Prologe
The man ran in the dark. His heavy breathing showing in clouds from the cold air. He stopped a moment to catch his breath. The mans eyes changed then into slits, the hands became scaly as four suction cup like pieces formed at the tips. Footsteps could be heard then as a shadow emerged at the end of the alley he had run down. Domon the lizard was being hunted by some thing. Fear was the only thing driving him now as he climbed up the wall and to the roof of the building. A whistling was heard then as something fired from the shadow. Domon screeched in pain as an arrow penetrated his tail and stuck to the wall. The shadow continued to come closer as he tried to free his tail.
A low and baritone voice could be heard then. "End of the line freak of nature." With a loud snap Domons tail separated and Domon continued to franticly climb. "Leave me alone. I've done…" before he could finish another arrow hit him. This time striking his back and into the left lung. "Doesn't matter, your breathing alone is cause enough. Now I silence it." Said the voice as another arrow hit and Domon fell. The shadow moved swiftly then as it pulled something sharp out and struck the falling body. An arch of red blood painted itself across the wall. The shadow grabbed the lump body then and raised the green colored head. "….mercy…" whimpered the wounded beast as the ax fell severing the head. "I think not." The voice said as it proceeded to leave. Domons lifeless body began to change again as the form became human. "All of them will die." Those were the final words that the shadow spoke as it faded into the night.
Chapter 1
Free or Trapped
In Japan things had changed for Kyo Sohma. Things had both gone good and bad, yet he didn't care as he looked outside the prison of the cat. He sighed as the birds flew from their perch on a tree. "Free, yet not free. Am I lost or am I the prisoner of my fate." Kyo had stood with the fate that had been sent at him. 'Akito, you may think I am here by force, but I am here by choice.' Were his thought as he took off his bracelet and changed to his other form; that of the spirit of the cat. Kyo looked at the claws on his hand and sat down in to a meditation formation. 'Perhaps I should leave for a while and go to Seans place and go on a journey.' He closed his eyes and began to meditate when a voice that grated his spirit spoke. "What a horrendous smell you have you vile beast." It was the voice of Akito the head of the Sohmas. This brought a memory of his mentor Tigoar.
"I hate this form; the mere smell of it makes people hate me." Kyo showed his fangs as both he and Tigoar tried to meditate in the clearing. Tigoar simply said the obvious. "What smell? I can't smell any stink. You sure this isn't all in your head?" Kyo shook his head then as he thought it through. "But I've always stank of death and decay." Tigoar smirked at this. "Obviously you've never bathed in that form then." He got up from his position and grabbed Kyo by the scruff of his neck. "Let's get you clean then if you think you stink so badly." Kyo tried to fight back but Tigoar simply drug him to a pond that had been beyond the clearing. "And in we go." He then proceeded to throw Kyo into the pond. A loud splash was heard as Kyo made contact with the cold water. Tigoar started to laugh as Kyo emerged from the water. "So feel cleaner and refreshed?" Tigoar asked as he himself jumped in.
"Disgusting freak, change back to your other form before I punish you." Akitos voice cut into his memory. Kyo put his bracelet on and stared hard at Akito. "You know, I wonder what possessed the cat's to stay here, and now I know." He then turned away and sat down, his back to Akito. He then finished his sentence. "They wanted to prove that they were human." Had Akito seen Kyos face something would have most likely been thrown at him. "Well to me you will never be something other than a disgusting freak of a monster." Akito said as he turned and walked away. Kyo just sat silently until Akito was gone; he then slammed his fist into the floor.
