Prologue
Even when I was a small child I knew I was different from other children, I wasn't different from the other children because I didn't have a father living with me and my mother, these days that pretty normal, though my situation is a bit different to why my father isn't around. Before I was born my father and some other members of his family got into a terrible accident that wipe their memories clean of a lot of things, my mother existence being one of them. I thought that was very sad and asked maybe if we could visit him and maybe try to and trigger his memory, my mother had smiled at me sadly and informed me that we could not go and see him, because not only would we not trigger his memory, but his family wouldn't even let us threw the front gate.
So I spent the first seven years of my life without a father role model; that was until I went to Shishou Dojo and I met the Sohma's.
Shishou placed me in a class that was for younger children, my own age, though I soon surpass them in Martial Arts. I was, I am good, very good, everyone says so, I always know what my opponents going to do, even before they do, I don't know how I know I just do.
Anyway, I was soon moved up a class and I was under the instruction of, the weird though funny space out Hatsuharu Sohma, who immediately informed me and the grey, silver haired man with grey, violet eyes standing beside him that I looked exactly like Kyo, the grey haired man, to me he looked a little girlish in appearance, but hey, he looked me up and down and shrugged saying that yes I did look a bit like a little Kyo yet my temperament seemed completely different from his and so was my eye colour. Who's Kyo, I had no idea then, and being only five at the time I didn't think it was right for me to ask the two adults who he was, but after hearing that I looked like someone, made me feel strangely happy. All my life I have been told how little I take after my mother and to hear that I actually looked like someone, made me happy. So after that day I kept my eye out for, well, an older version of myself, named Kyo. It was surprising really that I didn't actually meet him until I was just over seven years old, considering how often he came up into a conversation at the Dojo and that he work at the Dojo all the time I was there.
At the Dojo I felt very at home, I didn't fit in well at school, because I looked and acted different from everyone else. At the Dojo I was free to be myself and if someone was bugging me, I could punch or kick them and say it was training. No one really called me names at the Dojo when I went out to sit under a tree and talk to the birds that where perched in it.
Birds like me, animals like me, I seem to have a way with them; that's consider unnatural, this is what makes me different, I can understand animals, no I'm not like Dr Dolittle, I can't talk to them or them me, I just understand them, they aren't afraid of me, they accept me and know I won't hurt them.
It's strange though, all the animals that like me and take an interest in me are the animals that are mention in the Zodiac, the Twelve Zodiac, plus the Cat, don't forget the cat. They like me more and trust me, it's truly strange, but to me it isn't. I'm different in other ways, to other people though I don't now why. Why am I so special? What makes me so different from everyones else? I Just don't know.
