Prologue
Yuki's P.O.V
It hadn't really occured to me that one day I would fall to my knees before the woman that had by chance wandered into my life...
I wasn't sure exactly how I had managed to come to this fateful day, or even how I'd met Tohru Honda, the notorious gang member of a dangerous gang that existed way back when her mother was alive...anyway, though, it's not possible to completely change one's person. It's just who they are.
Slowly, silently, a sharp dagger moved along the pale white skin of my neck, drawing a line of blood. I remained completely still before the eyes of a killer....someone whom I wanted so badly to change....someone whom I wanted to love.
Yet...I felt her pain....I was just as cursed and troubled as she was, being that I'm part of the cursed Chinese Zodiac...
The day her mother had past away, she was left a pile of dust in the wind. She had nobody to care for her, nobody to tell her right from wrong...she hadn't had her father either, for he had died before her mother. The only people she could relate too....the only people that could share her pain....were those of the gang her mother used to be in.
And so, in conclusion, Tohru, my beloved Tohru, had become a gang member, using her fear as an excuse to beat up on people that couldn't stand a chance against a weapon, let alone an entire gang.
I explain that story briefly, mainly because it all comes back to my current position.
Backed against the cold, sticky, brick wall with a silver dagger drawn to my neck, ready to taste my blood at any second.
And the woman who had entrusted everything she had upon me, weilding the blade that she would soon put me to death with...
Under the pale light of the moon, it occured to me that only a year had gone by since I'd taken her under my wing....removed her from her gang to I could see to it that she could get her life back on track....so that one day, I'd see her smile again. That same beautiful smile that brought butterflies to my stomach, and made my cheeks turn pink.
Slowly, her lips parted enough so that she could clearly let words escape from her mouth. A drop of sweat trickled down my forehead, sliding down my neck. I breathed what I thought was to be my final few breaths, and then I closed my eyes, feeling her put more pressure down on the dagger.
"I love you, Yuki-Kun..."
Up in the sky, the moon had been completely covered up, by the binding clouds of the night...and all fell silent...
