Shigure: Hey, the bath is open!
Yuki-kun, your turn.
Yuki: Well… not today.
Shigure: Eh? No way? You’re not gonna wash? How filthy!
Yuki: I’m going to hang him upside down from a ceiling someday.

(Hatsuharu tied the end of a rope on a fence and pulled on the other end from the other side of the street as Kyou came running, beating Yuki in a school race. Kyou tripped down, his face hitting the
cemented street… HARD.)
Hatsuharu (to the audience): This act is extremely dangerous.
Anyone other than Kyou will end up with more than scratches.
So do not try this at home.

Yuki: What about your school?
Hatsuharu: I left last Sunday… before I realized it, I was on a path
I couldn’t recognize…
When I came back to my senses, three days had already passed.
Yuki: Just be honest and say you got lost.

(Kyou and Hatsuaharu, fighting.)
Hatsuahru: If you keep yapping, I’ll take that girl too!
Kyou: Huh? What are you talking about?
Hatsuahru: This and that, and I’ll even do it with her!
Kyou: What is this octopus talking about?
He even forgot the time I took him to the washroom when got lost looking for it.
Really, not a thread of charm is left on him when he’s "Black".
Who brought him out anyway?
Ah, it was me.
But what does he mean by "this and that"?
I don’t quite understand, but why bring a girl into this?
She has nothing to do with this.
A girl has nothing to do with a fight between men!
Somehow it pisses me off!

Shigure: High school girls~
High school girls~
High school girls are waiting for me~

Hatsuharu: They used to be so sensitive before,
with this unapproachable aura around them…
But now, it feels calmer. Perhaps, it is because you are at their side?
Tohru: N-no way. I couldn’t do such a…
Hatsuharu: I haven’t seen anything, so I cant be sure, but…
Anyway, if things are going for the better, isn’t that good enough?
Especially, for Yuki…
Since Yuki is my first love…
I like Kyou too…
But Yuki is a very special person to me.
Although, I used to hate him when I was young.
Tohru: Eh? Why did you…?
Hatsuharu: Because he’s the mouse.
You know the story don’t you?
The past about the mouse sneaking a ride to the party on the cow’s back.
Because of that, I unconsciously took him as an enemy.
Besides…
"The cow was stupid and dumb enough to be used like that…"
That’s what the grown-ups mockingly told me when I was young.
But I… I felt like I was the one being mocked as an idiot.
Being mocked made me mean-spirited…
So I blamed everything on the mouse…
And became such a bad-tempered child.
The "black" personality also appeared then.
Even my parent’s couldn’t deal with it…
So I began to learn martial arts in order to release my anger.
But it didn’t help at all.
Although , martial arts itself was fun…
i was still being mocked.
Then one day… I met Yuki, face to face.
Actually, I didn’t even get a chance to speak to him until then.
Since we only saw each other at New Years.
I got so angry all of a sudden,
and I just want to blurt out everything…
(Flashback…)
Young Hatsuharu: I really hate you! They make fun of the cow because of
the mouse!
All because of the dirty, cowardly mouse!
The cow being stupid, the cow being dumb, it’s all because of the mouse!
Young Yuki: Is that so? Are you really…
Are you really… stupid?
Young Hatsuharu: No… No… I’m not…
I’m… not stupid.
I’m not stupid…
Young Yuki: Okay… I got it.
(…End Flashback)
After that, I became less and less explosive.
The biggest burden in my heart, Yuki melted away.
He undid the shackles on my heart.
I was surprised…
Yuki was so different from what I had imagines.
That’s right.
Just like then, I had prejudiced Yuki and thought he was a sneaky mouse.
That day… I’m glad I met Yuki.
Or I’d be hating him with all the misunderstadings.
That would really make me an idiot.
