Chapter 1.
Kanagawa. Midnight. 13 years ago.
In an orphanage, the director took care of some paperwork in her office, even though it's too late. However, her work was interrupted when someone rang the doorbell.
Director: *worried* Is it a thief?
Her was answer the door, getting surprised by what she found on the threshold: a newborn and stumpy baby, with no members. Drew just that some unnatural mother had done this with the poor baby, just because he's poor.
When she took the baby and would close the door she saw something that caught her attention: a pendant on the ground, probably from the baby's mother. The director took it and read the name that was written on it.
Director: "Mitsune Konno"?
At the same time, a girl of 12 years old ran away after leaving her newborn son at the orphanage, unaware that she had lost her pendant.
Kitsune woke up scared, sweating a lot. Had had that dream again. The past always tried to forget, but never succeeded.
Even at 25 years.
Kitsune: Why are these memories are coming back? Why just now? It's been 13 years since I left my son at the orphanage! The son who I never wanted!
Trying to stay calmer, Kitsune dressed for the wedding ceremony that would have on board that day, between Keitaro and Naru. They still had things to do and, to top it off, the veil was gone.
Shinobu and Motoko as she helped with the decoration, Kitsune thought in the dream. Or rather, in their past. Had not told anyone, not even for Naru, but she had a child 12 years ago. However, because of age, and because she didn't want to embarrass herserf by having a child without limbs, gave to the orphanage and never wanted to know him.
Only one thing was very worried.
Kitsune: I wonder where's my pendant! Since that day, I didn't see him!
At the time of marriage, on the staircase, and Shirai Haitani took care of the guest list.
Voice: Uh ... excuse me!
The two boys raised their vision to those who called them and noted an apparent 13 years boy with red hair to his shoulders with a diagonal fringe and frayed, and be wearing a green shirt, a heart-shaped pendant and a pair of blue dark. But what caught the attention of the boys were his eyes.
Were identical to those of Kitsune.
Haitani: *confused* Uh... we can help you?
Boy: Here's where Mitsune Konno live?
Shirai: Mitsune Konno ... ah, Kitsune! Yes, it's right here. But today will happen a wedding here.
Boy: *surprised* Marriage? In a pension?
Shirai: This used to be an inn, it was common to weddings here.
Boy: Uh... ok! Well, I can talk to Mitsune?
Haitani: I think it might, but for safety, you can leave your name with us?
Boy: Yoko Masuda.
The two boys have noted the name of Yoko, before even climb the stairs leading to the pension.
As was said, would happen in a marriage ceremony of the pension funds. Everything was neat, but as the groom had not arrived, the ceremony had not yet begun.
Not to draw attention and find one that was penetrating, Yoko was leaning against a tree, where he could see everything. Apart from the priest who will be back, of course!
Loading a sketchbook, Yoko drawing everything he saw... including confusion that arose when the bridegroom came.
Most thought it was a thief, because he and his partner were masked in the head. Fortunately, everything was resolved and the marriage took place.
However, while speaking at the altar Keitaro, Naru noticed Yoko drawing behind the priest.
Naru: *suspicious* I don't remember that kid! Is a relative of someone?
Yoko continued recording on paper everything that happened in marriage, until the scene who caught the bouquet.
Yoko: *grin* That my talent to surprise me!
Ema: Uh ... Shinobu, how many mens live here on the board?
Shinobu: Only one: the groom.
Emma: So who's that guy with the notebook?
Emma pointed Yoko discreetly.
Shinobu: *confused* I don't know. It must be a friend of Sarah. She's going to talk to him!
Back to the tree...
Sarah: Yoko-kun?
Yoko looked up from his notebook to see Sarah at his side.
Yoko: *surprised* Sarah? What are you doing here?
Sarah: My father was invited by the couple to be godfather. But what about you? You are here for your mother?
Yoko: Yes. But I'll wait to finish the wedding.
Sarah was one of the few people that knew Yoko, considered his best friend since they met in the Kingdom of Mol Mol. They were such good friends and Yoko told for Sarah their biggest secret: he was adopted and sought his mother, but Sarah didn't think that "Mitsune, Yoko's mother" and Mitsuke Konno were the same person.
Sarah: *worried* I hope the "fox" doesn't hurt much.
