**Pg. 5**

{Saga}

//katsun// [Yoshiki walking in]

**Pg. 6**

Kyoko: ...Oh...Welcome back, Yoshiki. Oh my gosh, I fell asleep.

Yoshiki: Were you waiting this whole time?

Kyoko: When I called you on your cell phone, you told me that you'd be coming back soon, right?

Yoshiki: But what if I didn't come back...?

**Pg. 7**

Kyoko: I'd probably wait til I turned into a fossil. Then you have to excavate me, okay? Yoshiki...?

**Pg. 8**

//zaaaa// [rain pouring down]

**Pg. 9**

Yoshiki's words: "Why do I love you this much...?"

**Pg. 10**

//gyu// [Kasumi holds onto Yoshiki]

Kasumi: Yoshiki...me...me too! I also....

**Pg. 11**

//RRRR// [phone rings]

**Pg. 12**

Yoshiki: Oh...sorry...

Kasumi: O, okay.

Kasumi's thoughts: What was I about to say...?

Yoshiki: ...yes...Kyoko? Oh, I'll be going back now. What? Noone's here. I'm by myself.

**Pg. 13**

//saaa// [raining]

Yoshiki: ...normally, if you were to say that you're with your sister, it's the safest excuse to use.

**Pg. 14**

Yoshiki: How weird...

//doku// [Kasumi's heart thumps]

Kasumi's thoughts: I can't accept this.

**Pg. 15**

Kasumi: Yoshiki, when you go back to Saga, you're there for a month, right? You have to work hard for the time you took off.

Yoshiki: I might come back again.

Kasumi: Stop saying such childish things. Your beautiful girlfriend won't let you do that!

Yoshiki: What...

**Pg. 16**

Kasumi: I think we got too excited cause we acted like we were a couple today.

Yoshiki: Hey, wait a sec...!

Kasumi: If you don't hurry, you'll miss the last train. Excuse me, to Setagaya please. The next time you get home sick, go to Kyoko-san, okay? Bye.

Yoshiki: I said wait...! Neisan (sister)...!

Kasumi's thoughts: That's right. You understand, Yoshiki. I'm your "sister".

**Pg. 17**

Kasumi's thoughts: Just with our feelings, it's wrong. I'll be okay. While we're apart, I can assure myself that this is all just a mistake. It'll be alright...

**Pg. 18**

Kasumi's thoughts: I'll be okay without Yoshiki.

**Pg. 20**

Kazuki: Welcome!

Kasumi: Kazuki! I came with everyone!

**Pg. 21**

Kazuki: Kasumi, you're drunk, aren't you?

Kasumi's friend: We've been going everywhere since the first drink!

Kasumi: Who cares? I wonder what I should drink?

Kasumi's friend: Kasumi, why don't you quit now? Not only today, but Kasumi's been in a super hyper mood lately. It's like something good happened to her or something.

Kasumi: Hey Kazuki! You better work! Take my order! I want some beer!

Kazuki's thoughts:  I don't think she's hyper, I think she changed her character.

Kazumi's friend: Hey, Kasumi, when is Yoshiki-kun coming back from his excavation in Saga...?

Man: Is it only you girls?

Kasumi: Ha ha ha. Yes!

Man: We're all guys here.

Kasumi: Do you want to sit with us?

**Pg. 22**

Kasumi:  Ha ha ha. It's like an instant goukon (social gathering).

Kasumi's friend: Geez, Kasumi.

Man: Are you girls in college? We're at that N company over there. If there's all these cute girls, we'll come to this store more often.

Kazuki: Who are those guys that look like their brains are in their lower half of their body!?

Kazuki's co-worker: Sawamura!

Kasumi //kusu kusu// [giggling]: Business men just seem more adult.

Kasumi's thoughts: See? I'm okay.

**Pg. 23**

Kyoko: Ah...!

**Pg. 24**

//gishi// [bed moving]

Kyoko: Yoshi...! Wait...! A little slower...! Ah...! Ah!

**Pg. 25**

Kyoko: ...Why? You're a little scary today...it's like you're angry...but that's okay...

**Pg. 26**

Kyoko: If you want to forget about something, you can do whatever you want with me. Can you forget about it while you're making love to me? Can you just think of me during that time?

