An Innocent Love

By Chipmunk

This is Chipmunk speaking. Please review Chipmunk's story, so as she knows where she goes wrong. All Flames will be used to toast marshmallows. And to heat our home.

Summary: by Chipmunk. An idea she had.

What if Sohma Kyo and Uotani Arisa met before the manga? A long time before…

Two children sit in a kindergarten classroom. All the others are playing tag outside…

She's sitting there, covering a piece of a paper, and herself, in glue and glitter. But, somehow, she's the most beautiful person in the world.

I don't know why. She wasn't yesterday.

But since she found out, and she doesn't hate me, she's changed in some way.

She smiles, and turns the page so I can see her picture.

A girl covered in silver glitter holding an orange cat.

"It's for you." She says. And carefully draws a fish + by an arrow pointing to the girl.

"That's for what my name is." She tells me. "And this is yours." She draws a cat-picture, and an arrow to the cat. "See?"

A boy sits alone

I remember the day she drew that picture. I kept it. Still got it.

She was my first friend. And I don't even know what her name was. All I know is she had short dark hair and grey eyes. But every second girl looks like that these days.

No, she wasn't my first friend. She was my first love, really. It sounds stupid; I was a kindergartener, barely four years old. But it's true.

Anyway, she doesn't remember me. Because…

"I love you, Kyo-kun." She whispers to me. "I don't care about the cat thing."

But Okaasan heard her.

"Kyo-chan!"

And that's right, I mustn't ever tell anyone, but Arisa-chan's different, she cares, and that makes it okay, doesn't it?

Don't tell Akito-sama oh no no no no nononono please no-

Please don't, no please don't, nononono-

Please not my bracelet…

I'm not a monster… I'm not

Please… Won't anybody… can't anybody save me?

Can't anybody break this spell?

Can't anybody free me?

Please?
