Hana Yori Dango Vol.27, P.132-184
P.132
(Tsukushi stands outside her aparment with the police)
cop: Do you remember what the man looked like?
Tsukushi: Not really. The light was coming from the opposite direction, so his 
features were darkened. I'm pretty sure he was young though...
Tsukushi: As soon as I cried out, he rushed back out the window.
cop: Alright. We'll check for fingerprints and see what we can do. 
P.133
Tsukushi: I can't believe we had a burgler this quickly after moving..........
cop: We get a lot of panty thieves in this area. Are you living alone, miss?
Tsukushi: [geh] Panty thieves?!
Tsukushi: No, I'm with my little brother.
Tsukushi: Give me a break!
cop: Oh good. If your brother's around then you should be able to relax.
Tsukushi: Relax? Er, actually........
Tsukushi: that's him over there.
(Susumu huddles inside the apartment, chattering away under a blanket)
cops & Tsukushi: ........ .........
cop: ........ Oh well, if anything else happens please call 110.
(does anyone else think the policeman looks kinda creepy in this picture?)
cop: Ah, and I don't recommend trying to attack trespassers on your own, miss. 
P.134
cop: The criminal might turn on you, and do you in. They're generally armed and 
dangerous.
cop: But we'll be patrolling the neighborhood and doing our part.
cop: (waving) Lock all your doors and windows tonight, and just try to get some 
sleep.
(the police leave)
Susumu: (from under the blanket) D-d-did he say they're armed and dangerous, 
sis?
(Tsukushi punches her brother)
Tsukushi: Will you pull yourself together already?!
Susumu: [waah]
Susumu: (holding his face) What about you, sis?? You called some random number 
screaming for help!
Tsukushi: Shut up! I accidentally hit redial when I was trying to call the 
police!
{BAM} 
P.135
Susumu: ........ Did you just hear the door go "bam"?
Tsukushi: Susumu, go and see who it is.
Susumu: Ehh?? No way! It's probably the criminal coming back again!
(Tsukushi strangles her brother with her arms)
Tsukushi: Do you call yourself a man?!
Tsukushi: Show some courage when someone is trying to steal your older sister's 
underwear...!
(Tsukushi and Susumu hold up frying pans)
Tsukushi: I'm going to go check it out. It's probably not even him.
Susumu: I-I know.
Tsukushi: Ok, I'm going to open it.
(Tsukushi turns the handle) 
P.136
(as soon as the door opens, they throw their frying pans into the face of the 
person standing on the other side)
{gong}
Susumu: [kyaa kyaa]
Tsukushi: You pervert!
Susumu: [uwaaa]
Susumu: Y-yeah creep! You don't even want my sister's underwear, trust me!
(the frying pans fall to the floor)
{clang clang}
(Tsukushi and Susumu, who's back under the blanket, both stare at the visitor 
speechlessly)
Tsukushi: ..........
Susumu: ..................!! 
P.137
Tsukushi: [!!]
Susumu: Ah...
Susumu: Ahh!
(Doumyouji glares at them with narrowed eyes)
Doumyouji: ... That hurt. 
P.138
(he stands before them, shrouded in darkness, in a white bathrobe)
Doumyouji: You wake me up in the middle of the night in a panic, I come over 
here worried, and this is the welcome I get?
Susumu: S...sis, why is Doumyouji-san here?
(flashback to Doumyouji lying in bed, half-asleep and cringing, holding a cell 
phone up to his ear)
~Tsukushi: (from the phone) [kyaa kyaa! help! burgler, burgler!]
Tsukushi: I... I forgot. [you were the last one to call me]
Doumyouji: [YOU FORGOT?] 
P.139
Doumyouji: So? Did that guy do anything to you?
Tsukushi: ........ No, I cried out and he ran away.
Doumyouji: Geez. If I had been here I would've thumped him over the head.
Doumyouji: Why did you have to move to a place with such poor security?
Susumu: Um... if I may humbly ask--
Susumu: Why is Doumyouji-san here??
