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.
DISCLAIMER: Fruits Basket is the property of Natsuki Takaya/HAKUSENSHA - TV TOKYO - NAS - Fruba Project and licensed by FUNimation Productions (anime) and Tokyopop (manga) for distribution in the US and Canada.

YEAR TEN
"HA!"
I wince as I hear the tell-tall slap of flesh on wood. It's followed by a loud crack. When I open my eyes, the board is broken. Splintered into two uneven pieces. Not perfect, but acceptable.
And applause rises throughout the dojo.
My shock turns to pride as I see the judges nod to each other. Their smiles are a good sign. They're pleased, and so am I.
She did it. Kyoko did it.
She earned her first karate belt.
I have to admit I was skeptical when she said she wanted to learn. Dance classes only did so much for her poise and gracefulness. Her concentration was horrible and her memory seemingly worse.
But when she asked to take part in my classes, how could I say no?
"You did it!"
“Great job!”
"Congratulations!"
She's beaming as she high-fives her classmates. Maybe this is really what she needed. At ten years old, she'll still not the most graceful, or most feminine. But her focus has improved, and so have her grades. She enjoys learning now and she's made new friends.
And I enjoy spending the time with her.
These moments won't last forever, or so I’ve been told.
