well here is my dedication. hope you like?
KYO SOHMA
The first time Kyo meets Tohru is when Tohru accidentally finds out the Sohma family secret. At first, it seems that Kyo truly dislikes Tohru, treating her with his typical harsh and angry manner. After Tohru accidentally causes him to transform behind the school, Kyo angrily shouts "Stay out of my way! What's with you?! I can't even stand to look at you!" He later apologizes in the woods for what he said. The reason behind his reaction to her is revealed to be because of his feelings of guilt involving her mother's death. Standing near her, Kyo could have saved her from the oncoming car, but his fear of transforming in public made him hesitate and was thus unable to prevent her death. To cope with the guilt of believing he had been the reason Kyoko had died, Kyo pressed all of the blame onto Yuki, the hated Rat, in an attempt to ease his own burden. Likewise with Tohru, his temper was often short and he retaliated to her efforts of friendship by pushing her further and further away. However, just with the other members of the Sohma family, Kyo is drawn to Tohru by her kind and generous personality.
It eventually becomes apparent that Kyo's feelings have blossomed into love, something which both shames and terrifies him due to his believe that, as the Cat and the monster he turns in to, that no one could ever love him, as well as the guilt of the deaths of Tohru's mother and his own. Before he has even realized the extent of his emotion, it is clearly detected by others, such as Yuki, Arisa, and Saki. Saki, when in volume four, is visiting Kyoko's grave with Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, and Arisa, asks why Kyo is "standing before a grave with such feelings of regret... chaos.". Kyo finally confesses his love to himself and Akito in their confrontation in volume 11 and then breaks things off for good with Kagura Sohma in volume 12. In volume 17 he gives Tohru a paper flower when he hurts her feelings. Kyo and Tohru start to feel nervous around each other, for the two are realizing the true extent of their feelings (the mere act of touching hands sends them into fits of embarrassed babbling). It is also revealed in volume 16 that Kyo met Kyoko (Tohru's mother) in his childhood and even befriended her and, through her, knew of Tohru. In Chapter 122 and 123, when Tohru falls off a cliff while extending a hand of friendship to Akito Sohma and hits her head, Kyo finally admits his feelings to her, although she is not coherent enough to understand. Whilst she lies unconscious, Kyo kisses her on the lips, begging her not to die.
During Tohru's stay at hospital, Kyo made several attempts to visit her but was turned aside by both Tohru's friends and his own fear. Finally he admits that before he can see Tohru, he must tie up the loose ends of his own life and goes to see his father. After Tohru is released from the hospital, Kyo finally visits her, only to have her flee from him, due to him rejecting her confession of love. Unwilling to give up this time, Kyo gives chase to Tohru, remarking on how fast she is, but that he is faster. Eventually he catches up with her and confesses the extent of his feelings for her, this time whilst she is conscious and able to hear. Tohru does not feel she has to forgive Kyo, rather, she just wants to stay with him and reiterates the strength of her love. Overcome, the two embrace, only to realize that Kyo has not transformed. On the last page of chapter 129, the quote, "When one who was never loved is loved, the ancient promise nears the end" meaning that when Kyo found love, both given and received, the curse will be broken. Realizing the truth, Kyo tore off his beads, sending them scattering to the ground, a testament to the end of the curse as Tohru looks on, weeping with joy.
As the series ends, Kyo asks Tohru to accompany him on a journey to various dojos as he continues his martial arts training, so that eventually he can inherit Kazuma Sohma's dojo, and Tohru accepts.[6] In the last chapter, she and Kyo are packing to move after graduation, and in the final pages they are shown as a loving elderly couple with a granddaughter.[7]
TOHRU HONDA
A few months before the series begins, Tohru's mother died in a car accident, leaving her an orphan in the care of her grandfather. When his house needs remodeling, she moves into a tent on land that turns out to belong to the house of Shigure Sohma. When her tent is buried in a landslide during a rainstorm, Shigure convinces her to move in with him and Yuki as housekeeper in exchange for room and board. As she settles in, Kyo Sohma arrives to challenge Yuki. In the confusion, Tohru accidentally embraces him and he transforms into a cat, and when she stumbles into Yuki and Shigure, they transform as well into a rat and dog, respectively. The Sohmas explain that their family is cursed, and they are possessed by spirits of the Chinese zodiac plus the cat legend says would have been if it had not been tricked by the rat into missing the induction feast (see Zodiac origin stories). Tohru promises to keep their secret, under the threat of having her memories erased—a compromise agreed to by Akito Sohma, the mysterious head of the family, who orders Kyo live with Shigure as well.[4]
Tohru is soon friends with the three Sohmas—especially her classmates Yuki and Kyo, who she hopes will become friends themselves[24]—and they in turn are slowly affected by her presence.[25][26] Yuki is especially touched by Tohru's request that, if her memory is suppressed, he remain her friend,[27] which no one had asked him before.[28] Kyo initially appears to dislike Tohru, but he, like Yuki, is "drawn" to her kind heart and gentle demeanor. However, his inability to express his feelings results in frequent impulsive angry comments to Tohru, for which he usually ends up apologizing. Gradually Tohru meets the other cursed members of the Sohma family, and through her kindness and sympathy is able to help Hatori,[29] Ayame,[30] Kisa,[31] Hiro,[32] and Ritsu.[33] Her encouragement to Kisa also helps Yuki face his own self-doubts and accept becoming president of the student council;[31] in addition he knows, by a cap Tohru treasures,[14] that she is the lost little girl he once led home, an act that showed him that he was not as unneeded by others as Akito claimed.[34] Tohru becomes particularly close to Kyo after his foster-father Kazuma Sohma forces him to reveal the monstrous "true form" of his curse;[35] although initially repulsed, Tohru stays with him even after he violently tries to push her away.[36] Both Yuki[37] and Kyo[38] fall in love with her, though neither tells her.
