 MARMALADE BOY #13 (KD)

The story opens with Miki with her hair in a towel remembering the time she spent with Yuu and Ginta before the match. She realizes that both are important to her but has made up her mind to talk to Ginta the next day regardless.

Ginta, at school, worries what he's going to do. He regrets that he's forced her to make a decision because as long as she's confused about who to pick, he has a chance to get closer to her. As it is, he's afraid he'll be turned down.

Miki and Ginta talk on the school building roof. She tells him that she really cares about him. This excites him. But then she adds...she also has feelings for Yuu. (disappointment)

Miki goes on to tell Ginta that she can't date him because she's a girl that has feelings for another guy too. She feels that he wouldn't want her like that.
Ginta jumps on that and says that he doesn't care that she would forget Yuu after they were together. Miki doubts it because Yuu lives in the same house and she'd have to see him everyday. So, since she doesn't want to keep him from having a chance for a great friend, she tells him to please take Arimi-san.

At this point, Ginta wants to tell her the truth...that's there's nothing between him and Arimi-san, it was all a ruse...but then, he imagines Miki yelling that she hates him. He figures he can't do it.

Later, Miki plays tennis while Ginta watches on. He's holding the Toryo medallion with Miki's photo in it. He decides he has no other choice but to tell Miki the truth.

Miwa and Meiko are in the library talking when Namura shows up. Namura and Meiko can't spend time together because Miwa is there.

At a cafe, Miki and Meiko discuss the latest developments in Miki's world. Meiko tells Miki that she really needs both guys because Yuu is like a breath of fresh air for her...but that she still needs Ginta who stands by her side. This depresses Miki no end...it's too late to hear that
now that she told Ginta to take Arimi-san.

Later Miki goes shopping by herself. She's too depressed to get her heart into it though.

On the way home, she bumps into Arimi-san. Arimi is carrying a large handbag and tells Miki that she going to spend the night at a friends house...can she guess who. That's right...at Ginta's. Arimi tells Miki that she's really nervous because this is her first time to spend the night at a boys house. When Arimi is through razzing Miki, she exclaims that she's just kidding but Miki's already left in a daze.

Ginta confronts Miki in front of her house and tells her everything, apologizes and asks her to forgive him. Miki's knees buckle. Ginta is stunned to hear from Miki that she was afraid she'd lost him as a close friend and that she was glad to hear that it wasn't true. Ginta, feeling
very passionate, says her name in that tone. Miki, jumps back from him realizing that he's feeling that way. She tells him that that's not the mood she's in and tells him to wait! He tells he won't wait anymore and grabs her and pulls her in for a kiss. Just as he's almost there... we
hear "Stop!" and a hand holding a small paper bag is pushed into his face and another hand covers Miki's mouth. Yuu's back.

Yuu asks Ginta what the hell he's doing with his "family" out in public, etc. He marches Miki into the house with his hand still over her mouth.

Inside Miki tries to ask him why he stopped her. She wants to know if he's jealous. Yuu acts innocent and walks away looking completely unperturbed.

An irritated Miki wondered to herself "How can you walk away from me with a smiling face...Stupid!"

 MARMALADE BOY #14 (KD)

Namura is featured playing with his class as a teacher. There's an upcoming exam and he's giving the kids a hint as to what will be on it.
Meiko watches on and remembers dating Namura at an aquarium. It was the day he told her that he found out he would be teaching her class the next term. This meant that they could no longer date until she graduated from High School...teacher/student dating is taboo.

Later Miwa looks for Meiko in the library but she's not there. He does find Yuu, who tries to avoid him like the plague.

Arimi confronts Miki on Miki's school grounds and lets her know that even though her plan has been ruined, she won't give up on Yuu.

A distraught Arimi runs away from Miki and by coincidence see Yuu as he comes out of the school building. She runs up to Yuu and embraces him. He tells her he thinks she made a mistake, he's not Suou (Ginta). He looks totally uninterested as she relates that he MUST know that it was all an act to make Miki-san jealous. But Yuu doesn't respond. Arimi reaches up
and kisses him in front of everyone in the school yard. This is something rather unheard of in Japanese schoolyards. (Grin)

Kijima, Namura and Ryouko sit in a bar and talk about the situation between Yuu, Miki, and Arimi. Namura tells Kijima it's their business (the kids) and that he, even as their teacher, has no right to evade their privacy and that he really shouldn't discuss it.

Miki and Yuu sit in their rooms in the dark thinking that night.