Tsukushi: Geh.
Tsukushi: Wh...why, you ask?
Tsukushi: [how am I gonna get out of this one?]
Doumyouji: Well...
(Doumyouji gets a weird look on his face)
Doumyouji: that is-- 
P.140
Doumyouji: (to Susumu) little brother.
Susumu: When did I become your little brother?!
Tsukushi: [HEY!]
(a short time later)
Susumu: R...really? You're really dating my sister?!
Susumu: ........ Wow.
Tsukushi: Don't tell our parents about this!
Susumu: I won't. If I did, dad would stop working again.
Susumu: But this is really amazing. Doumyouji-san and my sister...
Doumyouji: Your big sister just loves me soo much.
Tsukushi: I didn't go that far. 
P.141
Tsukushi: The nervousness and fear from before has all dissipated.
Tsukushi: All because he showed up...
Doumyouji: I can't believe the size of this room. Don't you guys find it hard to 
breath in here?
Susumu: Not at all.
Tsukushi: I find it very cozy.
Doumyouji: And after I went to all the trouble to rent you that condo.
Doumyouji: You enjoy suffering, don't you?
Tsukushi: It's not that I enjoy it. I'd like to live comfortably, but this is 
just the way things are.
Doumyouji: Whatever you say.
(=P I think she stubbornly clings to poverty...) 
P.142
Tsukushi: Even though I wanted to live comfortably,
Tsukushi: I fell in love with guy who leads me into so much hardship.
Tsukushi: I'm stuck.
(Stop whining, when you have such a beautiful boyfriend! Baka...!)
Doumyouji: See you later then. If anything else happens, call me.
Tsukushi: ...... Yeah sure.
Doumyouji: When they catch that guy I'm gonna kill him.
Tsukushi: When you say it, it's scary even as a joke.
Tsukushi: [I think I'll just call the police next time]
Doumyouji: Moron. It's not a joke.
Doumyouji: What about next door? What kind of person is living there?
Tsukushi: The apartment next door is empty.
Doumyouji: Hmm.
Doumyouji: Anyway, lock up tight and go straight to bed. Got it?
Tsukushi: Uh,
Tsukushi: ok.
(he looks at her for a moment) 
P.143
(then leans down and whispers in her ear)
Doumyouji: Or would you rather come to my place and sleep with me?
(Tsukushi's eyes widen)
Doumyouji: It was a joke, dummy.
Doumyouji: We'll save that for later. Your brother's here after all.
(Doumyouji gets into his car and drives away, leaving Tsukushi frozen in the 
middle of the road) 
P.144
Tsukushi: "We'll save that for later"?!!
Tsukushi: Don't I have some say in it??
(in a bar)
Akira: Huh, I have to hand it to her.
Soujirou: Right? Just what you'd expect from a friend of Makino's.
Akira: So? Are you going to eat her up, Soujirou?
Soujirou: No way. I don't go for that type.
Akira: You're going to miss a golden opportunity?
Soujirou: You could say that.
Soujirou: Maybe I'm just afraid of Makino's wrath. 
P.145
Akira: Oh yeah, that reminds me, what's that phrase you're always using?
Akira: I haven't heard you say it recently though.
Akira: What was it again? Hmm.
Soujirou: The tea world's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity....
Soujirou: Akira, weren't you supposed to meet someone tonight?
(Akira looks at his watch)
Akira: Oh yeah! Ouch, it's already 6 o'clock.
Akira: We only have until 10 o'clock tonight.
Soujirou: Adultery takes a lot of work, doesn't it?
Akira: I can't be straight-laced like you, man. Seeya later!
(Soujirou smiles until Akira leaves, then his expression goes somber) 
P.146
voice: Pardon me.
(a couple of girls approach him)
girl: We were wondering if you'd like to join us for a drink?
(Soujirou smiles at them)
Soujirou: Sorry, I have something I have to do.
Soujirou: If I see you girls around later, invite me out again.
