Hana Yori DangoVol.25, P.135-178
P.135
(Amon is at his evening job, working as a club waiter)
girl: [kyaa] Amon! I haven't seen you in so long!
(she grabs his arm)
girl: You took some time off from working, didn't you? I came to see you all the 
time, but you were never here!
Amon: Sorry, I had a cold.
girl: Really? That's too bad.
girl: Say, I'm free tonight.
girl: Do you want to go to your place? 
P.136
Amon: No can do.
(she pouts)
girl: But why? Do you have some kind of errand to do tonight?
girl: Everyone's been talking about how reclusive you are these days.
girl: Wait,
girl: don't tell me you have a girlfriend?
Amon: You got it. 
P.137
girl: No way! You're joking, right?!
girl: You told me you never get serious about women!
(another waiter at the club stares in the opposite direction, stupified)
waiter: Hey, Amon.
waiter: Do you have a twin or something?
Amon: Twin?
(Amon turns around) 
P.138
(Doumyouji stands there staring at him)
Doumyouji: Come with me for a moment.
(they go out into the alley)
Amon: How did you find out where I work? 
P.139
Doumyouji: I convinced one of my mother's bodyguards to let it slip out.
Amon: Tsukasa-kun, you really do use violence for everything.
Amon: So? What do you want? Hurry up, so I can get back to work.
Doumyouji: Are you in love with Makino? 
P.140
Amon: [hah!]
Amon: Sorry for laughing, but your face just looked so serious when you said 
that.
Amon: To tell you the truth, I don't understand those sort of emotions.
Amon: But I understand her very well.
Amon: You don't get her at all, do you? 
P.141
Doumyouji: That girl belongs to me.
(Doumyouji walks away)
Doumyouji: That's all I came to say. Seeya.
Amon: Wait a second!
Amon: You're a very stubborn guy. Is it that much fun to chase after a girl 
who's running away from you? 
P.142
Doumyouji: This has nothing to do with you.
(at the dango shop)
Tsukushi: Yuuki, is it really alright for me to stay with you tonight?
Yuuki: Of course! You have your school uniform with you, right? 
P.143
Yuuki: I'm rather happy. It's been a while since you last stayed over.
Tsukushi: You haven't come by much lately in general. My sister has been saying 
that she wants to see you too.
Tsukushi: Ah, how is she doing these days?
Yuuki: She's great. She's lightened up on the make-up too.
(a customer walks into the shop)
Yuuki: Welcome!
Tsukushi: I have to force myself to smile.
(Tsukushi remembers being kissed by Amon, and seeing Doumyouji and Shigeru 
together in the cafe)
Tsukushi: Ever since that night, my heart and body have been divided.
Tsukushi: If I have to stay in a room alone, I'm sure I'll just drive myself 
crazy.
(Tsukushi stares off into space)
Yuuki: ............. Hey, Tsukushi.
Yuuki: Earth to Tsukushi. 
P.144
Tsukushi: Huh?
(Amon is standing inside the dango shop)
Amon: I got off work early tonight,
Amon: so I called your house and they told me you were here.
Yuuki: Oh... I see.
Yuuki: (turning to Tsukushi) Hey, why am I answering?
Amon: A dango shop, eh? What a quaint place to work. 
P.145
Yuuki: ............ Tsukushi?
Tsukushi: Are you here to purchase something?
Tsukushi: If not, then please leave.
Amon: Sorry.
Amon: I guess I got a little too physical before. 
P.146
Amon: It's because the women I'm normally surrounded by...
Amon: are all pretty loose.
Amon: Actually,
Amon: I've always been indifferent towards the world.
Amon: But lately it's been kinda fun somehow. 
P.147
Amon: I think it's because I met you, that I've started to feel this way.
(Tsukushi is silent for a moment, then...)
Tsukushi: I don't want you to touch me again.
Tsukushi: I'm not... ready for that sort of thing yet. 
