Tsukushi Makino
A weed will always survive, wherever it goes.
And that's what I'm gonna do,
but I still can't believe I passed!
Maybe I was just seeing things...
Maybe in my heart, I wish I was seeing things...
"Our New Relationship"
It must be a joke!
Who'd have thought Tsukushi would pass?!
I don't believe it!
Good job, Tsukushi!
Tsukushi...
Tsukushi, you probably cheated.
Mm-hmm! I'll bet she did.
Tsukushi isn't like that!
If you bad-mouth Tsukushi, I won't forgive you!
My, what a pair you make...
Aargh!
Hold on-- don't sink to their level.
Hey! You two--
Heads up-- Tsukasa and his group are coming this way!
Ohh! Tsukushi actually passed!
Tsukushi Makino
That Tsukushi sure has willpower!
She really is something, to actually pass that exam.
Hey, Tsukasa!
Tsukushi Makino
It wasn't my imagination...
Tsukushi!
Congratulations, Tsukushi!
You did it, didn't you?!
Thanks, everybody...
Nice job, Tsukushi.
To be honest, I'm just as surprised as you.
But if you go away, it'll be pretty lonely around here.
Yes...
Kazuya...
Makiko...
Aw, come on! It's not as though we'll never see her again.
Let's not get so emotional.
That's right. I'll write letters. And there's always the phone, right?
I won't forget about you all!
Really? Promise, now...
I'll be rooting for you no matter where you are.
Me, too.
Thanks. I'll do my best.
It'll be good-bye to this garden soon.
I want you to come back.
I won't run away again.
Rui Hanazawa can hear the voice of the violin, once more.
And I...
I can change now.
Why not? It was the truth.
It may be the truth, but there are things that shouldn't be told.
You like to stuff everything inside of you.
Why don't you open up your heart?
I may not be able to open up my heart,
but I might be able to find something else.
Shigeru...
Are you really going?
I transferred here because you were here.
It'll be no fun if you leave.
Forget the exchange program and stay here... Please!
I'm sorry. I've made my decision.
Take good care... of Tsukasa.
Tsukushi!
I don't know what Shigeru is up to...
but I can't stay here.
For her sake... and for mine...
Tsukushi...
You're a very interesting person.
You're Shigeru Okawahara, aren't you?
Tsukushi is your rival in love...
so why would you try to keep her here?
Well...
If you feel like talking, come to the Health Room.
I might be able to help you out.
Tsukushi Makino
So, poor lil' Tsukushi's going on the exchange program?
Tsukasa...
Guess we should always excite the unexcited...
Huh?!
Don't you mean, "expect the unexpected?"
Your speech is as poor as ever.
Why, you...!
If I were you, I'd hit the books! In one year, I will be bilingual.
Bilingual? Do't you mean "bisexual?"
Bi--?! How dare you!
You really did it, didn't you? You actually passed...
Tsukasa...
Good-bye, Tsukasa.
Tsukushi!
I mustn't look back again.
I must only think about going forward!
Bi--?! How dare you!
Good-bye, Tsukasa...
That obstacle will be out of the way for a while.
With Tsukushi out of the picture, Tsukasa's feelings for her should fade.
Meanwhile, I'd better firm up our agreement with the Okawaharas.
So, that's your game! It was nothing but dirty tricks!
Damn you, you witch! Go to hell!
How dare you speak to me like that! You are the Domyoji heir!
Is it any wonder you still need your mother to look after you?!
You were never around when I was little.
When you finally bother to come home, you mess up my life!
I don't consider you my mother!
Tsukasa!
Why do you think you're able to live a free and easy life?
You are a member of this Domyoji family, that's why!
This family is rotten to the core! I didn't ask to be born into it!
Tsukasa!
Master!
What? Really?
Yeah. It's so unexpected.
Hello? Tsukushi?
Uh, it's nothing... I won't be leaving for a while, yet.
Oh, wow... When you get there, you'll have to speak English, right?
You'll be fluent by the time you return!
I sure hope so!
Maybe you'll get yourself an American boyfriend.
Knock it off, Yuki!
That may not be a bad idea...
I've told my folks and Yuki... It's beginning to feel real.
Tsukushi...!
What do you think?
A different color really makes a difference.
I'm back! I picked up some riceballs.
And soon, I have to say good-bye...
...to this apartment that we all redecorated...
Okay-- I'm through being sentimental!
What'll happen after my year away?
Lots of wonderful things, I'll bet!
"Trouble Ahead"!?
No way!
I, Tsukushi Makino, swear to become bilingual...
...and to find a nice American boyfriend!
Who's making all that noise?
Tsukushi! Tsukushi! You're there, aren't you?
Tsukushi!
Tsukasa...
Be quiet! The neighbors will...
W-wait, Tsukasa...
I didn't say you could come in!
Don't go!
Don't go on the exchange program!
Huh? What do you mean?
My mother. She was behind all of this.
It was a scheme to get you away from me.
I knew it... I thought it was weird.
There was no way I could have passed...
Do't go anywhere.
I will go!
It doesn't feel right knowing I didn't qualify on my own,
but if I stay here, nothing will change.
I want to change. That's why I'm going.
No, you fool! Don't you see?
I don't want you to go!
What are you saying, Tsukasa?! You have Shigeru!
There's nothing between us.
Shigeru!
You're lying! What about Shigeru's villa--
I told her clearly that...
she's not the one.
You make me so mad! Say what you mean!
You're not the one.
That made her really mad.
I don't blame her. I hurt her very badly.
I don't understand...
Then why did Shigeru transfer to Eitoku?
I don't understand either, what she's up to.
But what's clear is...
You're the only one for me.
Tsukasa...
Tsukasa still loves me?
But... still... in my heart...
Tsukasa...
I don't have the confidence to live in your world.
Even if I did love you...
I told you once...
I'll come after you to the ends of the earth.
If you won't come, I'll leap into your world.
Tsukasa...!?
Besides, your mom's stewed potatoes are pretty good.
Stewed potatoes?!
Tsukasa, you can't just...
It wouldn't be easy for Tsukasa to leap into my world...
Tsukasa... leaping into my world?
It's not that simple, but I can believe him for now...
It's starting...
Our new relationship together.
I went to see Tsukasa at his home.
Waiting for me there was... Kaede Domyoji...
Your thoughts are too selfish.
Now, I can understand how he feels.
I want to see you. Come out, Tsukasa!
Hana Yori Dango: "Time To Call It Quits"
Thanks, Tsukasa...
