The Cat's Cursed Life
To begin any tale, one must start at the beginning. No tragic tale of events can be told and truly understood when you dive into the unsavory events without knowing the unfortunate soul before such transactions took place. Most great tales; or for simpler terms, fairy tales start with a curse. A curse placed on thirteen members of a great family. Cursed to transform into one of the twelve animals of the chinese zodiac and the forgotten cat; when under a great deal of stress or when hugged by the member of the opposite sex. The unluckiest one of the thirteen transformed into that cat. Truly the curse to bare, shunned as an outcast for not belonging to God's honored animals.
It started off as a simple day. Calm and peaceful, like how everyone would have wished it to stay. However, for one individual, it turned dark. The lovely day turned into that of a nightmare. One that would scar over and remain; not only for as long as he lived, but on his entire being. Unable to truly shake away the tortures that have taken place on such a lovely day. The sun slowly rose in the horizon, brightly shining it's hopeful light on the forest around the cozy little home distanced from civilization. The four occupants risen with the sun and began their daily routine. Three of the occupants held the curse. The rat, the dog, and unfortunately the cat. The dog by the name Shigure made his way to the breakfast table . Kindly waited on by the only female and non-family member. A sweet girl who's smile brightened up a dark room easily.
"Good morning Shigure, I just finished breakfast. Would you like me to fix you a plate?" She asked. "Oh Tohru , your so kind! What on earth would I do without my darling little house maid here to care for me!" The dog overly bellowed. Moving his hands to match his dramatic standpoint. "Tohru is not a housemaid, ya' damn perverted dog!" Yelled the newly entered cat. A fiery individual with burning orange hair, naturally tanned skin,fully dressed in a black school uniform, and a rich eye color that appeared to be a mixture of brown and red. "Now, now Kyo-kyo I'm merely showing Tohru my appreciation for all the hard work she has done, slaving away making us a lovely breakfast such like this." The black haired man said, exaggeration in his words, trying to make himself appear the victim of the cat's morning rage. "Damn it Tohru, why do you let him talk to you like that? Stand up for yourself." the cat went on before making his way to the refrigerator for his morning milk. "It's Ok, really I don't mind Shigure-" Tohru began before Kyo cut her off with an unpleasant hiss "Don't defend the pervert."
"For once Miss Honda, I agree with the annoying cat." The rat of the zodiac said from the doorway. "Oh Yuki! I didn't know you were up." Tohru exclaimed, still flustered from before. "Yes well, it's hard to sleep with the stupid cat being as loud as he is." the sliver haired teen explained. "Shut up ya' damn rat! " The cat yelled in response.
"Boys please don't fight. My poor house can't take any more damage." the dog whined, faking an attempt to keep the two boys from fighting. "I'm not the idiot picking a fight, especially when he should know he is going to lose." Yuki said, making his way to the table. "I said shut it ya' damn rat! I will beat you and why I do you won't act so high and mighty anymore!" The cat yelled in response "Forget it, I'm headin' to school." he added before storming out the house. Leaving his annoying relatives and secret crush behind.
After arriving at the school, the cursed cat made his way through the hallway, avoiding other students as he went. Stopping by a large hallway window when familiar ribbens from the outside caught his from the window he peered, catching full view of the rat and the bubble girl he had soft feelings for kissing. The cat could swear he heard his heart break. He hoped he would at least have a chance of happiness, even if it was slim. Tohru was always different. So kind and accepting. The cat knew it was hopeless. After someone feel for the rat, there was nothing he could do.
Kyo shook his head, he did truly hope that Tohru would look at him in a romantic way, he had hope that if they were truly close than she would accept him, even in his true form. His true form, the consent reminder he was an unlovable monster. The orange haired teen let out a heavy sigh, half heartedly making his way to class. All ready emotionally drained with the let out another sigh while sitting at his desk. Twirling his pencil between his fingers playfully in hopes of a brighter mood as the teacher entered, serious as ever. This time with a stack of papers in his arms. Curiously Kyo; and many other students, perked up. "Alright class, grab your pencils." the teacher finally said as he began passing out the papers "It's time for surprise test, hope you all study the last three chapters thoroughly." The cat dropped his pencil, today was just not his felt like crying when the test was place in front of him. He barely remember what he has for breakfast yesterday, let alone every piece of material from the last three chapters. A quick glance at the other faces in the classroom, Kyo could see the other students had a clue what they were doing. Yuki even has a smirk filled with confidence. Now Kyo just felt worse. He couldn't help but feel completely stupid, dumber than Tohru when she acts like a complete air-head. Groaning he began his test, already sure he was going to fail.
