A/N: LOL, this chapter is dedicated to kyo-obsessedru2 for reminding me through her energetic review that I still have a fanfiction to write and finish. Thanks for being so patient so I hope not to disappoint )! Also, take note, that when Uo finishes her yearbook entry to Tohru, Momiji makes a little interruption at the very last line so don't worry about it :)!
Tohru-kun!
Isn't it awesome how we're finally graduating from high school? My goodness, I thought I would NEVER make it out a live if it wasn't for you and Kyoko to back me up all the time. Even when Kyoko was never there, you were the one who always stood by my side regardless if I was responsible for whatever shit I did to hurt you or someone else. How can I start my five-page long yearbook entry?
Well, first of all, I can recall that very day when we first met. HA, that was incredibly hilarious to ever think of you as a yankee thug now that I think about it. I still wonder how I ever even came up of an image of you as a thug when you're so cute and sweet! But you have to know that you are a beautiful, wonderful girl and that you are the best friend anyone can ever imagine. Now, don't even try to write me off pretending that you're really not THAT great, psht.
If you ever knew all of the profound things you brought into life and changed it for the better, you would probably cry yourself. When I was one of those stupid kids, I always thought I was above those fairy tale school lives and that I never needed it but that's got to suck now that I 'sunk' to the fairy tale level. My life has been a fairy tale since I met you and then Hanajima. It's incredibly amazing and what even surprises me most to this day was that you didn't even do it on purpose. When I met your mother, Kyoko, I had to admit I was so thankful she was not who I thought she was because if she was, where would I be today? Dead, obviously...now there is that side of me that still lingers but it's repressible now all thanks to you and your mother.
To me, Kyoko-san was the mother I never had and I'm so grateful she was as long as she was because it allows us to cherish her memory even more. As we went through high school—I'm trying to think here, that Momiji kid is bugging me—I was even happier than I was when I was with you and Kyoko. It must be the Sohma magic.
Oh, I know you pretend you don't know but I know you do. Hana and I love to play around all the time about how we'll have to give you to one of those hot Sohma guys one day. It's easier because you're so obvious—I'm laughing here. You're growing to grow up into a beautiful woman like Kyoko—as a mother figure, heaven forbid another 'Red Butterfly' when you're already so awesome as a flower girl.
But if I have any last words that I DEMAND you to live by (I say demand because I know you won't take "wish"), say it. Don't pretend you don't know what I mean because if you don't you're going to lose him forever. There's so little time left (like three days, I know) and you have lived with them for so long. Don't you ever dare be a self-sacrificing martyr because I know it every time you see him that you want to say something and before our high school lives are over, SAY IT.
Ever since the day Kyoko left us, I prayed to God (as if I was a Catholic) for your happiness. Don't carry the burden by yourself and DON'T EVER THINK you're doing me or Hanajima a favor by not involving us. We WANT to be involved so don't cut us out of the picture. I'm always here for you because we rescued each other more times than I count throughout the past several years and there's no reason for you to sigh anymore.
Lastly, you need to know that on the day I stepped into yours and Kyoko's apartment, you saved me from a dark tunnel of hell that I thought I could never escape from. If you were rope, you were the strongest, most supportive piece of shit there is to lift me out and now it's my turn to help you out.
Ha, I wrote longer entries than they did )! Of course, they can't. We've been friends so much longer and so much closer. Don't panic about not ever seeing Hana or me again because we'll always be in your sight no matter where you are. I love you so much and I think these words aren't even the slightest fraction of how much you mean to me. You grow up and make Kyoko and me proud. Always.
Your best friend,
Arisa Uotani
P.S. You are—MOMIJI HERE! beautiful. Don't believe anyone who says you're not.
