Excuse me...
Is it true...
...that Kyo-kun is here?
My name is Ka... Kagura Soma.
Kyo-kun is here wrestling with some chives right now.
May I help--
He...
He came back!
--Kyo-kun! --E-Er--
She's very cute.
No, that's not the important thing! Since she's a Soma, could it be that...
Yuki-kun.
Kyo-kun will die if you don't stop soon.
Kyo-kun!
Hi there.
K-Kagura?
Kyo-kun...
Where have you been for four months?
Why didn't you tell...?
I... I... missed...
I missed you!
Huh?
"Fruits Basket"
I missed you!
I was worried, you jerk!
Time to replace the doors.
Why is everyone so fond of breaking my house?
U-Um...
Oh, don't worry about it. That's just how Kagura expresses affection.
You know how little kids harass people they like? Same thing here.
I see...
But, er, she seems to have completely changed personalities...
She gets like that when her emotions are running high. Especially with Kyo.
She may not act like it, but she's two years older than us.
And she's part of the zodiac.
I knew it! What year is she?
I think you'll get it if you watch her for a while.
I get that Kyo-kun's life is in danger...
Uh-oh.
Kyo-kun! Tell me this isn't happening!
You're all beat up...!
Who did this terrible thing?!
That would be you.
It's cold in here.
Yes, it is.
I'm sorry. I was so happy to see Kyo-kun again,
I forgot to hold back my enthusiasm.
She's like a different person than before.
But it was partly your fault, Kyo-kun.
You disappeared for four months and didn't even call me.
Why should I have to call you?
Well, because I'm your future wife.
When did that happen?!
I didn't know you had a fiancée! How wonderful!
It must be a relief that someone is willing.
--Congratulations. --You guys aren't helping!
Kyo-kun, you told me when we were little that you'd marry me!
Only because you were threatening my life!
Why don't you want to?
Marrying another animal spirit is the best shot at happiness.
We can share our suffering, and most importantly...
...we don't transform when we hug.
Wow, you don't!
See? I can hug Yun-chan, too!
I should have realized before. Why don't you transform?
We don't know. But there are two more female members of the zodiac,
and we've established that they don't trigger our transformations, either.
There are two more girls?! Oh my gosh!
Want to know what years they are?
Mmm... No, thank you!
Would you mind if I savor the excitement of thinking it over?
That's very you.
Anyway!
Things usually don't go well when we marry normal people of the opposite sex!
Right, Shii-chan?
Hmm, true. I suppose there might be a lot of problems.
It's difficult for us to have normal company jobs,
and most importantly, transforming every time they hold you would be rough.
--The s-- --Crude.
Kyo-kun.
Today's the day to come out and say it! Do you like me, or not?!
--Huh?! --I like you!
I like you best in the world! I love you best in the universe!
For you, I'd cook good food every day, and I'd forgive affairs as momentary lapses!
--Wai-- --However you look at it,
it's clear that I'm the only one who loves you this much!
I'm sure I'm the only one! Don't you agree?!
I said, don't you agree?!
Kyo-kun loses his assertiveness with girls, huh?
Ah, but you like him, too, don't you, Tohru-kun? You're a Cat fan.
--No way! A rival?! --Pardon?
--But I won't lose! The power of my love can overcome any obstacle!
--U-Um... --But I won't lose! The power of my love can overcome any obstacle!
Tohru-kun, what do you like about Kyo-kun? I like all of him! All of him!
--Oi. --I accept his good points and his bad points!
Even if he turns into his true form,
I'll accept it without--
That's enough.
"True form"?
Say one more uncalled-for word, and I'll make you pay.
How the hell will you "make me pay"?!
I wonder what she meant by "true form."
But whatever the case,
I think Kagura-san is really bursting with love for Kyo-kun.
I haven't felt my first love yet,
and the fact that she can love someone so much...
Kyo-kun, I'm here to wash your back!
Aw, you're so shy!
...makes me feel a little jealous.
Dammit. Why am I doing this?
No complaining. You're partially at fault here.
I'm not even slightly at fault!
Start pitching in, you damn rat!
No. Can't you even clean up your own messes, you stupid cat?
--Say what?! Fight me, right now!
--Hey, Kyo-kun! --Say what?! Fight me, right now!
