    I was reading the translation of ch 62 and I know understand why Kyo looked depressed in the manga scans of chapters 66 and 67 ... go to page 18 and you'll understand.



    ----------------------------------
    FRUITS BASKET - Episode 62
    Translation by SHADOW

    pg. 0

    (Creepy cover picture of Akito)

    He who is at the apex of the Sohma's...!!

    *****
    pg. 1

    T: [I've met Sohma Isuzu; the one who is possessed by the spirit

    And then,

    what came to mind...

    the last one remaining, the Bird spirit

    Could it be...

    *****
    pg. 2

    Akito-san afterall...?

    But, for some reason it's difficult to ask everyone about...]


    Shig: "Tohru, do you have a moment?"

    T: "Yes? Eh? Shigureh-san, didn't you go out?"

    Shig: "Mmm... but I forgot someone... Kyou-kun."

    Kyo: "Eh?"

    Shig: "Akito told me to bring Kyo over there.

    So I'm really sorry Tohru, but I'm going to borrow him for today."

    *****
    pg. 3

    T&K: "Ehhhhh!?"

    Shig: "Wow, perfect unison."

    Kyo: "Wait a minute, if that's the case then Tohru'll..."

    T: "Great. That's great! That's wonderful!"

    K: "Huh?"

    T: "You've been called for Kyo. You too!"

    [It's not a formal banquet, but, even so

    *****
    pg. 4

    Kyo too. The cat will be there.]

    T: "Great. This is great. Really this is wonderful."

    *****
    pg. 5

    K: "...Be good and wait for us to come home."

    T: "Okay. Have a good time!"

    S: ""Wonderful" isn't it..."

    K: ".....
    Shut up. I haven't been called out for anything good afterall, have I.
    "

    S: "Ooohhh... scary. Is it that you are only nice to Tohru..."

    *****
    pg. 6

    Yuki: "Huh? What's the meaning of this?
    Don't tell me Akito's called for Kyou to come?"

    S: "Exactly that. Kyou, Akito is in the far room. Go on in."

    K: "....."

    *****
    pg.7

    Y: "It's the same... as during New Year's.
    She's all alone again."

    K: "What are you guys doing!? Did you guys... bring her all this way
    just to leave her on her own?"

    *****
    pg. 8

    Y: "Okay, then why are you here?
    Even you won't go against Akito.
    Don't act so superior.
    I'll warn you one more time
    Don't act like an idiot and lose your temper in front of Akito."

    K: "Shut up you bastard!"

    *****
    pg.9

    *****
    pg.10

    S: "You should've fought him... like you usually do."

    Y: "...Enough's enough. Kyou needs to realise.... as do I, that's just
    how we're made."

    *****
    pg. 11

    Y: "In the end, that's all there is to it."

    Akito: "Welcome...
    It's been a while since we've spoken face to face.
    It's alright.
    Come in... my... pitiful monster."

    *****
    pg.12

    [Kyo's arrived there now, hasn't he.]
    'I wonder if they'll be eating together as well.'
    [In my happiness, I forgot one thing...
    going over there means he'll probably be meeting with Akito.
    For Kyou, Akito is probably a "special person" and...
    maybe one to be "feared".

    *****
    pg. 13

    Is Akito...
    really...
    the bird?]

    T: '...'
    "Let's leave that issue aside for now..."

    [Be good... and wait for us to get back.]

    T: ...
    [May Kyou be able to come back feeling even a little bit happier...]

    A: "How's the...
    bet faring?"

    *****
    pg. 14

    A: "'Should you beat Yuki' that bet you made with me...
    You can't, can you.
    It's impossible isn't it?
    You can't win, can you?
    You don't win, do you?
    That's why I told you...

    from the very beginning, the cat can't win against the mouse because
    that's how you're made."

    *****
    pg. 15

    A: "You'll never win against Yuki your entire life. That's the way you
    were created from the very beginning.
    That's the chink in the rut that is the fate of those possessed.

    it is...
    the fate of "blood"

    I told you didn't I...?"

    [K: "Wrong. That kind of fate... who cares about that kind of fate?
    Just destroy that kind of destiny. I'll win... I'll win!!! I WILL
    defeat Yuki!"]