P.148
Amon: Ok. I'll wait then.
Amon: It'll be like junior-high dating.
Amon: Seeya.
(he starts to walk out the door, then pauses)
Amon: Oh yeah.
Amon: I don't have school tomorrow, so why don't the two of us go somewhere 
together?
Amon: I'll pick you up after you finish school.
(he leaves) 
P.149
Yuuki: Tsukushi... What did you mean "don't touch me"?
Yuuki: I thought you said it wasn't that kind of relationship.
Tsukushi: Ahh, sorry. That was nothing.
Tsukushi: Oh, it looks like we've run out of "mitarashi". I'll go fill up the 
display again.
Yuuki: What... are you saying? 
P.150
Yuuki: This isn't you, Tsukushi!
Yuuki: What? You didn't think I'd realize it?!
Yuuki: You never smile for real anymore!
(the boss woman emerges from the back of the store to scold them)
boss: Girls, what are you doing?? The customers will hear you!
Yuuki: (to Tsukushi) I thought that I would wait... for you to talk to me. 
P.151
Tsukushi: Yu...Yuuki.
(Yuuki wipes at the tears on her face)
Yuuki: But... you never tell me your inner feelings,
Yuuki: like what you feel about Doumyouji-san.
Yuuki: I know you're worried about what might happen to my family and all,
Yuuki: but why can't you talk honestly with your best friend??
Yuuki: I can't stand it... 
P.152
Yuuki: I'm sorry... Tsukushi.
(at Tsukushi's home)
father: (on the phone) Ah! I'm very sorry!
(Tsukushi's father bows repeatedly)
mother: {b-bump b-bump b-bump b-bump b-bump}
father: Tsukushi is still out...! Yes, she said she wouldn't be coming home 
tonight!
Tsukushi: The moment I saw Yuuki's tears,
father: H...he called us again!
(Tsukushi's parents jump into the air)
mother: [kyahoo!]
father: What shall we do, mama??
Tsukushi: my dried out heart was replenished with moisture.
(someone hangs up a cell phone) 
P.153
Tsukushi: Something is changing inside of me.
(Doumyouji stares at his phone as he walks down the street)
Doumyouji: Where on earth has she run off to?
Doumyouji: I'm going to catch her, no matter what.
Tsukushi: It's like the premonition of a storm. 
P.154
(the next morning)
Yuuki: Bye, we're off to school!
Tsukushi: Thank you for having me over!
Mrs. Matsuoka: Have a nice day, Tsukushi-chan. Come again anytime.
Tsukushi: Thank you very much.
Mrs. Matsuoka: Yuuki, why do you have to dress in such a sloppy way??
Yuuki: Don't nag me. I'm going to a public highschool, so it's not that 
important what I wear.
Yuuki: Ahh, look at the time! We have to hurry Tsukushi!
Tsukushi: Yeah!
(the girls run down the street) 
P.155
Yuuki: I'm going to go down this side street, then take the bus!
Tsukushi: Ok, I have to go this way to get to the station.
Yuuki: See you at work then!
Tsukushi: (waving) Bye, and thanks!
Yuuki: You better hurry too, Tsukushi!
(Yuuki runs down the road)
Tsukushi: Yeah.
Tsukushi: My head is all muddled. 
P.156
Tsukushi: It's pretty easy for me to suppress my feelings though.
Tsukushi: I've been doing it for a long time.
Tsukushi: When I was dealing with the school bullying, I didn't want to give in 
only for my own sake.
Tsukushi: There was nothing to sacrifice or to lose.
Tsukushi: But this time it's different...
(her mind drifts back to eating dinner at Yuuki's house)
~Mrs. Matsuoka: Tsukushi-chan, have you had your fill already? 
P.157
~Yuuki: Ahh, mom! Dad's getting another beer!
~Mr. Matsuoka: So what? I have to slave away at work all day, so I might as well 
enjoy myself at home. Right, Tsukushi-chan?
