A Fanlisting
A fanlisting is a group of people who like something; i.e., a group of people who like Wolves. All a fanlisting is is a list of fans to do with that particular person, item, or object; it joins together people with similar interests.

Fruits Basket
Fruits Basket is the story of Tohru Honda, who, due to her mother dying in an accident, is living in a tent. A fateful day, the Sohma's take her in; and she discovers that they are cursed with the twelve animals of the zodiac, plus the cat! Despite this, the head, Akito, doesn't erase her memory, and allows her to live with them. Tohru meets many members of the zodiac, and discovers things that could change her life forever.

Kagura and Yuki
Yuki is one of the three main characters in the story, and is refered to as a 'Prince' at his school and has his own fan club following, and part of the zodiac (the rat). Kagura is two years older than Yuki and is the boar for the zodiac, and has known Yuki since she was young, and these two get along well.

They can be defined as really good friends as they mostly share 'everything' to a point when they see each other (which isn't often, admitidly). Kagura (Yuki had no choice in the matter) hugged Yuki when Tohru first met her to prove a point he wouldn't transform. Yuki, in neither version, expressed any emotion to this. They also seem to be the two 'rejectees' for their loves, as such; Kagura doesn't end up with Kyo, and Yuki doesn't with Tohru (this originally made me consider them, but it isn't why I like them now). They actually have a sequence together in the manga after Kagura finally lets go of Kyo, and this is perhaps the first time we see Yuki really admit that he knows he doesn't have a chance for Tohru.

There are also scenes in the anime that do not appear in the manga in the last three episodes with them in. The first is a discussion between the two, with Kagura casually trying to shrug off that she isn't worried about Kyo, but really, is breaking apart. Yuki listens to her, in a way, and ends up running off to find Kyo and Tohru. After this battle as such, when Kyo and Tohru return together, Kagura is seen bandaging up Yuki. She evidently cares about him from bothering to do this. It was actually this scence that made me think of them as a proposed relationship for the anime, and I began to look back and realise I loved the idea of the two paired. They balance each other out.

Why
I've loved this relationship for a very long time. I finally broke into applying for it after recently reading the chapter with them in it. This is my Fruits Basket otp; typically, most of my Fruits Basket ships are actually the characters who do not end up together. I love this pairing, they seem to get along well, and treat each other as equals. Yuki is one of the few fortunate people who actually sees Kagura in a quiet mood, proving she knows him well. I also like their normal relationship, from the past and presently, as really good friends and sort of brother/sisterly friendship. Yuki admits Kagura is strong, and Kagura watches after Yuki and calls him 'Yun-chan'. I basically just love this pairing to pieces and am honoured to get a chance to run their fanlisting, regardless how non-loved these two are.

Reflected In You
Due to the fact they are both rejected as such, and are see and treat each other as equals. They also see qualities in each other they wished they had. Alongside that, too, with the chapter they talk to each other alone, it's just after they have been beaten out of their loves, since Kyo doesn't love Kagura, and Yuki evidently knows he will never love Tohru as much as Kyo.
