YukiI think I'll go back to the main house for New Year's.
Yuki
Just for one night. I'll come back the evening of New Year's Day.
Something up, Yuki-kun? That doesn't sound like you. Did you hit your head?
Yuki
I did not. ...I'll be going.
Hmm...if you're going to bother going back, you should take your time--stay longer than a night.
Yuki
...Well...I'm not sure of leaving the two of them alone.
[to Kyo] YOU...YOU BEAST!
Not to worry, Tohru-kun! We'll put together a plan to protect you from the evil clutches of fiendish Kyo-kun.
Yuki
[to Kyo] Beast.
I'm gonna kill you both. Together.
Yuki
[while picking up Machi's things] Hey. Is this the maple leaf I gave you?
MMachi
[wide eyes] No! Give it back! I was so asleep I even packed that...
Yuki
Oh...maybe I have the wrong leaf.
Yuki
Okay. Sorry. Of course it was a different leaf.
MMachi
...but you're not...technically wrong.
Yuki
Which is it, Machi?
MMachi
I mean, there isn't any hidden meaning behind it. I just wasn't sure about throwing it away, so I made a bookmark. I made it myself. There's nothing beyond that...
Yuki
Thank you.
Yuki
[smiling] Well, you're taking good care of it! I'm glad.
MMachi
[blushing, embarrassed] I...I'M NOT TAKING CARE OF IT!
Yuki
HUH? But...you made a bookmark.
MMachi
Slamming it into books doesn't mean I'm taking care of it!
Yuki
But you're using it because you like it, right?
MMachi
I don't like it! It's big and hard to use-in fact, you can have it back!
Yuki
Don't give it back!
[arriving on the scene, and seeing Yuki and Machi arguing/fighting] Hunh. I kind of want to ask, but I also kinda don't. Do I risk it?
Yuki
Ask. Take the risk.
Yuki
...the short version here, is that Machi is being inflexible!
The short version tells me jack...
MMachi
This has nothing to do with you, Manabe! So stay out of this, you SAUCEPAN!
Why do we have to go around introducing ourselves to all the clubs? It's not like we're idols that have just started out. They know who we are.
Yuki
We have to show how we're here to help them.
We DO help them. We're the School Defence Force that fights against EVIL, you know.
Yuki
Can you stop saying that with a straight face? It makes me nervous...and who exactly do you mean by "evil", anyways?
I'm still taking applications.
Kyo, I heard you gave Tohru a little scare while you were prowling around last night. [singsong voice]: Kyo's a stalker. Kyo's a stalker.
YOU ARE SO FULL OF IT! AND YOU- [Tohru] NEXT TIME YOU NEED SOMEONE TO WALK YOU HOME, DON'T LOOK AT ME!
That's okay. Anyway, I'd much see you here at the table like this more often. I'm glad you're eating. How do you like the food?
Hmm? [he looks at Yuki; he groans] What do you want?!
Yuki
Nothing.
Yuki
No, just looking.
WELL, I GUESS THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING!
NO, I DON'T! [Tohru's mouth gaps open, silence]
By the way, this is the one and only Tohru Honda. You came to see her today, right?
Hmm? ...Oh, yes, that's right! I'm sorry about earlier. I am Yuki's older brother, Ayame.
Oh, right! Pleased to meet you!
So you really do exist. The princess I've heard so much about. [Tohru smiles nervously] A single, blooming flower trapped in a house with stinking men. Are they treating you well, princess?
Shigure [nervously]: You make it sound that she's been kidnapped.
Yuki [angrily, but coolly]: Brother, you're being rude. Stop making fun of her!
Making fun? Honestly, I'm giving Tohru nothing, but the highest respect. So princess, why don't you bring us some tea? [he pats the table] And lunch would be nice.
YKYuki and Kyo
THAT'S NOT RESPECT!
Of course; you're right. What was I thinking? Let me try again. [he holds his hand out] Come, Tohru. [they skip together] We're going out to eat!
Don't worry; it's my treat! [he laughs giddily; the door closes; Kyo and Yuki glare at Shigure]
Shigure [nervously]: Now there's use getting angry at me.
Yuki
oh it says not to hold it in your hands or point it at people or buildings.
[Hatsuharu points bottle rocket at Kyo]
It's all right. I'm sure you can dodge it, Kyo. I believe in you.
Just think of it as a dodge ball with rockets.
