7. What is their fondest memory? Their worst? (Kyo)
@commxnd | ASK ME STUFF !
kyo’s fondest memory is definitely ( pre-fruits basket), the first time he met his master, kazuma . though his memory of the moment is definitely vague, since he was so young , he remembers how is master made him feel , after being rejected by his own parents . he remembers how warm his master was to him, how he never recoiled or treated him as anyone less. it was the first kindness he had experienced in his entire life, and the years spent training with kazuma helps to only reinforce this bond . even though he comes to learn that kazuma treats him this way out of repentance to his grandfather , kyo can’t find it in his heart to bear a grudge against the man.
his worst memory is seeing kyoko die . she was probably the only other person that ever showed him kindness, and he hates how the last time he spoke to her was in anger . he always liked watching her , and a young tohru , imagining he might have a mom just like her . when tohru got lost he wanted to play the hero and impress kyoko, only to have stupid yuki interfere . in the moment when the car hit her haunts him . he knows he could have saved her , but his secret held him back . it was a split second decision but there was so much fear there ; what if she found out about what he was ? he was afraid she would be disgusted , that her love for him would be ruined , or not as unconditional as his master’s . he did not want that , and she ended up paying for his insecurity with her life. it’s something he will never get over in his life , seeing that car hit her , knowing he could have just reached out his hand. no amount of training could make him strong enough to overcome that … or remedy that weakness .
