Tohru Honda quotes from Fruits Basket

A lot of people are too scared to admit that they're still children. They do everything they can to avoid it. So people who can admit that have a lot of courage.

But... but... but from now on... I want to understand everything. From now on... just like you listened to my complaints, Kyo-kun... I want you to let me listen to yours. When things get tough... when you're scared, when you're weak... I want you to tell me. I want you to let me care about you. I want to be together. I want us to live... eat meals, study... share our troubles... like we did before... together. I want to stay together!

It's a mystery. Just because of a simple sentence... I get shaken... or I get happy. Kyo-kun is mysterious indeed.

Why does... my heart... hurt so much? Like it's being torn apart. Is it because my outrageous wish... is so disheartening? Is it because I know... that some wishes... don't come true? Even so... I wish. I wish...

Mom taught me that people's differences are something to celebrate. When I thought of all the different shapes of human kindness -- imagining them as round or square...I got really excited. Your kindness is like a candle Sohma-kun. I can feel it light up, and I just want to smile. It's that kind of kindness.

My mom told me, it's better to trust people than to doubt them. She said that people aren't born with kind hearts. When we're born, all we have are desires for food and material things. Selfish instincts, I guess. But she said that kindness is something that grows inside of each person's body, but it's up to us to nurture that kindness in our hearts. That's why kindness is different for every person. We're all born with selfish desires, so we can all relate to those feelings in others. But kindness is something made individually by each person, so it's easy to misunderstand when others are trying to be kind to you.

It's not always easy to see the good in people. In some people, you might even doubt that it's there at all. But if you can somehow, find a way to believe...sometimes that's all it takes to help someone, to give them the strength to find the good in themselves.

A rice ball doesn't belong in a fruits basket.

As they played the game...I waited for someone to call "onigiri." But no one called. I was very little then. I had almost forgotten about that. But they knew...there would never be room for an onigiri...in a fruits basket.

Ayame

My, my. Welcome back, Yuki! And you're with your little friends!

Kyo

WHO'RE YOU CALLING HIS FRIEND?!

Ayame

By the way, Yuki...

Kyo

HEY!

Ayame

I just received some advice from Tori-san. From now on, I'm going to deepen our bond with my forceful conviction! This is the best way!

Yuki

[thinking] ...The best way is for him to give up.

Tohru

Forceful... conviction? What do you mean?

Ayame

I MEAN--! Yuki is my younger brother, and I am Yuki's older brother! Based on this indisputable fact, I will make this declaration! YUKI! As your older brother, I want you... [points to Yuki] ...TO SUBMIT TO ME!

[Echo] To me... to me... to me...

Yuki

...GO TO HELL!

[Yuki beats up Ayame, then picks him up in his zodiac form, spins him around, and throws him in the lake]

Hatori

Poor Ayame... he just doesn't get it.

Shigure

He really doesn't.

Kagura

Ky-o-kuuun!

[Kyo freezes]

Kagura

Tee hee hee! [to a sweating Kyo] Welcome home...my Kyo-kun!

[Kyo closes the door - a loud slam is heard]

Tohru

Ky-ky...Kyo-kun?! Just now, I heard a slam sound...

Yuki

[thinking] It'll take more than a door to stop her...

Kagura

Kyo-kun?! Kyo-kun, dear, what's wrong?! The door closed?!

Kyo

Yeah, it's closed! And it won't ever open again!

[Kagura's fist punches a hole through the door]

Kagura

[grabs Kyo through the hole] Open it.

Kyo

...Kay.

[Tohru's crying and wishing upon the stars up on the roof]

Tohru

Kyo-kun, what do you wish for?

Kyo

For a certain someone... to stop crying. [wipes away her tears]