**Pg. 27**

Kyoko: Yoshiki.

Yoshiki: I'm such an asshole...sorry, Kyoko.

**Pg. 28**

Yoshiki: Sorry...

Kasumi: Oh? Kazuki, is it okay for you to stand out here when you're working?

Kazuki: Hey Kasumi. Are you purposely acting all jolly because Yoshiki-kun is gone?

Kasumi: No! Why does it go that way when I'm just having fun? Anyway, you're the one said that it was wrong, right?

**Pg. 29**

Kasumi: I'm really okay!

Kazuki: ...Then if something happens...No, call me even if there's no reason. You can call while I'm at work too. Um...if you don't want me to, I won't do what I did to you the other day anymore.

Kasumi: I wonder if I should get drunk and prank call you.

Kazuki: Stop playing around, stupid. I'll even wait for that.

Kasumi: What a nice guy. Let's go to one more place!

Kasumi's friend: To drink? To karaoke?

**Pg. 30**

Man: Kasumi-chan, do you want to go somewhere with just the two of us?

Kasumi: What?

Man: Run!

//da// [Man and Kasumi take off]

Man's friend: What! Hey!? Hatanaka!

Kasumi's friends: Kasumi!?

Kasumi: Geez...you just took off all of sudden.

Man: 'Cause I just wanted to be with you.

Kasumi: Ha ha. But it was fun...Uuuu.

**Pg. 31**

Kasumi: I...I'm sorry. After running, I think I got even more drunk...

Man: Are you okay?

Kasumi's thoughts: I'm getting so dizzy!

Kasumi: Can we go to a bench at a park or something...? I just need to lay down. It could even be on concrete...

Kasumi's thoughts: Anywhere...hm? It's fluffy. Whoa!...my head is spinning.

**Pg. 32**

Kasumi's thoughts: Wow, what is this place...? Oh, I see. I told him I wasn't feeling good, so that's why he's taking a shower. I see...

//koron// [Kasumi lays back down]

**Pg. 33**

Kasumi's thoughts: I don't think so!!

Kasumi: I got so suprised that I don't even feel like I have to puke anymore.

**Pg. 34**

Kasumi: I just can't do things like that.

Kasumi remembering Kazuki's words: "Call me even if you don't have any reason to. You can call me while I'm at work. I'll wait even for that."

Kasumi's thoughts: I'm going to go ahead and let Kazuki know what a dumb-ass I was.

//pi pi po// [Hitomi dialing]

Kasumi: I wonder if I should really prank call him.

//RRRR// [Kazuki's cell phone rings]

Kazuki: Yes, hello?

**Pg. 35**

Kasumi's cell phone: Hello?

Kazuki: Hello! Who is this?

Kasumi's cell phone: Hello?

**Pg. 36**

Yoshiki: ....Neisan?

**Pg. 37**

Yoshiki (on Kasumi's cell phone): This is Neisan, isn't it?

Kazuki: What!? This is not Keiko. I'm Kazuki!

Kazuki's cell phone: Oh, it's not?

Kazuki's thoughts: I thought it would be Kasumi.

Kazuki: Welcome!

Kasumi's thoughts: I...unconsciously...

Yoshiki: I just arrived in Haneda. Just got back from Saga.

Kasumi's thoughts: Dialed Yoshiki's number...?

Yoshiki: I'll go back to my apartment like you told me to.

**Pg. 38**

Kasumi's thoughts: I unconsciously called Yoshiki...

Kasumi:  I want to see you...!

**Pg. 39**

Kasumi: Oh...! Sorry...What am I saying? Forget that, okay?

Yoshiki: ...No. I told you. I'm in Haneda right now. I'm going home right now. To the apartment you're at. To make love to you.

**Pg. 40**

//dokin dokin// [Kasumi's heart thumping]

Kasumi: Yoshiki...!

Yoshiki: If you don't want to, please go somewhere tonight. Then I'll stop my feelings for you.

//putsu// [Yoshiki hangs up]

Kasumi: Yo...Yoshiki!? Wait a second...! We can't do that...! Hello!? Hello!?