At Meiko's there's a screaming match going on between her parents. It's ugly, with accusations about each other's lovers. Meiko can't bear to listen to any more of this and runs out the door and through the streets.

Ryouko, who's never told him how she really feels about him, invites Namura up to her apartment. He politely declines.

When he gets back to his apartment, he find Meiko there banging on his door in tears.

 MARMALADE BOY #15 (KD)

Miki calls Meiko's house fairly late (it's the same night as when Meiko ran out the front door) and the maid tells her that Miss Meiko is out.

Miki leaves home the next morning early and without breakfast in order to avoid Yuu (who, of course, was kissed by Arimi the previous day).

At school the next morning, Meiko shows up later than usual... just a bit behind Namura-sensei.

Miki is suddenly banged on the head by something. She angrily turns around and sees Yuu holding her lunch...she forgot it in her rush to leave in the morning.

Later, Meiko is in the library and thinks Namura has come when she hears someone heading her way. It's Miwa.

Ginta motions Miki to meet him on the roof. He tells her that he's decided to wait for her until she realizes that he's better than Matsuura (Yuu). But, he won't wait forever so make up her mind!
And, by the way, he's been thinking about her during tennis practice. He's noticed her legs are getting thicker! This sets Miki off no end and they start razing each other in a fun way that ends up with them making a bet for cake at the Loft House.

Namura is requested to come to the Principal's office.

Yuu and Miki leave for school together the next morning and find when they get there that the hallways full of students are buzzing about something. It's about Namura-sensei and Meiko. In her classroom, her Ginta and the other classmates tell her the story.

Meiko walks in, picks up her schoolbag and walk away. She stops only briefly to say she's been expelled and a brief "bye bye".

Miwa confronts Meiko briefly as she's going down the stairs.

Miki decides she wants to talk to Na-chan (Namura-sensei) but gets a dose of the Vice-principal, Kyoto-sensei, instead.

Ryouko is in the teachers room. She tries to cheer Namura up by telling him that she'll have to tell Kijima about all this, Kijima will be jealous of him dating a high school girl.

Miki ditches school to go to Meiko's home. Meiko and Miki walk through the garden at Meiko's family's estate and discuss Meiko's situation. Meiko ends up hurting Miki's feelings and Miki runs off, comes home and shuts herself in her room.

 MARMALADE BOY #16 (KD)

Miki is in her room remembering how she and Meiko first met and how much she admired her. And recalls their close friendship since then. Outside her bedroom door Yuu looks concerned but obviously decides to leave her alone.

Meiko looks out at the night sky through her bedroom window. She thinks about how she had no choice the night she went to Sensei's apartment and feels if she didn't have Sensei she would’nt know what to do.

She notices a photo of her and Miki together and realizes she hurt her badly especially since Miki doesn't really know the whole story.

Miki’s parents beg her to come out and talk to them if she has a problem...she can talk to them about anything. Miki comes out with tears in her eyes.

But, when push comes to shove, the parents think the whole thing with Meiko is really nifty. They're excited!

The mothers think Meiko's quite a girl and that Na-chan is a good looking young man. Jin doesn't think Na-chan is good enough for Meiko (he's a Meiko fan). Youji said he had a "thing" going with his high school teacher after school. Jin wants to know the detail. And Chiyako said she'd LOVE to be a teacher at an all boys school - doing you know what.

Miki leaves them absolutely furious that they would act that way, when she's SO DEPRESSED!

She returns to the upstairs floor to find Yuu waiting for her. He tells her that she's pretty slow not to realize the low level their parents minds are on...her temper puckers her face up.
Yuu then softens and tells her that he thinks everyone has "some" things they can't tell anyone. That it hurts to tell them to anyone but it also hurts to hold them in.

He finger thumps her nose and says "Good night". Miki says "Good night" and thinks to herself that he helped her to understand Meiko better and yet it sounded like he was talking about himself.

At school the next morning Namura's students are all fired up over what's going on. Kyoto-sensei (Vice-principal) comes in to tell them that they will have a self-study period. She isn't real pleasant about their tendency to call Namura-sensei, "Na-chan", and accuses them, among other things, of being the reason for all the problem...because they'll crossed
the line on the teacher/student relationship.

Namura sits with the principal and much to the protestations of the principal Namura hands in his resignation.

In the teacher’s office, Ryouko remember when she, Namura, and Kijima were in High School. She and Kijima were going steady. But Namura was always by her side. The three of them felt inseparable and so they were always together. Gradually her feelings moved and deepened for Namura.

