Chapter One

Undefined Purpose


She walked through the woods slowly only to delay the confrontation that was about to occur. Lininka Sohma stood five foot six inches tall. Her silky black hair draped slightly past her knees swaying with each reluctant step she took. Her piercing blue eyes gazing upon the path she was to take. Akito was the reason for why she had been so uptight and prissy. Her place in the zodiac was beside her brother Shigure. But unlike Shigure being the dog, she was the more temperamental and aggressive wolf. Lininka was not sure of why she had been called to Sohma House but she didn't want to find out. She wondered maybe it had something to do with Tohru, and if it did she could only wish it would result in her leaving. Tohru was not the kind of girl that Lininka would associate herself with. To Lininka, Tohru was too plain too simple, too nice. Lininka continued to walk the path to Sohma House wishing for a way out of her "talk" with Akito. As she walked she came about a stream flowing under a little bridge and decided to stop and rest for she was in no hurry to get to Akito. The stream ran so gently barely making a sound, Lininka knelt down on a patch of grass between a few boulders lining the waters edge and looked at her reflection. All Lininka saw was herself annoyed and tired,she cupped her hands and submerged them filling her palms with the cold water and she quickly flushed her face, to wake herself up a bit as she continued to kneel at the waters edge. Lininka picked herself up and continued on to Sohma House. Shortly after walking again Lininka came to the main gates of Sohma House and entered unaware of what was to happen next.