The rest of the school day didn't get better for the cat. He soon found out he was barely passing any of his other classes and got detention for putting his head down in class for a brief moment of taking in his failure. Dragging his feet home, long after the school day was over due to his detention, the cat couldn't help but feel horrible. It was as if the whole world was trying to make him feel like shit. Even after the heartbreak he had to face this morning. Which was still heavy on his mind and heart. He could feel his chest tighten just thinking about it. His eyes almost started to water. However, thanks to his abusive childhood he knew how to force the tears back to keep them from falling. So he continued walking. Only stopping once he was back at the house. He took a deep breath before quietly entering. Hoping he wouldn't have to deal with anyone for the rest of the day.
Unfortunately, some of the other zodiac members decided today way a good day for a visit. "Kyo! You're here! We were so worried you got eaten by a bear or something!" a loud rabbit yelled from Tohru's arms. "Momiji calm down, it's about time for us to go." An older relative said as he put away his medical equipement. "Aw! But Hatori I wanted to stay with Tohru a little longer!" the rabbit complained while the brunette put him down, flattered the boy wanted to spend more time with her. "Don't worry Momiji, we can spend some time together tomorrow. It is the weekend after all." Tohru promised. "Gah, all of you are giving me a damn headache!" Kyo loudly groaned before heading up stairs, not even getting past the first few steps before Hatori called for him. "Kyo, you have been summoned to the main house today. Akito's orders." the doctor said. "What?! What the hell for?!" the cat yelled in response. "It's best to find out for yourself when we get to the main house." Hatori replied."You gotta be kiddin' me." Kyo complained as he quickly put his school bag away in his room. Then he returned down stairs were he was waited for by his relatives.
The drive to the main family household was solemn . Even the rabbit didn't want to talk. For the cat being summoned by the god of the zodiac was no laughing matter. Kyo's very life might be at stake depending on mood of the head of the family. The cat was nervous to say the least. His day has already been one unfortunate event after another, now he was to go before the god. Things couldn't get worse, or so he hoped. After the car jerked to a stop, the orange haired teen exited the car, making his way inside the dreaded household. He was lead down the halls to the god's room. Knocking slowly, putting on a brave face, and entering when told to.
Akito Sohma was not someone who could be called sane, she was trapped inside majority of her life. Most people didn't even know that she was a girl due to her crossdressing, so it was no surprise to her when the cat referred to her as a man. However, what was surprising was how well Kyo looked and how rebellious he looked. A brave front plastered on his facial features. It caused her to grow angry. Party out of jealousy for the zodiac member who could leave the house. Smiling when she brought up the deal she had made with the cat. Winning against the rat of the zodiac before the end of his highschool years for his freedom. Losing ment he would be locked away in cage the previous generations used to lock away the family shame.. "So, Kyo how has your attempts to be Yuki been going. From what I heard my dear little rat has beaten you bad every fight you had." she said.
"I'll beat that damn rat before the end of school, a deal's a deal." Kyo growled under his breath. "So you say, no matter how pointless. Tell me Kyo, do you really think after beating Yuki you would be a true member of this family?" Akito began " You, the cat. No one will accept you. You're a monster, just look at your true form. It's evidence enough."
"I said I would beat him and I will!" Kyo snapped in rage causing Akito to act. The god grabbed his orange hair, digging sharp nails into his scalp before pulling him up from where he was kneeling before her. 'Listen closely cat, I am the god of the zodiac! My word is law, you pathetic creature! You would never be a true member of this family. Your a freak, a worthless monster! Your own mother took her life so she wouldn't have to deal with you anymore." Akito sneered before throwing Kyo down " So do you really think you will ever be a part of this family? No, because no one would accept the cat into the zodiac. Think about that Kyo, now get out of my sight." Akito finished with a growl. Watching as the cat quickly exited the room.
Kyo left the room as fast as he could, hurrying past Hatori and refusing the ride home he offered. The only thought on the cat's mind was to get out of that house, Memories of his mother's constant rejection filling his mind, his eyes brimming with tears. His chest once again with that tight feeling, making it difficult to breath in the house that seemingly closed in around him as his head spinned. He ran out without looking back. Already he felt like the world has turned its back on him. Akito's verbal abuse was just solid proof. Moving as fast and as far as his feet would taking him in the direction of Shigure's house, the cat was lost. Kyo refused to let the tears fall as he turned from street to street. So finding himself speculated. Head down as the sky turned dark, daylight quickly fading into the dark night.