One day, Kijima left for the US. His parents had been transferred. He seemed sad the day he left because he seemed to know her feelings for Namura. Later she got a letter from him telling her to be happy with Namura.

Some years later, Kijima remet a girl that put her Toryo medallion in his bag just before he left for America. They fell in love and were married.

Ryouko's feelings have never been revealed to Namura, she simple plays the part of a good friend.

Miki tries to call Meiko from a pay phone at school but Meiko is not allowed any phone calls.

Ryouko confronts the principal while he's talking to Namura because she heard rumors among the other teachers that Namura will be fired. Instead she finds out that it was Namura's decision.

He tells her later, outside the office, that it was the best way he could show his love for Akizuki (Meiko). He's going back to Hiroshima to work with his parents' real estate office.

She's very upset that he would give up his teaching career and tries to talk him out of it. But he asks her to understand his reasons, after all, she knows him better than anyone. Ryouko walks away from him in distress over the situation.

Meanwhile, Miwa was coming down the hall when this conversation was taking place and so he overheard it. Miwa is no shrinking violet. He tells Namura that he thinks he's a
coward and just want to look innocent of impropriety. But then too, he feels that Namura leaving will make it easier for him to approach Akizuki and is sure to let Namura know it.

 MARMALADE BOY #17 (KD)

Namura goes to Meiko's house to talk to Meiko and her parents. He's refused.

Later, when Meiko's father leaves, the telephone rings...it's Namura. Even though she's been told not to let Meiko talk to Na-chan, the maid hands her the phone.

He tells her everything will be all right soon and assures her that it's not her fault. He's resigned and is going to Hiroshima. That he really did love her.

Meiko, of course, is very upset by this turn of events. Namura goes on to tell her that she will meet someone else that is better than he is..(more fitting with her age and background). He tells her goodbye.

Meiko decides she doesn't care if she gets expelled for good. She goes to her closet.

Miki is home on her bed thinking about the events with Meiko and Na-chan and she can't get Meiko's cruel words out of her mind. Yuu knocks on the door and tells her that they have a visitor - Meiko.

Meiko tells Miki that she doesn't need to come out of her room...to please just listen. Meiko
then relates the story of how she and Sensei met (when she was in Jr. High) and how and when they feel in love.

To Miki, she tells her that she can't tell everything -that that's her personality and she doesn't even like herself that way. But she always liked the fact that Miki was so open with her. She assures her that she really likes Miki.

After, Yuu offers to take Meiko home. But Meiko declines saying that she has a taxi waiting. She tells Yuu to please take care of Miki.

Yuu realizes that Meiko is planning to elope with Na-chan and rushes into Miki's room to tell her. Miki is depressed and has no confidence, so Yuu verbally pushes her until she'll agree to go to the train station to support Akizuki. Miki and Yuu race hand and hand through the streets to get to the train station.

Meiko arrives at the station relieved to see that Sensei is there. She wasn't sure what time his train left. Meiko begs him to take her with him. But he refuses and makes it clear that things are over between them. The train pulls away. Meiko races after it.

Miki and Yuu find Meiko leaning against a pole. Miki asks Meiko where Na-chan is. Meiko tells her he left and that he said "no". She leans against Miki and cries.

 MARMALADE BOY #18 (KD)

Miki and Yuu are sitting at the table the next morning before school. Miki is worried. Meiko should be at school that day. She doesn't know what to say to Meiko. Yuu tells her to be normal, that that's the best way. Besides, Miki is so silly she can make anyone smile. This irritates Miki.

On the way to school Miki and Yuu see Meiko ahead of them. Miki pauses not sure what to do. Yuu gives her a shove and she practically bumps into Meiko. It's all smiles and the buddies are back together.

Meiko's classmates greet her warmly and later Ginta, Yuu, Miki, Chigusa are a guard for her against gossips as she walks down the hall.

Miki, Meiko and some of the other girls are sitting at a table at school. Miki has a hand held electronic thing that in one position is a game and in another is a love fortune teller. She asks an absent minded looking Meiko if she'd like to try it. Meiko declines and asks if everyone
will excuse her. She leaves and goes to the library.

In the library Meiko thinks about Sensei as a tears roll down her cheek. Miwa comes by a see her. He looks like his heart is breaking for her. But he leaves her alone.

Miki and Ginta are on the tennis courts while Ryouko looks on unseeingly. She's thinking about the situation with Namura.

