another rather short chapter that I happen to think would make a fine chapter to lead up to my final ending.
disclamation: I do not own Fruits Basket in any way, shape, or form. all the rights of ownership in the anime are reserved for the folks from the Funimation Anime Company down in Southern California in regards to the US dubbing and the staff over at TV Tokyo regarding the original Japanese dubbing. all of the manga's ownership rights are reserved solely for Natsuki Takaya-sensei.
the only thing(s) from this series that i truly own are 'Fruits Basket' fanfictions such as this one right here which i have written along with my own 'Fruits Basket' OC's, like Hikari.
Hikari: I see, you're really willing to surrender your hope for the idea that you couldn't deserve the girl you love the most in the world any less, even if you were to actually try to be less fit to be with her. You really, truly believe that you're not at all fit to father this girl's children. I must say, of all the Sohmas with issues in self-confidence, you have to be the least confident of them all. I wish you well in your relationship with Tohruko Honda going from here. Just don't fall back on old methods and blame Yuki for when your own lack of confidence in all that you do and have already done for Tohruko finally sends the poor girl to an early grave.
Kyo wasn't sold on Hikari's warning of the future that would come if he continued feeling as undeserving of Tohru as he did. Hikari could see that fact in the way Kyo got the cruel smirk back onto his face and chuckled.
Kyo: I think you mean if my lack of confidence is what leads to an early death for Tohru. Face it, Hikari. I'm nothing to her, I'm nothing to anyone whatsoever, always have been, always will be. Even Master took me in just to say, 'Sorry for the way you're treated.' It's not like anyone is capable of actually loving me. No one will ever love me enough to make me feel hopeful again in any way possible.
Hikari: With an attitude like that, I'm afraid that no one's ever gonna be capable of favoring you even as a cursed zodiac Sohma. I'd also have to say that no one is capable of favoring you even as a human being.
Kyo: Yeah, right. Like I even am a human, at all. I'm about as much of a human as you are a living being.
Hikari suddenly felt offended by this and started to tear up in sadness. She slapped Kyo's face in hurt retaliation for his comment.
Hikari: Whether I'm a live human or the immortal guardian of the zodiac curse, I'm still a living being, and so are you, Kyo, no matter what you think of yourself.
