The story of the cat is long and painful. Not only for the cat but also for the ones around him/her.

It wasn't always the tradition to lock the cat away. More in former days, the cat only lived separated from the rest of the family. The cat wasn't allowed at the banquet and wasn't allowed to live in the Sohma residence.

The cat lived a lonely live outside.

But then … one generation, there was a big fight between the cat and the God. The God was so angry that he decided that the cat, and all the generations of cats that would follow, would be locked away in a dark, small room … the Cat's room. And that he would stay there forever.

Every day of that cat's life was a nightmare. In the mornings the God came to visit 'the monster' to tell him what he always said when he saw him.

"What a lonely, pitiful monster are you. Disguised as a human… but you can't fool me!

I will always see that monster when I see you. Even when you are in your human form. People will hate you and run away from you. When they would see your true form it will make them sick and disgust you!

And above all … you will never be loved! You will never have the happiness of being loved … especially not like I have!

I hope for your own good that you will die soon."

After everyday hearing those words, the cat started to believe it. From that time every cat has been locked away and tortured with those same words.

Teardrops fell on the page. It were the tears of Tohru. She felt so sad for Kyo. She didn't want Kyo to suffer like that.

Kyo didn't deserve such a horrible live…

"I'm home!!" yelled a voice downstairs.

Tohru looked up. Kyo was home. Tohru quickly wiped away her tears and ran downstairs.

"Welcome home, Kyo-Kun" sniffled Tohru. Kyo raised an eyebrow.

"Did you cry?" asked Kyo. Tohru looked down. She wanted to hug Kyo and never let go of him. Tohru started to cry again. Kyo didn't know what to do. He wanted to comfort her but then there was a chance he could transform.

"The hell with it!" mumbled Kyo and he hugged Tohru. For a second he could feel his arms holding her tight.

POOF

"Please … stop crying" said the orange cat in front of Tohru. Tohru fell on her knees. She couldn't stop crying. The cat laid a paw on her knee. Tohru looked at him and cried even harder.

"Why do I have the feeling that you are crying for me?" the cat asked.

"That's because I am crying for you!" said Tohru as she took the cat in her arms. Kyo was confused.

"But why? Why is someone like you crying for someone like me?" asked Kyo.

"Cause you are to stubborn to cry!" answered Tohru and she smiled a little, "You only cried once since I know you. Even when you know what might happen to you, even when people treat you like a monster" Kyo looked up to Tohru. Tohru hugged the cat and then put it back on the ground.

POOF

Tohru looked away as Kyo got dressed.

"Ready" said Kyo and Tohru looked at Kyo again. Tohru saw a tear roll down of his cheek.

"Kyo-Kun … you're crying!" said Tohru shocked. Kyo sniffled.

"I don't cry … because I'm saving my tears for the sad moments … the moments I will be separated from you … from this" said Kyo and he wiped away the few tears that had escaped his shield of angriness. Kyo walked to Tohru and touched her cheek.

"Don't spill your tears on me … I'm not worth it" said Kyo as he dried her cheeks.

"You are worth it! Every human being is worth to cry for! You are definitely worth my tears! You are human!" said Tohru and she looked deep in Kyo's eyes. And for once in his lifetime … Kyo believed it.

Momiji looked up. He felt different … It was like he was left … like he had said goodbye of something or someone. It was like he was free. Momiji cried. He felt lost for a moment and then relief. He felt like he was finally living. Momiji looked at the sky.

"So this is how freedom is like …" said Momiji and he smiled, "The end of something is the beginning of something …" Momiji couldn't help but feel also sad, because the bond that once was … was broken.

Akito looked up. Fear in his eyes. "Hatori!! Hatori!!! Come immediately!! I don't feel well!" yelled Akito. Hatori ran into the room of Akito.

"What's wrong Akito?" asked Hatori worried.

"Get Momiji! I need to talk to him!" demanded Akito and he looked at Hatori with eyes of disbelief. Hatori was confused.

"So it is starting …" Hatori thought while he was looking for Momiji, "It is falling apart … Now it is all up to her"
