Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

I was so very happy when you smiled at me, A smile that melted everything away.

Spring is still far away, and within the cold ground, I awaited the time when sprouts would put forth their buds.

Even supposing today there may have been some pain, And though the scars of yesterday remain, You can go on living as much as your heart wants to believe.

You cannot be born again, although You can go on changing yourself, and so Let's stay together, always.

It sure does rain a lot, huh?

The laundry is going to pile up.

According to the weather forecast, it's supposed to let up a little this afternoon.

It sure would help if it does let up.

It would help even more if it became more like autumn soon.

Honda-san, you like autumn?

Yes.

The clear autumn skies feel so refreshing, and all.

Ah, but it's hard to pass up spring, too.

That's just like Honda-san.

Yuki-kun, do you like autumn?

Mm-hmm.

It's cooler, and easier to get through, after all.

Is that right?

What about you, Kyo-kun?

I neither like it or hate it.

Um uh Don't let it bother you, Honda-san.

On rainy days, he's not very unenergetic, from what Haru says.

So that's why recently, he has been in such a bad mood then, huh?

Kyo-kun, are you turning in already?

Uh-huh.

Apparently.

He's so feeble, huh?

It's better than having your trouble getting up It really does seem as though he doesn't feel well.

Dammit, what a pain! Um, Kyo-kun, if you're having trouble, you shouldn't overdo it Ah, I know! If it's too hard for you to hold your umbrella, then please, stand over here.

N- now look, you Yes?

Don't"yes" me.

How am I supposed to stand under a girl's umbrella like that, being held by a girl?

Uh I'm sorry.

Um, well then, in that case, I know you might be reluctant to do this, but you could become your cat form, and as presumptuous as it may be, I could carry you And I could do that any more, you dummy!?

Honda-san, let's just go.

But I've told you, you worry too much over everything, haven't I?

Don't weary me any more.

Right.

Sorry.

It's not necessarily anything you need to apologize over.

Ah, well then, tonight, I'll make something that will bring your spirits up.

Let's see leeks?

W- why would you say that!?

S- sorry, sorry! You can just leave me alone.

I'm just predisposed to this, that's all.

O- okay.

Right.

What the?

The instant we get home, it clears the hell up.

If only it would rain all the way through, things could be so quiet.

Wha!?

Did you say something, you damn rat?

Kyo-kun! Welcome home, my Kyo-kun! K- K- Kyo-kun, there was a "thud" just now! She hit her head! She hit her head! There's no point in closing the door, is there?

There's no point in closing the door, is there?

Kyo-kun?

Kyo-kun, what's the matter?

The door closed.

Ah, so it has! It'll never open the rest of our lives, like this.

Open it!! So, what is it?

Tell me why you're here right now! I'm not here for anything.

If you're not here for anything, then don't come! Why not?

I can't come to see you just because I want to come see you?

I don't want to see you! Kyo-kun! How awful how awful! And here I and here I love you so much!! Would you realize that that's one of the reasons why I hate you, already?

- Shigure! - Kagura, I'm going to let you borrow him, so how about the two of you go out on a date or something?

Tohru-kun, shall we ask these two to take care of the shopping for dinner tonight?

Um, okay then Can I ask you to do that?

- But I'm not! - All right! It's a date! It's a date! Dismissal operations successful.

Sure enough If we let the two of them be together for a while, Kagura's excitement should subside, and she shouldn't destroy the house.

Ah, but I will still have to get some money from the main house to repair the front door.

From the main house?

Right.

After all, this house is financed with the assistance of the Sohma main house.

Is that right?

It's been over a year since I came to stay in this house, but I still don't know anything of its inner details or circumstances.

Um, I should get to the laundry or something I think it's just going to rain again right away.

Never mind doing that, you've got a rare chance, Tohru-kun, so why don't you go on a date with Yuki-kun, too?

N- no, t-that would be um Let's go on a date.

If the secret base is okay with you, that is.

Sure! Wishing to understand it may be presumptuous.

But after all, that is what I want to do.

Going slowly, little by little, that's fine.

I want to learn more about everyone.

I also want to be someone who can accept others for the way they are.

I have returned.

I was concerned how he had been doing since then but I was astonished.

Imagine, that boy showing an expression such as that Tell me isn't it about time that we should show her the true form of that monster cat?

Yes.

That is what I thought.

When she sees that, I wonder what kind of face will that girl make?

I'm sure she won't be able to stand it, and she won't be able to stay there any longer.

Once that happens, Yuki will surely be discouraged.

Poor thing Let's see Kyo-kun's favorite, haddock, is right here on the list.

That's Tohru-kun for you.

Say, Kyo-kun Tohru-kun doesn't know yet, right?

Were you planning on hiding it from her like this forever?

Would you shut up!?

That's none of your business! Kyo-kun Yelling at a girl in public that is so low!! O- okay, Kyo-kun, that was embarrassing, so come on, let's go Why Why are you so particular about me?

It's weird, isn't it?

Ordinarily ordinarily you'd avoid me keep your distance, right?

It's Kyo-kun you don't remember, do you?

What?

It's a secret.

Kyo-kun, you'd cry Now then, let's checkout, let's checkout.

Hey, what are you talking about?

Come on, let's go, Kyo-kun.

Hey, come on! Oh?

Looks like it's going to rain again.

You don't intend to tell me?

Let's hold hands on the way home! Not a chance! Why not?

Why not?

We used to hold hands a lot long ago, right?

You're talking about when I was three or four! Kyo-kun! That was cold.

All right! We just have to hold hands, right?

But only part of the way, got it?

Sis Mm-hmm! Ordinarily you'd avoid me keep your distance, right?

You really don't remember, Kyo-kun?

