Before the Zodiac was formed…
Kento and Kageru were running through the forest as fast as they could. "Please hurry Kento! If the Boar finds out what we did, she's ram us into the other side of the earth!" Kageru yelled at her brother as they ran. To reached the Cat's favorite tree and stopped.
Kento was breathing hard. "Cat, if anyone asks we were with you all the entire time?" the Cat looked at them, curiously.
"Why?" he looked at the mischievous grin on his best friends face. "Who did you two prank this time?" he asked eagerly.
"Not us two!" Kageru protested. "I was racing the Horse (A/N: she lost) when I passed by Boar's house and she was asleep in the shade. That was when I saw Kento."
Kento laughed. "I put honey and leaves on her! She should be waking up any moment now." He gave Cat a high five. "It was for you but I just really wanted to do it to someone."
The Cat shuddered. "She's always trying to go out with me. I just don't like her like that. But she's too thick headed." Kageru looked at him.
"I still think that was mean." She walked over to Cat. "You'd never send Kento to do something like that to me would you?"
He licked her head. "Of course not. I like it when you come to visit me." Kento groaned.
"Can you two do that in the privacy of your house?" Kento said. Kageru got up.
"I have to go. I have to go baby-sit Tiger, Ram and Bunny." She sighed and licked Cat on the head. "I'll see you tomorrow."
Cat stretched and lay down. "I'm going to take a nap. You going to join me?" Kento shrugged and crawled into a ball.
Meanwhile…
"Rat. I need you to do me a favor." God asked him.
Rat looked from his strawberry and listened. "Of course my lord. For you I would do anything."
"Yes I know. I need you to invite all the animals to my banquet. It will be tomorrow and they have to be on time."
"Yes my lord! I will tell them at once!" with that the Rat scurried off to tell their Leader first.
"… and we have to be there on time." The Rat finished telling their Leader. He nodded. At that same time, Kageru was passing by. He walked over to her.
"Why Kageru-chan my darling. Where are you going in such a hurry? A beauty like you should be walking very slowly so all of us can adore you." He said.
"Leader, as much as you have power, I will not fall for your false flattery." She kept on walking. "And I need to go baby sit, so if you'll excuse me."
He caught up with her. "Ah, but you see, I flatter you because it is so true. Now I have something very important to tell you. God has asked all the animals to come to his banquet tomorrow. Will you do me the honor and go with me?" he looked at her.
"Don't ruffle your feathers. I thank you for telling me about the banquet… but" Kageru stopped.
"But what?" he demanded.
"But Kento found me someone who I truly want to be with." Kageru said, sighing.
"Who?" he yelled, outraged. Rat looked at them from the stump of a tree. "Who is better than me to take his place beside you?"
Kageru got mad. "Cat, he will always be better to me than you ever will! Now leave me be!" and with that she ran off.
"Rat!" he barked.
"Y-yes?" he squeaked. "Lord Akaido what do you have in mind?"
He had an evil look in his eyes. "I want you to tell Cat and Kento that God's Banquet is the day after tomorrow."
"B-but Akaido, God will surely punish me!" Rat said.
"Do it! Or do you want Horse and Cow to be together or not? I can bring Dog back into her life." He threatened.
Rat hung his head down, defeated. "Yes sir."
