LOVE MODE 1-Shimizu Yuki Translated by Grace Anderson megchan@home.com ***** PART 2 ***** Izumi: Why do you keep coming here for no reason anyway!? Izumi's Mom: Izumi! How rude. You shouldn't speak that way to someone who helped you out! Izumi: Helped me!? Izumi's Mom: He brought you back here when you fainted, didn't he!? Izumi: That was...! Takamiya: It's all right, don't worry about it. Izumi's Mom: I'm sorry. [What on earth doesn't he like anyway...] Izumi: {Of...of course I don't like him! He raped me!!} ----- Izumi: About halfway through Spring break I got a call from my friend Konno saying "I'll introduce you to a beautiful older woman." I was thrilled, but when I got there this is who appeared, Takamiya Katsura! I should have just gone home then, but I ended up spending all day with him and the next thing I knew I was on the bed! It turns that because of the rose I happened to pick up, I was mistaken for a guy from a (gay!) date club and raped! And then I was told "I've really fallen in love with you." It would be strange if I were calm about this! Takamiya: Izumi. ----- Takamiya: Do you want to come over? The view at night is better than that other hotel. [It is on the top floor, after all.] Izumi: There's no way I'm going! [I'd rather die than go!] Takamiya: ...So you still haven't forgiven me? Izumi: Of course, you idiot!! ----- Izumi: Ugh! Just thinking about it makes me mad!! Hey, Konno! I'm not going home until school starts up again, OK. [All right, go!] Izumi: I'm taking you up on your offer to make up for what happened! [You're partially responsible anyway.] Konno: Yeah? That's fine with me. I'm not going to be home for a while anyway. Izumi: What? You're leaving!? Konno: I'm going on vacation with my girlfriend. So I'll let you have the key. Have fun. Bye. ----- Izumi: Arg! What's up with everybody!? Izumi: {C...could this be a porno flick!?} Captions: Getting everything in order. ----- Izumi: {Now for some fun!} Onscreen Caption: Autonomous regulation. Video: Now it's time for the enema. I've got two big fat ones today! Hey, hurry up and turn around and get down on your hands and knees! Izumi: {Is this...one of those so-called scatalogical ones!?} [Ew...gross...] ----- Izumi: This one, too! And this one! Screen: A storm of autonomous regulation. Izumi: And this! And this! Izumi: {Why're they all cult ones!?} Videos (top left to bottom right): "High School Girls' Screams! Feces, Vomit and Worms Part II" (Scatalogical) "True Stories: Confined for 7 Days - From Lolita to Married Women" (SM & Fist Fuck) "The Bondage Diary of Tears" (SM) "Eat My Shit!" (Scatalogical) "Cum Through Violence! III" (Grotesque Erotica, Rape, Violence) Izumi: {Konno...I've beginning to doubt your taste.} [I can never eat curry or napolitain again...] Video: A... Oh... ...Oh... Ow... A... Oh... Ha... A, A...Oh! Oh! Izumi: Finally here's something decent... [Ah...a western one with no mosaics seems normal compared to those...] ----- Video: A.. Oh.. O...h... A... Aa...! Izumi: {...Huh?} Video: No... A... Ha... Ah... Oh... Oh! Izumi: {No way...} Izumi: {I can't get it up...} Comment: Wipe your bloody nose... ----- Izumi: {Why...?} {I'm trying so hard.} {So why can't I get it up...?} [Even with the blonde and no mosaic...] Izumi: {It couldn't be.} Izumi: {It couldn't be.} {Did I turn into a homo!?} ----- Izumi: {This is the fastest way to find out.} {If I watch it and...I... Then I'm a homo.} {If nothing happens then at least I'll have that peace of mind.} {..Ooh, but it's scary.} {No, I can't turn back now!} {All right, here I go!} ----- Izumi: {I couldn't even watch it all...} Man: Hey, are you all right? Izumi: I...I'm fine... {Oh no, the bathroom's the most dangerous place.} Man: Don't leave until you've got everything out that needs to get out. Izumi: {This isn't good.