Prologue

Tohru Honda walked home from school with Yuki, Kyo, Hatsuharu, and Momiji Sohma.

"Yuki, are there any zodiac members I haven't met yet?" she asked.

"Not that I can think of Miss Honda," he pondered for a moment.

"What about Teresa?" Momiji piped up.

"Teresa? What zodiac animal is she?" Tohru asked the others.

"The raven," it was Haru who muttered the name.

"The raven? I didn't know there was a raven in the zodiac."

"There's not, not in the zodiac anyway," Tohru glanced toward Kyo, who was looking up at the sky, "Well quit starring if you want to hear about it!" he snapped seeing Tohru watching him. Tohru nodded, "The raven of the zodiac went to the banquet with all the other animals, but the snake and the dog decided to play a trick on the raven." Kyo stopped for a moment and Haru picked up the story.

"The dog and the snake set a small fire to a nearby forest, and the raven thought it was there's. So it left the banquet in the middle and tried the save what it thought was its home. That's why it's not in the zodiac."

"Although, unlike the cat, the god didn't get angry at the raven, instead he favored it. Because it left to save its home, and the raven is still the favorite of the god of the zodiac," Momiji added.

"The god's favorite? What does that mean?" Tohru asked.

"No one's really sure, Miss Honda, anything about that what it means isn't recorded anywhere. And the previous ravens said it changes with god, but we do know that the god has never hurt the raven, no matter what," Yuki told her.

"Oh, why haven't I met her?"

"Her parents didn't like how Akito was treating Teresa, so they moved her to Kyoto. But she comes back to visit occasionally, the last time was two years ago," Haru said almost sadly.

"So I may never meet her?" Tohru asked.

"That depends on if she ever comes back," Kyo said. Tohru wanted to meet this girl, although that depended entirely on if she ever came back."
