Tsukushi Makino...
Rui Hanazawa...
I'll have these two expelled within one week!
Expelled...?!
I'll do whatever it takes to get rid of you.
A-are you serious, Tsukasa? This is Rui you're talking about!
Shut up, and mind your own business!
Just a...
Wait...
Just a minute!
Wait, I said!
Why do we have to go away?
What gives you the right to do this, Tsukasa?
What...?
Don't look at me like that.
Don't look at me as though...
...you can see right through me.
Love's Tempest! Being Expelled!?
Hey, Tsukasa...!
Well, I guess that's it.
Huh?
His family has always made huge donations to Eitoku.
If he threatens to cut off the donations...
...they'll cut us loose in a flash.
Uh...Mom...
Oh, no! Another month in the red!
Dad, why haven't you gotten promoted?
I-it can't be helped. Times are hard.
It CAN be helped!
Today, I heard Mrs. Tanaka gossiping.
She said we're in over our heads, sending Tsukushi to Eitoku.
Er...uh... Actually, I'm going to...
But!
When I told her Tsukushi was dating the heir to Hanazawa Co,
her jaw dropped!
Even if we have to live on fumes,
we have to tighten our belts to send her on to Eitoku University.
Oh, Tsukushi... Were you going to say something?
No, not really... Good night.
I can't tell them.
There's no way...
I'm going to be expelled...
I'll have these two expelled within one week!
Well, I guess that's it.
What do you mean, "that's it"?
Why do things like this always happen to me?!
What's going on?!
It's you who should be expelled!
Enough already. I said I'd do it, and I will.
But to do it by threatening to cut off your parents' money!
Yeah...
We've had kids quit after receiving a red slip from us,
but the F4 has never had anyone expelled.
That's what was so cool about us.
And to replace Rui...
with this guy, of all things...?
Don't try to act cool!
Tsukasa, we don't need anyone to take Rui's place.
He's been one of us since we were kids.
Come on... forget this.
I can't forgive him. Especially because he's Rui.
Huh?
Do you think he really loves Tsukushi?
Huh?
I-I suppose he does...
The only girl he loves, to this day, is Shizuka.
Shizuka's about to get married.
Rui's just using Tsukushi to try to forget everything.
Tsukasa...you...
What's all this shouting about?
You're yammering like a bunch of kids! What's going on?
Talk to him, will you, Tsubaki? He...
Akira! If you say anything, you'll be sorry.
It's nothing. This has nothing to do with you.
Listen! Is that any way to talk to your big sister?
What's with this kid? He's frozen.
Huh?
You mean Tsukushi's going with Rui Hanazawa?
Tsukushi and Rui Hanazawa?
Tsukushi...?
What's wrong with him?
He's so depressing.
This has cleared things up for me.
For me, too.
Tsukasa's really fallen for Tsukushi.
Yeah...
But...I'm a little envious.
I've never fallen so hard for one girl.
Yeah... Rui's in big trouble.
Yeah. He'll be expelled, for sure.
Hey... where's the nouveau riche boy?
Forget about him.
You'll tell me what's going on,
won't you?
Er...uh...
Hey, did you hear?
It looks like Tsukushi's finally going to be expelled.
Really?
I'm surprised she lasted so long.
No one's lasted a month after being singled out by the F4.
Well, I'm delighted to be getting away from those nitwits.
Tsukushi...!
No! Sakurako...!
I heard...
You're being expelled?
I'll miss you.
You're smiling...
Even if you're expelled and out of luck,
let's get together sometime.
Yeah, right.
Tsukasa's gone to talk to the principal.
Yeah?
I guess it's finally time for the execution.
It's the end...
Tsu-Tsukasa...
Good-bye... Eitoku Academy...
You want to stop donating?
B-but...
I guess it's time to say good-bye...
There are nothing but bad memories.
But I loved that stairway.
Won't you reconsider it?
Good-bye...