Kasumi remembering Yoshiki's words: "I'm going to the apartment you're at. To make love to you."

Kasumi: No...There's no way we can. Because we're...

**Pg. 41**

Kasumi's thoughts: Sister and brother...

//batan// [Kasumi slams her door]

**Pg. 43**

Yoshiki: Of course...she's not here.

//gachya gachya kiii// [Yoshiki opens the door]

**Pg. 44**

//kachya// [Yoshiki opens the bedroom door]

//pata pata// [the curtains moving]

**Pg. 45**

Yoshiki: Neisan...

**Pg. 46**

Kasumi: Yoshiki.

Kasumi's thoughts: I love Yoshiki. I don't want any other feelings besides this.

**Pg. 47**

Kasumi: Let's go to hell together...

*******Part 2*******

**Pg. 48**

Kasumi's thoughts:  If I hadn't gone to Rome or if I hadn't met him in Rome...if we would've met as siblings, I wonder what our future would've been like...

**Pg. 49**

Yoshiki's words: "I'm going to your apartment tonight. To make love to you."

**Pg. 50**

//za// [wind blowing]

Yoshiki's words: "If you don't want me to, please go somewhere tonight."

**Pg. 51**

Yoshiki's words: "Then I will stop my feelings for you..."

**Pg. 54**

Yoshiki:  Nei...san...

Kasumi:  I did go out once.

**Pg. 55**

Kasumi: Because this is wrong, right? Because we're siblings. As I went out the apartment, I was thinking, "I can't do such a thing". Why?

**Pg. 56**

Kasumi: I just came back. Why Yoshiki?

**Pg. 57**

Kasumi: Why...?

Kasumi's thoughts:  It's not too late to leave now.

//pata pata// [curtains moving]

//dokin dokin// [Kasumi's heart beating]

**Pg. 59**

//gachya gachya bachin// [curtain coming off the rail]

Kasumi's thoughts: Once we touch each other, there's no going back...

**Pg. 60**

//RRRRR// [Kyoko calling Yoshiki]

Yoshiki's friend: Kyoko-chan, you can't get a hold of Yoshiki?

Kyoko: No, I can't. He said that he would be going back home today too.

Yoshiki's friend: Home? Oh, the apartment that his sister lives in, right? Kasumi-chan. Maybe he changed his mind and went to his own apartment.

Kyoko: I phoned his apartment and cell phone too.

Yoshiki's friend: You guys were just together all day! You're so in love with him.

**Pg. 61**

Kyoko: Why did you have such a serious face when you're just going home...?

**Pg. 62**

//RRRR// [phone ringing]

**Pg. 64**

Kasumi: Wait...the phone. Yoshiki. I have to get the phone...please...!

Yoshiki: Move around some more.

**Pg. 65**

Yoshiki: You're so pretty. It's like you're a pinned butterfly.

**Pg. 66**

Yoshiki: ...Please don't be scared. We were meant to be this way since we were born.

//dokin dokin// [Kasumi's heart beating]

Kasumi's thoughts: It's like my whole body became my heart...

Kasumi: Even though we're sister...and brother...?

**Pg. 67**

Yoshiki: We were able to meet because we are sister and brother. Because you're small, I became big to protect you. Because you're a woman, I was born as a man to love you.

**Pg. 68**

Yoshiki: If you will forgive me, I can do anything. I can be the only one who goes to hell, so you don't have to be scared of anything...

Kasumi's thoughts: Is it...

**Pg. 69**

Kasumi's thoughts: Is it okay now...? Is it okay? Have we been patient long enough? Is it okay to touch Yoshiki now...?

**Pg. 70**

Kasumi: I won't let you go to hell by yourself.

**Pg. 71**

Kasumi's thoughts: The arms that I've been yearning for over and over. I'm here on my own will. I can only see Yoshiki. I can only feel Yoshiki.

**Pg. 74**

Kasumi's thoughts: I didn't care about morals or common sense anymore.

**Pg. 75**

Kazuki: Thanks for your hard work.

Kazuki's manager: Kazuki, do you have a sec?

Kazuki: Manager.

Manager: I have a friend who's a fan of yours and she won't stop bothering me about wanting to meet you.

Yukari: Shut up! Hi, Kazuki-kun!