(Soujirou stares at the piece of paper with Yuuki's phone number on it)
Soujirou: ... Here goes. 
P.147
Soujirou: I'll have to try a different method.
(in the back of the dango shop)
Yuuki: Eh? You're even looking for another job?!
(Tsukushi and Yuuki change clothes)
Tsukushi: Yeah, I have utilities to pay for and a lot of other new expenses. So 
I'm thinking of working as a waitress in the evening.
Yuuki: Will your body be able to handle it?
Tsukushi: I'll be fine. I'm a sturdy girl.
Yuuki: I guess it's just like you to work even though you have a rich boyfriend, 
but still.
Tsukushi: Boyfriend?!
Yuuki: But he is your boyfriend.
Tsukushi: (turning red) I... I guess that is the proper term for it.
Tsukushi: [but everytime I hear that word my heart stops]
Yuuki: ........ Hey, Tsukushi. 
P.148
Yuuki: Have you and Doumyouji-san had sex yet?
Tsukushi: Hah?
Yuuki: Not yet?
Tsukushi: O-of course not! Eh?
Tsukushi: Why are you bringing that subject up?!
Yuuki: Why haven't you? If you love him it should be natural.
Tsukushi: Geh!
Yuuki: ........ Why do you say "geh"? [geez]
(a phone rings)
Yuuki: Ah, it's my cell.
Tsukushi: [what should I say.....?]
Yuuki: (into the phone) Yes, hello? 
P.149
~Doumyouji: Do you want to come to my place and sleep with me?
Tsukushi: That's natural..........?
Yuuki: Oh... okay!
Yuuki: Eh? Ah... it's alright. Right now?!
Tsukushi: I guess it's inevitable?
Yuuki: Y-yes, I understand.
(Yuuki hangs up her phone and stares at it)
Tsukushi: Yuuki?
Yuuki: Tsukushi, I have a big favor to ask!
Yuuki: Lend me your skirt! 
P.150
Tsukushi: My skirt??!
Yuuki: Please. I came in pants today.
Tsukushi: Sure, I guess.
Tsukushi: You have lipstick with you too, right?! Let me use it!
Yuuki: Does my hair look okay?
Tsukushi: Yeah, it's fine... What's going on??
Yuuki: Sorry, I'm leaving first! Bye!
Tsukushi: Ah! Yuuki?!
(Yuuki runs out the door, leaving Tsukushi bare-legged and dumbfounded in the 
back room)
(Tsukushi walks down the street in Yuuki's pants)
Tsukushi: I wonder what happened...?
Tsukushi: And now I'm stuck in this mismatched outfit... 
P.151
Tsukushi: Thinking about it with a cool head, I guess I understand.
Tsukushi: Once a girl meets a guy she likes, she does a lot of crazy things.
(Tsukushi arrives at her waitressing job)
waiter: This is Makino-san, who will be working with us from today.
Tsukushi: Nice to me you all. I'll do my best!
employees: Nice to meet you.
cook: Here's order 15.
cook: Orders 16 and 27.
Tsukushi: Ok!
Tsukushi: Still,
Tsukushi: I'm getting desperate dealing with all these various happenings.
(back at the apartment)
Tsukushi: I'm home............! 
P.152
Susumu: Welcome home...
(Susumu rubs his eyes)
Tsukushi: Did you doze off?
Susumu: A little. Are we going to the baths now?
Tsukushi: Yeah, I think they're open until 12 o'clock.
Tsukushi: I have the smell of food all over me, so I really want to take one.
Susumu: Ah, sis.
Susumu: Someone has moved in next door.
Tsukushi: Really? From tonight?
Susumu: Yeah, the lights are on over there.
Tsukushi: ............ It's kinda late, but if they're awake we should go over 
and introduce ourselves.
Tsukushi: We both have school tomorrow, so we won't be able to go then.
Susumu: ........ What if it's some weird guy? Maybe it's the burgler from 
yesterday.
Tsukushi: Stop it. That's not funny, even as a joke. 