After the tennis practice, Ginta and Miki talk. Ginta tells Miki that he's glad to see Meiko looking better. Miki tells him that Meiko's working awfully hard at it. Ginta suggests that they take Meiko somewhere to help her feel better on Sunday. Miki agrees that it's a wonderful idea and why don't they stop by Yuu's work and invite him to go too. (Ginta's a bit disappointed).

Miki and Ginta arrive at Yuu’s work about a minute after Arimi. They tell Yuu about Ginta's idea. And Yuu agrees that it's a good one and plans to come.

Arimi tells them that there's no reason why they shouldn't invite her too. But the guys try to stop her after all it's for Akizuki. But Miki stops them and tells them that more people is better. Miki secretly thinks she must be crazy for inviting Arimi but she didn't want to have to explain
about Meiko's situation and besides she only want to make Meiko happy, that's all she cares about.

Sunday morning Miki is finishing up a HUGE lunch that Chiyako helped her learn how to do. The big lunch basket to carry it in is what cause Yuu and Miki to be late for their rendezvous with the others at Karyon Farm.

Yuu decides that since the basket is so heavy they should eat before doing anything else.

Arimi's lunch is so good looking, Miki is afraid to bring out hers. But she does eventually and surprises Ginta no end. Yuu spends his time teasing Miki about her lunch (like...Hmm..it's not burnt!)

The rest of their time at Karyon Farm is spent playing...rowing boat, riding a train, riding bikes, etc. They finally rest while watching some horses. Miki says that the foal is so cute, she wants to touch it. Yuu says that she's so clumsy, he’ll bite her. She giggles.

Arimi informs Yuu that she's thirsty and he offers to get her some juice. Ginta says he'll go with him. Miki yells after them to please get them some too.

Meanwhile Meiko's hat blows off and flies into the corral. Miki offers to go get it. She slips on some manure. Meiko smiles and tells Arimi that Miki is always like this. She's clumsy, cheerful, and cares about her friends. Meiko tells her that Miki makes her smile.

Miki reaches the hat and notices the foal is right there. She turns to touch it and infuriates a stallion who's across the pen. A yell goes out to Yuu and Ginta from Arimi. They drop the juice can and run for the corral. Yuu yells at Miki to run. She does but she trips. The boys go
over and through the fence. As the mad horse is almost upon her, Yuu takes a flying leap through the air and grabs the horse’s neck and proceeds to calm him down.

Ginta helps Miki up and asks her if she all right. Miki doesn't answer, she looking at Yuu. Yuu is angry, he grabs her by the wrist and pulls her over to him saying "I told you it was dangerous!" Miki leans against him with tears and cries that she's sorry, so sorry. Yuu softly tells her it's OK. Meiko turns and says to Ginta and Arimi that it's not easy loving someone.

 MARMALADE BOY #19 (KD)

Yuu, Miki and the mothers are at the table eating dinner. Miki says the food is delicious and that she was really hungry. Yuu comments that it's because she's studying for a change. Chiyako gets after Yuu for saying such a thing to Miki. But Miki tells her that it's OK, she's used to his teasing. Yuu sarcastically says "Yeah, I'm such a tease." Miki sticks her tongue out at him and he returns the favor, Miki does it again. The mothers laugh and comment that they act like little children.

The mothers ask them if the next day is their last day of exams and would they come straight home after school. The kids, of course, want to know why. They're informed that the 6 month required wait before remarriage is up and that the couples can remarry now.

The mothers tell them their plan is not to have a fancy wedding but to celebrate instead at a fine Italian restaurant where the specialty (gag) is caviar and spaghetti.

The papers are filled out at the registry. Miki and Yuu congratulate the parents. Jin comments that it's time to continue on even though it's a bit early for their reservation at the restaurant. Youji agrees. Miki uncomfortably tells them that she's really sorry but that there something she needs to do. She takes off.

As she walks alone, she comes across things that remind her of her own childhood with her parents. It's early evening and Miki is sitting on a park bench when Yuu shows up and surprises her. He's apparently been following her.

He comments that she still isn't over the partner exchange and she replies that that's not it, she's actually gotten used to it. It's just that now her mother has a different name than her and it feels like she's a stranger. Yuu sits by her silently. Miki realizes this is Yuu’s way of being kind.

Later she and Yuu go to a fast food restaurant where Miki enjoys the teriyaki chicken. Yuu tells her it’s good but that they could have had a meal at a fancy Italian restaurant. He wanted to try the caviar and spaghetti (barf) and even the coffee would have been expresso or cappuccino.

