"Mido"
Is someone here?
Anyone home?
How did this happen to the Mido household?
It's just a human.
What is it?
A meal.
Kouhei...
W- what on earth is wrong?
Kitty ears
Kitty ear mode
It's kitty ear mode!
Kitty ear mode
It's kitty ear mode!
Kitty ear mode
Meow
M-meow
Full, full, full moon
Kiss... Big Brother
Kiss... It's a promise
Kiss... My slave
Kiss

It's kitty ear mode!
Kitty ear mode
It's kitty ear mode!
Kiss... I want to...
It's not just Marumido... but this place, too.
What's going on?
She looks familiar.
That's right, she was here before.
It's been a while since I've had prey.
S- stay away! You monster!!
Kouhei, what are you saying?
Hazuki!
Yayoi-sama?
Listen to me calmly.
Kouhei is... afraid of you.
Huh?!
"Episode 23" "Brother, Am I that Strange?"
Don't you lay a hand on her.
I'll yell if you do.
No matter. I'll have my fangs in her before she can even run.
What's happening?
Princess, well...
Damn it!
You'll be screwed if I die!
You need me as your hostage!
You intend to barter with us?
Huh?!
Things like this... are such a pain.
Princess?
If you want to die, I can help you.
From where shall I suck your blood?
You're not afraid of me, are you?
You said you would protect me!
Maybe something terrible is happening to the entire Mido family.
Princess, please understand, in order to get back Miss Luna, we need her alive.
Here I am, wondering what rudely interrupted my meal...
All this interference by a mere hostage!
Ow, you're hurting me!
Why?
Why what?!
Why did you try to protect that woman?
You can't drag in an innocent bystander!
I don't understand. Who cares what happens to others?
Of course you wouldn't understand... Since you're a vampire!
I knocked him unconscious with my "ki," I hope he's calm when he wakes up.
What happened to Kouhei?
We removed the seal and opened up Kouhei's Jyougan.
As you know, with its power, one can see that which cannot be seen.
What Kouhei saw and now fears was most likely... the fate which you hold.
Huh?
The fate of being a vampire...
The evil, the sins, and your cursed past and destiny. All that which lies within you.
My... destiny?
Because of that, although Kouhei wants to protect you,
at the same time you have become this fearful monster that threatens his very life.
I...
I don't know anything about such destiny.
This is the most difficult period...
Got it! There!
Oh? Are you by yourself, Kaoru?
Where's Hazuki-chan?
I haven't shown Kouhei this place yet...
I've never seen such a look in his eyes...
If it weren't for me, Kouhei wouldn't have suffered...
All this time, because of me... he's suffered so much.
And yet, he was always, always there for me.
Kouhei...
Should you ever care deeply for or fall in love with someone,
do not to seal a pact in blood with him...
Mother, is this?
This is your fault.
Humans around us... Shall all be cursed and perish...
Stop it!!
That thing I saw... was it Hazuki, after all?
What's happening to me?
All these things that happened until now are spinning around in my head.
From the first moment I met her, I've never forgotten her.
She's so bratty, and yet, so precious.
I want to be by her side, and I've tried desperately...
But, I r-realize now... Just how horrifying this really is!
This goes way beyond just life and death!
I thought I knew that, but in fact, I didn't! I...
Those who possess Jyougan must face such horrors...
As of yet, no one has been able to overcome it.
However, you sought to attain Jyougan yourself.
You must accept and overcome this terror.
You must be strong, Kouhei!
I... I...
It's reckless for Kou-kun to wield such power...
But without that power, we'll surely lose... And to think, that power is right before us!
That power... The power of Jyougan...
"Jyougan"...It sure must be something...
I suppose then, I can't wait until the next full moon...
What are you doing?
Standing next to you makes me want to puke.
Huh?!
From this point forth, I shall operate on my own.
Where are you going?
Arte-sama, I shall take a leave of absence.
How dare you be so rash.
You can go earn brownie points by baby-sitting.
I, however, will seek the Master's approval in other ways...
Damn you!
They're splitting up?
Jeda...
Huh?
To the very end, you never played with me...
Huh?
Well, Arte-sama, please excuse me.
Huh?
Bleah!
It sure got quiet.
I don't need Jeda.
Huh?
The two of us can handle Luna.
Your friend's gone, and you're fighting with your sibling...
Is this what being a vampire is all about?
You said you didn't care about others,
but don't you care what happens with your sibling?
If you keep this up, you really will be all alone.
Soon...
Huh?
...I'll make Luna all alone, too.
Kouhei...
- This is your fault. - Huh?
We're in terrible danger right now.
It's too great of a risk to keep protecting you.
At this rate... We will perish. And it will be your fault.