Yeah?
Look, look!
That's cute!
Quit playing around! This is all your--
I know it's a little early, but why don't I start making dinner?
Wait just a minute!
Yes?
I'll cook!
What? Why you?
For my beloved Kyo-kun!
All right, I'll help you!
Don't worry, I can do it myself.
Look forward to dinner, okay, Kyo-kun?
Kyo-kun, you fix the door, okay?
Wow!
This is amazing!
You're a great cook, Kagura-san.
Hee-hee!
It's amazing, but how many people were you planning to feed?
The fridge is empty...
I was so excited to feed my beloved Kyo-kun, I got carried away.
Speaking of Kyo-kun, where did he go?
--Probably upstairs. --I'll go get him!
♪ Dinner for Kyo-kun, dinner for Kyo-kun. ♪
Kyo-kun, dinner is ready.
Don't want any.
Why not? Your stomach was grumbling earlier.
Was not.
I made a lot, because I knew you were hungry.
Don't want any!
But there are lots of things you like.
Lay off! I already said I won't eat it!
But I... I... I wanted to feed you...
...so I worked my very hardest!
Ky... Kyo-kun!
A-Are you all right?!
Sheesh. The food is ruined.
Kyo-kun!
Why do they all break my house?
I'm sorry. I'll make more right away.
With what? The fridge is empty.
Ow...
Just go home already.
Kagura-san! I--
Wait.
I'll go.
Where are you off to?
Shopping.
Now?
The roads are dangerous at night.
Hey, Shii-chan. Do you think I could live here, too?
It worries me that there's a girl around Kyo-kun.
You already know you can't.
Apparently, you don't understand girls' anxieties.
Even I get jealous sometimes, actually.
Should I order delivery?
Katsudon for me.
P-Please, wait!
That'll be 3,716 yen.
Right.
Here you go, sir.
Um, can I help you carry that?
I'm fine.
Tohru-kun...
Y-Yes?!
Do you like Kyo-kun?
Er, if it's a yes or no question, then of course I like him, but...
I've loved the Cat in the zodiac story ever since I was little.
So...
I guess you could say I'm a Year of the Cat fan.
Year of the Cat... fan...?
Yes! When I heard the zodiac story, it made me want my year to be the Cat.
Oh, I see.
But I'm humbled.
You two have been close all your lives, huh?
You know, when I first met Kyo-kun,
he was drawing a fried egg in the dirt.
A fried egg?
Yeah.
I'll play with you if you want!
Really?
Yep, really!
From now on, I'll stay with you.
I'll be with you forever!
You've always
liked him, haven't you?
Tohru-kun... thank you.
Hmm?
For coming to get me.
Come on, let's go home.
I'm sure everyone is starving.
Yeah.
What will you make?
I was thinking hamburgers.
Please let me assist!
Yes, please do.
I'm starting to get hungry, too!
I'm so hungry.
Yeah.
--We're home! --We're back.
Oh, here they are.
Welcome back.
We'll start cooking right away.
Okay, Kagura-san, let's get to it!
Yeah!
It's almost done, so set the table, okay?
Yes, ma'am.
Dinner will be ready momentarily!
I've been waiting for this!
Where's Kyo-kun?
He went up a while ago and hasn't come down.
Kyo-kun! Dinner is ready.
Kyo-kun.
Why are you up here?
Dinner is almost ready.
I'll pass.
Kagura-san worked hard to make it. She says she wants to please you.
She's always talking crazy. Marriage, and stuff...
Is there something wrong with her brain?
It's so annoying.
But you know...
...it's a blessing to have someone who cares for you and worries about you.
I think having someone out there thinking about me, even if we're far apart,
is very reassuring.
I think it's amazing to be able to love someone so much.
And after all, marriage is a girl's greatest dream.
Huh. It is?
Is your dream winning against Soma-kun?
You went training in the mountains and everything.
Shigure told you that, eh?
Was the training very hard, since you were all alone?
I wasn't alone. I was with my martial arts teacher.
Oh? Is your teacher someone strong?
Of course he's strong!
Even stupid Yuki doesn't stand a chance against him.
He's a member of the Somas,
but he understands me, and he's taught me martial arts since I was little.
He's really tough!
My training in the mountains was harsh, but it was super fulfilling!
