In the secluded village of the Lunar Cat tribe in Makai, the day went as usual, only this day, a young hanyou was born. A hanyou, you ask? Yes, a hanyou... A young half cat demon, the other part of her... human. How does this happen in a village of all full-blooded cat demons, you ask? Well, the answer is very simple really... You see, Jya, father to the only hanyou in his village, had stole from a great castle owned by the Makaian government. So, the demonic government, in an angry fit, managed to hire a witch to place a curse on Jya's by-then-unborn child.

When Jya returned to his village later, after the curse had already been placed, he found his mate with his first child, just born minutes before, Kat, in her arms. "Jya, somehow... she was born only half demon..." Linda murmured perplexed.

"But, how—what?" Jya started to ponder how it was possible when he and his mate, Linda, were both full cat demons, but was interrupted by a shrill scream from the distance. He and Linda snapped their gazes to out the window of their small home. Their fellow Lunar Cat youkai were running... away from something... but what?

Well, the demons had also hired a group of bounty hunters to hunt down and kill Jya, and any others that got in their way, and retrieve the ancient artifact Jya had stolen from them. The hunters had tracked the thieving Jya to his village... Not good.

"Linda... we have to go," Jya whispered urgently, turning back to his mate, Kat sleeping peacefully in her mother's arms. He began grabbing just some small things that they might need later. "We're going to Living World," he stated absently.

Oh, did I forget to mention that the demons of the Lunar Cat tribe have the ability to travel to Living World, slipping by the Kakai Barrier? They can, but only when the moon is full, and it just so happened, as luck would naturally have it, that night was a full moon. Hm, who would have thought it?

"Why are we leaving?" Linda asked fearfully, face paled slightly as she sent a worried glance out the window as her fellow neko youkai ran and screamed. She watched her mate stuff some various things into a pack and raced by, grabbing her hand gently and coaxing her out the backdoor.

"I'll explain later," Jya answered quickly and concentrated his aura on creating a portal to Living World. His eyes glowed a bright silver as a black aura enveloped around his body. He held one arm out straight, eyes focused ahead of him while the hunters drew closer and closer.
There were voices calling out to each other; the hunters were checking every house for Jya, and they were almost at his doorstep. "Hey! There he is!" a tall youkai with blue skin and big muscles yelled to his companions. He rushed forward, ax in hand and stained with blood, and his fellow hunters ran after him through the house, attempting to catch their target.
Suddenly, a deep purple-coloured portal grew out of nowhere in front of Jya, who exclaimed, "Quick!" and pulled Linda, Kat in one arm, through the portal after himself. Just as the hunters drew level with the portal, it vanished... The baffled hunters stood staring blankly at a tall tree...
"Gr... They got away!" the leader of the group yelled and glared at each of his partners, as if it was their fault. Oh well, looks like those bounty hunters won't get paid for this mission... Too bad, right? I know... It's so sad... Not.

"We made it," Jya sighed in relief and collapsed to a sitting position at the base of an oak tree in some forest in Japan. "Thank goodness," he mumbled. Linda spoke his name softly, questioningly. He looked up to see her confused, worried face and smiled up at her. "Everything'll be fine... But, from now on, we live as humans," he said as his baby girl started wailing, finally waking up from her slumber, being not even a day old...
