I do not own Fruits Basket.

-Letting you go-

Dear Kyou-kun,

Kyou-kun. I saw you one day talking with Tohru-kun. I was able to see your eyes soft and peaceful. I was most definitely jealous. I love you, Kyou-kun, and I had known you for practically all my life, yet I had never seen those eyes of yours. I feel like a blind folded boar that had never truly seen you until now.

Kyou-kun, do you hate me? I don't think you hate me, but neither do I think that you love me the way I want you to. You love me as a cousin, right? But, you know what? My love for you, Kyou-kun, is greater than my love for my other cousins.

But, as everyone knows, I have a hard time showing that. I punch you, I kick you, and I throw things at you. Are they that painful Kyou-kun? Always, I tell myself, 'Don't hurt Kyou-kun this time!' but I can never resist. I get excited and happy. Ok, maybe that's an understatement. I get hyper, very hyper, when I see you. Maybe it's because I love you. When you love someone, just seeing that person can cheer you up... or so I think.

Also, when I hit you, I touch you, right? I doubt you're going to allow me to touch your face without physical violence. Heh... It's not the best way to touch the person you love, but it kind of works. Besides, I never get tired when I'm running after you or just simply hitting you. If it's for you, Kyou-kun, I can run around the world. I'll never get tired just because it's for you.

That is how much I love you, Kyou-kun. But I know, as a juninshi, that I can never give you the comfort you need. I didn't go after you the day you revealed yourself to Tohru-kun. I knew that I wouldn't be any help; maybe I'll be more of a nuisance than help. The juninshi need comfort from someone who isn't one of them. That way, they feel more accepted and protected.

I'm sorry for not being able to help you. I apologize for being a thorn in your rose stem. I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry, Kyou-kun. As my last ounce of love, I give you one thing. Your freedom. After all, if I truly love you, I'd be happy just watching you smile with Tohru-kun, right? If I truly loved you, I would be overjoyed just to hear that you're happy, right? Because I love you, I'll let you go. I'll let you be with the one you truly love without being tied down to stupid old me.

Kyou-kun. I love you. I will always love you. Please, be happy. Show me that, for once, I had done something right. But mostly, please remember me. Not as someone who always gave you pain, although that's who I am, but as someone who loved you so much that she let you go. I wish for your forever happiness. I love you.

With All My Love and Happiness,

Sohma Kagura

-The End-

Loved it? Hated it? Thought it was ok? I thought it was ok. My first Fruits Basket fanfiction. I'm a big fan for Kagura and so I support Kyou/Kagura. But, I won't put what happens after this. That depends solely on you, the reader.