Even though he doesn't sound like it, Miki knows Yuu is teasing her...that he's really sweet and kind. When she gets home that evening she takes her family photo out of her medallion and puts Yuu's in instead.

Furutachi-kun, camera in tow, is waiting somewhere within distance of the Matsuura/Koishikawa residence. The parents emerge and he is stunned by
their passion as they kiss their spouses goodbye.

Next the kids, Miki and Yuu, come out of the house together. The school reporter knows he's got a scoop!

At school, the reel runs showing that indeed Koishikawa-SAMA and Matsuura are living together! Of course, their parents are there so they aren't alone. Now, the school has the real story of the most popular couple in school!

The school is in a buzz. Some of the classmates try to figure out which parents is kissing whom.

Later, Miki and Yuu are in front of the principal in his office. The vice-principal is hostile but the principal, himself, is more interested in being sure that Miki and Yuu are not ashamed of their parents. It is normal he says for "some" unusual things to happen in society.
The principal is pleasant about it, but the vice-principal isn't.

Yuu tells them that even though they're teachers it's not appropriate for them to invade their privacy. This irritate Kyoto-sensei (vice-principal) who says it's strange parents like theirs that make kids like they are.

Miki disagrees and explains why in the beginning she wanted to keep their situation a secret. But that now she knows that they (the parents) are really serious. And like Meiko and Na-chan, she feels it isn't right the people who love each other be separated.

The parents show up with Furutachi-kun. The principal asks them who is Miki-san's parents...all four answer. He asks who are Yuu-kun's parents and they all answer "I am". The principal is surprised.

Jin introduces the man that he was in a business meeting with when he was called (he drug him along with him), Chiyako apologizes for wearing a lab jacket (she was in the middle of testing). The parents each take a part of the sentence which comes out "This marriages all our
selfishness". The principal laughs and tells the kids they have fine mothers and fathers.

Afterwards, the family is walking down the school hallway. Miki and Yuu pass Miwa. Yuu returns a polite "hi" to Miwa as they pass by. Miki gets excited and says she didn't know that he knew the student body president. Student body president? Yuu is surprised. Miki tell him that Miwa is smart and he's handsome too. Yuu is in shock and asks her to tell
him if she just said his name is "Miwa".

Yuu catches up with Miwa and asks if that invitation to see books on architecture is still open. Miwa tells him "anytime".

 MARMALADE BOY #20 (KD) (probably the funniest in the series)

Miki is in her room preparing another message for Meiko. She reminds Meiko that they won't have summer vacation until after the marathon.

Meiko and Miki are sitting at one of the tables outdoors at school with a group of friends. The girls, except Miki, are complaining about having to run a marathon. One wonders why they have to run it. Miki says it's because it's a famous event. Another girl reminds Miki that Miki'll be OK because she's in tennis club where she does a lot of running. One of them says she wonders who came up with this idea for a marathon. Meiko relies that she doesn't know but that she has a grudge against him.

One of the more notable gossips of the group leans over with the latest tidbit....Yuu and Miwa-san are a couple.

Yuu and Miwa-san are a couple? Miki is stunned and frankly doesn't believe it. Meiko is confused. She remembers all the things that Miwa has said to her in the past. But then, it could be that he's just hiding his homosexuality. Of course neither girl says these things out loud.

One of the girl's asks for Miki’s "love checker". The girl decides to test Yuu and Miwa on love affinity! Meiko decides it must be true. Miki yells at her and Meiko giggles and says she's just joking.

In the bushes, the girls look on Yuu and Miwa-san talking. Miki and Meiko give each other a bad time about blushing.

Meiko decides the reason everyone is talking is that the guys just look too good together. (Pretty boys.) Miki turns her head and sees and camera pointed at the guys. She asks Furutachi-kun what he's doing there. And he tells them that Yuu and Miwa-san is the hottest couple on campus. Hottest Couple?! Miki can't stand it, she tells Furutachi-kun off and tells him if he wants to get a scoop to look at OTHER COUPLES! Furutachi-kun tells her that's against the freedom of the press. A super deformed Miki rises above him and says "HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT!!!" A timid Furutachi says "No".

Miki is watching TV with her parents. In the a show with very melodramatic music, a man is trying to convince a woman not to go home in the evening but to stay with him. The woman tells him things like "No, I can't" , "This is enough for me for now", "I'm not ready yet". Miki
gets up and walks away thoroughly disgusted. This is not the kind of thing she wants to watch with her family...why don't they have any common sense.

The telephone ring and the parents, who are thoroughly absorbed in the drama ask, her to answer it.