    *****
    pg. 16

    [In that case, why don't we make a bet.
    Should you truly defeat Yuki before graduating from High School,
    I will stop calling you a monster.
    I'll even let you become a part of the 12-shi.
    However...
    If you lose; from that point onwards,
    I'll keep you locked up until you die.

    If you can't win, you will in truth be
    nothing more than worthless trash.]

    A: "It seems, I win that bet afterall."

    *****
    pg. 17

    K: "What... Don't just decide the results on your own. There's still
    time. You don't *know* yet!"

    A: "Who is it... that doesn't know yet?
    Why don't you understand?
    Why did you forget?"

    *****
    pg. 18 :eek:

    A: "Why do you misunderstand? You have to remember... truly...
    that you are a monster.
    Your mother died...
    because you are a monster."

    K: "Wha? Wr.. Wrong...."

    A: "Not wrong"

    K: "Wrong... It's not... my fault"

    A: "It is your fault.
    You killed your mother."

    *****
    pg.19

    K: "Stop it!
    Stop it! Don't touch me!"

    A: "Don't tell me what to do."

    K: "..."

    A: "Your poor mother
    Despite giving birth to a monster wearing human form, she tried
    heroically to protect... and raise you.
    But in the end, unable to cope any longer, she died.
    Yet, her son doesn't mourn her death"

    Kyo's Father: "...Kyou"

    *****
    pg. 20

    Father: "Kyo, Can you understand your mother's feelings?
    That was no accident. It was suicide.
    She killed herself.
    It's your fault.

    Can you understand how difficult it was for your mother?
    Monster that you are, can you understand?"

    A: "It would have been good, had you died.
    Anyway you look at things, if you didn't exist, everyone would've been
    happy."

    *****
    pg. 21

    [I killed her.
    Me.]

    K: "Stop it!
    Please stop...
    No more..."

    *****
    pg. 22

    A: "You know, I've been thinking...
    what spurred your misunderstanding is...
    Honda Tohru's fault?

    That girl, didn't change despite seeing your true form. Incredible
    isn't it..."

    K: "Why do you know...?"

    A: She's incredible isn't she. As though she's an angel? the Holy
    Mother?
    or more aptly a "monster"?

    *****
    pg. 23

    A: Isn't she a bit too perfect?
    Aren't people who are too perfect rather scary?
    Rather.... she's too perfect a "monster" - Honda Tohru.

    Think about it. It's obvious that any normal person who saw your true
    form would just run away..."

    K: "Why...
    Why do you...
    say those sorts of things...?

    *****
    pg. 24

    K: You don't know anything.
    You were there that time, in that place. You didn't even see what
    happened so how can you...
    You weren't even born a monster, so how....

    That time.

    You have no idea how terrified she was then.
    So why do you say those things!!

    [Her hands

    *****
    pg. 25

    Her voice...
    were shaking
    and so cold.
    Her face was so pale
    frightened]

    K: "Despite that
    In spite of all that, she didn't run away from me..."

    A: "You're annoying..."

    K: "Despite it all, she didn't leave me"

    A: "Shut up, shut up! Aa~!!"

    K: "My..."

    A: "Aa~!!"

    K: "She grabbed my hand..."

    *****
    pg. 26

    [She knew. If she let go of me...
    I would never have returned .

    Not to anyone. It may have been impossible to return.]

    K: ...

    [My pain.
    It's not like she's taken it all away.
    The gulf (estrangement)... It's not like it's been buried either.
    But what's important....
    The most important thing isn't that.

    *****
    pg. 27

    It's by staying together.
    Being happy at the little things.
    Being so joyful....
    Somehow, smiling so happily...
    Why is that?

    She should be thinking more about herself

    So why is it?

    Why doesn't she think she's losing out?
    That things seem stupid?
    That there's nothing good about any of this?]

    *****
    pg. 28

    [Momiji: Thinking about it won't help.
    The traveller isn't thinking about those sorts of things.
    Some people may think it's stupid but...
    for me, it's not stupid.

    How about you Yuki? Kyou?

    If you close your eyes, what do you think?]

    *****
    pg. 29

    T: "...Kyou-kun
    Kyou-kun"

    *****
    pg. 30

    [I care about her. Everything about her... I find dear. This... much]
