Jyunishi Drama #127

Some day I will definitely catch up with you

Banner: Akito has started down her own path. And then Uo and Hana still don't accept Kyo going to see Tohru. And now today...!?

Having heard a little from Tohru, Saki and Arisa ended up meeting Akito at the hospital the previous day. While talking out in the hall, Akito tells the two that, while she didn't know what Tohru had told them, that Tohru's injuries were Akito's fault. Saki however, tells Akito that Tohru didn't blame anyone for what had happened.

Akito then goes on to explain that she'd heard about Kureno and Arisa can only wonder that Tohru, despite all her own problems, could still find the wherewithal to worry over her.

At school, Yuki is shocked to see a horribly shocked Kyo. When he asks what happened to him, Arisa and Saki explain how, when Kyo had come up to them and stated that he was going to go see Tohru, they told him the truth: that Tohru didn't want to see him at the moment.

Kyo suspecting that perhaps Arisa and Saki were being mean and teasing him confronts them.

Saki: Tease...?

Do you think... that I
Would lie about Tohru's feelings

Just to tease you?

You don't understand at all do you...
Little boy...

Kyo: .........

Yuki: But...

Yuki: I'd also gotten that feeling
Whenever mentioning Kyo's name, Honda-san would clearly becoming frightened.

Kyo: Fright...!?
ened...!?

...

Yuki: That's... More than not wanting to see him...
Is rather...

Umm...

Saki: Well yes... Tohru-kun
Thinks that she's been rejected...

Yuki: How awful

Kyo: How'd that happen---!!!

Arisa: Yeah well, if you're told things like disillusioning and such, you know?

?: ...It's the same thing as being told something like Get lost!!

Kyo: Th... th... that's the worst misunderstanding...!!
If I don't hurry and see her, it'd be like confirming it's true!!

For starters, why're you guys staying silent on such an important thing...

However, Arisa gets annoyed at Kyo's question exclaiming that she doesn't care about his own circumstances. She's still upset over the fact that he'd made Tohru cry.

After Saki and Arisa leave, Yuki suggests that Kyo go to meet Tohru on the day she's released from the hospital. Afterall, once she's back home, Yuki figured Kyo would end up keeping Tohru to himself. And so, Kyo's not being able to visit Tohru, and therefore having Tohru still be "everyone's Honda-san", was a cute little bit of selfishness.

Kyo: Dammit...
You don't know how I feel...

Yuki: Ah- sorry but, I have no desire to know that for my entire life.

Still being denied permission to see Tohru at the hospital, Kyo wonders what he should do that day therefore.

On the way to visit Tohru, Arisa and Saki talk and Saki wonders if perhaps they hadn't been a bit too cruel to Kyo. Saki admits that Tohru truly did get flustered any time Kyo's name was brought up however. And Arisa comments that Kyo would simply have to wait until Tohru was released from the hospital since at the moment, if he came to visit, Tohru was likely to run away in her bare feet. For the timebeing, Tohru still needed to take things easy.

Saki then asks Arisa if she was going to visit Kureno. As Arisa hesitates, Saki tells her that it would be better for her to do so while she still could.

[I thought about
Kureno-san's 26 years
What was accomplished

What wasn't accomplished]

Loving

Him

Akito: ...Kureno's
Currently

Here in ...this same

Hospital

Because

I

...Stabbed him

...I'd been

Fettering him...

Crushing him underfoot

But Kureno
Doesn't blame me so

I don't... what...

Saki: You're...

Saki: A woman, aren't you...?

Kureno-san'd....

Said that there was...

Someone...

He had to stay with, that's...

You, isn't it...?

[It wasn't only

About Akito that I was so

Disappointed about

Simpler

More simply]

The fact that I'd

Been left out

Arisa hugs Akito

[In Kureno-san's 26 years, I'd been

So extremely "non-present"

Treating one day's memory like a diamond and polishing it so,
I felt a bit pathetic

And was disappointed.]

Arisa ends up deciding to visit Kureno afterall and finds him in his hospital room standing by an open window. Kureno had thought that she wouldn't be coming since he didn't have the right to expect such.

Kureno: ...You talked
With Akito didn't you?

...There's something
I still

Need to do

For Akito...

Arisa: What?

Kureno: That I disappear.

Because if I'm there
Akito will always

Worry about it.

[Until the end

Until the end]

Arisa tells Kureno that he should go wherever he wants. ...And that wherever he went, she would go. Surprised, Kureno looks at her, and Arisa asks him if he understands why. Red-faced, she then tells him that she won't tell that.

Kyo finds Akito outside Kazuma's home and asks if Akito had business there. Getting spiky, Akito tells him that it didn't matter and turns to walk away, however, Kyo reaches out to stop Akito as there was something he wanted to talk about. Akito shrugs off Kyo's hand and tells him that they have nothing to talk about telling him that he should live however he liked.

Kyo: ...Eh?

That...

What do...

Akito: I said
...

I hate saying the same thing over again!!

Saki: My...?

*door squeaks open*

Saki: Are you leaving already?

A~-chan

Looking rather ill, Akito tells Saki that she'd asked her not to call her that but Saki tells her that it's cute and she should have more confidence.

Recovering from the shock of Saki's sudden appearance, Kyo asks her what she was doing there. Saki explains that since he'd come to visit Tohru at the hospital, in gratitude, she'd come back to Kazuma-san's place. And laughs. At her comment, Kyo senses that she's acting a little familiar towards Shishou.

Shishou also comes outside and finds Kyo there, and Saki leaves to make some new tea. Kyo senses that they're actually being rather friendly with one another. As Shishou talks to Kyo, Akito leaves.

Kazuma: I heard about things.

Kyo: Eh...
Eh!?

Kazuma: That you'd gone to your father's place?

It seems that that talk
Also went to Akito-san

(Akito) promised to
Tear down that secluded building

Kazuma: ...Although straightening out
Your father's and the people of the main house's twistedness
Won't be as easy

As tearing down that building

...You cleared
One hurdle.

...

You did well

Saki comes out again and suggests that the two continue their conversation more leisurely inside.

[After that
After a while,

Kureno-san really did leave the Sohma house.

Without saying much to those around
Getting rid of anything that couldn't be carried with him

Laughing

Saying that having it seem like he'd never been there
In the first place]

[Was fine.

Just as it's amazing how self-centered
Some people can be

It's amazing how very self-sacrificing some people can be, but

I think it's okay they're there.

I think it's great.]

Kureno: Is it really... okay?

Kureno: Finding work out in such a rural area like this

Arisa: There's no good or bad. This place is good.
It's no good
If it's not here.

Kureno: ...Why?

Arisa: Hmm?

I'm not telling you.

Kureno: Tell me

...I want you

To tell me.

Banner: The continuation to the words that were understood, the eternal promise that's theirs alone...