I could hardly wait for each morning to come.
It was like, "What will he teach me next? How strong will I get?"
Just thinking about it pumped me up!
I've never seen Kyo-kun excited like a little kid before.
Man, now I kinda feel like going a few rounds!
Now I see that he doesn't just want to beat Soma-kun--he truly loves martial arts.
I-I guess that was a boring topic for a girl.
What?! No!
No, not a bit! I don't know anything about martial arts, but it's not boring at all!
What? I'd get bored if someone were talking about stuff I didn't care about.
True, I have a hard time not falling asleep when people talk about physics,
but it's not that I'm completely uninterested in martial arts,
and I do know a few moves.
Um, um... Right-handed jab!
That was lousy.
--I've caught another glimpse of the real Kyo-kun.
--Come on, let's go down and eat! Everyone's waiting.
--Okay, you win.
--An awkward smile, hidden beneath the usual grumpy expression.
Thank you for waiting.
You took too long! I'm starving here.
I'm sorry.
Here.
That's... yours.
Hmm?
Kyo-kun got a fried egg on his!
Now, let's eat before it gets cold!
--Thanks for cooking! --Thanks for cooking.
This is good.
It really is.
I'm a happy man.
You come eat, too, Kagura-san.
Okay.
Kagura, it's getting late. You should stay the night.
Yay! Let's share a futon, Kyo-kun!
Not on your life!
Aw, no need to be shy!
Today, we part.
I'll come back to visit, so be well in the meantime.
I'll be fantastic as long as you stay away!
--They're certainly in high spirits this morning. --That was mean!
--They're certainly in high spirits this morning. --I'm not making you any more hamburgers!
--Say, did you figure out what Kagura is? --I'm not making you any more hamburgers!
--Say, did you figure out what Kagura is? --I never asked you to!
--No, not yet. --I never asked you to!
--No, not yet. --Kyo-kun, you big dummy!
For that, I won't give you a goodbye kiss!
I'm not gonna take your same punches for--
Kagura!
I can't believe Kyo-kun! He's so mean, I just... I just...
...love him!
--A man! --It's a man!
Good morning, sir. May I help you?
U-Um, I forgot to deliver your morning paper earlier...
Thank you!
Nice timing!
Soma-kun is even more dazzling than usual today.
Th-That was a close one.
Be more careful, Kagura!
Sorry.
I never guessed there would be a man there...
Shigure-san, I figured it out! Kagura-san is the Boar!
I don't think this counts as "figuring it out."
And yet you look so triumphant about it...
Come to think of it, you're always running single-mindedly toward your goals.
That must be the boar's influence!
Deductions are less impressive when you already know the answer...
I'm so moved! You're the cutest boar I could ever imagine!
Right, she's not listening.
Kagura-san, I think I understand a little bit more why you love Kyo-kun so much.
There are a bunch of great things about him, aren't there?
"Oink!?"
--So I want to be like you--
--How dare you cheat on me?! --So I want to be like you--
I knew it! I can't take my eyes off you for a moment!
What are you talking about?!
Didn't you say you'd forgive his affairs?
I never said I wouldn't punish him first!
E-Excuse me, that's not what I meant.
I want to become someone like you
who can see all the great things about the person you like.
That's what I meant...
Like me...?
Yes! I think that's a fantastic trait!
She complimented me.
Put clothes on!
You need more training, Kyo-kun.
See you later, Kyo-kun!
Let's get together again soon!
The storm has passed...
Darn it. All the chaos prevented me from planting anything.
Are you going to put something new in your secret base?
Yeah, strawberries.
Strawberries! I love those!
I thought you might.
We're gonna be late.
For some reason...
...I'm starting to feel really motivated.
"Fun Year-Round Vegetable Gardens" "Martial Artists"
These, please!
All right.
I want to know more about the things
Kyo-kun and Soma-kun like and dislike.
I hope I can find more hidden sides of them.
Oh, there you are.
Honda, come over to the staff room. There's a phone call for you.
Hello, I'm sorry for the wait.
Grandfather?
I got the wrong idea.
I knew my living situation was temporary, and one day I'd have to leave...
...but somehow, I've been fooling myself into thinking we could be family.
"I've Been Fooling Myself"
I've been fooling myself.
