I DO NOT own fruits basket. But I should. They should give it to me for Christmas.
It's been 2 years since the Sohma family curse has been broken by the ever-optimistic Tohru Honda. Great for everyone, right? Maybe. Surprise, Surprise, Kyo and Tohru eventually hooked up. But, after she broke the curse, Tohru just lost feelings for Kyo. She said, "The only reason I ever loved you was because you were the cat. I'm sorry."
That's all. That's all she said. Now, Tohru Honda is not an evil conniving bitch. She did break up with Kyo with emotion. (A.K.A. tears streaming down her cheeks, lots of emotion, the usual Tohru-chic.) Kyo was heartbroken, and he has turned himself into a little emo-cat. (Not literally, but he's just more of a jackass than usual, if that's possible.)
Tohru isn't sure who her heart belongs, to. If anyone. Maybe she should just become a nun...
TOHRU
She walks down the street, trying to seem confident, reminding herself every second not to burst into tears. Her life just seems so…empty. Tohru spots a carnival nearby, and decides to go in. Every night, she regrets breaking up with Kyo. Now, he's happy, perhaps even engaged, to Kagura. That bitch. Tohru helps herself to some cotton candy, and finally lowers herself into going to get her fortune told. She walks inside the heavily perfumed tent. She plops her self into the chair opposite of the fortune teller.
"I sense someone in need…" the fortune teller says vaguely. "If only I could have 14 dollars…then I could tell who…" Tohru gets the hint and pulls out a ten and 4 ones.
"Ah, yes…Tohru Honda…you are looking for love…it is closer than you think…much, much closer…I see two figures…on more mysterious…the other unpleasant…The mysterious one is for you, Tohru…go…Find your lover!"
And with that, the fortune-teller disappears into a cloud of smoke. Tohru just sits there vacantly and eventually walks out. It's Saturday, but all of the Sohmas have gone to the main house, so Tohru is alone. She thinks to herself: Maybe I can go to uo's or Hana's. Maybe I won't feel so lonely. She calls Uo, but no one answers. She then calls Hana, praying that someone will pick up. She feels that if she has to spend another night alone, she will go crazy. Thankfully, someone picks up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Hana! It's me, Tohru."
"Oh, hi. What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing…"
"I'm not stupid, Tohru. I can sense it. What's bothering you?"
"It's just that I've felt so lonely since I've broken up with Kyo."
"Tohru. You have me. You can come over, if you want."
"Oh, that would be great!"
"Okay I'll see you in a bit."
Tohru smiles to herself, happy that she wont be alone all night.
