********PART 1*********

**Pg. 6**

Kasumi's thoughts: Being blood-related, it's most natural to be together, but it can also be the most unnatural. We wanted to be together, so went on a trip.

**Pg. 7**

Kasumi's thoughts: And together, we're returning to that apartment, so we can be together in our sacred place behind closed door again.

**Pg. 8**

Train Announcement: Tokyo. We've arrived at the last stop, Tokyo.

Kasumi's thoughts: I wake up from the dream.

Kasumi: ...we're here.

**Pg. 9**

Kasumi's thoughts: To watch a long dream together from now on.

Yoshiki: But we can be together forever.

Kasumi: Yeah.

**Pg. 10**

//gachy gachya// [Kasumi puts the keys in the lock]

Yoshiki: Wait, let's open the door together.

**Pg. 11**

Kasumi: Okay.

Kasumi's thoughts: Our secret place.

//gachya// [they open the door together]

**Pg. 12**

Kasumi's mom: You finally came home. Yoshiki. Kasumi.

**Pg. 13**

Kasumi: Mom! Why...!? When did you get back!?

Kasumi's mom: It's like you don't want me to come home or something. That's what I want to ask you. Where did you two go together? And to hide it from your mother!

**Pg. 14**

Kazuki: Welcome home. Sorry, I told her.

Kasumi's thoughts: She found out!

**Pg. 15**

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

Kasumi's thoughts: I didn't think she'd find out this soon.

Kasumi's mom: I believed in you two!

Yoshiki: Mom, we're...

**Pg. 16**

Kasumi's mom: Yoshiki! You went to go live on your own without telling me!? Just because I'm not here doesnt' mean you can do whatever you want!

**Pg. 17**

Yoshiki: ....What?

Kasumi's mom: I came back to Japan for work all of a sudden, so I thought I'd keep it a secret and suprise you two, but you're both gone. I thought Kazuki would know where Kasumi went, so I called him...and then I hear that Yoshiki's living on his own!?

**Pg. 18**

Kasumi's mom: Kasumi, did you make a boyfriend or something and kick Yoshiki out because he was in the way...?

Kasumi: You can't think of any other reason than that!?

Yoshiki: I left on my own terms, Mom.

Kazuki: That way, it's easier to meet with Kyoko-chan too, right?  As a man, I can understand those feelings.

Kasumi: Kazuki...

Kazuki: And I'm watching Kasumi so she won't do anything bad, so don't worry.

**Pg. 19**

Kazuki: Right?

Kasumi's mom: You're not going to do anything bad to Kasumi, are you?

Kazuki: Oh, is that not okay?

Kazuki: Sorry I went to your place, but your Mom called and...you don't have to walk me to the station, you know?

Kasumi: U...um, Kazuki, thank you for not telling my mother.

**Pg. 20**

Kazuki: Tell her what? I should have told her.

**Pg. 21**

Kazuki: I was even suprised to find out that Yoshiki's going back to your place, but then you guys go on a trip together!? I can't believe it. What were you thinking?

Kasumi: Nothing...it's normal to go on a trip together with your brother...

Kazuki: Yeah, that's true. Normal siblings will go on trips together! But this is different, right? You guys aren't normal siblings, right?

**Pg. 22**

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

Kasumi's thoughts: Not normal...

Kazuki: Damn it...this time when I saw you, I was going to complain or try to persuade you, but...I can't.

**Pg. 23**

Kazuki: Once I look at youru face...but this doesn't mean that I accepted it.

**Pg. 24**

Kasumi's thoughts: He should give up on a girl like me. That way we can both be at ease.

//kyu gachya kachya// [Hitomi washing dishes]

**Pg. 25**

Yoshiki: Mom's taking a bath right now.

Kasumi: Yeah. Well, that was a big suprise with her coming back all of sudden. She was saying that she'll be staying for 2 weeks, so we can work out something...

Yoshiki: Neisan (big sister), I'll stay at my apartment while Mom's here.

//gachya// [Kasumi makes big sound with dishes]

Kasumi's thoughts: What....?

Yoshiki: I don't have the confidence to be a brother in front of her.

**Pg. 26**

Kasumi's thoughts: I thought we were finally going to be able to live with each other.

Yoshiki: Stop touching me so defenselessly. I'm trying to calm myself down.

Kasumi: Hmmmmm....

**Pg. 27**

Yoshiki: Stop fooling around! Don't touch me! Don't come near me!

//sawa sawa peta peta// [Kasumi touching Yoshiki]

Kasumi: Ha ha ha.

Yoshiki: You better wait 2 weeks later!  I'll return this with double the amount!

Kasumi //kusu kusu// [chuckling]: I can't wait!

Yoshiki:  Me too.