P.153
(Tsukushi knocks on the door of the nextdoor apartment)
{knock knock}
Tsukushi: Good evening.
Tsukushi: Sorry to bother you at this hour, but we're the Makinos from next 
door.
Tsukushi: [I'm so sleepy...]
Tsukushi: We just moved in yesterday, so we've come by to introduce 
ourselves...........
(the door opens)
(Tsukushi looks up in shock)
voice: Oh. I was just about to go over there. 
P.154
(Doumyouji stands in the doorway in a "Pinks" shirt)
Doumyouji: I started renting this place today.
Doumyouji: It's weird........ There's no bathtub.
Doumyouji: Do you have one in your place?
(Tsukushi is too stunned to move or speak) 
P.155
Doumyouji: Eh? Wait.
Doumyouji: Don't tell me,
Doumyouji: I'm supposed to wash my body in the kitchen sink?!
Tsukushi: This is the most astounding of all the happenings recently. 
P.156
Doumyouji: ...... A public bathhouse?
Doumyouji: You mean common people all bathing together?!
Tsukushi: Doumyouji has moved into the apartment nextdoor. 
P.157
(Yuuki and Soujirou are having dinner together at a nice restuarant)
Yuuki: Tsukushi has been very spirited ever since junior high.
Yuuki: There were a lot of girls who looked up to her back then.
Yuuki: I guess you could call her a little hot-headed though.
Soujirou: Spirited, huh?
Soujirou: There are times when she snaps completely,
Soujirou: and then her eyes turn into triangles, like this. 
P.158
Soujirou: I guess when it comes to being hot-tempered, Tsukasa and Makino are 
suited for eachother.
Soujirou: Actually, I don't think there's anyone else besides Makino who's 
qualified to date him.
Yuuki: But I'm really that Tsukushi has finally started being honest with 
herself.
waiter: Here is the dessert special for tonight.
(the waiter lays the dish onto the table)
Yuuki: Waa, it looks so good.
Soujirou: Now that I think about it,
Soujirou: all we ever do is talk about Makino and Tsukasa.
Soujirou: Okay, from now on let's not do that.
Soujirou: This is our night,
Soujirou: so let's talk about us. 
P.159
(Yuuki blushes)
Yuuki: A-alright.
Soujirou: And you don't have to speak to me so formerly. Just talk casually.
Yuuki: Eh?! Casually??
Soujirou: Talk to me like you would to a friend.
Yuuki: Even if you say so, it's hard for me to switch so quickly.
Soujirou: Then let's practice. Tell me what happened at school today.
Yuuki: (bright red) Uh... er.
Yuuki: To-totay--
Yuuki: Today, I mean,
Yuuki: I at-attended classes and P.E.. I mean I went to them, I mean--
Yuuki: Hu... huh? 
P.160
Soujirou: [bwahaha]
Soujirou: Th...that's so interesting-- [hehe]
Soujirou: Sorry, funny I mean. [hehe]
Yuuki: Did I
Yuuki: just say something funny? [huh?]
Yuuki: It's no good. I can't switch to casual speech that quickly.
Yuuki: Ahh, I'm all sweaty.
Soujirou: Oh well, we'll take it gradually tonight.
Yuuki: Tonight?
Soujirou: Are you full? Did you have enough to eat?
Yuuki: Ah, yes. It was very delicious. 
P.161
Soujirou: There's only one dessert plate left.
Yuuki: Eh? But we just ate dessert.
(Soujirou holds up a plate with a napkin covering the top of it)
Soujirou: Tadaa. It's under here.
Soujirou: Go ahead and do the unveiling.
Yuuki: ?
(Yuuki lifts up the napkin) 
P.162
(a hotel key card lies in the center of the plate)
Soujirou: I got us a room above here.
Soujirou: Shall we go? 
P.163
(back at Tsukushi's apartment building)
Tsukushi: Why did you rent out the nextdoor apartment?!
Doumyouji: Because it was empty.
(Susumu loks around Doumyouji's room)
Susumu: Woow, it's like a perfect replica of our room.
