Chapter 1-Akira Sohma

Out of all the Sohma's..I wasn't any more special. I was born the monkey, distrusting and always finding a way to burden others around me. I had a longing to be around people, to be accepted by my peers, but most of all my family. My mother rejected me when I was born..and I was sent to live with my Uncle Hatori. My late father was a terrible alcoholic, and though I've never met him, I've heard his temper was indescribable. Hatori accepted me warmly, and in every way, he was my father.

But never did I expect that I'd feel this way about one person. No, not Hatori. Kyo Sohma. Ever since we were kids I've been drawn to him..

But all good things come to an end.
