Hana Yori Dango Vol.28, P.157-181 P.157 (title page) P.158 (Tsukushi, all dressed in her school uniform, shields her eyes against the sky) Tsukushi: Arg, Tsukushi: the sun's so bright. (flashback to the night before) ~Tsubaki: (shaking Tsukushi) [no! you can't go to sleep yet!] ~Tsubaki: [I haven't seen you in so long!] (Tsukushi leans against the lockers for support) Tsukushi: So much happened last night, that I didn't get a wink of sleep... Tsukushi: I just want to go home and take a nap... P.159 ~Tsubaki: Ehhh?? You two haven't been on a date yet?! ~Tsukushi: Eh, well, the SPs are-- ~Tsubaki: No buts about it, Tsukushi-chan! ~Tsubaki: Young folk like you shouldn't be sneaking around after the sun sets! ~Doumyouji: You sound more and more like Tama these days, sis. [just like an old bag] (Tsubaki punches her brother) ~Tsubaki: It comes down to the fact that there are memories you can only make at this age! ~Tsukushi: [umm] ~Tsubaki: Besides, is it fun Tsukushi-chan? ~Tsubaki: It can't possibly be fun. P.160 ~Tsubaki: Couples bound together by thrills may feel very close in the beginning, ~Tsubaki: but the relationship can go bad easily if the situation goes to excess. (Tsukushi reflects on Tsubaki's words) voice: [kya kya] (a student couple chats playfully nearby) girl: [no way!] Tsukushi: I too once longed for a normal romance. Tsukushi: But I suppose I gave all that up once he became the "significant other". P.161 Tsukushi: And even if you wouldn't call us exactly normal, it's not like there hasn't been progess. Tsukushi: Progress... (she pictures him leaning over her, kissing her neck) Tsukushi: [GYA] (Tsukushi does a flip off the side of the lockers) Tsukushi: Oh no, I remembered it again!! P.162 (she staggers against the lockers) Tsukushi: Arg, enough already! Just remembering it makes me embarrassed! (her cell phone starts to ring, and she pulls it out weakly) Tsukushi: Uh, hello...? voice: Tsukushi?! Tsukushi: Yuuki?! Yuuki: I finally got ahold of you! I've been calling you over and over again. Tsukushi: I turned off my phone during class. Tsukushi: But how are you doing?! I was worried since you haven't been coming to work... Yuuki: Sorry. I'll tell you everything the next time we meet, but I'm in a hurry right now! (pause) Tsukushi: Nishikado-san? P.163 Tsukushi: I'm not sure... I haven't seen the F4 yet today. (she walks out of the school building into the open air, and spots Doumyouji and Rui standing nearby) Tsukushi: Oh. Tsukushi: Hold on a minute, Yuuki. Tsukushi: Doumyouji, Hanazawa Rui! Doumyouji: (turning around) Hey. Tsukushi: (running over) Do you know where Nishikado-san is? Doumyouji: Soujirou...? Doumyouji: I haven't seen him today. P.164 Tsukushi: (to Yuuki) Doumyouji's calling him right now. Tsukushi: ...... Say Yuuki, Tsukushi: Are you alright? (Yuuki looks up from the town street where she's standing) Yuuki: Of course I am. Yuuki: But pray for me, Tsukushi. (um, I'm not sure if that's exactly what she said... ) P.165 (Tsukushi is speechless) Doumyouji: He's not at home. And he didn't answer his cell either. Yuuki: Thanks, I heard. I'll keep looking. Tsukushi: Yuuki, I'm hanging up now, but I'll call you back later! Tsukushi: Her voice sounded clearer, as if she's made some big decision. Tsukushi: I'm going to go check out some places Nishikado-san might be! Doumyouji: Hah? Are you dumb? Like he'd be in the places you'd look. Tsukushi: Then, what else am I supposed to do?? P.166 Tsukushi: Ah! Rui, come along and show me around! (Rui points at himself, making a really weird face. Doumyouji whaps him on the head.) Doumyouji: I'm going. [geez, aren't you relying on the wrong person?] Tsukushi: Ehh?! But what about the SP?? Doumyouji: This is no time to be saying that, right? If luck is with us, they won't find us. (he pats her on the head roughly) Doumyouji: We're going. P.167 Tsukushi: ........ Okay. Tsukushi: Her voice was point-blank, leaving no gap for me to interfere. (Tsukushi and Yuuki search the streets, linked by their cell phones) Tsukushi: Good luck, Yuuki. Tsukushi: Good luck. Doumyouji: [what's taking you so long?] Tsukushi: {wheeze wheeze} Tsukushi: [you walk too fast] P.168 Tsukushi: There was nothing else I could say to her. (Doumyouji walks out of a club) Tsukushi: Was he there? Doumyouji: Nope. They haven't seen him in a while. Doumyouji: Is he hiding out or something? (Tsukushi is looking in the opposite direction) Tsukushi: Ah! Yuuki, over here! Yuuki: (running over) Tsukushi. Yuuki: Was he in there? Tsukushi: Nope, no luck. Yuuki: (bowing) I'm sorry to drag you into this too, Doumyouji-san. Doumyouji: Damn straight! What time do you think it is?? (Tsukushi kicks him in the side) Doumyouji: Oww! Tsukushi: (looking at her watch) Uh oh, it's going to be dawn soon. [it's already 4:30] Tsukushi: Maybe you should just try again tomorrow? He's probably gone home by now. (Yuuki is pensive for a moment, sweating) P.169 (then she smiles tiredly) Yuuki: Thank you both. You two can go home now. Yuuki: I'm just going to take one more look around Shibuya. Tsukushi: Yu... (Tsukushi's voice trails off as she sees a young man walking towards them from the opposite direction) Tsukushi: Ah. (Tsukushi's face is frozen in surprise) Yuuki: [eh?] Tsukushi: Th...there he is!!! Soujirou: Woah! P.170 Soujirou: ... What am I, big-foot? [you scared me...] Soujirou: What are you all doing out here at this hour? (a short time later) Doumyouji: So what was this all about anyway? Tsukushi: I dunno. Doumyouji: You had us search all over the place without knowing?!! P.171 Tsukushi: Yeah, but, Tsukushi: I'm sure it must've been something very important. Doumyouji: ...... I wonder. Tsukushi: Hey, I guess the SPs didn't find us after all. Tsukushi: The ones from your house must be pretty dumb, huh? Doumyouji: Makino, Doumyouji: I also have something important I'd like to talk about. P.172 (somewhere not too far away, Yuuki is running down the street while Soujirou lags behind) Soujirou: What is this? Where are we going, Yuuki-chan? Yuuki: You'll understand when we get there! I can't explain! Soujirou: Give me a break. I already pulled an all-nighter yesterday. Yuuki: (spinning around) Nishikado-san! (his eyes turn to dots) Soujirou: Yes? Yuuki: There are times when you just have to go! Yuuki: Because the buildings here might disappear if you wait until tomorrow. Yuuki: There's a tea ceremony term for this. Yuuki: Um, er-- P.173 (Soujirou's eyes widen) Yuuki: Agh, my head's so frazzled that I can't remember! Soujirou: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Yuuki: Yeah, that's it! Yuuki: The building's just over there. Follow me please! Yuuki: Climb to the roof! Yuuki: There's only 10 minutes left. P.174 (Yuuki runs up the stairs) Yuuki: Hurry, Nishikado-san! (Soujirou stares after her) ~Sara: I'll be waiting, so ~Sara: I want you to come. (he runs up the stairs after her) (eventually they reach the top, and Yuuki throws open the door) (she leans over out of breath, as Soujirou follows her onto the rooftop) Yuuki: {haa haa haa} Yuuki: I wonder if we made it in time. P.175 (she points towards Tokyo Tower) Yuuki: Now keep your eyes on that direction. (he stares out at the skyline, as dawn begins to break) P.176 (the glare from the sun blurs out the letters on the Ishidaya Sukiyaki and Cafe Jirou buildings, leaving only "Suki" and "Jirou" visible) (note: "suki" means "like/love") Yuuki: For about 3 minutes after 5am every morning, the reflection from the rising sun causes this message to appear. (Soujirou is stunned) P.177 Yuuki: So she called you Jirou. (there's a pause, then...) Soujirou: [heh] This is so stupid. Soujirou: She called me out first thing in the morning to show me this? Soujirou: ........ You gotta be kidding me. P.178 (Soujirou puts his hand over his face as tears start to stream down) Soujirou: It's so stupid... (watching him, Yuuki starts to cry as well) Yuuki: ...... I think what she would be thinking Yuuki: if she could see you now is, P.179 Yuuki: Jirou, Yuuki: thank you for coming. (Soujirou buries his face in his hand, as the morning light envelopes him) P.180 (meanwhile elsewhere) Tsukushi: ........ The important talk, was about a date? Tsukushi: I see, I was wondering what you were going to bring up. Tsukushi: [I wasn't expecting it to be this though] Tsukushi: True. I suppose if we go out between night and morning we're less likely to be discovered. Doumyouji: In the afternoon. Tsukushi: ... What are you saying? (Doumyouji reaches into his pocket) Doumyouji: I bought tickets for a flight to New York. Doumyouji: By the time they find out, we'll already have landed. P.181 (he holds up an airline ticket) Doumyouji: So let's go.