Susumu: Doumyouji-san, you didn't bring any luggage with you?
Tsukushi: Y...you rented it because it was empty? What kind of answer is 
that...?
Doumyouji: Yeah, it's just for me to stay in when I drop by occasionally. 
P.164
Tsukushi: ........ What is the all-mighty son of the Doumyouji family thinking??
Tsukushi: Besides, what if the spies from your house find out that you've rented 
an apartment here??
Doumyouji: It's fine. I already silenced the landlord.
Susumu: Silenced him? How did you do that?
Doumyouji: With money.
Doumyouji: In return for his guarantee, I'm paying 200,000 (yen) a month for 
this place.
Tsukushi & Susumu: Two... two-hundred thousand?!
Doumyouji: The world is a very simple place when you've got the cash.
Tsukushi: A...are you stupid? [the landlord probably thinks you're the easy one]
Tsukushi: Two... 200,000? For this dingy, bathless apartment? 
P.165
Susumu: But it's such a relief, sis.
Susumu: If Doumyouji-san is here, he can catch the burgler if he comes back.
Tsukushi: A relief... I guess... Maybe I should rely on him in this 
case............
Susumu: Oh yeah! The bath!
Susumu: We have to hurry, or it'll close!
Susumu: Do you want to come with us, Doumyouji-san?
Tsukushi: Susumu... there's no way he'd go to a bathhouse... [it wouldn't suit 
Mr. king-of-the-mountain]
Doumyouji: (cheerfully) I'll go.
Tsukushi: Ehh?!
Doumyouji: Oh, but I don't have my swim trunks with me.
Tsukushi: Swim trunks?! You don't need those!
Doumyouji: Huh? There's no pool or gym there?
Tsukushi: Like there would be! 
P.166
(the three of them walk down the street together)
Tsukushi: How did we end up in this weird situation??
Doumyouji: So you bring along a towel and a wash basin? Huh.
Susumu: I've brought along a towel for you too, Doumyouji-san.
Tsukushi: ......
Doumyouji: A bath house sounds like an interesting place.
Tsukushi: He thinks everything is so simple.
Tsukushi: It's a little silly to move in nextdoor to someone, just because 
you're worried. 
P.167
Tsukushi: But still... his capacity for action is impressive.
(they arrive at the bathhouse) 
P.168
Doumyouji: Wooaah, it's so retro! There's even a chimney!
Tsukushi: I'll see you guys in about 40 minutes then.
Tsukushi: Susumu, you get to teach him everything since you invited him!
Tsukushi: Ahh, this is so embarrassing!
Susumu: (red faced) Fine. L-let's go, Doumyouji-san.
Doumyouji: Seriously, this is a public bathhouse?!
Tsukushi: Doumyouji and a public bathhouse are a big mismatch. I give him 10 
minutes at most.
Tsukushi: [heh] This is going to be funny... 
P.169
(Tsukushi sits on the girls' side of the bathhouse, washing her hair)
Tsukushi: It's been kind of a while since I've been to one of these. It feels 
pretty good.
(the sound of a guy's voice comes over the dividing wall)
Susumu: Doumyouji-san, you wash your body over here. 
P.170
Doumyouji: Hey, how do I get the water to come out of this thing?
Susumu: You press here and it'll come out.
(Tsukushi clutches her wash basin against her chest)
Doumyouji: Give me some shampoo, little brother.
Susumu: Okay!
Tsukushi: He... he can't see me, right?!
Tsukushi: I don't like this! (she dumps water over her head, then scrubs her 
body as fast as she can)
Tsukushi: I have to get out of here!
(she jumps into the bathing pool)
Susumu: Doumyouji-san, you have such a nice body!
(Tsukushi's face turns red)
Susumu: Do you do a lot of exercise?
Doumyouji: No, I just don't have any excess body fat. 
P.171
~Yuuki: Have you had sex with Doumyouji-san yet?
Tsukushi: It's because Yuuki said that!
