Spoilers for Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3: Kurenai no Tsuki.

Starts out with Nozomi at school. She hears a voice, and it's Masaomi's voice. She repeats his name, and wakes up. Masaomi is right there. And so is everyone else! When I saw everyone, I blushed so bad and HAD TO PAUSE TO GIGGLE AT THE PRETTY. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. And! Yuzuru! He tickles my heart, SOMETHING FIERCE. Then, opening credits! SO PRETTY. ...TOOO PRETTY. Except that should be Yuzuru on the end of that hand! Ummmm. They're in a forest, heading to a shrine. When Atsumori and Masaomi came through the forest, THEY LOOKED SO COOL. They were checking out to see if the river was crossable. Hakuryuu stops them soon and tells them someone approaches. It's someone from Kurou's past; they used to play together. Hakuryuu says he is impure: he is an onryou. Besides the fact that battles are really really fun in the game, THIS BATTLE SCENE WAS SO COOLOMG. Except, you know, the part Kurou was sad :(((((( Saku and Nozomi seal him. I agree with Masaomi: THE SEALING WAS SO COOL. Kurou is angsty and Masaomi comforts him, because Kaeri Naifu has also lost men. SHHH. Oh. OH, I see where the Kurou/Masaomi come from now. ...I'm still not a fan, sorry :X It's the Heike's doing. Nozomi says she cannot forgive them. HUGS TO ATSUMORI. Masaomi soon has to leave again. He is intriguing! :D Later, they are back where they started; saying that the Bettou (head of the shrine) wasn't there. Hinoe pops out of nowhere and says he has the Bettou's answer. And this is why: Benkei springs another surprise on them: WHAT?! I didn't know this. JEEZ, GET WITH THE PROGRAM! NO WONDER THE TENSION. Anyway, it comes as a big shocker. Hehehe, oh Hinoe. You = love. Hinoe says that they won't side with either of them. Nozomi says "please?": HEHE ILU HINOE. The conversation turns to Kaeri Naifu. I AM RATHER HORRIBLE: I totally giggled at the irony when Nozomi asked Atsumori if he knew who Kaeri Naifu was. OH ATSUMORI *hugs* Later that night, Benkei and Nozomi have a long talk about why they're fighting. ...I'm in LOVE~ They meet up with Masaomi in a small village: (not coincidentally; they arranged this beforehand) ARGH, MASAOMI + KIDS = MY HEART AFLUTTER The boys wash up. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH, YUZURU WITHOUT GLASSES. Haha, that whole scene was pure fanservice. The girls wanted to wash up too, and asked Hakuryuu to leave. He didn't know why. Aww, Hakuryuu. YOU'RE SO CUTE. Nozomi mentions that Saku is very level headed, and Saku says it's because of Kokuryuu. POOR SAKUUU! I didn't know this either! Nozomi goes to find Masaomi for dinner and sees this: YEAH, NOZOMI, THAT WAS MY REACTION TOO. She runs into Yuzuru on the way back. OH YUZURU, I MELT FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. *GLOMPS* During dinner, the village is attacked by bandits, and some people are murdered. ...Wow, this is so dark D: The hachiyou help out in anyway they can. SENSEI SAYS: "Leave the girl or leave your life. Choose." YOU ARE SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. When the deed is done, and the remaining bandits are told to leave and never come back, Masaomi leaves the party again. OKAY, MASAOMI, I FORGIVE YOU FOR LEAVING IF YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE THAT COOL. The team is called to see Masako, and she tells them that a treaty as been called, but it's just a hoax. They're actually going to attack. OMG. THESE ARE BAD FLASHBACKS I'M HAVING OF DEATH, DEATH AND MORE DEATH. Nozomi and Kurou get into a fight over whether or not this is such a good idea. Atsumori overhears: Atsumori! :DDDDD They go to attack the Heike camp, and what? They were expecting them?! And who do they see at the front of the camp but their own Benkei?! OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Lots of fighting. Nozomi is back-attacked, and Yuzuru saves the day her. OH MY GOD YUZURU. That was unbelievably cool. Kurou confronts Benkei. :((((((((((( Kaeri Naifu appears! It's Masaomi?!?! OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I knew this, but STILL, THE EMOTIONS Tomomori attacks Nozomi, and she trips. Sensei saves the day her. OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD No cap, because I didn't want to take it, but Sensei dies. It was rather violent and very emotional, and I probably would've cried too much, so no. I didn't take one of Nozomi crying either, because then I definitely would've. Here's everyone else's reaction: My reaction? "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD *CLUTCHES AT PILLOW*" Um yeah, I didn't want to take screencaps of this either, but everyone else dies due to Koremori's trap. It was also rather violent and emotional (death by fire DD':) so, YEAH, definitely not. Anyway, here's Nozomi's reaction: :'( I HUG YOU NOZOMI. Blahblah, Hakuryuu gives Nozomi the last scale and she goes home, wanting to change their fate. So she comes back, and it's as if she just woke up from her dream. She sees Masaomi and asks where everyone else is. He says they're in the garden. She sees them, and is relieved. HUG HIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I would've. Nozomi demands to speak with Masaomi, alone. The boys are worried she picked him! She confronts him about being Kaeri Naifu, she says she's part of the Genji. He says they must part here. She turns around, and slips; Masaomi catches her. YAY MASAOMI HUG Coming back to the camp, she catches Benkei leaving. BENKEI: TRIPLE AGENT. Later, they go see Masako again. She tells them (again) it is a hoax. Nozomi tries to stop the attack, but is pulled away by Kagetoki. She runs away, and Atsumori finds her. OMG ATSUMORI. I didn't know this. Nozomi ends up saying that she'll go in alone and defeat Masaomi. AND IT ENDS THERE. ...I KNOW! WHAT?!?!

I apologize for the lack of (insert your favourite character here). I tried to be fair, I really did. It was rather Benkei and Masaomi heavy, so there's a lot of them, so yay?
There wasn't very much Kagetoki AT ALL, and that makes me sad, because I love Byakko.
There wasn't too much Hinoe either, which is very sad, because I do love my share of Hinoe, but I think I got a fair amount of everyone that was shown. Eh?
Requests for caps can be requested, sure :)