Seiji niisama...
Won't you return... to your kind?
My kind?
To that loathsome tribe of vampires.
Everyone in this house is hurting right now.
This is all a trial.
Are you willing to say that in front of those children?
That's not my concern.
Is that so? However...
Every time Kouhei's heart hurts, this amulet digs into your flesh...
And what good is this? This may ease your conscience,
but if Kouhei falls apart and Hazuki loses sight of herself,
all this will be for naught.
I'm going home.
You must be aware already.
You're too different from us. It's impossible to be together.
Move it.
You're... not human.
Let me be frank. There's no place for you in this house. In this house of humans.
Everyone, including myself, doesn't want to accept you.
Rather, we want you to get out!
But... but, but!
"But," what?
Kouhei said!
I'm trying my best because I have you.
So... at least Kouhei wants me here!
Take a good look at Kou-kun now. Who does he fear most?
W- well...
Isn't it you?
Stop it, Seiji.
Kouhei will overcome this. He must overcome.
And when he does, I'm sure he and Hazuki...
Yayoi-sama...
The pain that you have had, the impact of Kouhei's trauma...
Were you able to foresee these?
Please tell me the truth.
What Hazuki-chan had to shoulder...
I didn't realize how much of a burden it was...
We must acknowledge our mistakes.
Even if they were made with the best intentions for Kouhei-san.
I am thinking of using the "power."
But, that's not... You could die using it!
There is no other way.
If there's something that we could do for you...
Huh?! This aura...
It seems the barrier has been broken!
Stay by Kouhei's side!
B- but!
Please!
The trees are possessed!
Kyu-kyu-nyo-ritsu-ryo!
Please, spirits!
It's endless... Hazuki, lend me your strength!
Huh?!
Kouhei's blood!
B- but... Kouhei's present condition...
I told him he must overcome his fears.
Kouhei himself knows this...
Go now!
Yes!
Oh, no!
Huh?
Who's there?
You must hurry!
Y- yes!
This is in return for saving our lives!
It should be returned with interest, at least!
Who does he fear most?
Kouhei will overcome this.
You will accept me, won't you, Kouhei?
We're under attack! Slave!
So that's what this was... this premonition... The enemy!
What are you doing at this critical time?! Won't you lend a hand?
That... that's right... Can't be trembling...
I've got to go do... my part...
Kouhei...
I do not see Miss Luna.
So, it's you!
Resistance is futile.
Seiji!
If you'd handed Hazuki over quietly, none of this would have happened.
So you were possessed...
Hazuki, where are you?!
Kouhei?!
The enemy is coming...
Yayoi-sama and others are fighting them off, but at this rate...
so... we have to kiss...
Kouhei!
Are you... Are you that afraid of me?!
At a time like this?!
From the beginning, this was a one-man job.
Now, I can go seek the Master's approval.
Miss Luna!
Return peacefully! Then, I can let these humans go.
I'm jeopardizing everyone again...
Kouhei.
Hey, do you remember? The first time we met?
I wanted to see my mother and get out of that castle...
But Kouhei, you wouldn't listen to me at all.
Even when things didn't go your way,
you stayed by me, complaining and bickering...
Even now, things still aren't going your way...
But... If I say this, Mother might get mad, but...
I... realized I wasn't so lonely anymore without her.
With Grandfather Ryuuhei, Elfriede, Hikaru and Kaoru, Grandma...
I had everyone with me.
Had I been an ordinary girl... I might have been able to say this sooner...
Thank you for everything...
I love you... Kouhei.
This is for Kouhei... Since I couldn't give it to him myself...
Hazuki-chan...
Don't bother them anymore.
I'm going back to "my kind."
"Hazuki"
"to be continued"
This sorrowful premonition the moon is reflecting...
To where will it continue?
This watch without hands I gave to you,
like a sweet dream I can't wake from,
it has stopped.
Already the glittering day fades...
Ornamented with lies, it continues,
a broken and dying future.
This sorrowful premonition
that a painful memory will someday torture me.
At the horizon of the dream you're pursuing
will you need me?
I sense...
Big Brother... Heh-heh... Come play a riddle with me!
From what can you take away two circles and turn a man into a woman?
Hiromi neesama got this one right away!
Full-full-full-moon!
Next on Moonphase: "Good-bye, Brother... I'm Going Back? I'm Really Going Back?"
The correct answer is "Papa." ("Papa" minus 2 circles is "haha" meaning "mother")
"Episode 24" "Good-bye, Brother... I'm Going Back? I'm Really Going Back?"
Well, stay warm and go to sleep!
"Episode 24" "Good-bye, Brother... I'm Going Back? I'm Really Going Back?"
