So, I actually started this story forever and a day ago under a different account, but it was one of the few that I thought I might actually like… So, I went and stole it from my old account (before anyone thinks I stole this from a random little kid). I am changing some of the words simply to give it more depth than from a thirteen- year- old's perspective. So, I really hope you enjoy this semi- depressing story of how Kyo battles with his inner anger demons. R&R!

"…Are you okay?" Her voice was quiet and almost inaudible. I felt her lay her hand on my shoulder. "Are you able to sit up?"
I tried my hardest and, with some terrible shots of pain, was able to bring myself up to a reasonable position propped on my elbows to at least where she was better in my view. I shook my head, trying to clear it and open my ears a little.
"Can you remember what happened?" She was sitting on the foot of my bed staring at me with her mouth so tight it looked more like a line.
I closed my eyes and saw so many deep pools of blood that my eyes popped back open fast. I shuddered. "I see pieces… Pieces I hope aren't real? Nightmares almost… I'm trying to forget."
"You can't..." She looked away from me. In horror? "I don't think what you're seeing is a nightmare… Your cousin and... She are dead... They were found at the bottom of the hill by the ocean in blood. There were blood stained footprints we knew weren't human, but no animal other people could recognize." She looked back. I looked away that time. "We followed them-"
"No… No, you're wrong." I shook all over. Angry at myself, terrified she was telling the truth, and scared as the images came in faster and more clear. "I couldn't have- not them."
"Kyo…"
"No!" I stood and ran down to the shore at the bottom of the only hill she could be thinking of. Sure enough, there was a large pool of blood, more blood than only two people could hold it looked like. I began to cry and their screams came back…
I am Sohma Kyo, and I am a monster. I am a human cursed by the Zodiac. I am the cat, and I am a murderer- murderer of the people I cared about most… The only people who ever truly cared about me.