Manager:  Her name's Yukari. If you have time, do you wanna go drink?

Yukari: Let's go, let's go!

Kazuki:  Um...

Kazuki's thoughts: It's 1...Kasumi never called after all.

Kazuki: Sure, let's go.

**Pg. 76**

Kazuki: Whoa, I'm pretty drunk. I don't remember what I drank last...Hm? Where's manager...?

Yukari: He already went home. Maybe he left for the two of us.

Kazuki: What do mean by that...?

Yukari:  Ha ha.  I'm talking about this. Hey, let's do it. So you can forget about that girl that you like.

**Pg. 77**

Yukari: I'm fine with that. I still like you even though you have feelings for someone else.

Kazuki: Yeah, but I don't want to if it's not Kasumi.

Yukari:  Her name's Kasumi? You don't know what she's doing right now either, right?

Kazuki:  Yeah, that's true.

Yukari:  So, I'll make you feel better. So be quiet already.

**Pg. 78**

Yukari:  Kazuki-kun...

**Pg. 79**

Yukari:  Kazuki-kun?

Kazuki: ...go...home...

Yukari: Kazu...

Kazuki: I told you to go home!

**Pg. 80**

Yukari: What's with you!? You were all into it too, jerk!

//zu// [Kazuki slides down]

Kazuki: How horrible...I knew in my head, but...this is what it's about, huh?...

**Pg. 81**

Kazuki: Kasumi was thinking of me in that way that one time too! If I could just dislike her, it would be so much easier for me...

**Pg. 82**

Kazuki: Damn it!

//gan// [Kazuki kicks the bike]

Man: Hey, you. That's my bike.

//waaa// [people shouting]

Yoshiki's friend1: Hey, it's a fight.

Yoshiki's friend2: Oh no, it's 1 against 3! They should stop. Kyoko-chan, it's dangerous, so stay here, okay?

Men: Damn, there's people coming. Let's go.

//bata bata// [the men take off]

Kyoko: That person...

**Pg. 83**

Kyoko: Oh, it is you. Wasn't it...Kazuki-san? Your the sister's friend.

Yoshiki's friend: Kyoko-chan, you know him?

Kyoko: Yes. I have something to talk about with him, so I'll excuse myself here.

Kazuki: Kyoko...? Ohhh.

Kyoko: Are you okay?

Kazuki: It hurts. Don't touch me. I'm sorry, but right now I can't guarantee you that I won't get angry. Especially towards you.

**Pg. 84**

Kazuki: Looking at you reminds me of the person I hate the most.

Kyoko: If you say that, I also...get reminded of the person who I'm not supposed to be bitter about.

**Pg. 85**

Kazuki: ...I'm sorry.

Kyoko: It's okay.

**Pg. 86**

Kazuki: We're probably the most understanding people in this whole world...

**Pg. 88**

Kasumi: Yoshiki...what are you thinking about now...?

Yoshiki: I'm not thinking about anything else besides you.

**Pg. 89**

Yoshiki: What about you?

Kasumi: Me...? I was also thinking about you. Saying "sorry". "If I hadn't gone to Rome" or "met you in Rome" or "if we would've met as sister and brother, you'd probably be happy by now"...that's what I was thinking.

**Pg. 90**

Kasumi: You'd probably be going to T University and be married to Kyoko-san. You had a promising future. I'm sorry...

//gui// [Yoshiki pulls Kasumi towards him]

//gari// [Yoshiki bites Kasumi's lip]

**Pg. 91**

Kasumi: Ow...

Yoshiki: Why...why do you say that? Stop deciding things on your own! That future means nothing to me! However many times I'm reborn, I'll find you and catch you. However many times it takes, I'd throw away everything I have at the moment and chase after you.

**Pg. 92**

Yoshiki: I'd rather choose the sin of loving you than the happiness of not loving you.

**Pg. 93**

Kasumi's thoughts: ...We're...

**Pg. 94**

Kasumi's thoughts: We're probably going to encounter a lot of things from now on. We'll probably lose a lot of things. Even so...

**Pg. 95**

Kasumi's thoughts: If I can have the miracle of finding Yoshiki, I'd give anything to be with him...
