What's keeping Ataru and Lum so long?

Jeez they better not make us late to the movie.

Sigh... nothing but couples around here.

It bums me out.

Hey take a look over there.

W-Wanna try our luck?

Oh jeez. This always happens when I'm by myself for too long.

S-So cute! Like wow!

Totally my type.

Well the attention does feel nice.

Man that look just screams "I was ditched".

Betcha that tail would start wagging for anybody.

Alright! Here goes!

How dare you! I won't settle for just anybody!

Huh...?

Um miss? Is something wrong?

Huh? What do you mean?

Yo! Hope you didn't wait long!

Finally! What the heck were you doing?

It's all my darling's fault! He kept trying to pick up girls!

Well I accidentally humiliated myself cuz of you.

I'm going home.

Shinobu!

What happened?

It's none of your business.

Just tell me. I want to be your pillar of support.

Oh look at that sexy lady.

Huh? Where?! Where?!

I swear you just can't trust guys who act nice to everybody.

Sigh. I really wish that a guy who only had eyes for me

would somehow fall right into my lap.

Wait Inaba?!

It is you!

H-Hi Shinobu...

Bye my day bye bye day

Drowning in the light

Bye my day bye bye day

But I will still pray my darling

(Darling darling dadadarling darling)

(Darling dadadadada)

I realized those days of repeatedly wanting your love were my happiness

Amidst the uncertain future being by your side seemed the most vibrant

What should I do?

Although there's nothing I can do

What's going to happen?

On any night

The end is bound to come eventually

I've known that since the beginning

Ah bye my day bye bye day

Drowning in the light

Bye my day bye bye day

All I did was pray quietly

Bye my day bye bye day

Driven out of the world

Bye my day bye bye day

All my feelings still lie with you

Hey darling squeeze my hand back

Darling you blubbering mess of tears

I want you to love me until the end

For as far as this universe goes

Darling darling beckon me back with my name

Darling no matter how far apart we were

It didn't matter because the light you produced

Was always impossibly beautiful

Whew! I was overheating out there!

Well yeah wearing that costume would do that to anybody.

So? What brings you here?

Actually I came because I have a very serious favor to ask of you...

I want you to be my girlfriend.

Huh?

LIKE HELL!

Shinobu! This chump is lying to you!

Ataru?!

You damn skirt chaser!

It's nice to see you again.

Don't let him sweet talk you Shinobu.

I can tell. He's the type of guy that'll go after any girl.

That's rude! Don't you dare lump him together with you!

Um well...

the truth is that any girl would do.

Hey wait! Why did you get so upset?

Quit following me.

But it's either you or nobody!

You just said "any girl would do".

Not in my book! You're the only one for me!

None of what you're saying makes any darn sense!

You're the only one for me too babe.

Keep that fast and loose mouth of yours shut!

Please calm down and let's talk this out!

Okay? Pretty please?

Fine. Start talking.

A promotion test?

For your job at the Fortune Manufacturing Office?

Yes.

What kinda test is it?

I have to pick a certain flower from the space-time forest.

It's an important material that we use in the production of futures.

Okay but why do you have to go with Shinobu?

Because you need a partner for it.

The employees with significant others have it easy.

But unfortunately I don't have a girlfriend.

And Shinobu is the only person who came to mind.

Shucks I should've known it would be rude of me to ask.

I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to put you on the spot.

I'll just go and find someone else.

Wait right there mister.

Huh?

You should've just led with that. Then I would've agreed to be your girlfriend.

W-Wait really Shinobu?

It's not like I have anything better to do.

Man Inaba sure has some tough luck.

Yeah out of all the different promotion tests

picking that flower from the space-time forest is the most difficult one.

And to top it off he doesn't even have a girlfriend.

So the flower will never bloom.

Yep sucks for him!

Hello fellas! Thanks for waiting!

Yo Inaba!

Sup.

It's been a while huh?

S-Sorry but they insisted on tagging along...

Obviously.

I can't just let Shinobu accompany this guy alone

to some fishy place where god knows what could happen.

Darling! You stay away from her!

Don't make it sound so depraved!

Fine. If you all wanna go then we won't stop you!

Seems like you've got plenty of energy to spare anyway!

