Fruits Basket Chapter 34 Translation
Notes:
1) The following sentences labeled "text" actually refers to
unknown people who are talking.
2) Here I refer to the sign Kyou is posessed by as the "Cat
Demon", because that's roughly how they put it in the manga. It
wouldn't seem the same if I just called it "Cat" or "Demon"...
3) Kyou calls Kazuma "Shishou". This isn't a nickname; rather,
it's another way of saying "Teacher" or "Master". I've decided
not to translate it simply because I didn't think of doing
that first time and now that I've typed out the whole thing I
don't want to have to correct it all over again. ^_^;;

Pg 97

Text: I heard it was suicide!
Text: What the actual situation really is, it seems as if it's not yet very clear...
Text: Because of the suffering of having a son who is possessed by the cat demon, and so committed suicide...? Is it...?
Text: So pitiful...
Text: If not for giving birth to a son who is possessed by the cat demon, this wouldn't have happened...
Young Kyou: Shut up!
Text: That child didn't even shed a tear!
Text: It's his mother who died right!?
Text: It's he who forced his mother to kill herself!
Young Kyou: Shut your mouth...!
Young Kyou: It's not my fault!! It's got nothing to do with me!
Kazuma: That's right!
------
Pg 98
------
Kazuma: I understand...
------
Pg 99
------
Kazuma: How do you do,
Young Kyou: ...
Kazuma: I'm called Kazuma Souma...
Young Kyou: It's not my fault...!
Young Kyou: It's not my fault!
Young Kyou: Not me...
Kazuma: ------ ... It's all right.
Kazuma: It's all right, I understand.
------
Pg 100
------
Young Kyou: ...
Kazuma: Kyou...?
Kazuma: Do you agree or not agree to live together with me?
Kazuma: Don't judge me by my appearance,
Kazuma: I'm actually a karate teacher! If you're interested, you can also try learning it!
Kyou Monologue (Hereafter known as KM. ^_^): This person...
KM: Why does he want to raise me? Is it sympathy or an order? I don't know.
Text: Look! It's Kyou!
------
Pg 101
------
Text: Kazuma is really raising him!
Text: {But... even if being a father is too much, but Kazuma is still so pitiful!}
Text: Indeed... even though he's so young... there's no need...
KM: Even though I don't understand...
(Fx: Hold up!)
Young Kyou: !?
Young Kyou: !?
Young Kyou: !?
Kazuma: From now on, you should breathe in even {higher air}. (I think he's saying that the air up there is fresher. *smile*)
------
Pg 102
------
KM: But he was the first person to let me see the "outside" world.
KM: He is the person who held my hand,
Young Kyou: Ah! What... what is that!?
Kazuma: It's a train.
Young Kyou: Tr, train!
KM: And stayed by my side.
Note (Next to Kyou): Sitting straight
Kazuma: Exercising the strength of your spirit, is also one practice. (Literally Buddhist or Taoist practice) Be patient.
Young Kyou: You... You're called Shishou, right!
Kazuma: What?
Young Kyou: The TV said, a person who teaches karate is called Shishou, so you're Shishou!
Kazuma: Ha ha! Perhaps it's indeed like that, but
Kazuma: {those students have never called me that!}
------
Pg 103
------
KM: {So much so that it can be said...}
(Background fx: Haha!)
Young Kyou: ......
Young Kyou: Shi...
(Background fx: Hahaha...)
Kyou: Shishou...
(Background fx: Haha..)
Kazuma: ... You're back, Kyou!
KM: I don't know how Shishou...
KM: Saved me...
------
Pg 104
------
KM: If Shishou was my real father that would be good!
Young Kyou: Sui! *
KM: But if I said this, what would Shishou's expression be?
KM: Will he laugh or will his face be disturbed? Or even quietly silent?
KM: Even if it is because of sympathy or kindness, the fact that he raised me,
KM: {Even if I will be teased "You've done something wrong", perhaps it makes him feel worried,}
Text: Why do you use violence to resolve situations?
