I take it back - everything I ever did or said to you.
Don't ever talk to me again.
Nothing you say can stop me from making him mine.
There's no turning back now.
I'll do as Tsukasa said, and forget anything happened.
A Bewildering First Date!
Tsukushi, why are you all dressed up? Got a date?
Yes. I'm going out for a while.
Really? With Tsukasa?
Well, isn't that just grand?!
No, not him.
Not him? Then, who?
Tell me. With who? With who?
You're not stringing two boys along, are you?
Who is it?
Leave me alone!
It's Rui Hanazawa! Do you have a problem with that?
Nope!
Is he the only son of the president of Hanazawa & Co.?
Wow! Dear...!
She'll be marrying into a fortune no matter who she picks!
Good for you, Tsukushi!
Dear, she'll be marrying into a fortune! A fortune! Hurray!
Hello...
Been waiting long?
N-no... I just got here.
Rui Hanazawa... Your hair!
Oh, I cut it yesterday. It was getting too long.
It looks great on you!
It was nice long, but this short style suits you.
Don't go on about it. It's embarrassing.
My...
He has such nice features.
Tsukasa's handsome too, but that hairstyle is laughable.
What am I thinking! Forget all about him!
I'm going to have fun on this date.
Where are we going, Rui Hanazawa?
Is there anywhere special you want to go?
No... What about you?
No... me either...
Now, it's my turn.
I wonder what that is...
Take that...!
That's nothing!
Is this a game?
It tells fortunes, too. Looks fun.
But I'm almost through this month's allowance already...
I'll take this.
I'm so happy! Oh, thank you!
I'll keep it forever and ever!
Don't make such a big deal out of a toy.
It's my first gift from Rui Hanazawa.
I'd even treasure a pebble from him.
I know...!
I'll let this tell us where to go.
Rui Hanazawa, put your finger here.
The ocean...?
Wow...!
There are places like this even in Tokyo?
Rui Hanazawa hasn't said a word.
I should say something...
but there's something about him that's making me tense.
I never thought dating could be so nerve-wracking.
Look over there!
Isn't that where Shizuka's poster was?
How nostalgic!
Yes, and this is where Rui Hanazawa kissed it.
So tenderly...
The whole scene looked like a painting.
Shizuka was so pretty.
Tsukushi...
Would you please not talk about Shizuka?
Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
I'm so thoughtless!
You don't have to apologize so much.
Oh! What a fool I am!
This is the first time I'm out with a girl.
I was always with those three...
I'm sorry if I'm boring.
Rui Hanazawa...
Now that I think about it, they're the only friends I had.
Of course, it's the same for them.
You've got a better personality than any of the F4.
You'll make friends in no time.
After all, birds of an F4 flock together.
Not bad!
I think I deserve a prize!
What for?
Huh? Well, you see... I took the F4, and...
Oh, a pun...
Yikes. I guess he doesn't get jokes like this.
Listen... Rui's fine.
You always call me by my full name.
Just call me Rui.
Umm... Then, I'd better practice.
Rui!
Rui, Rui!
Don't call me for no reason.
Let me try it again. Rui...?
Rui...
Forget it, forget it!
Ouch...
Are you all right?
Boy, is this embarrassing...
I'm okay.
Uh, Rui...
Oh, come on! Yell at me or something!
There's nothing as embarrassing as going through this alone.
Oh... What happened to your nose?
I had a little accident.
Oh...?
If it were him...
S-stupid! What in the hell are you doing?
Oh well, then... Hold on to me.
No thanks! My arm would rot.
You're the only one I'll let speak to me like that!
We walked together that morning, in snowy Omotesando.
He had waited four hours for me, in the snow.
He had snow on his head.
Since then, I began to notice his feelings for me.
But I pretended not to see.
Now I know... Just how much he felt for me.
And just how much I hurt him.
Tsukushi...?
Oh geez...
Just daydreaming...
I-I'll go and buy us some French fries, too.