As she learns more about the zodiac curse, Tohru becomes increasingly distressed by its cost to her friends—especially Momiji Sohma's separation from his little sister, Momo, who does not even know they are related,[39][40] and her friend Arisa's longing for Kureno Sohma, who cannot see her because he is bound to Akito.[41] When she learns that the feared Akito is the "god" of the zodiac and of the bet he made with Kyo, which could result in the cat being confined for life, she resolves to break the curse.[5] Tohru asks for help from Kazuma,[42] Rin,[12] and Kureno.[41] Despite setbacks and being warned off by Rin—who also seeks to break the curse, in order to free Hatsuharu—Tohru refuses to give up her goal.[43] She eventually receives encouragement and hints from Shigure,[21] who is using Tohru to weaken the curse for his own reasons.[44][45]
Meanwhile, Tohru's feelings for Kyo develop and she eventually admits he is the Sohma she wants the most to free, because she loves him.[46] This, however, only distresses her further, as she feels she is being unfaithful to her mother's memory.[22] However, when Tohru finally confesses to Kyo, he tells her he knew her mother when he was a child, and that he could have saved Kyoko from the car that killed her except it would have revealed his curse. Unable in his guilt to accept Tohru's feelings, he says her love is an illusion and runs away.[47] As she follows him, she meets Akito, who believes that Tohru's kindness to and acceptance of the cursed zodiac members has made them unfaithful to him, weakening their "bond" to the point that Momiji[48] and Hiro[49] have been freed from the curse. As he angrily confronts her, however, Tohru realizes that he is trapped by the past as much as she herself has been, by clinging to her mother's memory, and she extends her hand in friendship to Akito and introduces herself as a new start. However, before Akito can accept, Tohru falls down a nearby cliff when the ground collapses in the rain.[23] The accident makes Kyo realize how much he values Tohru,[50] and also allows Akito to finally break away from the roles he has held for most of his life.[51]
Tohru survives the fall and is hospitalized. As she recovers, Akito accepts Tohru's friendship,[52] and comes to accept both the person he is, instead of the god he has believed his father wished him to be,[51] and the woman she was born as, instead of the man she was raised to be.[53] Meanwhile Yuki, who has realized that what he wants from Tohru is an unconditional "motherly" love, not the love of a woman,[28] convinces Kyo to reconcile with Tohru, and when she is discharged from the hospital, Kyo confesses his feelings for her.[51] This acceptance of the cat, the first friend of the god of the zodiac,[54] breaks zodiac curse and all the Sohmas are freed.[51] In the last chapter, she and Kyo are shown packing to move to another city to continue his martial arts training, so that eventually he can inherit Kazuma's dojo, and in the final pages they are shown as a loving elderly couple with a granddaughter.[55]
TOGETHER
Tohru Honda is a 16/17 year old orphan. Her father Katsuya Honda died from an illness when she was very young and her mother Kyoko Honda died in a car accident just a few months before the story of Fruits Basket starts. She is extremely loving and sweet, always thinking of others before herself. Her hearts desire is to break the Zodiac curse so that the members of the Sohma family won't have to suffer it anymore. Breaking the curse seems to be especially important to her when it comes to Kyo-kun.
Kyo Sohma is the same age as Tohru and lives in Shigure Sohma's house. His martail arts sensai became like a father to him and seems to be one of the few people that Kyo actually likes. Not only does Kyo have to deal with the Zodiac curse like the other members of the Zodiac, he also has to deal with being the outsider and having two forms: the cat and the vengful spirit of the cat which is a monsterous form. Kyo comes across as an angry loner but inside he has a loving heart that has been covered in pain. He wants someone to understand him.
Now on to their story....
Kyo Sohma and Tohru Honda have a very specail and unique story. They meet on somewhat shaking grounds as Tohru ends up bumping into Kyo and he transforms into a cat. At the beggining she worries that Kyo hates her but really that is far from the truth. Kyo has a hard time showing his feelings but throughout the manga and the anime his feelings begin to show through more and more. It becomes very clear that he is in love with Tohru and though he may not show it in the ways Yuki does, it is still obvious (except Tohru seems unaware of this). He defends Tohru, looks out for her and cares for her deeply. He even smiles at her and because of her he tries to control his temper. Tohru seems torn between Yuki and Kyo but I believe she also has feelings for Kyo. Their lives have been entwined before they even knew it - before they even knew each other. Tohru is like the missing piece in Kyo's heart. A person who is uncursed, that accepts Kyo for all he is, flaws and all. As a child she felt sorry for the cat in the Zodiac story and has been a fan of the cat every since. Though Tohru is more like Yuki than Kyo she seems to fit better with Kyo - opposites attract, as they say.
SEE I AM OBSESSED :d I TOALLY LOVE THIS SHOW
