.

It's okay. I understand.

Welcome back.

Welcome back, Shisho!

I'm back.

So Shisho-san is not one of the zodiac members?

No, but he is from the main family.

They say Shihan's grandfather had the Cat spirit before Kyo-kun.

So Shihan may be the one who best understands Kyo-kun's situation.

But it's always seemed like more than that, like he really loves Kyo-kun.

As a real father would.

A real father...

You're done with your training journey, then?

That's right. I can't leave the dojo any longer than this.

Then... Then, that means I can go back to the dojo, too!

That's what you promised, right?

You will continue to live here.

Wait, you're breaking your promise?

Are you scared of Akito, too?

That's not it.

It's because I judged this place the best environment for you.

Whether her living with you was coincidence or fate,

if she can be a comfort to you...

Shisho!

I don't like this place!

It's like I'm sitting in a lukewarm bath, and my skin's getting pruny.

Sometimes...

Sometimes...

I hate it so much, I can barely stand it.

I never asked to be comforted!

I hate it!

I don't think that's it.

It's not "hate"...

Shihan, you'll be staying the night, right?

I'm staying the night, too!

What the heck? Go home!

Aw!

Where should we lay out Shisho-san's futon?

In Shigure-san's room?

No, definitely not.

I think Kyo-kun's room would be best.

-What? He can just sleep in here--

--I'll go ask. --What? He can just sleep in here--

Oi!

Kyo-kun, I'm sure you have so much to tell him.

Not really.

Oh, yes!

Um, if possible, I would love to see you and Shisho-san

do what you call "going a few rounds" some time!

Tonight...

...I will remove it. I apologize in advance

for the commotion it will cause.

Oh, dear...

What made you decide this so suddenly?

Today, when I saw how he looks at her...

I thought, perhaps she stands a chance of opening his heart.

And perhaps she will accept him.

Either way, I feel it best to find out now rather than later.

Even you choose to entrust everything to her?

However, you can't be certain that it will succeed.

Even if she does accept him, it's likely that Kyo will reject that.

And this time, he may well break for good.

He may come to despise even you. He may never smile at you again.

Are you willing to bet on such long odds?

Whoa, look at this. How'd this even happen?

Shisho, you're really not so great at this.

Yeah... I definitely need more training.

Even so...

Even so, I'll take my chances...

...on her.

Do you have some time tonight?

Hm? Yes...

Shisho, couldn't we have talked inside?

You know I feel lousy on days like this.

My grandfather was the same.

I heard he was often ill on rainy days.

Because of the Cat spirit?

Or because your true form's spirit hates the rain?

It's about time you fully accept your true form,

--or you won't be able to move forward-- --I do accept it!

I accept that...

...being born with the Cat spirit meant my life was already over.

And that it's that rat's--it's his fault.

That he was the cause of all this!

It's his fault! It's all because of him!

I'll kill him, then I'll die, too!

Then you'll be satisfied, right?!

If I die, too, that'll satisfy you, right?!

You haven't changed.

Do you plan to keep living this way?

Plugging your ears, closing your eyes...

Concealing everything beneath your hate for Yuki.
