Fruits Basket 1st Season

Excuse me...

Is it true...

...that Kyo-kun is here?

My name is Ka... Kagura Soma.

Kyo-kun is here wrestling with some chives right now.

May I help--

He...

He came back!

--Kyo-kun! --E-Er--

She's very cute.

No, that's not the important thing! Since she's a Soma, could it be that...

Yuki-kun.

Kyo-kun will die if you don't stop soon.

Kyo-kun!

Hi there.

K-Kagura?

Kyo-kun...

Where have you been for four months?

Why didn't you tell...?

I... I... missed...

I missed you!

Huh?

"Fruits Basket"

I missed you!

I was worried, you jerk!

Time to replace the doors.

Why is everyone so fond of breaking my house?

U-Um...

Oh, don't worry about it. That's just how Kagura expresses affection.

You know how little kids harass people they like? Same thing here.

I see...

But, er, she seems to have completely changed personalities...

She gets like that when her emotions are running high. Especially with Kyo.

She may not act like it, but she's two years older than us.

And she's part of the zodiac.

I knew it! What year is she?

I think you'll get it if you watch her for a while.

I get that Kyo-kun's life is in danger...

Uh-oh.

Kyo-kun! Tell me this isn't happening!

You're all beat up...!

Who did this terrible thing?!

That would be you.

It's cold in here.

Yes, it is.

I'm sorry. I was so happy to see Kyo-kun again,

I forgot to hold back my enthusiasm.

She's like a different person than before.

But it was partly your fault, Kyo-kun.

You disappeared for four months and didn't even call me.

Why should I have to call you?

Well, because I'm your future wife.

When did that happen?!

I didn't know you had a fiancée! How wonderful!

It must be a relief that someone is willing.

--Congratulations. --You guys aren't helping!

Kyo-kun, you told me when we were little that you'd marry me!

Only because you were threatening my life!

Why don't you want to?

Marrying another animal spirit is the best shot at happiness.

We can share our suffering, and most importantly...

...we don't transform when we hug.

Wow, you don't!

See? I can hug Yun-chan, too!

I should have realized before. Why don't you transform?

We don't know. But there are two more female members of the zodiac,

and we've established that they don't trigger our transformations, either.

There are two more girls?! Oh my gosh!

Want to know what years they are?

Mmm... No, thank you!

Would you mind if I savor the excitement of thinking it over?

That's very you.

Anyway!

Things usually don't go well when we marry normal people of the opposite sex!

Right, Shii-chan?

Hmm, true. I suppose there might be a lot of problems.

It's difficult for us to have normal company jobs,

and most importantly, transforming every time they hold you would be rough.

--The s-- --Crude.

Kyo-kun.

Today's the day to come out and say it! Do you like me, or not?!

--Huh?! --I like you!

I like you best in the world! I love you best in the universe!

For you, I'd cook good food every day, and I'd forgive affairs as momentary lapses!

--Wai-- --However you look at it,

it's clear that I'm the only one who loves you this much!

I'm sure I'm the only one! Don't you agree?!

I said, don't you agree?!

Kyo-kun loses his assertiveness with girls, huh?

Ah, but you like him, too, don't you, Tohru-kun? You're a Cat fan.

--No way! A rival?! --Pardon?

--But I won't lose! The power of my love can overcome any obstacle!

--U-Um... --But I won't lose! The power of my love can overcome any obstacle!

Tohru-kun, what do you like about Kyo-kun? I like all of him! All of him!

--Oi. --I accept his good points and his bad points!

Even if he turns into his true form,

I'll accept it without--

That's enough.

"True form"?

Say one more uncalled-for word, and I'll make you pay.

How the hell will you "make me pay"?!

I wonder what she meant by "true form."

But whatever the case,

I think Kagura-san is really bursting with love for Kyo-kun.

I haven't felt my first love yet,

and the fact that she can love someone so much...

Kyo-kun, I'm here to wash your back!

Aw, you're so shy!

...makes me feel a little jealous.

Dammit. Why am I doing this?

No complaining. You're partially at fault here.

I'm not even slightly at fault!

Start pitching in, you damn rat!

No. Can't you even clean up your own messes, you stupid cat?

-Say what?! Fight me, right now!

--Hey, Kyo-kun! --Say what?! Fight me, right now!

Yeah?

Look, look!

That's cute!

Quit playing around! This is all your--

I know it's a little early, but why don't I start making dinner?

Wait just a minute!

Yes?

I'll cook!

What? Why you?

For my beloved Kyo-kun!

All right, I'll help you!

Don't worry, I can do it myself.

Look forward to dinner, okay, Kyo-kun?

Kyo-kun, you fix the door, okay?

Wow!

This is amazing!

You're a great cook, Kagura-san.

Hee-hee!

It's amazing, but how many people were you planning to feed?

The fridge is empty...

I was so excited to feed my beloved Kyo-kun, I got carried away.

Speaking of Kyo-kun, where did he go?

--Probably upstairs. --I'll go get him!

Kyo-kun, dinner is ready.

Don't want any.

Why not? Your stomach was grumbling earlier.

Was not.

I made a lot, because I knew you were hungry.

Don't want any!

But there are lots of things you like.

Lay off! I already said I won't eat it!

But I... I... I wanted to feed you...

...so I worked my very hardest!

Ky... Kyo-kun!

A-Are you all right?!

Sheesh. The food is ruined.

Kyo-kun!

Why do they all break my house?

I'm sorry. I'll make more right away.

With what? The fridge is empty.

Ow...

Just go home already.

Kagura-san! I--

Wait.

I'll go.

Where are you off to?

Shopping.

Now?

The roads are dangerous at night.

Hey, Shii-chan. Do you think I could live here, too?

It worries me that there's a girl around Kyo-kun.

You already know you can't.

Apparently, you don't understand girls' anxieties.

Even I get jealous sometimes, actually.

Should I order delivery?

Katsudon for me.

P-Please, wait!

That'll be 3,716 yen.

Right.

Here you go, sir.

Um, can I help you carry that?

I'm fine.

Tohru-kun...

Y-Yes?!

Do you like Kyo-kun?

Er, if it's a yes or no question, then of course I like him, but...

I've loved the Cat in the zodiac story ever since I was little.

So...

I guess you could say I'm a Year of the Cat fan.
