It is the 22nd year of the new Holy Era.
With the fall of the previous age brought about by human folly...
lawlessness runs rampant and disorder rules the world.
But here in Shinjuku, the City of Beasts...
any creature who would harm another...
must contend with us, one and all.
Our wild blood runs hot tonight!
Hyper Police to the rescue!
HYPER POLICE
Till you make up your mind I won't let you go
I'm gonna make you feel the pull of my charms
What gives spice to romance
Is the endless thrill of playing the game
My heart soars where none has ever gone before
When you've finally seen
That I'm your number one then hurry, hurry
Reach across time and take me in your arms
We'll always be together forever and a day
Together eternity's within our reach
I wonder if Natsuki's going to be all right.
Losing her house has to wreak havoc on her territorial instincts.
Her father's human, though...
so the government will probably help her with the house.
The question is: Where can she go tonight?
Especially after Sakura and her family took off like that.
How about letting her stay at your place awhile, Tommy?
My place? Are you sure you'll be okay with that?
I'm a guy, you know.
What are you thinking, you filthy dog?
''An Era of Cohabitation''
Damn, I can't get to sleep.
Excuse me, but--
Hey!
You seem to be totally relaxed about this...
but I'm not your father, you know. I'm a man. I'm a werewolf!
Hey. Ouch!
Don't dig your claws into me!
- Is she really asleep? - I'm not asleep.
I can't sleep.
Five threes are 15, five fours are 20, five fives are 25...
five sixes are 30--
I can't stand it anymore!
- Natsuki! - Stop!
Huh?
Did I wake you up? Breakfast's almost ready.
Go wash your face and freshen up.
What a nightmare!
It may have been a dream, but it seemed amazingly real.
You aren't eating, Batanen.
Would you rather have had meat instead of fish?
Not at all, not at all.
I don't think my body can take this for very long.
My goodness! Batanen's sure full of energy.
You really can't blame him.
After a whole night with the girl he loves fast asleep beside him...
any guy would want to howl.
But Natsuki's completely oblivious to her effect on him.
Ooh, that grilled catfish looks delish.
Those yams should give lots of energy, too.
I'd like ten servings of the catfish.
- And also ten of the yams. - Right away.
He's already in agony from all his repressed energy...
and she wants to build up his drive even more?
That's the trouble with overprotected princesses.
Look at all the stuff I bought.
Have a seat. It's my treat today.
- Really? - Yeah, really.
I know I caused you a lot of trouble.
But the kids really didn't know any better, so I hope you'll overlook it.
That's okay. I'm just happy I get to be with Batanen now.
Great.
All right. Dig in!
You really splurged, Sakura.
What are you doing about housing?
Thanks to my husband, we now have a fancy condo.
That's right. Sakunoshin is a human...
and humans get housing as well as food and clothing from the government.
Wow! So Sakura got rich overnight!
I'm hardly rich!
Sorry.
I feel a whole lot better now.
Poor thing. It must make you crazy.
Not really.
That's right. We're having a great time!
How nice.
If you ask me, so far you're just playing house.
The fun won't last. The novelty soon wears off.
Making it work long-term is tougher than you think.
Yo, Natsuki, I've decided to live for rock-n-roll!
Honey, you need to get a proper job!
Mommy, I'm hungry.
Yes, dear. Wait just a little longer.
Mommy, I peed in my pants.
Oh, my goodness.
Glare.
What? Did you want this?
Well, I've gotta be going...
but you guys enjoy the rest of the food.
You're leaving?
Gotta get home and start dinner. See ya.
She sure seems happy, doesn't she?
Here, Batanen, open wide.
Don't be silly.
Come on.
Isn't that sweet? I think I'll go see Peau later.
Working together, living together-- I'm so happy.
What's up, Natsuki?
I heard a pretty sound.
Sound? Of what?
Where are you going, Natsuki?
What's going on, anyway?
Hi, honey. Want a wind chime?
I like this one.
You have good taste.
If you go like this--
They're chimes of love, calling to each other.
I'd like to have one, but I think I'll pass.
Why? I'll give you a bargain.
That's okay. If I'm too greedy...
I might lose the happiness I already have.
I see.
Batanen.
What? Is that too heavy? Here, I'll take it.
I actually held hands with Batanen.
Yikes! My heart is beating like crazy!
If my heart races just from holding hands--
I love you, Natsuki.
What if he says that? My heart'll leap out of my mouth.
Shall we kiss, Natsuki?
Goodness! I don't know if I'm ready.
What are you doing in here, Natsuki?
Sorry, sorry!
Never mind. It was my fault for barging in like that.
But it looks like we can't use the bath for a while.
I know. We can go to the bathhouse.