//gachya batan// [Kasumi's mom gets out of bath]

Yoshiki: I think Mom just got out. I'm going to go take a bath too.

Kasumi's thoughts: I didn't know that...

**Pg. 28**

//buru// [Kasumi gets a chill]

Kasumi's thoughts: You can have a pleasant feeling without even touching each other.

Kasumi: ....Yoshiki.

**Pg. 29**

Kyoko: Hello, is this Yoshiki's sister? This is Kyoko. I would like to talk to you, so could you please meet me? I'll be waiting in the lobby of the Prince Hotel this Saturday at 7pm.

**Pg. 30**

Kasumi's thoughts: Talk...huh? It's probably about Yoshiki. She's probably going to say something like, "I'm never going to break-up with him" or "Give Yoshiki back". I have to be prepared with whatever she says.

Kyoko: Good evening. Sorry to keep you waiting. It's over here. I made a reservation already.

**Pg. 31**

Kasumi's thoughts: What...? Wait a second. I can't afford such an expensive-looking place. I don't want Kyoko-san to treat me either.

**Pg. 32**

Kyoko's dad: Alright, we're all together now. Please have a seat, Kasumi-san.

**Pg. 33**

Kyoko: I heard that your mother was back in the country, so I called her and wanted to have dinner with the 5 of us since we'll be having a lot association from now on.

Kasumi's thoughts: "A lot association from now on"?

Kyoko: This restaraunt has some delicious food.

Kasumi's mom: ....Wow, so Yoshiki and Kyoko-san have been together since elementary school?

**Pg. 34**

Kyoko's dad: When Kyoko was little, she would always talk about Yoshiki-kun. She talked about him so much that I thought Yoshiki-kun was the only one who attended that school.

Kyoko: Stop it, Dad, you're embarassing me.

Kasumi's mom: I bet Yoshiki was cute and SMALL back then too.

Yoshiki: ...Sorry I got so big that I'm in your way now!

Kasumi: Excuse me, I'm going to go use the powder room...

Kasumi's mom: Kasumi, that's such bad manners.

**Pg. 35**

//zaaaaaa// [water running]

Kyoko: Sorry it turned out in a way like I tricked you. After telling you that I wanted to talk to you alone...I just wanted to suprise you.

Kasumi: Oh, no, that's alright. I was suprised at first because I was thinking that I can't afford an expensive place like this.

Kyoko: Oh, don't worry about that. My father was excited and wanted to treat everyone out.

Kasumi: You've been together with Yoshiki for awhile since you were little.

Kyoko: Yes, that's why Yoshiki's the only man I know.

**Pg. 36**

Kyoko: Don't you think that people have their ways when doing it? Did you notice it with Kazuki-san or someone before that...?

//kaaaa// [Kasumi turns red]

Kasumi: What...?

Kyoko: Before Yoshiki does it, he kisses you lightly. A kiss like he's pecking at you. It seems like his habit.

**Pg. 37**

Kasumi's thoughts: Stop it.

Kyoko: I love it when he does that.

Kasumi's thoughts: STOP IT!

**P. 38**

Kasumi's mom: Kasumi, are you alright? Did you drink too much? I'm sorry, Asada-san, but I'm going to have to excuse ourselves now.

Kyoko's dad: Oh, don't worry about it. Your body is more important. I'm glad I got to meet you today.

Yoshiki: Mom, I'll go too...

Kasumi's mom: Oh, you take your time here since they invited us, okay? I'll take care of Kasumi.

Kyoko's dad: Yes, we should have Yoshiki with us a little more.

Yoshiki: Neisan...take care of yourself.

**Pg. 39**

//buroooo// [taxi driving]

Kasumi: Mom.

Kasumi's mom: Yes?

Kasumi: ...sorry I'm such a bad daughter.

**Pg. 40**

Kasumi's mom: What are you exaggerating about? It was just dinner. Do you feel a little better?

Kasumi: Sorry.

Kasumi's thoughts: At that moment...

**Pg. 41**

Kasumi's thoughts: I truly wanted that person in front of me to disappear and be gone.

**Pg. 42**

Kasumi's thoughts: It would be fine if it was just jealousy because you could let it go with just that word. Because any brutal thoughts would be matter of fact.

**Pg. 43**

Kasumi: Noone's here because it's summer vacation...

**Pg. 44**

Kasumi //kusu kusu// [chuckling]: Who ever thought we'd be having a date here?

Yoshiki: At your place, there's Mom. At my place, Kyoko might come in with her pair key....can I touch you?

**Pg. 46**

Kasumi: Wait...no way...here?

Yoshiki: I haven't touched you for 5 days already.

Kasumi: But if someone comes...

