After the most hilarious openingsscene ever of Souma Haru, the cow, we go to Kyou, Yuki and Tohru. And those two still bicker and don’t get along very well. Tohru had wished for them to be more like each other, but .. no, it wasn’t working. The almost fight between them was TOO funny, btw. I’ve laughed like hell when I saw it for the first time, and I was so happy that it can still be so funny. I’ve seen Fruits Basket I think 5 times already, and it is and stays my favourite anime.

But, Yuki has a cold. Appearently, a cold is very serious. Anyway, certainly in the world of Tohru. Because I’m reading the manga as well, I know why she is so overprotecting about it. It’s Tohru’s father, Katsuya. He died because of the complications of a cold when Tohru was little. She knows that colds can be fatal, and who wants to lose her father for that reason? And: don’t forget that Yuki has a weak bronchi. And add the fact that Yuki transforms when he is weak or when he is hugged, so he has to be careful. Tohru suggested that he stayed at home the next day, but well. They have a long distance run.

A LONG DISTANCE RUN!?! (check out the melody as well, that makes it perfectly.^^)
And no, Yuki can’t run away from it anymore. They are rivals and for once and for all, they are going to see who is faster. It’s a ridiculious thing, but well.^^
The next day Tohru is still worried, Uo doesn’t show up, Hana can only run three meters and then she goes challenging everyone to play a cardgame^^, and of course: Yuki and Kyou running like madness. TOO funny. ^^

Tohru is running as well, but she sees a person with white hair, so she thinks that it’s an eldery person that needs help. It’s Hatsuharu (Haru). He asks for direction to the Souma House. Because let’s face it, that guy can even get lost in his own house. He is a dazzled, dreamily guy, and he is really relaxt. With his hair you can already see he is a cow, and that is the relaxed side of the cow. That cow is nice. I like that cow too. But before we are about to discuss what kind of cows there are on this planet, let me continue to review this further.
‘He is coming’ Haru makes the situation even more hilarious, because he ties a rope down the road, and pulls it the moment Kyou runs by. For the effect, use your imagination.^^
Haru has spent three days finding Kyou, because he wants a fight with him. He was going to challenge him with the New Year, but someone skipped it. Muahahaa. Yuki calls it dangerous and wants to Kyou fight Haru. Because.. otherwhise…

The Black Haru comes by. Haru is a rather dazzled guy, but when he explodes, no one can stop it. Let’s face it, he is even WORSE as Kagura.^^

The reaction of Tohru is just wonderfull. And that’s the reason that I’m afraid of cows. Just watch this and you know. Haru is just scary, he is annoying, he attacks you, he insults you, he makes a fool out of you. He comes too close. I would be scared to death when I would find myself in a room with the Black Haru. This is also some related with my fear of cows. If they suddenly attack me or something. I know it sounds crazy, but see it, and you know!

But, the fun stopped the minute that Yuki got an attack and fainted. Because they didn’t know what to do, Haru transformed in a cow so they could go to Shigure without any problem. Well, except that it can draw attention.^^
At home, they’ve put Yuki in bed and Shigure has some trouble holding his laugh.^^

Haru talks a bit about himself and what happened to him. He hated Yuki, but now he loves him. I don’t know how I should see that. But because Yuki is the mouse, Haru took him as an enemy. He felt being mocked, and that caused the Black Haru. He couldn’t stop his anger, so he realised everything in studying the material arts. But that didn’t help too. Untill the day he actually met Yuki. He felt so angry, that he blurted everything out. That the cow was stupid, because of the mouse and so on. Yuki reacted so nice, if he really was stupid. Haru isn’t stupid, he is just a little dazzled.
Yuki wakes up, Tohru tries calling him with his real name, and he transformed in shame.^^ It was too cute, once again.
