Beauty and the beast

-Past-

"Hey Matt! That's mine!"

"Well come and get it!" A little boy with blonde hair smiled as he threw the doll to another boy who had big brown hair.

"Yamato! Taichi! Gimme my doll! I'm gonna tell your mama's if you don't!" A little girl named Sora cried out to the two boys.

"I'm scared!" The boy known as Taichi smirked.

"Boys are so stupid!" Another little girl beside Sora yelled out as she followed Sora back into the castle.

"Oh come on! Sora, Mimi, come back! We'll be nice!" The two boys laughed as they chased after the two girls.

The two boys finally caught up with Sora and Mimi who were retreating to the castle. Yamato and Taichi gave the doll back to Sora so she wouldn't go tell their parents they were teasing the girls again. Sora took her doll and followed Mimi to her and Matt's playroom. Mimi was Yamato's little stepsister. The middle child, for Takeru was the youngest of Yamato and Mimi. He was only two at this point in time. Sora was Mimi's best friend and the daughter of a Knight in Yamato's Father's army. Taichi's father was just like Sora's. Their fathers had been best friends with Lord Ishida since they were kids, so the four grew up together.

Everything in their world was perfect until the day Lord Ishida died of a heart attack, leaving just Yamato, Mimi and their mother. Yamato was only twelve at the time, but had to learn to be a king then and there. Things had started going down hill from there. He inherited his Father's rarely seen temper and started to become a cruel king. Sora and Taichi's families moved out of the kingdom to a place not too far, but far enough from Yamato's rule. Sadly, for the two were forbidden to visit Yamato and never saw him again.

When Yamato turned fourteen his stepmother died of the plague which hit the town and unfortunately this left the town deserted and empty from all the deaths, and people leaving. Few people lived or ever came to the town, or the palace for that matter.

During one cold, harsh winter an old woman came upon the castle and knocked upon the door. One of the few maids that still worked there opened the door. When the old woman asked if she could stay the night there in the castle, out of the freezing snow, the maid agreed and let her in. But before she was able to walk in Yamato stepped in her way and refused her request. The old woman asked again if she could and he refused still.

"Please, take this rose as the only payment I can make for my stay here. I am a poor old woman with no place to go, may I stay the night kind sir?" She asked as she shivered.

"I said no! If I let every beggar and peasant that came by here in, well I'd might as well be running a charity home!" He growled at her throwing the rose down into the snow.

"I see..." She whispered as she picked up the rose, and in a swift moment turned into a beautiful sorcerer."Then I can no longer alow you to treat people like this." She said looking up.

A dark shadow cascaded down on the castle, slowly changing the beauty of it.

"From now on you'll be as you act, a cruel beast.."
