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*......