~Tsukushi: Sure... ahaha.
~Mr. Matsuoka: That's a good laugh.
~Mr. Matsuoka: See? Tsukushi-chan is such a nice girl.
~Mr. Matsuoka: But you're becoming more like your mother every year, Yuuki.
~Mrs. Matsuoka: Dear...
~Yuuki: Geez, I'm only saying it because I'm worried!
~Yuuki: Liver diseases are becoming more common all the time!
~Mr. Matsuoka: What harm is a beer or two going to do to me?
Mr. Matsuoka: Fine, fine, I'll stop after this one.
~Mrs. Matsuoka: Yuuki, why don't you get the bath ready for Tsukushi-chan?
~Yuuki: Okaay. 
P.158
Tsukushi: I felt so guilty, sitting there with them.
Tsukushi: This is the family I almost destroyed.
Tsukushi: Yesterday I began to think that I have to start living like myself 
again.
Tsukushi: But, as long as my heart is like this, that's something I can't do.
(meanwhile, at Eitoku Academy, classes are actually in progress) 
P.159
(Doumyouji bursts into the classroom)
Doumyouji: (to the teacher) Is Makino here?!
teacher: Do-Domyouji-kun.
teacher: Eh? Ah, Makino-san? 
P.160
Asai: Makino-san is absent today.
Asai: Would you like me to give her a message...?
(Doumyouji walks out the door)
Asai: Ah.
(he walks down the hallway and runs into the rest of the F4)
Soujirou: Oh, Tsukasa.
Doumyouji: Do any of you know where Makino is? 
P.161
Rui: Tsukasa, aren't those the same clothes you wore yesterday? Didn't you go 
home last night?
Akira: Makino? I dunno. Haven't seen her.
Akira: Do you have some business with her?
(Doumyouji pulls out his cell phone and dials)
Doumyouji: Hello? This is Doumyouji.
Doumyouji: There's someone I'd like you to look for.
Doumyouji: Eitoku Academy, 2nd year student, Makino Tsukushi.
Doumyouji: You can find the details in our company's database. 
P.162
Doumyouji: Hah? Nevermind why.
Doumyouji: It doesn't matter, just find her.
Soujirou: ... Tsukasa, who did you just call?
Doumyouji: The Metropolitan Police Agency's investigative department.
F3: [ak?!] 
P.163
Akira: H-hey, Tsukasa!
Soujirou: What the hell is going on?!
(Doumyouji walks away without replying)
Akira: He's so reckless. Who involves national forces to find a single 
girl............?
Soujirou: Yeah, but he definitely seems serious about this......
(helicopters fly through the air) 
P.164
(and police cars swarm the streets)
civilian1: Look at all the patrol cars!
civilan2: I wonder if there was some sort of incident?
(Tsukushi sits on a sidewalk bench, next to a middle-aged woman)
Tsukushi: The world keeps turning,
Tsukushi: even though I'm lost in my own thoughts. 
P.165
Tsukushi: (to the woman next to her) Do you know if something happened?
woman: Who knows...? Maybe there's been a bank robbery.
(Tsukushi gets up)
Tsukushi: It's a dangerous world we live in.
woman: You take care of yourself, young lady.
Tsukushi: I should be fine. It's not like I have any money.
(she walks away)
(a policemen approaches the middle-aged woman)
cop: Excuse me maam, have you seen this girl anywhere around here?
(he shows her a picture of Tsukushi)
woman: Ahh! She-she was just here!
(the policemen run down the street, while Tsukushi looks into a store window)
cop: [this way!]
Tsukushi: So it's 2 o'clock already...
Tsukushi: Not much point in going to school... 
P.166
~Amon: I'll pick you up after school.
Tsukushi: Amon...
Tsukushi: I don't hate him.
Tsukushi: Probably...... he understands me better than anyone.