Text: They're just teasing you about your hair colour!
Text: His father's coming immediately.
(fx: Ka cha!*)
Text: It seems he's his adopted father...
Text: How did he raise him!
------
Pg 105
------
Text: It's unexpected that he actually raised a child possessed by the cat demon.
Text: Kazuma must also be a bit weird right?
KM: Hurt...
Kyou: ......No...!
Kyou: Shishou isn't my father!!
KM: The slander which makes people nauseated,
KM: Because of me he gets gossiped about for no reason,
KM: Shishou bears it unendingly
KM: But he raised me to grow up into a man anyway.
KM: Under these circumstances, how can I ask for more?
------
Pg 106
------
KM: I don't want him to be slandered by people anymore, I don't want to become his burden!
Kyou: (flashback) Don't put me and Shishou together as father and son!
KM: Even if he's not my father it doesn't matter,
KM: All the pain he's received...
Kyou: Hu...*
Kyou: .........
Kyou: !
Kyou: ......
------
Pg 107
------
(FX: Dong da dong da dong da...*)
Shigure: Hi, morning!
Kyou: ...... Shishou...
Kyou: Shishou he...
Shigure: He's gone back!
Kyou: What?
Shigure: Tooru's sending him off now.
------
Pg 108
------
Kyou: Wh... why...
Kyou: ... wu*!
(FX: Dong da! Dong da! Dong da! Dong da!*)
KM: Why is it like this...
KM: He left without saying goodbye?
Kazuma: (Flashback) {I want to catch hold of that hand that's trying to escape...}
Kazuma: (Flashback) Kyou,
Kazuma: (Flashback) {Your life... is it really "A fake thing already over"?}
------
Pg 109
------
Kazuma: (Flashback) You'll be unable to move forward!
KM: Why!
KM: I didn't get to say... even one word of thanks!
Kazuma: It's enough to send me as far as here, thank you.
Tooru: That... That... You really should talk to Kyou...
Tooru: Even though I know I'm meddling too much... but...
Tooru: That...
------
Pg 110
------
Kazuma: ...
Kazuma: I don't know...
Kazuma: ... That I...... raised Kyou,
Kazuma: Was a kind of mental atonement...
Kazuma: My grandfather was like Kyou, he was possessed by the cat demon.
Kazuma: His family stayed away from him, his clan slandered him...
Kazuma: He received a lot of unfair treatment.
Kazuma: And myself as well... I was also one of those people.
------
Pg 111
------
Kazuma: Even though I only met my grandfather once ------
Kazuma's grandfather: (Flashback) Kazuma, come, grandfather wants to give you some small snacks.
Young Kazuma: (Flashback) I... I don't want...
Young Kazuma: (Flashback) Because I'll get cursed...
Kazuma: I said... something very cruel.
Kazuma Monologue (Hereafter known as KZM, so as not to mix it up with KM): Yet grandfather he...
Kazuma's grandfather: (Flashback) I see...
KZM: Still smiled and forgave me.
Kazuma: He was very gentle, but...
------
Pg 112
------
Kazuma: Grandfather passed away, and I slowly grew older, then Kyou was born.
Kazuma: This was the first time I used a third person's point of view, to see Kyou's surroundings... my feelings became deeper.
Kazuma: Stupid, cruel...
Kazuma: Yet all this...
Kazuma: Comparing us together, nothing changed,
Kazuma: We're still totally the same.
Kazuma: So it was as if I was atoning, by raising him. Maybe I hoped that by doing this,
Kazuma: I could get rid of the inner feeling of having done something cruel.
Kazuma: ......
Kazuma: But...
KZM: Once we were living together, living our lives together...
Kazuma: Without knowing or realizing...
------
Pg 113
------
Kazuma: It became love...
KZM: Every time I saw him smiling, it felt as if that love was growing deeper.
KZM: Not only cherishing, but also worried,
KZM: Hoping that he can have a better life than anyone else.
Kazuma: Just like... a father's feelings for his son.
