Truth Behind the Mask
A Yuki Sohma History
I am Yuki Sohma and I am not your ordinary person. You see I was born with a curse. In fact most of my family has this same curse. If we are hugged by members of the opposite sex we transform in to one of the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac. In fact I am the rat who is supposed to have tricked the foolish cat into missing the banquet at some point causing the stupid cat to no be included in the regular members of the Zodiac.
I am 16 years old at this time and just about to enter my 3rd year of high school. I have a few friends now but I am not what you would call a friendly person. I am polite to those who talk with me but would I say that I go out of my way to be friends with people? No. I don't in fact I avoid it as much as possible. I have my own fan club of girls who would love to be my girlfriend but I can't say that I have any interest in them at all. I don't understand why they even like me at all other than they think I am handsome.
I am shy by nature and fear being told I am not welcomed by others. I fear rejection and I am scared of things people would not understand if they knew about it. I have a past that scares me and makes me wish to have died a long time ago.
*Sigh* I am getting ahead of myself here. I have not really told you much about myself other than my name. I believe I should start at the beginning. I am starting there so you can see why I am the way I am and how I was able to change thanks to one seemingly ordianry young girl.
This is my story and I invite you to come take a look at the life that I once lead and how Miss Honda changed my life forever and not just my life but the lives of all the Zodiac members.
Yuki: Um Miss moon you may want to put in a disclaimer here.
Miss Moon: You are so right, Yuki-san. I don't own or have rights to Yuki or any of the other Characters created by Miss Natsuki Takaya. All rights are reserved by Miss Natsuki Takaya. *turns back to Yuki-san* How was that?
Yuki: Very good. This story is a sad one and I am sure that it will make many cry. Please, readers keep a box of tissues nearby for this story.
Miss Moon: Yes Yuki-san is correct. This will deal with some very tough issues and I ask that you all read the information provided below to insure understanding of the story.
I must warn you that there are many versions of the story out there, anime, manga, and fan fiction however, the story I am about to start typing here is one that is told based on a mix of both main stories. I have added in some more information that was only slightly implied by the manga and the anime.
This will deal with issues of depression, mental disorder, rape, incest, abuse (in all its forms) and personal determination of changing one's own lot in life. All this and more will be covered in this story. I don't wish to offend people so if you don't like these kinds of stories or feel they are too graphic please don't leave flames, i.e. griping about content, just don't read it.
All Flames will be deleted and ignored. I have not had issues with this in the past but I wanted to make sure this was clear. I will not repeat this so consider this your only warning.
Yuki: Miss Moon, that sounds almost rude.
Miss Moon: Does it? I am sorry but I needed to be said.
Yuki: Well at least it has been said.
Miss Moon: Yep. Thank you for joining us here Yuki-san. I hope to see in more of the story to help break up the sadness. I am sorry about how your life has been and hope that awareness can be made for other suffering people who have curses or even those who don't. Please feel free to leave messages here if you desire to ok.
Yuki: Thank you and I hope to see you around in the future.
See you all in the next chapter.
Preview
Chapter one covers most of the early childhood years until the age of 12. Will be very violent and detailed, within reason.
Yuki is 3 years old when his family discards him with Akito. Yuki spends the next nine years suffering before he is then forced to learn the ultimate punishment for others finding out his secret. From there till he is 14 years of age he spends trying to learn how to pretend like things don't bother him and how to act the Akito wants him to. Finally his able to choose between living at the main house or living with Shigure. This is the true test.
Much is covered in the first chapter. However these are long chapters and this means a short number of chapters. Please review and let me know what you think so far.
