Yuki is standing in front of his classmates trying to decide what flavor rice balls to sell at the cultural festival. Now Kyo starts talkin’ about dumb stuff, like having a riceball battle, and of course, nobody is listening. But when Yuki starts rambling off ideas, he gets the classroom’s complete attention, as usual.

Kyo gets all pissed off (his natural state), and all the sudden, a herd of cats hover around him, with smiles on their faces. Gee, I didn’t know cats knew how to smile. Now I guess since Kyo is a cat too, I can understand the attraction, but since he’s got anger issues, who in the hell would want to hang around him?

Well I’m personally not scared, ’cause I know I can drop kick him into oblivion, but if I was a cat, I’d be a little concerned about where I choose to hang out. Now Kyo says that Shigure attracts dogs (cause he is one, remember), and Yuki attracts mice. WHAT?

Now who in the hell would want to hang around Yuki, if all he’s gonna do is attract a bunch of rats? Think about it, you’re sitting down, eating in a restaurant with him, then, out of nowhere, a whole bunch of rats come to join you. EW! No way Jose!

After coping an attitude, Kyo escapes to the school rooftop (wonder how he got up there), and Tohru follows. Once again Kyo starts talking about how he hates Yuki ’cause he’s so cool, and blah, blah, blah. But remember, Yuki does care for Kyo either, in part because he has no problem being himself when he’s around other people. Yeah, a big ass jerk.

Now Kyo has a good reason not to like Yuki, after all Yuki is a pretty classy guy, until he put that dress on! That’s right, you heard it folks, some of the senior girls put their money together to buy Yuki a dress, and asked him to wear it to the festival. Okay, there’s something wrong here, why in the hell would you buy a dress for a guy to wear?

But Yuki wears it anyway, and he can’t stand it, but no one seems to mind, even the guys. Momiji pops up from out of nowhere, and jumps on Yuki’s neck. Hey, it’s anime, anything is possible, remember? One of the first things out of his mouth is that Yuki looks like a girl.

“Momiji, you got a lot of nerve, have you looked in the mirror lately?” I’m telling you, if that kid didn’t hug Tohru, and change into a rabbit, I would have thought he was a girl. Remember, if a member of the zodiac hugs someone of the opposite sex, they transform.

Wait a minute, who’s this good looking guy that came with Momiji? It’s Hatori (like I know who that is). He’s a doctor, and a member of the Sohma family which means he’s a member of the zodiac. Which animal is he, well, you’ll find out in the next episode.

Hatori came to check up on Yuki, who used to be an asthma sufferer, but he also wants to have a private conversation with Tohru at the Sohma estate. Uh oh, what does he want to see her for? Is he gonna ask her out on a date? Is he gonna try to cut her head off? Is he gonna have a surprise birthday party for her?

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the next episode!

In this episode, Father Nightroad is pitted against some vampire fairies. Huh? You gotta be kidding, right? Not only are the enemies fairies, but they’re nothin’ but a bunch of kids, not even of high school age. BORING! I’m sorry, but any show with kids under the age of 14 act as the villain, I’m not interested.

Leon (aka cute guy #6) can’t even save this episode. Well, he might have, if we knew more about him. All we know is that he’s some guy that Nightroad recruited from jail to help him track down Professor James Barry, the guy who’s responsible for creating these vampire fairies.

Why Nightroad needs help from this guy is beyond me. He should have just went alone, changed into a crusnik, and owned those dumb fairies! Now this Leon guy is definitely great to look at, however he’s no Tres, or Hugue, or Nightroad, so he can just fall off the cliff, and I wouldn’t have noticed. But I do have one question, if Leon’s an inmate doing time, why in the hell is he wearing the priestly robes?

This series is about an emo dude named Ayumu, who gets into a bit of trouble in this episode, but with some brains, easily get’s out of it. He may be a genius like his brother Kyotaka, but unfortunately, Ayumu constantly lives in his shadow, which is kind of interesting since his brother has been missing for two years.

Last time Ayumu heard from his brother, he phoned to say he was off to pursue the mystery of the Blade Children, but he has never returned. Now I wish I could tell you more about the Blade Children, and as soon as I get more information on them, I’ll let you know.

Ayumu is an interesting character, he’s a loner, and a bore. Now how do I know this? Because every time he says something, I start to yawn. But I must give him kudos on having a brilliant mind, like his brother, and for being an excellent cook. So ladies, when you meet a guy that knows how to cook, hold on to him as long as you can!

But in this episode, he just threw some instant curry together, and there’s a certain sister-in-law that’s not so happy about that. 

Only thing is, I’m not sure that we ever find out who they are, but I do know they are cursed, but cursed with what, scarlet fever? Anyway, Ayumu needs to stop fantasizing about his brother, and focus on the present, ’cause he’s the main suspect in a possible murder plot.

Second year student Sayoko Shirangatani fell off the school building ledge, and Ayumu was seen nearby, and from what Professor Sinobe says, he didn’t try to help. Now I would have blamed Ayumu on looks alone, after all, he walks around lookin’ like a drugged out emo, of course he did it, right?

Uh oh, here comes Ayumu’s future sidekick Hiyono Yuizaki, and the editor of the Tsukiomi Academy Newspaper, and she’s all up in Ayumu’s grill, trying to get the 411 on everything that happened, even though she needs to go sit her ass down in a study hall somewhere.

Madoka (detective, and Ayumu’s sister in law), and Suemaru (another detective), come onto the scene to start the interrogations, but Ayumu is way too smart for them, and is able to solve this crime, without their help. You know, it’s a shame when a high school kid is smarter than the detectives that are supposed to be solving this kind of stuff.

While Sinobe didn’t push Sayoko off that landing, he is responsible for her terrifying fall, and all he needed was a pair of glasses to get the job done. Only thing is, Sinobe failed to kill Sayoko, and now he has a lot of explaining to do.
