Wow, I read a SM/FB fanfic and felt sudden inspiration to write one too. I never thought it could work, but if you think about it, why not? I probably never thought it could work because I never thought about it. Well, more soon. I'm so ready to go with this fic.--
PROLOUGE:
"You have twins, Miss Sohma."
Despite the pain of labor she had just undergone, the woman smiled an eager smile. Both the Cat and the Rat of the Sohma family had recently died. With only her and one other woman giving birth in the family, she was likely to be the mother of the next Rat of the powerful Sohma family. Given the current Head of the House, Akito, and his attachment to the previous Rat, she would surely receive more money than bearing the Snake had given her, which was saying a lot. However, had one of her children been the Cat the instead…impossible. Well, she couldn't have both, that was for sure, the hatred between cat and mouse went deep enough to ensure that she couldn't have both. Additionally, she had already bore the Snake, it would be impossible for her next child to be the Cat. The woman shuddered for a moment. If she were to bear the next Cat, her life would be an unpleasant one to say the least, for the Cat was the cursed one. However, if she were having twins, it definitely increased her chances of one of them being the Rat.
If the woman had been less involved in her own interests, she might have noticed how perfectly adorable the two children she had just brought into the world were. The twins had soft baby hair that was a creamy gray color, although the girl's hair had tints of silver that gleamed under the light.
The nurses of the best medical facility in Japan held the babies out to the woman. Disappointingly, one was a girl, meaning that if she were the Rat, there wasn't a way of knowing. While two babies were being handed to her, the woman only took the boy. He immediately transformed into a rat and the woman breathed a sigh of pleasure. The two nurses remained unsurprised. They were, after all, in the Sohma family, specifically trained for this situation and well provided for in return for their secrecy and topnotch medical performances.
"What should we do with the girl?"
If the girl had not transformed by now, she couldn't have been the Cat. A scream issued from the next room and confirmed this line of thought. The girl was normal, neither a hindrance, nor useful. Just normal.
The woman turned her attention to the baby boy, whispering into his ear, although making it clear that her voice was to be heard by the doctor.
"I'll name you Yuki, my dear, dear Rat."
"And the girl, Miss Sohma…" The doctor attempted again.
"I don't care." The woman said. Then she reconsidered what she had said. Twins were connected with a special bond. She would probably grow up close to Yuki. Two children who would work so close would be harder to take care of than one. "Get rid of her, kill her for all I care, but get rid of her. She's useless."
The nurse was not ready for this. She was a pretty young woman who had just gotten married and had, just the other day, been discussing children with her husband. She looked down at the girl and hesitated. She couldn't possibly kill this little child who had only just come into this world. Neither could she simply leave this child in some dumpster, which would be the same as killing her. She felt strangely attached to the small baby girl that blinked her eyes at the young woman and smiled an adorable baby smile.
The woman acted on impulse.
"Please, if you would, Miss. I'll take her." Ikuko Tsukino said, bowing her head low.
The new mother of the Rat rolled her eyes at the weakness of the nurse. Only idiots would willingly do something that was of no use to them.
"Take her, but I want her no where near my son."