The orange haired teen sighed, fully aware he was now lost, deciding it was best to keep walking till he found help, he continued on. Steadily making his way down the backstreet, uncaring for his surroundings. Stopping at pain filled scream for help coming from further up the street. Instincts screaming at him to turn tail and run away as fast as he could despite his body already being worn from his abscond from the main Sohma household. Shaking off his natural senses, he sprinted toward the location of the scream. Stopping dead in his tracts at the sight before him. On one side of the narrow street was a women, pregnant and dead. Her pregnant stomach ripped open wide, fetus and umbilical cord littered on the ground feet away from her, still attached to her lifeless, bleeding out body. Her internal organs now falling outwards as a pool of crimson liquid surrounded her. Frozen, the cursed boy found himself completely petrified. Unable to completely process what is before him; and the man. The man in the sleek, dog mask. Completely stainless, ears of the mask stood up and snout went out. No design or extra accessory present. A black cloak cover the man who towered the cat, covered in blood and making his way to where the cat stood frozen. Mind racing, screaming to turn and run, but his body was unable to move before the man in the mask closed in and his world began to spin as the man forced a shiney needle into his neck. A warm liquid could be felt entering his body. Numbing it before he could move away. The bloody cloak thrown over him, blocking his sight when he was lifted off the ground and thrown over the shoulder of the murderer. Where they went, Kyo had no clue, he could tell his body was being moved in various ways, he faintly remembers being tied to a flat surface when the cloak was removed from his person.
Kyo squinted, his eyes trying to focus in the dim light inside the overall dark room, or is a shed. He couldn't tell, but he heard footsteps nearing in closer and closer towards him. "So you're finally up, well isn't that unfortunate. For you, this will be fun for me." A smooth voice said, masked behind the darkness in the room. "You just had to show up as I was getting rid that whore." he said, practically spitting rage. As moved in closer he continued. "I'm still pissed off and sorry but i'm gonna take out all my rage on you. S'not like you can do anythin' 'bout it." the man purred as he set something heavy by Kyo's hands. "You'll feel this tomorrow, of don't worry I ain't gonna kill. You're just my current stress relief." the man went on as took hold of Kyo's right hand and strapped it into the device set on the table. "You probably won't be writing shit for a while." he cooed as he maneuvered the cat's pointer finger to steel edge. Pressuring the device under his nail. Suddenly, after the man slammed down a fist on the handle of the device, Kyo let out a scream. His nail completely ripping off his finger. "That's it, let it out for me. No one will be able to hear you; scream for me." Kyo's capturer purred in glee, as if the cat's pain was turning him on. Kyo breathed heavily as the man moved another finger into the device. Shaking his head from side to side the best he can in a desperate attempt to say no. However, the man just laughed before ripping out the next nail, erupting a pain filled scream from the cat's lips.
Continuously the cycle repeated. Nail after nail, ripped from the cat's flesh for the murderer's enjoyment. Tears falling from the teenagers eyes as his right hand bled. "St-stop…" Kyo barely mustered as the man switched the placement of the torture device. Preparing to rip the nails from the teen's left hand. "Please.." he begged, only to be acknowledged by the man's joyous laughter. "No can do kiddo, I'm really gettin' off right now." he said, cracking his knuckles before he took hold of Kyo's left hand. A pleasure filled grin flashed in Kyo's direction before the first nail from the left hand was torn from the cat's flesh. Then the previous cycle repeated itself. Adding to the teenager's recurring physical pain. The man, completely ignoring the boy's pleas and cries for mercy continued his base act. However, soon the boy was without fingernails on both hands. "Well that was fun while it lasted. You got yourself a pretty voice; nicer than that bitch I killed earlier." the devil smiled, prasing the cat for his pained behavior.
"Please, I-I just want to go home." Kyo desperately cried. "Go home? I haven't even had that much fun with you yet. All you're screaming really turned me on, can't let you go when I'm still stiff as a brick." The devilish man said, lust thickening his voice. Kyo's eyes widen in fear of what the man was about to do. Already knowing it was was completely helpless, at the murderers non exciting mercy. The cat was unable to anything but scream and cry as his body was abused in the worst way possible. The only peace he received, was when his mind finally allowed him to fall unconscious. Relieving him from the pain and humiliation the man; no the demon brought upon him.
In and out of conscious, the cat found himself once again carried. Head covered as his limbs swung with the walking movements of his torturer. He could vaguely remember being tossed down, and what was covering his head removed. He could still smell blood, eyes wondering. He could see the dead women close by. Meaning it was yet to become the next day. Footsteps faded away from him. Minutes passed, soon hours; he still couldn't bring himself to move. The lower half of his body in unspeakable pain. He saw day break, if he wasn't suffering so much, he would have smiled. From the direction he first entered the street, he heard shared screams. A couple; one a women rushing to his aid; ensuring help will come. The man on his phone giving directions. Minutes passed as the cat struggled to stay awake listening to the woman's kind; almost motherly words. In a distance, the cat heard sirens sounding. An ambulance; but for him a relief from the pain. Finally, Kyo shut his eyes, allowing himself to sleep as he was lifted from the bloodstained ground.