It's Miwa calling for Yuu. Miki takes the portable up to his room. When Yuu finds out who it is, he acts rather strangely and closes the door.

Ginta meets Miki on the way to the tennis courts and helps her carry a rack of tennis balls. He tells her that he couldn't help her when she was worried about Meiko and about her own family but that he is so happy to see her smiling again. He notices she doesn't have her tennis racket and tells her to go get it; that he'll take care of the tennis balls.

Miki mentally thanks Ginta, while looking at the photo of Yuu in her medallion, for being a close friend and being so supportive. She thinks she must tell him soon about her choice. She wonder who Yuu has in his medallion........ surely not Miwa-san. Naw, impossible.

Back in the locket room Miki accidentally overhears a conversation between Miwa and Yuu. Miwa asks Yuu if he's ready yet. Yuu tells him "no" and that this is enough for him for right now. Aaaack, Miki realizes that this sounds just like the show from last night. Is it really true about Miwa and Yuu!

Miki is ready for the marathon. There's a determined look on her face as she encounters Miwa-san and challenges him to a race during the marathon. He's just a little surprised especially since there are different courses - the women's and the men's. Miki tells him she'll run the men's course and if she wins he's to keep his hands OFF Yuu! He thinks
for a second then says "You mean if I win, I can touch Yuu? It's a deal!" and he runs off. Miki realizes she just made a big mistake. But, she's going to win this even if she dies in the process.

The race is on and Miki and Miwa are out in the lead. They challenge each other running right away. Miwa is surprised by Miki's speed. Miki reminds him not to take her lightly and tells him that he surprises her too. Miwa tells her that before becoming student body president he was in basketball club. She reminds him that, even so, he'll be in trouble if he overworks himself. This irritates him enough to tell her that he's going to be serious now. He takes off with Miki trying fairly successfully to keep up...but soon she realizes she's just dying. Miwa tells her she looks pale and should give up. She snaps back that she's just fine and that he
should quit. With that, Miki takes off with a "I'm outta here"! Miwa pursues.

Later, Miwa and Miki, are far in front of the pack. They're not running anymore but walking side by side with saggy faces. Miwa thinks to himself that he had this marathon all planned out on how he was going to run it, and that it's Koishikawa's (Miki’s) fault that things aren't going
according to plan. He decides he's really going to razz her now. He turns and tells her that he and Yuu have a relationship that she can't even touch. This infuriates her. She yells "Why does Yuu have to chase a man....!" She runs into a pole and knocks herself out.

In the nurse’s office, Meiko is relieved when Miki comes to. She leaves to tell the teacher that Miki is recovering. Yuu enters. He tells her that he heard she was running the men's course with Satoshi (Miwa) and asks her why. She doesn't really answer that one.

He tells her that Satoshi carried her over to the supervisor and that she should thank him. Miki's makes a noise but doesn't answer him.
Suddenly, she remembers. She and Yuu experienced this before ....
being in alone in the nurses office and what happened (see MB#1). She turns so he can't see her blushing. She's sure if he see her face, he'll know what she's thinking. Suddenly Yuu says "Oh, now I remember." Miki with her head facing away from him asks him "what?". He tells her he knows she remembers and wonders out loud if he should do that again. Yuu stuns Miki
by putting his leg on the bed and starts to maneuver himself into position... when Miwa walks in.

Miwa asks him what he'd have done if it would've been a teacher that came in instead of him. Yuu answers that they were just kidding around. Miki thinks "Kidding.... Around... What kind of guy is he?!"

Miwa tells Miki that he's glad she doing better. Miki decides maybe he's not such a bad guy after all and apologizes to him. Miwa changes gears and tells her that "Yeah, she was so heavy, that she nearly broke his arms". Miki mentally takes back her apology. Miwa goes on to remind her of their deal. She didn't finish the race, he did. He puts his hand on Yuu's shoulder and maneuvers him towards the door saying "Well Yuu, we now have your relative's permission. Let's go." Yuu isn't too anxious to leave yet. Miwa tells him "It's all right, she's strong".

Outside Yuu is walking beside Miwa rather sullenly. Miwa tells Yuu that Yuu was right about her. She's uncomplicated and a lot of fun to tease. Yuu still looks sullen. Miwa asks Yuu if he has a problem with it. Does he think he's the only one who can tease her?" Yuu wanly says "Not really". Miwa turns and grins widely. Yuu whips around and yells "I SAID "NOT REALLY". STOP GRINNING AT ME!!!!"
