AND AS SHE GROWS
A Fruits Basket Series of Drabbles
Written by Miyu, Vampire Princess
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This series follows my story, "Her Tears." You don't need to read it to understand this, but I strongly encourage it. =o) Each chapter is a 200 word drabble dedicated to the life of Kyo's daughter as she grows up. Kyo/Tohru centric. Told from Kyo's point of view. Possible SPOILERS for those not familiar with the end of the manga.

YEAR EIGHTEEN
Years of struggling, fighting and frustration have finally brought us to this moment. She lost focus for a time, but she managed to pick it up at the end. For a while, I thought this day would never come.
"Congratulations, Kyoko!"
"Thanks, aunt Arisa."
My little girl's all grown up.
"Here, let me get a picture. Smile!"
And graduating from high school.
Wearing her school uniform, ribbon in place and scroll in hand, I can't be prouder. Okay, so she didn't make it with honors. Not like Yuki's son, Kaoru, did. But she passed.
And she'll be going off to a junior college. Not a prestigious school like Yuki's son. But she's continuing on. Something neither I nor Tohru had done.
"Brings back memories, doesn't it?"
I don't have to look to know Yuki is standing beside me. "Yeah, it does." Memories of self-doubt, self-consciousness and self-loathing.
Of love.
"Congratulations, Kyo."
"You, too, Yuki."
"So now what will you do with the house to yourself?"
"I don't know. Maybe I can convince Tohru we need another one."
"A baby?"
"No, a teenager."
Although we both laugh, I'm dead serious.
My little girl is leaving. What am I going to do?