You'll wish you were dead by the end of it though.

Because after all this test is...

It's over this way.

Hey! Listen until we finish talking to you dammit!

They were going on about something.

What's the deal with this test?

I don't know very much myself.

All I know is that it's the Fortune Manufacturing Office's way...

of testing the love and courage of their employees.

Man I'm getting some real "entrance to Hell" vibes here.

Seems like we won't walk away from this in one piece.

What's wrong Inaba?

L-L-Li-li-listen Shinobu!

N-N-N-No matter what happens I'll keep you s-s-s-safe...

That's okay. Don't push yourself.

Shinobu!

Forget it you should leave!

Oh please! It's too late now!

Just be brave!

You can't take this test unless I'm with you right?

Shinobu...

Thank you! I'm starting to feel a bit braver now!

O-Okay. I'm going to open it up.

Oh yeah?

But how are you going to open such a huge door?

That won't be a problem.

There's a side door.

Whoa!

O-O-O-Oh my.

Nothing about this seems like a test of "love and courage" to me!

Well it certainly appears to be a normal ladies' bath but...

Stand back guys! I'll go and check for sure!

Nothing to be afraid of ladies!

Dammit darling!

It really just seems to be a bathhouse for women.

Come on let's keep moving.

W-W-W-W-Wait! B-B-B-B-But...

What's the matter?

Th-Th-This feels wrong...

Already ready to call it quits Inaba?

You'll never hack it!

You don't have the guts to get through here!

He's a big coward after all.

Oh be quiet!

Aren't they making you angry?!

Well yeah I guess so...

For crying out loud!

Suck it up and get going already!

Daaaaaaaarling!

I'll take care of things here! You guys hurry and move on ahead!

Stop being a blithering idiot! We're leaving right now!

Let go Lum!

Just forget about me and forge ahead by yourself!

Aw jeez. Get a hold of yourself.

You've gotta be kidding! Get out here mister!

I'm sowwy...

What?

The nudity gave you a head rush?!

You don't see many guys like that these days.

I'm just not used to seeing the female form honestly.

Wow.

So he was telling the truth about not having a girlfriend.

Actually I suffer from the exact same problem.

You seemed pretty damn used to it based on how you acted in the ladies' bath!

What happened?

What's this supposed to be? A three-legged race?

I can't break it.

Shinobu! It looks like we were destined to be together!

This must be some kind of mistake.

C'mon! Let's journey forth!

Hey wait!

Darling!

Shinobu!

Get back here!

Where are you trying to go?

Dunno!

There's a branch in the road.

Huh?

"Hell" and... "Heaven"?

So that's heaven huh?

Easiest choice ever.

Agreed.

Somebody help!

Please I need help!

Anybody!

Let's go Ataru.

I'm on the way miss!

Shinobu!

He's dragging her into Hell with him!

Are you okay?!

Thank you so much.

Oh shucks it was nothing.

Congratulations brave-hearted young people.

This was the true path to Heaven.

You did well not to let simple appearances deceive you.

Crap I fell for it! I let her looks deceive me!

In honor of your courage

I shall grant you the use of this key that unlocks your shackles.

Here.

Hold on!

Leave me behind!

I'm going to live here forever!

I'm totally okay without any promotions!

It's not even YOUR promotion!

Wait Shinobu!

It's not what you think! Hear me out!

I honestly thought you weren't a lowlife like that.

Please just listen!

I'm going home!

You can find another partner to help you.

Any girl will do right?

No that's not true.

Hold on Shinobu! It's dangerous over there!

There's a space-time irregularity that...

Leave me alone!

Shinobu!

Well shoot. Looks like Inaba went off the test course.

That's what he gets for goofing around.

Shinobu! Please wait!

You can't go by yourself!

I'm falling dummy!

You know I can't just stop!

Shinobu!

Oh thank heavens.

Anybody that falls into the space-time irregularity without a suit can never come back.

Come on! Let's go.

Where's the exit? I'll go home by myself.

Let me bring you to it.

You're in the middle of your promotion test aren't you?

Well that's true but...

So since Inaba went off the test course

does that mean he fails?

Nah but it's just a matter of time.

