From the moment I was born, my parents knew I was special. How cliché , I know. They named me Sakuranbo Sohma, Kuran-can for short.
They said I was a beautiful baby girl, with big blue eyes and hair the color of moonlight. But it had been 16 years since that day, I cant discern the reason why my mother resented me. Surely there had to be a reason, these things don't just happen. I always did my best; got good grades, was polite, a good little girl. But she just never seemed to even like me.
"I've had enough of you." She yelled at me, she towered over me where I kneeled in front of her. Her long midnight hair covered her face, but I could still see she looked haggard and exhausted. My mother, Ari Sohma, was frail and sickly. Ari mostly kept to her self, locked away in her room with only servants to attend her. But sometimes she would call me in to talk with me, more like her talk and I listen quietly. "I'm sick of looking at you, you disgusting filthy child!" she rasped.
My eyes widened in shock, and my jaw dropped. "Mother, what have I done? Please tell me, let me fix this!" I pleaded.
"You were born, never should have been..If I had known what you'd turn out to be.." She sneered angrily. " Pack your things, I'm sending you to the main house to live with Hatori-Sama. I cant stand to see you another second, let alone another day." she turned her back on me, signaling that it was time I left. I slid open the door of her room, walking on the bamboo floor back to my room. I found my maid ,Hana-san, already putting my belongings into a small black suitcase.
"So its true then, I'm really being kicked out?" I asked monotone. My body was numb from head to toe. How could she do this?
"Hai Kuran-san. Hatori-sama is already on his way here." her dark brown eyes looked sad to see me go, but Hana knew that no one disobeyed my mother. I met Hatori once before , a week or so before, when he came for Ari's check up. I faintly recalling her begging him not to tell anyone, he politely disregarded her plead.
Hana left to check to see if Hatori was here yet. I picked up my bag and took one last look at my room. It was plain white with a double bed adorned with pink sheets. I sighed, though I couldn't really say I was sad to leave. Just confused.
I had heard that Hatori was apart of the juunishi, that some of my family was haunted by the vengeful spirits of the Zodiac. I recalled when my late father, Mamoru, told me the story of God and the Zodiac.

"Dad! Dad!" a snow white haired little girl cried excitedly , to a silvery haired man with tired blue eyes. "Story time!" she launched herself into his open arms.
"Ok, Kuran-san! But only if you calm down." his tone was strict but he smiled gently as he laid her down in the bed and began his tale.
" along time ago, God invited all the animals to a special banquet. It was held in heaven the next day.
They all hurried to the party, all eager to be together. All except for that cat who was tricked by the rat into thinking it was the next day!" Mamoru laughed at the cats gullible nature, so did Kuran even though she felt bad for him.
" so all twelve animals gathered around the table and feasted. They were talking and laughing and having a very good time. Then God held up his glass and said, ' let us always be together. Because we are all bound together, forever!' then all the animals shouted "Forever!" in agreement."
"Forever." repeated Kuran sleepily.
"Then God turned to his right ," Mamoru's eyes turned soft and full of light and love for his young daughter. " and asked his dearest Angel, who had been silently watching over them all , taking care of them, ' say we will never part? Say this bond we have will never end?' and God took the Angel's hand. 'Forever , together!" the Angel said." Mamoru smoothed Kuran's hair , the young child yawned.
"Was the angel pretty dad?" her eyes fluttered , almost closed.
"Oh she was beautiful, like the first beams of sunshine on a new day. Or a rainbow after a storm." he leaned down and kissed her on the forehead , sending her off into blissful sleep.
XxEnd FlashBackxX
Hana's head popped into my room. Snapping me out of my reminiscing day dream. I missed my father, I needed him now more than ever.
" Hatori-sama is here Kuran-chan." she squeaked , tears pooled her eyes . It was painful having to leave this house, and all its memories. I walked silently down the hall with her, neither of us knowing what to say. Before I opened the door to the foyer she caught me by the arm.
"You should know something, before you leave" her eyes looked into mine as she spoke truthfully. " you brought this cold depressing house so much warm and light!"
"Thank you." I said softly and walked through the door to my future.
Sooo whatcha think? R/R lols! Byee-Sammi
