Episode 2: Kiss Kouishou, Aitsuno Kimochiga Wakarani

Side effects of a kiss. I don't understand his feelings.

Miki is wondering what she should do because You kissed her. Miki goes down for breakfast and looks at You but wonders why his face isn't revealing anything about the kiss. When she sits at the table, she looks at You and asks him for some Apricot Jam. You says that they only have marmalade and he hands it to her. Miki complains that she doesn't like it because the skins are bitter. Then she thinks for awhile and tells You, "You're like Marmalade...You really are..You look good on the outside but in the inside you're full of tricks... Marmalade Boy, fits you perfectly..." Miki is proud that she made such a great comparison.

Then You shows her a jar of Mustard and says, "Yeah and you're like this...you're always so Hot and Spicy, a Mustard Girl..." After seeing her get mad, You tells her that he's leaving and Miki says " Hold on You, who's gonna clean up this mess?" but he was already gone and Miki fumes.

In class, Miki is still wondering what You meant about the kiss and she begins to stare at him. Meanwhile, across the room, Ginta stares at Miki and Meiko walks up behind him and asked him if he's worried about them but Ginta denies it.

Meanwhile, during lunch, everyone is watching the Lunch Time News and Miki is stuffing food in her face like a maniac. "I'm trying to forget about It. I'm really pissed!" She says. The Lunch Time News announcer is interviewing You and he asks what the story was between him and Koishikawa. You says that they are living together...

Miki pissed, barges in the news room and explained to the whole school that they are just going to school together because their parents are friends and that they just live in the same vacinity and that she had asked to help him because he's new.

You says he doesn't remember that and Miki yelling in his face says that she'll, "no way tell everyone why the two children of two couples who are strangers are living together" because everyone will think it's crazy. The announcer however tells the whole school that they are just "acting" as brother and sister but its really more intimate than that. Miki, mad as hell, slams the announcer's head on the desk and starts hitting him with a tray.

As she and Meiko walk down the hall, Miki tells her that she's embarassed going to school now because of You and what happened in the newsroom. Ginta comes by and says that You is good at sports and academically too and He's peeved about it. Ginta walks away. The other girls walking behind Miki and Meiko whispher that Ginta is jealous because You is stealing Miki away from him. Miki doesn't believe it because Ginta dumped her a long time ago. "Ginta can't be jealous...It's impossible."

~Miki remembers Jr.High~...She's watching Ginta play tennis and is instantly in love, She begins to talk to him and such and Meiko says that she should tell him how she feels. But Miki says that she doesn't have self confidence yet to tell him. Then, at the tennis court, Ginta gives Miki a Wimbelton pin that his cousin had given him. Miki asks if she can keep it and he says not to show it to anyone. She wonders if he likes her as well so she writes him a love letter, but to her surprise another boy was reading it aloud with some of the boys in class and she over hears Ginta saying that there is, "nothing going on between us." Miki starts to cry because Ginta had made her look like a clown. ~But the next day, Ginta had cut his hair short. "Maybe its his way of showing me that he's sorry..."

~Back in the present~ Miki says that the story belongs in the past and that before she wasn't able to talk to Ginta but now they are friends...

In her room, Miki is thinking about the kiss when Chiyako comes in to tell her that there is cake downstairs and that Youji, could help her with her homework. Miki agrees and is unaware that she is having such a good time with them. She quickly leaves the situation because she had promised herself not to get involved with the family.

The next day, Rumi asks Miki to hurry home after school and asks what she wants to eat...Miki told her not to bother cooking because she's poor at it. Rumi looked saddened as she watched Miki leave. After school, You asks if she would come with him to go shopping for Rumi's gift. She had forgotten about her mother's birthday. They buy Rumi earrings as she enjoys You's company... Later as Miki was unpacking more stuff in her room, she finds a book that belongs to You...But when she picked it up, a picture fell of You and a very cute girl. And Miki is shocked.
