prologue

As the Sohma children laughed and played together outside, one lonely figure stood behind the window and looked out with large, crimson eyes. Fiery orange bangs fell in front of his forehead, reminding him that he was the cat; the outcast; the scorned. As much as the little one didn't want to show emotion, tears began to pool in his eyes, and he started to cry.

"Why are you crying?" said a tiny voice. The little one - his name was Kyo - looked up to see another boy standing in front of him; his hair was black and white, signifying that he was the sign of the cow.

"Don't cry," the kid - Haru - continued. "I'll play with you."

"Really?" Kyo whispered. "Y-you don't care that I'm the cat?"

Haru stared at him. "You're the cat? But you seem too nice to be the cat. Everyone else hates the cat."

Kyo sniffed. "I know."

"But that's okay, I'll be your friend." Haru smiled at him. "Come on, let's go play!"
