' thoughts'

first chapter: prolude

" god's daughter was a beautiful purple eyed girl with a kind and pure soul. She loved all the animal in the land but her favorite was the cat, not that she told anyone this. God decided he wanted to hold a banquet in honor of his daughters 16 birthday invited all the animals to the banquet and told them not to be late."

" then the rat tricked the cat didn't he dad?"

"yes kagome now let me finish telling you the story"

"kay"

" the rat and the cat both secretly liked the gods daughter and hoped to win her favor. The rat being near the god at the time asked if he could be the one to tell the cat about the banquet. Having the gods permission he went and told the cat it was the day after. The cat being so excited went out to find a gift that he would be proud to give his secret love and settled on his families treasure a jewel that was slightly pink and slightly purple and that was the size of a marble. All the animal enjoyed the banquet and received the present on becoming the animals of the zodiac. Except the poor cat who had missed it completely. The cat being tricked by the rat was at first hurt that his friend would do something like this to him though that hurt turned into anger then after a while into hate. Then one day god's daughter came by to see the cat and ask him why he hadn't come to the banquet or visited since, worried that he might not like her anymore. At first the cat ignored her and soon became violent toward her and anyone who came near him but the princess( a/n I got tired of calling her "gods daughter" so princess every once in awhile will work fine.) stayed by him and soon the cat fell more deeply in love with her than he had before."

"But god didn't like didn't he daddy."

"that right see he had wanted his daughter to fall in love with or just marry the rat since by now he had become gods favorite animal. But the rat was overcome by jealousy at how much she and the cat loved each other. So when god found out that the rat had feeling for the girl he put a curse on the cat's spirit as a way of separating them."

" but the girl wasn't afraid and she stayed by the cat still loving him right papa?"

"Yes kagome she did this mad the rat sad which in turn angered the god into punishing his daughter."

"what did he do?"

" He hurt the cat and sent him far away. His daughter soon got so heart sick she started to die. He gave her a chance though and told her before she died that the only way to free her loved one the cat she would have to choose him over all else and upon hearing that she died."

" god then so that he would never be lonely bound all the other animal to the Sohma family who had been friends to his daughter and therefore tied them to himself so that the brief sense of happiness he had felt without his daughter would last for ever so the zodiac animals and the sohma family resigned themselves to fate. The rat hating the cat for this."

" Mommy? Could I help the cat by loving him more than I do now?"

" I'm sure you can sweetie now got to sleep."
