Araki: Kai-bou, Ryuuji-san, can I come in?
Ryuuji: I give up! Give me a break!
Kai: You're useless at games! It's no fun playing with you!
Araki: Sorry to interrupt
Ryuuji: Ah, Araki-san? Finished your business?
Kai: Gotta reset this
Araki: Yes. The Don would like us to have dinner with him tonight. Do you mind?
Kai: That's great! I'm having dinner with Ryuuji!
Ryuuji: Hey!
Araki: (thinks) Don Sagano- if anything happens to me- please look after Ryuuji-san

(page)
Araki (voice over): I'm going to use the end of this fight to do away with the name of the Kazama-gumi forever

Hana to Ryuu ch12 When the moon is full

(page)
Sagano: Araki... how're you going to 'do away' with it?
Araki: For Ryuuji-san now, the past is just a chain around his feet. For him to be reborn as plain Kazama Ryuuji and to go on living that way, he needs a peaceful life that wipes out that past
Sagano: You've been messing around with the Kazama-gumi. You really think you can destroy it?
Araki: Yes
Sagano: Yes, but think about it a minute, Araki. Maybe you think you're doing this for his sake, but if anything happens to you and he's left alone, what then?

(page)
Sagano: You were talking about his life from now on, right? I'll do everything I can to help him
but you do realize there's nobody who can replace *you*?
For Ryuuji-kun, there isn't anyone in the world who can take your place
I'm talking sense here. You leave it to me. I'll take care of everything quietly
Araki: No, sir! This is a Kazama fight...
Sagano: Araki!

(page)
Sagano: I exchanged cups and pledges of brotherhood with Kazama and even if I die those pledges still stand! (J note: This seems to contradict what Sagano said in the previous episode, about Kazama and Sagano being enemies. But the Japanese is quite specific that it was *Sagano* who became 'brothers' with Kazama.)
You're going poke your nose into this from the sidelines and dirty the bonds of brotherhood between us?!
Araki: ...
Sagano: Look, Araki. This peaceful safe life you want for Ryuuji-kun- he won't have it if you're not here
Forgetting the past will make him happy, yes, but what do you think your real role is? I think what Kazama wanted you to do is to stay at his side and be his support

(page)
Sagano: I'm a father too. I understand how he must feel
Araki- I'm asking you too. Make Ryuuji-kun happy.
Araki: Don...
Sagano: That looks good, Ryuuji
Kai: Yeah? Which one? This?

(page)
Sagano: Kai! Sit down!
Kai: C'n I have some?
Ryuuji: It's sashimi. Want a bite? (It's sweet shrimp)
Kai: Yeah- I love it! (sound of opening mouth)
Ryuuji: Good?
Kai: Yeah!
Masa: Bon, you have your own! I'm sorry, Kazama-san
Ryuuji: It's OK. I don't mind. (Here, say 'ahh')
Kai: Ahhh-
Masa: Cut it out! Here- here, you can have mine.
Kai: Don' wannit. I like Ryuuji's
Masa: But they're exactly the same!
Kai: Don' wannit!

(page)
Kyousuke: Excuse me-- Kazama-san. The bath is ready for you when you've finished eating
Ryuuji: What? But--
Kai: Yay! Let's have a bath together!!
Ryuuji: A-araki-san?
Araki: Well, if Kai says so, why not?
Masa: Bo- Bon...
Sagano: (laughing) So you'll stay the night after all!
Kai: 'The raccoon-dog on top of Fist Mountain'

(page)
Masa: Ahh- jeez. Kazama-san'll be worn out after this
Araki: Do you mind? Having Ryuuji-san take your kid from you
Masa: A bit, yeah. He's always hanging on to me. It's kind of a letdown
Araki: (laughing) Don't be jealous. Ryuuji-san's only taken him for this one day
Masa: Naa-- aniki--
Araki: Mh?
Masa: You could come by here more often
Araki: Whaat? You're lonely for me?
Masa: NO WAY!!

(page)
Masa: When you don't come round... specially lately- I really get to wondering if you've died
Araki: Don't worry. I've just had the Don laying down the law to me as well. 'Get serious and stick by Ryuuji-san.'
I felt like it was Kazama oyaji talking to me
And you too- look after Bon
Masa: Mh.
Naturally! I wouldn't mind dying for him

(page)
Araki: You're right. I wouldn't mind dying
We've got that in common- we're both pretty gone on our guys.
Masa: (snicker) Right, right! Brothers after all- we think the same way.
Announcer: Will those seeing passengers off please wait behind the white line.
Kai: Ryuuji!!!
Sign: Shin-Osaka (Station in Osaka used by the Shinkansen (Bullet Train))
Kai: Come back and see us again!!