I've never been before.
Let's see. We'll need soap, towels and clean underwear--
Wait, don't open that!
What did I tell you?
This is so nice.
Not good.
What's wrong?
It's the lady from next door.
If she sees us together, you can bet she'll spread it all over town.
Are you ashamed to be seen with me?
That's not it at all.
Then why?
It may not make sense, but it's just better this way.
It's dark here, and I'm scared.
I saw that.
You two look just about ready to get hitched.
I've been wondering for a long time why such a good-looking guy...
still wasn't married.
So, tell me. Have you kissed yet?
That's none of your business.
Right about now, Natsuki is--
No. Mustn't do that!
How's the water over there, Batanen?
Did you already get out?
- I'm still here. - I'm glad.
Maybe we can take a bath together sometime.
I mean with our bathing suits on.
I'm getting out.
Uh-oh. Maybe he got tired of waiting for me.
There you are!
- Here. - You bought them for me?
Uh-huh. Since they weren't all that expensive.
Thanks, Batanen.
Look, Natsuki. The stars are really pretty tonight.
Uh-huh.
Watch out!
Batanen.
I saw that.
You need to be more careful when you stand on chairs.
Having witnessed such a decisive moment, I guess it's just my fate.
I'll serve as your go-between. When's the ceremony?
Chill out, lady. I haven't done a thing yet.
Look how red you're turning!
That bath sure did feel good.
Hey, Batanen, you know that Cat Cross Army I've been after?
I swear. It's not like that.
Well, good night, then.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Nupu.
Don't mention it. I shouldn't have barged in the way I used to.
You'll stay for dinner, won't you?
It'll be ready in a jiffy.
Man, I envy you.
It sure is amazing how a female presence livens up the room.
It's burning!
Livens it up a bit too much sometimes.
You're a real operator-- sweet-talking a nubile young girl into your bed.
You really think I'd take advantage of a vulnerable child?
Is that what you think of me?
I was kidding!
This is great!

Why all these foods that are supposed to improve your drive?
I tried to prepare lots of healthy foods...
but maybe you don't like them.
Or maybe I'm just in the way here.
Don't be ridiculous. Stay as long as you want.
Could that be a declaration of love?
So I can go on shacking up with you?
Don't you mean sharing the apartment or joint housekeeping?
Oh, right. We both work, so I guess it's joint housekeeping.
Well, whatever.
It's taken me a year, but I've finally tracked them down.
They're an elusive bunch. It must have been tough.
Based on the places they've hit...
I'm pretty sure their hideout is somewhere in this area.
They're eager to grab the spotlight as Robin Hoods...
but they're basically a bunch of common thieves.
Right. And I'm going to bring 'em in.
So, did you take a bath with her?
Don't be ridiculous!
If you don't stop holding back...
someone's going to steal her from you.
Is that what you want?
Natsuki, if you're tired, go ahead and go to bed.
Is it okay?
All right. Good night.
Thanks for a great dinner.
They say shame on the man who lets pass a silver platter.
Better do this, too.
All right!
She looks fragile as a soap bubble, like she'd break at the slightest touch.
You'll catch your death of cold.
Huh? What? All of a sudden?
I don't know if I'm ready.
Natsuki!
Fine time to call. Who the hell is it?
Hello?
Batanen! You've got to help me!
Oh, hi, Tommy. What's the problem?
I was loitering around police HQ hoping to catch a glimpse of Peau...
and the police questioned me and locked me up.
What? I'm on my way.
I'll be right back, so stay right there. Understand?
Sorry about this, Batanen.
You need to be a little smarter about how you go after girls.
Right.
Though I don't suppose I'm the one to talk.
Natsuki.
Do you know what time it is?
I couldn't help it.
Fine, fine. I'm sure you have your reasons.
You can stay with us awhile.
No!
What are you carrying a wind chime for?
I'm such a jellyfish.
Scary omens and close calls
Fill my every day
I'm not even married
But when do I have time to fall in love
There were lots of thrills
And in the end, all was well
Tomorrow is our double date
You know it's gonna be great
Gotta do the day spa on my way home
I think love must be some kind of magic
Passed down through the ages
An ancient, ancient spell
To all the wicked ones who choose to misuse it
Until the world over
Fills to overflowing
With happy smiles
However long it takes
The battle will rage on
From one day to the next
Cat Cross Army?
They're thieves who steal ill-gotten gains from evildoers and bad politicians...
and give it all to the poor, right?
Sounds great! I wish they'd bring me something, too.
No, I mustn't say that!
Even if they give to the poor, thieves are still thieves.
I have to harden my heart.
Coming next-- ''There is No Tomorrow for the Cats?''
Don't you dare miss it!
