There was a boy named Akito
He liked collecting bugs and setting out rat traps
There was a voice in the back of his head
He didn't know what it was so he called it Melvin
Now everyone thought he was a creepy child because
He would spend all his time in a dark corner
Then one day, Akito met his new cousin
The Rat of the Zodiac named Yuki
Yuki made Akito look like a girl
Because for some unknown reasons, they looked identical
Akito didn't like Yuki, oh no he didn't. Melvin told him that Yuki was going to eat him in his dreams
So he crept into the Rat's room one night and shouted 'boo!' to make Yuki transform into a rat
The next day, Akito had put up a maze, threw Yuki to his mother, and ran off holding Yuki by the tail
He set him into the maze with death traps and set a small piece of cheese at the end
Hatori had taken Yuki before the knife had the chance to stab the Rat
Akito was simply told not to do that again
The next day, he had taken a rat-shaped rattle and whacked Yuki with it. Melvin suggested the head
Was the best place to hit
Yuki ran off crying and Akito amused himself by pulling the legs off a dead spider that afternoon
Later, the rattle became a stick and Akito smacked Yuki with it and said it was Haru's fault
Once Akito was playing in the sandbox and Yuki was put in there
Yuki had screamed and kicked sand into Akito's eyes
Akito cried out and Melvin told him to take revenge within 5.23 seconds
Akito had reached for a box of matches and Melvin told him it was safe to light it and set it against the Rat
Just to see what would happen
Well, Yuki was never the same after that
After a year or two, Akito was about nine years old. Melvin changed into being called Mervin
He was forced to remain inside the house because he was sick all the time. Mervin said eating poison
Would cure him
So whenever he was bored, he would command Yuki to come
And perform a dance for him, with a pink tutu. Mervin told him that.
And he would shove the Rat into a closet if the dance did not please him
After that, they told him to not ever make Yuki dance again after he had run into a wall
After Yuki moved out, Akito became bored.
He would amuse himself by letting birds settle on his finger
But when Hatori saw the feathers and the strange balls of bloody feathers, he shook his head
And took Akito's temperature
Mervin once told Akito that the sky was going to fall and
Akito spent his time gathering pillows that would shield him from the blue that was going to fall
Another time, Akito was pulling on Ayame's hair
Because Mervin told him that Ayame was actually a girl with long hair
He just wanted to pull it
When Akito spoke with Mervin, he would make incoherent noises no one but Mervin would understand
Once, Akito had run into a tree because he was arguing with Mervin
After that, Akito never went near trees again
So now another few years pass and Akito was twelve when Mervin changed to Pooky
Pooky told him that Yuki was going to gather a colony of rats to turn against him
Akito planted traps around his room and every time Hatori entered
The Dragon would have to throw a stick at the traps and watch the stick explode into splinters
At night, Akito would have to be restrained with a blanket because he would shout about
Flying monkeys and flaming sandboxes
So without saying much
Akito was a messed child.