Yoshiki: You're the one who said that noone's here.

Kasumi: N...

Kasumi's thoughts: I'm falling down.

**Pg. 47**

Kasumi: ....Ah...No...I'm already...

Kasumi's thoughts: The more immoral things we do the more we can't be settled with happiness.

**Pg. 48**

Kasumi: Ah...!

//basa// [books fall]

Kyoko's words: "I love it when he does that"

**Pg. 49**

Kyoko's words: "Yoshiki kisses you lightly before he does it. A kiss like he's pecking at you."

**Pg. 50**

//gui// [Yoshiki grabs Kasumi]

Kasumi: No....Stop.

**Pg. 51**

Kasumi: Nooo!

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

**Pg. 53**

Kasumi: No! Stop it! Yoshiki, let me go.

Kyoko's words: "I think it's Yoshiki's habit. I love it when he does that"

**Pg. 54**

Kasumi: NO!!

**Pg. 55**

Yoshiki: Why...?

**Pg. 56**

Yoshiki: Why all of a sudden...? Tell me the reason. Do you not like me all of a sudden?

{Kasumi shakes her head}

Yoshiki: Did you think it was wrong because we're siblings...?

{Kasumi shakes her head}

**Pg. 57**

Yoshiki: .....Then what is it!?

Kasumi's thoughts: There's no way I can tell him.

**Pg. 58**

//batan// [Kasumi comes home]

Kasumi's mom: Kasumi! Are you home? Do you want to eat?

Kasumi: Oh...sure...wait, did you make it? Are you sure it's okay? Can you eat it?

**Pg. 59**

Kasumi's mom: If you think that way, come home sooner and make something! Your food is better anyway.

Kasumi: I was lying. I'm sorry. I will have some. I'm going to go change, okay?

//kachya batan// [Kasumi opens and closes her door]

Kasumi's thoughts: After trying to have sex with my brother, I'm laughing and talking to my mother...If I was a parent, I wouldn't want a daughter like me.

**Pg. 60**

Kasumi's thoughts: And on top of that, I regret rejecting my brother more than thinking about morals.

Kasumi: Yoshiki...

**Pg. 61**

Kasumi: I already know about his ex-girlfriend, so why am I all of sudden...It's not like it's my first time.

Kasumi's thoughts: What I can't forgive isn't Kyoko-san's words. I know what she was really trying to say. That smile.

**Pg. 62**

Kasumi's thoughts: She was trying to tell me, "He loves you the same way he loves me". What I hated was that boastful smile like she had won.

**Pg. 63**

Kazuki: Welcome! Kasumi!

Kasumi: Ha ha. I came by myself today.

Kazuki: Great timing. There's something I wanted to show you too.

**Pg. 64**

Kazuki: I'm getting off early today. Are you free afterwards?

Kasumi: Hmmmm....I don't know....

Kazuki: Please!

Kazuki's boss: Sawamura, there's no picking up girls within the store. Unless you're going to share, then I'll accept it.

Kazuki: She's my friend! You perverted boss.

Kasumi: No, no, I'm joking. I'm free after this.

Kazuki: Really? Then I'll see ya later!

Kasumi's thoughts: When I'm feeling down and see Kazuki, I feel a lot better.

Kasumi: Wow!

**Pg. 65**

Kasumi: You bought a car!

Kazuki: Ha ha! I was working for this. Let's go on a drive. Get in , get in! If you don't get in, I can't let anyone else in.

Kasumi: What....

**Pg. 66**

Kasumi: You're pretty romantic, Kazuki.

Kazuki: Can you call me whole-hearted instead?

Kasumi: Um...Kazuki...

Kazuki: I won't rush you. I told you that I'm not going to accept Yoshiki-kun and I still think that way, but I don't want you to ignore me because of that. It can be the change of your mood or anything, so...It might seem like all talk, but I haven't gave up on you.

**Pg. 67**

Kazuki: Oh, sorry. I'm gonna go buy some ciagrettes real quick.

Kasumi: Okay.

//ki// [car stops]

Kasumi's thoughts: Sorry Kazuki...

//pi// [Kasumi dials Yoshiki's number]

Kasumi's thoughts: I wonder if Yoshiki's still mad.

**Pg. 68**

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

Yoshiki's words: "Then what is it!?"

//RRRRRRRR// [phone ringing]

Kyoko: Yes, hello? Hello?

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

Kasumi: Why...!?

**Pg. 69**

Kyoko: That voice...is this Yoshiki's sister? Good evening. This is Kyoko. Yoshiki's not feeling well right now, so he's sleeping. If you have a message for him, I'll let him know for you. I'm here for him, so don't worry.

**Pg. 70**

//pi// [Kasumi hangs up phone]

Kazuki: Sorry I kept you waiting...Kasumi?

