"A Rice Ball in a Fruits Basket"

SUMMARY:

Tohru finally goes to live with her paternal grandfather, now that his house renovations are complete. However, this turns out not to be the happiest decision for either Tohru or the Sohmas. Tohru's paternal family (with the exception of her grandfather) are cruel to her and see her more as a burden than as a family (unlike the Sohmas, who treasure Tohru.) After living there awhile, Tohru's grandfather urges her to tell him where she would rather be, because he wants her to be happy and free, like her mother and his son, her father. Though she is very grateful for her Grandfather's kindness and love, she confesses to missing her life with the Sohmas. Yuki and Kyo soon after walk in to take her back home. She walks hand-in-hand with both of them to their house, and they are all greeted by a smiling Shigure.