(page)
Araki: He's gotten quite close to you.
Ryuuji: Uh-huh.
Masanori-san probably doesn't like me much, monopolizing his Kai-kun like that.
Araki: I worry about Masanori. He's always going on about how sweet Bon is and spoiling him rotten.
Ryuuji: You can tell you two are brothers. You're exactly the same that way.
Araki: Hm? What way?
Ryuuji: Spoiling people
Araki: I spoil you? I don't think so myself
Ryuuji: You do though. You're always so nice to me and it feels so good. And I play along with it and let you do it.

(page)
Ryuuji: And you don't know you're doing it. That's so like you. (chuckles)
Araki: I had to half-drag you to Sagano's but I see it was the right thing to do
Ryuuji: Huh?
Araki: I've never seen you look so happy
You do look best when you're smiling. It's neat.
Ryuuji: What--- (flummoxed)
Ryuuji: (thinks) This *guy*---
Araki: Ahh, I should have taken a longer vacation

(page)
Ryuuji: (thinks) He can say things like that without thinking twice and I go all funny. I've been trying my best not to remember them
But I have
Araki's voice: You've always been in my thoughts- for a much longer time than my wife
If this feeling is love, then I was untrue to my wife from the moment I met her
Ever since that day Araki-san has never mentioned it again and never touched me
I'm still not sure. Should I really believe he meant it?
Or was he just trying to make me feel better? I just don't know
I'm too scared to ask

(page)
Araki: Ahh, home again!
You must be tired
Let's have a cup of tea. Is green tea alright?
Ryuuji: Yeah. Good idea.
Araki: And while I'm at it maybe I should wash out the tub and run a bath
Ryuuji: I'll do that after. You go sit down
Thank you, Araki-san.
Araki: For what?
Ryuuji: I haven't been out in a while. I was starting to get depressed
Now I'm feeling much better.

(page)
Ryuuji: Seeing Kai-kun reminded me of Satoya. I'd like to see him again
Araki: Can you go see him tomorrow? I have to work and can't come with you
But I'll get Hibiki to drive you
Ryuuji: Uh--
F/X shock
Araki: Hibiki doesn't like changes and he's had a lot on his mind lately. I think he was anxious and took it out on you. I hope you'll be able to forgive what he said to you last time

(page)
Araki: I told him to treat you the way he does me
I'd like you to trust him.
Ryuuji: ...OK
Araki: I'm glad
Aren't you hungry at all? I can make something light
Ryuuji: Sure
Ryuuji: (thinks) I don't really want anything...
Araki: Nh- nothing but instant stuff
Ryuuji: (thinks) Hibiki-san won't want to drive me. He talked like he really hated me
I'll have to be careful not to get on his nerves

(page)
Hibiki: Come get Kazama-san?
Araki's voice: That's right. Take him to Satoya-san's institution after you've dropped me off, and don't leave him for a minute. Then call me after you've brought him home.
Hibiki: Certainly. I'll come and pick you up tomorrow at the usual time then
Araki's voice: I'll be expecting you
F/X Hibiki drinking
Iba: Hibiki... You must've had enough fun.
I'm tired of it. Let me go

(page)
Hibiki: What? Are you talking to me- *ordering* me?
Choose your words better... nii-san
I've made you all wet here, just like a woman (J note: ahh, yaoi physiology...)
Iba: Nh--
Hibiki: It's just dripping out of you... (J note: ...'write what you know')
Iba: Don't-- *touch* me---
OW...
Hibiki: Just be quiet and become my woman. Give me any backtalk and I can rape you to death, right?
Iba: ...you know you can't--
Hibiki: Oh?

(page)
Iba: You'd never get your hands dirty like that. You use other people and just stand by watching
You don't ever do anything yourself
You've always been like that... all you can do is hate everything around you, and only that, over and over
You let things push your buttons but you can't do anything to stop them-
(grunts)
Oww--
Hibiki: You've still got quite the mouth on you. You want me to be nice to you again?

(page)
Hibiki: You like it too, nii-san
That's fine. I've tied you too tightly for you to come
F/X screwing
Iba: (grunt)
Hibiki: See how happy I'm making you? And you're always so bad at saying Please for it
Iba: grunts

(page)
Iba: H-Hibiki- this time at least...
one punk kid- you can manage him yourself...
Hibiki: ...oh, I suppose...
Kazama... Ryuuji...
At the moment he takes his last breath
I bet I'll be really turned on (J note: ah, yaoi psychology...)
