Konnichi wa, minna-san! Thanks to all of you who are reading! And thanks
for your wonderful, kind comments! Well, to start off, I'll explain what
this is. Sorry, it's not an official chapter, but more like a commentary.
Based on how many reviews I get, I'll stick one in every now and then.
It's sort of just some comments and also a Q&A session regarding "'And
Then' for 'Fruits Basket'." Before we begin, may I please ask (beg is more
like it) you wonderful readers to get some publicity out for my story?
That would be terrific! Okay, let's begin then.
Coolloudmouth 813 says: Um. Just wondering. but are you a cat lover, or rat lover. Or are you a dog-lover, like my mom?...
Yuriko: Well, I like all three to tell the truth, though I've never owned a rat. And a lot of people have been asking whether or not this story will be a Yukiru—and I assume this means a Yuki/Tohru fic. Well, in answer to that question—I'm not going to tell you! Bwahahahaha! I will however say that the ending is going to be great and also..........that it's ALREADY WRITTEN. Tohru's fate is decided (and if I may say so, it is uber-kawaii). So, I guess you could say this is an open-middled story. ^_^
Kate asks: Also, would Rin ever be in a gang, maybe she'd know Uo?!
Yuriko: Mmmmm.........I haven't really considered Rin as a past or future gang member, though I think it would be rather interesting (and entertaining) if she and Uo ever came to blows. I think Rin's personality is a little too anti-social to fit in well with a gang, though.
Note to YingFa19: Your posts amuse me. ^_^
Note to Chiharu: Gee, thanks. There is no spacing problem when I write these chapters. Somehow ff.net screws it up. I can usually fix it, but if I can't, just bear with me and I'll repost the chapter with the appropriate spacing.

Yuriko: It was a while ago that I think I read one of those stories. I think it was "Tears of an Angel." If memory serves me correctly, Tohru was an angel of death sent by Akito to kill her friends. I hope I've got the right story. I'm sorry if I forgot to write a review. If I did, let me know, and I'll fix it.
Note to the Populace in General: A lot of people have said that this story is a lot like a second season to Fruits Basket, and I take that as a compliment. I really wish they'd made more of it, especially considering the manga is still coming out. I got a chance to see some of the original manga the other day, the first few volumes, and it's pretty much the exact same thing as the anime. If a second season of Fruits Basket ever comes out, I will be ready with my credit card/cash to get it. My pocket won't be too happy about it though.....*w* Wouldn't it be cool if I could make this story into a second season of Furuba, though? I've been really interested in directing anime lately.........
Kay, well that's all for now. I hope to do this again soon. But that will depend on you guys. Hmmmm.........perhaps I should motivate you all somehow. How about a sneak peek? (scroll down a ways if you want to read—if you want to be surprised, then just x-out.) Ja ne!
"You don't know," he said, voice pained. Beads of rain ran down tendrils of his hair, and his damp clothes clung to him. He couldn't tell if the prickling sensation overcoming him was the heat of his body, or the itch of the rainwater on his skin. The rainfall intensified around them, pounding on the roof of the pavilion overhead, running in broken sheets to the glistening pavement. The rolling thunder continued to boom, becoming louder and deeper as it floated by. The park was empty; the storm had chased everyone away. Everyone except for them. They were alone. "I've never felt this way about anyone. You.........you don't know.........just how much you mean to me........."
"I........." Tohru uttered, wide-eyed. Whatever she had been about to say was cut off, and all thought was dashed away as the young man leaned forward and without hesitation, kissed her longingly on the lips.
Yuriko: Hehe, RAFO, my friends.
