Original subtitles

I'm not telling you to quit.

I just don't think it's a good idea to have the same teacher.

I have a feeling Momo has taken notice of you.

Sorry. I'm really sorry, Momiji.

Why?

Why is it like this?

"Fruits Basket"

I ended up coming here after all.

Now charge forth!

I-I'm scared!

I-I'll circle around again to calm myself. Just calm down for now!

Let me explain why I came to visit here today.

--Uo-chan! --Hmm?

Did you really quit all your part-time jobs for new ones?

Yep, I'm at a family restaurant now.

U-Um, but then...

Probably won't ever bump into him again.

But I couldn't stand it anymore.

Whenever a customer entered, I'd hope it was him.

Constantly waiting expectantly for him just wasn't like me.

Guess I'm just sick of getting worked up over every single thing.

If only you knew his name.

Oh, my bad. I didn't say?

His name is Kureno-san.

Kureno?

Of the Soma family? That Kureno-san?

--You know him?! --Huh? Whoa!

Seriously?! Soma, like Kyon's family?!

What was he like?! Where'd you meet him?

What color were his eyes? His hair?

I-I very briefly saw him during summer break at the Soma vacation house.

He had lovely brown eyes and hair.

He seemed a cool...

...and collected man.

You've got a different guy. Kureno-san's spacey.

He wouldn't realize if he stepped in dog crap.

Arisa, that's not a very nice example.

B-But, isn't there still a chance they're the same person?

Isn't it worth finding out if they are?

I... I can't do much, but I can try--

Nah.

Don't try. They've got to be different people.

Sorry for being cranky. And thanks.

Uo-chan.

Kureno? Don't know much about him, either.

All I know's that he's Akito's assistant and stuff.

He doesn't come out much,

and he doesn't interact with the other zodiac members.

He's never said a word to me before.

I see...

What's got you asking about Kureno anyway?

Y-Yes! Well, h-he is one of the zodiac members,

so you could say that's the reason why I may be interested!

Just try not to stick your nose where it doesn't need to be.

But Kyo-kun, someone dear to me is troubled.

I don't think this is needless.

It would be thoughtless to barge in uninvited, wouldn't it?

It's Tohru Honda. I'm here to visit Kureno-san!

I couldn't.

How reckless.

Oh, but...

But... if there's even the smallest possibility...

If the one you long to see is still in this world...

Go, you can do it!

Is that... a violin?

Who could be playing it?

It feels a little sorrowful...

Huh?

I'm terribly sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going.

Are you okay? I'm really sor--

You're... Momiji-kun's--

Oh no! Momo-san doesn't know she's Momoji-kun's little sister.

Do you know Momiji, Big Sister?

You're friends? Did you come to see him?

Um... Yes. He's my friend...

You can't get inside, huh?

--This way. --Huh?

I'll take you to him.

U-Um...

It's this way. It's a secret entrance!

Is this the back entrance?

Big Sister, this way.

Right here. You get in from here.

U-Um, but...

Hurry up!

They don't let me in from the front, so I always sneak in from there.

And I play here.

U-Um, are you familiar--

Do you know Momiji?

Yup. I met him before at Papa's work.

"Forgot"

He looks just like Mama. "Forgot"

He looks just like Mama.

So I told Mama.

But then Mama said they don't look the same. I was shocked.

And Papa said I can't see him anymore.

But then I was sneaking around, and I found Momiji's house!

See, he was playing violin that day, too.

He's not always playing it, but I hide here and watch him when he is.

Momiji-kun.

You don't go talk to him?

Papa said I can't.

But you're his friend, right?

I did a good job bringing you here, right?

So can I tell you my wish?

Please ask Momiji!

Please ask Momiji if he can be my big brother.

I mean, he looks just like Mama.

Even though Mama said he doesn't, he looks just like her.

I want a big brother. Then we can talk and play together.

And I started violin lessons, too. We can play violin together.

It'd be so fun.

I could see him every day.

Ask him for me.

Ask him for me, okay?

Tohru?

You surprised me. What are you doing here?

Why are you here? Anyways, come in.

You're covered in dirt, Tohru. How'd you...

Tohru? What's the matter?

You play the violin.

Yup.

I haven't played much since starting high school.

And I quit lessons from the teacher I had for years.

Huh? You stopped your lessons?

Yeah.

B-But you can keep playing violin, right?

Momo started taking violin lessons from the same teacher.

So Papa wanted me to stop taking lessons.

Papa's scared. He's afraid of me getting close to Momo and Mama.

He's scared.

He doesn't want me to destroy the happiness he desperately rebuilt.

I don't want to hurt her anymore.

I'm scared that I'll hurt her by seeing her.

But...

But Momo-san wants to see you.

Actually, she's the one who led me here.

She's... She's always known who you are.

She's... She's always watched you!

Just like you've always watched over her,

she's listened to you play violin!

She wishes she could talk and play with you!

And wants to ask you to be her big brother!

You want to see them...

Even though the one you want to see is still in this world...

It was true.

Papa said Momo had taken notice of me.

