Blood+

All alone in the darkness

I knew the meaning of your tears

I stepped towards where I wanted to be

But I didn't want to hurt anyone

The wind that crosses the ocean

Again heads towards tomorrow

Without hesitation

My heart won't move

What fate awaits me?

I don't want to regret being born

There is courage in sorrow

I believe I can grasp the light

The blue sky's tears rain down incessantly

Someday they'll change to a smile

What fate awaits me?

I don't want to regret being born

There is courage in sorrow

"FIRST KISS"

Come on, Saya, you can do it!

Oh, almost! You were so close!

You almost cleared it!

I mean really close!

If you get your butt just an inch higher,

you'll set a high school record.

- Kaori... - Come on.

Oh, your stomach's growling.

God, I'm starving.

What?

You know, Saya, if you ate a decent breakfast,

you'd probably do a lot better.

Well, maybe, but I never eat before I work out.

I like to stay light on my feet.

Give me a break, Saya, you're as thin as a rail.

And besides...

Besides what?

You can eat anything and never get fat,

so what's up with that?

Oh. I don't know.

Well, I just look at pizza and gain three pounds.

- Skinny minnie! - Hey, Kaori!

Stop! My lunch box!

That's one big airplane.

I think it's a U.S. bomber.

It's a bomber?

Yeah, a warplane.

I wonder if it's going to the battlefield.

You think so?

Maybe. It kind of scares me.

My friend's mom told me

that the bombers always take off from Okinawa,

ever since she can remember,

and my mom says we need the American base to survive,

but, you know, I'm not so sure.

I guess I really don't know what to think.

Oh, yeah, Saya, I keep forgetting.

You still can't remember anything beyond the past year, can you?

No, but it's just that airplane...

Somehow, it looks very familiar.

Saya!

Time to go to the clinic!

All right!

Oh, I'm so jealous. I wish I could ride with Kai.

Really? Why?

Because he's so cool!

You know every girl in school is after him.

I'm worried about him, Kaori.

He seems to be getting into a lot of fights at school lately.

He came home the other night

with all these cuts and bruises.

It kind of freaked me out.

He's a guy. What do you expect?

I don't like fighting.

Thanks for your help this morning.

You know, I wonder why he doesn't play baseball any more.

He used to play?

He used to be the star pitcher of our school team.

Really?

I had no idea.

So are you comin' or not?

Be right there!

Now, get to bed early,

and be sure to eat before the competition.

Okay. See you tomorrow!

Thanks for the ride.

Sure, not a problem.

I'll just take the bus home, okay?

Cool.

Kai, I hear you used to play baseball.

Yeah, I quit right before you came to live with us.

You'd think that after living with you guys for a year,

I'd know a lot more about you.

Hey, the past is the past.

Like Dad always says, Saya, we're a family now,

even if we're not really related by blood.

You're right.

So, you want to take the highway or the scenic route?

The ocean.

Have you located the mice?

We've expanded the search area,

but there's still no sign yet, sir.

We're doing our best to find the mice.

But there is a limit to the number of officers

we can assign to this.

I'm sure you understand all this, Monsieur...

Argiano. Vin Argiano.

I'm sure you're not thrilled to be taking orders from me,

but it is clearly your fault that the mice have escaped,

and I'm quite confident your superiors would agree with me.

If they're not found soon, heads will roll,

starting with yours, Commander.

I'm aware of that.

Very well, then.

If I were type "B," where would I hide?

Probably in Koza.

Koza?

In Okinawa City, right?

Next up--serial killer strikes again in the Nago district.

According to local police,

the female victim was attacked and killed with a sharp blade,

but because very little blood was found

at the site where the body was discovered,