Say... That woman...
She's that legendary '82 grad...
Tsukasa Domyoji's sister...
It's Tsubaki Domyoji!
Tsukasa...!
Really? Tsubaki Domyoji is here?
But why? Isn't she in America?
Wow! I've always wanted to meet her!
Why is Tsukasa's sister here?
How do you all know her?
Hello?! Earth to Tsukushi...
Tsubaki Domyoji...!
While she was in high school, she was a model in Paris.
She's extremely bright and she's multi-lingual.
And to top it all off...
She married a hotel magnate's heir while in college.
We idolize her even more than we do Shizuka.
And here at Eitoku Academy, she is...
...a legend!
I'm not sure if I get it, but she seems to be quite a woman.
It's a high-class thing. You wouldn't understand.
Don't touch her, Yuriko. You'll get cooties.
Hey, Yomogi!
Huh?
I'm glad you're here. Come with me.
What?! She knows Tsukushi?
Um, Tsubaki... My name is "Tsukushi"...
Expel Rui Hanazawa and Tsukushi Makino?
It's that simple.
Expel them and I'll keep on donating.
Makino might not be a problem, but Rui Hanazawa...
His father's very powerful...
It means nothing unless they're expelled together!
Listen to me... You know that hall you built with our money...?
I could tear it all down.
P-please...
So, what will it be?
Tsukasa!
S-sis!
W-what...? What are you doing...?
Being embarrassed! What kind of a coward are you?
Damn! Who told her?!
E-he-he... Sorry...
Kazuya! Damn you!
In any case, sir, please disregard this.
No way!
I want them out of here!
You'll be sorry if you do!
Keep out of this, Sis.
What's that?!
I'll leave this school.
You don't have to expel me.
I'll quit.
Are you satisfied?
Tsukushi, you can't! What are you going to tell your mom?
Shut up, Kazuya!
It's all right.
It was wrong for an ordinary girl like me...
...to enter this school, to begin with.
Tsukushi...
Everything will be all right if I'm not around, right?
That's what I'll do.
Again...
Why does he look at me like that?
Why...?
I won't allow Tsukushi to be expelled.
I caused this mess. I'll leave.
In that case, why don't you both quit?
Tsukasa...!
If you make Rui quit, I'll quit too.
Me, too.
What?!
If Tsukushi has to quit, then I'll quit too.
I've had enough! Whatever happened to the cool F4?
Wasn't our bond stronger than anything?
Are you guys planning to double-cross me?
Shut up!
You're a fine bunch of yammering, sniveling so-called friends.
I'm getting sick just listening to you.
Why don't you use sports to resolve your differences fairly?
S...
Sports...?
That's right.
A healthy friendship will grow from a healthy body.
Form two teams of three.
The losers will accept the demands of the winners.
No hard feelings.
A sports showdown?!
Among the F4...?
That's so uncool...!
That's the fairest way. Right...?
Three against three. I know, we'll call it three on three.
Three on three?
Basketball...
We divide up into threes and score as many baskets as we can.
Three on three...
Okay... Let's do it.
Tsukasa!
But if we win, you're going to be expelled.
J-just a minute... Three on three means...
Expelled...?
Let's practice, since we're here. The match is tomorrow!
Those three look great, but they might not play well at all.
They play well, alright.
Scouts came from all over when we were in junior high.
I'm not even gonna break a sweat.
We know who'll win.
But, for him...
Shoot!
We're goners.
It's an important match...
"lf he leads, all will be well."
Never mind being awed. Let's practice.
I'll support you.
I won't let them expel us. I have something I want to protect too.
Let's go.
Okay!
My heart has ricocheted between love's joy and love's pain.
And Tsukasa and Rui Hanazawa's hearts clashed...
The match that ends it all, is about to begin.
Next on Hana Yori Dango: "Two Ways to Love"
I will follow Rui Hanazawa.
That's my decision.