Because even if he's lucky enough to make it back on course

he can't succeed unless he manages

to make the flower in the space-time forest bloom...

Hey! That was MY cake darling!

Are you two even listening?

Okay. We can walk from here.

Um... I'm sorry.

I put you through a rough time.

That's fine. It's not like I really care.

Good luck with the rest of your test.

Although I doubt I'll ever see you again.

Um well I just wanted to let you know what happened in the lake really was...

Don't explain. Because I don't care.

Everybody makes mistakes in life.

It wasn't a mistake! It's a misunderstanding!

Whatever. I'm used to it.

Hey there he is! The test taker!

Come on this way!

Get a move on!

Hurry up now!

We're so tired of waiting.

This is a shortcut that will get you out of the irregularity!

Go on! Climb up!

What a relief! Let's go Shinobu.

Hold on a minute.

That girl isn't allowed to go this way.

Huh? But why?

She's not a rabbit right?

Only rabbits can use this staircase.

So you'll have to choose one of us to be your partner.

No way!

Just do it. Don't dawdle.

I refuse! I'm not leaving you here alone Shinobu!

Well if you want to go together with her then...

you'll have to use that door instead.

I'm gonna mess you up good punk!

C'mon what's wrong? Bring it!

Don't hurt yourself. Just take the stairs.

Yeah what she said.

We can just take this girl back for you instead.

Don't screw with me punk! We gonna throw hands or what?!

Seriously?

I have to.

Because I get the feeling that

I really won't see you again if we split up here.

I'm gonna send you flying!

Here comes the pain punk!

Bring it on!

Take this!

You little shit.

Don't patronize me!

Jab! Jab! Uppercut!

And a straight to finish it!

Inaba!

Oh? You want some more?

But unless you find my weak spot

I'm pretty much invincible!

Inaba!

You can't interfere!

Screw that! Let go of me!

That's breaking the rules! It's cheating!

I'm okay Shinobu.

Please stand back so you don't get hurt.

But...

I can hold my own. Watch.

Pesky little worm!

One two! One two!

Jab! Jab! Straight punch!

No! Please stop!

Playtime is over!

This uppercut will finish it!

No Inaba!

How did you figure out my weak point?!

Inaba!

Speak to me!

Yeesh. What a pain.

Whoa. He's a total mess.

Guess he's not picking that flower.

Where's the flower? Tell me right now.

Just wait Inaba.

I'll take you there myself.

It's already wilted...

It has to be blooming or he fails?

That's too cruel.

How can they do this?

So is there some kind of reason that he needs a partner for the test?

Yeah a huge reason.

The fertilizer that's needed to make the flowers in the space-time forest grow

is cheerful romance.

Cheerful romance?

That's what I said.

Which is why the test course itself

is littered with various traps that are meant to tear a happy couple apart!

Darn. So the flower isn't blooming huh?

It's too bad. You tried so hard.

That's okay. I don't mind.

The test was really just an excuse.

Cuz all I wanted was to spend time with you Shinobu.

Here. A gift.

I really appreciate what you did.

Thanks for coming along with little ol' me.

Wh-What are you saying?

I'm the one who...

Um Shinobu?

Wh-Wh-What's gotten into you?

I'm just so happy.

Truly happy.

It bloomed...

Yeah!

So... is it all right if I come hang out with you again sometime?

Sure. I'll be waiting.

A warm breeze blows as I catch my breath

It caresses the back of my neck and disappears

Flower petals on the damp window

An umbrella wet with rain

You pluck at a strand of fluttering hair

And quickly vanish into the classroom

A clock with frozen hands

The sky after school ends

I want to see your love I don't want words

Your eyes plead with me

But I can never give you the reply

The flowers and cherry blossoms scatter in spring again

You stand inside a twinkling fissure

With a little grin on your face that's beautiful

But somehow scary

Pushed along by the wind I dance with you

Shall we walk to the moon and look at the town?

And then surely

And then surely

I'll come to forget

Even if I live forever that was my last love

You're still like a fake spring beyond the window even now

On the next episode of Urusei Yatsura!

Now I have no regrets for my youth!

WOOSH!

Flower Petals of Love and Courage

STEAAAAAAMY

GONG

Hell

Give me a smooch

and I'll let her go