Oh no.

Oh no... I'm so happy!

Why do feelings grow intense when you can't see them?

Tohru, my dream is to become a violinist.

When I do, I want to have a small concert

and have Papa, Mama, and Momo come watch me.

Thanks, Momo.

I'm so happy right now,

and I can only be this happy

because there's someone who will cry for me.

I must see him, no matter what.

See him? Who?

Who did you come to see?

Kureno-san.

I see. You came all this way to see Kureno?

But why do you want to see Kureno?

There's someone who's been waiting a long time to see a Kureno-san.

I thought it might be Kureno Soma.

I wanted to find out.

You're doing it for someone?

No... No. I'm not doing anything so praiseworthy.

I decided on my own without asking to come find out.

Kureno lives in the inner estate,

so we don't see him much.

So it might be hard to see him.

Actually, it might be just the zodiac members who think that.

Akito won't let him see us, so he's just doing as he's told.

I'll go with you.

H-Huh?

What will you do if someone finds you?

What if Akito finds you?

That might happen again...

Momiji-kun...

Thank you for being concerned for me.

But I cannot cause you more trouble than I have already.

I will be fine.

Besides, he's not to see any of the other zodiac members.

Let's see... according to the map Momiji drew for me...

You've got that, Tohru? If anyone finds me, blame it on me.

You have to! You've got to!

Momiji-kun, thank you so much for being worried for me

rather than scolding me for my selfish actions.

Courage! I need to get some courage!

Mom!

Mom, if you're not angry at what I'm doing right now,

please give me some of your courage!

Um... I should be getting close.

Oh!

Kureno-sa--

People! I-I must hide!

Oh, I was close. I was so close!

Oh no, there's someone here, too!

Whoa! H-Here, too! I have nowhere to run!

Oh no, I'm getting farther and farther from Kureno-san!

Whatever am I doing?

But this is no time to be discouraged! Try again!

I'd like to, but where am I now?

Who's there?

Is someone there?

That voice...

What... What should I... What can I do?

It's Kureno. I was passing by here on some business.

Kureno-san?!

Why not come in for some tea?

No, I must return. Akito will be worried.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

I thought I heard someone call me and went after you.

What were you doing there?

S-Sorry.

How did you enter here in the first place?

If you snuck in, nobody would object if I turned you in to the police.

P-Please, wait! Before you do that, will you listen to what I have to say?

Kureno-san! Do you know someone named Arisa Uotani?

It's him. He is Uo-chan's Kureno-san.

Uo-chan wants to see you.

It takes a lot for her to complain!

She quit all her jobs for new ones!

But... But she seemed so sad and lonely that she couldn't see you again.

I don't plan to see her again.

Is that because you have a zodiac spirit?

No... it's not that.

I...

It doesn't concern you.

I-I understand. No, u-um, but...

Uo-chan is very dear to me.

S-So, please take her contact information!

Y-You don't have to contact her just because you accept it.

But you... you might not know how you'll feel tomorrow.

Tomorrow, you might wake up and want to see her.

Maybe not tomorrow. It might be the day after that,

a year from now, or ten years from now!

But... but as long as you're alive, things will keep happening.

As long as you're alive, you will continue to have new wishes!

I-I'll hide this in here, s-so that others won't find it.

That's all I have to say.

Oh, sorry, but I don't have handcuffs on me.

It's okay. I'll let you off.

Plus, there's someone here who's worried about you.

Momiji-kun.

Now, go back.

U-Um, Kureno-sa--

Someone like you shouldn't be here.

Goodbye.

My heart is breaking.

Momiji-kun, I... I caused so much trouble for you today.

What? I don't think that at all.

You told me about Momo. It made me so happy!

I want to do something in return.

Oh, yeah! Why don't I have a concert just for you someday?

Huh?! B-But, um, I don't know much about classical--

Don't worry! I'll play a song you like!

A song I like? Wishes...

"Birth of Wishes."

You like that song?

Oh... um, it popped into my head just now.

Oh, but, er, if it's too hard on violin, a different song is fine.

It's okay. I'll practice.

I'll wish...

...that you can see them.

What's wrong?

I don't see you up on the roof much.

You go exploring today or something?

Huh?

Weren't you covered in dirt when you came home?

Yes, I could only do the bare minimum.

Huh?

You want to be with someone you like...

...want to be near them, huh?

What, you have a crush on someone?

What?! N-N-No! No, that's not it!

I'm not talking about me!

Don't worry.

When you do find someone...

...I'll be here to help you out.

Oh, okay.

Thank yo--

Why're you crying?!

I don't know. The tears started spilling out for some reason!

Wh-Why am I...

My heart aches. It's being torn apart.

Am I disheartened, because what I wish for is impossible?

Is it because I know about wishes that cannot come true?

Even so... I'll wish.

What do you wish for, Kyo-kun?

For someone to quit crying.

Okay.

I'll wish.

"You Will, I'm Sure"

You will, I'm sure. "You Will, I'm Sure"

"You Will, I'm Sure"