Why does this happen...?
Why do I keep thinking about Tsukasa?
I just told myself I'd forget everything about him!
Yes... Rui Hanazawa asked me out for the first time.
That kiss...
I'm here.
His cool hand on mine made me so happy I could die.
Oh, the lock!
Oh, were you in here?
You should lock the door.
He saw me...!
Quit crying, will you?
B-but... You saw me...
Let me get this straight. It wasn't my fault.
It was your fault for not locking the door.
It's no big deal. Everyone poops.
I wasn't pooping, I was peeing!
No...!
This is awful!
Funny. You're really funny!
I like you even more.
Let's go somewhere where we can be alone.
Quit following me!
What's with you, tailing me all morning!
I'll slap you!
Well, when I started wondering what you were doing,
I couldn't sit still and do nothing.
Quit acting so girly! Girls like you give me the creeps.
Don't think you can trap me by acting like that. Moron!
You mean, you prefer someone like Tsukushi?
Then, I'll become more like her!
I'll walk like a guy and laugh out loud.
Then, would you...?
If you ever mention her name in front of me again,
I'll fix it so no amount of plastic surgery will help you.
Wow! What in the world is this behind this gate?
It looks like an ancient mansion.
"What in the world"...? It's my home.
Sorry it looks so ancient.
This is amazing!
I didn't know anyone lived in houses like this anymore.
Well, it's not mine. It's my dad's.
There's nothing great about it.
You're so humble, Rui Hanazawa.
This is how Tsukasa would act...
Well, how do you like it? This is my house.
Isn't it great?
A peon like you rarely ever sees a house like this!
Well, his house is really grand.
There I go again...
I'm home.
Welcome home, Master Rui.
Oh, a guest...?
H-hello...
It's unusual for Master Rui to bring anyone besides Miss Shizuka.
Oh... What a simple room!
Sit on the bed. The floor is too cold.
Uh...okay...
Am I asking for trouble?
I doubt he'd do it, but what if he decides to push me down...
How about looking at...
...some albums?
A-albums...?
Yes! I'd love to!
How cute! This looks like a mini Rui Hanazawa.
Tsukasa! He looks like trouble.
Say, was Sojiro girl crazy even back then?
Akira looks very different today.
Shizuka...
She was a part of the group from this early age.
And Rui has liked her ever since they were little.
I... I could never compete with such a long history.
It's only natural... And I knew all along...
I can never call him just "Rui" like Shizuka does.
Wait a minute! What's going on?
Rui Hanazawa! I'm not...!
Huh...? He's asleep.
For Pete's sake! I'm such a fool.
He looks like an angel, sleeping there.
Would you please cover him up? I'm going home.
My! Master Rui...!
Hey! How long do you intend to follow me?
Go on home!
But I love you!
Ever since I was little...
Don't you remember an ugly little girl...
...telling you she loved you when you were in elementary school?
Ugly, ugly, ugly dog!
That...was me...
You? You were that kid?
Do you know how it feels to be called names by someone you love?
After my plastic surgery in Germany, I swore vengeance.
I'd make you fall madly in love with me, then dump you. But...!
When I saw you at Eitoku, I realized that I still loved you.
When I look at you, I feel like I'm looking at myself.
That's a warped way of expressing affection...
Rui probably got nervous doing something he wasn't used to.
So did I. I'm exhausted.
How creepy, huh?
You're right.
Tsukasa! Why's he talking to Sakurako?
You should always be like that.
Huh? Be like what?
Just be natural.
Don't be so girly.
Just who is being "girly"?! You jerk!
How's that?
Yes. That's more like it.
Oh, my...
Why are they laughing?
That... That was where I belonged...!
What a beauty!
I thought she looked familiar... She's Tsukasa's sister!
I'm not supposed to see Tsukasa.
But his sister has brought me to their home!
I've got to get out of here!
Next on Hana Yori Dango: "The Arrival of Tsubaki Domyoji!"
I have no right to see him.