} No, I'm all right. ----- Man: If you can't do it alone then how about we give you a hand? Izumi: Let go of me...! ----- Takamiya: There'll be no view tonight. {Who's there?} Hello? Takamiya: Izumi!? ----- Takamiya: {He's all beat up...what could have happened?} Takamiya: Did you warm up with that shower? I've sent your clothes out to be cleaned, they should be ready in the morning. [Here's your tea.] ----- Takamiya: It's pretty late, do you want to just stay here tonight? There's another bed in the other room, so you can stay there if you want... [I'd rather we slept together, but...] Izumi: ...eep...me. Takamiya: What? Izumi: Sleep with me... Takamiya: ...Seriously? ----- Takamiya: Izumi. Stick out your tongue. Izumi: Ooh... ----- Izumi: O...ooh. Takamiya: Izumi? Izumi: It's all your fault!!! ----- Izumi: Waaah!! Takamiya: Izumi? [My chin hurts...] What's wrong? Calm down... Izumi: I...I...I'm sure... I've become a homo! Waah! Takamiya: ...You can't get an erection? ----- Izumi: Yeah... No matter what kind of hard core stuff I watch, I don't respond at all... I've seen on TV where a new half* says they were raped and after that realized they liked men... Takamiya: [I don't think that's quite the same...] Izumi: So then I thought if I saw something a homo would like I'd know for sure... So I went to the Rose Theatre, but... In the bathroom there...I...well... I was attacked by these two guys... Takamiya: What...did you say...? ----- Izumi: It was really a close call... There was a big fight and my clothes were all torn up! Well, nothing happened, so I'm thankful for that, but... [It was all out of the blue, that really makes me mad!] Izumi: What's wrong? Takamiya: So they didn't rape you!? Izumi: Yeah. ...What? What is it? Takamiya: I thought for sure they'd raped you! Don't surprise me like that... Takamiya: ...So? You were so against coming to my place, what made you change your mind? ----- Izumi: ...Well, I wanted to make sure... You're a homo... Takamiya: [Enough with the homo...] Izumi: I... What should I do? {What will make me better...?} Takamiya: {I can't believe this... I knew something must have happened, but...} ----- Takamiya: You're young, these things happen. Don't worry about it. I bet if you have a good night's sleep you'll find you're back to normal in the morning, all right? Don't worry! ----- Izumi: {It's all right} {Normally I wouldn't let him get away with this.} {But his arms feel so gentle.} {I'll just stay like this for a while.} ----- Izumi: Mmm... Izumi: I'm back to normal! Thank goodness... Takamiya: Ha, ha. Good morning, Izumi. ----- Takamiya: See, it's just like I said, isn't it? Izumi: {Ugh, for a second there I thought he was cool.} Takamiya: But it's too bad really. If you'd stayed that way, I would have licked you until you were better. Izumi: I'm not a homo!!! ----- Takamiya: And you were so cute last night. Izumi: Yesterday is yesterday! Today is today! [You can't bring it back!] Izumi: At any rate, I wasn't myself last night, OK!? Just forget anything that happened yesterday! Takamiya: All right, all right. But at this rate it looks like you won't be forgiving me for a while yet. ----- Izumi: I hate homos. Izumi: But if it's you, I don't really mind if you're gay. Takamiya: Izumi... Izumi: {After all, he's really a nice person...} {If only for those arms last night...} Izumi: I guess I have no choice, I forgive you. ----- Izumi: But don't think you can try and put the moves on me or anything. I... Takamiya: I love you. Izumi: You didn't even let me finish...! Izumi: You can just go to hell!!! Narrator: He's punched and he's kicked. But keep trying Takamiya, there's still hope. ----- Translator's Notes: *New half is a term used to mean guys who dress as women and have breasts, but haven't had the full operation. I'm not sure of the term (if there is one) in English.