Tsukushi: But,
Tsukushi: even though he's stuck up, stupid, and selfish, exactly the type I 
hate, 
P.167
(Tsukushi thinks of Doumyouji)
Tsukushi: the more we're separated, the more I realize how much I like him.
Tsukushi: No! I can't think about that anymore!
Tsukushi: Even if I think about it, there's nothing I can do! 
P.168
(at Yuuki's house)
Mrs. Matsuoka: Tsukushi-chan...?
Mrs. Matsuoka: She did stay at our house last night, but she and Yuuki left for 
school a long while ago.
Doumyouji: I should've known she'd come here!
(he punches his right hand into his left angrily)
Mrs. Matsuoka: Ah... pardon me.
Doumyouji: Oh yeah.
Mrs. Matsuoka: Huh??
Doumyouji: I don't plan to cause any trouble for your family.
Doumyouji: If you'll excuse me, I have to be going. 
P.169
(Yuuki's mother runs back into the house)
Mrs. Matsuoka: A... a weird boy was here!
Mrs. Matsuoka: Lock all the doors!
(Amon waits by the gates of Eitoku Academy)
Tsukushi: Yo. Sorry I'm late.
Amon: Why are you coming from the outside?
Tsukushi: I skipped school today. 
P.170
Amon: Skipped school? That doesn't sound like serious Tsukushi.
Tsukushi: I felt like wandering around the streets, and the weather was really 
nice.
Amon: I bet you were thinking about pointless things again. Didn't I tell you 
not too?
(he flicks her on the forehead)
Tsukushi: Ow!
Amon: I haven't planned anything specific for us to do today. Should we go to an 
amusement park?
Tsukushi: Amusement park?
Tsukushi: You want to go on roller coasters?
Amon: Roller coasters? I'm not too good with those. 
P.171
Amon: I guess girls tend to like them.
Amon: They find them thrilling or something.
Amon: Hey, you're about to step in a puddle.
(Tsukushi jumps up)
Tsukushi: Ah!
Amon: Watch where you're walking.
Tsukushi: This person 
P.172
Tsukushi: roused me from my stupor.
Amon: Oh yeah, did you notice how many patrol cars are hanging around the city 
today?
Tsukushi: I saw helicoptors flying around too.
Tsukushi: I wonder what's happened.
Tsukushi: Even though there's only darkness in front of me,
Tsukushi: my feet... are somehow finding their way forward.
Tsukushi: I hope there aren't any criminals hanging about. 
P.173
Amon: No kidding. I've run into some bad types myself.
Amon: Around the time my parents left, my neighborhood really deteriorated.
Tsukushi: But then you escaped from all that, right?
Amon: Hah-ha. Well, as you know, that was all due to my deceiving you.
Tsukushi: But then you told me the truth. It angered me, but it was a lot better 
than being lied to.
Tsukushi: Lately I've come to think of you as a pretty good guy.
Amon: So it's okay to touch you now?
Tsukushi: !
Tsukushi: That's not what I was trying to say! 
P.174
Amon: [heh]
Amon: You really are a goody-goody.
Tsukushi: Excuse me... I'm pretty normal! Not all girls are like those easy 
types you hang out with!
Amon: This should be the right bus stop.
Tsukushi: Ah, yeah. The sign says that it goes to the amusement park.
Tsukushi: I've never been to one at night before.
Amon: I haven't been to one of these places in 15 years.
Tsukushi: Eh? That long? I went to one pretty recently...
Tsukushi: ............ 
P.175
(Tsukushi remembers being at an amusement park with Doumyouji. Was this when 
they were on that double-date with Yuuki and her loser boyfriend??)
Tsukushi: D...do you think they'll light the place up?
Amon: Probably.
Tsukushi: I have to trust that this pain in my heart will fade someday.
(Tsukushi glances over her shoulder) 
P.176
(she freezes) 
P.177
(Doumyouji stands nearby, looking tired and sweaty) 
P.178

(Doumyouji in a dark overcoat)
