Rhyming... it shall be the downfall of humanity... eh, sorry. I was just playing Paper Mario all day (seriously. It's the most addictive game ever.) and it really starts to show when I start talking... I just finished the level where you get stranded on a not-so-deserted island and have to go find "Cortez" the dead pirate. He's a rather friendly guy though... and before that was twilight town where whenever a bell rang in the tower a villager would turn into a pig (the mayor kept saying "oinkers"). My little yoshi partner kept saying how cliche it was... I'm off to the train mystery now... great level. There's a diary and if you open it a ghost comes and kills you. Instantly. He's all like "Argh! I told you not to open it!" And then it's game over.. my brother is going around as a paper boat now... whee. The best level is when you're a fighter at the glitz pit and you keep getting letters from "X". I was all like "conspiracy!" I like the Princess Peach and Bowser levels too... omg, I love this game. Best sequel ever... and Princess Peach said "funky". Pffffft. And one of the bad guys is named "Johnson."

[Mika Sohma]

I never played that game always wanted to, never did though.
his name is JOHNSON haha!
OINKERS!

[Kairi Sohma]

Johnson... I love him. He can be in my fan club along with that nameless dude in Furuba who said 'I think thou doth protest too much'.

By the way, Marissa, I absolutely adore you. And the eyebrows on the smiley faces ARE big.

[Mika Sohma]

(feels so luRved)
i got a question, do u know how many books/volumes there are in Fruits Basket?

[Kairi Sohma]

Volume 121 is coming out September 129.

CHAPTER 131!!! ... was really pretty... just pretty. I loved just looking at the panels.

So, basically, now we know why the curse is broken... I'm going to steal someone's summary now >.< No, no, just kidding.

So, basically, Kami-sama (God) is all alone and is afraid to go live with humans 'cause he's all different and junk. So he's lonely... like Akito-lonely. And one day a cute adorable stray cat comes and says that he wants to stay with God because he's lonely too. So the Cat and God stay constantly by each others side. And so God thinks 'Hey, I like this! Instead of humans I can be with animals. Why don't we invite more of them.' So God sent out many, many invitations. In response twelve animals came to live with God. So the thirteen and God would have a huge banquet of singing, dancing, and laughing every time the moon would go up in the sky. But one day the Cat collapsed. He was old and had reached the end of his lifespan. All of the animals and God were sad and cried. Then they were scared because they realized that they, too, would one day die and not have these happy times together anymore. So God cast a spell and drew a circle around a cup of sake. And he said 'This is our bond. No matter how many times we die we will always be reborn and meet each other again. We will always have the banquet. Forever. Unchanging.' ((Hence Akito's inherent want to remain the same forever.)) God made the Cat drink from the cup first. All of the animals agreed to do the same so the rat to the second sip followed by the ox and so on. But afterward the Cat gasped 'God. God. Why did you make me do that? I don't want this to be forever. I don't want eternity.' Everyone was shocked and tryed to convince the Cat otherwise but the Cat went on. 'Even if we are afraid let's accept that things come to an end. I was so happy to be with you, God, even if it was a short time. I was so happy. If we die and are reborn and can meet once again I will be so happy. But next time instead of just during moonlit nights I want to see you under the sun and among other people, not by ourselves.' And then the Cat died. The animals and God felt rejected and betrayed by the Cat's words and so did not care that he had died. They left and continued to live happily together. But soon, one by one, they began to die. Finally, even the Dragon died. God was all alone again. Eventually even God began to die but he was comforted by the promise that he had made with those he love. He knew that they waited for him.

Back to the present: Yuki is about to tell Machi about the curse. He is crying and so, naturally, she's concerned. He tells her that it's okay, he's only sad because someone he's been with forever is parting. Even though, he says, being together had become painful, even a burden. But now that they were seperating he didn't want it to happen. Because he knew that deep inside that they would never meet again. Yuki then snaps out of it and apologizes for making no sense. He tells her that he'd been planning to tell her something different but 'for now... this is enough.' And then he hugs her ^^ Machi pushes away a bit and says that there was actually something she wanted to ask him ((she blushes worse than Tohru does by the way ^^;). He asks her what it is and she says: 'Would it be okay... if I called you by your name?' ((Up until now she's just called him 'President')) He says 'Of course.' and encourages her to say it. She shyly stammers out a Yuki and he asks her to say it again. When she does he kisses her ^.^