It was you, Kyo-kun, who would ask me back then Sister Kagura You reached out to me You sought me back then, Kyo-kun, with your own hand And I trusted you Sister Kagura It's starting to rain again.

I wonder if Kyo-kun and Kagura-san are okay.

Even if he collapses, Kagura will carry him home.

E- excuse me So, he has come back?

Oh, is he an acquaintance?

Cut it out, already! I've held your hand this far, that should be enough! You know I don't like getting all clammy, right?

I know, but it isn't any fun! Kyo Master?

You're looking well, Kyo.

I am most pleased to find you well, Kazuma-dono.

You too, Shigure-kun.

I am happy that your novels have been doing well.

They're coming along.

This gentleman is Kyo-kun's master?

Teacher, it's nice to see you again after so long.

It has been a long time, Teacher.

Yes, it has been a while, Kagura.

Yuki, you've gotten taller, and have grown up all around, too.

Um, er Tohru-kun, this gentleman is Sohma Kazuma-dono.

While he is Kyo-kun's master, he is also the teacher who taught Yuki-kun, Kagura, Ha-kun and the others the martial arts.

Is that right?

Tohru-san is it okay for me to call you that?

Y- yes! Pleased to meet you.

Honda Tohru.

Is that so you're her?

I've heard about you for some time I understand that you know about the zodiac matter.

Yes.

Kyo-kun Don't just sit there at the side, why don't you say hello?

You haven't seen him since you stayed up in the mountains last year either, right?

Aren't you happy to see him again?

That's not it! Kyo-kun! Which room would Kyo's be?

Right, it's upstairs on the Kyo, I'm coming in.

You certainly have been reading a lot of books, huh?

Master I'm sorry about my poor attitude.

You're the same as ever in front of Yuki.

It's all right.

I understand.

Welcome home! Welcome home, Master! I'm back.

So then, the master is not one of the zodiac?

Uh-uh.

But he is still someone close to the main house.

They say that the one who was possessed by the Cat before Kyo-kun was the teacher's grandfather.

As such, the person who can most understand the situation that Kyo-kun is in is probably the teacher.

But even besides that, the teacher seems to hold Kyo-kun very dearly.

He watches over him to make sure he doesn't get hurt, almost as if he were his real father.

His real father So Master, this means your training journey is finished, right?

That's right.

I can't very well stay away from the dojo any longer than this.

Well then, I can come back to the dojo too, right?

You promised me when you left, after all.

When I get back, we will live together again Until that day, we shall briefly part ways.

You will go on living here.

But why?

You're breaking your promise?

That's not it.

I have decided that this is the best environment for you.

You are to live here.

Whether by accident or by inevitability, your having come to live here is, for you, the I hate this place! It's like being in lukewarm water, feeling like I'm turning into a prune! Sometimes I hate it so much, I can't stand it! That isn't so, is it, Kyo?

You don't hate it Tonight the teacher is going to stay over, right?

Um, I'm not sure where the master is going to be sleeping.

I'm going to go ask.

I will apologize in advance for tonight, that by removing it, things may be thrown into turmoil.

That again Why have you decided to do that, all of a sudden?

Today, looking at that boy's face seeing her, I wonder if she couldn't open that boy's heart I also wonder if she would be able to face him Right now is the best time to find out.

That is what I have decided.

You're going to entrust everything to her, then?

Kazuma-dono, you, too?

Still, this won't necessarily be successful.

There's also the possibility that this time, Kyo really will be broken.

He may come to hate even you, and never smile again.

Even so, you're going to gamble it all?

Whoa, what is this?

How did you get it to turn out like this?

Master, you really aren't any good at this, huh?

Mm-mm.

That shows that even I require more training.

Even so Even so, I will gamble on her How cruel this has to be, for Tohru-kun as well.

Even so Even so Yes?

Would you lend me some of your time this evening?

Yes Look, Master If you want to talk to me, we don't necessarily have to do it outside, right?

You know I can't handle it on days like today.

Yes, I know.

My grandfather was the same way.

I understand that he often felt terrible on rainy days.

Whether it was because he was Cat-possessed, or whether it was because the original form of his evil spirit hated the rain The time is nearly here, when you must come to grips with your original form, or you cannot move forward.

I have come to grips with it! My life it was something that ended the moment I was born Cat-possessed, you see?

And that it's that Rat's it's all his fault, as well And that he's been the main offender, right from the start, too! You haven't changed, have you?

Are you going to go on living like this?

With your ears plugged, and your eyes closed?

He covers everything up with his hatred for Yuki.

Is that the only way you can sustain yourself?

And so And so, is that how you are going to die?

All alone?

Like my grandfather did You told me, didn't you, that you hated this place?

But that's not so.

You don't hate it; you're just trying to run away.

I understand how that warmth, what you labeled as "lukewarm water," has been soothing what it is you bear.

But you do not want the truth your original form to be known.

You fear that if it is known, you will lose it.

You are only trying to run away from such ambiguous circumstances! - No I'm not! - In which case! In which case, I will take from you your means of escape.

Let us come to the conclusion of whether it will be lost, or whether it will not be.

Kyo Let us see if your life really is something that has ended It's all right I love you that's why I'm not going to show you to anybody.

Nobody look at my child Don't look Don't look! It's disgusting! Don't look!! Now let us circle together, around a pleasant dinner.

Come, take today's tears, and make them tomorrow's strength.

La, la, la Wonderful love and life La, la, la Adorable love and life La, la, la Wonderful love and life That is the other form that, as one possessed by the Cat, he had kept hidden.

Only humans who are possessed by the Cat become that grotesque form.

Was it revolting to you?

Did you think it frightening?