Kazuma: It's just like this time, I ignored his protests, took away his bracelet,
Kazuma: Forced my one-sided beliefs onto him.
Kyou: (flashback) Shisou isn't my father!
------
Pg 114
------
KZM: Seeing this from Kyou's point of view, my feelings would be a burden...
Kazuma: So, I don't understand...
Kazuma: How should I talk to him?
Kazuma: To contain my consciousness...
Kazuma: To tell him "That's great" would be too...
Tooru: ...
KZM: Too willful.
Kazuma: And, I was only {making a 'contract'}, the real person who saved Kyou...
Kazuma: Is actually you.
Kazuma: Because of you, Kyou...
------
Pg 115
------
Tooru: Shisou-san...
Tooru: Shisou-san, is this... really only a {beneficial self doctrine}? (0_o That sounds... weird. >_< And did I ever tell you dictionaries use profound words? ^_^;;;)
Tooru: But... I have a...
Tooru: Very warm feeling.
Tooru: Shisou-san... I don't know what you're thinking, but, I now feel... I feel that looking at Shisou-san...
Tooru: You're exactly like a "father".
------
Pg 116
------
Kyou: (off) Shisou!!
Kazuma: !
Kyou: ......
Tooru: Kyou...
------
Pg 117
------
Kyou: ... Urgh!
Kyou: Why...!
Tooru: Kyou...
Kyou: Why...!
Kyou: Why must you be like this... saying nothing before leaving!
Kyou: Running away just like a thief!
------
Pg 118
------
Kazuma: Ha! Kyou...
Kyou: You......
Kyou: Did you think I'll be angry?
Kyou: You...are you... disappointed in me?
------
Pg 119
------
Kyou: I'm always causing you more problems...
Kyou: I'm sorry...
Kyou: To want you to look after... a pampered child like me,
Kyou: always saying "I want to return home" and so on... (Note: Kyou didn't really use the word "home" here. He used a phrase which I'm not entirely sure how to translate properly... I think it means "temple" or something)
Kyou: As if I made you out to be some sort of haven... I'm sorry...
Kyou: But!
Kyou: Even though I'm like this, and can only continue to be this way, but there will be one day,
Kyou: Where I will become, a person who can move forward on his own!
Kyou: I won't ever hurt you, or become your burden.
Kyou: I will...
Kyou: I will...
Kyou: .........
Kyou: .........
------
Pg 120
------
Kyou: ... uh!
Kyou: I will become...
Kyou: A person whom Shisou can proudly say...
Text: I'm this child's father...
Kyou: I definitely will...
------
Pg 121
------
Kyou: I will!
------
Pg 122
------
KZM: {Since a long time ago...}
KZM: {We rubbed shoulders while passing,}
KZM: {We made a large circle while walking along a road, but maybe...}
KZM: {Now, we can finally...}
KZM: {You and I can meet.} (I'm sorry if that sounded horrible and made no sense at all... I can't translate that bit properly! >_<)
------
Pg 123
------
KZM: This must be...
Tooru: !?
Kazuma: ......
Kazuma: You're still too early...
------
Pg 124
------
Kazuma: You still always need me to look after you... my son,
Kazuma: Kyou!
Kyou: .........
Kyou: So......
Kyou: So, you didn't have to send me flying so far!
Tooru: ...
Kazuma: If you can't even block this blow, then perhaps it's you who's a bit too weak?
------
Pg 125
------
Tooru: .........
Kyou: Ah! Tooru!
Tooru: Huh!?
Kyou: Did you see that just now?
Tooru: What? Ah, yes!!
Kyou: See, it's like I said!
Kyou: My Shishou is very strong!
------
Pg 126
------
Tooru: ... Yes... Yes! Yes!!
Kyou: To have it said like that in a row by you, it makes me feel angry. Anyhow I can't beat him!
Tooru: Ah!!
KZM: This must be...
KZM: Because of this girl...
KZM: Because Tooru...
KZM: Was able to stay by his side is the reason.
Kyou: Isn't that true?
Tooru: Wu*......
