The Scent of Sandalwood...
Episode 22
☥ She makes no appearance here either.
☥ Fukiko scares me more and more though.
Episode 23
☥ Kaoru looks back when Mariko is reading aloud in class and both seem to be aware of Nanako not being there.
☥ Kaoru and Rei likely met around the age fourteen or fifteen.
☥ Fukiko still scares me.
Episode 24
☥ She makes no appearance here either.
☥ Fukiko apparently is very... obsessed over Takehiko, and he never knew of her feelings.
☥ Takehiko was around sixteen when he met a twelve year old Fukiko; Rei and Kaoru would have likely been around eleven.
Episode 25
☥ Rei met Fukiko when she was ten and the other was eleven.
☥ Kaoru is funny, and still does not do well with home economics; sewing is not her strong suite either.
☥ She claims she is looking for a husband who can sew his own buttons.
☥ Kaoru burns it up on the basketball court and sees Rei walk by.
☥ She invites Rei to a basketball practice the following day.
☥ Rei tells her that Takehiko taught at Nanako's cram school and how he is not her "older brother" pen pal.
☥ Kaoru says it is not of her concerns or business; Rei implies otherwise.
☥ Oh, and I think the insane, obsessive streaks both Fukiko and Rei have is due to bloodline.
Episode 26
☥ Kaoru is first seen reading outside on a bench, she asks about Rei.
☥ She has an exhibition game that night in the auditorium at seven.
☥ Oh, and I think Fukiko and Rei are the types who require adrenaline rushes to feel alive.
Episode 27
☥ Kaoru appears by stopping a fight, or more like an attack from Mariko upon Aya.
☥ After another fight, Kaoru runs in when Aya freaks out, Mariko just repeats "I'm sorry" and runs out.
☥ I really love Mariko, she is my second favorite female character, I believe.
Episode 28
☥ Kaoru makes no real appearance, Mariko has a shining moment though... depending on your view, and Nanako finally does something cool!
☥ Also an important date, August eighth is the day at the beginning of the episode.
☥ Not too long after that, date is the anniversary of the death of Rei's mother.
☥ A while after that will be Fukiko's birthday will occur.