{glub glub}
Tsukushi: How could she say something like that with such a cute face?!
Susumu: If I told sis she's be totally envious! She has excess body fat all 
over! [hahahaha]
Tsukushi: I'm going to kill him!
(Tsukushi walks out of the girls' side, the same time that Doumyouji and Susumu 
are walking out of the boys' side)
Tsukushi: I'm worn out...
Doumyouji: It's hot in there. 
P.172
(Doumyouji sees her)
Doumyouji: Oh.
Doumyouji: Nice timing.
Tsukushi: Yo!
Tsukushi: How was your first time at a bath house?
(Susumu and Doumyouji are all smiles)
Doumyouji: It was really interesting!
Susumu: Guess what, sis? I washed Doumyouji-san's back!
(Tsukushi's face turns tomato red)
Susumu: Sis, your face is all red. What are you imagining??
(she punches him out)
Doumyouji: Pervert.
Tsukushi: I-I am not!! 
P.173
Tsukushi: Doumyouji
Tsukushil: has jumped over the wall that I could never cross,
Tsukushi: and entered my world.
Tsukushi: And he makes it seem like nothing at all. 
P.174
(in Soujirou and Yuuki's hotel room)
Soujirou: Here we are.
Soujirou: What do you want to do? Take a shower first?
Yuuki: A shower...? Ah no, I--
Soujirou: Do you want something to drink?
Yuuki: N-no.
(Soujirou turns and looks at her) 
P.175
(he grabs her from behind)
Soujirou: Then, shall we get straight down to business?
Soujirou: Just relax.
(he turns her around, and starts to unbutton her blouse)
(Yuuki closes her eyes tightly) 
P.176
(Soujirou's face grows serious, and he rebuttons the blouse)
(he sits down on the bed)
Soujirou: Let's stop trying to do the impossible.
Soujirou: The fact is that you're not that type of girl.
Soujirou: It's not my style to take a frightened girl by force. 
P.177
Soujirou: This is the only way that I can spend time with women. But it's not 
what you want, right?
Soujirou: You should treasure yourself more. Your time will come eventually.
Yuuki: I want to treasure myself. I came here because I want to treasure these 
feelings. 
P.178
Yuuki: If this the only way I can spend time with you, then I'll do it.
Yuuki: I'll be fine!
Yuuki: It's only natural that my legs should tremble a little before my first 
time.
Soujirou: ........
(Yuuki's legs are shaking wildly)
Yuuki: I... I'll get them to stop soon.
(she tries to hold her legs still)
Yuuki: H...huh? 
P.179
Soujirou: I give up.
Soujirou: I thought I'd turn you away through a sort of shock treatment.
Soujirou: But you've outdone me, Yuuki-chan.
Yuuki: Shock treatment...?
Soujirou: I guess I have to tell you the truth to make you understand.
Soujirou: Although I never thought I'd talk about this to anyone. 
P.180
Soujirou: There was a girl that I loved.
Soujirou: But, during my first year of high school,
Soujirou: I hurt her terribly and it ended.
Soujirou: That's probably the only time I've ever been in love. 
P.181
(back at the apartment building)
Tsukushi: Geez, why didn't you at least bring a futon??
Tsukushi: You're lucky that we had an extra!
Doumyouji: Isn't this futon a little short?
Tsukushi: Don't complain!
Susumu: Sis, why don't you sleep with Doumyouji-san......?
(Tsukushi slaps him across the face several times)
Tsukushi: Ok, I'm going now. Goodnight.
Doumyouji: Yeah, thanks. 
P.182
(Tsukushi stares up at the ceiling, while Susumu lies deep in sleep next to her)
Tsukushi: Doumyouji is sleeping, just on the other side of that wall.
Tsukushi: I'm sure it's only because I took a hot bath right before bed, but-- 
P.183
(she and Doumyouji both lie in bed awake)
Tsukushi: my heart is beating so fast that I can't sleep. 
P.184
(filler page)
(Tsukushi wearing a simple bonnet, standing inside a flowing ribbon)
