In volume 22 of Fruits Basket Tohru is still in the hospital from injuries suffered in volume 21. Arisa Outani and Saki Hanajima won't let Kyo see Tohru until she's out of the hospital because Tohru is still upset because she thinks Kyo doesn't like her. Kyo decides that he needs to confront his father about his future and goes to see him, declaring that he will live the rest of his life for himself. During this time Akito begins to come to her senses about everything that's going on and orders that the cat's isolated room be destroyed. Arisa Outani goes to see Kureno in the hospital (He was also injured in volume 21) and he tells her that he needs to leave or Akito will never heal. Arisa promises him that she will go anywhere with him. Tohru eventually leaves the hospital and sees Kyo. She runs away from him but he catches up with her and tells her that he loves her. Tohru says that she loves him to and they hug but the curse breaks and Kyo does not transform. Slowly they show the bittersweet scenes of all the zodiac members being released from the curse. Yuki is the last one to be free of the curse. He originally was going to tell Machi about the curse but when he feels the curse lift he decides to hug and kiss her instead.