Kasumi: ...I have to go.

Kazuki: Are you talking about Yoshiki-kun?

**Pg. 71**

Kasumi: Because Kyoko-san was answering Yoshiki's phone...! And she said that Yoshiki wasn't feeling well...

Kazuki: I'm not going to let you go! Of course Kyoko-chan's going to answer his phone and take care of him. Yoshiki-kun's lover is Kyoko-san!

Kasumi: N...!

//gatsu// [Kasumi bites Kazuki]

**Pg. 72**

Kasumi: No, I'm his lover.

//ban// [Kasumi gets out of the car]

Kazuki: Kasumi...!

**Pg. 73**

Kyoko: I stopped by cause I had something to give you and you're sleeping because you're not feeling well. I'm glad I have a duplicate key.

**Pg. 74**

Yoshiki: Kyoko, I'm sorry, but...can you leave?

Kyoko: If I would've known, I could've bought you some medicine for your cold. You're refrigerator's empty.

//pachi// [Kyoko closes her purse]

Kyoko: But I guess that's obvious since you were about to move.

Yoshiki: Kyoko.

Kyoko: The reason why I stopped by was to give you this. I thought you could take it before you moved. It's our album. There's a lot, don't you think? It has been 12 years.

Yoshiki: Kyoko!

**Pg. 75**

//pin pooon// [door bell rings]

Yoshiki: It's alright, I'll get it.

**Pg. 76**

Kasumi: Yoshiki...! I...

**Pg. 77**

Yoshiki: Can you go home?

**Pg. 79**

Yoshiki: Kyoko, will you go home?

//gata gatan// [Kyoko leaves]

**Pg. 80**

//ban// [Kyoko slams the door]

//fui// [Yoshiki turns away]

Kasumi's thoughts: What...?

Kasumi: Oh...I heard that you weren't feeling well. Are you okay? Is there something you want to eat...?

**Pg. 81**

Kasumi's thoughts: He's still mad. I'm so stupid. I got all excited and just came.

Kasumi: I'm sorry...I'll go home. Take care of yourself.

Yoshiki: Can I touch you now?

**Pg. 82**

//dosa// [Yoshiki pushes Kasumi onto his bed]

Kasumi: Yoshiki...!

Yoshiki: Why did you refuse me the other day? But today you came on your own terms. What's going on?

Kasumi: Wait...! Let me go...

**Pg. 83**

Yoshiki: Tell me. If you don't tell me, I'll do it. I can't be rational right now because of my fever, so there's no way I'll stop in the middle.

Kasumi: No...!

Yoshiki: Even though I'm not feeling well, I still have the energy to make you do whatever I want you to. Tell me.

**Pg. 84**

Kasumi: Ah...n...No..! No...all of a sudden...Ouch...!

Yoshiki: I told you I'm not going to go easy on you.

Kasumi's thoughts: Oh no...my head...

**Pg. 85**

Kasumi's thoughts: It's like my body isn't mine anymore...

Kasumi: ....Kyoko-san said...

**Pg. 86**

Kasumi: I'm sorry...I wasn't going to tell you...

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

Kasumi's thoughts: Did he get tired of me...?

**Pg. 87**

Kasumi: What is that?

Yoshiki: Kyoko just brought it over. It's our album from the past.

**Pg. 88**

Kasumi: Yoshiki! What are you doing!? That's your album, right!?

Yoshiki: Tell me.

**Pg. 89**

Yoshiki: What else should I do? How can I make you feel at ease?

Kasumi's thoughts: He wasn't mad or worried, his eyes told me that he was hurt.

**Pg. 90**

Kasumi: I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Yoshiki.

Kasumi's thoughts: Did you always do that? Everytime I felt insecure, did you always have those eyes?

**Pg. 91**

Kasumi's thoughts: I didn't know. I was desperately protecting my own pride...I was foolish...

**Pg. 92**

Sales Lady: Thank you for waiting Suzumura-sama...here are your papers for your move. Here is your citizen card.

Yoshiki: Thank you.

**Pg. 93**

//uiiiin// [electric door opens]

//don// [Man bumps into Yoshiki]

Man: Oh, excuse me.

//zawa zawa// [murmuring of crowd]

**Pg. 94**

Yoshiki: Excuse me, can I get one more...?

//zaaaaaaaa// [raining]

**Pg. 95**

Kasumi: Yoshiki!? You suprised me at this time...I thought you were Mom. You're drenched. Well, it did just start raining. Hurry up and come inside...

Yoshiki: ......

Kasumi: What?

**Pg. 96**

Yoshiki: Kasumi!

**Pg. 97**

Yoshiki: We're...!
