Author's Note Sorry I haven't updated in a long time, I didn't know what to write… -- that's not a very good excuse… how about I was busy…? Jk! I have no idea what I was going to put, but I guess this just poured out.

Summary She was desperate for love. That was all that she had ever wanted and it was torn from her by Tohru… Will Kagura ever find solace in another person?

Disclaimers I don't own Fruits Basket, but if I did… I would make sure that Tohru got a better personality… sorry to all the Tohru lovers.

I'll Forget It All

Chapter Twelve

Shigure

Something was wrong with everyone this week. I didn't understand what, but since Kagura-chan came here everyone has been acting odd. Tohru was the first one I noticed. She's so easy to read. I knew that something was wrong when she sat quietly at dinner instead of chatting away as usual. Everything just seemed so quiet. Kagura hasn't been chasing Kyo around as much… well, she hasn't been chasing him around at all. Yuki is acting more distant than ever, he and Kyo haven't even fought during the whole week! Oh lord, what will happen next?

I rubbed my eyes with my hand; I had a bad head ache from trying to figure everything out. All I knew right now was that Yuki probably confessed to Tohru, but she's with Kyo. Kagura is jealous, but won't act on her emotions. She's to bottled up that I think she might explode.

Where do I fit into all this drama?

I'm just the house owner. Just the "father" figure in this story.

The party is tonight and I'll see Mii-san, I wonder if she is excited to see me? Hmm… probably is! I whistled slightly trying to pass the time away. How long does it take for all of them to dress up? We're just going to the mall… or better yet, we'll go to Aya's shop!

I smiled mischievously; I can't wait to see Kagura-chan and Tohru in his dresses!

Kagura

I looked down at the letter in my hand. It was the invitation for the exchange student program. They had already mailed the plane ticket along with my acceptance letter. I didn't know why I applied. I'll probably not go anyways, so why did I send for it? I guess just so I could have the comfort of knowing that I have an exit. The plane ticket was good only for two days from now. I looked over at my small luggage I had, why did I pack them? Was I really considering going? But, I couldn't leave Kyo!

Carefully placing the letter and ticket into my purse, I walked out the room as if nothing threatened to tear me away from Kyo.

I walked down the stairs and into the living room. No one was there, so I figured that they were still changing. Suddenly, I could hear shouting and stomping down the stairs. It was Kyo and Yuki. They were fighting over something again.

"…She doesn't care what happens!"

"How can you say that!"

I wonder what they're talking about. I blinked and remembered, that is the first time I have ever heard Yuki shout. I know that they fight a lot, but normally Yuki is just quiet, or am I never around when he is shouting. The latter is probably right.

"I don't want her around…"

"Why?"

Everything was suddenly solemn. It was a sudden change for me.

"She makes me feel guilty…"

"Maybe because you are."

"I didn't do anything to convince her that I like her!"

"But, you never did anything to deny it. You only pushed her away not saying anything."

They're talking about me. I wonder why? What happened?

"Rat-boy, why the sudden interest on this?"

"I don't know, baka neko…"

Sudden interest? What's going on here? I know I shouldn't be listening to their conversation, but I just had to know what Kyo was saying about me.

"Kagura is okay, she just doesn't understand."

I smile sadly. He will never know how much I really understand. I get up and walk into the other room, not wanting to hear anymore. Shigure was there talking with Hatori. Hatori was the first to acknowledge my presence with a small nod. I smile as brightly as I could to him.

Shigure just turned and smiled at me. Nothing was said, there was just a small moment of silence till Tohru came bouncing in with her adorable laugh. I felt my smile falter, but I still held on to it. I was unwilling to admit my pain to any one, especially Tohru. She didn't need to know this. She didn't need to hear it and let it damper her life. She deserved happiness after all she has been through.

Yuki

I don't know why I was suddenly interested with Kagura and Kyo's relationship. Normally I would just dismiss her without another thought, but now it's different. Now I can't just ignore her. I have to speak with her, I have to talk to her. I just want to make her smile once more. In a lot of ways, she reminds me of Tohru, but it's unfair to think of another when I'm with her.

My mind drifts to the moment we spent on the roof. She was so broken and lonely, and so was I. I guess that's how things workout.

As human beings we will always take the chances of fleeting happiness when we can. We cannot escape the fact that all we strive for is our own happiness, but Tohru seems to have passed that. She seems to have found a new meaning in life than just for ourselves. She seems to have found happiness in the happiness of others. Her selflessness gave her happiness in helping everyone around her when no one would ever help. Tohru's loveliness is so obvious that no one could ever ignore it.