So now we go all the way back to the main house where Tohru and Kyo have arrived. For the rest of the chapter there's no more talking ((although it's pretty easy to figure out what everyone's saying.)). Instead there's a running inner voice from Kami-sama saying he's sorry that his spell became a burden. How he wanted to say thank you and I'm sorry to all of the 12shi and so on. But back to what's going on in the pictures: Kyo and Tohru have found Shishou/Kazuma/whatever you want to call him. Tohru still looks kind of weepy actually... but, anyway, Kyo shows Kazuma his wrist where the beads used to be (he ripped them off in the last chapter, if you don't remember). For a moment Kazuma doesn't seem to realize anything and then a look of dawning comes across it. He reaches out and hugs Kyo ((KAWAII!!!)). Tohru does her teary eyed thing... and then Haru pops up. And ruins the mood. Completely. As far as I can tell from the pictures he's telling the others that he and Rin are free too ((Rin is hanging back a bit while he's telling them)). So Tohru is even moooooooooore happy. And then her eyes do that big shocked thing and she grabs onto Kyo's sleeve and has that Do you think...?! type of expression. He looks pretty much like all he's thinking is 'Uhh...' I'm pretty sure that she was asking him whether he thought Yuki was free or not... or asking about Akito because then they go over to Akito's room... So they're standing by the door when Akito's hand pops through the opening and grabs onto Tohru's shirt. Cue funny little scene where Tohru spazzes out and then gets pulled through the door! I'm going to put up Kyo's face after this happens because I think it's completely priceless... The end of the chapter is a picture of Tohru and Akito hugging and Kami-sama petting the Cat.

So I just wanted to say this: So there, rat! You're not Kami's favorite! HA!

KYO ^^ I'm too lazy to crop it right now so you can just have the whole page...:


Did I give you guys anything from last chapter!? Because... man. They're all free. Here's the cover page anyway:


And a picture of Tohru and Kyo being all happy that Kyo is free:


And a hug from chapter 130... because I can't find the really cute one of Ayame and Mine that I wanted to put up:

[Mika Sohma]

eeee that's so cute/kewl!!!!!!!

[Kairi Sohma]

Yeah so... Chapter 132 was totally Shikito and I don't think anyone here is a fan of that pairing. Are you...? So you probably could care less. Bullet point time!

-Everyone knows Akito is a girl.

-Shii-chan and Akii-chan totally hook up, dude.

- Momiji is evil towards Kyo.

-Momiji and Kagura sort of team up in this meanness.

-Momiji being like 'Kyo it's all your fault that I can't be with the girl I like' and Kagura being like 'If it wasn't for her I could be with you. Dump her!'

-Basically, Kagura is standing there and Kyo walks up awkwardly and is all like 'hey' and she glomps him... and Momiji takes a picture (with a camera phone? Or an odd camera. Why would he be carrying a camera?!) and says 'It's not nice to cheat.' It took me five minutes to figure out who it was... he looked all scary 0.0 Then Momiji and Kagura kind of walk off saying "Cheating... Che~eating."

- Yuki says somethin' about being worried that the ex-zodiac members would feel weird together now. Ayame shows up. 'Nuff said.

- Haru says 'don't worry. I'll still love you, Yuki.' Rin gets jealous. Priceless.

-When Akito comes out in her purtyful women's kimono Ritsu asks if Akito has the same "hobby" as he does. AMAZING!

[Mika Sohma]

You forgot the fact that Momiji get SUPER SEXY and that Tohru confesses her love to Kyo and Machi and Yuki are kinda a couple.

[Kairi Sohma]

Did I skip those chapters...? I don't think so. I like the YukixMachi chapter a lot. Even more the second time I saw it.

[Aeryjit Sohma]

i'm a shigureXakito fan...together theyre sexy

[Kairi Sohma]

True, true. Very true. Surprisingly true. I suppose... *feels like agreeing for some reason*

Poor Akito... she suffers from size A syndrome... I feel for her. I'd be traumatized too.
